Artist Dave Stevens is honoured as he prepares to leave Delta for Nanaimo

Enterprising cops pluck ducklings from Delta storm drain

‘The hole that’s left is huge’

here’s a wall in a small office space in North Delta, which would be as plain as any other office wall if it wasn’t coloured with a hand-painted map of the region. The green and mustard tones of the mural were brushed on by Dave Stevens, a beloved artist who has lived and taught in the area for over 30 years. At the end of the month, he will be moving with his wife Diane to Nanaimo, where they will continue their life journey closer to their children and grandchildren. The office with the muraled wall belongs to Ravi Kahlon, the MLA for Delta North, who honoured Stevens’s contributions to the community alongside friends and fellow artists on Monday, June 17. “I know you don’t like these kind of things, but I wanted to recognize you for the contribution that you made to the arts community, to Delta.” Kahlon said. “When I got elected, the first thing I did was reach out to you and say, I need this office to become North Delta, and you helped me with that, and so I’m grateful. “We’re all very grateful, so I wanted to present you with a small certificate of recognition for your contributions to our community.” Stevens said it just seemed natural to make the arts more visible and more a part of North Delta. “Teaching in the schools was kind of the first thing, and then seeing that there really wasn’t much out there once the kids graduated,” he said. “So, getting involved with the arts council, and then doing the Stomp and being involved with Watershed [Gallery] and all of those things just seemed normal and natural.” Over the years, Stevens’s engagements with the cultural fabric of his community have been numerous. He’s one of the original organizers of the annual Delta Studio Stomp, an event where local artists open their workshop doors to the public; several of his artworks have been featured in public displays; and he’s volunteered his art teach-

But his impact also extends beyond the region. Several of his students – including Stephen Waddel, Sonny Assu and Noah Choy – have gone on to become notable artists and educators in their own right. By the time he began studying art at Langara College in 1972, Stevens had known he wanted to be an artist for quite some time, but he didn’t considered teaching it until being encouraged by one of his instructors. After completing a four-year secondary arts teaching degree at UBC, and marrying his wife Diane in 1977, Stevens got an unlikely start to his educational career – in prison. His first job teaching art was at Matsqui Institution, a medium-security prison in Abbotsford. With the experience of trying to teach woodworking with missing carving tools, now firmly under his belt, Dave made the move to North Delta, picking up work as a teacher on call in 1982. He then taught for six years in South Delta before returning to North Delta Secondary to teach for the remainder of his career, from 1990 to 2012. Stevens said his approach to teaching, rather than prescribing rigid learning outcomes, has always been to facilitate. “I always felt they came already

formed; all I was doing was kind of facilitating by encouraging,” he said. “I’d just try to arrange shows, or provide materials or encouragement – give them feedback: ‘That’s not good enough. Maybe push it this way or that way?’ or, ‘Why are you doing this?’” Many have noted that Steven’s calm, confident demeanour made him a natural teacher and motivational leader in the local arts scene.

“How do you replace somebody who is central to so much of what has happened with the visual arts around here? It’s hard.” “How do you replace somebody who is central to so much of what has happened with the visual arts around here? It’s hard,” said Wayne Turner, a friend and local photographer, whose work is also displayed on the walls of Kahlon’s office. The two of them got to know each other working on the arts council, when it still existed. Turner helped found the Delta Studio Stomp with Stevens. Even after retiring, Turner said Stevens would return to the school he taught at to paint sets for their productions.

Stevens understands that art can build and strengthen the fabric of a community, Kahlon said, and when he saw how much Stevens was engaged with North Delta and its youth, he wanted art to be the first thing people saw when they stepped into his office. “He painted this mural, which helps put our historical context to this space. And so it’s kind of pivotal,” he said. “Everyone comes in, the first thing they see is Dave Stevens’s work, so when I heard the sad news that he was leaving, I was – you know, I think as you can see, all the people here are pretty sad that he’s leaving.” “There is a legacy there. And we certainly hope that you come back often and visit because I think now a little bit more work needs to be done by everybody else.” “More than a little, Ravi. The hole that’s left is huge,” Turner added. While Dave and Diane Stevens said they’re looking forward to publishing more books together, spending time with family and integrating with the arts community on the island, they’ll miss their time in North Delta. You can’t replace the connections you’ve made with people after living 32 years in the area, Diane said. “On every errand you run – oh, there’s a former student, ‘Hi, Mr. Stevens,’” she said. “It’s an easy group to care about and to love.”

Delta police rescued five of six ducklings found in a storm drain along Highway 17 on June 21, after receiving a call from a concerned citizen. Due to the depth of the drains, the officers commandeered lacrosse sticks to reach the ducklings on Friday night. Four of the ducklings were removed without issue and placed in a storage bin, the department wrote in a Facebook post. However, two of the ducklings tried to escape from the lacrosse stick. After a “brief foot pursuit” by the police canine unit and patrol officers, one of the rogue ducklings was recaptured and reunited with its siblings. Unfortunately, the other duckling that tried to escape dove back into the storm drain and never resurfaced. “A thorough rescue attempt was conducted but the duckling was never located and is presumed deceased,” the post said. “Next of kin notifications were conducted with the five remaining siblings. Victim Services was declined.” After “extensive patrols” for the mother duck proved unsuccessful, police transported the five surviving ducklings to the Delta Community Animal Shelter.

The Cougar Creek Streamkeepers are reminding North Delta residents that all storm drains – marked with a yellow fish or not – empty into a salmon stream. The reminder comes after a woman out on a walk along the creek on June 22 photographed an unknown milky substance in the water. While the source of the spill has not been located, Streamkeeper Deborah Jones estimated that the substance entered a storm drain around Sunshine Hills, then flowed to a storm sewer outfall near Westview Drive and into the creek. “There are currently thousands of tiny wild coho salmon fry in Cougar Creek, that hatched early this year and will – if they survive

A woman on a walk near North Delta’s Cougar Creek photographed an unknown milky substance in the water on June 22. SUBMITTED PHOTO – head out to the ocean in spring 2020,” said Jones. “One of the greatest threats to their survival is creek pollution caused by uninformed or careless residents pouring or hosing toxic substances down storm drains.” Jones said polluted water includes dirty water from car washing, power washing, hosing of wet concrete and

pumping of foundation excavations. “Even drainage from hot tubs and swimming pools can be lethal to salmon and other aquatic life, due to the chlorine and bromine used as disinfectants,” she said. “Divert all these water sources into your landscaping, or into the sewage system via a drain in a sink or tub.”

Delta police are appealing for any witnesses to a recent fatal crash on Deltaport Way to come forward. The crash involving two semi-trailers in the 3500block of Deltaport Way happened at about 9:45 a.m. on Thursday, June 13.

If you build it, they will come. Community representatives, church volunteers and homelessness advocates met on June 19 to discuss Delta’s only extreme weather shelter, which has operated the past two winter seasons at Ladner United Church. “Delta had zero shelters up until three years ago,” Delta corporate social planner Gillian McLeod said at the meeting. “It’s like the line from that famous movie [Field of Dreams]: ‘If you build it, they will come.’” Open for 69 nights with 64 stays for the 2017/2018 season, the extreme weather shelter was open for 88 nights with 174 stays in 2018/2019. The shelter, which can hold up to 11 adults and offers shower and laundry facilities, was open for a total of 39 consecutive nights both times. The numbers signify that the need for such a shelter remains strong, especially as word spreads among people in need and the advocates who are constantly working to identify those who may need help, McLeod said. Shelter clients include the homeless as well as people

When activated, the alerts kick-start an action team funded by BC Housing that includes Surrey-based Options Community Services and shelter co-ordinator Shirley Baker. “It also helps the community and outreach workers connect with those who might need a little extra help. It’s not just a place you stay for one night; it could be a new beginning, the next step or connection for those who might need help finding a job or permanent housing or with getting treatment.” June’s meeting was held as

a review and planning session for the coming winter. McLeod and Baker both noted how generous the community of Delta has been, with people constantly dropping off donations, especially small-denomination gift cards to places like McDonald’s, Save-On Foods or Subway. “The shelter is open from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. so when (clients) leave in the morning, we want them to be able to have a hot cup of coffee or something to eat somewhere that’s warm and dry,” Baker said. “When it’s zero [degrees] out there, it can feel a lot colder than zero.” McLeod is hoping this winter the shelter can open earlier – at 7 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. “We really believe the community needs this and will continue to rally around it with their support.”

We’re still waiting for our thriving cannabis industry

Surrey Mayor Doug McCallum operates an excavator for a ‘ceremonial hit’as hundreds were treated to a pyrotechnics show during Saturday’s demolition event party for the former Flamingo Hotel in Whalley. The building is being demolished so the site can be redeveloped into multiple residential towers. Photo: Lauren Collins

t’s been nearly six years since, speaking at a Kelowna rally, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced he would rather see cannabis legalized instead of just decriminalized. Back then he was just plain old Justin, on the campaign trail trying to garner votes and reinvigorate the federal Liberal party. Two years later, the Liberals cruised back to power on that promise and others. The Liberals defaulted on their promise to reform the electoral system, and you have to wonder if the promise of legal recreational cannabis is going to be substantially complete before the next federal election, this fall. It’s not entirely the Liberals’ fault that we’ve yet to see a thriving cannabis industry. Though it took three years – three months later than the July 1, 2018 date first promised – they did deliver on the legislation last October. But even though they had those three years, provincial and local governments didn’t really get started on their own legislation until, effectively, the last minute. So far, relatively few cannabis retailers have been able to open across Canada. Notably, the first to open in B.C. was a provincial government-operated store in Kamloops. But most of the many applications from hopeful private retailers in the Okanagan and around the province are still waiting for the dual approval they need from the province and their municipal government.

It’s not that getting a licence to sell cannabis should be easy. It shouldn’t, and there are countless obstacles and social issues that need to be dealt with. But with three years warning, there is little excuse for provincial and local governments not to have been better prepared to resolve those problems and implement legalization, which was a popular idea long before the Liberals decided to run with it. After all, cannabis has been effectively legal for a long time. It’s just that all the money generated by the industry was going into the pockets of criminals instead of generating taxes. Governments should have had frameworks, laws and bylaws ready to go by the time legalization legislation dropped, only needing fine tuning to match the fed’s ideas. By now, most of the applications should have been either approved or denied, with private operators starting to add to local and provincial economies, and driving the black market farther underground. You would think governments didn’t want the tax money that cannabis retail stores are going to generate. Black Press Media

dreams before. In 1997, during his first term as mayor he pitched Whalley as a site for the Molson Indy. But it was not to be. He also championed a campaign in 2000 to have the PNE relocated to Bridgeview. This too did not come to pass. McCallum is not alone when it comes to “outside the box” ideas. His predecessor, former Surrey mayor Linda Hepner, took it on the chin after announcing in 2014 she’d like to see a big ferris wheel built in Bridgeview. She referenced it last September – four years later – in her final State of the City address. “Don’t ever say you want a ferris wheel,” Hepner told her audience, indulging in some good clean self-deprecation. “Maybe a small carousel, or to be even safer, stick to a pony ride, but not a ferris wheel,” she advised. “Even though the best cities in the world do all seem to have them.”

orth Delta celebrated its 52nd annual Family Day festival on June 23, beginning with the parade down 112th Street and 84th Avenue. From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., bagpipers, flag bearers, dancers and drivers, including the driver of the Vancouver Giants “fanboni,” entertained hundreds of commu-

nity members who had lined the roads to watch. The parade ended at the North Delta Community Park, where festival-goers enjoyed barbecue and activities, such as a dunk tank and live music. The festival was hosted by the North Delta Lions Club. Karissa Gall

Saturday’s swansong Ride2Survive raised more than $1 million for a cancer-related cause. The 15th and final fundraiser of its kind saw close to 150 brave cyclists pedal from Kelowna to Delta in a single day, during an annual event designed to reflect a typically hard day in the life of a cancer patient in treatment. Starting at around 3 a.m. in the Okanagan city, the cyclists rolled southwest over the next 20-something hours – a gruelling experience for all involved, through whatever Mother Nature throws their way. It was cold on the Coquihalla at times, and some headwinds slowed the cyclists on their way to the Lower Mainland. At around midnight, the finish line was at Cap’s South Shore Cycle, on Scott Road near 80th Avenue. Videos and photos are posted to the event’s Facebook page. A small army of volunteers, including cyclists and support crew, has raised more than $8 million since it all began as a much smaller fundraiser in the mid-2000s. On Monday (June 24), the event’s website showed a total of $1,062,387 raised during the 2019 ride. For event founders Kerry and Vicki Kunzli, who live in North Delta, and other volunteers who plan the annual event, the time has come to close this chapter of their lives. “The logistical challenges of doing the ride are getting fragile, with all of it,” Kerry Kunzli said before Saturday’s final ride. “It’s bittersweet,” he added, “because I was there for the first one and all the way through.” The initiative will live on as a “fundraising bike club,” Kerry noted. “Many riders still want to be part of this,” he said. “We’ll still do banquets and pole sits, raffles and fundraisers, whether we ride from Kelowna or around the block. It’s a long ride, and a lot of people still want to ride with the club. It’ll be community club – a fundraising club with a cycling problem,” he added with a laugh. Kerry said “it’s been quite a ride,” in more ways than one. “It blows us away when we start thinking back what’s taken place here.”

Surrey’s Luka Burzan selected in sixth round of NHL draft Tom Zillich Black Press Media

It took a year longer than he wanted, but Luka Burzan has been selected in the NHL Entry Draft. At Vancouver’s Rogers Arena on Saturday (June 22), in the sixth round of the draft, the Surrey-raised forward was picked 171st overall by Colorado Avalanche. At that very moment, Burzan was out for a drive in Kelowna, not far from the home where he now lives. “I was watching the draft on TV with my dad and brother, and once it got to the sixth round I was a bit nervous, so I went for a drive,” Burzan said. “A bit later my cousin called me and told me I got picked. I was five minutes from my house, so I drove back there. I was really happy.” Burzan, 19, has spent the last three seasons in the Western Hockey League with Brandon Wheat Kings and Moose Jaw Warriors. Heading into the NHL Entry Draft a year ago, Burzan was ranked 58th by the International Scouting Service (ISS), and NHL Central Skating had him pegged 91st among North American skaters. But no team picked him in June of 2018, giving Burzan plenty of motivation to show his stuff over the past hockey season with the Wheat Kings. And so, in the 2018-19 year, the six-foot-one Burzan scored 78 points (40 goals,

38 assists) in 68 games for Brandon. On Monday morning, Burzan was at the airport in Vancouver waiting to board a flight for Denver and a development camp hosted by the Avalanche. “They haven’t told me anything about a plan (for next hockey season), but I’ll probably be back in Brandon to start,” Burzan said. “They’ll be a good team (in Colorado), with a lot of good players,” he added, “and I’m excited to be in that mix and do whatever it takes to be there.” It’s been a good week for Burzan, who on Wednesday was among 43 players invited to wear the Maple Leaf at Canada’s National Junior Team Sport Chek Summer Development Camp, held from July 27 to Aug. 4 in Plymouth, Mich. Also named to that camp was Bowen Byram, the Vancouver Giants defenceman picked fourth overall by the Avalanche. Burzan and Byram were among 28 WHL players selected at the 2019 NHL Draft in Vancouver. Giants

goaltender Trent Miner was also picked by the Avalanche (202nd overall, seventh round). “Since the 1967 NHL Amateur Draft,” a WHL press release noted, “a total of 2,048 players have been selected out of the WHL, including 315 first-round selections. Of the 71 players selected across the Canadian Hockey League at the 2019 NHL Draft, 28 came from the WHL.” Meantime, the Vancouver Canucks picked nine players in the draft held at their home arena. At 10th overall, the local NHL club grabbed Russian right-winger Vasily Podkolzin, followed by left-winger Nils Hoglander (40th overall), left wing Ethan Keppen (122nd), centre Carson Focht (133rd), goalie Arturs Silovs (156th), right wing Karel Plasek (175th), right wing Jack Malone (180th), left wing Aidan Mcdonough (195th) and centre Arvid Costmar (215th). Podkolzin, 17, finished the season playing for Neva St. Petersburg in Russia’s second league, recording five points (2-3-5) in 14 games.

CYCLING

Tour de Delta race hits city streets Friday, July 5 Tom Zillich Black Press Media

Kendall Ryan sure likes racing in Delta, judging by her recent results. The Ventura, California-based cyclist won all three of the Tour de Delta races last summer, and will look to repeat the feat when the event returns on

the first weekend in July. In the summer of 2018, Ryan’s success in Delta kicked off a run that saw her win five times and reach the podium six times during BC Superweek. Held at sites around Metro Vancouver, the annual six-race series kicks off with Tour de Delta (from July 5 to 7) and ends

with Tour de White Rock (July 13 and 14). Now in its 19th year, the Tour de Delta event opens with the North Delta Community Festival and criterium on Friday, July 5. That evening, on a rectangle-shaped route, cyclists will ride a 1.2-kilometre loop around the “social heart” of North Delta,

with the start/finish line at 84th Avenue, west of 114th Street. Events in North Delta include family-friendly entertainment, games and more at Richardson Elementary and North Delta Social Heart Plaza. More information about BC Superweek is posted at bcsuperweek.ca.
