DPDlaunchesteamtostopgangviolence Investigation into May 1 shooting at North Delta’s Scottsdale Mall continues 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

With an increase in gang violence throughout the Lower Mainland in recent weeks, including a brazen, deadly shooting May 1 at a North Delta mall, Delta Police are stepping up enforcement in an effort to stop further violence in the community.

Last weekend, the department launched a new team focused on intercepting potential gang or related activity, and acting as a deterrent, through a high profile presence in public spaces such as along Scott Road and at popular restaurants.

The launch of this new team is part of the department’s three-pronged approach – interdiction, investigation and prevention.

“We’ve had good early feedback on the new team,” said DPD Chief Neil Dubord.

“Specifically, we heard from restaurant managers and staff, as well as patrons, who welcomed the high visibility approach. The public often wonders if we know who the gangsters are, or know their family members and associates. Yes, we do. Unfortunately, Delta is not immune from the gang conflict. Gangsters and associates might travel through

A new Delta Police team began May 15, targeting gang related activity. Enforcement includes checks of curfews and conditions.

Delta, or they and family members may live here. Our analysts work closely with intelligence experts from across Metro Vancouver to share information and make sure we are well-informed on the movements of gang members.”

DPD say officers stepped up visits to locations where gang members are known to frequent, and made some informative stops last weekend.

Those who must abide by curfews and conditions are being checked regularly, say DPD.

Police also share information on known gangsters with restaurants and other businesses through the department’s Inadmissible Patron Program.

Officers continue to promote this program and work with the community to let gangsters know they are not welcome.

Although DPD are part of the integrated Police Dog Services unit, Delta has its own Specialty Dog Unit. These dogs can sniff out firearms, ammunition and drugs. The dogs are now working with part of the

new high-visibility team, and will be called when suspicious drivers are pulled over.

Dubord said with the May 1 shooting, the department expedited the implementation of this new specialized team, which was to take place later this year.

“We heard loud and clear that people had some anxiety around public safety within our community and I think everyone was impacted by that shooting,” said Dubord.

Although this new team

We are looking forward to getting you back on the road safely.

was launched in North Delta, Dubord said residents should also expect to see a higher visibility of officers in South Delta.

“We have seen most of the activity in North Delta, but that doesn’t mean South Delta is immune,” he said. “The drug culture, which this centres around, is in all of our communities whether that is North or South Delta. We know there will be gangsters who will travel through both communities, so there will be resources in South Delta as well.”

DPD continues to devote significant resources into the May 1 homicide investigation of BC Corrections Officer and Surrey resident Bikramdeep Randhawa, which occurred at the Scottsdale Centre Mall.

Dubord said 40 full-time officers are investigating the shooting and are still looking at three potential avenues as motives – personal life, professional life and total mistaken identity.

“We have not determined any one of those yet. We have pieces of evidence that are directing us towards whatever the end result may be, but it is still very active and we are still collecting, looking at video and analyzing evidence from the scene,” said Dubord.

NewBCDCdatarevealsmoreDelta-specific COVIDnumbersbreakingdowncity’sregions SANDOR GYARMATI & IAN JACQUES

The B.C. Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC) has released more detailed COVID-19 case information on a community level within municipalities, something the City of Delta had been requesting since the start of the pandemic last year.

The BCCDC, on the COVID-19 section of its website, is now providing spread sheets and colourful maps which shows high transmission areas, weekly positivity rates and other data.

The information can be viewed by clicking on the new CHSA maps: COVID-19 case rate, testing and vaccination coverage link and also the new weekly data summary link where viewers can download spread sheet data.

A colour coded map of hot spots indicates that numbers are down overall in Delta, North Delta remains a hot spot for infections, while Tsawwassen has one of the lowest rates of infections in the Lower Mainland.

The data indicates that North Delta, from May 4 to 10, had an average daily rate, per 100,000, of 33.1, down only 3.4 from the previous week, with a testing positivity rate of 14.9.

Meanwhile, Ladner had an average daily

MAP COURTESY BCCDC

North Delta remains a hot spot for COVID-19 infections, while Tsawwassen has one of the lowest rates of infections in the Lower Mainland. The map and numbers reflect up to May 13. rate of 4.2, per 100,000, down almost 11 from the previous week, and Tsawwassen had an average daily rate of 2.3, per 100,000, down 4.6 from the previous week.

The testing positivity rate was 3.4 per cent for Ladner and 1.1 per cent for Tsawwassen.

North Delta was declared a hot spot where anyone 40 and over could book a vaccine appointment immediately, but recently the eligibility was further lowered to 30 years and over and now again lowered for residents 18 and over.

The North Delta community, at 82 per cent, was behind Ladner (86 per cent) and

Tsawwassen (85 per cent) when it came to the percentage of the population 55 and over who have received a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine.

North Delta was also behind Ladner and Tsawwassen when it came to the percentage of those 18 and over who received a first dose.

Delta council, on several occasions, has requested more detailed community-specific information from Fraser Health and the BCCDC, stating the information was needed to know where to better direct resources.

“It’s very good…I wish we would have had it from the very beginning. It would have

allowed us to make different decisions. We made decisions based on all of Delta, which we were very uncomfortable doing and this data showed we needed an individual breakdown,” said Mayor George Harvie. “Our communities are very distinct.

When you look back, we probably would have made different recommendations to council on closures and not having the whole city closed at the same time, just the hot spots and that is what we really missed… the hot spots, but saying that, we can’t look at the past, we have to move forward.”

Harvie noted the city is doing an extensive social

media campaign at the request of Fraser Health CEO Dr. Victoria Lee, impressing upon all residents the importance of getting vaccinated.

“It will be a message in two forms – all of Delta because we still have cases in South Delta, but we will have a greater presence in North Delta, again, taking advantage of the data and where I should be spending my time and be spreading more messaging,” he said.

Harvie added Delta had to fight to get a vaccine centre in North Delta and wonders if the city would have had to push for that if the data would have been more readily available.

Fraser Health outlines COVID-19 clusters in schools 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

All the cases of COVID-19 clusters in local schools occurred in North Delta.

That’s according to a new Fraser Health report which provides a few numbers breaking down cases of the virus, including variants of concern, transmitted within schools in the region.

The FHA notes the report covers COVID19 cluster and outbreak cases reported to Public Health from Jan. 1 to March 7, 2021.

The study period ended just before COVID-19 cases province-wide went into record-high daily numbers.

The report covered students and staff who attended K-12 public and independent schools in the region, indicating that, overall, there had been a total of 2,049 overall school-associated

cases reported.

The health region notes that represents less than one per cent of the total estimated staff and school population in Fraser region.

The report also notes 19.6 per cent of COVID19 cases were associated with a confirmed cluster or outbreak.

Those involved 115 confirmed clusters in 96 schools, involving 347 cases.

Cluster sizes tended to be limited to two cases, although one outbreak in one school involved 54 cases.

The FHA also noted 72.8 per cent of clusters were attributed to introduction of COVID into schools by students, while staff are known to be involved in 42.4 per cent of transmission events.

Approximately eight per cent of in-school transmission in confirmed clusters were associated with variants

of concern cases.

The report also noted that of the 267 cases that were likely, or possibly, acquired from school, 88 (4.3 per cent of all school-associated cases) led to household/community transmission, and mostly within the household, while 87 per cent of school-associated cases were acquired in the household or community.

As far as the directionality of known in-school transmission events within confirmed clusters, the health region notes 125 cases involved direct student-to-student transmission, which included 17 cases of variants of concern.

There were 27 cases of student-to-staff transmission, which include one variant of concern case.

There were also 23 staff-to-staff transmissions, one of which was a variant of concern.

There were also 51 cases of staff-to-student

The FHA also notes there were an additional 333 cases with suspect acquisition in school

that were not included in confirmed clusters as additional analysis is warranted to determine if they’re linked or not to in-school acquisition.

According to the FHA map, no Delta private schools had clusters or outbreaks but six public schools experienced it,

The numbers also indicate that during that time, there were seven student-to-student cases of transmission including one being a variant of concern and one a case of a staff-to-staff transmission but no variant involved.

North Delta shooting investigation continues CONTINUED from Page 1 Police received good information from the public, and continue to solicit photos, videos and other information, which can be uploaded directly through a link on the front of the department’s website at: deltapolice.ca.

Dubord said the current conflict is defined by an unusual development – the increased involvement of youths in gangs.

“Unfortunately it is estimated that 50 per cent of today’s gang members are in their teens and contrary to what some might think, it’s not poverty that has driven them to crime.

These youths typically come from a middle-class background, but may suffer from other forms of trauma,” said Dubord.

“We need to concentrate more of the work we do with youth-at risk at a younger age from a Delta Police side.”

In order to address this issue, Delta Police School Liaison Officers and the Youth Unit are working with CFSEUBC’s End Gang Life, the Delta school district and programs such as Yo Bro and Yo Girl to divert youth from risky activity. Family members and community programs are also key, as the supports must encompass all facets of the youth’s life.

“We started to see an increase in the demand for intervention and preventive steps with youths in 2020, and our officers have only gotten busier, as youths struggled with the impact of the pandemic and other related issues,” added Dubord. “But we know the effort we are putting in now will pay off in the long term.”

Despite the May 1 shooting and increases in gang activity, Dubord maintains that Delta is a safe community.

“We continue to be a safe community, but it does establish the fact that we are not immune to these situations happening,” he said.

Delta’s firefighters have played a big role along with health professionals in administering COVID19 vaccinations.

Mayor George Harvie, at council last week, gave acknowledgement to Delta Fire Department personnel assisting with the vaccinations, saying 47 firefighters are currently trained to vaccinate.

As of last Friday, they had 111 shifts and administered nearly 10,000 doses.

“Thanks to these firefighters for taking on this duty, which has freed up nurses from the vaccination effort to focus on work in hospitals where they are so needed,” said

Harvie. “We’re looking forward to continuing our support for the vaccination effort with firefighters pitching in for the upcoming months.”

Harvie added one firefighter worked at a clinic with an intensive care unit nurse who works in a COVID-19 ward, and that nurse said she had lost five patients to the disease in a four-hour span.

She could no longer be spared administering vaccines because her ward was too busy.

Harvie said the effort is helping accelerate the number of people getting vaccinated.

With additional vaccine supplies arriving, the plan for the North Delta Recreation vaccine clinic site is to move the

immunization activity into the ice rink area of the facility.

On hand for the council meeting via Zoom, Fire Chief Guy McKintuck said firefighters have done an amazing job and, after talking to each of them, they expressed appreciation for being able to help out with the provincial response.

He noted that firefighters in other municipalities in the Lower Mainland are also helping the vaccine effort.

Harvie said it’s good to see the COVID-19 numbers appear on a downward trend, but people must remember to continue to their part and follow safety protocols, as well as register for a vaccine.

Property crime is down while vehicle collisions are up according to first quarter 2021 crime statistics released last week by the Delta Police.

Property crime down, traffic collisions up in Delta 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

Property crime is down while vehicle collisions are up according to first quarter 2021 crime statistics released last week by the Delta Police.

Residential break and enters in were substantially lower compared to the same time frame last year, with 26 recorded this year compared to 44 last year year. Numbers for commercial break and enters stayed steady, with 30 recorded during the first three months of both years.

DPD say the change in residential break and enters is likely attributed to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Thefts from auto were down three per cent in the first quarter of 2021, with 194 incidents reported to police, versus 201 from 2020.

“Unfortunately at the end of the first quarter this trend began to swing the other way, and so far in the second quarter thefts from vehicles has been trending up,” notes Insp. Ciaran Feenan, head of frontline patrol.

The issue has been two-fold he explains, including theft of items from vehicles, as well as thefts of catalytic converters, which are literally being sawed off.

“We have a team in place that monitors crime trends on a weekly basis, so we addressed these issues quite proactively, with increased patrols in the middle of the night, as well as an education campaigns,” he says.

Those patrols paid off with arrests in the first quarter with both types of crimes.

Police are also recommending that commercial fleet operators, and owners of RVs and large trucks have their catalytic converters etched with the vehicle license plate.

The DPD is encouraging motorists to speak with their mechanics during their next service, and inquire if etching services can be provided.

The District Liaison Officers have been speaking with local service shops who are in support of this initiative.

As for violent crime, DPD reports little change

during this time period, with 174 incidents reported to police, compared to 177 in 2020.

Violent crime refers to offences such as assaults and robberies.

The number of collisions are up five per cent in the first quarter, with 253 reported to police versus 240 in 2020.

That trend is continuing into the second quarter and directly reflects the increased number of vehicles on the road, compared to the initial months of the pandemic, say DPD. Violation tickets are also up significantly, with 2,984 tickets handed out in the first three months, versus 2,590 in 2020.

“With ticketing our focus is on the driving behaviours that lead to collisions and injuries,” added Feenan. “That’s impaired driving, distracted driving and speeding primarily. We’re targeting areas where we see more collisions, or areas where people have contacted us with concerns, such as school zones.”

Residents can see more information on the DPD website crime map.

Editor’s Note IAN JACQUES

I

t is just me or is everyone seemingly in a hurry these days?

I ask this question as I ponder a couple of near traffic misses that I witnessed, check that, was almost involved in, in the past few weeks while travelling in our community.

I live in North Delta, work in Ladner.

Most days I travel along Scott Road and get onto Ladner Trunk Road for my 20-to 25-minute commute to work and back.

Twice now, while travelling down Ladner Trunk Road, I have been passed by two speeding motorists, all in an effort to get one car length in front, and on both occasions, the drivers narrowly avoided on-coming traffic and colliding into me as I slammed on my breaks to let them back into the correct lane of traffic.

Was this reckless driving behavior worth almost causing a serious multivehicle collision?

Is getting ahead by one more car length going to get you to your destination that much faster?

My answer would be no to both of these questions and I bet that most of you out there would agree with me.

Too many drivers are travelling way too fast putting other drivers at risk.

This week puts these risky driving behaviours and other dangerous driving habits in the spotlight. Tuesday marked the start of Canada’s Road Safety Week, a seven-day national campaign, which aims to make Canada’s roads the safest in the world.

Delta Police are using its social media platforms to get out safe driving messages, be it asking motorists to slow down, to not drive impaired by drugs or alcohol or to not be distracted while driving by putting down your cell phone.

The DPD traffic unit posted an image Tuesday of a pretty nice sports car being towed as the driver was speeding at 170 km/h in an 80 km/h zone. The driver saw his vehicle impounded and a hefty fine for excessive speeding.

Again, I ask, the question, are the fast speeds and reckless driving worth it?

Tax time is also a chance to teach my kids about adult life

W

ell, I got my taxes in on time (well, barely on time). I also helped my kids with theirs.

My daughter’s taxes were relatively easy, especially with the free program I was able to download. We had the whole thing done in about an hour, transferred a little tuition deduction my way, filed it online and she has a refund coming.

But what she said after we finished was a little puzzling…

‘Why don’t they teach this in school?’

Good question.

Taxes are a part of all our lives. We all must complete our annual report to the government, income or not, to pay your fair share and qualify for any benefits you may be eligible for. She’s lucky, there’s a program she can use. Even just being able to use a computer is a luxury in my mind.

When I was in college, I took a class in how to fill out tax forms. I’m reminded of that class every year, recalling the teacher’s name and his sage advice. He said taxes are like a game, and without the rules of

Community Comment BRAD SHERWIN

the game, you’ll never win. I’ve never forgotten him or that class, because it was one of the most valuable and relevant classes I ever took.

Considering that virtually everyone is going to submit a tax form later in life, maybe this is something that should be taught in high school. I know there’s a Life Skills class in Grade 10 that helps with budgeting and career planning, but this class should be offered later on, perhaps coupled with a class in economics, another real-world course that many don’t understand. And not just the basic forms, a deep dive into the inner workings of tax returns.

No matter what a student

pursues later in life, taxes and the economy will impact them.

We need to give them the tools to be able to navigate the world we are dropping them into.

I hear kids constantly say ‘when will I ever use this?’ as they go through high school.

Well, here’s a course that they will use, every year. I may not be able to factor a polynomial any longer, but I can figure out my taxable income.

Even kids that do go on to post-secondary education may not be offered this class as I did, but they will pay taxes.

And many won’t want to pay someone to prepare it for them. Taxes are one of, if not the largest expenditure in most households, yet we don’t do enough to prepare our youth to deal with it.

We shouldn’t drop that burden on them without letting them at least know the rules of the game.

Thanks for speaking out Editor: Re: Come on Ladner, let’s do better (Letter to the Editor) May 7, 2021 Jaime Gusto describes a reality that many nice people overlook because

they want to believe that racism does not exist in Delta. Or if it does exist, then the best thing to do is just keep the peace.

And by that they mean white peace. Racism is

more than a concept or a label. It is real life. The silence from nice white people is deafening. I applaud Jaime Gusto’s courage to tell the truth.

All are hurt by the sound of racism in our community Editor: A loud heartfelt thank you to Ladner resident, Jamie Gusto for her courage to inform the public of the recent disturbing public behaviour of racism towards her family.

Jamie’s family has

been unfairly hurt by this bad unkind and unsafe language.

All of Delta has been hurt and endangered by the sound of racism in our community.

I am hopeful that Jamie’s letter calls us to become better and kind-

er neighbours to everyone, to those regarded by some on the “inside” and to those regarded by others on the “outside”.

A racist-free Delta will become a safer healthier and more livable community for all.

Resilience BC is working to bring racism to light and to stand in solidarity with people who are targeted by acts of racism and hate.

to tell the truth about their experiences every day on the streets, in the schools, in workplaces and in public spaces in Delta. Hearing those stories is imperative.

Thankful for bike free pathways Editor: I am a walker and am so thankful that we have the bike-free path at Deas Island.

I wish there were more like this in the Lower Mainland.

I love to walk and do it for health just as much as for enjoyment. From my own personal experience, the majority of cyclists

can ruin a very good walk. Many zoom up behind you. They never call out a warning that a bicycle is approaching you from behind.

I guess it is not cool to have a bell on the bike that could also give a warning. I have actually been sworn at because I was in the way of a bicycle that I did not even

know was behind me on the path.

I pity the people with dogs out there on the pedestrian/cycle paths because there is no such thing as showing some courtesy, slowing down and sharing the path in a responsible way.

I vote for more pedestrian-only pathways.

Grateful for neighbourly kindness Editor: It is the strengths of our communities that either liberate and limit our abilities to cope during times such as these…and in our neighbourhood, the connections that have forged through simple acts of kindness have served to bring forth gratitude.

From the onset of the pandemic to present day, our neighbours have extended their

commitment to church to strengthening neighbourly relations. It has been now a year, that we have been receiving baked goodies from our neighbour every week!

Our kind neighbour has been extending this joy amid the dark blanket that has been the pandemic throughout our neighbourhood.

It is these caring acts of others that helps every-

one connect and see beyond the present day atrocities that have been rampaging the world.

It is in continuous moments as these, that help me hold faith, hope and courage in the strengths of our communities today and in the future that lies before us.

Here’s to kind neighbours, engaged communities and tasty treats!

FHA to begin community consultations on Delta Hospice 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

Fraser Health says it will collaborate with the community on future Delta hospice services.

That’s according to officials with the health region during the FHA’s online public board meeting earlier this month, responding to questions posed by the Optimist about what’s next at the Irene Thomas Hospice and Harold and Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care, now operated by the health region.

Health region president and CEO Dr. Victoria Lee said formal clinical counselling services are being offered as well as peer support counselling and family supports, but the health region will also consult with the community.

“What we’re looking at is working with our community members and engaging with our

community including the municipality to see what kind of services would best serve the community at that building, because there’s the main hospice building as well as the additional (supportive care) building on that premise,” said Lee. “We’ll be engaging in community consultation to decipher what types of services are required and what would be most beneficial and then looking at who can provide those services as well.”

Lee noted different groups in the same area can provide healing and beneficial service, so there’s multiple options.

Members of the Take Back Delta Hospice recently formed their own society called the Heron Hospice Society of Delta, stating they will also offer compassionate end-of-life programs for individuals and families experiencing grief and loss, as well as an aim to support the Irene

Thomas Hospice, which is managed by the FHA. As far as what role that new group could play, FHA board chair Jim Sinclair said “they’re one of the people we’re going to discuss it with.”

He added they will also reach out to the City of Delta, which has put forward a request to assume the lease of the supportive care centre.

“We have appreciated their support in the beginning on this and we hope, no matter how we answer that question, we’ll continue to work with them to make sure those services are there for the people of Delta,” said Sinclair.

Heron Hospice Society of Delta president Chris Pettypiece told the Optimist his society is currently offering bereavement support services through an Online Grief Circle, using Zoom, and will expand their program offerings to include a number

of other services when resources and revised public health restrictions eventually permit.

The Delta Hospice Society, meanwhile, stated it continues providing counselling and education resources for adults and children.

Nancy Pagani, director of operations for the society, told the Optimist their programs and services are active and in demand, and that a professional clinical counsellor, music therapist and social worker are available.

“The pandemic posed some challenges however, we adapted well by providing services virtually and telephonically in addition to creating new programming for children and youth. Since January we were able to begin providing in-person counselling with all the necessary COVID precautions in place and continue to do so. Our music therapist works virtually but also

during the pandemic, created several online relaxation videos which can be seen on our website. Our Bereavement Outreach Program is run by volunteers who work with clients in the community,” Pagani explained.

The current society board, which took control of the society after a heated annual general meeting in late 2019, was opposed to providing the legal procedure medical assistance in dying (MAiD) at the Irene Thomas Hospice, reversing a decision by the previous board to allow MAiD. It put the DHS at odds with the province and Fraser Health, which mandated publicly funded hospices with nonreligious affiliations offer the service to those who request it.

The FHA gave oneyear’s notice in February 2020 that its service contract with the society would be terminated

without cause. Earlier this year, the health region gave notice it would take over operations at the hospice facility in Ladner.

The FHA then reopened the 10 hospice bed facility and supportive care centre in April.

Noting the community as well as the City of Delta expressed support for the health region’s decision, Sinclair said the board has learned from the experience, having reviewed it legal policy on contracted services and intending to make changes to avoid similar situations in the future.

Harvie last week sent a letter to Lee, confirming the city’s interest inexploring options to acquire a head lease for the Harold and Veronica Savage Centre for Supportive Care.

If the city were successful, Delta’s intent would then be to sublet the building to the Heron Hospice Society of Delta.

Delta school board facing funding uncertainty 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

Trustees last week approved the operating budget for 2021/22 that had to make up a $2.72 million shortfall due to a number of factors, including increased costs and reduced revenues.

The school district balanced the books in several ways including, among other things, using reserves, removing newer contingency funds as well as savings in several areas including reduced demand for transportation services and, due to the pandemic, reduced academy staffing.

Board chair Val Windsor said she spoke with Delta North MLA Ravi Kahlon last week conveying concerns about funding and plans to also speak with Delta South MLA Ian Paton as well.

“We do realize the significant challenges

faced by the district in presenting a balanced budget for the 2021/2022 school year in light of the ongoing pandemic. It’s unbelievable, all the twists and turns in this budget,” said Windsor, reading a statement on behalf of the board of education. “We very much appreciate the efforts of the district in proposing a gentle, sustainable and measured approach to reducing its expenditure in order to balance the budget.

Rather than coming down hard, we choice to try and make it a little bit easier.

“The district has also taken steps in ensuring that it holds sufficient reserve funds to buffer any potential revenue shortfalls. Hopefully, we will begin to transition out of the pandemic in the coming months and clearly there’s still much uncertainty ahead for the district.”

Windsor said there’s

multiple scenarios moving forward and it’s not clear what September will look like, but has plans for whatever scenario arises.

Trustee Bruce Reid said it’s important to keep reminding the provincial government there’s still a shortfall in funding.

Trustee Nick Kanakos said governments are very quick to fund teacher salary increases but increases for exempt staff, such as principals and CUPE workers, come directly out of the district’s budget.

Kanakos also said there’s hidden increases with inflation annually, always putting Delta in a crunch.

“I’d like to advocate for more funding for those areas that we don’t receive extra funding for but are very important for the operation of our district,” he said.

Delta council approves Indigenous land acknowledgement SANDOR GYARMATI

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

Delta council, for the first time last week, began a meeting with an Indigenous land acknowledgement.

On hand for the first acknowledgement via Zoom were TFN Chief Ken Baird, executive council member.

Valerie Cross, CAO Braden Smith as well as Musqueam First Nation Chief Wayne Sparrow.

The acknowledgement will be held at the start of civic meetings and public events.

Earlier this year, council unanimously endorsed directing staff to review and report back with options, as well as to consult the Tsawwassen and Musqueam First Nations.

Throughout the province, many public bod-

ies, including various levels of government, and school districts including Delta, also make an Indigenous land acknowledgement at the beginning of meetings and events.

Instituting the practice of making an Indigenous land acknowledgement is one small step on the path to reconciliation, a Delta report notes, adding that additional actions are available for ongoing and future consideration.

“The City of Delta is our closest neighbour and on behalf of TFN, I am very appreciative of the many opportunities that our governments and communities have had to collaborate and produce better outcomes for all involved. From community safety to recreational activities, our people are better off

for having found ways to work together. In taking this step to acknowledge our territory, Delta is displaying its ongoing commitment to the Tsawwassen Treaty, the Tsawwassen people and our shared future in this beautiful place that we are fortunate to call home,” said Baird in a news release issued after the council meeting.

Sparrow noted the Musqueam is committed to continuing to work closely with the City of Delta to strengthen its renewed relationship and work toward shared goals.

Mayor George Harvie said the city has worked with the TFN on numerous initiatives over the years and is thankful for their support and collaboration to create a meaningful and respectful acknowledgement.

Harvie said he looks

Delta task force ‘will make a difference’ on diversity and inclusion, combating racism 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 new Delta civic advisory committee, formed to come up with recommendations to council on actions to support diversity and inclusion, as well as combat racism and discrimination, held second meeting on Monday.

The Mayor’s Task Force on Diversity, Inclusion and AntiRacism includes members from a wide range of backgrounds who will discuss issues as well as potential initiatives including increasing community engagement.

“Right away last year we asked for a consultant to compile a report card and that consultant also did a report card on the Delta Police, so we (the committee) will be reviewing that

report card and making recommendations to council,” said Mayor George Harvie, chair of the task force. “I’m very appreciative and complementary of all the people who applied. This was the highest number of applicants we had for any committee. We have very good representation from all residents throughout the community including First Nations, through TFN. I’m very pleased with the group and their determination. I have said that their dedication and determination will make a difference.”

At their first meeting a month ago, it was noted that the membership of the group includes more community members than staff.

The members were encouraged to speak freely and all topics are

CITY OF DELTA PHOTO

It was noted at the first task force meeting that schools are the foundational blocks for building inclusive communities. open for discussion.

The intent is that members will see actual change from meeting to meeting, as it is to be a committee focused on taking action, while staff will ensure that proposals will be turned around quickly.

During their first roundtable discussion, members and staff shared personal experiences of how racism and prejudice has touched them or their families.

The members agreed that in order to make changes within the com-

munity, the problems need to be first identified and acknowledged.

Task force members noted that the Mayor’s Youth Council has established a sub-committee to conduct a survey of high school students in Delta, seeking suggestions on how inclusion and diversity can be better encouraged in schools.

A recent survey was conducted at Sands Secondary in North Delta. It was also noted that the interactions and initiatives between the Tsawwassen First Nations and the municipality have been positive, but there exists a need to connect Indigenous communities to large development projects throughout the province.

Harvie said that Delta Police Chief Neil Dubord would speak at a future

task force meeting regarding the increase in hate crimes in the community.

In addition to members of Delta staff and Harvie, the task force’s membership includes councillors Dylan Kruger and Alicia Guichon as well as community members John Darras, Raminderjit Dhami, Nancy Dhillon, Warren Dean Flandez, Corinne Kessel, Waseem Malik, Tanya Corbet, Julia Johnson Baker, Ana Niperalski, Rachel Loif, John Gibson of CUPE, Sukh Sidhu with the Delta Police Association and Joel Woznikoski with the Delta Firefighters Association, IAFF Local 1763.

The city is still looking into how the meetings can be best made available online for the public to view.

Delta police school liaison program to remain 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 Delta School District and Delta Police are committed to continuing to look for opportunities to ensure the school liaison program delivers the most relevant and appropriate student engagement.

That’s what both organizations noted in a statement to the Optimist following recent news that the school boards in New Westminster and Vancouver decided to remove police officers from schools.

The Vancouver district, in late April, became the first in B.C. to end its

program, phasing out uniformed police officers from schools by the end of June.

New Westminster’s board quickly followed, immediately ending the district’s Child and Youth Liaison Officer Program due to concerns that armed officers could be disturbing to racialized or LGBTQ youth.

The Delta district has been working closely with the Delta Police to ensure all local schools have a designated school liaison officer.

According to the district, officers also work in partnership with school administrators and outside agencies including

School district undergoing new visioning process 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 Delta School District has begun the process of creating a new long-term vision for the school district.

Currently engaging with parents and partner groups, the district plans to have its Vision 2030 completed by this fall.

It will contain a series of a goals and priorities that are to build upon Delta’s Bold Vision 2020, which set the district’s priorities from 2011 to 2020.

The district notes staff across the district are already participating in visioning sessions.

Until June, people will be able to share through live Zoom sessions, online surveys, conversations with colleagues and by posting their thoughts on online whiteboard spaces and photo murals.

As far as the current vision endorsed a decade

ago, the district notes, “It was embraced wholeheartedly throughout the district, and resulted in countless successful programs and initiatives we will build on moving forward. The Visioning process will provide much needed positivity and collaboration, and act as our guiding ‘North Star’ as we support Delta’s students present and future for the next decade.”

The current vision identifies the district’s mission, values as well as subthemes.

Some of the current subthemes when it comes to the district being a leading in innovative teaching and learner success include having sustainable, accessible technology that supports innovative instruction, education taking place in all parts of the community and teachers working collegially to use best practices.

ICBC, parent advisory committees and Delta Youth Services to provide presentations to both youth and their parents.

Presentations that have been provided to the community in recent years include forums on drinking and driving, drugs, bullying and youth violence.

Asked if the Delta school board is also considering reviewing

the future of the program, including whether any changes to what’s delivered might be considered, the district and police department in a joint statement indicated the program is not in danger of being cancelled.

“The Delta School District and Delta Police Department have been following recent events in Vancouver and New

Westminster with interest. Due to our collaborative working relationship and because our size allows us to be readily adaptable, we believe we are able to successfully meet the needs of our community with our School Liaison Officer (SLO) program.

Throughout the 50-year history of the SLO program, our overall goal has been to create safe

learning environments in our schools by forming partnerships and relationships between police, students, staff and parents,” the statement reads.

“We both are committed to continuing to look for opportunities to ensure the SLO program delivers the most relevant and appropriate student engagement programming moving forward.”

Public hearing not required for Four Winds proposal 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 new application by Century Group to build a brew pub for Four Winds Brewing Company at the Southlands has a few hurdles to clear, but a public hearing is not one of them.

That’s according to the City of Delta’s planning staff regarding the application submitted last week for a new mixed use building, which would include a brew pub, at the Southlands Market District.

The development would be anchored on Market Avenue with an 8,600-square-foot Four Winds craft brewery and restaurant. It would also contain 35 residences in the form of garden flats and stacked townhomes.

Four Winds said the brewing facility would be just under 2,600 square feet, but provides the ideal space for a small batch specialty brew

house and restaurant.

The planning department confirmed that based on the application submission, the brew pub complies with the zoning regulations and therefore would not require rezoning or a public hearing.

The brew pub is permitted under the zoning, with its combined floor area limit of 250 square metres for manufacturing and warehousing, wholesaling and distribution, while all other regulations that apply to commercial uses would continue to apply.

The planning department also notes that new buildings in the Southlands are subject to development permits for form and character based on the form and character guidelines registered as part of the Southlands master plan.

Issuance of development permits for the Southlands has been delegated to the director

In 2019, city council voted 4-3 to defeat a previous proposal

by Four Winds and

Century that would have seen a new brewery and eatery housed in a 30,000-square-foot building at the Tsawwassen development.

That larger proposal to build a craft brewery and 200-seat restaurant in the

commercial component of the Southlands would have contained the brewing and bottling part of the operation, while the warehousing and distribution would have been handled at an industrial location elsewhere.

That application had many letters of support and mostly positive feedback submitted at a public information meeting, but most speakers at the public hearing, which received a large turnout, spoke in the negative.

Find out how healthy you are and support your local food bank with this app.

At the centre of making sure your community is healthy are your local food banks.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, food banks have been on the frontlines responding to the increased need of our communities every day. As a result, many of the 3,000 + food banks and community agencies that support the food banks from coast-to-coast have experienced significant challenges over the past year.

Some of the challenges faced include drastic reductions in volunteers and staff, cancelled food drives and fundraising events due to frontline demands, and food shortages, with many locations only having ten to 14 days of food in stock.

The growing needs and impact are real, and food bank use is expected to continue rising in the near future.

Through these challenging times, food banks have stepped up to help their communities and continue to prove their resilience by responding with some of the following actions: • Facilitating the provision of healthy meal kits to children • Making innovative adjustments to address increased service demands while protecting the health and safety of clients, employees and volunteers some of which include infection prevention and control practices as well as shifting the distribution models to offer scheduled appointments for pick-ups and drop-offs • Food Banks Canada is also working closely with local food banks and all levels of government to ensure the network can meet the expected rise in demand In order for the food banks to continue operating and supporting those in need, they need the local community’s support, and that’s where TELUS Health can help.

As part of its commitment to building healthier communities, TELUS Health

is leveraging the power of technology to help Delta residents make a difference in their own lives, and the community.

For a limited time, TELUS Health is giving $5 to the North Delta Food Bank for each Delta resident that downloads and registers for the Babylon by TELUS Health app by May 31, 2021 – up to a maximum of $2,000.

The Babylon by TELUS Health service is available through an easy-to-use smartphone app, and it includes a tool called Healthcheck, which you can use to gain real insights into your physical and mental health. It also includes personalized tips, so users can proactively make small changes to improve overall health and well-being.

The app is one small way that, together with TELUS, we can make a difference in our community.

Funding approved for school food program 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

After lobbying by the Liberal opposition last week, the NDP have restored funding for a school fruit and vegetable nutrition program.

The program, which provides fresh B.C. fruits, vegetables and milk to students, appeared to be in jeopardy when B.C. Agriculture Minister Lana Popham did not acknowledge whether program funding would be continued this year.

Since February, the BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation has been asking government for the $3.5 million needed to continue the program for the 2021/22 school year.

The Foundation told the minister it would need an answer by May 10, so that farmers could plant in time and so 4,000 volunteers could be organized — but the deadline passed with no answers on the funding.

South Delta MLA Ian Paton, who is the opposition agriculture critic, lobbied in the legislature

last week and a day later Popham issued a short statement on Twitter: Good news!! School Fruit and Vegetable Nutrition Program will be funded for the 21-22 school year!

It’s so important students learn about and enjoy B.C. fruit and veg. Excited to create even more food opportunities for students, farmers and food producers!

Pat Tonn, Executive Director of the BC Agriculture in the Classroom Foundation said they are relieved that the funding is in place, although, acknowledges how much the funding will be, is still to be answered by the ministry.

“I work with program staff in agriculture and health and both of these people have called me and said you are getting funding for this year’s program, but nobody has any further details,” she said. “We are a little organization, we work on contract arrangements for programs like this and work with donors on education and this is a big one, so we would

have had to do a lot of recalculating likely with less staff to try and continue this program had we not received this funding.”

Tonn said the lobbying efforts were much appreciated.

Tonn said they can move forward with planning, as well as issue expressions of interest for procurement of product with growers, while they await for the funding to arrive.

Paton said the program is very close to his heart.

“I’ve been on a board of directors of agriculture at the PNE for over 30 years and Pat Tonn was on the same board as me,” he said. “Over the years I’ve stayed in contact with Pat, done fundraisers for Ag in the Classroom, so it was cool we were able to be on the same page on all of this.

“A big shout-out to BC Fresh in Delta, because they are a huge supporter of this program. It is a big deal for a lot of communities to get access to these fresh fruits and vegetables that they otherwise would not have.”

Accessible parking regulations revised SANDOR GYARMATI s g y a r m a t i @ d e l t a - o p t i m i s t .c o m

Delta council last Monday gave final approval to bylaw changes to update the existing regulations for required accessible parking spaces, changes which include a requirement for van accessible parking.

The changes apply to residential and non-

residential uses, including civic and public buildings.

The requirements include having van accessible parking where accessible parking is required, as well a requirement for residential visitor parking to include accessible parking.

Of the required accessible parking spaces for a new development, 50

percent will be required as van accessible parking at a width of 11 feet.

No additional enforcement provisions are needed to uphold the bylaw changes, according to civic staff.

Meanwhile, the required number of parking spaces for the Scott Road Corridor and Ladner Village are still under separate reviews.

Phoenix Society merges with Delta’s Little House

Phoenix Society has announced a merger with Delta’s Little House Alcohol & Drug Addiction Recovery Society.

The merger came about after a joint recognition that the organizations’ values aligned, and together could provide enhanced support to more individuals struggling with substance use and their families.

“This all came together in a really organic way,” said Keir Macdonald, CEO of Surrey-based Phoenix Drug & Alcohol Recovery and Education Society. “Phoenix had

been working with Little House over the past two years to help strengthen our bed-based substance use programs in two keys areas, family services and continuing care. Little House had some really amazing programs and it just made sense for us to partner rather than re-create something and things just grew from there.”

Little House Society has been a welcoming space for group recovery meetings for more than 30 years. The organization offers a variety of community-based supports including indi-

vidual therapy; family supports; boundaries workshops; an ongoing Self-Management and Recovery Training (SMART) group utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy; group meetings; and more.

The organization operates out of an 1,800 square foot, fully accessible house in Tsawwassen that includes a comfortable counselling office, and two meeting rooms that accommodate recovery group meetings, workshops, and educational sessions.

Two years ago, Little House began running a family program for loved ones of those in residential treatment programs at Phoenix, offering a four-hour education workshop.

“Our organizations have such common values and interests and that was apparent early on for me. This merger is a perfect fit – a match made in heaven,” said Debbi McKenzie, Chief Operating Officer of Little House Alcohol & Drug Addiction Recovery Society.

“My passion and my dream has always been to

the merger with Phoenix Society. Right now, we’re literally just a ‘Little House.’”

McKenzie noted that for every person struggling with their substance use, 10 to 20 people around them are impacted.

“We know that if someone goes to treatment,

but returns to a family that has not done their healing, there is a 40 per cent chance of relapsing,” she said.

“Together, we can support more families to learn how to support their loved one in recovery. Too many families are suffering in silence right now.”

McCallum running miles for MS IAN JACQUES

Tsawwassen’s Lindsay McCallum has raised over $40,000 for MS research over the past eight years. with MS and reflect on those diagnosed and/or living with this disease and maybe learn something new about MS. To register or make a donation call, 604-760-5416.

MEASURE

Lindsay (Ross) McCallum knows all too well what the impacts can be of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

McCallum, a Tsawwassen resident, wife and mother of two, continues to try and make a different in the community by hosting her ninth annual McCallum’s Miles for MS Walk/ fundraiser to raise awareness for MS research and those living with this terrible disease.

During the past eight years more than $40,000 has been raised through her local campaign.

She knows, first-hand, how 30 years of MS can gradually steal a once active and fun-loving father from his family; rob an avid outdoors man of the joys of camping; and cheat a “footie-fanatic” the glory of a lifelong passion for coaching and playing soccer.

McCallum was so young when her father was diagnosed that she has no memory of him being able to walk without a limp. Challenged by frustration, fear and sheer determination, she took the steps her father could no longer take, by

standing up and taking action to #ENDMS. In 2012, McCallum’s Miles took its first strides towards raising $30,000 to help those suffering with the disease and to fund the research, prevention, treatment and cure of MS. Sadly, after only six years of her fundraising efforts her father, Victor, lost his battle on March 17, 2018.

“I would really like to continue making a difference for those impacted by this disease,” she said.

“I am honoring him by committing to continue this walk. Each year I try to make this a community walk, child, pet friendly and of course wheelchair accessible, however, this year like last year, we need to keep the walk virtual and ask for those that are walking to stay within your communities.”

The virtual event is scheduled for Sunday, May 30, at 10 a.m. with a five km walk.

McCallum invites the community to walk in their neighbourhood and show support for those living with this disease and help her in raising funds and awareness for MS. Wear red to honour those living

Delta Foundation gives $4,000 to school district

‘Building student capacity for intercultural understanding, empathy and mutual respect’ is the Truth and Reconciliation Call to Action #63.

With this call to action in mind, the Delta School District initiated the Giving Tree Project, which has seen red cedar trees planted at every school and district site as a way to build understanding, and show respect for local First Nation culture.

Recently, the school district received a $4,000 grant from Delta Foundation to help further the scope of the Giving Tree Project. The funds will be used to install a three-foot post next to each cedar, which will feature a plaque containing information to educate students and the wider community about the significance of the cedar locally. The

plaque will include a QR code linked to an educational video and will showcase art created

by Karl Morgan, local Tsawwassen First Nation carver.

“All of our schools have hosted a celebration of their tree and students have spent time learning about why the cedar tree is the heart of the culture for many First Nations along the coast of British Columbia. What is so special about the Giving Tree project is that it is far reaching and will provide a lasting legacy,” said Diane Jubinville, district vice-principal Indigenous Education. “We are extremely grateful to Delta Foundation for its generosity. The cedar trees and educational posts will stand for generations to come and serve as visual reminders of the important pathway to reconciliation.”

Grow and give back with Earthwise victory garden Do you have a passion for growing food and want to give back to the community?

Maybe you are a first time gardener looking for some inspiration to get started in your new hobby. Whatever your experience level, the Earthwise victory garden program wants to help nurture your green thumb and show how you can make a real difference beyond your backyard.

More people are turning to gardening these days, both for relaxation and enjoyment, and for more practical reasons.

Homeowners are embracing the joys of growing food in

their own gardens, and as the COVID-19 pandemic highlights local food security issues, many are looking for ways to help others access fresh, healthy food.

The victory garden program provides support to get gardeners started, and shares a portion of the harvest to those in need through the Delta Food Coalition. All that’s needed to get involved is a space to garden and a desire to grow food organically. The space can be an existing garden, small or large, or start from scratch.

Earthwise Society will provide participants with a free

starter kit containing a selection of seeds to get their gardens growing, and victory gardeners will receive a bi-weekly newsletter full of growing tips and recipes. Earthwise farmers will offer an initial phone consultation, and will remain available to provide gardening advice throughout the season. And of course, gardeners will reap the benefits of fresh, home-grown produce.

In return, Earthwise requests that victory gardeners will donate a portion of their harvest to Earthwise Society for distribution through the Delta Food Coalition to those in

need in our community.

This program was initiated in 2020 with the support of United Way of the Lower Mainland in response to COVID-19. Last year, Earthwise distributed more than 850 boxes of fresh local produce through Delta Food Coalition, and this year they hope to surpass that number.

SDSS presents Mamma Mia virtually 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 show must go on – even during a global pandemic.

Trying to navigate COVID19 health and safety protocols while producing a musical production has had numerous challenges, but that has not stopped the drama and musical theatre students at South Delta Secondary from presenting Mamma Mia. The production hits the virtual stage at the end of this month.

Producer, director and choreographer Jennifer McKee said all auditions were conducted online, production designs were done at a distance and slowly groups began coming into the theatre for rehearsals in the past few weeks.

“Everyone has been masked and you will notice in the filmed production we are masked, so there has been various challenges, but we have been so grateful to have the support from the school and the school district who have been so open-minded in helping us build this show because they could see the value in it and see how much the kids wanted to do a musical this year,” she said. “We announced Mamma Mia last year right after Rock of Ages and then we had the shut-down in March, so this is keeping that promise

and we wanted to keep that promise and have the kids put on this show.

“We did this with smaller groups, smaller crew visits, our band met in smaller groups and recorded all of the music that you will hear in the video stream, so it is live. We also recorded all of the vocals in

advance, so there were a lot of changes, but the kids got a different kind of experience and saw what a musical being filmed as a stage production is like.”

Maggie Stewart, who plays Sophie Sheridan in Cast Yellow says Mamma Mia has been an overall amazing experience to be a part of.

“Sophie was one of my dream roles and it was super fun to play a young, outgoing character who was trying to find herself,” said Stewart.

“Being a graduating student, I was able to make more personal connections with her, which made my portrayal all that more honest. Being in a pandemic, we were definitely faced with many different challenges and obstacles, but we truly put on a fantastic show. I was able to work with so many talented individuals and form new friendships with the rest of my cast.”

Sean Marenych, who is the stage manager for Cast Blue, said the dedication by every-

one has been remarkable.

“I experienced something of complete awe by the dedication by everyone during the show. I truly saw the best of everyone and was so incredibly happy in supporting them by stage managing. The best moments/feeling were when we nailed the cues,” he said.

Sierra Macdougall, who plays Donna in Cast Yellow said working on Mamma Mia has been an amazing experience despite the ongoing challenges faced during the pandemic.

“This show has shown me perseverance and determination while playing the role of Donna,” said Macdougall.

“Everyone put in the work this year and we all came together as an ensemble to make it the best show possible. I’m so grateful to be a part of such an amazing team.”

The production runs May 31 to June 7 – Monday to Monday.

Access to the live stream will begin in the morning each day, but SDSS is asking that

the community joins in the viewing at 7 p.m. for a more ‘community live viewing experience.’

There are three levels of ticket prices depending on how big the group is watching the stream. If you are streaming alone, the ticket price is $17 or if there are two to three watching, it is $30. The ticket prices for a recommended family viewing (four or more) is $60.

All tickets are available at sdss-mammamia.eventbrite.ca.

Once a ticket is purchased you will receive an email with the link to the online event page streamable at any time the day you purchased the ticket for.

“The stream is available for the cast of the day from 10 a.m. to midnight to accommodate viewing across the country or globally even, but we have a start time of 7 p.m. for our locals to have the communal watching feeling,” added McKee.

What the world needs now...

Is not more superstars, but rather faithful parents, spouses, neighbors, friends, and co-workers.

People who are willing to serve God even if they never get famous for it.

George Stephenson College’s motto is “One day I shall astonish the world.”

No pressure, right? It is well-meaning with a purpose to encourage you to make something meaningful of your life. Many of us are shaped by mottos similar to that, but today I actually want to say something that you might find off-putting – “decrease your vision.”

In the bible, Jesus often shrunk crowds. He regularly asked the people who just received a miracle to not tell anyone.

Imagine Jesus being alive today and doing the same miracles? Instant fame and social media would be exploding with videos about him healing the sick, but in Mark 1:35–39

Minister’s Minute ANDREAS BASSON

LIFE CHURCH

something striking happens…an entire city gathered at Christ’s door in the hopes of experiencing healing.

What does Jesus do?

“Rising very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He departed and went out to a desolate place, and there He prayed”. (Mark 1:35) Even His disciples didn’t know where He was and it goes on to say they were confused by His withdrawal. Rather

than building status with the crowds, He was praying in solitude! But Jesus responded: “Let us go on to the next town that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.”

(Mark 1:38) Rather than building a fanbase, He stayed faithful to His Father’s will. At times some are called into the spotlight, but more often God calls us daily to faithfulness in things that make an impact on the world, but not in front of spotlights. There’s nothing wrong with making plans or having dreams, but we have to make sure they don’t distract us from God’s daily purpose for our lives.

Be a good husband, wife and work to keep your marriage healthy.

Parent with love and integrity. Love your neighbors. Be kind and be generous. Serve others with love and compassion.

Love God, Love people and you will Love Life.

LOOK GOOD There is a new moisturizer on the market that is making waves and receiving global attention.

Dermsystem’s Transforming Moisturizer was only released in

A revolutionary delivery and retention formulation, giving your skin more moisture and keeping it there longer.

Probably the best moisturizer you’ll ever have.

Available for purchase at Beach Grove Laser Clinic #226-1077 56th Street, Delta BC V4L 2A2 604.943.9339

December of 2020, but it’s already got a huge customer base and growing fast! It’s creator, Mary Seitz, is a Tsawwassen resident and owner of Beach Grove Laser Clinic, a registered nurse with 20+ years of direct consumer exposure and experience in skin care technology and skin care products.

Dermsystem’s Transforming Moisturizer was born out of lack to serve one very special customer, Mary’s nephew. Born with level 3 non-verbal autism, he suffers from ultra reactive skin and conditions.

Mary was consulted to help solve his

skin problems, initially failing because of limited technology available at the time. Mary could not source a product, so she transitioned to development, to address the void in the market for a skin moisturizer for very reactive skin. After years of intensive research, iterative development, and trials, working with a chemist, Mary created a novel, unique and high performance moisturizing cream. This is revolutionary new product, backed by science and is technologically advanced. Dermsystem’s Transforming Moisturizer is versatile, it can be used by anyone and it is especially helpful for those with sensitive skin, or in instances where nothing else works. Dermsystem works! Moisturization simplified, it is all about the product’s penetration of the skin and how it is retained where it is needed. It works so well that it may be the only moisturizer you will ever use again. Mary is continually rewarded by the amazing results achieved for her customers. “It was especially rewarding to have resolved my nephew’s skin problems”, Mary proudly says.

Dermsystem’s Transforming Moisturizer contains only those elements that contribute to adding

or retaining moisture in the skin, setting it apart from many of the conventional creams and lotions that often contain fillers, and ingredients that may cause irritation to the skin and possible allergic reactions.

Dermsystem’s Transforming Moisturizer is not tested on animals.

It is proudly manufactured in Vancouver, BC. Dermsystem is on a mission is to bring to the well-informed and discerning customer, a superior product that provides effective and long lasting moisturization, that visibly improves the health and appearance of the skin, contains no unnecessary ingredients, and can be used by virtually everyone.

I have hearing loss in both ears, but one is definitely worse than the other. Can I just get one hearing aid for now?

How can you help me manage my multiple medications?

You can, but you probably shouldn’t.

Cover one eye with your hand: notice how clarity, depth perception, and spatial awareness are effected? It’s not much different with our ears. Even if your hearing loss is predominately in one ear, wearing hearing aids in both can help with: • Sound distinction and speech understanding (it’s easier to be selective in what you listen to) • Sound detection (you can more reliably detect where sounds are coming from for social and safety reasons) • Sound quality • Brain stimulation (your brain likes getting equal inputs from both ears) • Listening ease (amplification in each ear is less tiring, straining and more satisfying) Just as we use both eyes to see our best, our two ears work together to help us hear our best!

East Ladner’s Tiny Tales a haven for rescued ponies MARK BOOTH

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

It’s hard to imagine anyone would neglect, harm or even slaughter these wonderful and adorable animals.

Fortunately, they have a haven and it is right here in East Ladner.

It was in the summer of 2012 when Tara Pay opened Tiny Tales Pony Rescue Society as a registered Canadian charity.

The lifelong Ladner resident and horse lover teamed up with her mom to operate the refuge for ponies. When a similar operation that accommodated mostly mini-horses shutdown in Yarrow, they took them on too.

Today, the facility is run by 20 dedicated volunteers and relies completely on donations, in money and services to keep the barn doors open.

Its mandate is to rescue and assist sick, injured, abused and neglected ponies.

“It’s a dream that started nine years ago.

I know people find (a need for this) surprising because they are so darn cute,” said Pay. “It’s just like how the (animal shelter) deals with what people are doing with dogs and cats, it’s the same with what people do with ponies and minis.

A lot of them are bred in Alberta because they have space there and they can be picked up to become meat (if they were not rescued).

“Usually they come here wild, unhandled and their hoofs have never been trimmed. Ideally you do horses or minis every six to eight weeks so they have all been heavily neglected. There are all different ages too.”

Tiny Tales has a partnership with Bear Valley Rescue. The Alberta operation will keep the rescued ponies and minihorses long enough so a multiple number can

CAN YOU USE GIFTED FUNDS AS A DOWN PAYMENT? In most situations you can. The funds need to be from a family member. However in certain situations, such as when you’re self-employed or with certain special lending programs gifted down payments may not be allowed. The best thing to do is talk to a mortgage professional to find out if home ownership may just be closer than you think.

Once they arrive, they are quarantined for two weeks in case of “shipping” fever or they are potentially bringing anything contagious to the stables.

The next step is being able to tame the animals enough to be properly examined, cared for and groomed.

“The longer it takes to get them trained with halters, the longer it takes to give them care,” conintued Pay. “Each of them cost between $750-to-$800 and that’s just their basic needs on top of the (potential) unexpected. Funding, space and a little bit more hands on deck all have to be factored in.”

Pay also doesn’t say no if some unexpected guests show up. That’s what happened earlier in April when a middleof-the-night arrival from Alberta was actually horses including one that was pregnant. The Society needed to create an additional run to accommodate them. Volunteers happily did the work after a request on the Ladner’s Landing Facebook group.

Then there was minihorse “Sparky” who had a significant injury that required eye surgery. The cost would have been at least $5,000 that would have led to no choice for

the Society but have him put down. Instead only the cost of medicine and supplies were required after an equine veterinarian and his team provided their services for free.

Once the ponies and mini-horses have been rehabilitated, they will go up for adoption.

The demand for them is high. Colts are also gelded as well at a cost of around $500, which ensures they can’t be used for backyard breeding purposes.

“We rehabilitate and re-home them. Lots of people want them to be safe for their children, but you need someone with a background and experience with them,” added Pay. “So that can be the tricky part is finding home that can take on that level of training.”

The Society is looking at other ways to fundraise. They are hoping businesses will sponsor a recently acquired trailer that will be utilized to take ponies to schools and day cares for educational purposes once the the pandemic is over.

“We have a great group of volunteers that are feeding them and cleaning them,” added Pay. “Nobody is paid here, so all the money goes back into to all this.”

Tax credit donations can be made online by visiting the society’s website: ponyrescue.org.

Hi, I am on Strata Council at our Townhouse Complex.

Every time it rains hard for a couple days our parking lot floods. What would you suggest?

Susie from North Delta Hi Susie, You need to address some issues in your Storm System. Your Catch-Basins may be full of debris. If so, they need sucked out. If you do not have leaf guards inside your Catch-Basins, debris may have moved down your lines and caused blockages there.

Your best bet would be to have a Combi-Vac Truck come in and clear your system. They have the capacity to suck out your Catch-basins and then Hydro-Jet all your Storm Lines. It would be advisable to Video Inspect all your lines after the flushing and make sure there is no breaks or other concerns. After the problem is solved, put your Storm System and your Sani System on an annual maintenance program to avoid this happening in the future. Give us a call if you need help setting any of this up.

Market volatility makes me nervous.

What should I do to stop worrying?

If you are nervous about your investments, you’re not alone.

Here’s my advice: Filter out the media noise. Dramatic news makes good headlines, but in reality volatility is normal and healthy.

Successful investing involves using the “ups” and “downs” to your advantage.

Ensure your portfolio is well structured. Your financial advisor should customize an investment portfolio unique to Doug Smith your circumstances, carefully considering your specific BA I CIM® needs for wealth protection, tax efficient income and Financial Advisor comfort with risk.

Benefit from a knowledgeable and experienced financial advisor. If you have doubts, consider getting a second opinion. Trust and confidence should be the foundation of your relationship with your advisor.

DRESSAGE • CROSS COUNTRY • STADIUM JUMPING

Riding during COVID-19 has been the perfect passtime I had just lost my job in December 2019 and after working hard for over 40 years my plan was to take a little time off, get the backlog of stress out of my system, take a riding holiday and then get another job for a few more years before I retired permanently.

Of course, my plans like everyone else in the world did not happen. While my work stress was relieved. Covid kindly stepped into its shoes. I also live alone, and my family is in another province. I must note, I am one of the lucky ones who so far has not been touched personally by Covid. I know people who have not been so fortunate in that respect.

I have been leasing a horse named Mark and taking lessons once a week at a local Delta stable, Unicorn. I started riding there at the beginning of 2018 and have loved every moment, even when I was nervous riding.

At the beginning of the Covid crisis, after a lot of thought and research and communication with the right people, the staff were able to develop a safe COVID plan to allow current leasers and borders onto the site to ensure the health and welfare of the wonderful herd of horses who live there.

This plan involves a schedule on an app to make sure there are only a few of people on site in their open, airy location at any one time. Masks are always mandatory, there are cleaning stations everywhere, and a sanitizing plan for any shared tools and the bathroom. This strict health and sanitizing plan have never faltered or diminished, and I always felt and feel safe as some more services were allowed to come back to the stables for their lesson customers.

The obvious result was maintaining the immediate health and welfare of these wonderful horses. The less obvious result was the mental health support for some of us riders. Having the ability to access the stables to care and ride my lease horse three days a week has had a profound impact on my life during Covid. The awesome, hardworking and friendly team of young women and men who work there and the powerful connection with horses have made this experience much less painful for me than it would have been in isolation by myself.

I still can’t thank Delta’s equestrian community enough (and I do go on) for being able to still care for Mark, having meaningful conversations even if they are brief and masked, and riding 3 days a week has helped me in so many ways. It helped me become a more confident horsewoman, given me a sense of purpose, connection with others and a much better level of fitness I’m happy to say! Trust me the horses aren’t doing ALL the work! J Spending time with horses and riding can be very therapeutic. Many Delta stables have COVID-19 plans to keep you and the horses healthy throughout the pandemic. We recommended visiting the stables, touring facilities when possible, and asking about their COVID-19 safety systems.

Delta has a wonderful and welcoming equestrian community. Please don’t let COVID-19 stop you from enjoying it.

Ladnerrowersecures2ndtriptoOlympicGames MARK BOOTH

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

Maxwell Lattimer is headed to his second consecutive Olympic Summer Games.

The 27-year-old Ladner rower secured his trip to Tokyo by teaming up with Victoria’s Patrick Keane to capture Sunday’s lightweight men’s double sculls event at the Olympic Qualification Regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland.

The performance was part of a terrific day for the Canadian team with

all three crews earning Olympic berths, giving Canada 10 boats in Tokyo, its largest number of entries since the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta.

It proved to be a test of endurance for the Canadians with inclement weather resulting in the semi-final and final races taking place on the same day of the regatta.

With rain pouring down on Lake Rotsee, China got off to a fast start in the six boat field before Lattimer and Keane surged into the

Ladner’s Maxwell Lattimer (front) and Victoria’s Patrick Keane captured their race at Sunday’s Olympic Qualifier Regatta in Switzerland.

lead midway through the race and eventually held off the Czech Republic

in a winning time of 6:28.53.

“At the beginning, we

were a good chunk back, but we were just confident in our training and execution,” said Lattimer.

“In lightweight rowing, the leader of the race changes a lot but the fastest boats will always come out on top. What a thrill.”

Lattimer and Keane finished the weekend unbeaten after also capturing their opening heat on Saturday.

“It’s an adjustment having crews beside you,” added Lattimer.

“At home when we do 2000m racing, it’s on

staggered starts, so having crews come with you at the start and then relaxing into the race is an adjustment.”

They will be looking to improve upon their 13th place finish at the Rio Games back in 2016.

Lattimer becomes the third Delta athlete headed for Toyko, joining Mark Pearson (field hockey) and Marcus Thormeyer (swimming).

The Toyko Summer Games are slated for July 23 to Aug. 8 after being postponed in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Neely returns to head SDU’s technical staff MARK BOOTH

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

South Delta United is shuffling its line-up after welcoming back a familiar face following a three-year stint working for Soccer Canada.

Tsawwassen resident Stuart Neely has returned to the community soccer club where he will take over from Mark Rogers as technical director.

Rogers will now focus on offfield duties as SDU’s general manager. Working alongside Neely will be Mike Frank as assistant technical director.

“I will be doing more in a management capacity,” explained Rogers, who served a number of years as technical director for Tsawwassen Soccer before the club merged with Ladner to form SDU back in 2016. “As GM I will be overseeing the operations and doing a lot of the behind the scenes work.”

Paving the way for the move was Neely’s desire to return

full-time to B.C. after adding another chapter to his already impressive soccer resumé.

He served as Soccer Canada’s Manager of Coach Education which resulted in an overhaul of the country’s coaching curriculum. The 2018 appointment came after Neely had spent two years on SDU and Delta Coastal Selects’ technical staffs. His extensive career has also included positions with Ontario Soccer, Manitoba Soccer Association, Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Toronto FC, as well as in Belgium, England and New Zealand.

“When Canada Soccer came around it was kind of an opportunity to have an impact on a bigger picture across the country,” explained Neely.

“Then it was realizing when we went through all that and made some massive changes culturally with the coaching education system, the impact COVID was having and that it was more important for me to find balance in what I was doing.

Fresh off a three-year stint with Soccer Canada, Stuart Neely (right) is the new technical director for South Delta United while Mike Frank will serve as his assistant.

“Now I have the opportunity to make an impact locally and help that grow. I kind of had idea what Mark was trying to do and the people he had involved.”

Neely is looking forward to having Frank work alongside him. The Richmond native and his family moved out to South Delta nearly a decade ago and he began coaching his eldest son with the former Ladner Soccer Club. His involvement

with community youth soccer has evolved since, leading up to his appointment.

“Mike had just kind of started getting involved when I was moving on to Soccer Canada,” recalled Neely.

“I always had that envision of Mike working with the club and I was excited by that and knowing he has progressed and what he has been doing within the grassroots program.

That was a deciding factor

for me (coming back) as well knowing what had already been planted.”

Frank said working alongside Neely was a big part of agreeing to expand his role with SDU as he works the new position around his career as a Vancouver Firefighter.

“It is a bit of big role for me but knowing Stu is there and being able to work with him and learn from him is very exciting,” said Frank.

PEARSON, Kenneth Geoffrey Borne May 23, 1929. Died April 20, 2021.

Kenneth Geoffrey Pearson passed away in hospital on April 20, 2021, a few days after suffering a heart attack in his home. Born in 1929, Ken’s early years were spent on a farm in Port Kells (Surrey) and he grew up during the tough Depression years. The family was very poor and relied on their animals and farm gardens for sustenance. The Pearson family were once high profile citizens of New Westminster but the Depression era ruined them financially. Ken’s fondest memories of his teenage years were of spending summer weeks staying with his grandfather Morton Foley, who worked for the CPR, especially at Ruby Creek. There he camped and rode the trains up and down the lower Fraser and Coquihalla rivers. The family moved to Keremeos near the end of WWII, and then Ken returned to New Westminster to finish high school. Ken worked for 35 years in the Public Service at the Land Registry Office in New Westminster before retiring in 1984. Ken lived in New Westminster for a few years, until he bought a lot on the beach at Boundary Bay in the mid 1960s and built his first house. Ken hosted many gatherings at the beach for the next 3 decades, until he bought another lot in Ladner and built a fine home where he lived until his passing.

Ken enjoyed the outdoors and spent many times camping and staying in cabins in the BC interior. He built a log cabin in the wilderness at Adams Lake in the 1950s and then had cabins elsewhere there for rest of his time. Ken enjoyed traveling and, after retirement, made many trips to Mexico, took cruises to Africa, South America and Asia, and visited Australia. He also travelled around BC with his truck and camper and especially enjoyed trips to the Skeena country. A model train enthusiast, after his experiences with the CNR, Ken acquired an extensive collection of model trains and built a working railway in his home. Ken was an avid collector of antiques, western memorabilia, and basketry.

Ken was an original member of the New Westminster Auxiliary Police Force starting in 1954 and served 20 years until the unit was disbanded. Ken rose to be Staff Sergeant and Officer Commanding the Auxiliary Unit. He served with distinction and was given several commendations by the Chief of Police over the years.

Ken was an only child and remained a bachelor throughout his life. Predeceased by his mother Helen Shirley Parsons (1995) and father Geoffrey Pearson (1967), Ken is survived by cousins and numbers of friends. We thank his great neighbours Jean, Wendy and Nick for keeping watch over Ken in recent years and for getting him to the hospital after the heart attack We also thank friends Hank, Joanna, Derrick and Janneh for their care and friendship for Ken over many years.

A private remembrance, will be held at a later time.

TAMBOLINE, Reginald Edward April 24, 1930 - May 11, 2021 Reg Tamboline (Reggie), passed away peacefully at the age of 91 years with his family by his side on May 11, 2021 at Shuswap Lake General Hospital.

He lived a full and active life right up into his 90’s, still going for long walks with family, working as a volunteer in the church thrift shop and driving himself around town. He was a faithful Christian and was at peace in the end to be joining his Lord and Saviour in heaven.

Born as the eldest son in Vancouver, B.C., his family moved to Westham Island near Ladner, B.C. to take over operation of the family farm when Reg was 7 years old. There were many new chores and it was hard work for him and his siblings, especially when his father died when Reg was 11 years old.

When the farm was sold they moved back into Vancouver and he graduated from Lord Byng High School in 1948. One of his first jobs was delivering ice (before refrigerators were common) and it was at his work place where he met his wife-to-be Shirley Anne Francis. He went on to be a long-haul trucker for most of his career. After having three children, they moved from the coast to the Okanagan Valley and then to Kamloops, finally settling in Salmon Arm. Together for 68 wonderful years, they had a full and happy life even through Shirley’s 10 year battle with Alzheimer’s disease.

Reg would visit her in the care home every day and help her with everything she needed to get through the day.

Reg is predeceased by his wife Shirley, his elder son Dan and his younger brother Don. He is survived by son Tom (Ainslie), daughter Diane (Ron), grandchildren; Grant (Lola), David (Nicole), Maeve and Flora and great-granddaughter Zenna.

Of his five siblings, Reg is survived by his three older sisters Florence, Margaret and Thelma and by many nieces and nephews.

A special thanks to the staff at the Shuswap Lake General Hospital for their kind and professional care during his final days.

Graveside service for Reg Tamboline was held for immediate family members on May 14, 2021 at Lakeview Memorial Gardens, Kelowna, BC. A Celebration of Life will be held at a future date at Fischer’s Funeral Services, 4060 1st Avenue SW Salmon Arm, BC. The hope is that this will occur in the late summer or early fall of this year but is determinant on provincial restrictions on gatherings.

The exact time and date will be posted on Fischer’s web site at: fischersfuneralservices.com Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm (250) 833-1129

HAYWOOD, William May 20, 1933 - April 29, 2021 William Haywood (Bill) passed away peacefully April 29, 2021 at Delta Hospital after a lengthy battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Bill is predeceased by his Wife Rosalie (Penny), Grandson (Brandon), and Great Grandson Zayden Kohl. Survived, by his Daughters Tracy (Pat), Alison (Neil). Grandchildren Natasha, Nick (Hazel), Christopher, Great Grandchildren Nevada, Stevie, Zayne Kade, Zaydie Kye.

Bill was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and moved to Vancouver in his early ‘20’s. Bill worked for the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver as a photographer until retirement. Bill loved to travel, and Hawaii was his favorite. His family could always find him frequenting the local beach pubs where he made many new friends. The last 1.5 years were very hard as he could not see any family, and really missed the little ones. We would like to thank the Staff at Augustine House for the fantastic care he received for the past 8 years.

In lieu of flowers, please donate to Parkinson’s Canada. https://www.parkinson.ca/

STAPLETON, John Joseph “Jack” January 1, 1936- April 22, 2021 It is with profound sadness that the family of Jack announce his sudden passing.

Born in Calgary, Alberta, to Murray and Patricia, he was one of 10 children and is survived by his two youngest, Pat (Lydia) and Shiela (Dave).

Jack entered the Seminary to become a Priest, until he met the love of his life Irene Meyer. They married on June 29th, 1957 and had four children; Debbie, Ken (Christine), Dianne (Dave), Garry (Debra).

He is blessed with 7 grandchildren and 7 greatgrandchildren. He also had many nieces, nephews and close friends who he kept near to his heart.

Jack was a kind, gentle, spiritual, loving man who was well known for his wise and witty sense of humour. He will be fondly thought of and deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

A small family service was held on May 3rd, 2021, to give Jack the respectful send off he deserved.

PERSONAL MESSAGES It’s official... we’re one of those happy Match.com couples you see in the commercials.

WAND, Bernyce May 08, 2021 Bernyce died peacefully on May 8, 2021, at the age of 99.

Bernyce was born in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba in 1922. After completing high school she became a Registered Nurse in 1944 in Winnipeg. She moved back to Portage la Prairie to work in her new profession as a nurse. While volunteering at a social event for men training in the RCAF during World War II she met Reginald Wand, the love of her life.

When the war was over they got married and Reg took his new bride to Vancouver.

They had three children, Roxburgh, Dianne and Ken. In 1952 Reginald re−joined the RCAF. They lived on RCAF bases from Vancouver to PEI. Bernyce loved the life on bases, enjoying meeting new people and experiencing many different ways of life across Canada. She made a loving home for her family with every move. Bernyce and Reg moved back to BC in 1971 remaining in Tsawwassen for 50 years. Bernyce was very social and made many friends wherever she went.

Bernyce had many hobbies including Hula dancing, travelling (especially to Hawaii) and gardening. She was a Brownie Leader for years, and also loved the Theatre. She was a member of the Arts Club for many years. Bernyce was also a member of The Manitoba Association of Registered Nurses attending many reunions over the years. When living in Tsawwassen she worked as a nurse at Eatons.

Bernyce was a loving Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother, Daughter, Sister, Aunt and Friend.

She loved her family and many friends. She will be missed by us all.

Bernyce was predeceased by her husband, Reginald; her parents, Joseph and Rose; her brother, Roxburgh; and son−in−law, Phil.

She is survived by her children, Roxburgh (Treana), Dianne, and Ken; her grandchildren, Deneen (Curtis), Marlise (Ed), Darryl, Gordon (Chiara), Michael (Katia), and David (Amanda); and her great −grandchildren, Sharaya, Autumn, Ashton, Laurie, Caiden, Brennen, Summer, Lucy, and Talia; and nieces, nephews, and friends.

The family thanks the Waterford Care Unit Staff for the loving care they gave to Bernyce.

A Celebration of Life will be held at a date to be determined when we can all get together.
