United voice supports tunnel Mayors and chiefs reach consensus, urge province to get moving on crossing SANDOR GYARMATI

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

It’s looking like the Highway 99 corridor could get a new tunnel rather than a bridge, but the big question is when such a crossing would be in place. Delta Mayor George Harvie earlier this year got a group of mayors and First Nations chiefs together in the hope of achieving consensus and presenting a united voice to the provincial government on what to do about congestion at the aging George Massey Tunnel. The region then announced a new task force on the issue that includes representation from local governments and First Nations in the southwest part of the region, which last week made public a letter that was sent to Premier John Horgan in late March urging the NDP government to get moving on a new tunnel. The group notes the crossing should include six lanes for regular traffic and two lanes for transit, including the potential for high speed rail. The mayors and chiefs say any solution must address the matter in a timely manner, hopefully with con-

Regional mayors and First Nations chiefs have agreed on an eight-lane tunnel to replace the four-lane George Massey Tunnel. struction completed by 2025/2026. The letter supporting a new tunnel is a major change in position for Delta, which had been pushing for a bridge. “The letter contained a number of suggestions as to which could possibly be quicker with regards to getting an eventual opening of a new crossing. The consensus of the mayors was that they preferred a tunnel option that would not cause an environmental assessment,” Harvie told the Optimist last week. “But again, Delta was pro-bridge when the previous Liberal government was in, but then there was the provincial election and

there was the announcement by the current government that project was terminated. They wanted to hear from the mayors collectively, not just Delta, and I’m very pleased we have momentum with the mayors collectively within the region.” Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie told the Optimist a new tunnel was the consensus among the mayors and chiefs. He said if it can be done in a timely and cost effective way, then it should be a deep bored tunnel. “One of the important concepts of the letter is that whatever is done, it should be done in a timely manner,” Brodie said. The Green-backed

NDP government last year scrapped the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project, a $3.5-billion, 10-lane bridge plan initiated by the previous Liberal government. It was wholeheartedly supported by Delta, which in a series of reports stated it was a better solution than another tunnel. The bridge was opposed by other Metro Vancouver communities as well as the regional district. Two years ago, Richmond council endorsed a recommendation by its engineering staff which called for a twinning of the current tunnel. After the province quashed the bridge, it promised to have a busi-

ness case on a preferred crossing option by late 2020. The potential options include a smaller bridge, another tunnel as well as potentially keeping the existing 60-year-old tunnel as part of the solution. Harvie expressed concern that a new crossing wouldn’t be a reality until 2030 at the earliest. The Optimist asked the Ministry of Transportation how the consensus by regional politicians could affect the timeline, but an email response stated the target completion for the business case is fall 2020. Premier John Horgan said “progress will be made relatively quickly” now that mayors are on the same page but didn’t commit to the requested timeline, noting there are infrastructure challenges throughout B.C. Meanwhile, the Liberals say the NDP can no longer stall on replacing the tunnel now that there’s consensus among the mayors. “We’ve said all along that further studies and reviews are unnecessary and the delayed timeline of 2030 for project completion is totally unacceptable, but John Horgan and the NDP won’t listen,” said Delta South MLA Ian Paton.

New thrills and chills are expected at this year’s Boundary Bay Airshow, but it could come at a nominal cost. The show, dubbed “Better than Ever” by organizer Alpha Aviation, is set for Saturday, July 20 at Boundary Bay Airport. In a letter to Delta council this week, Alpha Aviation president Lynda Lacko said this year’s

show will feature a higher caliber of professional performers, including the Canadian Forces Snowbirds, record-breaking aerobatics champion Rob Holland and two Canadian F-18 Hornets. It will also welcome returning favourites Brent Handy, Vicki Benzing, Bud and Ross Granley, The Erickson Collection, Grace Borsari and Fred Kaiser. An estimated 17,000 people attended the show in 2018, but Lacko antici-

pates a significant increase this year due to the new performers. “We are beyond excited to have secured these breathtaking performers, but with this comes additional expenses that will exceed the budget from previous airshows,” stated Lacko. As a result, Alpha has been given approval to charge $10/vehicle to park at the airport for the show with Delta residents being given priority to pre-

purchase parking tickets. Funds from the parking will go to offset costs for Delta’s traffic management plans. “In the past there has not been a vehicle fee, but this year we are anticipating a greater number of people attending,” said parks and recreation director Ken Kuntz. “Complicating that is there are already 1,000 parking stalls that are lost due to the development at the airport, so we really have

had to work hard with engineering, police, fire and others to come up with a parking management strategy.” Kuntz said although there will be pay parking on-site, the airshow will still be free for those who take a shuttle to the airport. “We intend to have two shuttle sites where a shuttle will pick people up at least every 10 minutes and take you to the entrance of the airport,” he said.

Tourism would help but the village should remain geared for locals. Members of the Ladner Village renewal advisory committee agreed that should be their goal during their first meeting at the Delta Museum Annex last Wednesday. “We need a village to be a place that serves the locals first. The tourism market, it’s a fickle one and you can’t count on just that,” said committee member Sharon Townsend. Saying she’d like to see a village that’s walkable and gives locals a reason not to leave, member Amy McFee, who runs the Ladner’s Landing Facebook group, agreed, noting she doesn’t want to see Delta try to create another Steveston that is strictly a tourist spot. McFee said businesses need to be supported the entire year, not just during tourist season. Committee members talked about their vision for the future of the area and what they’d like to see the group accomplish. There was general consensus the city needs to create an area that offers an experience, a reason for people to come to Ladner Village, including those from outside the community. The main focus, though, should be on supporting businesses yearround. They also agreed on the need for increased residential densification and strategic incentives to encourage redevelopment. “Granville Island is a wonderful place but

The Ladner Village renewal advisory committee held its first meeting April 24. it’s too busy and there’s nowhere to park,” said Coun. Bruce McDonald, who chairs the committee. “Some of the classic attractions in Vancouver are not that attractive anymore and that’s because they’re just too busy.” As far as densification, members agreed that allowing just two storeys of residential above ground level retail wouldn’t be enough to attract developers. Noting everything is on the table, McDonald said he was disappointed when Delta council backed off proposed changes to encourage redevelopment several years ago due to opposition by a group of residents. “We’re going to go through this like what we’re going to go through in Tsawwassen (town centre) in the next couple of years. It’s not going to be easy, but it’s going to happen,” said the veteran civic

politician. Agreeing the village needs to leverage a heritage feel, the committee also discussed how increased densification will be the catalyst for encouraging more businesses to locate in the area. Several members noted parking shouldn’t a major issue as long as the village has good walkability. Solving the water lot lease issue remains a priority, said McDonald, noting the provincial government’s refusal to provide longer term leases that would encourage developers to invest in the waterfront, including the municipally-owned Seven Seas site that was put up for sale, has hampered things. However, the issue could be solved if the province decided to offer 30-year leases, he said, adding it would be enough to spark change.

He said the waterfront “is absolutely critical” when it comes to renewing the village. Coun. Dylan Kruger, the committee vice-chair, who said they have “a once in a generation opportunity” to revitalize Ladner Village, agreed everything should be on the table and that they shouldn’t be bound to past decisions. He told the Optimist the committee will also look at municipally-owned assets, including the Seven Seas site and museum annex building. The committee also completed some business by agreeing to recommend to council that the city asks Telus if the blank wall on its building on 48th Avenue be painted with a mural. Several noted something colourful, vibrant and different should be painted on the wall, rather than a typical heritage mural.

Donor behind big developments Major supporter of mayor’s slate has proposals in all three Delta communities 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 developer behind some neighbourhoodaltering developments completed or currently planned in Delta was also one of the biggest donors to Mayor George Harvie’s election campaign. Maple Leaf Homes, the developer of Delta Rise, the city’s first high-rise, currently has higher density development proposals in the works in all three Delta communities. Harvie said everything is being done in compliance with the rules when asked about Maple Leaf Homes and the family behind it, the Sharmas, whom some on social media have claimed might be getting favourable treatment thanks to their big contributions. Hema and Anjali Sharma each made $10,000 donations to the Achieving for Delta slate in the fall of 2017 just before new campaign contribution limits came into effect. The slate, which saw Harvie and four Delta council members get elected, received a total of $65,000 from five big donors, all developers, prior to new rules that aim to get big money out of civic campaigns. Harvie, who didn’t officially announce his candidacy until May 2018, told the Optimist it’s a question every politician goes through. “It’s not a new subject. A number of people receive donations, all political

candidates. My job as mayor is to look at each application by its merit and I am just one vote on council. It’s also important to know that each project is developed and brought along by staff, not by council,” he said. Satish Sharma told the Optimist the company’s developments are mostly aimed at addressing the lack of entry-level housing as well as units for those wanting to downsize. The market has slowed, due in part to new mortgage rules making it tougher for new buyers to get into the market, which is why people are seeking smaller units at a lower price, he explained. “The stress test is making people get down to a smaller unit of home that they should be buying, so it’s a matter of getting them something smaller we can sell. It’s become all about price point and the banks are only approving people for so much mortgage, so it doesn’t leave them with much options,” Sharma said. Maple Leaf Homes ventured into uncharted territory when it built Delta Rise, a 37-storey tower at 80th Avenue and Scott Road in North Delta. It consists of more than 300 units on top of four floors of office and retail space. It’s undoubtedly a landscaping-altering development for Delta, particularly the Scott Road corridor, which has been eyed for major redevelopment and densification by the city. The company is looking

to build another high-rise, a 31-storey tower in the 9500-block of Scott Road. The Delta Sky application is for 220 residential units with 1,356 square feet of commercial space. That proposal is currently on hold at the request of the applicant until Delta

completes the Townline Neighbourhood Plan. In South Delta, Maple Leaf Homes doesn’t have any high-rise plans, but it’s looking to construct townhouses after consolidating single-family lots. The company has a 40-unit townhouse development proposed for seven single-family lots in the 4800- and 4900-blocks of 57th Street in Ladner. That application is still in the neighbourhood consultation process.

in Tsawwassen. The 37-unit project unanimously received preliminary approval from council Monday night and has been forwarded to a public hearing. “I do believe that we need variation in housing and I think this is probably right at the edge of imposing on the community,

but I think it is certainly worthwhile taking it to a public hearing to listen to the community,” Coun. Bruce McDonald said during discussion on the proposal. Noting the project has been winding its way through the process for a couple of years, Sharma said he’s hoping a new city task force aimed at streamlining the lengthy development process, a problem seen in varying degrees in other Lower Mainland municipalities, will yield some results. Maple Leaf Homes was also involved in a land deal with the city which is now seeing construction of the Delta Gardens housing complex on 84th Avenue in North Delta. The development includes 110 apartments in two six-storey buildings and 12 townhouses. Part of the complex is at the site of the old Firehall Centre for the Arts. The city used the proceeds of the sale of that parcel to help build a new arts centre adjacent to the North Delta Recreation Centre. The land sale was subject to approval of the housing development. Harvie said there are a number of measures each application must go through, and that staff members are independent as they prepare reports with recommendations to council on how to proceed. “Our reports come independently from council until such time as the application is before us, then I as an individual

will analyze and make my decision based on the merits of the project,” the mayor explained. Back in 2010 council dealt with the issue of developers and campaign contributions, obtaining a legal opinion that council members who received contributions from a developer were not in a conflict when dealing with his application. Council at the time ordered staff to obtain the legal opinion after several residents raised the issue at a public hearing for the Tsawwassen Springs development. Opponents claimed there could be a perceived conflict by councillors who had accepted campaign donations from the applicant, businessman Ron Toigo. “The mere fact that a member of council has accepted a campaign contribution from a donor does not, in and of itself, disqualify that member from discussing and voting on a development application made by that donor or a company associated with that donor,” stated the opinion from Bull, Housser and Tupper LLP. “As the only allegation of a conflict of interest in this case is the acceptance of the campaign contribution, it is our view... that the affected members of council do not have a direct pecuniary (monetary) interest or other interest in the rezoning application sufficient to disqualify them from taking part in the discussion of and voting on the matter.”

A proposal by Four Winds to set up a brewery and restaurant on the Southlands was narrowly rejected by Delta council last month.

Talks are underway but no revised proposal yet

Will a revised Four Winds proposal come back to Delta council for another look? That question was posed Monday by Coun. Bruce McDonald to planning director Marcy Sangret, who said staff has not received any information on a revised proposal from the craft brewer. “We have had a meeting with Century Group following council’s decision to turn down the application as proposed,” said Sangret. “They have been directed to review the minutes to determine when or if they will come back with an alternative proposal.” City manager Sean McGill added that staff also met with Four Winds last week with a commitment to meet again this week. “We need to talk and understand their needs and put everything on the table,” McGill said. “My intent is to meet with them and very quickly to see if we can come to

some other alternatives and bring some resolution quickly to this and come back to council.” Adam Mills, the sales and marketing director at Four Winds, previously told the Optimist the company is disappointed but is considering its options. “It was a bit of a shock and we kind of expected it to work out. We put so much energy, time and investment into it. We are definitely going to look at our options and work with Century Group and the City of Delta to see if there’s a way we can come up with a resolution or alternative plan,” Mills said. Meanwhile, supporters continue to press for action through a petition on change.org. As of Tuesday afternoon, more than 6,400 had signed the petition in support of the company. Local resident Dan Patching started the petition. “We think that Delta City Council made the wrong decision. We want the craft brewery and restaurant to be approved

as is, and think that Four Winds will help to anchor this community and provide a much-needed social gathering space,” Patching stated on the petition. Four Winds has also received mostly supportive comments on the Optimist’s Facebook page with many angered at council’s decision. The majority of people who came out for the public hearing were opposed to the application. Last month, council voted 4-3 to reject the application. Four Winds Brewing applied to build a craft brewery and 200-seat restaurant in the commercial component of the Southlands development. The proposal would have seen the brewery and eatery housed in, according to city staff, a 30,000-square-foot building. It would have contained the brewing and bottling components of the operation, while the warehousing and distribution would have been handled at an industrial location elsewhere.

Murphy’s Law

TED MURPHY

alk about burying the lead. Metro Vancouver mayors and First Nations chiefs recently sent a letter to Premier John Horgan that had a couple of major themes: they had reached a consensus when it comes to a replacement for the George Massey Tunnel and they want immediate action on the traffic bottleneck. Tucked away near the end of the letter, after the regional politicians had listed nine agreed upon bullet points, was this little morsel: “We believe only tunnel options, including a cost-effective deep bored tunnel if possible, should be considered.” What? Up to that point a tunnel replacement had only been referred to as the “project” or the “crossing” so that paragraph tucked away at the bottom of the second page was as enlightening as anything in the letter given there’s been a bridge vs. tunnel debate for several years now. Delta Mayor George Harvie had been a vocal supporter of a bridge, even campaigning on the issue last fall, but I guess if a tunnel is what’s necessary to get other mayors on board and finally get this issue addressed, then a tunnel it must be. In a previous life as the city’s top bureaucrat, Harvie had made it clear that a bridge was a superior option to a tunnel, but he’s quickly learning that politics is the art of compromise. Now that regional politicians are on the same page, the project should theoretically move forward at a faster clip, although Horgan seemed receptive but non-committal when asked about this latest development. At the very least, the business case for a new crossing, scheduled to be complete late next year, should be expedited. After all, the NDP’s goal was to devise a plan that would satisfy local government, which has already been done given mayors and chiefs have agreed that an eightlane tunnel, complete with two lanes dedicated to transit, is the way to go. An analysis of the preferred option is necessary, as is public consultation, government approval and an environmental review, but can all of that happen, as well as actually constructing the crossing, by 2025 or 2026 as the mayors and chiefs would like if we wait another 18 months for a business case? The consensus moves this forward, but it’s up to the NDP to maintain that momentum.

Locals must endure a barrage of non-conforming proposals

s I read the April 18 edition of the Optimist I noticed that four of the letters to the editor, Ted Murphy’s column, Mike Schneider’s Community Comment and the article on the demolition of the Delta Town & Country Inn all had one aspect in common: The residents of South Delta suffer from a constant barrage of development proposals that don’t conform to the Official Community Plan or zoning bylaws. Why do neighbourhoods and concerned citizens have to spend so much time and effort to oppose or review projects that are obviously against the rules and regulations that are in place to ensure the nature of the community and the peace and quiet of people’s homes and neighbourhoods? How did an industrial brewery ever even get accepted for consideration by the planning department when it’s proposed for the middle of a residential area? I would like the three councillors who supported this application to write this paper and explain why a brewery would be good for the Southlands. Remember the process to approve the Southlands? It was supposed to be a small community with small single-family dwellings for first-time buyers and downsizers. Now it’s got three-storey walk-ups, useless to downsizers, and they’re propos-

Community Comment GREG HOOVER

ing to mix in a brewery. Certainly appears to be no hesitation to submit projects with complete disregard for zoning and bylaws. Delta has very specific bylaws that don’t allow any form of gaming but those were amended to allow a casino to be built on the Delta Town & Country Inn site, which answers the requests South Deltans have had for years to install our very own casino! Ladner has had to tolerate the constant smell from the Vancouver Landfill for decades and as the landfill nears closure Delta allows a composting facility to be built and expand not far from the homes of East Ladner. What were they thinking? Do any councillors live in East Ladner? So now applications are being made to build towers at least 12 storeys high in the heart of Tsawwassen. Not only does Delta have bylaws restricting building heights but a project of this nature will be in complete con-

trast with the community and have no compatibility with the immediate business area. We elect a council to manage the community and enforce the bylaws, and council hires people in the planning department to review applications for projects to ensure they comply with requirements. Why do we have a planning department when anything and everything is allowed to be submitted for consideration and unless severe public pushback occurs, the project seems to usually go through? Sometimes it goes the other way. Beach Grove Golf Club has extra land at the north end of the course at 16th Avenue. It had support from city hall so it worked with a developer who was going to build single-family homes. When the developer finished drawings and went for permits, Delta refused his application and said the project had to change to multi-family housing which doesn’t work on the site. South Deltans bought their homes here because they didn’t want to live in Vancouver or Burnaby or in the Tilbury Industrial Park for that matter. Why does council always side with the men of wealth and taste and not listen to members of the community? Greg Hoover is a project manager in industrial and commercial construction who has lived with Christina in Tsawwassen for over 25 years.

Walkable communities still create plenty of vehicles

Editor: Re: Many benefits to be realized from walkable communities, Community Comment, April 18 I entirely agree with Mike Schneider’s praise of walkable communities. The fact remains, however, that most people own at least one car which has to be parked somewhere; plenty of Tsawwassen families own three or four cars — two parents, two young adults. The east and west parking areas of Town Centre Mall total about 12,500 square metres and hold about 360 cars when full; this occurs at certain times of the week. The Southlands residential development will contribute at least 1,000 cars — possibly as many as 3,000 — to the traffic on 56th Street. Some of those drivers will be trying to park in the already full town centre parking. The 700 apartments proposed by Century Group for the town centre will demand at least 700

The Century Group recently unveiled a redevelopment plan for the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall that includes eight buildings in what’s been called a mixed-use urban village. designated parking spots with additional parking for visitors. Century Group says, vaguely: “Most parking moved to a wellplanned underground parking structure…” To offer no more than one parking spot per apartment — no visitor parking — and to replace the existing capacity will need something like 35,000 square metres of lighted

and ventilated underground parking. Suppose 700 happily walking apartment dwellers take their cars out and return once in an 84-hour active week — most people use their cars more than that, and allowing for visitors — that is one vehicle movement every three minutes added to the 56th Street gridlock. Tom Morrison

seemed very short sighted. They provide both food and shelter for the birds, rabbits and coyotes. If they are to be replaced with thimble berries or salmon berries, these bushes do not have the long berry season associated with the blackberries and therefor are not as effective in providing food. The other disappointment was the roped fencing near the beach area. I

have been walking there five mornings a week for over 25 years. I do not see people walking over this fragile area. Perhaps the weekend crowd takes it over but I hardly think so. It does not enhance the natural look that the park is supposed to maintain. Again, we do enjoy the walks immensely but wish to see it kept in a natural state. June and Jim Morin

High cost of government has to be recognized by sincere political representation by those who are elected. It will only come when the electorate has reached its point of collapse and cannot afford higher government costs.

Well qualified persons dedicated to the electorate (and control of the bureaucracy) and not to political party survival have to reduce government costs (including waste of taxation income) before the collapse comes. Dale Pitts

52nd Street stop sign creates major bottleneck

Editor: Why on earth is there a stop sign at the top of the hill southbound on 52nd Street in Tsawwassen whereas the northbound

lane is stop sign free? A flashing yellow caution light or a yield sign would be a major improvement to assist traffic flow.

Currently traffic backs up to the point that this traffic corridor is a real hassle to use. It’s time to fix this problem. Barrie McDonald

Editor: Re: Unlikely label, Murphy’s Law, April 25 Ted Murphy’s column where he obliquely chides the mayor for voting against the Four Winds proposal — i.e., following not only the laid down requirements for this component of the Southlands but also heeding the concerns of those most affected by such a proposal, the residents of Boundary Bay — comes across as unreserved support for this Machiavellian stratagem. The Four Winds/ Southlands proposal has been voted down and that should be an end to it but

being a seasoned cynic, I suggest that the feigned outrage, alarm and dismay at this rejection is simply another step in obtaining approval. This is how Century Group managed to have the Southlands approved you put forward a proposal which you know will be rejected due to the massive scope and then gradually “compromise” until the proposal is acceptable. This same approach will no doubt be used by Four Winds and Century Group, working closely together, both good corporate citizens by the way, to attempt to force this pro-

posal through. Nothing much wrong with that, it is how business if often conducted, but what is not needed here is Murphy’s thinly disguised support for such a proposal. Quote: “Given the level of support, even from those with concerns about the scope and/ or location, it’s hard not to envision some sort of revised application resurfacing that’s tweaked just enough that it ends up meeting with Delta council’s approval.” Nice try, Murphy, but such distortion is not needed. B. Mckenna

Another vote for putting brewery next to casino Editor: Re: Put brewery next to casino, letter to the editor, April 25 I want to lend my full support to Paul Lowry’s proposal that suggested the Four Winds brewery be moved next to the site of the new casino. This is a fantastic idea. Then Four Winds can have its brewery and restaurant away from a residential area but where there is lots of foot

traffic and ready patrons. By the way, I also belong to change.org and anyone from around Canada or the world can sign any petition that is listed, as I have done for petitions within Canada and other countries. So I don’t know how many of those 5,000-plus signatories on the petition about the brewery are actually Tsawwassen residents (vs other B.C. resi-

dents or other Canadians or internationals) and actually know anything about the Southlands project. The petitioner, Four Winds and Century Group are sure getting some mileage out of it though. Give Boundary Bay residents a break and locate this industrial business by the new casino. It belongs there. D. Wong

TFN’s Tanya Corbet seeks Conservative nomination

Former member of First Nation’s legislature has extensive community involvement SANDOR GYARMATI

The Tsawwassen First Nation’s Tanya Corbet announced Wednesday she is seeking the Conservative nomination in Delta for the upcoming federal election. “I would be honoured to represent the community of Delta and advocate for our prosperity and the preservation of the quality of life that we enjoy,” said Corbet, who offi-

cially launched her bid at Tsawwassen Springs. “I am passionate for my community and have dedicated much of my life to enhance community projects and organizations. And I am always amazed by the strong connection of community members to support one another in Delta. I would like to take my passion and level of commitment to the federal stage.” Corbet is a former council member of the TFN

government but did not seek re-election earlier this year. Her community involvement includes being a member of Reach Child Youth Development Society board, Delta Hospital and Community Health Foundation board as well as a member of the B.C. Capacity Initiative Council. She also served as vice-chair of the Kwantlen Polytechnic University board and was on the B.C. Treaty Commission.

Metro’s annual sprinkling restrictions now in effect Lawn watering limited to two mornings a week in effort to conserve water for summertime

Metro Vancouver’s lawn watering regulations came into effect yesterday. The restrictions, which will remain in place until Oct. 15, limit sprinkling to two mornings a week. Even-numbered addresses can water lawns on Wednesdays and Saturdays from 4 to 9 a.m., while odd-numbered addresses can do the same on Thursdays and Sundays. Watering trees, shrubs and flowers is permitted

any day, from 4 to 9 a.m. if using a sprinkler, or any time if hand watering or using drip irrigation. All hoses must have an automatic shut-off device. “Lawn watering regulations have resulted in significant reductions in peak summer water demand and we encourage people to continue respecting these seasonal regulations, especially as we experience hotter and drier summers,” said Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro

Vancouver’s water committee. “Impacts of climate change result in longer dry spells in the summer, meaning we all have to do our part to conserve water when we can.” Metro Vancouver’s drinking water supply relies on snowpack and cumulative precipitation to bolster the water levels in the three reservoirs that supply drinking water. Recent snowpack surveys conducted in the Capilano, Seymour and

Coquitlam watersheds show snowpack levels are slightly lower than average for this time of year, but reservoir levels are expected to reach 100 per cent by June. Metro Vancouver’s three alpine lakes — Palisade, Burwell, and Loch Lomond — which are used as reserves for the Capilano and Seymour reservoirs in late summer, are also anticipated to be at full capacity by early summer.

UBC findings help improve Delta soils

Five-year study evaluates impacts of grassland set-asides on farms in the Fraser River delta KAREN LEE

Optimist contributor

Farming in Delta is becoming increasingly difficult due to the high cost of land, urban encroachment and impending climate change challenges that include more frequent weather extremes, prolonged droughts and rising sea levels. To investigate how to make farming more sustainable for Delta producers in light of these challenges, UBC’s Maja Krzic and Sean Smukler are running a five-year study evaluating the impacts of grassland set-asides on soils and crop yields in the Fraser River delta. A set-aside involves resting soil for one to four years by replacing cash crops with a mixture of grasses and legumes to improve the productivity of the land over the longterm. As part of this study, Jason Lussier, a recent MSc graduate from the UBC Soil Science Program, led a study of eight fields in the set-aside program to evaluate the influence on soil structure and compaction, which are key for crop productivity. The Canadian Journal of Soil Science has published this research, providing important findings that will assist producers in the Fraser River delta to integrate grassland set-asides more effectively into their

The UBC research team included Lussier, associate professor Krzic, assistant professor Smukler, associate professor emeritus Art Bomke and Drew Bondar, program manager at Delta Farmland & Wildlife Trust. They discovered farmers who enrolled fields that were productive saw improved soil productivity after two seasons in the grassland set-aside program. Those who enrolled fields that were highly degraded with very little, if any at all, vegetation saw different results. As vegetation is largely what provides restorative benefits to the soil, as expected, the highly degraded fields did not show any differences in soil properties after two

seasons in the program. These finding support using grassland set-asides on productive fields in the Fraser River delta region for a duration of two seasons as a crop rotation practice to improve soil productivity. Degraded fields likely require additional management practices, or a longer period of enrollment, before seeing improvements. The team was also able to identify sodium levels in soils as a good indicator for determining which fields might be suitable for the program. Much of the farmland in the Fraser River delta is surrounded by ocean, and some fields in the region are vulnerable to the accumulation of ocean salts, such as

sodium, either through ocean water intrusion or salt contamination in irrigation water. High levels of sodium are highly toxic to plants and might also be an indicator underlying drainage issues — both of these factors can severely hinder vegetation growth and could lead to highly degraded farmland. The research team set preliminary thresholds of soil sodium levels that will be of practical value to farmers in determining which fields should be incorporated into the Grassland Set-aside Stewardship Program and which fields likely need other management practices to address land productivity issues prior to being enrolled in this

program. Salinity-related issues are projected to increase in Delta due to climate change-induced sea level rise and this preliminary work could also provide a foundation for future studies that will evaluate the impacts of this important soil property on crop production. Having grown up in the Fraser River delta region, Lussier is proud to have been part of the research, which will contribute to a productive agricultural industry in the region for the benefit of both farmers and the community. Lussier has been coordinator of the BC Agricultural Climate Adaptation Research Network for the last two

years. He has worked with researchers, industry specialists, policy-makers, farmers and ranchers from across the province to promote cross-sector collaboration in the development of a climate-resilient agriculture sector. This research was carried out in close collaboration with Delta Farmland & Wildlife Trust, an organization that provides farmers in the Fraser River delta region with costshare payments to undertake land management practices that promote both wildlife conservation and sustainable agricultural operations. The trust funds the Grassland Set-aside Stewardship Program so farmers in the region can rest their fields under a grass and clover stand for up to four years. UBC researchers have been collaborating with the trust for more than 25 years. This study is just one example of how academic cooperation with external partners can provide applied research findings that directly contribute to the farming community. The primary funder of this grassland set-aside project was Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Delta Farmland & Wildlife Trust, Mitacs, NSERC and UBC have also contributed funding to the project. Karen Lee is with the UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems.

Brian and Nikki Losse donated over $5,400 to Tsawwassen Baseball in memory of their son Kyle, a talented local player who died of a stroke last year.

Losses raise over $5,000 for park improvements to honour Kyle

Brian and Nikki Losse have raised money that will fund improvements at Winskill Park in honour of their late son Kyle. Dedicated to raising funds to help the Tsawwassen Baseball Association, which opened its season on the weekend, the couple started a clothing line, Fourteen Athletics, in honour of Kyle’s No. 14. “We had a big announcement yesterday

at Tsawwassen Baseball’s Opening Day (April 27),” the Losses posted on their Fourteen Athletics Facebook page. “Thanks to all of you and your support we were able to donate back $5,414 to TABA!!! With this donation we plan to do some field upgrades so make sure you stop by Winskill throughout the season to check it out! PS. With all the excitement we forgot to take a pic at the field!!” On their Facebook page, the Losses explain how the inspiration came from

Kyle, who passed away on Jan. 23, 2018 due to a stroke at the age of 14. “We not only wanted a way to honour our son but to also inspire future youth who share the same passion for sports as Kyle did. It is our hope that this brand will continue to spread, but to also inspire players of all ages to try their best and reach for their dreams – just like Kyle was doing.” They’re planning the second annual Kyle Losse Memorial Tournament on the July long weekend.

Errant golf shots have a language all their own

Living Matters

BARBARA GUNN

I’ve long known what it means when a golf ball lips out. I’ve long known what a tap in is, and what is meant by an up and down. Dog leg? Absolutely. Not simply something you’d find on a collie. That doesn’t mean, however, that I’m completely up to speed on golf speak. Of late, I am hearing it more and more. This is because the husband has returned to the game with a vengeance — and will talk about it to whoever cares to listen. “How was your round?”

I will ask when the husband comes off 18. Given that I am polite enough to ask, the husband will begin to inform me, sometimes hole by hole. “I got off to a decent start even though my chipping wasn’t great. Made par on nine and 10, but then I chili dipped my chip on 11,” he told me recently. Hmm, I thought to myself. I knew what a gimme is. I even knew what it means to have the yips. But I had never heard of this chili dip thing, which I wouldn’t have imagined was a verb. “You chili dipped 11?” I asked. “Yes,” said the husband. “That means I hit it thin.” I still wasn’t getting the picture, but I was pretty sure this was not a good thing. On other occasions, the husband has informed me that he had hit his ball fat, which I imagine is the opposite of hitting it thin, even though neither is

Opportunity to Comment on Preliminary Price Cap Decision for Next Performance Term

presumably a Tiger-variety golf shot. At other times, the husband has chunked his shot, pulled his shot, flared his shot, flubbed his shot and fanned on his shot, none of which have made him particularly happy. But when he told me he’d air-mailed his shot, I was rather surprised that he wasn’t smiling. Wouldn’t most golfers aspire to air-mailing their shots? This is not to say that the husband is generally disappointed with his strokes. “I’m really pleased with the way I played today,” the husband reported a week or so ago. “You wouldn’t have believed my shot on 17. I flushed it!” Hmm, I thought again. “What does that mean?” I asked. “That means I hit it pure,” he replied. OK, I thought. Pure is the way you want to play. The chili-dip thing? Not so much.

On April 1, 2019 the British Columbia Ferries Commissioner (“Commissioner”) announced his decision regarding the preliminary price caps for the next performance term. The Commissioner set the preliminary price caps at a maximum increase of 2.3% annually from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2024. The Commissioner is seeking public comment on his preliminary price cap decision by June 30, 2019 as part of the process of making a final decision on the price caps for the next performance term by September 30, 2019. The Commissioner’s report on his preliminary price cap decision, his News Release and the Assessment of BC Ferries’ submissions for the next performance term may be found on the Commissioner’s website at www.bcferrycommission.ca Comments or submissions can be sent by email to info@bcferrycommission.ca or by mail to: Office of the BC Ferries Commissioner PO Box 9279 Stn Prov Govt Victoria, BC V8W 9J7 Deadline for public comments is June 30, 2019.

ity after Jesus’ crucifixion, following the resurrection Jesus appeared to those same disciples and his first words to them were, “Peace be with you.” We all need to hear a word of peace spoken into our times of challenge and turmoil. Our faith in Jesus sustaining grace is the deep source for that peace. Tapping into this source of peace during our experiences of dislocation/ instability, we can repeatedly reaffirm that God has turned our mourning into dancing! God has taken off our sackcloth and clothed us with joy. We are God’s people. Let us be at peace with God, with one another, and with ourselves. May it be so.

The experience of dislocation/instability can and does occur in many different ways and with varying levels of challenge or turmoil. Living in the midst of being dislocated because of an unexpected home renovation due to a burst water pipe, while not being a chosen and/ or planned situation, is nothing like the dislocation/instability of the massive refugee issues of our world. The renovation is frustrating and disruptive but it is what I am calling a “First World problem,” meaning this can be handled and life can go forward. Stability is one of those aspects of daily life that we human beings value

Opening night is just around the corner for Delta Youth Theatre. The second show of the 2018/19 season is Mary Poppins, Jr., which will be on stage at Genesis Theatre in Ladner from May 8 to 12. Featuring four casts of young people, the 80-minute musical is based on the classic P.L. Travers stories and the 1964 Walt Disney film. It includes an irresistible score and the magical adventures that ensue when a curious new nanny comes to stay with the Banks family. The four casts feature

more than 80 students from Delta, Surrey, Richmond and Langley. The company is led by co-artistic directors Tony Barton and Tracy Neff, and is accompanied by a talented student creative and production team. “We are excited to bring this classic, family favourite to Delta on the heels of the new movie, Mary Poppins Returns,” said Barton. “It’s a feel-good show, with familiar, joyous tunes.” Barton said Delta Youth Theatre’s choreographic team is really excited for this one and has set the bar high. “I’m continually impressed with the stu-

Claire Bidulka and Bryce Malenstyn also star in Mary Poppins Jr.

The laughs will be served up by the bucket-full at South Delta Secondary’s Equinox Theatre this Saturday. A comedy night featuring four comedians will help raise funds for SDSS Dry Grad 2019. Tsawwassen’s Billy Mitchell will host and open the show, followed by up-and-comer Sam Tonning. Veteran comedian Nelson Giles will

wrap up the first half of the show. After a short intermission, which will provide time to enjoy the licensed lounge and buy raffle tickets, Mitchell will get the crowd back in a good mood in preparation for headline act Chris Yuill, a multiple award-winning comedian/magician who tours worldwide.

dents’ dedication and their ability to rise to a professional performance standard,” he said. “It’s clear from one rehearsal to the next these young actors are working hard and are invested in the production.” Neff said it also has poi-

gnantly relevant content about working class families and the importance of finding the fun in life. Adapted especially for young performers, the show includes favourite Sherman brothers’ songs such as A Spoonful of Sugar and Feed the Birds as well as new songs by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe. Building pre-professional skills in the performing arts is the big focus of what Delta Youth Theatre offers to young people, but directors Barton and Neff also acknowledge there’s another kind of skill learning that goes on as their student casts work together.

“In a time where social media and screens are such a big part of our students’ lives, we are proud to watch our actors work and create together,” said Neff. “They are focused on the task at hand, they are motivated and they bring their ‘A’ game. The result of their collaboration is a feeling of family and the sense of mutual pride that results from accomplishing something great.” Tickets for Mary Poppins, Jr. are $25. They’re available online at https://www.deltayouththeatre.com/ or by calling 604-417-7748. Cast and performance times are also available on the website.

Fuggles and Warlock Craftworks, and Nutril Vodka and organic coffee donated by Wood N Frog will all be available for purchase at the event. Tickets are available at The Wood N Frog and Albany Books in Tsawwassen or online at EventBrite.ca. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door. The comedy night is a 19-plus event.

A benefit concert for the Community Fund of Faith is up next in the Sunday @3 concert series at Ladner United Church. This Sunday, May 5 will feature performances from the Ladner Glee Club and ElderCollege Singers. Admission for the 3 p.m. show is by donation. The Community Fund of Faith was formed in 1997 by local churches as a means to provide financial assistance to those in need within South Delta. For the past 14 years, the ElderCollege Singers have been performing concerts both spring and fall at care homes and

senior residences in Delta. Under the direction of Patricia Rogers and accompanist Rodney Asher, the 30-member singing group rehearses on Tuesday afternoons at Ladner United Church. In addition to this Sunday’s performance, the group has a public concert at KinVillage Community Centre in Tsawwassen on Tuesday, May 21 at 2 p.m. Under the direction of Mavis Weston and pianists Marg Lepp and Lorraine Jarvis, the Ladner Glee Club is looking forward to joining the ElderCollege Singers for an afternoon of music.

Ladner Glee Club is an all-women’s singing group that was formerly directed by Jane Pallan for almost four decades. It was her vision to bring the joy of music to the local communities. Upon Pallan’s retirement, Weston took up the baton to continue the tradition and today the choir has grown to include 25 members. The Ladner Glee Club sings at special events such as club luncheons and teas. It also performs two concert series a year, one in the spring and one in the fall, entertaining at facilities throughout the city.

OWL’s weekend open house offers a look behind scenes

Get a behind the scenes look at one of the busiest raptor rehabilitation centres in Canada at the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society’s (OWL) annual open house. Set to run from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday, the open house will take visitors through the 72nd Street facility, providing a peak at the medical area, various rehabilitation enclosures and see the process from intake to release. Visitors will be able to meet OWL’s local raptor species and learn about what OWL and its volunteers do. The highlight of the open house will be the release of a rehabilitated bird on both days at 1 p.m. Tours will leave on every half hour and there will be two raptor meet and greets each day where you can get a close up view of some of the permanent residents. In addition, David Hancock will talk about

Former superintendent leads teachers to Kenya

B.C. educators share technology knowledge at four rural schools Former Delta school superintendent John Anderson led a team of seven B.C. educators to Kenya last month to share their technology knowledge with teachers in four rural schools. With the support of many of the 50 clubs in Rotary District 5040, including the Rotary clubs of Ladner and Tsawwassen, and a grant from the international Rotary Foundation, the team of teachers was building on the work of a previous Rotary District 5040 Foundation grant that provided computer labs to two schools in the

Kitui region, southeast of Nairobi. The Kenyan teachers in the region have since reached out for support in implementing these new teaching methods in four of their schools. Anderson, a Tsawwassen resident and past District 5040 governor, said the teachers were chosen for their strength in using technology in everyday teaching. They planned the visit for months, but knew their workshop material and teaching approach would have to change once they understood more clearly the needs of their Kenyan

colleagues. The team held four workshops over a twoweek period, focused on improving instruction for digital literacy and implementing the “4 Cs” of 21st century learning: critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and

communication. The aim was to provide a common language and an understanding of the concepts to bring about instructional change. The Kenyan teachers and their students wanted plenty of time at the computers and in exploring content on the new Rachel Plus devices, which connect offline learners to the world’s knowledge in over 40 countries where Internet access does not exist or is limited. At the end of the second week the team transferred the technology it had been using in the workshops: each of the four schools received two laptop computers, a projector and two Rachel Plus machines. “Whether it was teaching in the schools, conducting workshops or addressing 700 student teachers at South Eastern

Kenya University, our team didn’t miss a step,” said Anderson. “Because of their planning and their willingness to adapt to meet the presenting needs, the teachers and students were quick to show appreciation. They are an amazing group which didn’t stop working, sharing or having fun for the whole time they were there.” The team included Kristina Willing and Helen Erickson from Smithers Secondary, Tu Loan Trieu from Ecole Glenbrook Middle School in New Westminster, Jason Chow from Richmond Secondary, Tom Morley from RC Palmer Secondary in Richmond and Andy Beadon from St. Thomas More Collegiate in Burnaby. A group of Kenyan teachers will visit B.C. in November.

Ladner family raising funds to help bring mobility to those in Uganda IAN JACQUES

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

A Ladner family is doing its part to help those with disability and mobility issues in Uganda. The Mosers (dad Mike, mom Erin, daughter Eden and son Justus) are heading to Uganda in late July to work alongside Father’s Heart Mobility Ministry, providing those in need of mobility with wheelchairs and crutches. The family is part of a mission through Horizon Church in Surrey. “As well as bringing mobility, we hope to lessen the stigma that still surrounds disability there, as well as show those we are helping that they have value and are loved,” said Erin. “In 2008/2009, I actually spent my third year of college in Kampala, Uganda, working with street boys and doing kids’ events, so I am beyond thrilled to take my family there to meet the country and people that I love.” Before the family

Dylan Kruger join in delivering the first bowls of the season.

Islanders roar back to win opener Delta scores five unanswered goals to edge Burnaby in front of 300 fans at LLC It turned out the opening night promotion for about 300 fans at the Ladner Leisure Centre on Saturday was getting three games for the price of one. The Delta Islanders ultimately pulled out a 9-8 victory over the Burnaby Lakers to open their B.C. Junior “A” Lacrosse League regular season. The visitors look like they were well on their way to victory when they erased a 3-1 first period deficit by scoring seven of the games’ next eight goals. When Sam La Roue beat goaltender Brody Harris, it gave Burnaby an 8-4 lead with just 4:48 remaining in the second. However, the Islanders scoreless drought ended just over a minute later on a power play effort from Ben McDonald. That was followed by tallies from Max Stalling and Haiden Dickson just 30 seconds apart to make it 8-7 and the Islanders suddenly had momentum heading into the final period. Dickson’s hat trick goal tied the game and Ryan Flack gave Delta the lead for the first time since midway through the opening period. Nearly 13 minutes of scoreless lacrosse followed as Matt Hills turned back all 14 Burnaby shots after stepping in for Harris to start the third.

Delta Islanders unveiled their new retro uniform look in Saturday’s home opening win against Burnaby. With a number of players still not back with the club from their post-secondary school commitments, the Islanders are leaning on some Junior B1 players to get through the first few weeks of the season and they stepped up in a

big way on Saturday. McDonald led the Islanders with a five-point night, including a pair of goals. Joey DeBaughn added a goal and an assist while Flack scored what proved to be the game win-

ner. Key regulars Ryan Jones and Dickson each enjoyed four-point nights. Isaac Richmond and Max Stalling also scored. Jake McIntosh added a pair of assists. Delta is in Nanaimo Saturday.

Delta Gymnastics Society brings its Delta Invitational and Cash and Carry Cup to the Richmond Olympic Oval, starting on Friday and concluding Sunday. expenses and awards it to the top six male and female all around winners, plus the top three winners of each of the events. “Traditional gymnastics competitions do not typically offer cash rewards, which makes for a very exciting competition to watch,” continued Arciniega. “If you have ever

wanted to watch high performance gymnastics live, this is a great place to be!” This year’s Invitational continues the theme of Embrace the Journey as gymnastics teaches athletes how to move through success and failure, good days and bad, and embraces the road that enhances an active and healthy lifestyle.

“Ultimately our goal in hosting this event is to expose our youth to a wide range of opportunities, skills and abilities that are accessible through the sport of gymnastics,” added Arciniega. Admission at the door is $12 for adults, $6 for ages seven-to-18 and free for children six and younger.

BOCK, Barry James December 25, 1940 - April 28, 2019 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of a beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend. Barry was born on Christmas day in Battleford, Saskatchewan. Predeceased by his parents, Allan and Elisabeth and his brother Ron. He is survived by his loving family; wife Jane, son Brad (Melanie), daughters Sandra Payne (Rob) and Rachel, grandchildren Curtis, Clinton, Brett, Jacquie, Ella, Megan and Jenna. Barry passed suddenly and unexpectedly leaving a huge hole in our hearts. Barry truly worked hard and played hard. He loved his work and refused to retire. He was also a true sportsman - high level fastball pitcher, fisherman, hunter, cowboy in his earlier years, hockey player and motorcycle racer. He had many other passions including boating and travelling. Barry had an extra social gene and was always the life of the party which led to many friendships which he valued deeply. To honour Barry’s wishes there will be no service. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. www.heartandstroke.ca

“Cheers! We’ll all miss you” Delta Funeral 604-946-6040 entrusted with arrangements.

. .

In lieu of flowers, please, a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation. Our appreciation to Dr. Hollinger and the Delta View Eagle Point staff for their care of Audrey. There will be a Church Service to Celebrate Audrey’s Life at the Tsawwassen United Church 693 - 53rd Street, Delta on Saturday, May 11th, 2019 at 11:00am. There will be a Tea directly following the service.

CHRYSTAL, Roseanna Marie (née Samways) July 1923 - April 2019 It is with heavy hearts that the family of Rose Chrystal, a long-time resident of Delta, BC, announces her passing on April 22, 2019, at Suncrest Retirement Community in South Surrey. Rose was born to the late Joseph and Anna Samways on July 23, 1925, in Millerdale, Saskatchewan. She and her family made their way to British Columbia in the 1940’s, and Rose took a job at Oliver’s Hardware Store in Ladner. It was there that she met her future husband, Bob Chrystal. They were married in 1950 and built their home on the family farm along Ladner Trunk Road in East Delta. Some will remember the beautiful yard and gardens she and Bob kept, or the delicious farm-style meals that she prepared. She was tireless while helping on the farm and caring for the many animals they kept. While Rose was known and loved for many things, her passion was first and foremost her family. Pre-deceased by Bob in 2010, she is survived by her three children, Rod (Linda) of Ladner; Bev (Brian) Kennedy of Temecula, California; and Pat (Wayne) Erskine of Hawkins Lake, BC, her grandchildren Jamie (Kathryn) Chrystal; Lesley (Matt) Millward; Josh (Amanda) Miller; Sam (Kayo) Miller, and great grandchildren Molly, Spencer, Garett, Logan, Alice, Robert and Evie. Rose requested a private service followed by burial at Boundary Bay Cemetery. The family wishes to thank all of those who cared for Rose in her final years. In lieu of flowers, please make your donations to the BC Cancer Foundation or the Delta Hospital Foundation. Condolences may offered to www.deltafuneral.ca Delta Funeral Home (604) 946-6040

Brent, alias “Big Daddy/Captain” passed away peacefully, surrounded by family and friends with his foot tapping to the music of Jack. He was a son, brother, uncle, cousin, husband, a friend and a mentor. He fought to stay with us when many would have given in. Brent was always available to help others. The time of the call did not matter even as he weakened with his battle with cancer. He loved the water, tug boating and fishing. He loved dogs, hunting, friends, family and new potatoes with spring salmon. He is predeceased by his father Sid Mowat and survived by his mother Celia and sister Carol.
