PHIL MELNYCHUK Contributing Writer Dr.Colleen Leelikes to look on the brightside of things “I’m usually an optimist,” she said last week. Butthis past year hasbeen difficult.Medical proffesionals have put their lives on hold when they werefighting COVID in the middle of the pandemic, while also working to ensuretherewas not another outbreak. And lately, the family physician hastaken on moremanagementchores than she’s ever seen. “Some of the joyhas been missing lately,”she said. “It’s been hard for the last six to 12 months,that’sfor sure. It is hard managing medical issues in 10- or 15-minute appointments.” Lee, who’s one of the direc tors at the Delta Division of Family Practice,said something hastogive in B.C.’sfamily healthcare.
Leehas practised family medicine for 29 years at Tsawwassen Medical Clinic and hasseen the system evolve into today’scrisis.

Even when her ownfamily physician retires in afew years, she maybejoining the million or so B.C.residents who can’t find adoctor. “The (current)payment schedule,itdoesn’t payusfor thetimeweneedtomanage complex care,”she said. Agrowing and an older population that is living longer, people showing up with sev eral health issues,morecomplex medical treatments,the after-effects of the pandemic, the unceasing demands of computer and paperwork are all piling, unpaid, onto family physicians. “We’re being asked to look after issues that weren’t there 20 to 30 years ago …(and) way moreforms than Iever thought was possible,” she adds.“That was never taughtinmedical school.” Herusual workday involves seeing or talking to about 30 patients,either in person or by phone.She wraps up consultation about 5p.m., which is usually followed by an hour or two of paper or computer work –orbetween five to eighthours aweek. According to B.C.Health Care Matters,B.C.doctors are the lowest paid in the country, with their counterparts in Alberta earning morethan double the median paid salary for B.C.doctors of $162,237. In B.C., doctors get an aver age of $31 for each patientvisit. That fee increases,however, for seniors, while doctors also getpaidannually for managing chronic issuessuch as diabe tes “Itdoesn’t payusfor the time we need to manage complex care,” Leesaid of B.C.’s system Leeadded there’shope for improvementfromthe negotiations nowongoing between doctorsand the province. “I think there’sa strong recognitionthathow primary care is managed …needs,to change,evolve.Ithink the governmentisverymuchaware of that.” saysDelta Division of Family Practicedirector

The Canadian Women’s Foundation and others note that approximately everysix days,a woman in Canada is killed by her intimatepartner
FILE PHOTO MukhtiarPanghali in 2011 wasfound guiltyofmurderinghis wife,ManjitPanghali, 31,and then burningher body to concealevidence of the crime.Hewas sentenced to life in prison withoutthe eligibility of parole for15years butwas given credit forthe four yearsheservedprior to the trial.
Pointing to the recentkillings of two women in Chilliwack and awoman in Abbotsfordasmore recentexamples,Kangh told the Optimist that Panghali’s release is areflection of ajusticesystem that is ill-equipped to appropriately respond to gender-based violence. “When you look at gender basedviolence, women are more targeted based on patriar chyinour society and that goes across all cultures.And what I think shook up the community, from the outset,even though theseweretwo professionals in thePanghali case,itbecame clear any women can be atarget of domestic homicide,nomat ter what class or culturecan fall victim to intimatepartner violence,” she said. Kang noted the heinous natureofthe crime,the husband’s denial and attempted cover-up and following attempts to plea bargain prompted then Attorney General Wally Oppal to intercede “Itforces us to look at the current justice system.It’sthe justice system,police,Crown,jails.Are these systems sufficienttodeal with these types of crimes? We’re not even talking about what hurdles the victims of domestic violence,gender-based violence, have to go through.The system isn’t equipped with gender-based crimes in away that fights for the victims,especially in domestic homicide.The average person can’t understand howthe person behind this kind of heinous crime is walking free,” Kang said. Kang also noted such crimes shouldn’t be simply seen as murder,but in adifferentlens similar to hatecrimes “If we don’t treatthese crimes of power and positionality dif ferently, what we’resaying, in my opinion, is women don’t have the righttobesafe in their homes,” she said. “Itwas not too long ago we hadlegislation to look at hatecrimes through aseparatelens.When it comes to gender-based crimes,everything from the continuum of assault all the waytodomestic homicide,sentencingneeds to be reviewed, believing survivors along the wayneeds to be looked at. Many survivors are not accessing the justice system because they don’t feel like they aregoing to be heardorthey will be out on trial themselves.”

That is what Ninu Kang, executive director of Ending Violence Association of BC,is asking in reaction to the recent Parole BoardofCanadadecision to grantsix months conditional dayparole for Mukhtiar Panghali, who was convicted in the 2006 killing of his pregnant wife,ManjitPanghali. The former Surrey teacher was found guilty of seconddegree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the eligibility of parole for 15 years for the strangling death of his wife.Her burned body was discovered along DeltaportWay in South Delta several days after she was reported missing. He appealed his conviction but lost,claiming that burning his wife’s body did not indicate that he meanttokill her.
Whywould victims of gender based violence feel safe to speak out or seek help if that ends up putting them at amuchhigher risk of being killed?

Apotential deal with the Ladner Minor Baseball Association (LMBA) that would see anew facility built at Cromie Park moved astep closer to reality this week. Council on Mondayvoted in favour of usingaproposed term sheetas a basis for the developmentofconstruc tionand lease agreements between Deltaand the LMBAfor the creation of an indoor training facility. The draft agreements still have to be broughtback to council for final approval. Council was told by staff “significant details”muststill be workedout,but sev eral on council also conveyed adesireto get the deal done as quickly as possible so that the baseball association can take advantage of aconstruction window. Coun. Dan Copeland was the lone councillor to vote in opposition, concerned about the city agreement. Council debated the concerns raised including the process,but Mayor George Harvie assured therewould be “a fair and transparentpolicy” that would enable other Delta-based groups to access the facility. Stressing Delta would still ownthe land, Coun. Bruce McDonald said the city hasother deals with community organizations to use public property. Coun. Lois Jackson said she wants to make surecouncil is doing its due diligence instead of delegating away its authority to staff Describing the deal as innovative, Coun. Dylan Kruger said the project is an incredible opportunity that will benefit local kids The new facility would be situated at the southern edge of the park, between the existingbaseball diamond and the currentall-weather field, which is intended to be convertedintoathird diamond in 2023. The projectscope includes a 10,175-square footfacility with a 9,000-square-foot turfsurface,six retractable batting cages,two interior washrooms,ameeting room and stor age area as well as landscaping of adjacentareas The facility would have multiple turfbased sportuses in addition to baseball, such as soccer and softball. The LMBAwould contribute $1.4 million for the construction. The association would also be responsible for interior maintenance. Delta’s costs would include $150,000 in servicing and utilities and almost $11,000 for the waiver of municipal per mit fees,including developmentapplication and building permit fees Delta would also see an estimated $30,000 in foregone rent annually as the facility would have anominal lease,while the city would spend up to $10,000 annually for the maintenance of the exterior of the facility. Under the 20-year deal, all buildings would be owned by Delta at the completion of construction. The lease would be comprised of one 10-year termand the renewal option of one additional 10-year term. As far as the facility’suse,the LMBA would be responsible for booking the facility foruse by other Delta-based sportand community groups The association would have the sole discretion to allocate and book the facility, while Delta would have access to any remaining hours that maybe available at no cost to the city.

SANDOR GYARMATI sgyarmati@delta-optimist .com Delta council on Mondayvoted in favour of granting avariance permit to allowfor another drug storeto open in the Tsawwassen Town Centrearea, despite several letters in opposition stating there areenough already. Pure Integrative Pharmacyisplanning to open astoreina commercial unit at the Tsawwassen Shopping Centre. Adevelopmentvariance permit was required because thereare cur rently other drug stores nearby. Adrugstorehad previously operated at the same location almost 20 years ago,while anotherhad operated next door until2020. Astaff reportnotes that within the city, thereare 16 licensed pharmacies and drug stores in North Delta,four each in Ladner and Tsawwassen and three on Annacis Island. The Pure Integrative Pharmacywould make it five in Tsawwassen. In MetroVancouver, only Surrey and Langley City have similar distanc ing requirements for phar macies and drug stores ElsewhereinMetro Vancouver, pharmacies and drug stores areconsidered standardretail uses wheremarketforces and consumer demand would determine the appropriate location of such businesses and ser vices within areas zoned for retail, the reportnotes Staff note that atotal of 1,395 letters weresent inviting the public to comment. Of the eightletters received and on council’s agenda,seven were opposed. Coun. Lois Jackson voted in opposition, saying the letters in opposition broughtforward “compelling arguments.” Coun. Dan Copeland also voted in opposition. However,Coun. Bruce McDonald said the city hadcome up with the variance requirementa decade ago when there was aproliferation of pharmacies on Scott Road in NorthDelta,but he doesn’t believe it’s council’s job to “pick and choose”who can runbet ter stores in agiven area Coun. Dylan Kruger agreed, saying it’s not council’s job to decide howmany retail stores of acertain type,including such businesses as coffee shops, should be allowed to operateina particular area that haszoning allowing the uses.

Apossible swatting call prompted aheavy response from Delta Police to the Beach Grove Motel on Wednesday night(Aug. 3) According to DPD,the departmentreceived a reportofa male with a firearmatthe motel. “Thereweresome indicators that the call was aswatting call (false call), however,our officers must respond with a high level of presence in the eventthe reportwas genuine,” said Staff/Sgt. James Sandberg. “Inthis instance,the first officers on scene wereable to determine the reportwas fictitious;however,asignificantamountofpolic ing resources did attend. The incidentisnow under investigation as a public mischief investigation focusedonthe initial caller.” Sandberg said swatting calls create increased risk for officers and the public. “Italso creates unnec essaryconcern for the surrounding community as othercitizens maynot understand the details of the event,”hesaid. “Swatting absorbs police resources making those officers involved unavailable for legitimatecalls for service.Itplaces unnecessarystress on the people who aresubject to the false report. Forthese reasons, the DPD takes the investigation into public mischief seriously. This too absorbs investigative resources as this investigation will be time consuming.” Sandberg said the par ties presentatthe motel, whileconfused, were cooperative with officers,lending to aspeedy and safe outcome for all involved.

Along with the hot August sun, the brightest lightwas the love that surrounded the bride and groom.Weddingsare whereyou get to marry your best friend with all your favourite people together,inone place,for one day. As Khalil Gibran wrote, “Marriage is like agolden ring in achain, whose beginning is aglance and whose ending is eternity.”
It takes avillage to put on awedding Mydaughtergot married last Saturday (Aug. 6) to the love of her life. The wedding was held on BoundaryBay beach across from Beach Grove in frontof85enthusiastic guests,some neighbours andafew birds. We drank, ateand danced under abig white tentinour frontyarduntil 1a.m Theday hadbeen a year in the planning, and therewas no professional weddingplanner,sowe hadtorely on the community for help My daughter’s first step was to askfor recommendations on the Tsawwassen and Ladner social media pages Who knows agood photographer,who knows agoodcaterer,who knows agood DJ? Sherequested names for ahair dresser,amakeup artist,and officiant. The list goes on. Recommendations came pouring in. Who needs Yelp or Google reviews when you have your neighbours who can attest to the talents of those nearby? The result,adelicious dinner by Adrian from Buenos Dias Cafe,fabulous hair and make-up by talented locals Amelia and Nikki. Tunes by DJ BigBlizz.
The beautiful flowers picked from the fields of River and SeaFlower farmonWestham Island and forged from local trails.Photos in the secret garden and the tall grass beside the 12th Avenue dike With so many out of town guests we filled theCoast Tsawwassen Hotel and the rooms were amazing. The hotel is even dogfriendly. My husband and Iwere in charge of choosing the wine and champagne Shout out to the staff at Save on Foods and the LCB who wereall knowledgeable and patient. I’msureIcould hear them muttering, “Here comes that crazy mother of the bride again buying morewine to sample.”

Theother tour we did wasthe Intrepid Air, Sea and Space Museum another must for any history buff,orspace enthusiast.Both tours werefull value for the money. Food and drink was plentiful throughout the trip with ahighlight spending an evening with some good softball buddies at agreat Italian joint just ablock away from our hotel. The week came to a close all too quickly on Aug. 2with anightmare travel dayatPearson in Toronto. The photos you have seen online about lost luggage –sadly are true.Isaw hundreds of bags just sitting in the baggage area with seemingly no final destination for any of them.Add to gatechanges, security and customs issues as well as two flightdelays and a16-hour dayoftravel, with athree-hour time change,broughtour trip to aclose Butdespite the nightmare ending dayoftravel, it was afantastic week made allthe morespecial that Igot to shareitwith my dad.

After the COVID-19 pandemic put the kibosh on aJanuarytrip to Mexico,Ihad an airline and hotel credit that Iwas itching to use. My dad, who did make it to Mexico along with some of my family, suggested in early April, that an August trip to New York City could be in the offering to make up for thelost Mexican excur sion. And so the planning and anticipation began. Finally, on July 26, the twoofuswereoff to NYC foraweek of baseball, Broadway, tours and great food and drink. We have been to New York before– three times in fact –with my last visit some 10 years ago,so Ihad forgotten what a unique andamazing city NewYorkis. After along dayof travel we finally touched down in the BigApple just after 6p.m Iwill note that WestJet didn’t lose our baggage (we both took carry-on) and we hadnoflight delays on ourtwo flights VancouvertoTorontoand TorontotoNew York Security and U.S. Customs werealso not anissue…well at least at the startofour vacation. More on that later Ourhotel was on 54th streetinthe Theatre District and was an ideal spot.Easy access to subwaystations,lots of restaurants to dine in and or get take-out,aswell as several markets to stock up on with drinks and snacks for the room Ihighly recommend doing alot of planning in advance of any trip to NewYorkCity. Thereis so much to see and do, trying to plan when you get therewill be next to impossible. Plus,by choosing our hotel where we did, it made it easier to get to thetwo theatres for our Broadwayshows, Times Squareand to the subways forour travels to the ball parks We took in four ball games –one between theMets and Yankees at Citi Field (home of the Mets) and three games at Yankee Stadium. My dad and Iare big Yankees fans,sothis trip certainly centered on alot of baseball. We hadbeen at Citi Field 10 years ago as well as Yankee Stadium,but the atmosphereand excitementatboth stadiums never seems to gets old. Since we have been to NYCanumber of times before, we hadalready done alot of the city tours, Statue of Liberty, etc. This time around, we did asplit guided and self-guided tour of the 911 Memorialand Museum aswell as the new obser vatory. This wasamoving dayofreflection for sure aided by the fact that we wereinNew York on our first trip in the late summer of 2000 –almost a year to the daybeforethe 9-1-1 terroristattacks Irecommend aguided tour of the memorial as you geta lot of insight that you otherwise would not get by just completing thetouronyour own.

With all the off-leash dog parks that we have around whyare we allowing off leash dogs to runwild on our public beaches? It’s the one area where everyone goes to relax and for many that means without shoes.When dogs areallowed to runfreeon the beachesmany areout of sightand reach of their owners and many of those owners tend to neglect the gifts their dogs leave on the beach for others to discover.AmI the only one that’s bothered by this reckless behaviour?

Editor: Re: Plastic bagban does little to helpthe planet (letters,Aug. 4) WhileI do agreethat we have amuchlarger problem on our hands than just plastic bags Ms.Marshall is correct that so many of the things we use in our daily lives areplastic based –Ialso believe that the plastic bag ban servesapurpose Theplastic bag ban is a startand aminor inconvenience.Ifyou don’t like paying for paper bags, then bring reusable ones. As forhaving to purchase plastic bags for your garbage,that’sjust nonsense.With the extensive recycling and composting policies in place in Delta, thereisn’t much garbage that apaper bag can’t handle.I’vebeen using mostlypaperbags for garbage for years. As forour continued reliance on oil-based materials,itreallyisup to us as consumers to demand moreenvironmentally friendly products,such as appliances that can be repaired rather than replaced, and morerecycling of components of largescale items such as cars Choose clothing made from renewable fibres that will last longer,food grownlocally and in season (doweabsolutely have to have tomatoesin Februaryinplastic clamshells shipped halfway across the continentor grownlocally in habitatdestroying and fuelburning greenhouses?), toilet paper made from recycled paper,takeout in compostable containers, electric lawn equipment rather than gas-powered; the list of things we can do is infinite Recognizethat our electedofficials develop policies after consultation and consideration –not on awhim.Why don’t we help them out by educating ourselves on what should and should not go into recycling bins and encouraging morelocal policies that help the earth? None of us is perfect, nor areweeven consistent. Butweall have to startsomewhere. DebraProbert

Editor: Arecentletter writer thinks the plastic bag ban is “ridiculous.” They justified that by stating all the plastic we use in other areas like packaging textiles etc. So,weshouldjust continue on this path I guess? Well, we do need to stop using so much plastic anditisastart. Canada uses approximately 15 billon plastic bags per year and less than 11 per centof all plastics arerecycled (according to environmentdefence.ca).
We have to startsomewhere
Iwould love to see disposable coffee/drink cups banned. Thereis no reason for anyone to use these.I’vehad a metal coffee cup/ther mos foryears Notsurehow old the letter writer is,but Iremember when all grocerystores used thickpaper bags.That’s what our family used for garbage bags,worked great. Also most products werenot in layers of plastic like they arenow. Ourfamily moved from Canada to Brussels, Belgium in 1972. We learned that all households therehad several net shopping bags and you took them to the store, no bags were given. Youcould also buy “frites”atakiosk in every neighbourhood, you broughtyour own pot or they wrapped them in newspaper. They wereway ahead of us evenback then. People need to realize all the over packaging and take out containers areharmful to us and the planet M. Cheney

1. We’reneighbours, sharingthe land and using the name of Tsawwassen to identify this township.How did we miss having acelebration in recognition of these,given it was National Indigenous Peoples Day?
2. The Mayor ostensiblyformed agroup called the “Mayor’s Task ForceonAnti-Racism, Inclusion and Diversity.” Other than Pride banners,does anyone know what else they’ve done?
8. If not,why not? What would help?
Editor: Re: Plastic bagban does little to help the planet (Optimist,letters, Aug. 4) It is certainly true that eliminating plasticbags will not save ourplanet. However it is equally true that everysmall action that reduces waste and prevents plastic from polluting our oceans and landfills is apositive one. The new federal regulations actually say: “The Regulations prohibit the manufacture, import, sale and eventually exportofsix categories of single-use plastic(SUP) items. The categoriesof items arecheckout bags, cutlery, foodserviceware made from or containing problematic plastics,ring carriers,stir sticks and straws.” This goes far beyond just plasticbags. It is not ahardship to bring a cloth bag to the grocery store. On awiderscale, it is not ahardshipto use our cars alittle less It is not ahardshipto compost our waste to be used in gardens to grow natural food. It is not a hardship to adjust our choices to make them more harmonious to our struggling oceansand polluted atmosphere. All these small choic es,are not the answer either.However to not make them because they arenot the sole answer, is clearly just an abdication of our responsibility to the planet and its future. Graeme Swan Adjusting choices is an easy answer

Although the Canadian government says itsCOVID tests at the border arerandom, some residents of Point Roberts arefeeling picked on. Partly as aresult,visitsbyCanadians have dropped, and with it,the economy, says the local chamber of commerce Bill Calder grew up in PointRoberts but now lives in Tsawwassen. The pandemic hasreduced the number of times he’s crossed the border.Inthe past three months,he’s visited four times and hasbeen issued arandom COVID test twice. The Public Health AgencyofCanada announced that random COVID tests at airports would resume as of July 19, after about afour week break, butrandom tests at land borders have continued as usual. “I just don’t wantto go through it again. It’s ridiculous,” said Calder Hiscousin Brian Calder is presidentofthe PointRoberts Chamber of Commerce and says COVID restrictions continue to hurt the tiny community of 800 or so people. Forinstance,before COVID,about 900 boats weredocked at the mari na.Now,thereare 300. He’shearing complaints about the number of people receiving random COVID test requirements when they cross over into Canada,estimating that 30 per cent of residents have hadto take atest whencrossing the border “That’s my best guess. They won’t give us the numbers,” he said last week “It’stotally disturbing our economyina negative way.” He saidthat 90 per cent of the community hasbeenvaccinated, while he hasn’t heardof aCOVID case. “Sowhat good is it doing?”à Calder added that if thetests were needed from ascientific pointof view, he’d supportit. He wants the governmentto showhow many people have been spared contracting COVID thanks to someone being randomly tested. Onevisitor from Vancouver, who hasa cabininPointRoberts, said that she and her husband, in their 70s, have visited four times in Mayand June On the second visit, herhusband was issued arandom COVID test when he came back into Canada. On the fourth visit, she was issued arandom COVID test The couple only stayed the nightbeforeheading back. And each COVID test request meantthey hadtogotoapharmacy in Vancouver, get anasal swab,and ensurethe pharmacy sentitintothe lab.Both tests werenegative “That’s notrandom. That’s wayhigher per centage than there should be for the border It’s like they weredoing a blitz on PointRoberts “It’sgoing to kill Point Roberts,” she said. Shesaysthe number of people being tested is disproportionatetothe size of the community. However,according to the Public Health Agency of Canada,acomputer algorithm “randomly selects apre-determined number of eligible trav ellers per day,”ateach crossing. That could mean more than one person in agroup could be selectedfor random testing. The target is 4,600 trav ellers each day, including 3,800 at airports and 800 at land borders,said TammyJarbeau, senior media relations adviser The sample size was chosen to ensure that “representative,reliable and robust estimates of COVID-19 test positiv ity,”are produced at the border Neither border officers nor the public health agencyhaveany role in the selection of travellers for random testing, she said. Positive samples are senttopublic health laboratories for whole genome sequencing –the laboratorytest used to identify COVID-19 variants of concern, Jarbeau said. Virtual testing is possiblebut thegovernment says that in-person testing is the fastest and most convenient.

The Crime Severity Index (CSI) increased slightly in Delta but the city of continues to be averysafe community. That’s according to Police Chief Neil Dubordfollowing the release of the latest overall CSIfigures from Statistics Canada The CSIoutlines the amount of crime and severity of crimes reported in the countryin2021, as well as breaking the numbers down by province and individual municipalities. Amethod to comparecrime consistently across jurisdictions, alow CSIrateisindicative of a relatively safe community. Index scores arecompared to abaseline of 100, which is calculatedusing historical data In 2021, the CSIwas at 57.62, an increase of 1.05 per centfrom 2020. Delta’s 2020CSI wasdownby almost 12 per centincomparison to 2019. While the CSIinDelta increased slightly in 2021, the City of Delta maintained the majority of its decrease it experienced in the previous year and continues to be avery safe community, Dubordsaid in a news release Overall, Delta ranked thirdfor the Greater Vancouver/Lower Mainland area municipal police jurisdictions for the lowest CSI score. Delta’s CSIisbelow the provincialCSI average of 92.6 and the national CSIaverage of 73.7. Dubordsaid he is proud of the DPD’s incredibly dedicated and passionateteam. “Our team works 24/7 to ensure that our community is one of the safest to live,play, visit and workin BC,with aCSI that is lower than the provincial average.Iamfortunate to have the frontrow seattowitness the commitmentand dedication of our team.I knowthat our team members attend everycall and carry out everyinvestigation with thepurpose to ensurecommunity safety and well-being in accordance with our Community Safety and Well-Being Plan; it is because of their ongoing efforts that we were able to maintain alow CSI,”hesaid. Statistics Canada notes that police-reported crime in the country, as measured by the CSI, remained stable,changing from 73.9 in 2020 to 73.7 in 2021. This follows aseven per cent drop in the CSIin2020, the first after five years of increases.The stability in the overall CSIwas the result of increases in violentcrime and continued decreases in nonviolentcrime Taking alook at the Statistics Canada numbers for Delta,the ViolentCSI wasupin2021compared to the previous year. After being 24.7 and 33.08 in 2017 and 2018 respectively, it jumped to 60.7 in 2019, and then fell to 46.21 in 2020. In 2021,itwas 50.12, up 8.46 per centfromthe previous year. According to Statistics Canada, the ViolentCSI in thecountryrose five percentin2021, and was also higher than in 2019, prior to the pandemic The increase in Canada overall was primarily driven by arelatively large rise in the rate of level 1 sexual assault (18 per centhigher). Various other violentcrimes also increased in volume in 2021, however they hadamoremarginal impact on the CSI. Delta’s non-violentCSI in 2021, meanwhile,was 60.18, down just under one per centfrom2020. Statistics Canada notes that the non-violentCSI in the country overall, which includes,for example,property offences and drug offences,declined three per cent in 2021,after anine per centdrop in 2020.

Delta councilrecently voted in favour of a recommendation for another membership increase for the city to be part of theFraser Valley Regional Library(FVRL). Delta’sportion of the librarysystem’s proposed 2023 budget will increase by 3.21 per cent, representing an increase of $131,087. That brings the total cost for Delta next year to $4,214, 807. The provision for the increased costs will be included in Delta’s2023 FinancialPlan. TheFVRL systemser vicesmorethan700,000 people through 25 community libraries,including branches in Ladner, Tsawwassen and North Delta Alevyischarged to each member municipality to cover the operat ing costs of the library branches and the central administration service costs provided by the FVRL Astaff reporttocouncil notes FVRL hasimplemented an accelerated budget for 2023 in order to complete the process in advance of the October 2022 municipal elections The most significant impact of the accelerated process is that the funding formula,which is used to calculate unique memberassessment increases,issuspended for2023. Instead, the same percentage rate increase will be applied to all members equally. Council was told there would not be much dif ference either wayfrom the latest rate increase It’s been asteady increase forDelta to be amember of the library system Back in 2018, for example,council voted in favour of Delta’s mem bership assessment in theFVRL goingup3.34 per cent, which worked out to an extra$123,645, bringing the city’stotal annual membership charge at the time to just over $3.8 million. In 2013,council approved arevised fundingformula that slightly loweredannual increases Delta’s shareatthat time increased to $3.19 million.

Deal with shame
A16 The Delta Optimist August11,2022 100YEARS
Oneofthe most destructive forces on this earth is shame,because it attacksour spiritualand emotional life. Unlike guilt,shame can come from actions that aren’t even wrong. Over things like our body or our family or the car we drive.Shame is an instinctual and physical experience that can manifest itself in depression and anxiety. Shame is differentfrom guilt in that whereguilt is connectedwith our actions,shame is connected to our identity. As Christians,weare taught howtodeal with guilt but hardly ever taughthow to deal with shame Like King David cried out,“Oh God, in you I trust;let me not be put to shame; let not my ene mies exult over me.” In the Psalms David cries out not because he hadsinned against God or done any wrong to the kingdom,but because of the shame of being a manfalselyaccused by Saul. So howcan we deal with the weightof shame? As Christians most of us knowhow to deal with sin: we come to Godand ask for forgiveness on accountofJesus’ death on the cross. Butwhat about shame? Howdowedeal with Shame? By looking backward andforward. We look backward to thecross whereJesus endured our shame.Heendured moreshame than we could ever imagine for the purpose of bringing us into God’sfamily, as loved, adopted, and holy children. And we look forwardtothe daywhen we will be welcomed,not begrudgingly, not shamefully, but joyfully and warmly by ourSavior.It is only through the reality of our identity in Christ in what he hasaccomplishedand what we know he will accomplish on that final daythat shame can be washed away.I am no longer a slavetoshame It is only in the truth of our identity in the one who endured shame that we can overcome the lies aboutour identity that shame speaks to us.You areachild of God. You areloved, washed, for given and shame hasno hold on you. Only the cross can breakthe power of shame.Makethat break today.

DANI PENALOZA Contributing Writer Producer Alex Sangha, who is based in North Delta, says he couldn’t have been more delighted to have his 2021 featurefilm documentary Emergence: Outofthe Shadows selected to screen at the Vancouver Queer Film Festival (VQFF).
The feature documentaryisdriven by emotional, intimateinter views and is intended to be accessible and understood by everyone, regardless of howknowledgeable about the queer community you are. “Ittook me many years to accept myself as agay person, so Ican’t expect my parents or my community to understand me rightaway. We have to listen, talk and work together to bring people to the table,tosupport each other.Myapproach is one of collaboration and cooperation, as opposedtoshamingand blaming,”saysSangha
The Sher Films documentaryfollows the stories of Kayden Bhangu, JagNagra andSangha, himself,all of whom aretied to the nonprofit charity for LGBTQ+ South Asians and their friends and families,Sher Vancouver. “When Alex asked me if Iwould be in Emergence, [mywife andI]had our daughter then, and having kids kind of changed my outlook –Iwas less afraid of what people thought,”saysNagra, highlighting howshe wanted to normalize having two momstoher kids “Beforethat, Iwas oftenveryafraid what our extended family and relatives would sayto my parents.Ididn’t care what they thought, but I didn’twantmyparents to have ahardtime.But my parents have been amazing, and they’repartof the film,” she says. Announced mid-July, VQFF will be screening Emergence at the York Theatreat7 p.m. on Aug. 19, as well as virtually throughout the 11 days of the festival from Aug. 11-21 Therewill also be a 20-minuteQ&A with director VinayGiridhar, Alex Sanghaand cast Jag Nagra, Harv Nagra, Avtar Singh Nagraand Rajwant Kaur Nagra.

It hadtobethe most anticlimatic season in the long historyofthe West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association (WCSLA), yetitwas required to get the Ladner Pioneers wherethey wanttobeinthree weeks... another crack at winning a national championship. The Pioneers areheaded back to the President’sCup for the fourth consecutive time after steamrolling through the 2022 WCSLAcampaign with 19 consecutive wins thanks to a line-up that is loaded with pro talent. Saturday’sclinching 11-3 winatSungod Arenaagainst the NorthShoreIndians was playedinrunning time to soft en the final outcome “Wewerebuilt to winthe President’sCup,not to win this league,” said Ladner head coach Ross Frehlick. “We’re happyweare going. We just wish it was next week.”

ForSchuss,the President’s Cupmeans much morethan potentially another accomplishmenttoadd to his lengthy lacrosse resumé. The 31-year-old Vancouver Warriors standout grew up with the Pioneers organization, watchinghis dadEdand uncle John be prominentmembers of the team for decades He also gets to tryand wina championship playing alongside hislifelongfriends,including team captain and fellow Ladner native Ryan Keith. “For as long as Ican remember Ihavebeen partofthe Pioneer family. Guys like Rob Cook and TimWinterwere telling me Iused to be carried around as ababyina goalie stick,”smiled Schuss.“This is special because Ialso get to sharethis with my dad as he is nowhelping out with the team “I wasa ball boyonthose teams (in 1998 and 2004) when we won it and nowIdefinitely wanttoput my name on it as a player.”

The relief of getting the WCSLAand provincial titles out of the way, means the Pioneers will actually get their best preparation for nationals on the practice floor “Weknowweare going to have to practice hard andour defence against our offence is the hardest these guys are goingtosee all season,”added Frehlick. “The best as we can, we have to staymotivatedand be ready to go.”
NextstopPresident’sCupforPioneers
Instead, the Pioneers will have about ahalf of dozen practices at Sungod Arena during the next three weeks to preparefor the ultimategrind it takes to bring the President’s Cuptrophyback to B.C.for the first timein18years. Notonly does it requirewinning as many as eightgames over acondensed schedule, it will be against anumber of opponentsthat also feature plenty of National Lacrosse League (NLL) talent. That’s what the Pioneers discovered back in 2019 when two or three NLL additions to their line-up resulted in asix-place finish This time,they will head to Leduc, Alta with significantly moredepth including LoganSchuss,TylerPace, Jeff Cornwall, Matt Beers and goalieEricPenney. NLLplayoff champion Eli McLaughlin is also expectedtobereadytogo. “It’sa lot better competition. We knowweare going to be facing some really good teams,” said Ontario native Ryan Benesch,one of the NLL all-time leading scorers who also playedfor Ladner in 2019 and was among thetop tour namentscorers.“Obviously, we have alot of proguys on this team and everybody kind of knows what to expect and what we have to do to get ready for it.”
