Dave Lemire is heading back to the stairs at Fred Gingell Park in Tsawwassen for another round of climbing. He plans on going for four hours straight during his Climb for Kids fundraiser this Saturday. Lemire was able to raise approximately $11,000 last year for B.C. Children’s Hospital, making 41 trips up and down the stairs, which have been described as Tsawwassen’s version of the Grouse Grind. “I just have a good feeling when I do it. It’s simple as that,” he said. Lemire, who’s been busy training in preparation for his upcoming challenge, said he’ll be climbing with the same three people in his heart: his niece’s son Noah Stephenson (who has undergone cochlear implant surgeries) along with Myles McHattie and Johnny Racich. Lemire, the produce manager at the Tsawwassen Save-OnFoods, became friends with Racich, a young kid who would visit with him while his mom would do her grocery shopping. Racich, who had a condition called Apert’s syndrome, passed away when he was 16. Lemire eventually became good pals with McHattie, who gave a eulogy at Johnny’s funeral. McHattie has cerebral palsy. Gerry Racich, Johnny’s mom, said her son and Lemire had a great friendship. “What was cool about Dave was Dave never saw the disability. He just saw a funny kid and

Dave Lemire will be climbing the stairs at Fred Gingell Park for four hours straight this Saturday in his Climb for Kids fundraiser to benefit B.C. Children’s Hospital. Johnny loved that about him,” she said, adding it was Johnny’s dream to work with Lemire. “Dave stepped up and created this event. Everyone can get behind it. Everyone can feel good about it,” she said. Johnny’s dad John trained

with Lemire last year in preparation for his first fundraiser. He said it means a lot to them that Lemire is willing to take on the event. Lemire said his wife Lori and Save-On co-worker Peggy Coonfer have been very sup-

portive. Lemire will be climbing from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Fred Gingell Park, 265 English Bluff Rd. There will be food and music. Donations will be accepted at the event as well as online at http://bit.ly/1MTQ0lm.

Honoured for a lifetime of giving back JESSICA KERR

j ke r r @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Giving back to his community is just a way of life for Rev. Jim Short. “I learned that from my father and grandfather,” he said. “You contribute to the commonwealth of the community.” Short was named Citizen of the Year at the Delta Chamber of Commerce’s annual Hats Off to Excellence gala last Friday night. The award was a tie this year with Jim Stimson also honoured. “My first reaction was, I was surprised actually,” he said, adding he never expected to be nominated, let alone win the award.

“I was very pleased to win with Jim,” Short said, adding he respects Stimson’s work in the community. Ordained in 1982, he served at churches in Newfoundland, Toronto and on Vancouver Island before coming to Ladner. He arrived at Ladner United Church in 2001 and has tried to remain involved in the community ever since. He has done advocacy work for mental health, worked with the Ladner Business Association and Delta Hospital Auxiliary Thrift Store, and led the renovation of the church with the aim of creating a space to be shared with the com-

munity. A military chaplain with the Canadian Army Reserve for 25 years, Short has helped train, screen and counsel Canadian soldiers getting ready to deploy into a war zone. He also helps returning soldiers acclimatize back into day-to-day life at home and has delivered the devastating news to families who have lost a loved one serving overseas. In 2008, Short was granted a leave from Ladner United Church. He was one of the thousands of Canadian Forces members deployed to Afghanistan and spent eight months on the front lines of the conflict.

Big changes come from a Little House JESSICA KERR

j ke r r @ d e l t a - o p t i m s t .c o m

Jim Stimson sees his Citizen of the Year award more as a reflection of the work of the Little House Society as a whole rather than a personal accomplishment. Stimson was honoured last Friday night at the annual Delta Chamber of Commerce Hats Off to Excellence gala along with fellow recipient Rev. Jim Short. “I was surprised to be nominated,” Stimson said. He was first nominated for the award back in 2011, but lost to Carlene Lewall. “It’s always an honour and it’s always humbling

when we get nominated and shortlisted,” Stimson said. “I think it’s such a huge vote of appreciation from the community.” Stimson has spent the last 40 years helping individuals, communities, employers and unions deal with substance abuse and addiction. For the past 10 years, he has volunteered with the Little House Society, a community non-profit group dedicated to promoting and advancing education related to substance use, abuse, addiction and recovery. He oversaw building of the Little House in Tsawwassen after fire destroyed the original

building. Ground broke on the project almost five years ago and today the house hosts a variety of recovery groups. The board of directors is moving on its next phase, which will include various community education programs around substance use and addiction. Since Boxing Day 2014, Stimson has done 67 interventions — almost all in South Delta and all but three were free of charge. Those three were performed for corporate clients, Stimson said. “I don’t charge people to help their families,” he said. “That’s just me. That’s how I operate. I believe in karma.”

TFN legislature resumes with busy calendar

LNG proposal tops fall agenda 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

There’s a lot on its plate as the Tsawwassen First Nation begins its fall legislative session. Following an opening ceremony last Tuesday, the TFN’s legislative assembly got down to business to talk about such issues as elected officials having dual roles and a major housing initiative. Sheila Williams said she was looking forward to consensus-based decisions on some difficult

issues they need to discuss. “I’m hopeful that we’ll place principles before personalities,” Williams said. Nicki Jacobs said members of the legislature have come a long way and are ready to debate issues that need to be fixed. “Our first year there was a lot of us that were scared to talk about these things,” Jacobs said. “We’ve moved a long way from there and now (we’re) willing to talk about these as difficult as they are… They’re not

fundamental teachings with government. The TFN legislature honours other traditions, including those wishing to speak needing to hold a “talking feather.” There are normally two sessions of the TFN legislature each year: spring and fall. Each session lasts approximately two months. The agenda in the coming weeks includes consultation with members regarding the proposed LNG project with FortisBC. Part of the pitch to members when it comes to benefits of the LNG facility include education

and training programs to ensure TFN members are given first opportunity to fill positions at the facility and preferential position for qualified TFN member businesses to deliver services there. Members will vote on the LNG proposal on Dec. 16. Poised to be a major economic power in the Metro Vancouver region, the TFN has been making other news the past couple of years with several major development initiatives, including a massive mall complex that will open next fall.

Pedestrian overpass sought for 17&52nd SANDOR GYARMATI

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

Delta continues to push the province to construct a highway overpass in Tsawwassen. Mayor Lois Jackson and CAO George Harvie recently travelled to Victoria to meet with Minister of Transportation and Infrastructure Todd Stone to express their concerns about increased traffic that will result from the new Tsawwassen First Nation mall complex set to open next year. They asked for a pedestrian and cyclist overpass to be built at the intersection of Highway 17 and 52nd Street. Providing the minister a video presentation, which can been seen on the Corporation of Delta’s website, they said they listened to community concerns about the development and reviewed the impacts of the current Highway 17 widening project. According to a municipal news release, Stone acknowledged Delta’s con-

cerns and has directed his staff to review safety needs at the intersection. A Delta staff report earlier this year noted that in 2012 a letter was sent to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and the TFN requesting the inclusion of a pedestrian overpass in the plans. “The current widening design will significantly increase the distance pedestrians and cyclists must travel through in order to cross Highway 17 at 52nd Street,” the report states. “At existing crossings of this size, such as Highway 17 and Ladner Trunk Road, the province has provided overpasses for pedestrians and cyclists.” The report states the opening of the malls will result in additional pedestrians and cyclists in the area and will also significantly increase the vehicular traffic in an already busy corridor. The highway widening project now underway includes various road and intersection upgrades.

Broadcaster says it won’t appeal court ruling Radio station tells FCC it will continue using Ferndale towers, but coalition not ready to celebrate SANDOR GYARMATI

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

It’s looking like another victory for Point Roberts and Tsawwassen residents in their battle against the installation of radio transmission towers, but paying the huge legal bill is another matter. Last month, a Skagit County Superior Court judge dismissed an appeal by BBC Broadcasting Inc. to overturn an earlier decision by Whatcom County to reject the company’s application to erect five 45-metre (150-foot) steel towers at an undeveloped lot on McKenzie Way, about 330 metres from the Tsawwassen border. It had been rejected because the towers exceeded height limits. A document recently submitted to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission on behalf of the company, including a declaration signed by president Bhag S. Khela, indicates an appeal would not be filed and that the company is seeking renewal of its license to continue broadcasting from Ferndale. “KRPI continues to broadcast from its licensed facility in Ferndale, Washington and, for the reasons set forth in its previous submissions, request prompt renewal of its broadcast license and dismissal of all petitions to deny and informal objections to its pending license renewal application,” the document states. Members of the Cross Border Coalition to Stop the Towers were elated at the superior court win, but are not prepared to celebrate as the broadcaster has until Nov. 30 to file an appeal of the most recent decision. Even if the fight is over, the coalition, according to one member, still faces big legal fees and hopes for continued community support. She noted it is hoping to raise another $15,000 U.S. Another coalition member told the Optimist last week they didn’t know what a long and costly battle it would turn out to be to defend the community against the towers. Hoping to overturn the rejection, BBC Broadcasting Inc. had filed a LUPA (Land Use Petition Act) appeal in Skagit County, wanting a direct judicial review of the

Officers recognized for work to stop rollovers

Two Delta police officers have received provincial recognition for their contributions to traffic safety in Delta. The officers, constables John Merryman and Mike Whiteley, were awarded by the B.C. Municipal Police Chiefs for their work investigating a rash of truck rollovers on South Fraser Perimeter Road at the Highway 91 connector. In August 2014, after officers responded to five separate rollovers at the same location over a short period of time, Merryman and Whiteley were tasked with leading an initiative to investigate and identify

potential causes of the rollovers. The two officers conducted in-depth investigations of each crash and identified several contributing factors, with speed and road design being the most prevalent. The officers met with various stakeholders, including the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Delta’s engineering department and the Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement Branch, to discuss the findings and propose preventative measures to help reduce, or eliminate, rollovers in

the future. Since changes were made last year, there have been no rollovers, injuries or fatalities in that location and no major disruptions to commuter traffic as a result. “This is another example of our officers’ commitment to public safety,” said Delta police Chief Neil Dubord, who was on hand to present the award. “Constable Merryman and Constable Whiteley were not satisfied with simply investigating each collision separately. They identified root causes and made positive change happen.”

Three arrested after teen stabbed in ND

Three teens are in custody while another is in hospital in critical condition after a stabbing in North Delta over the weekend. Delta police received reports of an altercation behind Burnsview Secondary, which is in the 7600-block of 112th Street, just after 11 p.m. Saturday. Upon arrival, officers

found an 18-year-old man suffering from multiple stab wounds. He was taken to hospital in critical condition. Officers arrested three male suspects, all under the age of 18, who were trying to flee the area. All three remain in police custody. They are facing charges of aggravated assault. Due to their ages,

their names are not being released. “The victim and the suspects are known to each other and this appears to be an isolated incident — a fight between teenagers that unfortunately escalated to this extreme level,” said A/Sgt. Sarah Swallow. The victim remains in hospital in critical but stable condition.

Petition calls for park for small dogs only

November 25, 2015 The Delta Optimist A7

Dog owner hoping Delta follows Surrey’s lead JESSICA KERR

j ke r r @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

One local woman has started a campaign in the hopes of getting a new dog park in Delta — specifically for small dogs. Tsawwassen resident Christine Rego says regular dog parks are just not suited to small dogs. “It can be dangerous because most parks are never fenced and usually very close to streets,” she said, adding that most small dogs love to bolt and can be hard to catch. Small dogs are in danger of being hurt by larger dogs, Rego said, even when they are just playing. As well, she said, many small dogs will bark incessantly out of fear when around larger dogs. Last year, Rego, who has a one-year-old Havanese, heard about a small dog park in Cloverdale — Clayton Heights Small Dog Park. It’s part of a larger park that includes separate areas for small and large

Tsawwassen’s Christine Rego says regular dog parks are not suited to smaller dogs. canines. She went once and was blown away. She returned with her dog Leo six times in two weeks. The fenced-in space includes a water pump and dish. “The first time I went there I was like, I need to get one of these [in Delta],” she said. Delta currently has 12 off-leash dog parks throughout the community, however, none are

specifically tailored for smaller canines. Rego has started a petition that she plans to submit to Delta asking for a small dog park. In Tsawwassen, the petition is at Star Groomers, Studio One Dog Groomers, Huff Animal Hospital, Bosleys and Pets N Us. In Ladner, it’s at Pets N Us, Bosleys, Budget Foods, Fiko’s Barber Shop and 48th Avenue Animal Hospital.

t won’t be long now before the average Tsawwassen home tops the $1 million mark. With the benchmark price hitting a whopping $954,000 last month, it will now take only a modest five per cent increase to reach seven figures, and given prices are up more than 26 per cent in the last year alone, that should happen soon enough. This comes as great news for those who are watching their equity grow at an astounding rate, but it’s also beginning to re-shape the community. Ladner, which had a benchmark price of almost $800,000 last month, is not far behind. Many of the people that bought here 10 or 20 or 30 years ago, the folks that are woven into the social fabric, couldn’t afford to do it all again at today’s prices. They got in, but the next generation, including their children, might not be so fortunate. I realize there’s an inevitability to rising real estate prices, particularly when you live in one of the most desirable places on the planet. I also understand that areas change over time, that a quiet farming/fishing village and a weekend retreat can, thanks to a river crossing, morph into family-friendly suburbs. And those suburbs can, in turn, become places only for the affluent, where you require either significant equity or a hefty paycheque in order to call them home. There aren’t too many young families that can carry the mortgage on a million-dollar home or anything close to it. Increasing density could make accommodation more affordable, but it alters the look and feel of neighbourhoods. Maintaining the existing housing stock will, at those kinds of prices, surely change the demographics. I’m not sure there’s an easy answer. I’m also not sure there’s a whole lot we can do as the evolution of a community is a process driven by a multitude of forces, the majority of which are well beyond our control. It’s clear that prices aren’t only rising here, although our situation might be more acute due to proximity to the city and pending improvements in amenities and accessibility. As Bob Dylan sang more than half a century ago, the times they are a changin’. Those changes won’t be as dramatic around here as they were back then, but they’ll be profound nonetheless.

Don’t forget about the teens when it comes to Christmas

long time ago (make that a long, long time ago), I was a teenager. Looking back, it was a great time in my life — all I had to worry about was going to school, working in my part-time job and hanging around with my friends. It’s amazing how time has a way of filtering out things you don’t want to remember. Being a teenager is tough. And being one in today’s environment of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and video games, it seems that life is truly 24 hours a day. Can’t sleep? Maybe one of my friends can’t either, I’ll send a text. If they are awake, have a quiet conversation. Did you hang out with friends on Saturday? Here’s a picture — it’s attached. When the conversation ends, flip over to Netflix and watch a movie or a show. All without getting out of bed. Contrast that with what life was like when I was a teenager. Can’t sleep? Well, I sure didn’t pick up the phone and call anyone, so there’s no conversation happening. If you want to see a picture of the gang, you’ll have to wait until I finish the roll of film and get it processed. Watch a movie? Only what’s on the few TV channels available, but it’s a bit noisy and I’ll wake everyone else up. Maybe

crank up the VCR if I have a decent tape. Go on the computer? What’s a computer? Kids have so much on the go, so many distractions, so many ways to connect with each other and so many ways for the social pressures to come out. But one thing never changes — feeling like you are different. That is a feeling that every teenager goes through, only today it’s more pronounced. Word spreads a lot faster than it used to. Now throw in the holidays. Your friends are talking about the vacation they are going on or the cool new thing they got for Christmas. For some kids, there isn’t going to be a vacation. There probably won’t be a cool new thing. There might not even be a holiday dinner for the family.

The response is overwhelming, and you see it on the faces of those who wouldn’t have anything for their kids if not for this event. One challenge, however, is teenagers. It’s easy to go to the local toy stores, pick something out and send it along. It’s harder to find something a teenager would like, so not as much shows up. Not to mention the fact that, when the kids get older, the gifts become a lot smaller, and a lot more expensive. But for these kids, a gift means just as much, as it does for the younger kids. Please don’t forget the teenagers for this year’s Toy Depot. If you don’t know what to buy, consider a cash donation to Deltassist — they know what to get. Plus, you’ll get a tax receipt. And you’ll make a teenager feel a little less different, even if for just a day. Brad Sherwin, MBA has over 25 years’ experience in marketing, public relations and business strategy. He is currently the volunteer president of the board of Deltassist.

Letters Only good things to say about ER

Editor: Hospitals get a lot of criticism for long waits and poor service. I just wanted to share my positive experiences at Delta Hospital in Ladner. Over the last couple of years I have needed some emergency help, a couple of times during the day but once in the middle of the night. Every time I arrived I was greeted by a volunteer at the front desk and

quickly helped through the admitting process. I have never had more than a 10- or 15-minute wait to get in to the emergency. Once inside, the nurses and doctors take over and though they are busy, they take excellent care of everyone there. The last time I needed the emergency I was quite sick with stomach problems. I was there all day

while they did numerous blood and other tests, a physical exam and finally a CT scan. The doctors kept me informed about the tests and what they were looking for. By the end of the day, they had diagnosed my problem and started me on an IV with my treatment program. Thank you very much to the staff and volunteers at Delta Hospital. Larry Oberst

Best to look after those who are already here

Editor: Homeless man dies because of lack of housing, thousands of children going to school hungry, people sleeping on the streets, soldiers being kicked out of their barracks and told to seek their own accommodations, patients in chronic pain waiting until 2017 for an MRI.

These are Canadians and they are being ignored as we are bringing in 25,000 Syrian refugees and they will have to take priority. Our education and health care situation cannot support the people in need here. Whatever happened to charity begins at home? The federal and provincial governments toss the

financial picture back and forth but the bottom line is its our tax dollars funding this either way. The United States is balking at the proposal to bring in 10,000 and we are getting 25,000. There is something very wrong with this picture and no doubt Canadians will live to regret it. H. Wallace

Cabinet addresses woeful international ranking

Editor: Re: New prime minister names affirmative action cabinet, letter to the editor, Nov. 18 The writer assumes there were better male candidates, or non-diverse candidates, for the prime minister to choose. The only affirmative action I see is in the last 148 years of Canadian

Parliament, which gave white males the overwhelming majority of seats. The tone was set in 1921 when members of Parliament proceeded to walk out of the chamber every time Agnes Macphail, the first woman elected to the House of Commons, stood to engage in debate. Clearly, political cor-

56th Street overpass is needed

Editor: Re: Hard to know if we’re ready for traffic malls will bring, Community Comment, Nov. 20 I share Ian Robertson’s jitters about the changes the new malls will bring to our travels. I think an overpass should have been built to take 56th Street to Arthur Drive. But I don’t think he’s right about the surge of traffic from 8,500 cars leaving the mall. It seems to me that people leave malls on their own and not like the unloading of 20 ferries. Eric Keenleyside

rectness prevailed here, in the way Macphail’s colleagues strove to demonstrate support for the patriarchy. Now, almost 150 years later, Canada might stand a chance of improving on its ranking internationally of 50th for percentage of women in a lower or single house. P. Joly de Lotbinière

Spending priorities

Editor: Re: Council approves hiring a social planner in 4-3 vote, Nov. 11 I see Mayor Lois Jackson was reluctant to hire a social planner for Delta. Would she be as frugal with the Delta police budget, the one that has doubled to $34 million in the last 10 years? Jerry Cutler

Letters

Ladner Legion is an integral part of community

Editor: Re: Ceremony security detail over the top, letter to the editor, Nov. 20 Free speech — a commodity we cherish in Canada. It’s something we can thank our vets for, and something we can thank mediums like the Optimist and Facebook for because they provide an open public forum for us to voice our opinions. Unfortunately, it also allows people to say things

that may be ignorant and hurtful. G. Campbell’s letter has caused me to write this letter. I hope he/she will take some time to consider what was written. As a Ladner resident since 1980 and a member of the Ladner Legion, I have been to our Remembrance Day ceremony often and appreciate being able to do so. This year I only noticed one member of the SWAT team. I’m sure

there were many more as stated and I imagine they are there for all our safety. My guess is they are on hand at other ceremonies outside Delta as well. I would like to point out that the “so called security detail” referred to by Campbell are great contributors to our community. They have spent hundreds, if not thousands, of hours volunteering for our local Legion over the years. They weren’t

security. Their job was to manage traffic barricades. Anyone who has ever been asked to do this task can speak of the challenges that go with it. Many have opinions of how the fallen soldiers should be honoured. I like it to be a rainy day because the noise of kids playing isn’t louder than the narrator, but I also like to see so many people out which is more likely to happen on a beautiful day like we

had this year. The Ladner Legion and its membership plan and present the annual Remembrance Day ceremony, which saw about 5,000 people in attendance this year. They come not only from our small community of Ladner but also surrounding areas. I met veterans who came from Port Moody, New Westminster and the Valley this year. Reading Campbell’s letter, I take offence to comments that seem to be solely based on the physical appearance of the people manning the barricades. It judges these people, not for who they are, but for how they dress or what they look like. We see this happening far too often lately. The Ladner Legion is an integral part of our community and gives back to Ladner in so many ways. It’s most likely Campbell

and son have already benefited from the Legion’s support and generosity to Delta Hospital, community sports and organizations, and our vets. Campbell’s letter has been both hurtful and offensive to many who work so hard to give back. To Campbell, I would like to ask: Why are you so comfortable calling people you have never met “degenerates” and “louts” in a public forum? Remembrance Day is about remembering our vets, who fought, and fight, to give us the freedom we cherish. Please take some time to get to know people. I think we all need to remember we get to celebrate freedoms many in this world can’t. Don’t waste your freedom closing your minds and making judgement without knowing the whole story. Diane Askin

Volunteers organize service Editor: Re: Ceremony security detail over the top, letter to the editor, Nov. 20 I, like G. Campbell, attended the Remembrance Day service in Ladner. It was a beautiful day to pay our respects to the men and women of our armed forces who lost their lives in the service of our country. I have been attending this service since 1976 when I first came to Ladner. My has it grown. The numbers are increasing year by year. The whole of the service is organized by volunteers, with the Ladner branch of the Royal Canadian Legion

playing a major role. The use of derisive adjectives to describe some of those volunteers is at best shameful. The “motley crew of unkempt louts” who were providing traffic control were volunteers as well. That same crew has been providing the same service every year for years. Those unkempt louts in ill-fitting T-shirts and borrowed vests are members of the Legion who give freely of their time and service so we can pay our respects. With respect to the concern about “uncapped police officers” carrying semi-automatic weapons charging through the crowd, you must have been at a completely different service than I was. I saw one RCMP member, a dog handler, on duty walking quietly through the crowd protecting us. In light of the slaying of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo in Ottawa and a target-rich environment such as large gatherings, I am happy to let the experts determine the risk and establish the precautions necessary to protect us. Next year, instead of going downtown to a “respectable” ceremony, consider volunteering. Clearly Campbell is concerned about the Ladner service, so step up, sign up and teach your son to volunteer.

Operation Red Nose kicks off season on Friday Getting revelers home safely

Operation Red Nose begins its 14th season in Delta-Richmond this Friday. The Delta Gymnastics Society will once again be hosting the program that offers holiday revelers a safe ride home. Carlene Lewall, chair of the Delta-Richmond campaign, said Operation Red Nose volunteers are aiming to provide over 700 rides and bring over 1,600 people back to their homes safely this holiday season. Although rides are free, donations are encouraged to help support youth sport development and

physical literacy in Delta. The service will be offered on the nights of Nov. 27 and 28 and Dec. 4, 5, 11, 12, 18, 19 and 31. Volunteers are still needed to deliver this year’s campaign. “We are reaching out to all our past volunteers to join us once again and we encourage new people to give this volunteering option a chance,” Lewall said. “You will be amazed how quickly the night goes by and how rewarding this service can be.” Call 604-943-0460 or visit www.deltagymnastics. com/operation-red-nose/ for more information.

Having a title does not make a leader. Prime minister, pope, president — all of these positions bring with them a great deal of power and inherent respect, but they do not necessarily grant the titleholder the ability to lead well. Leadership is not about position; leadership is an activity. Being an effective leader involves treating people with dignity and respect. It is about being a role model, coach, mentor and serving above self. Strong actions will give people confidence and encourage them to follow. I watched the federal election with great interest and I contemplated whether Justin Trudeau was ready or not, and I judged him against other candidates. But as the election campaign carried on, I began to realize the subtle, yet powerful leadership attributes in the younger Trudeau. He possesses natural leadership skills that engaged our country in a debate about who we are as Canadians, and what we represent both domestically and on the international scene. He reminded us of what it means to be Canadian, with his eternal optimism about the future, and his charismatic nature inspired our social conscience. Throughout the course of the campaign Trudeau did not engage in disparaging behaviours towards other candidates. He

yet made him a successful leader. He will be faced with extremely difficult decisions, he will be challenged by international agendas and he will, at some point, lead Canada through some form of crisis. With the recent events in Paris, that crisis may be upon us now. As the prime minister establishes himself as our leader, it is my hope he JIM CESSFORD maintains the core values defended himself when he espoused during his necessary, and remained campaign.

Fromprovidingdirections to taking over the wheel There are a lot of things I don’t understand. I don’t understand how my iPhone knows when it’s time to turn back the clock. I don’t understand how it’s possible for planes to stay up in the air. I don’t understand how GPS is able to tell me that I should turn right in half a kilometre, then take the first left and merge onto the highway. That last one really gets me. It’s just plain weird. Everyone, it seems, has GPS. But I’ve seen precious few people scratch their heads and say: “Now what the heck is going on here? Is there an elf with a map on my rearview mirror?” But no, that’s not the way we roll — or rather, the way we drive. Most of us happily take advantage of the new-age navigational system, never once pausing to ask ourselves how it is that a car can (a) talk; and (b) know where it is, and where it is going. But a crazier one is on its way: Driverless cars. That’s right. Driverless cars. Word has it they’re

on the horizon. Now I don’t know about you, but this one seems to me to be weird with a capital W. I have not looked into driverless cars, and I do not plan to buy a driverless car, or even travel in a driverless car, but let me make this perfectly clear: I do not understand driverless cars. I really, really don’t understand them. I don’t even understand the rationale behind them. Were driverless cars conceived so the poor harddone-by driver could do other things while traveling in her car? Like file her nails, say, or finish her Sudoku puzzle? Or maybe

wrap her Christmas presents? Whatever. Now maybe my brain’s the size of a pea, but I have always assumed that a motor vehicle was best operated by a human being, preferably one who’s taken a lesson or two, and understands the dials on the dashboard, as well as the difference between the accelerator and the brake. I assume, of course, that the driverless car will still require an occupant, and that the occupant will be able to take control whenever the need arises. But still. This is definitely new vehicular territory, and it’s right up there with the airplane when I try to figure it out. Speaking of flying, of course, that may be coming up next: cars that bypass freeways and head straight for those lanes in the sky. This would also leave me baffled, but I may just give it a try. No idea how the car would fly, but I’m sure the car would know.

The Delta Naturalists’ Society would like to see Delta adopt a strategy that would identify, protect and enhance the area’s biodiversity. “We need to protect our natural assets,” Anne Murray, a member of the society, told council last week as the group presented its pitch to have the municipality establish a Delta Birds and Biodiversity Strategy. Society president Tom Bearss told civic politicians the group was inspired after seeing similar programs in other communities — the City of Vancouver instituted its Bird Strategy earlier this year, Surrey has its Biodiversity Conservation Strategy, Richmond has an Ecological Network Management Strategy and Metro Vancouver has its Sensitive Ecosystem Inventory. “We thought it [Vancouver’s strategy] was very good and we created a committee at the Delta Naturalists’ Society to look into this bird strategy that they have and see whether we can fit it in with Delta, which is the mecca for birds in not only B.C. but probably all of Canada,” Bearss said. The first part of the strategy saw the group put together a Birds in Delta pamphlet, which features photos and descriptions of 56 of Delta’s common, and not-so-common, species. Murray said the time

Delta Naturalists’ Society president Tom Bearss thinks Delta should follow the lead of other local governments and develop a bird strategy. is right for Delta to start developing such a strategy because Vancouver is hosting the International Ornithological Congress in the summer of 2018, which will bring thousands of the world’s top bird scientists to the region. The conference is only held every four years and this is only the second time it’s been held in Canada. “This will be a marvelous opportunity to showcase what we have here in Delta,” she said. “Because though they will be meeting in Vancouver at the conference centre, they will be bird watching, you can be sure, down here in Delta. They’ll be looking for shorebirds at Roberts Bank and Boundary Bay and they’ll be visiting Reifel Bird Sanctuary and many other areas around Delta.” A number of objectives have been set out for the

strategy, including: identify and protect bird habitats and areas with high biodiversity; enhance existing habitat and identify any habitat creation opportunities; enhance awareness and access to nature; identify and reduce threats to urban and rural bird life and biodiversity; promote bird-related tourism; and identify partners and cultivate leadership and knowledge in birds and birding within the community. Murray said birdingrelated tourism brings in $36 billion in North America. She said there are no firm numbers on how much is brought in locally, but told civic politicians about a family that last year flew all the way from Japan to see the snowy owls in Delta. Council directed staff to report back on the society’s requests.

Christmas Tree Festival kicks off season

The Ladner Business Association is kicking off the holiday season again this year with the annual Christmas Tree Festival. Now in its third year, the festival returns to Ladner Village tomorrow night and it’s getting bigger and better every year. “We’re very excited this year,” said Jill McKnight, one of the organizers. “Our Christmas events are growing.” McKnight notes that Port Metro Vancouver has come on board as a presenting sponsor and more local businesses are taking part this year. “I think the enthusiasm is growing,” she said, adding that all of the sponsoring businesses are based in Ladner and members of the LBA.

While the festival has brought many new traditions to the annual Christmas festivities in Ladner Village, it also incorporates one longstanding one — the lighting of the tree at the corner of 48th Avenue and Delta Street. Starting at 6 p.m. and running until 7:30 p.m., two blocks of 48th Avenue and Delta Street will be closed to traffic as the spirit of Christmas takes over the village. Residents are invited to come out, stroll the street and enjoy the free familyoriented festival. Local singer Tony Barton and his Jingle Belles are back again this year to perform many festive favourites. This year, McKnight said, organiz-

ers have arranged to use Delta’s show stage, which will allow for a larger production that will be more visible. Tables will be set up along the street where children can take part in gingerbread cookie decorating, a colouring contest, as well as games and activities. Letters to Santa can be dropped off at a special mailbox set up just for the festival. All the letters will be sent directly to the North Pole. LBA member businesses will be taking part in the annual gingerbread contest, with residents casting their votes for their favourite creations. There will be complimentary hot chocolate as well as food for sale.

Santa will arrive at approximately 7:15 p.m. to light the Christmas tree. The third annual LBA Christmas Tree Festival runs from 6 to 7:30 p.m. rain or shine. Delta Museum will also be open for a special holiday-themed event. Festival of Lights explores how for thousands of years people around the world have celebrated the winter solstice. In those dark winter months, many cultures celebrate with light. Festival of Light looks at holiday traditions from around the world through illuminating crafts and games. The museum, which is on the corner of Delta and Bridge streets, will be open from 6 to 8 p.m. Admission is by donation.

Carol ships set to sail into harbour

A local Christmas tradition for more than 40 years, the carol ships will once again bring holiday cheer into Ladner Harbour. This year’s festive display of lights and Christmas songs will set sail on Friday, Dec. 4 and Saturday, Dec. 5 at 7:15 p.m. both days. The Ladner Gospel Assembly choir will set up at the government dock at the foot of Elliott Street to serenade the crowd with Christmas favourites as local boats, festooned with lights and festive decorations, sail into Ladner Harbour. Choir member Marie Webber said the evening’s entertainment will also

include a duet by Ashley and Alister Milne of The Suspenders, and country gospel songstress Ruth Hanna will perform a solo for the crowd. The Ladner branch of the Royal Canadian Legion will also be on hand serving hot chocolate. The Ladner Gospel Assembly choir has been performing in Ladner Village for Christmas for four decades. According to the Optimist archives, the first carol ship sailing was on Dec. 16, 1970 when the Cape Blanco sailed into Ladner Harbour alongside the Bethune and Devil Wind. The Cape Blanco carried the First Christian

ver twenty-three years ago, two eager career women decided to try their hand at selling cruises. Carole Petersen and Gina Holvick opened the sixth store, in what is now a chain of over 150 Expedia CruiseShipCenters North America wide. Having seen such a great success with Richmond, Expedia CruiseShipCenters, Carole and Gina decided it was time to branch out and set up their second store here in ”Sunny South Delta”.

September 8th marked the third anniversary of our Ladner store and we could not be happier. Located in Harbour Center Mall, business has been soaring. We have been getting our name out there, gaining recognition and we are enjoying becoming a part of the community. We have been making our presence known in a number of ways. We have joined the Delta Chamber of Commerce as well as taking part in the Sun Festival. We are also hosting our own trade shows such as our recent World Explorer Event at Delta Town and Country Inn which was a great success with about 200 people in attendance. Carole and Gina have become such great leaders amongst their peers in the industry but more importantly, as franchise owners, they have become role models within the organization of Expedia CruiseShipCenters. Because of their success they are often sought out for advice from new and veteran owners alike.

Expedia CruiseShipCenters

With a great work ethic and pride in their business it only seems fitting that Carole and Gina staff their office with only “The Best”. In our Sunny South Delta office our team has well over 60 years of combined experience in the cruise and travel industry. With this experience rest assured that you will be in good hands. After all, who better to help you plan your next vacation then someone who has been there.

Group looking to brighten holidays for other women JESSICA KERR

j ke r r @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

A group of local women is once again appealing for donations to help bring a little brightness to women in need during the holidays. Women Helping Women South Delta is in its sixth year of reaching out to women here at home and in other nearby communities to brighten their day by giving them the gift of something pretty just for them. Every year, the group comes together to collect donations of personal items, such as shampoo, soap, deodorant, toothbrushes and feminine hygiene products, for women’s shelters and transition homes. Aside from providing those everyday essentials, the group also aims to bring a little fun and pampering to women who are going through a rough time, collecting items like nail polish, make up, perfume and

pyjamas — anything new and unopened that will give the gift of pampering to women who can’t afford it otherwise. After donating beauty products to a group serving the women of the Downtown Eastside for a number of years, the local women decided to bring that spirit of giving closer to home. In 2010, they gathered enough donations to make 52 gift bags for one residential recovery home. Last year, with generous donations from friends,

family and the community, the group was able to deliver more than 560 gift bags to women in various communities throughout the Lower Mainland. This year, the gift bags will be distributed to women at emergency shelters, second stage housing, residential recovery homes and outreach programs. Women Helping Women is collecting donations until Dec. 6. Prior to Dec. 6, donations can be dropped off in Ladner at Changes Hair Studio (4889 Delta St.), Lawlor Goldsmith Shoppe (4817 Delta St.) or 440063A St. In Tsawwassen, donations can be dropped off at Locks ‘n Lashes (1513-56th St.). Donations can also be arranged by emailing Pindi Mann at p_ mann@telus.net or Tanya Gaytmenn at gaytmenns@ telus.net. On Dec. 6, donations can be dropped off at Fisherman’s Hall (4481 Savoy St., Ladner) before noon.

After being invited by members of the Grade 7 class, 103-year-old Norman Keith, a Second World War veteran, graciously agreed to attend. With handshakes and salutes, many students, staff and parents showed their appreciation and gratitude to Keith for taking the time to share in the assembly. After their tribute to those who have fought for our freedom, the Grade 7 class took some time to pose with Keith.

Boots, books and baking at St. David’s Christmas fair

PHOTO BY GORD GOBLE

Crafters Lucy (left), Devon, Angelica and Amanda prepare for Saturday’s Christmas fair at St. David’s Anglican Church in Tsawwassen.

The semi-annual Keen Shoe Sale at St. David’s Anglican Church in Tsawwassen will kick off the parish Christmas Craft Fair this Saturday. The outdoor footwear company based in Portland, Oregon, is no stranger to its customers in South Delta, but combining the winter Keen Footwear Sample Sale with the church’s sale of books and baking is a new twist. Shoppers of Keen Shoes will have an opportunity to purchase footwear from a wide-range of styles before

following arrow-directions to the parish hall and a bake-table piled-high with frozen fruit pies and all manner of other kitchen comestibles. Gently-used books are also piled-high to tempt readers to put their feet up with a good holiday season read. The stalls encircling the parish hall will display the work of parishioners who have knitted and stitched, baked and bottled, crafted Christmas tree ornaments, refurbished jewelry, polished treasures and created a variety of silent auc-

tion gift baskets. The youth group has added its own brand of cool items, two of which are especially seasonal — “Boo Hoo Poor You” (kraft paper-bag of headcold comforts) and clear Christmas tree baubles filled with hot chocolate mix. The parish kitchen, renamed St David’s Café for the day, will be open for morning coffee and muffins, snacks and lunch. The fair will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the culde-sac at 1115-51A St.

Students at South Park stick it to cancer School initiatives, including duct taping teachers and principals to gym wall, raise over $6,000

Students at South Park Elementary wholeheartedly embraced the opportunity to help children struggling with cancer by fundraising for Cops for Cancer. They undertook a variety of initiatives, such as a draw to win a day as a Delta police officer and selling duct tape to tape their principals and teachers to the wall, on their way to raising $6,333.80. The money will support the Canadian Cancer Society’s Camp Goodtimes for children fighting cancer. “It’s really amazing what you’ve done,” said Nolan McLeod, a former South Park student and cancer survivor who has been to Camp Goodtimes. “It really makes a positive difference to the kids at Camp Goodtimes.” Const. Dave Ogilvy of the Delta police was at the Tsawwassen school to thank students for their outstanding support for Cops for Cancer, which

students. “But kids fighting cancer do not get to quit, so we don’t either. We are riding for them.” As part of the school assembly, the students duct-taped the principal, vice-principal and two of

their teachers to the wall. The energy in the room was palpable as the bench was pulled-out from under their feet and they hung, stuck to the wall, in front of the giggling students. At the end of the

assembly, student Teagan Gretsinger was adorned with a Delta police vest and helmet. Via her donations to Cops for Cancer, she won the opportunity to spend a day with school liaison officer Const. Mike

Turbulent ride over for Devils Up and down season ends with 33-14 quarter-final loss to #1 ranked Ravens 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 wild and turbulent season came to an end on Saturday night at B.C. Place Stadium for the South Delta Sun Devils. On a roller-coaster ride that would be the envy of any amusement park in Southern California, the Sun Devils fell 33-14 to the No. 1 ranked Terry Fox Ravens in B.C. high school football AAA quarter-final action. Based on results of their 10-week season, it’s almost impossible to pinpoint what the 2015 edition of the Sun Devils were all about. Are they the team that squeezed out an 8-7 conference win over Notre Dame a month ago or the one that outlasted Mt Boucherie 59-49 in their postseason opener? The playoff loss suggested the quality of their opponent had a lot do with it. The offence struggled to move the ball against heavyweight schools all season, managing just two touchdowns in losses to the province’s top three ranked teams — Terry Fox, Vancouver College and Mt Doug. The defence held its own for the most part but eventually wore down. South Delta was still within striking distance Saturday until the Ravens managed a pair of early fourth quarter touchdowns to open up a 33-6 lead. “We lost the ball three or four times today and that hurt,” said head coach Ray Moon. “It’s sorry to see this come to an end.” The campaign began with high expectations for the defending provincial champions who were not only No. 1 in the pre-season rankings but No. 2 in all of Canada. After an impressive opening season win, doubt started to creep in when

PHOTOS BY MARK BOOTH

A solid defensive effort for South Delta wasn’t enough in a 33-14 playoff loss to top ranked Terry Fox. Alberta’s Cochrane Cobras visited Tsawwassen in mid-September and handed the Sun Devils a lopsided defeat. A tough stretch in league play followed as the Devils dropped home games to Vancouver College and Mt Doug, eventually ending up fourth in the conference after falling to New West as well. “We had some great players

The Ravens had Devils quarterback Michael Calvert on the run.

but it just didn’t happen for us,” said Grade 12 lineman Ryan von Ende who was superb in his final high school game and has eight CIS programs in pursuit of him. “When you look at it, our offensive line was amazing, we had a great running back in Grant (McDonald) and a great group of Grade 10 players. “But we were here and there (the entire season).” The Sun Devils quietly changed course during the year too, even going into somewhat of a rebuilding mode.” When the passing attack failed to gain any kind of traction, a change was made at quarterback and the dynamics of the offence too with the insertion of Michael Calvert. The Grade 10 standout provided plenty of athleticism at the position and was a threat to take off on every snap. He caused huge headaches for Mount Boucherie in the opening playoff win as South Delta racked up a pile of yards on the ground. However, against a much more athletic front seven, it was a lot asking a 15-year-old to do more of the same against the unbeaten Ravens.

They had Calvert uncomfortable the entire first half and there was simply too much speed to turn a broken play into a big gain. Grade 12 Kyle Chace came off the bench and provided an instant spark when he completed his first two passes, including a 53-yard touchdown strike to Billy Matwichyna. The second quarter play brought the Devils within eight points but they would get no closer as a pair of third quarter turnovers essentially sealed their fate. Matwichyna was another Grade 10 who went from a backup to a starter. Calvert was also huge on special teams, adding his fourth touchdown of the season on a 72-yard run out of punt formation to close out the scoring. “We had to look from within our team of where we could build success from,” added Moon of the changes. “Michael gave us a different option but had no real experience throwing the ball (at the senior level).” South Delta at least heads into 2016 with some excellent young players who gained valuable experience, led by McDonald and Calvert.

U15 Footmen romp to victory at Richmond tourney

It was a dominating performance from start to finish as the Delta Footmen U15 tier one team proved to be the class of its division at the Roadrunner Romp Field Lacrosse Tournament in Richmond. The Footmen rolled to five straight victories, including a 15-2 triumph in the gold medal game over Victoria, avenging a loss to the Island squad in the 2014 final. The run started with a 15-4 win against Langley as Mark Yingling’s dominance in face-offs and goal scoring earned him game MVP honours. Delta then doubled Pac Rim from Vancouver Island 14-7. Some clutch saves from goaltender Jackson McLeod earned him game MVP. In what proved to be the first of two meetings

with Victoria, Delta closed out round-robin play with a 10-5 victory. Arjan Sing secured the player of the game award thanks to his good defensive work and hustle on loose balls. The semi-final featured Langley once again and, this time the Valley squad put up a much better fight. A tight battled for three quarters finally saw the Footmen take control and pull out a 10-7 victory. Yingling’s tenacious play earned him his second game MVP award. The championship tilt was decided in the early going as Delta jumped out to a 5-0 lead and never looked back. Jon Grieg’s excellent work with the long pole gave him the game MVP nod. The Footmen’s depth and skill, plus the boys’ pure passion for the sport,

Currently, the team is sitting in league play with an unbeaten 4-2-0 record. Delta will also travel to Seattle to compete in the Elite Division of the Space Needle Shootout Dec 4-6.

The roster also features: Dean Kishuichi, Haiden Dickson, Jake Cantlon, James Grieg, Jared Molici, John Woodward, Max

Stalling, Mitch Godlongton, Mitch Sandberg, Owen Borthwick, Niel Bains, Rory Trevorrow and Zack Kyriacethys.

The boys are coached by Ross Frehlick, Josh Neumann, Dereck Murrell and Garrett Brown. Jeff Stalling is team manager.

Record weekend in the pool for SFU’s Lee Winskill Dolphins Swim Club alumni Gabriel Lee had a leading role in host Simon Fraser dominating last weekend’s Clan Cup. Over the three day event, SFU won 26 of 37 events and set six new meet records, four of which Lee was a part of. Lee broke his own record in the 200 backstroke, shaving two tenths of a second off the old mark he set last year. He won the race in 1:59.82, more than 12 seconds in front of the next closest competitor.

THROW ROCKS... at our house

Lee also swam the anchor leg for SFU’s record-setting 400 freestyle relay team. In the final race of the meet, the Clan foursome of Adrian VanderHelm, Justin Kiedrzyn, Colton Petersen and Lee easily out-paced Whitman College to win in 3:21.67, breaking the old mark of 3:23.15. On the opening day of the meet, Lee swam the third leg of SFU’s 400 medley relay team’s record-setting swim and the first leg of the 200 medley relay team’s record win.
