SMILE Helping you keep a

Dental Technology at Nature’s Design Dental The technology around us is constantly evolving and improving, and the world of dentistry is no exception. Here are some of the tools we are using at Nature’s Design Dental: Laser Diagnosis New technology in dental lasers uses pulsed light at a specific wavelengths on your teeth to identify cavities—even at an early stage. The laser’s wavelength makes the bacteria look fluorescent, which identifies the decayed areas. Unlike typical hand instruments, laser diagnosis can shine light into the smallest cavities and fissures to ensure they are fully diagnosed. By identifying and treating tooth decay earlier you can help make treatment as minimally invasive as possible. Laser diagnosis can also evaluate the progression or regression of dental cavities without having to expose patients to repeated x-rays. Many of our patients who are concerned about the radiation levels from x-rays prefer to go this route. Treating Cavities with Ozone (and without drilling) Ozone is a naturally occurring gas that is used around the world to sterilize public water systems and some of the food

we eat. It is also used in air puriﬁcation systems, commercial laundries, and swimming pools. Ozone is a natural gas produced by thunderstorms but it can be man-made. It has very small molecules made up of three oxygen atoms bonded together and is very effective for eliminating bacteria, fungus, and viruses in both air and water. For cavity treatment, a special hand piece is used to pump ozone over the affected tooth, and then pump it away after treatment is complete. After only 20 seconds, 99.9 per cent of cavitycausing pathogens will be eliminated. Many of our patients biggest dental fear is the drill. By using ozone or laser dentistry to treat early decay instead of a drill we can alleviate a lot of these dental anxieties and treat decay in a minimally invasive way. We also have a hard tissue laser that allows us to treat early cavities a lot of the time without freezing.

Contact us today for more information on laser dentistry or treating cavities with ozone gas. At Nature’s Design Dental new patients are always welcome and we offer complimentary consultations if you would like to come in and meet the team.

Motorcyclist killed on Deltaport Single-vehicle crash Sunday morning claims the life of a 37-year-old Delta man 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

A 37-year-old Delta man was killed Sunday morning in a crash on Deltaport Way.

According to Delta police, a motorcycle driver was exiting the Deltaport container terminal onto the 2700-block of Deltaport Way shortly after 9 a.m. when it’s believed he might have come

into contact with an exit gate. No other vehicles were involved. The driver, who was thrown from his motorcycle, was rushed to hospital where he was declared deceased. His family

has been notified of his death. “Due to the serious nature of the crash, the Delta police collision reconstructionist was called to the scene to identify, document and measure the physi-

Alleged sexual assault turns out to be a false report 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

An alleged sexual assault that had a North Delta neighbourhood on edge this spring has now been determined to be a false report, the Delta police announced yesterday. A stranger was alleged to have assaulted a woman on April 12 near Sunbury Hall, which imme-

diately prompted a police investigation and increased patrols in the area. Due to significant community concerns, a public meeting was held in May, at which time a composite drawing of the suspect was released. Police say evidence has now come to light that caused officers to believe the alleged assault might not have occurred. In a follow-up meeting, the woman

confirmed the assault did not take place and recanted her statement to police. “We understand the community was very troubled by news of the alleged stranger sex assault in the park,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf. “A significant number of resources were dedicated to this investigation. However, our

concern right now is that we do not want this news to discourage any other potential victims of sex assault from coming forward. Our investigators will always treat these reports very seriously, and will work with the community to do our best to ensure the public’s safety.” Leykauf said stranger sexual assaults are rare and are prioritized to the highest level of

investigation by policing agencies across Canada due to the risk to public safety. Leykauf said the department would like to remind the public that making a false report to police is a crime subject to prosecution, however she said due to a variety of factors, investigators have determined it is not in the public interest to pursue charges in this matter.

Waiting on bridge report Minister expects document by end of month, but will need summer to review it 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

You’re going to have to wait until sometime after summer to find out what’s been recommended for the George Massey Tunnel. Provincial Transportation Minister Claire Trevena last week said she expects a report from an independent consultant on her desk by the end of this month but that she’d need the summer to review the findings. In a statement, the Ministry of Transportation said, “Government expects a report on the independent technical review of the George Massey crossing to be delivered by the end of June. Government will take the time necessary to study the analysis before determining next steps.” Delta South Liberal MLA Ian Paton was quick to lash out. “This is an unacceptable timeline for residents of Delta and commercial truckers who have had enough of the NDP’s dithering on this project,” he said. Paton also noted two independent reviews have already been done, and both confirm a bridge is

Delta South MLA Ian Paton says it’s unacceptable that commuters continue to wait in George Massey Tunnel congestion while the NDP government undertakes further reviews. the most cost effective and environmentally responsible choice to replace the aging tunnel. Last November, the province announced it had hired professional engineer Stan Cowdell to lead the review. “The first task of the review will be to independently undertake a technical review of the lifes-

pan, safety and seismic vulnerability and current congestion of the existing tunnel. As well, Cowdell will review the technical assumptions and analysis for the tunnel and bridge options,” the government explained at the time. “As part of this, he will review the technical information already produced for the project and challenge or

verify the assumptions made out of that work. This assessment may identify the need for further technical work.” The province also stated it would continue to engage with the Metro Vancouver mayors to ensure that any plan for the Highway 99 corridor reflects their ideas and fits into the overall vision for

the region. The mayors have already voiced opposition to a new bridge. The NDP government suspended work on the $3.5-billion George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project last September pending the review. The 10-lane bridge was to have been completed by 2022.

Police ask public where to conduct traffic enforcement 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

The Delta Police Department’s traffic unit continues to come up with unique ways to enhance enforcement in the area. On Thursday morning the traffic unit took to its Twitter feed @DPDTraffic to ask the public for requests on where officers should set up. As a result, officers conducted enforcement at the stop sign at the

intersection of Lyon Road and Nicholson Road in North Delta, stopped speeders on Nordel Way and Kittson Parkway, and enforced the no right turn on a red light sign from the Save-On-Foods parking lot onto 12th Avenue in Tsawwassen. Later in the day officers were at 12th Avenue and English Bluff Road to make sure drivers were stopping for pedestrians. Officers could not get to all the requested locations

made by the public, but deemed the exercise a success, promising to conduct the initiative again. In the past two months, DPD traffic enforcement has been stepped up in a number of ways, including the activation of a direct Twitter feed. In what is believed to be a first for policing in B.C., the DPD’s traffic section has been regularly advising social media followers when and where traffic enforcement will be occur-

ring. “Although Delta police and other forces occasionally publicize enforcement efforts, we don’t think any other police force in B.C. has committed to giving the public a heads up on a regular basis,” said S/Sgt. Ryan Hall. “We’ll be giving folks who follow us @ DPDTraffic on Twitter an advance warning of enforcement efforts approximately once a week.”

Mayor warns about quicksand-like mud in areas of Boundary Bay Warning comes after youth pulled out after sinking to his waist 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

Stay close to shore. That’s the warning Mayor Lois Jackson reiterated at a recent Delta council while talking about a scary incident for a youngster who found himself stuck in quicksand-like mud in Boundary Bay last month “Please stay safe and

close to shore. There are muddy areas around Boundary Bay that can be just like quicksand. The safest area to explore are the tidal flats in front of Centennial Beach. So this is a real important announcement for people who tend to travel far outside of the regular beach,” she said. Jackson commended the quick thinking of

Const. Derek Gallamore who responded to call of a youth stuck in quicksandlike mud near 12th Avenue and Boundary Bay Road. Police say the youth was approximately 100 metres from shore when he sank to his waist. Gallamore found a long piece of driftwood to use as a base and then tossed the rope out to the boy, instructing him to tie the

rope around his waist. “Then I told him to push on the long piece of driftwood as I pulled the rope,” Gallamore said after the incident. “Unfortunately the area was like quicksand. I also sank to my knees at one point.” Police also issued a reminder to the public that there are a number of areas in Boundary Bay that can be like quicksand.

With the assistance of the public, and a timely warning from a neighbouring police force, Delta police managed to be in the right place at the right time to prevent a youth in crisis from committing suicide Thursday. According to DPD, the incident occurred on the Alex Fraser Bridge. A passing driver alerted police to a distraught looking youth. Just prior to that call, another police force asked Delta officers to check for the youth on the bridge. “Our officers were lucky; they got there just in time,” said DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf. “It’s not something we’d usually speak about as we try to be very sensitive about how we approach mental health issues.” Leykauf added that police are taking the step of bringing this into the public eye due to highprofile news of two celebrity suicides. DPD wants to remind the public about the existence of the six yellow call boxes, located at the pedestrian entrances and middle of the bridge. The phones are in place for anyone who needs

help, and were installed last October in partnership with the Ministry of Transportation, the Crisis Line Association of BC and Telus. The phones connect the caller to either the Fraser Health Crisis Line or the Vancouver Distress Line for emotional support. At the time the phones were installed DPD noted they had responded to approximately 30 incidents specific to the Alex Fraser Bridge over five years. The day after the phones were installed DPD responded to a person calling for help from the one of the boxes. Though the phone wasn’t used in this specific instance, it was in use as recently as April. “The public has also played an important role in helping save lives in these instances – whether it is a passing motorist who notices something isn’t quite right, or someone who may be working on the bridge,” added Leykauf. The Fraser Health Crisis Line provides immediate, free and confidential emotional support, crisis intervention and community resource information to people of all ages 24 hours a day.

Angels allow dental clinic to help kids Gold from old crowns turns into big cash for BC Children’s Hospital Miracle Weekend telethon IAN JACQUES

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

A little dental work has gone a long way to help some of B.C.’s sick kids. Staff members at Ladner Dental Clinic presented a donation of more than $24,000 at the BC Children’s Hospital Miracle Weekend telethon. Dr. Kevin Spence, Dr. Carol Shpak and some of their staff were invited to be on Global BC, which broadcasted the telethon, to present the donation and tell the viewing audience a little bit about their story. “We have been doing this for years, but this year Children’s Hospital asked us to go on TV,” Spence said of the clinic’s time in the spotlight. Decked out in angel costumes complete with wings, the group presented the cheque saying that Ladner residents were the “real angels” to help them achieve this major fundraising effort. “This has been pretty much a routine for us for more than 30 years,” said

Spence. “When we remove old crowns from patients we ask them if they would like to keep them or donate them to our collection that is eventually refined.” Spence said the clinic

collected about $12,200 from the gold and then matched that to get to the $24,000-plus total. Over the years, Spence estimates the clinic has donated $50,000 to BC Children’s Hospital.

“This is all about our staff and the community of Ladner,” he said. “We are just so proud of our staff and the community for supporting this. Everyone in Ladner has just been amazing.”

He said BC Children’s Hospital is near and dear to the staff at the clinic. “BC Children’s has affected so many people in the office and our patients. We just feel it is such an important organization to

support.” Ladner Dental Clinic is now challenging all other dental clinics in B.C. to match or beat their fundraising efforts. The telethon raised a record $21 million.

St. David’s seniors benefit from Day of Caring volunteer effort Team from Sleep Country Canada builds shed to store scooters 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

An act of kindness from a group of Sleep Country Canada regional managers has given a group of Tsawwassen seniors a new lease on mobility, security and peace of mind. St. David’s House benefitted from the Day of Caring last Wednesday as Sleep Country Canada employees donated their time, talents and labour to help build a much-needed storage shed. St. David’s House is home to 19 seniors with an average age of 86. According to Tara Foote, who works at St. David’s, they were in the process of trying to create a space for residents to store their

scooters, but being a nonprofit, money was an issue, especially the labour, so Foote took to social media looking for assistance. She came across a post from Nick Judge, a regional manager for Sleep Country, who was offering the company’s services to aid non-profit organizations. Foote wrote to Judge with their story and he responded right away. “It all happened really fast,” said Foote. “Five of their managers were flying out to Vancouver for meetings later in the week, so they flew in Tuesday and were at our site Wednesday for nine hours.” She said having five volunteers provide free

labour and supplies was overwhelming. “They were just wonderful with our seniors. In fact, I had to tell them to go home because they had done so much. They were fantastic,” added Foote. “I can’t believe we have been given this gift.” Foote said when she returned to her office Thursday morning there was an email from Judge thanking the seniors. “I was just blown away by their generosity,” she said. “They were thanking us when we should be thanking them. We have a little finishing work to do, but we can easily afford that and it is work that we can do. In a few weeks our seniors will be able to drive in and out of the

It is just an amazing gift.” Judge, who is a Delta resident, said every year his team of regional managers looks at giving back as part of their yearly meetings. “Part of our benefit package is trying to give back to the community,” said Judge. “As the leaders of our company here in British Columbia, we try to lead by example. We usually try to kick off our managers’ meetings by going out, getting our hands dirty and give back a little bit. We had a fun day and we were happy to lend a hand.”

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY

aking every vote count doesn’t necessarily mean every voice is going to be heard. Now that the provincial government has given the go ahead to a fall referendum, voters will be inundated with information and opinions on various electoral systems as both political parties and interest groups try to make us see the light. Opponents to our current first past the post system say it’s unfair, pointing to the very real possibility of a party getting 100 per cent of the power even though it barely gets 40 per cent of the vote. A change from such an unjust system can’t come soon enough, say those who support a switch to some kind of proportional representation. Under PR we’re told that every vote counts, so if a party gets 10 per cent of the vote, it will get 10 per cent of the seats in the legislature. That is most certainly true, but is this redistribution of seats going to make a meaningful difference in the way we’re governed and are all voices suddenly going to be heard? Not really and absolutely not. Voters, and big chunks of them, would continue to be marginalized even with a switch to proportional representation, which really only moves the threshold for absolute power from the low 40 per cent range to 50 per cent where it belongs. If it had been in place for last year’s election, the Liberals and New Democrats would have ended up with 35 seats each and the Greens would have got about 15, which means a coalition would have been required to form government. In other words, we’d be exactly where we are today. Given only once in the last 60 years has a party received more than 50 per cent of the vote in a provincial election, what proportional representation would do is ensure we have minority governments that would necessitate these kinds of coalitions. Two, or more, parties working together would mean multiple viewpoints taken into account by government, which has to be considered a good thing, but once that coalition reaches the magical 50 per cent mark, all other parties, and perspectives, would be left on the outside looking in. There’s no denying proportional representation would divvy up the seats in a fairer way, but there’s a distinct difference between a seat and a voice.

Idle land needed so everyone can have a home of their own “When I’m old and gray, I want to have a house by the sea, and paint, with a lot of wonderful chums, good music, and booze around. And a damn good kitchen to cook in.” — Ava Gardner (for younger readers, she was a famous movie star in the 1940s). To my mind, Gardner’s mission statement is similar to my own. Yes, she could afford a grand house by the sea, but what she’s wanting is pretty basic and should be possible for all of us. Just change “house” to “home” which could be a cottage or apartment you own or rent. In Metro Vancouver we all live “by the sea.” As to painting, friends, music and booze, these perks are available to most of us, and so too is a kitchen to make good meals to share with our chums. I have a small galley-style kitchen but I can still create a smart meal for my peeps. My point being that without a place to call home, no matter how humble, the rest of Gardner’s list is not possible. Without the security of having or keeping your home, everything else is at risk — your job, your mental, physical and financial health. Renters are the most at risk for being displaced, but even owners of older homes in Vancouver are being forced to sell and leave their communities because their incomes cannot keep up with the

Community Comment ML BURKE

rising cost of land and other taxes. Yes, they may be leaving with a large chunk of change, but not through choice. The definition of “ghetto” is a part of a city occupied by a minority group or groups, but the irony here is that in our fear of creating ghettos for the homeless and displaced, Vancouver is actually becoming a ghetto for the ultra wealthy. Will we be a city where its long-term residents and workforce can only afford to visit as tourists? The $40-billion-plus earmarked for affordable housing over 10 years won’t have an impact for many years to come. The housing crisis is upon us now and growing by the day and the issue of “idle” land is emerging from the cobwebs. Simon Fraser University president Andrew Petter stated: “Canada’s public universities,

colleges and institutes have an obligation, as well as an opportunity, to harness the instruments at our disposal to the greatest extent possible to benefit the communities we serve. In addition to fulfilling our core educational and research mandates, we bear a responsibility as public institutions to exercise our full capacities as community builders, especially at a time when the needs are so great and the sources of social infrastructure are in such short supply.” Kudos to SFU, which has already delivered on this challenge through its Burnaby Mountain affordable, sustainable housing development, including an elementary school, childcare facilities and other social amenities. Hello City of Delta and Kwantlen Polytechnic University. You both own large sections of Paterson Park, the 24-acre site of “idle” land in Ladner. Since this is public land, you might collectively convene some workshops where we, the community, can share our best ideas. Maybe have a Paterson Park visioning competition. I know my chums and I would come. ML Burke retired from the health sector to work on issues such as affordable housing. She sits on the Delta Seniors Planning Team and the B.C. Seniors Advocate’s Advisory Council.

Density has its drawbacks

Editor: Re: Four-storey condo plan sent to public hearing, June 8 The article on the proposed 24-unit condo development at the corner of 51st Street and 47th Avenue reminded readers of an upcoming public hearing after preliminary approval by Delta council. Only a small population of “locals” live nearby with most adjacent properties as non-residential. I live across the street so any concerns or issues would directly impact my living

space. My neighbour was concerned about the height of the building blocking sky light and view, but was assured it would be the same height as their roof top. According to the article, our mayor expressed concerns about increase in density, which adds more vehicle traffic. Vehicle noise and light pollution are part of the trade-off when choosing the convenience of closeness to essential and recreational services.

Yes, the loss of 30-plus trees would make a lesser Delta Green, but perhaps the owner(s) of the development will have a green thumb, or at least allow the new unit owners to have one. When I chose to live on this beautiful spot along the Fraser River I was aware of changes that would profoundly affect my quality of life, such as natural flooding or earthquake liquefaction, but the density factor was down the list until now.

Hard to believe HST wasn’t adopted

Editor: Re: Transportation funding that doesn’t require road pricing, Community Comment, June 6 I think Brad Sherwin has hit the nail right on the head. Why the HST wasn’t adopted and maintained simply blows me away. Perhaps it was Bill Vander Zalm’s ill advice or

misunderstanding by the public that got it scuttled, but one way or the other it was the better option at the time and still is today. At 11.5 per cent combined with the possible reduction to 10 per cent, it would be, as Sherwin put it, a win-win, but maybe some folks can’t see beyond their noses. Certainly all the small

business folks would welcome the CST as it would reduce their administration costs with only having to remit one tax. And if we can convince Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to kick back in the $1.6-billion initial incentive offered then I think it would be a winwin-win situation for B.C. Richard Smyth

Flamenco dancers put on quite a show Editor: Tsawwassen has an internationally known flamenco dance instructor and company in the form of Beverley Mantovani and her Los Gitanos dance studio. They are delivering a flamenco celebration over three weeks at the Tsawwassen Legion and

the final performance is this Friday, June 15. Even if you know nothing about flamenco, the performance by this group is exciting. The dances are choreographed by Mantovani and the dancers carry out their performances with verve. I could not help but feel totally

engaged as both the dancing and the live music convey joyful energy. Kudos to Mantovani who has done an excellent job of training her dancers and who is a superb dancer herself. We are lucky to have such talent in our community. Anita den Dikken

Manners are a skill that needs constant practice Editor: Re: Rude encounter in lot is unlike Tsawwassen, letter to the editor, June 6 The letter follows a parallel incident witnessed last week at Tsawwassen’s Thrifty Foods. A newbie checkout clerk was berat-

ed loudly by an octogenarian upset that she had to wait for a slice of halibut at the fish counter. As the vocal grump exited still muttering to herself at immodest decibel levels, the store manager saw my bemused expression, smiled and

observed wisely: “Wish that the universe had me at its centre so I could act so self-important.” Amen to such crisp irony. Manners, like happiness, are not a state. They are a skill that needs constant practice. Wm. Baird Blackstone

System fails to deliver justice in fatal crashes

Editor: The tragic death of Olivia Malcom on Highway 17A recently will likely end up in a criminal court, especially if it is proven the driver in the Jeep that hit the car was impaired. But does our criminal justice system really work when people are killed in car crashes? Here are three examples that make you wonder: On April 5, 2016 there was collision in which an impaired Kenneth Fenton crashed his truck into the RCMP cruiser of Const. Sarah Beckett in a Langford intersection, killing her. She was 32 and the mother of two. One month after the Beckett crash Kenneth Fenton crashed again while impaired. Fenton is currently serving a four-year sentence for the Beckett crash and could qualify for full parole this November. Is four years in jail a fair and reasonable sentence for killing a person? On May 15, Michael Wing Sing Fan was suspended from driving for a year and fined $1,800 after cyclist Bradley Dean was killed while riding with a group in Richmond in November 2016. Fan was charged under the Motor Vehicle Act, not a criminal charge. Dean was 33 and never lived to see his unborn daughter. Is a one-year driving suspension and a fine a

fair and reasonable sentence for killing a person? On Nov. 14, 2015 at the intersection of West 41st Avenue and Oak Street Alphonsus Hui died after the driver of an Audi crashed into his Suzuki going an estimated 119 km/h. Just prior to the crash, the Audi driver, Ken Chung, had been estimated at travelling more than 140 km/h. Hui was 68 and the father of two. Chung, 37 was tried for dangerous driving causing death. He was acquitted on May 25. Judge Gregory Rideout concluded that “the momentariness of the accused’s conduct in excessively speeding is insufficient to meet the criminal fault component and he must be acquitted.” Two weeks before Chung was acquitted, he was in court on an unrelated charge of excessive speeding from 2017. Chung was found guilty for that 2017 offence. Judge Rideout seems to be saying that for a short moment in time Chung was excessively speeding but that was insufficient for a conviction. This is concerning. Is momentary speeding OK now? We see many advertising campaigns about the use of hands-free phones in vehicles to avoid that moment when you look at the cell phone on your lap and almost hit someone with your vehicle. Is it OK now to look at a cell phone while driving, if only for a moment? Will this “momentariness” now

become the standard legal defence for future cases in vehicle crashes? B.C. Prosecution Service is reviewing the Chung case to determine whether to seek an appeal. I don’t know if these three cases are typical of our justice system or if they are extraordinary. I do know these cases take years to conclude with hundreds of pages of testimony and expert witnesses. In these three cases I suggest none of them were accidents. Each driver made a poor decision with terrible results and accountability is needed. We don’t know all the details of the crash that killed Olivia Malcom or if a criminal case will result. I’m not a lawyer and I don’t need to be one to see that we need to change our criminal justice system when it comes to vehicle crashes resulting in death. We need to change the laws. A four-year sentence or a fine or acquittal is not acceptable when a person is killed. If you agree with me, please join me by writing or emailing Attorney General David Eby to encourage an appeal in the Chung case and to start the process of changing our laws. Email him now at AG.Minister@ gov.bc.ca There is also a petition on www.change.org created by Monique Hui, the daughter of Dr. Hui, that you can sign. You need to sign it by June 15. Keith Munro

Mayors would OK smaller bridge Editor: Re: Crossing analysis incomplete, letter to the editor, June 8 While the comments by Ian Robertson may be correct, they do not solve the initial problem, that is, that the George Massey Tunnel is a bottleneck. Whether or not it will be a bridge or an addition to the existing tunnel, relief is needed now. The current situation solves nothing; indeed,

it adds to the existing problem and that will not lessen over time. Interestingly, the mayor of one of the Lower Mainland municipalities told me that the mayors had no objection to a bridge; their objection was to the idea of a 10-lane one. The mayor said they would have accepted a six- or even an eight-lane bridge but not a 10-lane one. S.M. Cruickshank

Russell, still a Ladner resident, worked there from 1967 to 1969 while attending high school. “There wasn’t a lot of jobs in Ladner for high school kids. I felt myself to be very lucky that I had this job. Very fortunate,” she said. Russell, 66, said it was fun working there and that the DQ was in the middle of what was happening, noting guys would gather at the shopping centre

Too many hats make for difficult choice

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

It’s the same old drill whenever we go out. We’ll shut off the light in the kitchen. We’ll grab the keys from the hall. I’ll get

my purse, my shoes and my smart phone. And the husband will grab his hats. Yes, hats. As in plural. “Wait,” he’ll say, every single time. “This one? Or this one? Or how about this one?” The husband will proceed to perform a fashion show of sorts, awaiting my opinion. He’ll try on the blue and grey hockey hat. Then the green and white football hat. Then the

brown and yellow baseball hat. “Blue,” I’ll say. “Really?” he’ll ask. “What’s wrong with the green?” “OK,” I’ll say. “Green then.” “You think so?” he’ll wonder. “Not the brown?” The issue is not so much that the husband is afflicted with some type of ball cap vanity condition. The issue is that the husband owns, oh, several hundred

different hats. Or several dozen anyway. This strikes me as odd, given that the husband does not have several dozen heads. He has just the one, and can wear just one hat at a time. Also odd, given that the husband would probably not even consider himself a hat collector, not in the way that some people collect coins or stamps or garden gnomes. He just, well, sees a hat — and he

buys it. In our house, there are hats everywhere: in the hall closet, in the bedroom closet, in the furnace room, in the laundry room. If there was any room in the pantry, I’m sure they’d be there too. In a perfect world — make that, a perfect house — we would have a dedicated hat room, where the caps would be sorted according to colour, style and fit.

Alas, that’s not about to happen, since we need our rooms for other purposes. Like sleeping, say. And bathing. For the foreseeable future then, it will be status quo. The hats will be everywhere. And four or five will be pulled out whenever we leave the house, just so I can provide my opinion. Not really sure why he asks for it, though. He’s always the one to decide.

Delta Film Academy has created a range of films this school year. The work will be showcased at an event this Friday at Equinox Theatre in Tsawwassen.

Film academy students’ work will be featured at showcase DAVE WILLIS

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

Delta Film Academy students will show off their work at a Red Carpet Showcase Gala this Friday. About 25 films will be shown, including a selection of this year’s work, and will end with a screening of a collaborative halfhour short film entitled Tripped Up, which can be described as Mean Girls

meets Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, explains Delta Film Academy coordinator Jennifer Harbott. The films range in story format from abstract to linear, dramatic to comedic, and explore themes of community, creativity, focus, challenge and trust, she adds. “I am really proud of the group of filmmakers, actors and artists that have developed this year. With

every project and task they have wrestled and pushed through what was at first ‘hard’ and created stories that are powerful and entertaining,” says Harbott. The event will be held at South Delta Secondary’s Equinox Theatre. There will be refreshments at 6:30 p.m. while screenings start at 7 p.m. Admission is free with donations accepted at the door.

Bill Thornton of BC & Alberta Guide Dogs receives a $12,100 donation from Charlene Fekeshazy, founding chair of 100WomenVan.

100 Women pick guide dogs

100 Women Who Care Vancouver selected Deltabased BC & Alberta Guide Dogs to receive a $12,100 donation at a recent meeting at Steamworks Brew Pub in Gastown. Bill Thornton, CEO and founder of BC & Alberta Guide Dogs, told those at the meeting how guide dogs help those with autism, highlighting how one family was finally able to enjoy time together vacationing in Disneyland with the help of their guide

dog. 100WomenVan, a membership-based group of like-minded diverse women, is committed to making an immediate, direct and positive effect on the lives of neighbours. The group meets four times a year and each quarter three charitable organizations nominated by members are randomly selected to pitch the programs and/or services for which they require funding. Members vote, then

write a $100 cheque on the spot. One hundred per cent goes to charity as there are no administration fees. BC & Alberta Guide Dogs breeds, raises and professionally trains guide dogs for individuals who are visually impaired and autism support dogs for children with moderate to profound autism. It takes two years and upwards of $35,000 to produce one certified dog, provided free of charge to the recipient.

An average freight train is about 4,000 times heavier than your car. Stay Safe. When driving near railroad tracks, always obey all posted signs and signals, and follow a few simple rules: Do not pass other vehicles near a crossing. Your view of the tracks may be obstructed or your speed may be too great to stop. Avoid stalls. Many crossings are on raised surfaces so shift gears ahead of or after the crossing to avoid getting stuck on the tracks. If your vehicle is stuck on a crossing, get out quickly and move away at a 45 degree angle. Call 911 or the listed emergency number.

Come down and check out the creativity used by the kart builders.

At BNSF Railway, we’re proud to have one of the lowest grade crossing collision rates in the industry. And we’re committed to working with the communities we serve to make grade crossing even safer.

Making Waves in & out of the pool

Ladner synchronized swimmer Keily Hutt thriving in the water & classroom MARK BOOTH

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

Keily Hutt is thriving in the water and in the classroom. The Grade 8 student at Delta Secondary School is looking to land a spot on B.C.’s synchronized swim team that will be competing at the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer next February. Hutt will be attending training camps throughout the summer as one of 16 athletes shortlisted for the team. Her status comes after a terrific season with the Pacific Wave Synchronized Swim Club. Hutt was aged up to be a member of a junior team that surprised all with a top 10 showing at the Canadian Championships in Windsor back in April. Hutt was honoured to be swimming next to much more experienced athletes even though she was initially intimated. “It was nerve racking to be on a team with older girls,” she smiled. “They have been swimming so much longer than me but by the end of the season I felt we really were a team of one. It was really exciting to make (national) finals with them.” Over the past 10 months, Hutt also worked hard on her solo performances thanks to a rigorous schedule. She trained seven days a week and often left Watermania at 10 p.m. each night, following team sessions, and returned at 6 a.m. the next morning for at least 90-minutes of solo work. With her for each and every one of those early morning practices was Pacific Wave assistant coach Candace Kalin. “Keily is probably the hardest

Ladner’s Keily Hutt is not only a prospect for Team B.C. in synchronized swimming but also a straight ‘A’ student at Delta Secondary School. working athlete we have. This was her first year doing solo and she started not so sure of herself and came out of it pretty confident,” said Kalin. “I have seen just so many improvements, mental wise and physical. She has grown into an amazing athlete and there is a bright future for her.” Hutt’s success in the pool goes with also being a straight ‘A’ student. She was able to turn what would have been her Grade 8 PE class into a spare since she is already training everyday. She

uses the study block to take care of her homework before heading to Watermania after school. It was waiting for her brother’s swimming lesson to finish one day at the Richmond pool when she became intrigued watching a Pacific Wave training session. Over the past five years it has developed into her passion. “I was actually scared to put my head underwater at first as I always thought there were sharks in the vent,” she laughed. “But I really enjoy the drive and deter-

mination it requires. I like how it challenges me so much and even pushes me past my limits.” Kalin added the morning training sessions are somewhat new to the club and she couldn’t think of a better swimmer to be training. “It’s just a pleasure to work with her. School and sports is always really hard to balance and Keily has proven you can do it. She is an amazing athlete and student.” For more on Pacific Wave visit www.pacificwavesynchro.ca.

A golden debut for Allan at Karate Canadian Open

Ladner’s Charlie Allan made his debut at the Canadian Open Karate Championships a memorable one, winning gold in his Novice Kata age group.

It has taken Charlie Allan little time to thrive in his newfound passion. It was back in the fall when the Grade 4 Hawthorne Elementary student decided to join Ladner Karate. Months later, he was on top of the podium at the recent Second Annual Canadian Open Karate Championships at the Richmond Olympic Oval. Allan captured gold in the Kata (movements) nine-yearold male division. The twoday tournament, hosted by Karate B.C. and sanctioned by Karate Canada, is one of the largest of its kind in North

America. Other divisions of competition included Intermediate, Advanced, Elite, Team Kata, Kobudo (weapons) and ParaKarate. Ladner Karate trains out of the Odd Fellows Hall on Ladner Trunk Road. Twice weekly sessions are divided into two age groups — Juniors (ages 7-to-12) on Wednesdays (7 p.m.) and Saturdays (9 a.m.) and Teens/ Adults on Wednesdays (8 p.m.) and Saturdays (10 a.m.).

There was plenty of homegrown talent contributing to success during the recent club volleyball season at the provincial and national championships. The Seaside Surf enjoyed a historic run that included the Semiahmoo/ Peninsula club’s first-ever B.C. title at the 18U boys level, followed by a silver medal finish at the Canadian Championships in Edmonton. Seaside featured Delta Secondary grads Keaton Mann and Jordan Payne, along with Tsawwassen’s Teo Ardanaz. Seaside’s 17U boys team also reached the podium at the 18U provincials, outlasting Lake Country in three sets to earn bronze. The Six Pack’s roster included Delta Pacer Grade 11 standouts Jagger Schurman and Gavin Payne. The boys were guided by DSS grads Spencer Kyte and Steve Chaisson. Finally, Delta’s Element Volleyball Club captured silver at provincials, competing at the 16U boys Division Two level. The team was guided by DSS teacher Andrew Robson with five of his students on the roster — Levi Froude, Tyler Rooyakkers, Connor McIntosh, Tyler McIntosh, and Tyler Semler. Seaside U18’s podium finishes capped a memory journey for a group of players that have been together for the past six years, includ-

both play and results every season, a testament to the work ethic of these guys in training. It was tough to come up just short of our goal, and tears were shed, but they were shed out of the love we felt for one another and in seeing this all come to an end rather than because we lost,” said Dooley. Mann was a standout at DSS, who played last season at Douglas College. At the net… Robson will be hosting his second annual Delta Volleyball Camp in August at Delta Secondary. The camp is slated for Aug. 27-30 and will be divided into two age groups — Grade 6-to-8 and Grades 9-10. For more information and to register email arobson@deltasd.bc.ca.

At the Olympic Oval in Richmond, the Surf dropped the opening set of the championship match to the Fraser Valley Volleyball Club then rallied to pull even. A dramatic final set followed with Seaside pulling out the provincial gold triumph on a kill from Ardanaz. In Edmonton, Seaside captured their pool group thanks to a win over defending national champion Nooks Volleyball Club from the host city. After getting past Prince George in the quarterfinals and another Alberta team — FO Volleyball — in the semis, the Surf fell to Mississauga’s Pakmen Volleyball Club in the championship match. “We have shown improvements in

MUNDEN, Sheila Ann (Hanbury) May 13, 1952 June 2, 2018 . She passed away suddenly at Delta Hospital on Saturday June 2, 2018, with her loving family by her side. Born in Calgary, Alberta, Sheila was a prairie girl at heart and spent much of her youth in Dauphin, Manitoba before moving to Coquitlam, BC, with her family. It was while working at a bank in Coquitlam where she met the love of her life, Barry Munden, who was mesmerized by her strawberry blonde hair and smile. It wasn’t long before Barry and Sheila made it official and wed on October 14, 1972. Soon after Sheila and Barry settled in Tsawwassen, along with her loving parents William and Janice Hanbury, and younger brother Grant. A devoted mother and wife, Sheila left her career to dedicate herself to raising her family and working part-time to support her father’s expanding business. Fiercely loyal and protective of her clan, she suffered with debilitating arthritis for decades, yet always took care of her family first, including caring for her parents in their later years. She cherished annual family reunions in Parksville, BC, and loved to dine out with family and friends. Sheila is survived by her dear husband Barry, two sons, Jason (Faby) and Scott, daughter Lauren, along with her grandchildren Alejandra and Anna, both of whom she adored. She is also survived by her brother, Grant (Michelle), as well as her loving nieces and nephew (Nicolle, Claire, Devan and John). Her kindness, feistiness, sweet disposition and dark sense of humour will be remembered and forever cherished. At her request, no service will be held. A private family internment will take place. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Delta Hospital Foundation. Online Condolences may be offered at www.deltafuneral.ca Delta Funeral Home (604) 946-6040
