The B.C. lacrosse community is mourning the loss of one of its own following a tragic car crash in Ladner last Saturday evening. A 19-year-old woman was killed and her female friend was injured in a two-car collision on Highway 17A just north of

Ladner Trunk Road around 10 p.m. According to RCMP, a northbound vehicle was stopped at the side of the road by the bus stop. Both women were behind the vehicle when it was struck by a northbound Jeep. The 19-year-old woman, who had reportedly been at a lacrosse game between the

Delta Islanders and New Westminster Salmonbellies at the Ladner Leisure Centre, was pronounced dead at the scene, while her friend, 20, was taken to hospital with nonlife threatening injuOlivia Malcom ries.

The Jeep driver remained at the scene and cooperated. Alcohol is suspected as a contributing factor, according to police. The victim was identified through social media as Olivia Malcom, a member of the New Westminster

South Delta’s Ethan Prasad fends off Robert Bateman tacklers during the provincial title game the Sun Devils won 35-22.

A breakthrough season on the rugby pitch has culminated in South Delta Secondary winning its first-ever provincial championship. The Sun Devils completed their memorable journey with a 35-22 victory over the Robert Bateman Timberwolves in the “AAA” Tier One title game on Saturday at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford. South Delta entered the four-day tournament as the No. 2 seed and produced earlier wins over Lord Byng and West Vancouver to advance to the gold medal game. The triumph was part of an impressive weekend for the Tsawwassen school’s athletic program with the girls soccer team winning bronze at provincials and several top eight performances at the B.C. Track and Field Championships. SDSS has now won three provincial banners in recent years with earlier triumphs in football and girls volleyball. See Page 17 for full story.

Legion first to access fund Delta begins funding heritage preservation projects from new levy revenue SANDOR GYARMATI

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

The Ladner Legion will be the first to benefit from a new pool of city money aimed at heritage preservation. Delta council recently approved providing the Delta Street branch, located in the historic Bank of Montreal building, a $10,000 grant to help replace the roof. The project has an estimated $35,000 price tag, but the Legion has also been able to secure a $25,000 grant from the New Horizons for Seniors Program. Last year, Delta council created a heritage conservation levy of five per cent that’s applied to all building permits, money that will be used to fund heritage conservation initiatives. Owners of heritage buildings in Delta can apply for money from this new fund to complete works that preserve and protect heritage values. Applications are on a first-

property owner can obtain in a single year is $15,000. A report to council notes since the fund’s creation last summer, it has accu-

mulated almost $72,000. The fund will have just over $61,000 remaining after the Legion gets its grant.

The grant also comes with a covenant that would protect the building from demolition for 10 years.

Delta MLAs have different take on upcoming PR referendum Paton says there are still many unknowns with NDP’s approach 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

Your vote could count in a much different way if the provincial government’s proposal for proportional representation is approved. B.C. Attorney General David Eby has submitted his recommendations to cabinet on a pair of potential questions that could be put to voters in a referendum this fall. The first would ask if they prefer the current first past the post voting system or proportional representation. If the latter is chosen, the second would ask if they want dual member proportional (DMP), mixed member proportional (MMP) or rural-urban (PR). Under DMP, most ridings would be doubled in size. Voters would pick a pair of candidates from each party. The first seats in each riding are won by the candidate of the party that gets the most votes. The second seat is

ferent take, of course. “We have a historic opportunity to replace our old and unfair voting system with a new way of voting that works for people,” Kahlon said. “While the B.C. Liberals and their wealthy friends are desperate to keep the status quo, we’re focused on making sure that British Columbians have an opportunity to choose a more proportional form of government. “Andrew Wilkinson and the B.C. Liberals have made it clear that the only reason they are against proportional representation is because they know they would no longer be able to get 100 per cent of the power with less than half of the votes. They don’t want every vote to count.” Eby’s report recommends a referendum campaign period beginning on July 1. The referendum would take place by mail-in ballot between Oct. 22 and Nov. 30.

Darcy Green has thrown his hat into the ring in this fall’s race for Delta council. “As a Delta resident for all of my adult life, I care deeply about the local community, the natural beauty we have in Delta and the thriving businesses that call Delta home,” said Green. “There is an opportunity to bring fresh, young and independent voices to Delta city council and I look forward to carrying that responsibility.” Planning to run as an independent, Green is a 16-year Delta resident who has spent his early professional career in the non-profit and small business sectors, including founding Delta-based non-profit organization Drizzle Environmental Society. In his daily professional life, he works for a charity and social enterprise in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Green, who graduated from Kwantlen

Three empty council seats in addition to the vacated mayor’s chair assures there will be the biggest single change at the council table in almost two decades. Green becomes the 14th council candidate to declare for the Oct. 20 election.

The annual Law Enforcement Torch Run benefits Special Olympics.

FILE PHOTO

Torch Run to pass through Ladner Friday afternoon

During the past two decades the Delta Police Department has raised about $250,000 for the Torch Run to benefit Special Olympics athletes. This Friday the Torch is coming to Delta, one of 16 Lower Mainland communities participating in the four-day run. Three Delta police officers are running this year to help spread the message of respect and inclusion for individuals with

intellectual disabilities. Overall more than 400 law enforcement members and 50 Special Olympics BC athletes will be taking part in the Torch Run. “We are honoured that so many law enforcement members come out each year to support Special Olympics BC through the Lower Mainland Torch Run,” says Special Olympics BC president and CEO Dan Howe. “This event raises much-needed funds and awareness for SOBC, and it is inspiring to see the amazing levels of camaraderie and mutual respect between law enforcement members and Special Olympics athletes.” Delta police sponsors a few Special Olympics athletes, one of whom also works part time for the

department. On Friday, the Torch Run will be leaving Ladner Lions Park at 1 p.m. on its way to Delta Police Department headquarters on Clarence Taylor Crescent in the civic precinct. Runners are expected to arrive at the police station at 2:45 p.m. Law enforcement members throughout the world have supported people with intellectual disabilities through the Law Enforcement Torch Run for more than 35 years, raising more than $600 million for Special Olympics programs in the process. The movement has raised more than $3 million in B.C. since 1990. To learn more about the Law Enforcement Torch Run, visit www.specialolympics.bc.ca/letr.

Delta firefighters fared well in recent FireFit competitions in Port Moody and Whitehorse.

Delta’s FireFit team is off to nationals once again IAN JACQUES

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

Delta firefighters continue to show they are the best of the best when it comes to firefighting competitions. The Delta team recently fared well in FireFit competitions in Port Moody and Whitehorse. Firefighters from B.C., the Yukon, Alberta and Washington state tested their strength and endurance at the events. Competitors dressed in full turnout gear completed relay races that included a stair climb with a hose weighing 42 pounds, a simulated forcible entry with a nine-pound mallet and a victim rescue with a 165-pound dummy. “FireFit is the toughest two minutes in sport,” said Delta firefighter and team member Rob Lemon. “It tests our commitment to fitness and staying fit for

duty and to attend our calls.” At the Port Moody event, Andrew Foreman came second in the individual category, while the Delta team (Foreman, Lemon, Mark Millward, Dave Mason and Steve Wood) placed second in the relay. Lemon and Foreman finished first in the open tandem, while Lemon and Millward were first in the over-40 tandem. In Whitehorse, Foreman was once again second in the individual category, while the Delta team (Foreman, Lemon and Millward) placed second in the team relay. Lemon and Foreman finished first in the open tandem and Lemon and Millward were second in the over-40 tandem. Delta firefighters have been competing in such events for 22 years and have had an incredible run of success, qualifying

for the nationals in all of those years. Delta is off to the nationals again in September in Calgary and the world championships in Sacramento in October. Delta last won the worlds in 2013. “Our dedication and hard work to stay fit for our jobs, I think, has been our key to success,” said Lemon. “Also our teamwork. We had five guys as a team in Port Moody and three guys as a team in Whitehorse. We work really well together. Andrew is 32, I’m 42 and Mark is 52. Me and Mark are a bit older, so for us to battle through a few injuries and such to get all these first and second place finishes shows how hard we work.” Lemon said the competitions are not unlike a fire call: “It’s what we do every day — you work as a team to get things done in the end. We push ourselves to the limit and it pays off.”

Delta fire halls host open houses IAN JACQUES

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

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a firefighter in Delta? Now is your chance to find out at the annual community open houses. The South Delta open house will be held at Hall No. 1 (4645 Harvest Dr., Ladner) on Saturday, June 9, while the North Delta open house will be held at Hall No. 3 (11375-84th

Ave.) on Saturday, June 16. Both will run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Firefighter Dave Wood said the department uses the open houses as a chance to show off the department and what it does in the community. “At both our open houses we will have a number of demonstrations, cooking hot dogs and our Men in Black team will have our junior firefighter obstacle course set up, so they

can run through that and get their fire hat and certificate of completion. It’s going to be a fun day,” said Wood. “All of vehicles will be on display and the kids can jump inside the trucks and just get a chance to see what firefighting is all about.” The schedule for both days includes a high angle demo at 11 a.m., auto extrication demo at 1 p.m. and a hazmat demo at 2 p.m.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY

iven the walk-over four years ago, any type of mayor’s race this fall would be a more compelling contest, but it looks like we’re in store for a real barn-burner. The announcement by Jim Cessford last week means we now have three high-profile candidates chasing the mayor’s chair that will be left vacant when Lois Jackson steps aside after 19 years. After a relatively close race back in 1999, Jackson’s electoral victories had become progressively larger to the point where she was acclaimed in 2014 when no one came forward to challenge her. There will be far more drama this time around as not only will we be without an incumbent for the first time in two decades, but Jackson’s three prospective replacements — two-term councillor Sylvia Bishop and former Delta CAO George Harvie had previously entered the race — all come with impressive resumes. Cessford spent 20 years as Delta’s police chief, so despite a lack of political experience, he knows the community well and might be the biggest change agent should voters be so inclined. As a long-time public servant with right-of-centre leanings, Cessford is similar to Harvie in that regard, so it will be interesting to see how voters differentiate the two and whether that pool is deep enough to accommodate the eventual winner. Harvie has already made it clear he will campaign on a platform of building on Jackson’s accomplishments, and given her leadership was popular enough to result in six terms in office, it appears sound strategy, although with a pair of incumbents on both of the other slates (and none on his), I’m sure there will be some spirited discussions over who deserves credit for what. Having run for the NDP both provincially and federally, Bishop is still moderate enough to appeal to a cross-section of voters, and since Beth Johnson proved Deltans are willing to elect a left-leaning mayor, last election’s council poll topper could find fertile ground among those keen to maintain a small town feel. It’s hard to distinguish a clear frontrunner and at this point it’s also difficult to determine if the race will be contested by just three. A potential fourth candidate could turn a barnburner into an election for the ages.

Transportation funding that doesn’t require road pricing A report was released recently on funding transportation projects in Metro Vancouver. Once again, there was no clear recommendation, just a few ideas that have been around for a while. No one, but no one, wants to take responsibility for introducing what will no doubt be an unpopular new tax, especially when it would cost $5 to $8 a day for the average driver. I think the biggest mistake was not approving the 0.5 per cent increase in PST. Regardless of where you live, regardless of your vehicle ownership, you benefit from our roads, and everyone should pay for it. Further, it is a progressive tax, because it’s based on consumption – the more you make, the more you spend, the more you pay. That got me thinking. Both that and the HST referendum resulted in bad decisions from a policy perspective. What if we use these as the basis for our transportation problem? Here’s my thought. Bring back the HST, but call it the CST (combined sales tax). Lower it to 11.5 per cent province-wide, but in Metro Vancouver keep it at 12 per cent and put the extra 0.5 per cent (about $320 million) towards transportation infrastructure, more than the mayors had requested in their 10-year plan. Transportation funded, and no new taxes. The HST was good policy, just not well understood, and too

rapidly implemented. People thought it was a new tax, instead of a combined GST and PST. So change the name, keep it simple and call it the combined sales tax (CST). Since it’s a flow through tax, Metro Vancouver businesses remit 12 per cent, while the rest of the province charges and remits 11.5 per cent. The biggest complaint with the HST was the addition of seven per cent on children’s clothes and restaurant meals. It didn’t devastate restaurants as predicted, but we can find a way around the children’s clothes part. That can fixed with a rebate based on income, and don’t forget, there used to be a great quarterly cheque sent out based on the previous year’s tax return under the HST. The B.C. budget reports that PST revenues for 2018/19 are roughly $7.5 billion, so a halfpoint reduction equates to $536 million per year overall. That

seems like a lot of money for government to forgo, unless, of course, we can get the federal government to give is back the $1.6 billion it offered for us to move to a combined tax initially. That would cover the gap for a while. Plus, there will be efficiencies along the way. The big incentive for keeping the HST initially was it would drop from 12 per cent to 10 per cent, so I’m guessing this would actually increase revenues over time. Just depends on the state of our relationship with the feds these days. Implementation is the big part. Don’t do it overnight. Talk about it, for a year. Explain it clearly so there’s no confusion like last time. But since the topic has shifted to a huge increase for drivers (projected to be $1.15 billion), I think there will be a lot more acceptance for anything other than massive road pricing. So let’s see: no road tax, transportation funding achieved, increased revenues for government and more affordable for consumers. Sounds like a winwin-win-win. Nahh, it’ll never work. No one wants to get blamed for introducing a tax, even though it isn’t new.

Rude encounter in lot is unlike Tsawwassen

Editor: A month ago my husband and I moved to sunny Tsawwassen looking ahead to retirement to enjoy a quieter pace and enjoy lovely people our age. We are delighted with our decision and virtually everyone we have met is kind and helpful and smiling. We had a number of recent life events that compelled this decision — two deaths, including a suicide, a job loss and various health issues, including my husband’s heart surgery last Tuesday. Last Wednesday I had to leave him for a few minutes to fill a prescription

at Shoppers Drug Mart. Lovely people there too. I was in a hurry to leave but a tall, grey-haired man in a green rugby shirt approached my car and indicated I was to roll down my window. Despite my need to get back, he asked me why I parked the way I did. I looked and I was between the lines on both sides. He said I was too far forward in the parking space and proceeded to reprimand me. I told him I was on my way to attend to my husband who just got home from the hospital and deliver his medication. That wasn’t enough appar-

ently and he continued on his tirade about how I had inconvenienced him somehow. I refrained from offering my opinion of his pettiness and inconsideration for others. In one fell swoop he undid all the kindness of others. Next time you want to reprimand someone for a small thing, think about what their circumstances might be. Obviously he hadn’t read Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff and his ego needed to tell someone off that day. As for everyone else who has made us feel welcome and helpful and happy, we thank you. P. Greig

With system a mess, mobility pricing is a coward’s way out

Editor: Re: Drivers could pay more to reduce congestion, May 30 What we see with the Mobility Pricing Independent Commission is both an uninformed and cynical attempt to secure more tax monies from the hapless taxpayer. We have road pricing already — it is called the gas tax — so why the need and cost of this commission? It seems those, not so independent people, sitting on the commission were being handsomely paid to find ways to tax people more.

The first rule for road pricing or mobility charging is: Is there a user friendly and affordable transit alternative? The answer is no, not even close, despite the bellicose pronouncements of TransLink’s CEO and regional mayors. TransLink doesn’t even understand the word user-friendly or affordable as the dysfunctional bureaucracy continues to plan gold-plated transit for routes that do not have the ridership to sustain such operation. This means large subsidies will be needed to keep the transit system in

operation, needing new revenue sources. In layman’s terms, TransLink happily plans to build transit two to three times more than it should, on routes that do not have the ridership to justify the investment, and mobility pricing is key for funding. Both the Broadway subway and Surrey’s LRT fall into this category. Regional transit and transportation are in a shambles and mobility pricing is the coward’s way of taxing the people, while doing the same thing over and over again, hoping for different results. Malcolm Johnston

Residents in Boundary Bay deserve a tax rebate for road work delays

Editor: As a resident of Boundary Bay, we only have one way out. It is becoming increasingly frustrating to constantly wait then to drive by what seems to be “five guys looking in a hole” with little or no advancement of the project. Today the flag person was paying more

attention to their phone than the traffic. Do you realize the wear and tear on our vehicles from the patched up road? Do you realize the time lost from residents while the flag person looks at Facebook and the city employees appear to be doing nothing? The original promise

was that Boundary Bay Road would be repaved by September 2017. Then those lovely letters starting coming from city hall with a new excuse each time. As a taxpayer, I expect some form of compensation. Perhaps all residents of Boundary Bay should get a tax rebate. Paula Ralston

Let’s hear from MP on pipeline purchase

Editor: As we now have purchased an oil pipeline, some questions are important to ask our MP. What does the business plan indicate as to who

will import the crude? We are led to believe China. Who will buy the finished pipeline? Will it be Kinder Morgan buying it back or China sovereign at bargain basement prices?

Smoke and mirrors has begun. Our MP must speak out and let us know the important facts discussed from behind closed door negotiations. Dale Pitts

Shriners fire up BBQ for good cause

PHOTOS BY ADRIAN MACNAIR

The Tsawwassen Shrine Club hosted its 49th annual salmon barbecue last Sunday afternoon at Ladner Harbour Park.

Major university hearing study seeks participants. Connect Hearing, with hearing researcher Professor Kathy Pichora-Fuller at the University of Toronto, seeks participants who are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids for a hearing study investigating factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge. Qualifying participants may also receive a demonstration of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve lifechanging hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why participate in the hearing study?

Hearing problems typically result from damage to the ear and researchers have spent decades trying to understand the biology behind hearing loss. More importantly, researchers now realize the

need to better understand how hearing loss affects your everyday life*. In this new hearing study, Professor Pichora-Fuller and her team are trying to find out how people learn to live with hearing loss and how new solutions could help these people take action sooner and live life more fully.

If you are over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids, you can register to be a part of this major new hearing study† by calling: 1.888.242.4892 or visiting connecthearing.ca/hearing-study. * Pichora-Fuller, M. K. (2016). How social psychological factors may modulate auditory and cognitive functioning during listening. Ear and Hearing, 37, 92S-100S. † Study participants must be over 50 years of age and have never worn hearing aids. No fees and no purchase necessary.

National Institutes of Health. (2010).

It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss1, but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help2. This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. By studying people who have difficulty hearing in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

They’ve been hearing different things for years

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

The husband heard Laurel. I was all about Yanny. You know what I mean — unless you’ve been wearing earplugs the last few weeks.

The story was everywhere. When presented with a brief one-word audio clip, some people reported hearing the name Laurel, while others heard Yanny. A Twitter poll suggested there was about a 50-50 split. Weird. Very weird indeed — especially given that the names sound nothing alike. I mean, we’re not talking Sally and Allie here. We’re not talking Bill and Will or Sam and Pam. We’re talking Laurel and Yanny. “I heard Yanny,” I told the husband. “No!” he said. “You did

not! How can you hear Yanny? It’s Laurel!” “No,” I said. “It isn’t. It’s Yanny all the way.” Curious. No idea whether the husband and I have other sensory clashes — whether he sees a blue lake, say, when I see a green one, or whether he smells cinnamon when I smell nutmeg. But I have to say that this Laurel/Yanny oddity does explain a lot. I now know, for instance, that when I say: “I think the grass needs cutting this weekend,” the husband hears: “I think you should go for a nap in front of the television.”

Laurel and Yanny confirm it. If I was inclined to say to the husband: “We need to go to the hardware store to get a new rake,” he would hear something entirely different. Something along the lines of: “You should go to a sporting goods store — right now! — and buy a new set of irons.” It works the other way, of course. Were the husband to ask: “Whose turn is it to make dinner tonight?”, I might hear an entirely different question, something akin to: “Do you think we should make a reservation at some really expen-

Horsing Around in Delta

I now know, for instance, that when I say: “I think the grass needs cutting this weekend,” the husband hears: “I think you should go for a nap in front of the television.” “I told you!” he said. “It’s been Laurel all along!” I’m not so sure of that, and no idea why my ears have been playing tricks on me. But lo and behold, we now hear the same thing. The grass might get cut after all.

sive French restaurant tonight?” Or — maybe not so fast. Three days after I heard Yanny, Yanny, Yanny, I listened to the clip again. I was stunned. “You won’t believe it,” I said to the husband. “Now I only hear Laurel.”

“Come experience our Award Winning Programs” LARGE SELECTION OF:

Grooming Supplies Riding Apparel Horse Blankets • Tack Equine Laundry Service

The instant success of Canada’s only equestrian retail chain stemmed partly from its already well-established mail order business. But, to be honest, as far as most horse-people were concerned, there was nothing like shopping in a real brick and mortar store. Being able to feel the quality of a leather bridle and try on Greenhawk’s own brands of breeches, show shirts and riding boots was a huge draw. Today, the trend just keeps getting stronger – despite online shopping and even the soaring price of gas. There is a sense of community felt in a Greenhawk store. Customers who stop by to pick up a few essentials for their horse often meet up with someone they know. Conversations get started. There is lots of laughter and shared stories. Cell phones are produced to show photos of a new horse or a foal that’s recently been born. What might have been simply a “trip to the store” can end up being the highlight of an equestrian’s day. One young girl recently chose to hold her birthday party at Greenhawk – that’s where she and all her riding friends wanted to go to celebrate! Her mother gave each guest a small shopping budget and off they went, taking great care choosing just the right brush or treats for the stable pony they would ride next week. A call in advance to the store allowed us to put together a goodie bag for each of the party goers. It was fun for the girls, and for the other shoppers who happened to be in the store at the time. Of course, it’s not just young girls who develop a passion for horses and riding. Both men and women come in to get fitted for Greenhawk’s starter package for new riders. For $169.99, they receive a properly fitted helmet, paddock boots,

Add rugby to the list of provincial championship teams at South Delta Secondary School. The Sun Devils capped their breakthrough season with a 35-22 win over the Bateman Timberwolves in the B.C. Secondary Schools Rugby Union’s “AAA” Tier One title game at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford on Saturday. That makes it three B.C. titles won by SDSS teams in recent years, joining football and girls volleyball. It also comes on the same weekend the girls soccer team won provincial bronze and the track and field program produced several top 10 finishes at the B.C. championships. So what has the Tsawwassen school firing on all cylinders in several sports? It’s all about school pride and tradition. Just ask Jacob Kirk. It was a little over three years ago he watched his older brother Lucas quarterback the Sun Devils to a provincial title. Jacob would play three sports over the next couple of seasons and twice lost semi-final heartbreakers on the football field. Saturday was his final shot at glory, an opportunity he and his teammates embraced. “Just to step on this field for the last time wearing yellow and gold is incredible. The feeling right now is surreal and I’m so thankful to be able to do it in my last ever game as a Sun Devil,” beamed Kirk who is continuing his football career at the University of Calgary in September. Michael Calvert also has big plans on the football field with the

UBC Thunderbirds. It would have been easy for the Provincial MVP quarterback to take a pass on playing rugby and focus on his upcoming freshman year. Instead, he joined the team in the late stages of the season and made a huge impact in the championship run. On Saturday, the usually offensively dynamic outside centre produced a number of turnovers on punishing tackles that cemented his spot on the Commissioner’s IV Team. “I felt we already have a lot of guys who can score. I just thought I should dedicate myself to defence today and make sure they don’t get any big runs against us,” said Calvert. “It’s great for our team and our

school to be able to bring back the first (provincial) banner in rugby. Just going through high school and being so close in football and rugby before, it feels good to be ending my high school career as a champion.” It also takes contributions from players of all sizes and ages to be successful in rugby. That was certainly evident in the final in what was one of the team’s most complete games. “The story of our season has been we often come out a little sluggish and it takes a few (hits) to get the guys in gear,” said an emotional head coach Spencer Baines, who has worked tirelessly to make rugby relevant again at SDSS, along with his brother Matt. “Usually our

It’s another provincial championship banner for SDSS.

forwards just take the ball up and up. Today, they really moved the ball and found where the holes were. We were just much more dynamic.” South Delta surrendered an early penalty then took over with three unanswered converted tries, including a pair from Grade 10 Evan Patterson. Calvert added the other and the Devils took a commanding 21-3 into halftime. Bateman cut the deficit to 11 points in the early stages of the second half but the comeback bid was shortlived when Ethan Troniak, another Grade 10 starter, broke loose for a try from 60-metres out. The fearless Andrew Kraft added his team’s final score with about five minutes remaining. “We have been talking all season about doing something this school has never done before,” said Kraft, another standout football player. “We lost the Fraser Valleys here a couple of weeks ago but we just told ourselves to ‘keep going and going.’ Today showed what can happen if you don’t give up.” The Sun Devils opened the championships with a 31-8 quarter-final win over Lord Byng last Wednesday and outlasted West Vancouver 17-5 in the semi-finals. The roster also features: Dimitri Goulas, Cole Howes, Arda Elmasaalu, Riley Storey, Max Cantlon, Morgan Wosley, Caleb Van Til, Dylan Hampton, Kaedin Konowalchuk, Keldon Olmstead, Douglas Jameson, Chase Marshall, Jesse Conroy, Colton Mcdougall, Ben Lingham, Maverick Silvera, Severin Saubert, Ethan Prasad, George Johnston, Ryan Choi and James Plante.

JOHNSTONE, Captain Randy G. December 30, 1956 - May 29, 2018

On May 28th, 2018 we lost a dear soul in Sandra Elizabeth Fast (nee Smith). Sandy has crossed the bridge peacefully after a long struggle with health at her care home in White Rock, BC. Sandy prepared her own words to be communicated at the time of her passing. My life was enriched by my husband of 50 years, Joe Fast. His life philosophy centered around helping others and together we created two wonderful daughters who have made me proud and gave me reason to enjoy my whole life. Having chosen nursing as a career path I have always loved my special classmates from the University of Saskatoon, where we were together for 5 years (1960−1965). My world was also enriched by music & musical friends, in my 42 years with the Vancouver Bach Choir and many years with the jazz group Homemade Jam.

He loved two things the most, the Sea and his Family. The sea was in his blood but he had lots of interests including golf, hockey, baseball and traveling as much as possible with his wife Corrine. Their thoughts were to travel now while they could, and they did. No more truer words were spoken. Randy was a kind and gentle soul. He was always willing to help others in need, no matter what it was. He had a sharp mind and a quick sense of humour. All will deeply miss his presence. You will always be in our hearts. May you rest easy in fair winds and calm seas our dearest Randy. We will miss you today, tomorrow and forever. A celebration of Randy’s life will be held on Friday June 8, 2018 at 2pm - 5pm at The Harris Barn, 4140 Arthur Drive, Ladner, BC. There is a dress code: NO SUITS OR TIES only casual attire, golf wear, jeans anything other than a suit!

Sandy lost her dear husband Joe last year, and leaves behind her two daughters Robin Elizabeth Fast and Kelly Jo Holdsworth (nee Fast). A memorial service was held at Sandy’s favourite bird watching spot, Country Meadows Golf Course, in Richmond, BC at 2PM on Monday, June 4th, 2018. All friends are welcome. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation or pay a visit to the George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary.

May the Sunshine of Comfort Dispel the Clouds of Despair

MASSIMIANO, Denise Jeanne Yvonne February 28, 1941 − May 22, 2018 It is with great sadness that the family of Denise Massimiano announces her passing. Denise passed away quietly with her daughter (Fabienne) holding her hand at the Irene Thomas Hospice in Ladner, BC. She passed suddenly of cancer on May 22. She is survived by her daughter Fabienne and son−in−law Kevin Bot, who she lived with, and daughter Patricia. Denise moved to Richmond from Pittsburgh, PA after her loving husband Alfonzo Massimiano (US Veteran) passed in 2002. She then moved to Ladner with her family where she had a great life working at Minoru Seniors Centre and volunteering. www.wiebeandjeskefh.com

PARKER, Reginald A. (Reg)

PARKER, Reginald A. (Reg), age 82, of Osoyoos, British Columbia, passed away peacefully at home on May 28, 2018, with his family at his side. Reg was born December 25, 1935 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and grew up in Steveston (Richmond), British Columbia. He married Sheila Anne Henry in 1968 later moving to Ladner. Reg is survived by his children Susan (Rod), from his first marriage, Lisa (Ken), Dan (Shawn), grandchildren Megan (Jake), Nicole, Rebecca, Kaysen and Jade, and sister Marion, brother in-law Len, and nieces Kim and Lenaya. Reg is predeceased by his much-loved wife Sheila and parents George and Gladys. Reg lived a very full life, serving in the Canadian Armed Forces (1954-57), commercial fishing, working at Fraser River Pile Driving, the Municipality of Richmond, and later retiring to Osoyoos in 1999 where he enjoyed watching the tide come in on his beloved pond. Reg loved to hunt, fish and spend time with family and friends. He always had a great story to tell and was quick with a joke to make sure you were smiling. Reg was an active and wellregarded member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Ladner and Osoyoos Branches, and will be sadly missed by all his friends. Thank you to family and friends for all their care and support. A gathering in celebration of Reg’s life will be held at the family home on Saturday, June 16, 2018 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Condolences and tributes may be directed to the family by visiting: www.nunes-pottinger.com
