Southpointe temporarily withdraws rec facility proposal for Grauer Park

School decides more consultation needed for proposed joint-use sports complex SANDOR GYARMATI s g ya rm a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Southpointe Academy has temporarily withdrawn its proposal to build a $4.5 million joint-use recreation facility with the City of Delta.

In a news release issued Monday afternoon, Southpointe Head of School Gordon MacIntyre, said Southpointe Academy is taking a step back from the proposal for a shared sports dome at Grauer Park to allow more time for the school and project partner, the City of Delta, to engage with public stakeholders.

Mayor George Harvie confirmed the move at the start of Delta’s council meeting on Monday.

MacIntyre said that when they responded to Delta’s public sports summits in May 2019 and March 2021 to enhance community sports amenities in South Delta, they received immediate support from various sports associations, including hockey, baseball and basketball.

Along with Southpointe, these groups see the tremen-

Southpointe Academy has temporarily withdrawn its proposal to build a $4.5 million joint-use recreation facility with the City of Delta at Tsawwassen’s Grauer Park.

dous benefit of having a stateof-the-art, year-round training facility close to home, he said, acknowledging there has also been opposition to the proposal.

“Any future public consultation with the City of Delta will focus on communicating more clearly the public benefits of a shared sports amenity, including the fact that the community

will have majority access to the city-owned facility and at peak user times, while Southpointe covers all construction costs,” stated MacIntyre.

He added they look forward to working with the city, as well as the broader local community, to address the feedback already received before the plan is reintroduced.

“We remain hopeful that

there will be an opportunity to reintroduce the proposal sometime in the future,” he said in a follow-up interview with the Optimist. “Southpointe remains committed to working with the City and we continue to respond to the Mayor’s Public Sport Summit, which clearly addressed the need in the community for additional sports facilities, so we remain interest-

ed in being part of a solution to that chronic shortage of highquality sports facilities in South Delta to serve our youth.”

Council recently agreed to proceed to the public consultation stage and started gathering feedback the past few weeks.

A virtual public meeting that was scheduled for June 21, was cancelled Monday by council.

Parks, Recreation and Culture Director Ken Kuntz told the Optimist the city was informed by the school Monday that the proposal had been withdrawn for the time being but there’s no timeline when the proposal might be resubmitted.

Noting there’s been a lot of community feedback already, prompting the decision to pull back for now, he said the proposal may be revised.

“Clearly, there’s community response to it that needs to be addressed and in addressing it they may come back with a new or altered proposal, or they may not come back at all.

We just don’t know,” explained Kuntz.

City of Delta taking cautious approach to its local restart 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

The City of Delta will be taking a cautious, conservative approach when it comes to its reopenings.

That’s according to a report to council this week on the BC Restart Plan as cases of COVID19 decline.

On May 25, the provincial government announced the start of the provincial plan, a four-step plan to carefully resume activities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first step saw a relaxation of rules for personal gatherings, organized gatherings, travel, businesses, offices, workplaces and sports and exercise.

The second step was June 15, while Step 3 is slated for July 1 and Step 4 being Sept. 7.

City manager Sean McGill said Delta will need clarification on what’s going to be allowed and what’s not as each new provincial health order is announced.

Step 2 this week saw, among other things, outdoor personal gatherings of up to 50 people allowed, as well as indoor organized gatherings of up to 50 people, highintensity indoor fitness classes with reduced capacity, indoor team games of all ages with no spectators and outdoor sports being allowed to have up to 50 spectators.

“We are now in a position to be carefully transitioning into the final stage of our plan,” said McGill. “Some adjustments in response to BC’s Restart Plan will be easier for the City to make than others, and as we have done all along

Delta’s outdoor water spray parks were recently reopened in response to the first step of the BC Restart Plan. See more on the B.C. restart plan on our website under the COVID-19 local section. through the pandemic, staff will be taking a cautious, conservative approach. Staff are also challenged with the uncertainty of when we will be moving to the next step as introducing new programming and changing facility uses takes time and has staffing considerations.

“As such, it will be very difficult to make adjustments to operations at the soonest possible date as set out in BC’s Restart Plan. We will continue to take a measured approach that ensures staff safety is paramount and that we have the capacity to deliver the program or service to the community at the high level that is expected of us.”

Step 3 of Delta’s plan will see a gradual return to staffing levels and all in-person services at city hall.

However, the report notes once guidelines and further direction from the pro-

vincial health officer are received, a more definitive timeline will be developed.

As far as opening up council meetings, public hearings and other meetings to the public, the proposed timing will be brought forward to council for consideration once the updated guidance is available, the report notes.

Meanwhile, when it comes to increasing capacity and recreation programs at facilities, it is expected that pre-registration will continue through the summer in order to manage total capacity as staff will take a precautionary approach.

While there has been a shift to virtual services and programs, a number of recreational programs have already been taking place over the past 10 months.

There have been more than 227,000 registered drop-in visits to Delta’s facilities since July 31, 2020 and there have been

no COVID-19 transmissions linked to public use of Delta’s recreational facilities, the report adds.

When it comes to Delta reopening seniors’ centre, it’s expected the soonest date for those openings will be this fall.

Formal opening ceremonies for the North Delta Centre for the Arts and the Douglas J. Husband Discovery Centre may also not be possible until fall.

The report states that prior to that time, the public use of those facilities and the Tsawwassen Arts Centre will be evaluated as provincial health orders are updated.

Delta libraries have been open for a while, but BC’s Restart Plan will allow for increased capacity and eventually the return of public use of meeting spaces and rooms, but no anticipated dates have been provided yet.

When it comes to festivals and other Delta

events, all in-person events from January through to the end of August have been cancelled or moved to a virtual format.

“The Restart Plan sets out an earliest possible date of July 1 for the return of festivals and events. As previously noted, this is a conditional start date, and while staff share the interest and excitement from the community, the logistics and resources required to safely and effectively deliver many of these events require certainty and more time than what is currently contemplated,” notes McGill in his report.

“As such, staff recommend that we continue with our current plan and evaluate in the coming months the potential for resuming some events this fall subject to continuing on the positive trajectory of reduced case numbers and meeting vaccination targets.”

Delta Police are still searching for a Surrey woman reported missing Monday after a planned outing to go crabbing and clam digging at Centennial Beach.

Wenyan Lan, age 54, was reported missing to Surrey RCMP by her family after she was believed to have gone crabbing in the late morning or afternoon on Monday.

DPD officers joined the search for Wenyan on Monday night when her car was located at Centennial Beach.

Search and Rescue was engaged and continued searching throughout the night.

“Unfortunately, we have no updates at this point,” said DPD spokesperson Cris Leykauf in an email update to the Optimist Wednesday morning. “Police are still working on all potential leads and information.

The exhaustive shoreline and water search at this point has not produced any results.”

Lan is described as: 5’3” tall, approximately 100 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. She is believed to be wearing hip waders and carrying gear associated to crabbing.

DPD are asking anyone who believe they may have seen Lan or have information that could aid this investigation to call police at 604946-4411.

The public will have a chance to comment on a proposed housing complex fronting the new Cascades Casino Delta.

Delta council on Monday discussed preliminary information about a proposal to construct the housing development near the interchange of Highways 99 and 17A. The application by Shato Holdings Ltd. would see a 153-unit residential development, including 138 apartment condos in two buildings and 15 townhouse units.

The proposal will go to consultation and staff review stage before going back to council again.

Requiring an OCP amendment, rezoning and other approvals, the buildings would be connected by an underbuilding parkade for

residents and visitors, accessed via a new private road.

A staff report notes the applicant is also proposing to include an affordable housing component whereby the owner would fund five percent of the market value per unit for a maximum of 10 percent of the total units.

Council discussed how the city could calculate how much Delta should receive in a parks, recreation and culture community amenity contribution.

Staff will have a consultant assist with a land lift analysis prior to the application going back for first and second readings.

The analysis is to calculate and identify the amount of increased land value if the project is approved over and above the current land value.

A staff report notes that a negotiated amenity contribution would be required based on 25

percent of the targeted land lift.

Council also retains the right to negotiate in-kind contributions, further financial contributions or other such suitable package of different amenities tailored to a specific project.

As the project proposal includes an affordable housing component, the provision of non-market housing could be considered as part of the overall community benefits package for the project, the report notes.

Coun. Lois Jackson expressed concern about negotiating for amenity packages, saying it “smacks of council selling zoning” prior to a public hearing.

Mayor George Harvie said the city has been doing things this way for years when it comes to major projects, pointing to the amenity package worked out as part of the Southlands development.

Delta rescue boat saves boater from burning vessel

Computer Service& Repairs

Weekly training session turns into dramatic rescue in Steveston 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 routine weekly training session turned into a dramatic rescue last Wednesday night for the Ladner-based Royal Canadian Marine Search Rescue (RCMSAR) Station 8 Delta.

The “Charlie” or “C” crew and the Spirit of Delta V was out on the Fraser River around 9:15 p.m. when a MayDay call came in for a 39-foot fishing vessel on fire and the operator in the water near Shady Island in Steveston. RCM SAR 8 immediately responded to Victoria Coast Guard Radio (VCGR) letting them know they were about 10 minutes away from the scene.

“When they got there,

the vessel was really engulfed in flames, quite extensively, and they saw a man in the water about 100 feet away from the vessel. He didn’t have a lifejacket on but was holding onto one of the boat fenders,” explained RCMSAR Station 8 Delta Leader Rob Gibson.

“They classified him as moderately hypothermic, but that can go down quickly. The river is fairly cold this time of year because of the runoff.”

The boater was taken to Steveston Harbor where he was transferred to hospital by BC Ambulance Services.

The vessel continued on in flames and ended up aground off Shady Island where the Steveston Harbour Authority team put out the fire.

“Most of our rescue tasking is with boats that break down or boats that hit rocks and are in a sinking position, not as quite as dramatic (being on fire). We’re not firefighters,” added Gibson.

“We are more concerned with the life and limb of people.”

Featuring four volunteer crews, RCMSAR Station 8 Delta is temporarily stationed out of Ladner Harbour during COVID-19 and is providing support to RCMSAR Station 10 in Richmond.

Once the pandemic is over, RCMSAR Station 8 Delta will move back to its usual location in Point Roberts, providing access to waters it usually responds to.

Editor’s Note

L

IAN JACQUES

ast week, we had a chance to celebrate – virtually of course – the achievements of the past year in community news media.

The B.C. & Yukon Community News Media Association handed out its 2021 Ma Murray awards. The awards, went to community journalists, photographers, editors, and sales teams in the province with 132 awards presented in 44 categories.

The Optimist was nominated for three awards (general excellence, newspaper promotion and investigative journalism). We picked up silver for investigative journalism for a story I wrote last March on a severe case of school bullying – a story that I’m most proud of and consider to be some of my best work in the 25-plus years I have been working in this industry.

We picked up a bronze losing out to our sister publications Coast Reporter and Pique News Magazine in Whistler for general excellence and in newspaper promotion for the two-week section of names we ran on our front page last year thanking the community for their generosity and support as our business was challenged due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we also picked up a bronze.

These awards were won due to the hard work of the exceptional team we have here at the Optimist, but our loyal readers, advertisers and supporters in this community also share in our success. We would not have a community newspaper every Thursday in print and every day on the web without you.

As I sat back and watched the awards program, in awe of the work of so many of my colleagues, my mind reflected back on this community. I thought of the trust that so many have in us to tell stories – stories that matter – stories that challenge – stories that celebrate – stories that inform.

This past year, has challenged us in so many ways, both personally and professionally. To be recognized for our work is both rewarding and humbling.

215 pairs of shoes on the steps of City Hall is a good start towards change

M

y aunt, who lived most of her life in

Johannesburg, was on a visit to Vancouver in 1986 when she found herself under attack for South Africa’s oppressive apartheid segregation laws.

At a dinner party my parents hosted she raised her voice for everyone to hear, “Who are you to judge my country for apartheid when Canada’s record for treating Native Indians is equally bad.”

There was a hush in the room and I distinctly remember everyone felt slighted, and then defensive. Someone piped up, “Surely you cannot compare South Africa with how we treat our First Nations?”

Thirty five years later and it’s evident that my aunt had a valid point. As the layers of our ugly colonial history peel away they are bringing old wounds to the surface and creating new ones.

It’s been a hard year, because not only are we coping with the pressures of a pandemic but we have been facing the ugly truth about racism. It’s all around us, it’s

Community Comment INGRID ABBOTT

messy, violent, uncomfortable and staggering when we try to take it all in.

With the discovery of the remains of 215 First Nations children in unmarked graves at the former Kamloops Residential School, we have woken up. We can no longer hide or deny our ugly history with respect to the treatment of Indigenous peoples.

Fear of, “the other”, continues. The mowing down of a Muslim family in London, Ont. last week was almost too much to bare. The tragedy of a family killed for their religious beliefs seems unfathomable, yet it’s happened in Canada before.

As a white immigrant woman I feel deeply compassionate, but posting on

Facebook isn’t enough. So how do we begin to create change?

For a start vote for politicians who are proactive, show kindness and compassion to others, read Indigenous authors, or connect with Indigenous BC to educate yourself.

Write to our MP Carla Qualtrough, because while I am pleased the Federal Government has pledged to implement the recommendations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

We want prudent results, not more cash thrown at a complicated problem.

The memorial of 215 pairs of children shoes on the steps of City Hall, instigated by Ladner resident Erin Mawhorter Alger, was an excellent example of how we can work towards change individually, and collectively.

Let’s think like Erin and do our part to combat racism and injustice, however small a gesture that might be, no effort is insignificant.

Letters

Follow the rules of the road

Editor: I applaud David Carr writing to you re: concerns about cyclists riding their bikes on the sidewalk (Optimist, letters, June 3).

These riders are of all ages and they show no

An open letter to my MP

Dear Minister Qualtrough: I have no doubt in my heart that you sought public office out of a desire to help people, and so I’m confident in knowing that you share the horror of the deaths of 215 children at the hands of church and state.

The difference between your horror and mine, is that you bring your horror with you to Cabinet table where you sit alongside the most powerful people in this country. People who easily find trillions of dollars for corporate bailouts and tax breaks, and people who decade after decade have not found the will to bring clean running water to Indigenous communities, who continue to battle Indigenous children in court so as to withhold medical care from them.

All against the backdrop

of trillions of dollars for corporate bailouts.

That brings us to the pickle you find yourselves in today. Facing the families of 215 precious children, those corporate bailouts tell the world what Indigenous communities already knew: that when Bay Street “needs” something for its billionaire CEOs, it happens; and when Indigenous communities need running water, it’s too much. When Indigenous children win a court battle, your government uses the most protracted appeals strategy taxpayer money can buy to avoid ever living up to the court-ordered compensation. 215 children.

You will say I’m drawing a long bow. Or I’m conflating different issues. Or something.

You will have a lot of things to say. But none of it changes the reality that you sit at the highest level of power in the country, you belong to a government and a party that has every ounce of power to do things differently, and still you turn a blind eye.

215 children. How long?

How long? 215 children.

Pam Shaw

Thank-you for your kindness

Editor: Early last week I was shopping in Joe’s market, Tsawwassen.

At the checkout I realized my purse was in the car. I asked the cashier to keep my things and I would be right back.

When I returned, the cashier said, “The gentleman behind you, paid your bill.” I was flabbergasted.

I asked if she knew the gentleman or was he a regular and she said she didn’t.

That was an extraordinary and very kind gesture. If that gentleman happens to read this --- I thank you and will pass on your generous gesture. There are some very kind people out there making up those who are not so kind.

Editor: Re: Stop riding on the sidewalks (Optimist letters, June 3) Thank you to David Carr for his letter.

I no longer own a bicycle, but do a lot of walking. Up and down 56th in Tsawwassen the traffic travels way faster than the posted 50 km/hr. If I were on a bike I wouldn’t want to be “sharing the road” with these vehicles whipping past. Tandem dump trucks create enough forceful wind to make me pause, even on the safety of the sidewalk; out, on the street, right beside them, I can only envision a tragic outcome!

For this reason I personally do not have a problem with bicyclists “sharing the sidewalk,” however, and this is a non-negotiable stipulation: when passing a pedestrian, please dismount and walk past. My understanding is that this is the law. The sidewalks are meant for the safety of all people walking.

On the dyke, another favourite place to walk, there are also many bikes. A much wider path than a sidewalk, for sure, but a warning that bikes are approaching from behind is much appreciated. Various things can make a person, or a young child veer off course suddenly. A bell is generally a good warning signal. When the lead biker goes by and informs me of how many more are in his party, well there’s a well-mannered cyclist.

J. Brown

regard for pedestrians.

Many times I have witnessed close calls where a cyclist almost ran over an elderly person as two sidewalks met at the corner of the street.

With the addition of push-button pedestrian walkways with flashing lights, bicyclists ride by at full tilt slapping the walk button as they race by.

The screech of car brakes does not impress them at all as to the danger which they place themselves into. So as you can see, this is not just in the interest of the pedestrian but also for the cyclists.

I am unaware of the legalities of riding a bicycle on the sidewalk; if it is not illegal then it should become an enforceable bylaw. Cyclists should have to dismount their bikes and walk across the crosswalk.

I am not against cyclists. I am in favor of more cyclists, I just want them to follow the rules of the road, stay off the sidewalks, and make it safe for the rider and the pedestrian.

YOUR SHOT TO A SAFE SUMMER. Get immunized.

About the Mayor's Challenge: On May 27, 2021, Fraser Health launched a “Mayor’s Challenge” campaign, partnering with regional mayors for a friendly challenge to increase immunization rates in the Fraser Health communities.

Achieving community immunity is essential as Fraser Health is the largest health authority in the province and the area with the highest number of COVID-19 cases.

This challenge will see which community can achieve the highest immunization thresholds, and the community that shows the most progress toward herd immunity.

How to Participate: • Visit letstalkdelta.ca/getimmunized to learn more about how to register for your vaccination.

• Tell us about your vaccination experience! The City of Delta will plant a tree for each resident that takes part in the Mayor's Vaccination Challenge.

Do your part to help Delta secure the win!

Delta gives preliminary approval for legal cannabis store 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 moved a step closer to having its first recreational legal cannabis store.

Council on Monday agreed to grant preliminary approval for a rezoning application to open a dispensary at 616 Chester Road, located on Annacis Island.

Council unanimously voted in favour of the staff recommendation without discussion.

The application will now go to a public hearing, likely sometime next month.

The operation would be within a 3,638-squarefoot portion of an existing multi-tenant industrial building.

The proposed cannabis dispensary would be operated by Seed & Stone, a non-medical cannabis retailer which currently operates one store in Chilliwack and is

expanding to Victoria and elsewhere in B.C. A Delta staff report notes that the owner has more than 20 years of experience in retail including managing liquor stores.

The report also notes that given the proposed location, the Community Planning and Development Department, Property Use and Compliance Division and Delta Police have reviewed the proposal and do not anticipate any impacts to the community.

Prior to the legalization of cannabis in Canada in 2018, Delta council passed a bylaw prohibiting cannabis stories in all zones, but kept the door open to consider them on a case-by-case basis.

The idea was to restrict any potential cannabis businesses to industrial zones.

“In the absence of a policy or regulations for

cannabis dispensaries, staff have reviewed locational considerations of other municipalities and have confirmed that this location would meet what other municipalities have established as minimum distances from sensitive uses such as schools, parks and recreation centres,” the report notes.

To be granted a licence by the province, proposals for cannabis stores must be supported by the host local government.

Since legalization, many local governments have authorized one or more cannabis dispensaries.

Those dispensaries are operating legally under the regulations and enforcement by the Liquor and Cannabis Regulation Branch (LCRB), the report notes.

However, some local governments, such as the City of Richmond and City of Surrey, continue to prohibit them.

We recognize, honour and celebrate the heritage, diversity, resilience, knowledge and achievements of Indigenous Peoples. We actively aim to learn about First Nations cultures and practices and strive to create a safe space for coming together in our communities. Knowing that there is much work ahead for all of us to do, we remain steadfast in our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation, and Resurgence.

New plan for Delta Nature Reserve, Burns Bog 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

Metro Vancouver has a new plan in the works for the Delta Nature Reserve and parts of Burns Bog. The regional district provided Delta council with an update saying that Metro’s board recently authorized staff to proceed with an engagement process for the development of a management plan for the nature reserve next to Burns Bog and the Delta South Surrey Regional Greenway.

The plan would also include portions of the Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area east of Highway 91.

Working with the City of Delta, Metro’s new plan is to guide decisionmaking for the park lands and greenway over the next 20 years, including planning for habitat

protection and enhancement, as well as new facilities and amenities.

The regional district notes considering these areas of parkland together will create a more cohesive plan that ensures coordinated resource management and integrated visitor experiences.

“The Delta Nature Reserve is part of the Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area and has long been identified as a key component of the bog lands to be open to the public. Nearby portions of Burns Bog east of Highway 91 include a large paved area, previously used as a peat plant. Both areas have opportunities for habitat protection and enhancement as well as recreation and education,” the regional district explains.

“Running along the

eastern edge of these park lands is the future route of the Delta South Surrey Regional Greenway, a multi-use trail and greenway corridor. The first phase of the Delta South Surrey Regional Greenway currently runs from Mud Bay Park to 64th Avenue. The future extension of the greenway is from 64th north to the Alex Fraser Bridge, and potentially to the Fraser River,” Metro adds.

The regional district also notes the planning area does not include the vast area of the Burns Bog Ecological Conservancy Area west of Highway 91, which will remain closed to the public.

In 2020, the regional district received 50 per cent ownership and assumed operational control of the nature reserve from Delta.

Ladner bridge to get new life SANDOR GYARMATI

A Ladner bridge rehabilitation project, which was put off by the city several years ago, has been reinitiated.

The city has issued a call for bids for an engineering consultant to come up with a rehabilitation design of the Westminster Avenue Bridge, which runs over the Chillukthan Slough.

The city is looking for someone to inspect the bridge to note the current condition and measure the current corrosion rate, as well as prepare a detailed design for the bridge’s rehabilitation.

Construction would commence later this year.

Eldercollege Delta concludes successful spring term Eldercollege Delta has just concluded its spring term, which reached hundreds of seniors in our community piercing their social isolation and filling a sense of connectedness and friendship through the use of Zoom, taught by the ElderCollege team gratis to members.

Despite the many challenges of provincial health restrictions, lack of finances and a location, it was the membership, volunteers and community who provided the necessary support which contributed to a successful term.

Sixteen general interest courses were offered while six technology in-person classes were available, but put on hold pending health authorization. These courses were provided

by volunteer instructors, knowledgeable in their field and included retired and still employed professors, teaching specialists and those who have an expertise and are willing to share what they love. At times students were so engaged with the thorough and captivating presentations that they didn’t want it to end as happened with Indigenous People of Canada where students requested the course be extended from the scheduled five to eight weeks.

Happy Father‛s Day!

Student responses have been most encouraging and suggestions for future planning or even new instructors from the community are welcomed.

With spring behind us, ECDS will soon plan another intriguing variety of enjoyable courses for the fall.

ECDS is located in the Tsawwassen Centre Mall, on the web at eldercollegedelta.wildapricot.org or leave a message at 604943-0262 if you require more information.

Earthwise to launch new seniors teaching garden There is no doubt that gardening can have considerable health benefits for people of all ages. It connects us with nature and engages the senses, while providing a great low-intensity workout.

Seniors, and others who do not have gardens

Thanks to the feedback from the community, Council unanimously adopted the following motion on June 14, 2021: THAT the Virtual Public Consultation scheduled for Monday, June 21, 2021 regarding the Southpointe Academy Proposal for a Joint Use Recreation Facility at Grauer Park be cancelled and that Southpointe Academy be requested to take into consideration the comments from the community received on the proposal.

at home, might turn to community gardens for that crucial healing of the body and soul…and for good reason.

Community gardens bring people together, reduce loneliness and isolation, and offer a fun way to maintain gardening skills.

Some seniors and other gardeners with limited mobility face a unique set of challenges when it comes to community gardening opportunities.

Garden beds are often close to the ground, requiring repetitive kneeling and bending.

Pathways can be overgrown or narrow, making accessibility difficult for those who rely on mobility devices like walkers, canes, and wheelchairs.

Earthwise Society’s new Garden Buddies Teaching Garden, currently under construction, aims to change that.

The Earthwise Garden Buddies Teaching Garden consists of raised garden beds built on a paved concrete patio.

The ground is stable and solid, with wide, wheelchair accessible pathways between the garden beds, enabling safe movement throughout the garden area.

Garden beds are set high off the ground so

EACH PLUS TAX

they can be easily accessible from a wheelchair or to an individual with limited mobility.

Some of the beds include benches for sitting, or handy ledges to place gardening tools.

Some of the beds have built in trellises for vertical gardening, to increase the variety of plants that can be grown.

The garden area will also include a picturesque gazebo to provide shade and a comfortable gathering space for resting and talking to others.

The Garden Buddies Teaching Garden is being built by a team of senior volunteers at Earthwise Society.

Once complete, it will be used as a hands-on venue for senior-led therapeutic horticulture programs related to growing food, healthy eating, and small space gardening.

Senior gardeners will also develop and deliver programs geared at youth to help develop strong intergenerational connections in the community.

The Garden Buddies Teaching garden has been built with support from the New Horizons program for seniors.

Pick-me-up-care package a hit with Delta seniors

Twenty-one lucky South Delta seniors received deluxe pandemic pick-me-up care packages as part of B.C. Seniors week, in an initiative driven by Bria Communities seniors’ residences.

Greg Sharpe nominated his wife Gerry, noting the challenges the mother of five and grandmother of nine, has faced in the past

year — a health crisis, loss of a loved one, and not being able to see family during an emotional time.

“But Gerry just took it in stride and is a fighter!

I would dearly love to see her receive such a lovely gift basket,” he wrote.

Gerry received one of the care packages valued at almost $300 and loaded with gifts from local busi-

nesses like Boutique Blanche, Chocolate Bear, Meridian Farm Market and Sunnyside Nurseries.

In a message to Andie Bakehouse after she dropped the package off, Gerry wrote, “I sincerely thank you and everyone involved in creating such a wonderful and thoughtful gift basket! I was overwhelmed and quite emo-

tional when you were at my door. The selection of gifts could not have been more tailored to my current needs.”

Bakehouse, who coordinated the project on behalf of The Waterford and The Wexford seniors’ residences, was overwhelmed as well.

“There was a huge outpouring of love for the

DRIVERS WANTED

seniors in our community.

We saw 114 nominations come in. Some were unbelievably inspiring — including three seniors who rescued a capsized boater off Tsawwassen beach. Others were totally heartbreaking. It’s evident that people really care deeply for the seniors around them and understand the toll the past 15 months has had,” said Bakehouse.

Also inspiring was the involvement of local businesses to help make the baskets deluxe.

Eighteen local businesses contributed so generously that in the end 21 gift baskets were given away, each worth almost $300. In addition, businesses generously gave supplies to create 70 ‘swag bags’ given to each senior nominated.

“The reality is that for many small businesses, it’s been a difficult year, and to see them generously support our seniors was amazing,” added Bakehouse.

DRESSAGE • CROSS COUNTRY • STADIUM JUMPING

Former Grand Prix horse with ties to Bruce Springsteen now resides in Ladner Mark Booth mbooth@delta-optimist.com Colleen Almrud has welcomed a new member to her team and he comes with a most impressive international resume.

The local realtor recently purchased Zero, a former Grand Prix jumping horse, that at one-time belonged to Jessica Springsteen, the daughter of the famous musician and an elite equestrian poised to compete in the upcoming Olympic Summer Games for the United States.

Zero was born in the Netherlands, at an equestrian farm owned by former Olympic gold medalist Jan Tops. He was purchased by the Springsteen’s and moved across the Atlantic to their Stone Hills Farms in New Jersey where he was based when not competing in events around the world.

In 2017, Zero moved to Eldorado Equine in Leduc, AB before he was acquired by Almrud through the assistance of Channay Lloyd, the head trainer of Country Lane Farms, a premier hunter jumping facility in West Ladner, where he now resides.

At 17, Zero’s days of competing on the world stage are over. Instead he will teach Almrud how to ride after she took her first-ever lessons back in February as a birthday gift from her husband. He will also be available for junior riders at local jumping competitions, as well as being showcased in Almrud’s marketing campaigns.

He is an old-seasoned guy who will teach me all the tricks, laughed Almrud. Channay finds the perfect horses for all her riders and she knew what I needed for marketing and he kind of fit the bill to a ëT. It doesn’t get any better than his story.

Grand Prix horses are actually the best teachers (for new riders). They are so well-schooled that it’s almost like they are on auto-pilot. I can’t think of a better place for him to retire. This is an amazing property.

Five thousand - that’s how many promises God has given each of us in scripture, but He won’t force us to live in the promises. You have to go get them.

Like Joshua, who had to step out to take hold of what God had promised, we have to do the same. Here are four principles to getting the promises God has made: Learn from your past, but don’t live in it.

Joshua had to lead and he had to let go of Moses as the leader. In Joshua 1:1-2, Moses had died.

The miracles Moses had performed for the Israelite people existed now in the past. God would use a new man to secure their victories moving forward.

Take hold of your spiritual inheritance. Joshua had to take steps of faith to receive the promises, but God gave a condition. He had to place the

Waiting for God to simply poor His promises on you is not how God operates. You have to go get it!

quer the land. But God assured him of his victory. If he focused on the problems, he would have cowered in fear.

When we direct our focus to God and the promises in His word, then we can reduce the fear and doubt in our own life.

Be attached to the word. This is foundational to Joshua’s victories and life. Joshua 1:7, “Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go.” God’s word gives us wisdom about everything.

From D-Day to flying 747s for Air Canada Tsawwassen pilot celebrates 100th birthday 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 was quite the 100th birthday tribute for Jack Logan, recognizing his remarkable aviation career.

The Tsawwassen resident, who reached the century milestone on June 9, was honoured a few days earlier by the Canadian Museum of Flight at the Langley Airport with a special fly-past featuring a vintage SE-5A bi-plane, recognizing his service with the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAFC).

He also joined select company as a member of the Retired Airline Pilots of Canada’s “Century Club.”

The birthday airport salute appropriately took place on the 77th anniversary of D-Day, the allied invasion of Europe when Logan was then a 22-year-old skipper of a large Sunderland flying-boat in the RCAFC 422 Squadron, located at a base in Northern Ireland.

Its main duty was antisubmarine patrol in the North Atlantic. On D-Day, Logan flew 17 hours over the ocean at relatively low elevations to protect convoys.

It was growing up in Ottawa, where he was inspired for

his future career by aviation events. Among them was in July 1927 when a Dominion Day crowd of 60,000 gathered to see a large collection of aircraft arrive in celebration of the first solo trans-Atlantic flight by Charles Lindberg in May of that year.

At the outbreak of The

Second World War, Logan applied to the RCAF and was among the first to begin training in the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan when it was launched in June 1940. He was trained as an instructor at the RCAF Central Flying School in Trenton, ON then posted back

to Saskatoon. Sask. He then headed to Summerside, PEI in preparation for his work overseas.

He returned home to continue as a RCAF pilot instructor at Patricia Bay, B.C. before being discharged in 1945.

Logan then immediately entered training with Trans-

Canada Airlines (TCA) to be a commercial pilot. It was a career that spanned more than 36 years between TCA and Air Canada, flying everything from 10 passenger piston engine airliners to Boeing 747s.

His career with TCA included being based out of Moncton NB where he would meet his future wife Betty, a stewardess with the company.

The couple got married in 1949 and will be celebrating their 72nd wedding anniversary in November.

Logan flew out of Montreal for 26 more years where he was selected to captain Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip’s Air Canada charter flight from London to Ottawa in 1973 to attend a Commonwealth Conference.

He transferred to Vancouver in 1978 to become Air Canada’s flight operations director and spent much of his time flying 747s from YVR to London.

The Logans settled in Tsawwassen where Jack became an avid member of the Tunnel Town Curling Club.

The couple have three children (Dave, Bob and Anne) five grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren.

Beach Grove professionals teeing it up for ALS on June 21 MARK BOOTH

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

These are hectic days for the pro shop staff at the Beach Grove Golf Club, but it still won’t stop them from taking part in an important awareness and fundraising event.

Beach Grove is among the 30-plus clubs across the province participating in the 16th annual PGA of BC Golfathon for ALS, presented by Pacific Cross.

On Monday, June 21, club head professional Brent Derrheim

and assistant pro Jordan Rodda will play 10 consecutive rounds of golf or 180 holes.

It’s about the 10th year Derrheim has participated and he paired up with Rodda the last time the event was held in 2019.

“It’s great. A lot of merit goes to my staff for wanting to take this on and continue to support ALS,” said Derrheim.

“The main goal is to create awareness for ALS, whether it’s participating or donating.”

The Beach Grove pros will tee-off around 4:30 a.m. and play on their

own until 9 a.m. then join-up with club members for the rest of the day, finishing up around 9 p.m.

“In years past, when it wasn’t as busy, we would play through groups. Cruise around and play a ton of golf,” added Rodda. “Now with it being so busy, we are going to try and find some groups that are supporters or effected by ALS and play with them throughout day.”

The private Tsawwassen course has seen membership reach capacity with a waiting

list created. The social distance nature of the sport has seen golf thrive during the COVID-19 pandemic and tee times at public courses are hard to come by.

“The activity level here is way up. We are getting upwards of 300 rounds a day here when pre-COVID it was about 200,” added Derrheim.

“We are doing our best to accommodate everyone. They are all getting on the tee sheet, it may just not be the time they want. Weather has been on our side and the course is in great shape”

It’s a strong influence of Japanese architecture mixed of course with western culture and that’s how this came about.”

Complimented by the talents of renowned architectural and interior design photographer

Ema Peter, the property has been featured in Architectural Digest’s Spain, Italy and Russia editions so far, along with Attitude Interior Design (Portugal) and Label (Poland) magazines.

Dennis’ creativity takes the home well beyond the lot’s limitations.

There are various living levels and outdoor features, including a centre courtyard off the living room.

“When you walk around the neighbourhood, there’s not very much happening with these narrow and long lots, so I thought let’s do something different than a predictable (floor plan) outdoor space in the back. Why not put a courtyard in the middle,” explained Dennis. That’s what makes this whole design.”

A spectacular roof-top entertainment area is highlighted by a touring piano shell that a keyboard can be added to for live music.

The family touch also includes the work of Warren’s cousin Dexter Dolores, an interior designer.

“The roof-top living area was actually Katherine’s idea and her

special request for the home,” said Warren.

“There is so much natural lighting and it’s always coming in from somewhere. Even in the dining room, my cousin told us to do a black dining room and we were like we don’t know how we feel about it and it’s probably one of my favourite rooms in the house now.

“This house is a combination of inspiration from books I grew up with sitting on my dad’s drafting room table. It’s a melting pot of Japanese modern with influences of mid-century style and elements of west coast contemporary. This is him. All the projects he has done has always been with a much larger corporate team. This is something he can really call his own and for it to be recognized like this is something we never expected.”

Delta student receives Duke of Edinburgh award 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

A Delta student is among 60 youth from across the province who have received the prestigious Silver Level Duke of Edinburgh’s Award.

The awards were presented by B.C.’s Lieutenant Governor Janet Austin in a virtual ceremony on Thursday night.

The silver achiever from Delta is Albin Soni from Southpointe Academy.

He achieved the Bronze Award in 2018, Silver in 2020, and is currently working towards his Gold Award.

“The Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award program has pushed me to become a better version of myself,” said Soni. “I first embarked on this journey

Albin Soni when I began volunteering at my local senior care home. To this day, I’m still a part of that community and if it wasn’t for COVID-19, I would be there every week continuing the process the award helped start.

“This is but one of many life changing practices I’ve adopted since joining the program, and for this I’m extremely thankful to the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award Community. Thank

you to the teachers who helped guide everyone to resources and ideas when needed, and a big thank you to my friends who were there every step of the process.”

To earn the Silver Award, the Achievers must work actively in the four sections of the Award program: community service, development of a skill, physical recreation, and an adventurous journey in nature, working consistently over a minimum of 26 weeks.

The Award is presented to the Achievers in the form of a lapel pin and a certificate. Achievers also earn two Grade 11 high school credits for completing their Silver Award.

The presentations on were held on what would have been The Duke of Edinburgh’s 100th birthday.

2021 HIGHLIGHTS Delta Secondary School’s 2021 grad class had an unprecedented year to say the least. It’s been a challenging year which has forced our grad class to think creatively and outside of the box.

The biggest way the 2021 grad class came together was through social media, more specifically through the 2021 grad Facebook page. Our entire grad class had the opportunity to join in, post, comment, and share their thoughts and ideas.

Moreover, in late October we were allowed to start clubs up again at DSS and the 2021 Grad Council was formed. This led to the first planned grad class event, which was a bottle drive, followed by two more bottle drives that have been highly successful, and allowed our grad class to come together in a way we hadn’t done since the previous year.

Without a doubt the biggest highlight from this year so far has been grad tag. You may have seen grads around town wearing or holding strange items such as water wings, melons and stuffed animals, or witnessed a grad being shot with a water gun. All of this has been a part of the months-long grad tag game. We are looking forward to hopefully being able to celebrate together sometime in June at grad and dry grad if possible.

Although restrictions hindered the 2021 grad class from doing most of the traditions and events that previous years enjoyed, it created a sense of solidarity between each grad, leading us to be united in a way possibly no other grad class has. ~ Olivia and Adam McKenna, Vice President and President of DSS 2021 Grad Council

Your future holds endless possibilities and you can accomplish anything you set your mind to—the world is ready for you to make your mark on it.

Over your five years, you have personified what it means to be a Pacer—Participate, Achieve, Care, Explore and Respect. As a graduating class you have demonstrated initiative, creativity, knowledge, talent and compassion as well as being incredibly articulate and resilient. You have strived for excellence in the classroom, on the playing field, in the theatre and in our community. I have been impressed with your responsibility, respect and commitment that you have shown all members of our school community. Each day, you have reminded me of how amazing of a group you are and why Delta Secondary is such an amazing school community.

This year was also an unprecedented one because of the COVID-19 pandemic. An event that will live forever in the history books. When future generations look back and inquire my hope is that you will share all the positive takeaways that came from this pandemic; the importance of family and friends to guide us through those difficult times, the appreciation for the little things and the beauty of our local neighbourhoods, and the realized belief that as a collective, cohesive group, we can make a difference together.

Over the course of my five years at SDSS, I have seen my fellow students do many wonderful things for members of our community. Regardless of who you are, this past year has presented a unique set of challenges. Whether you are someone who now works from home, or lost your job, or attended university from your bedroom or had to postpone a planned trip or perhaps became ill, the COVID-era has certainly left its imprint. Rather than focus on the challenges we’ve each faced, I have chosen to highlight a more positive theme which has come to light during this time.

Students at SDSS have consistently risen to face this pandemic. COVID has stung and it has hurt, but in an odd way it has become part of our identity. Despite having to cancel many trips abroad, band and choir competitions, live theatrical presentations and, of course, defend the many sporting titles which have been a hallmark of the school, we have come together as a group. How? …by unifying as one….by reflecting and understanding that while individuality is important, we are better served by the greater good. Namely, the need to protect family members, friends, neighbours and our community. This was exemplified at Christmas when students started an organization called “Kindred Spirits” aimed to assist KinVillage Seniors, or when students eagerly volunteered to collect food, water and clothing to help support the homeless within our own community.

This is not to say that previous graduating classes didn’t take time to help others (because they did) but this year has been different. COVID has been the elephant in EVERY room. It has shaken each of us. It has forced us to take stock in ourselves and, as students, we have become resilient. We have found new ways to stay connected and be heard.

Who knew we would all become Zoom aficionados? Who knew we could put on the fantastic theatrical production of “Mamma Mia” in a safe and responsible manner? The list goes on.

We did not let COVID ruin our graduation year!

This past year has been important to us all. As a graduation class, I think we have an improved sense of self, a unique bond and a stronger sense of unification. We re-kindled our need to care for others. This is seen by the many acts of kindness that have swept through our community. COVID created the problem but upon reflection we collectively rose to overcome it.

2020/2021 has been a rough period and my fellow classmates will certainly have no problem recalling this time in fifty years. Clearly, no one wanted to face this pandemic BUT there is no turning back the clock. This time and its memories are locked into our fabric… forever. We have looked after ourselves, our families, our friends and our cherished community. I am very proud of these moments and I am a proud graduate of the Class of 2021. ~ Noah Klassen, Grade 12

Through it all, you have demonstrated your resilience, adaptability, cooperation and selflessness.

For that, all of us are incredibly grateful.

You will forever be “that graduating class”. The class that missed events such as dinners, dances, sports and so many of the experiences that are a part of the SDSS fabric. And you did so without complaint. You carried yourselves with a maturity and compassion for the health and safety of your families and your community.

In the future, I know what I will be saying when those around me begin to complain, or say things like “this is too hard”- or “we can’t do that”. I will say, “Well let me tell you about the SDSS Class of 2021… They were a class that was resilient, tenacious, creative and resourceful, a class that began the change in our world and they could handle anything that was thrown their way, even a pandemic.”

he last 15 months of your K-12 education have been challenging … we have experienced fear, confusion, frustration, grief, anxiety and loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Our world has had to make adjustments that could never have been imagined. All of us have had to adapt to the uncertainty of living during a pandemic.

Throughout your time at SDSS, I’ve asked that we work together so that each of you will cross the stage at graduation with a sense of pride and a sense of purpose. I believe that together, with the support of your teachers, classmates and parents, you have achieved this. As you walk across the stage to graduate this month, take pride in being the best version of yourself and leave knowing that you are poised and ready to deliver your best to the future.

Congratulations to the class of 2021!

Delta students are thinking green, working on a number of innovative and fun ways to make a positive impact on their environment.

Here are just a few examples across the Delta School District: South Delta Secondary The SDSS Environmental Club has organized a variety of school-wide initiatives like Zero-Waste Lunch Day and Cozy Sweater Day in an effort to get certified through EcoSchools Canada.

To celebrate Earth Day, students held an eco-friendly Spirit Week where students could participate in different

challenges like bringing a reusable water bottle, eating a plant-based meal, and walking, biking or bussing to school.

The Environmental Club has improved the school courtyards to make them a friendly space for birds, pollinators and students.

Last fall, the Club participated in an outdoor clean-up of the school grounds and nearby park, picking up garbage and firework leftovers.

Sands Secondary The 2019/20 Green Team raised $800 to build garden boxes. This year, the Green Team has built, sanded and stained the boxes and installed them in the Sands courtyard.

Seaquam Secondary The Seaquam Green team has continued to meet virtually throughout the pandemic, taking part in a variety of virtual campaigns and initiatives, often working with green team leaders from throughout the Lower Mainland.

Students expanded the school raingarden, installed wheelchairaccessible planter bins for the Lifeskills program, participated in sociallydistant community cleanups, ivy pulls, and fish releases with Cougar Creek Streamkeepers, and made virtual presentations at local elementary schools.

“He was just a really great fit for us and he ended up needing a home, so we decided making that transition move as a family to Tsawwassen,” recalled Gentry. “He is the closest thing I have as a brother.”

The adjustment of attending SDSS proved to be a significant one for Nyah.

Being mixed race was never an issue in Surrey, a city loaded with multiculturalism in every school.

South Delta was a much different environment and some kids can be cruel, she said.

“In Surrey I just never stood out. As soon as I came to Tsawwassen, I had my hair natural and I would get pointed at and laughed at, even by my friends, because my hair

was big so I decided to straighten it permanently so I wouldn’t get laughed at,” said Gentry. “I have had people yell the ‘N’ word at me in the hallways and then just run away. I was asked a lot if I was adopted because my mom is white.”

Gentry has come out of it all a better and a more determined person, thriving in the classroom that led to her university opportunities.

“It has only made me a stronger person,” she continued. “It’s all guys to be honest and I have definitely put them in their place. (Laughing) There is a reason they run away.”

Gentry will let her hair go “natural” again when it comes time to begin her studies at Point Grey.

She has wanted to be a vet for as long as she can remember and the French Immersion student describes herself as a “science nerd.”

“I’ve never been so sure of anything more in my life. There not a single doubt in my mind of what I am supposed to do in my life. Being a vet is my purpose.” she added.

“I always thought when I go university I will be able to grow out my hair naturally and be who I am rather than conform to what the society is. “I’m really looking forward to meeting people from different countries. Meeting students with same passion and drive I have.” carpet

Congratulations to the Grads of 2021, from the Grads of 1947!

Nyah Gentry can’t wait to pursue her childhood dream come September at UBC. The Grade 12 student at South Delta Secondary is a recipient of the $40,000 Beddie Luminaries scholarship that she will apply towards her studies to become a veterinarian.

The Beedie Luminaries were created for promising British Columbia students who are facing financial adversity, are “resilient and gritty” and ready to make a “positive change” in their lives.

The application process was extensive.

“I had to make a oneminute ‘future focus’ video, explaining where I see myself and what I want to do with my future,” explained Gentry.

“I also had to write an essay on my volunteer contributions and extracurriculars, and another about my personal life and the things I have gone through and what it has made me into.”

Raised by a single parent her entire life, Gentry and her mom Stacey lived in her grandparents’ basement in Surrey before moving to Tsawwassen prior to her Grade 8 school year. They also welcomed into their new home a soon-to-be 40-year-old with autism.

It was through her work at the Delta Community

Living Society, Stacey got to know Roger Au. They developed such a bond through weekend outings and the occasional overnight stay that Stacey was hired by the Sources Society to home share with Roger.

Market volatility makes me nervous.

What should I do to stop worrying?

If you are nervous about your investments, you’re not alone.

Here’s my advice: Filter out the media noise. Dramatic news makes good headlines, but in reality volatility is normal and healthy.

Successful investing involves using the “ups” and “downs” to your advantage.

Ensure your portfolio is well structured. Your financial advisor should customize an investment portfolio unique to Doug Smith your circumstances, carefully considering your specific BA I CIM® needs for wealth protection, tax efficient income and Financial Advisor comfort with risk.

Benefit from a knowledgeable and experienced financial advisor. If you have doubts, consider getting a second opinion. Trust and confidence should be the foundation of your relationship with your advisor.

Hi Susie, You need to address some issues in your Storm System. Your Catch-Basins may be full of debris. If so, they need sucked out. If you do not have leaf guards inside your Catch-Basins, debris may have moved down your lines and caused blockages there.

Your best bet would be to have a Combi-Vac Truck come in and clear your system. They have the capacity to suck out your Catch-basins and then Hydro-Jet all your Storm Lines. It would be advisable to Video Inspect all your lines after the flushing and make sure there is no breaks or other concerns. After the problem is solved, put your Storm System and your Sani System on an annual maintenance program to avoid this happening in the future. Give us a call if you need help setting any of this up.

My elderly mother has her first hearing test booked and I’d like to come with her.

Is this allowed?

You have a whole shelf full of sunscreen – why so many?

I have lots of different types due to different needs. Look for a sunscreen that has a minimum of SPF 30 or higher. The rating lists the difference in time it takes for your skin to burn in the sun compared with no sun protection. The sunscreen should protect against both ultraviolet B rays that cause skin burning and ultraviolet A rays that penetrate more deeply into the skin and cause premature aging and contribute to the development of skin cancers. The sunscreen needs to be applied at least ½ hour prior to sun exposure and should be applied liberally and reapplied often.

Sunscreens are just one tool in protecting your skin from the sun; other measures include avoiding direct sun exposure from 11 am to 3 pm, wearing sun protective clothing including wide brim hat and protecting your eyes from the sun using UV blocking sunglasses. Come and see me in the pharmacy with any further questions.

ADVICE FROM THE

professionals I am very nervous to go to my dental appointments. Is there anything I can do to make my visit more comfortable?

WHAT DOES A MORTGAGE BROKER DO?

In short, a mortgage broker is a mortgage expert who can guide you through the mortgage process, and do so by shopping your mortgage request with any number of lender partners, instead of just one.

Mortgage brokers are the ones who connect mortgage lenders to borrowers, as opposed to you working directly with a retail bank/lender.

Lisa Manwaring

If you’ve been denied in the past, or have a tricky scenario, a mortgage broker could be just the ticket to get that loan approval. They may also provide a more personal experience if you want a hands-on approach with www.lisamanwaring.com your mortgage. lisa@southwestmortgage.ca

Our dental practice offers a form of sedation that makes the dental appointment fly by without any down time.

We, at our office, take pride in putting our patients first and making their dental visit as comfortable as possible.

Our staff understands that some people have had bad experiences in the past and that coming into the dental clinic can cause feelings of anxiety for some. The sedation Dr. Raj Dhiman is very simple, it is an oral medication taken an hour 604-946-9588 prior to your appointment. It is ideal for dental treatment because during the appointment our patients are able to communicate with us but do not remember most of their appointment after. All patients are monitored closely during the sedation and all precautions are followed to make this visit as comfortable as possible so you can feel confident in your appointment with us. This form of sedation can be used during any procedure, 130 – 4977 Trenant Street, Delta even during dental cleanings. smile@ladnerdentist.com

Are Air Purifier Helpful in Your Home?

I read that gold is up almost $200 in the last month. Is this close to a new high?

Air purifiers are a small appliance that aid in the removal of air pollutants in your home.

They are especially helpful for people who suffer from asthma or allergies and are also used to get rid of second-hand smoke.

With an ultraviolet light in an air purifier, it will neutralize microscopic particles, bacteria, viruses, and provides safe, clean air throughout the home. At Vacuum Works Plus, our Cylco UV air purifiers use ultraviolet light and has a Hepa H13 filter to capture dust, smoke, pollen, and other allergens. Yes, air purifiers are great because they reduce concentrations of pollutants.

Having clean, mold-free air circulating around your home is one of the easiest things you can do to protect the health of your family.

In the last two months (April 1- June 1), gold has gone from $1686 US to 1915 US. This is almost $230 US increase.

However in that same time period gold only rose $130 Canadian due to the rose in the Canadian dollar.

This is similar to 2011 when gold hit its high of $1925 US which translated to $1875 Canadian due to our dollar being worth more than the US. The new high in gold was last August when gold reached Jim Richardson, $2063 US which was almost $2700 CDN. owner Many analysts think gold is still going to increase but many of the same analysts believe that the Canadian dollar is also going to increase.

Silver has had a much bigger increase in the last year with prices last June at $18.00 US compared to $28.00 US today.

Silver still is not reached its high from 1980 at $50.00 CDN or 2011 high of $48.00 CDN. Many people who bough silver in both 1980 and 2011 have been bringing silver in to sell us while the price is strong.

Western Coin & Stamp Others are buying figuring prices are going to rise 6960 No. 3 Road, Richmond, BC V6Y 2C5 due to increased demand for high tech industry. www.westerncoinsandstamps.net JIM westerncns@telus.net

Paying It Forward

N

ext year the Optimist will celebrate our 100th year serving South Delta. In this time, the Optimist has gained a reputation as an avid supporter of our community’s charitable and non-profit organizations. Our editorial staff work closely with these groups to make sure their messages are relayed in our stories and event calendars. In addition, many of our staff volunteer time to boards and we have often donated proceeds from advertising features to community ty-minded y organizations.

Most importantly, we have also been able to support local charities through the sponsorship of their advertising – both online and in our printed edition.

As the media landscape has changed so has our financial ability tyy to continue these sponsorships.

We have needed to become increasingly selective in regards to which organizations we can support.

In many cases, we have had to scale back sponsorships entirely. This, inevitably, adds pressure to the organizations to increase their promotional budgets. Unfortunately, in many cases this is not an option and the fundraising initiatives are canceled altogether.

The Optimist is reaching out to our readers, those of you who support our local initiatives, to ask for your support. Between now and August 31, 2021, any contribution made to the Optimist, however large or small, will be payed forward in twice the promotional space to South Delta’s many wonderful charitable and non-profit organizations.

Contributions may be made at delta-optimist.com/support, or if you prefer not to donate online, you may call 604-946-4451 and press ‘5’ for Contributions, or drop-off / mail-in cheques to: 5008 47A Avenue, Ladner, BC, V4K 1T8.

Hopes high for a 2021 football season

Sun Devils poised to return to the field with training camp and game dates finalized MARK BOOTH

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

How long has it been since the last time the South Delta Sun Devils played a home game in high school football?

Key members from that No. 1 ranked team at the time will be entering their second-year at the University of Calgary come September.

The COVID-19 pandemic has kept the “Friday Night Lights” off for nearly 20 months but at last there is hope on the horizon as daily case numbers drop and B.C.’s Restart Plan entered another phase on Tuesday.

Sun Devils head coach Ray Moon and his staff have been running weekly workouts this month that feature no equipment, no physical contact and plenty of social distance measures.

“This is basically the entire junior varsity team (from two years ago) that we are now working with,” said Moon.

“They have missed that year of development so we are now accessing who we got and who plays at what position. These high school kids grow and change a lot in two years.”

The practices should change dramatically come late August

PHOTO BY MARK BOOTH

Running back Jesse Mitran is expected to have a leading role with the Sun Devils next season.

when the program is expected to receive approval from BC School Sports to open a “normal” training camp and head into a full game schedule a couple of weeks later.

The plan is to travel to the Okanagan Aug. 28 for a

combined practice with the Kelowna Owls.

The Sun Devils will do the same with Eric Hamber the following week then prepare for their home opener when South Kamloops makes the trip to Tsawwassen in non-

conference play Sept. 11.

South Delta will once again be part of the Western AAA Conference that is poised to be even tougher than previous years thanks to the shuffling of a couple of teams.

The Carson Graham Eagles

have been replaced by the St. Thomas More Knights, joining the Sun Devils, Vancouver College, Notre Dame, Mt. Doug, Seaquam, New West and Belmont.

Kenny Scott is penciled in to be the team’s starting quarterback in what’s expected to be a much different looking offence than in past years.

The potent passing attack that resulted in QB Ben McDonald and receivers Evan Paterson and Ethan Troniak taking their talents to Calgary and the Dinosaurs university program, will be leaning more on the ground game under new offensive coordinator Jerry Mullis. Running back Jesse Mitran is expected to be the featured back with some possible “surprises” according to Moon.

“We have a couple of rugby players who have never played organized football before but it will be very interesting to see what they can do once they have the ball in their hands,” added Moon.

The new-look coaching staff also includes former CFL and UBC standout Mike Emery who will be working with the linebackers. Moon has welcomed back longtime assistant Bruce McDonald.

Beach Grove’s Derrheim captures VGT stop at Mayfair Lakes MARK BOOTH

Charlie Derrheim

Competitive golf is back in Metro Vancouver and Charlie Derrheim has wasted little time in making an impression.

The 15-year-old Beach Grove Golf Club junior member captured Vancouver Golf Tour’s

Mayfair Lakes Amateur in Richmond.

Derrheim rallied to post an even par 71 and finish one shot ahead of Kyle Dunne and Jay Xu in the 16-player championship flight. He birdied the par-4 16th hole, then pulled ahead with another birdie on the par-5 523-yard signa-

ture 18th hole. It was his fourth birdie on the back nine.

There was more local flavor with Russell Howlett finishing in fifth with a 2-over 73 while Alex Zhang finished tied for seventh at 75.

It was Derrheim’s first competitive tournament since early April when he

competed at the Maple Leaf Junior Tour’s stop at Morgan Creek in Surrey.

COVID-19 health restrictions had put all local golf tours on hold until ViaSport’s Re-Start plan commenced on May 25.

Derrheim used the pause in play to work on all aspects of his game, especially his touch

around the greens, and it certainly has paid off.

Golf runs deep in his family with his dad Brent Derrheim being the head professional at Beach Grove, while his mom, Tracey Lipp-Derrheim is a Delta Sports Hall of Fame member and a former Canadian Amateur champion.

REMEMBRANCES IN MEMORIAM

SPECKMAIER, Norman John October 20, 2020

On this day Norman peacefully depart rted, t with his family beside him, leaving behind this grieving family who will forever hold him close in their heart rts, t as they were so very ry y close in life and love.

He delighted in his children and didn’t balk at diaper changing or dealing with all facets of child raising. He was so proud of their three kids, their accomplishments and their successful journey through life.

Left ftt to grieve are his wife of 62 years, Natalie, and three adult children, Shannon, Nicole (Pete) and Kevin (Julia), four grandchildren, Kara (James), Jesse (Sasha), Julian and Madelaine, and seven great-grandchildren, Jacklynn, Emma, Leah and Katie Natalie (Kara and James) and Luka, Sava and Marko (Jesse and Sasha) his sister, Jeanne Purv rvis, v sistersin-law Gloria Rein and Sonya Piaskoski and many nieces and nephews.

He continued working in the financial sector, was transferred to Medicine Hat and then to Edmonton, with the final destination being Vancouver. There he managed a trust company branch and eventually struck out on his own as a mort rtgage t broker. He was well respected in this business for his honesty, integrity and work ethic. He became the go-to guy if a broker had trouble placing a mort rtgage t and “give it to Norm” was a frequent cry ry y by those in the business.

Norman was born in Cabri, Saskatchewan to Emil and Labeeta Speckmaier, moved to Harrison Hot Springs and lastly to Calgary ry. y Norman graduated from high school there and went to work at the Bank of Montreal.

Norm would be in the office early, work late and no matter who rang the office doorbell selling goods, services or just to visit, he always welcomed them and was always curious to see what someone was selling. He would buy all manner of goods and services as he had many jobs in between, moonlighting during early years while raising a young family and therefore familiar with the bravery it took to do “cold calling”. He was also of the era where the “in person” experience was foremost in his dealings with all people. Getting him to invest in a fax machine meant he did not have to go downtown daily to drop off documents, sign papers, meet with bankers, and drive around the city, something he cherished!

He was transferred from Calgary to Drumheller, Alberta and wouldn’t have dreamed that his future wife was in the process of growing up there. When he had enough money saved, he followed a friend to Arizona and was accepted at the University of Arizona, Tucson. There followed the best experiences of his young life. “Rushed” by the Kappa Sigma fraternity and pursued by sorority girls, he worked his way through university by “hashing” at a nearby sorority house. (No surprise there!)

He was lauded with many titles in the never-ending frat society life i.e. Mr. Formal, Most Eligible Bachelor, Kappa Man and others. The friendships he made with his frat Brothers were kept close to his heart rtt and Natalie was fortunate enough to meet many of them at University Homecoming celebrations. He valued those memories to the end of his days and has passed the baton to Natalie.

Other than being there for the good times, he graduated with a B.Sc in Business Administration. He moved to Los Angeles to work in a bank, and with his movie-star looks, almost made it BIG in Hollywood. A bit part in a Robert rtt Wagner film “A Kiss Before Dying” where he drove his yellow convert rtible t past Robert rtt on a pay phone. However, he soon became disenchanted with life in America and headed home to Calgary ry. y This is where he met and married Natalie and family life began.

He loved his hardware store visits every ry y Saturday… we never knew Remington made 10” electric chainsaws… and we found Norm had one.

Norm was known for his impeccable business style formal, polished, in a suit and tie every ry y day he was in the offi ffice. fi “Casual Friday” was not something he understood!

Being in business on West 4th Ave in Kitsilano since 1972 ensured that he watched the neighborhood change, in addition to getting to know every ryone y on the blocks between the offi ffice fi and Starbucks, twice daily at 10 and 3 for coff ffee, f and Friday lunch with his daughter Shannon, who worked with him for almost 20 years.

Always the consummate gentleman, he never swore, (“gol dangit” was the extent of it) never gossiped, never surrounded himself with drama, with every ryt ything t taken at face value as he assumed every ryone y had to be as honest as he

was! However he always knew when something wasn’t quite right… therefore had many interesting and funny stories! And when he came up with a one-liner, you were left ftt laughing for a week… when asked where he got his head of curly hair from, he said “it came with my head”…

Aft fter t suff ffering f a TIA in 2010 he made the decision short rtly t aft fter t to retire from the business. It was his decision, however he would tell anyone who asked “my wife made me do it!”

Norm’s retirement years surprised him, as he found he enjoyed travel, since he didn’t have part rtt of himself “thinking about the offi ffice”. fi He enjoyed a newly discovered love of all-inclusive destinations in Mexico and Cuba, as former travels to Malaysia, Thailand, England and many European destinations were previously overshadowed by having left ftt his business behind.

The final trip was one he never forgot - a river cruise from Moscow to St. Petersburg with a couple of dear friends.

Soon, travel got to be too much trouble and was voluntarily given up while the memories were still enjoyed.

Norm’s TIA had resulted in short rtt term memory ry y loss and this was followed by accidents resulting in broken bones. A hip replacement in 2016 and a long road to recovery ry y didn’t get him back to pre-accident level. Many months of physiotherapy and specialized exercise classes kept him fairly mobile. At the end of September, he fell again and broke the implanted hip.

He had Superpath surgery ry y but unrelated complications had him fighting a battle he couldn’t, and didn’t, win.

There are not words enough to thank the medical staff fff in the Ort rthopaedic t Ward of Vancouver General Hospital for the wonderf rful, f compassionate care given to Norman.

A memorial will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please consider the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra as the events attended were a special joy in his life.

Thank you to every ryone y who has expressed their kind condolences about how funny, kind, good, and interesting he was.

He was a true man of his era and will be truly, sadly missed and very ry y fondly remembered.

OBITUARIES ERKENS, Albertina Maria June 18, 1933 − June 10, 2021

Fond memories linger every day, Remembrance keeps them near.

QUEANO, Milagros Jacinto On June 8th, 2021, Milagros “Millie” passed away peacefully at the age of 70. She is the beloved wife of her husband of 47 years Peter and a loving mother to their daughter Cynthia.

She was predeceased by her father Edmundo and mother Liwayway, as well her sister Barbara.

She was born in 1950 in Malolos City in the Philippines. She achieved a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance and worked as an Executive Secretary to the Chairman of a group of companies in the Philippines before coming to Canada in 1988.

Her career in Canada was with the airlines, working with Canadian Air Lines and Air Canada for 27 years. Millie was a devout Christian who believed deeply in miracles and in her faith. She was an active parishioner at the Sacred Heart Parish of Delta, where she participated in church and charitable events and took great pleasure in teaching catechism to the youngest of the flock.

Millie was known to have a generous and forgiving heart. She supported charities both in Canada and in the Philippines, by donating her time and providing financial support whenever she could.

She was a loyal friend and sister, a fiercely protective mother and auntie, and a loyal and grateful wife. She touched many hearts along her life’s journey, and though her physical presence will be missed, her spiritual presence will continue to be felt in all whose lives she impacted.

Funeral Mass will be live streamed on Tuesday, June 22, 2021, 11:00 AM PDT. Charitable donations would be appreciated by the family being made to the BC Cancer Foundation.
