Protesters rally to save trees in Winskill Park

PHIL MELNYCHUK pmelnychuk@delta-optimist.com

Tsawwassen residents showed up at Winskill Park early Monday as work started onthe new $130-million aquaticand fitness centre.

With police watching nearby, yellow constructionfencing began to arrive inorder to block off thearea before trees were chopped down prior to construction beginning.

The city has to take out166 trees to make roomforthenew U15 baseball diamondand relocated U13 ball diamond.

But protesters are against removing theforest inthe southwest cornerofthe site.

“We are opposed to the destructionofthisforest,” said Annika Taylor, who livesnearby, pointing out the baseball diamondsonly will be used for three monthsofthe yearand there are better locations “This placeis beautifuland valuable and ratherthandestroy it, itshould be managed and restored.”

Taylor saidshe recognizes there are trees that are sick and damaged, but not everything

has to go Winskill Park isthe only green spaceinthearea, she added.

“It’sa crying shamethat we’re doing this.”

She saidthat she’s not opposed to buildinga newfitness centre and aquaticcentre either

“I’m happy withthenew facilities. We can have these two things together There has to be a way,” she said.

Norman Taylor saidthat more roomcould be found by adjusting the layoutforthe parking spots

Carol Vignale saidshe’s lived inthearea for 44 years andthat years ago, there were lots of

trees in Tsawwassen.

“We have to preserve what’s left instead of cutting itdown,” she said.

Seth Phillipshelped organize the Save the Forest Delta group.

He saidtheproject seems rushed. “I just thinkthere needs to be way more deliberationon this,” he said. “Thebiggest problem has beenthe rate at which this has been pushed through.”

Council last week reviewed thepreliminary conceptforthe park, followingpublic input.

The planincludes a perimeter reforestationarea with a walkway, a community plaza, and about 300trees retained aroundthe baseball diamonds

onthe south sideofthe park

As well, thecity will replace thetrees that were takendown on a two-to-one basis.

City manager Donny van Dyk saidconsultation will continue withthe reforestationplan.

“We share the passionand concernsofthose residents, which iswhy we will have a detailed reforestationplanas part ofthisproject,” he said.

“Definitely,theengagement is working anditiscreatinga betterproject forus.”

Most ofthe166trees being removed would have to be takendown anyway because of poor health, headded.

The commitment is to ensure

there’sa “tremendousgreen space” whenthe park isdone, van Dyk added.

He added that there has been a “robust engagement process” andthecity istrying to design a betterproject based onthe feedback

Van Dyk saidthere’s nodelay anticipated and that tree cutting will beginin a few days, “andtheproject will proceed on schedule.”

Completion oftheproject, which includes four baseball diamonds,a fitness centre and a 10-lane, 25-metre lap pool, four-lane teach pool, hot tub, cold-plungepool and sauna, is expected by late 2027.

Anhistoric andprominent building inEast Ladner willfinally have added heritage protection.

Council at its Oct. 21 meeting gave preliminary approvalfor theEast Delta Hall to have heritage designation.

The building on Hwy.10isalready in Delta’s rural heritage inventory,which identifies, but doesnotprotect, properties having heritage valueand character.

Heritage designationis a legal protection toolforpropertiesof particular value to a community,donethrough a bylaw that must be adopted by council.

The bylaw sets out theproperty’s significanceandany on-going requirementsthat are needed to maintainthe property to a specified standard.

In 1931,the McKee family donated onehectare (2.5acres)offarmland,created by the McKee AthleticAssociation, and builttheEast Delta Hallas a community resourcefor socialand athletic

events Earlierthis year, an agreement between theCity of Deltaandtheassociation was reached to transfer ownershipofthe halland its surrounding property to thecity for$1.

Part ofthedealincludesthecity entering into a multi-year agreement withMr Mom’s World Catering and Events, the current tenant on site providing catering, eventsand hall rental services.

Staffare also working withtheassociation to develop commemorative signage to acknowledge thehistory of East Delta Halland thecontributions fromindividualsand families that constructed andoperated the hallfor more than90 years.

Once a heritage designation bylaw isadopted after a publichearing, local governmentsare required to provide notification to the BC Minister responsibleforthe Heritage Conservation Act within30 days so that thenew sites can be added to the BC Register of Historic Places.

City survived drenching,destructive atmosphericriver

PHILMELNYCHUK pmeln yc huk @d elta-optimis t.co m

Theheavy rainon Oct. 18and19 camedown in torrents,andled to the deathsoffour peoplein southwest B.C.,while flooding basementsand turning some streetsinto temporary streams.

Deltathough largely weathered the storm.

According to general managerofengineering StevenLan,thecity has made “significant improvements to our drainage system resiliency sincethe atmospheric river,three years ago.”

The atmospheric riverthat hit southwest B.C. in November2021, caused billionsofdollars of damage, wiping out roadsandbridgesand temporarily cutoff Metro Vancouverfromthe rest ofthecountry.

Someofthe recent improvementsorpreparations made by Delta includeacomprehensive refurbishmentof the Oliver Street pump

station,as wellasthe installationofanew high-capacity pump at the Chilukthan pump station.

Thecityalso bought anew sandbagging machine so itcould respond better to future events.

Staffalso switched its

water systemoperation fromirrigation to drainagemode,thuslowering waterlevelsaroundthe city.

Other major steps includeddrainingditches, clearing catchbasins, fuellingup gas-powered generators so theywere readywhenneeded,and

ensuring personnel were on hand24/7forthe storm.

Informingthe public aboutthecomingdelugeandcommunicating withfarmersalsohelped ever yoneknowand be able to prepareforthe weather.

Oncethe storm

hit,all butoneofthe pumps kept running, exceptforthe pump station at Third Avenue, whichshutdown briefly becauseofa power outage, only to restart witha backup generator.

Anotherincident involved atree falling at 59th Avenue,which required closingthe road. BySunday, Oct. 20however, “fewer calls werereceived,indicating effective managementof the situation,”Lan said.

According to Environment Canada, the tempestthat lashed thefieldsand streams and backyardsand roads dropped 43mmof rain on to the Delta Burns Bog stationonFriday, Oct. 18.

Saturday, Oct. 19, was the worst, witha total of94mmof rainfalling, withas much as11mm inanhour.

Lan saidcrews arenowintheprocessofinspectingthe steep slopesaround Tsawwassenbluffsand

the CougarCreekarea in North Delta. Most ofthe cityfared well,exceptfor some pooling waternear the Planet Icearenain North Delta.

He considered last weekend’s storm, the second-biggest, afterthe November2023 event.

“Butthese typesof stormsarefairly new. We’ve had twointhe last four years basically, these atmospheric rivers. We’retrying to getmore resilience builtinto our system,” Lan said.

“Just make sure all our infrastructureis working well,anditdid,this past event.”

Preparationthoughis the key, such as having staffon hand to deal with the weather.

“I can’t sayenough about our staff. We were outthere early We were running staff24/7,duringthat whole event. That’s a reallycritical part ofensuring our system’s operating well duringthese typesof events,” Lanadded.

sg yarm ati@delta-optimis t. co m

GFL Environmental Inc., inEast Ladner, is waiting for a decisionon its application to Metro Vancouver, under the Greater Vancouver RegionalDistrict air quality management bylaw,for short-term authorization to discharge air contaminantsfromitsexisting composting facility.

As a result of a June19,2024 Supreme Court ofBritish Columbia Judicial Review ruling of a 2018 Environmental Appeal Board decision, the 72nd Street facility’s current authorizationexpireson Dec. 19,2024.

GFL Environmental Inc. has applied for the15-month authorizationuntil they can apply for a new permit Metro Vancouverissued anair quality permitfortheoperationin2018, paving the way for a transition to a new fully enclosed compostingfacility, which was completed in September 2020.

The regionaldistrictnotesthat the permit required that GFL fully enclose itscomposting facility to reduce odour impacts on thecommunity.

While numbers have decreased since theenclosed facility was commissioned in late 2020, Metro Vancouver says it continues to receive complaints about the facility.

According to Metro, which chartsthe number of complaints naming GFL/ Enviro-Smart asthe suspected cause, 145complaints were madethis year, as of September 2024.

The composting facility receives approved organic waste, including food waste, and processes itinto nutrientrich compost and landscaping products such as planting mix and soilmix.

GFL also usesits own products at its sodfarm, West Coast Instant Lawns.

Prior to thecompletionofthefacility upgrades,East Ladner residents filed hundreds ofcomplaints with Metro Vancouver about the odour produced by the GFLfacility.

Happy Halloween!

Editor’s Note

IAN JACQ UES

It’s candytime! Halloweennight(Oct.31)isupon us. Tonight, childrenofall ages will dressupintheirfavouritecostume and go door-to-door,trick-or-treating.

Thisnightbringsup many fondmemoriesof Halloweens past whenI wasa child. I was bornand raised in Saskatchewan. Ilived ontheprairiesuntilI was12, when my dad relocated ourfamily to B.C. becauseofa change inhis job.

As young kids, we had some terrific Halloweensin Saskatchewan–and some coldones two.

One such Halloween occurred when we lived in North Battleford. It was so cold, thatmy dadtrailed my brother, sisterand myselfinhis car. We would stop at three orfourhousesandthenpileinto the car to warm upand have a sipofhot chocolate from our Thermoses.

Other Halloweenmemoriesinclude spendinggreattimes withfriendsand neighbours, a Halloweennighthotdog roastinthe backyard,filling ourpillow cases to thebrim-if we could- with candy andthen rushinghome to pour outtheloot to seewhat we had– just alotof good times andmemories.

I’mhopingthatmany morefamily memories will be made tonightforall.

Delta police will be outand about making sure that Halloweenisafunand safe nightfor ever yone.

Police have providedus withafew Halloween reminders forallthelittle ghoulsand goblins outthere:

*Make sure that nothingobstructs your vision so you can see clearlywhile walking

* Stick to well-litareasandalwaysuse crosswalkswhentrick-or-treating

*Add reflectiveelements to costumes to stayvisible

*Ensurecostumesare flame-resistant and well-fitted to prevent tripping or snagging

Let’s all have a safeandfun Halloween and make sure more wonderfulmemories are made.

Turning mistakes into milestones

Our society often equates mistakes with failure, but it’s time to shift our perspective. Embracing the idea that “your best teacher is your last mistake” can transform how we approachchallenges and setbacks. Mistakes are nottheendofthe road; they are valuablelessonsthat empower and teach us.

Ever y great success stor y is peppered withmisstepsand errors. Thinkof renowned figureslike Thomas Edison, whose countless experiments ultimately led to theinventionofthelight bulb

Edisonfamously said, “I have notfailed. I’ve just found10,000 ways that won’t work.”

Thismindsethighlights theimportanceofviewing mistakesas stepping stones ratherthan stumbling blocks. Each mistake presentsan

Community Comment

WA RREN DE ANFLAN DE Z

opportunity to learn,adapt, andgrow

In our daily lives, mistakes oftentrigger feelingsofdisappointment orfrustration. However, it’s crucial to recognize that these moments are essential for personal development. They push us to reflect, analyze, and improve. Instead ofshying away frommistakes, we

should welcomethemas part of our journey.Each misstep can revealhidden strengths, unearthnew skills, and encourage resilience

It’s also important to keep inmind that fosteringa culture that acceptsmistakes can lead to innovation. In educationalandprofessional settings, whenindividuals feel safe making mistakes, they are more likely to take risks andexplore newideas Thisopenness fosters creativity and can lead to groundbreaking advancements

So, thenext time you find yourselffacing theaftermath of a mistake,remember itis not a failure but rather a lesson that propels you for ward. Embrace your mistakes, forthey are thetrue teachers that shape our characterand guideus toward future successes. Let each misstep be a stepping stoneon your path to greatness.

Leave oldLadner alone

Editor :

Politicians cannotcreate communities-- peopledo!

Ladnerisunique The citizens value itsheritage.

It isextremely upsetting to learn two heritage buildingsonthe south sideof Chisholm Streetare slated fordemolition. Has anybody fromcity hall ever viewed them? They are far better built than any replacement could be, with heavy irongirders fore andaft, built apparently, to hoist aircraftduring the Second World War.

Andwhy are they being removed–for a possiblefive-storey hotel?

Ladnerdoesnot have a nightlife, nor

high-endshops. Hotelsare so passé!

Most travellersprefer Airbnbs.

I agree there are some buildingsthat need an upgrade but please leave4920 and4930 on Chisholm Streetalone.

We could use anart gallery. It appears that Ladner willnow have a jeweller, again,which is badly needed.

We live in Tsawwassen, but we usually shopinLadner. Our shopping mall here isdismaland poorly laid out, and yet, again,could be infor a overhaul. Businesses have moved on to either Tsawwassen MillsorLadner

Iask thecity to leave theantiquity of Ladneralone.

Inputneededoncyclingplan

Editor : Councilendorsed Delta’s cycling master planin2023 to provide a well-connected, complete cycling network along 56th Street to Hwy. 17. So far, publicinput has beenlimited, but recently, three city employees met on site with a group of interested local individuals The meeting was instructional,cordialand fair.

The mainissue with

theinitialproposal was the narrowness ofthe land to accommodate a 3.5-m multiuse path and toprotecttheexisting trees.

Ifthe pathway is built parallel to 56th Street, andusing the municipality’s figures of approximately six metres from the curb side, approximately 60 to 70trees would be felled, although several trees would be felledanyway, because of stress, disease and age.

There was talkof a meandering pathway, but that,I suspect, would resultin a loss ofmore trees.

As I see it, the proposal is doable, but withan estimated cost of$1.3 millionand part funding fromTransLink, one must considerif thisis money well spent on a pathway which now,is not overly subscribed Ideas andoptionsare still being entertained.

Iam not surprised to hearthat MP Carla Qualtroughisnot seeking reelection,considering her party iscirclingthe drain.

I still have notheard ofany “imminent” funding for a newcrossing to replace an aging Massey tunnelcoming fromthe Liberal government. Can she at least publicly advise her constituents if we will see some federal funding ornot before she starts collecting herlucrative pension?

They guided their sheep to green pastures and still waters.They led them away from danger and toward safety. Shepherdsprotect their flock. Theywere selfless intheirduty.

Dementia is a general term for various braindisorders that can affect behavior, thinking and memory.Among the condition that qualifyasdementia, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) isthemost common.

ADisanirreversible condition that destroys memory, thinking and the ability to carry out daily activities Although initialAD symptoms may be mild,the diseaseworsens overtime and eventually people withAD will need full-time care. Many peopleare interested in any ways they can reducethe severity ofADor stave offitsprogression. Cardiovascular fitness could be an

important toolinthat fight. Cardiovascularactivity mayhelp lessen theimpactofdementia and AD in particular. Aerobicexercise programs aimed at improving cardiovascularfitness seem to have moderate effectson cognitive function amonghealthy older persons. But datafrom current randomized controltrialsare insufficient to show that these improvementsare due exclusively to improved cardiovascular fitness.

Still, incorporating cardiovascular exercise inall stagesoflifeisimportant. Here area few notable ways exercise couldaffectAD outcomes

Improved blood flow: Regular cardiovascularexercise facilitates blood circulation to thebrain. Betterblood flow delivers adequate oxygen and nutrients to thebrain, which isimportant for maintaining cognitive function.

Risk factor reduction: Cardiohelps manage several risk factors associated withAD, such asdiabetes, high cholesterol and highblood pressure By lowering these risk factors, individuals may reducetheirlikelihood ofdeveloping formsofdementia.

Reduced inflammationand oxidative stress: Physicalactivity can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress inthe

Cardiovascularfitness and Alzheimer’s disease

body, each ofwhich are linked to neurodegenerative diseases. The American Brain Foundation says high levelsof inflammation ofthebrain may accelerate brain aging and contribute to the progressionof neurodegenerative diseases like AD, Parkinson’s disease and Lewy body dementia.

Improved sleep: Regular exercise can helppromote more regular sleep patterns, which improvesmood and cognitive health.

Although cardiovascularexercise cannot prevent dementia, it may helpdelay its onset.

What to know about exerciseanddementiarisk

Three seconds go by in a flash, but that’s enough timefor another person to jointhe massesalready diagnosed with dementia. According to Alzheimer’s Disease International, ever y three seconds someone inthe world develops dementia, a conditionthat more than55million people were living within2020.

The World Health Organization notesthat various diseases and injuriesthat affectthe

brain can contributeto dementia. Asmenacinga threatas dementia presents, individualsare not helpless against it. In fact,exercise, which can helplower risk for heart disease, stroke and various other conditions, can bea valuableally against dementia as well.

Whatisthe link betweenexercise and dementia?

Dementia remains something of a mystery, but theAlzheimer’s Society notesthat evi-

dence is now strong enough to support theassertionthat lack ofphysical exercise increasesa person’s risk ofdeveloping dementia.

The Alzheimer’s Society also notesthat researchers have discovered improvementsin thinking and memor y and reduced rates ofdementia among middle-aged and older adultswho exercised compared to those that did not.

How shouldaging adultsapproachexer-

DenturistsareDentureSpecialists

cise ifthey have been largely sedentary?

Middle-aged and older adultswho have not been physically active throughout their adult life but want to begin incorporating exercise into their daily routines are urged to speak withtheirphysicians prior to beginninga fitness regimen.

Preexisting conditions may make itdifficult, if not impossible, to engage incertainformsofexercise. A personal physician can consider a patient’s

uniquemedicalhistory and then recommend certainexercisesthat won’t put himorherin jeopardy of suffering an injur y or illness. A gradual approachto exercising is typically best for individualswho have lived a sedentar y lifestyle.

Starting off slowly with a short walkorlight physical activity like gardening can helpthe body acclimate to physical activity at a safe pace.

Asadults’ bodies become more accustomed to

exercise, men and women can thengradually increase theintensity oftheir workouts, switching from walking to jogging on a treadmillwhen possible There is no cure for dementia, but adults are not helpless against the various forms ofthe condition. Researchers have discovered that preventive measureslike routine exercise can be aneffective way to reduce dementia risk.

People have a strange love-hate relationship withinsects.

Many of us can remembera timewhen flies, mosquitos, and midges werereadily seen on a warm summer evening and our windshields were covered with splattered bugs.

Now it seemsthat those days are behind us. Oh, the joy of not being bitten!

In recent years, Canada has witnessed alarming declinesininsect populations,a trend echoed

globally. Thisdecline poses significant ecological threats, particularlyto aerial insectivores- birds like swallows, swifts,flycatchers andnightjars, that rely on insectsas prey

These birdsplay a crucial rolein maintaining ecological balance by controlling insect populations, yet their reliance on insects makes them susceptible to fluctuations ininsect availability. In Canada, aerial insectivores have declined by 43 per cent sincethe1970’s, asshown in the recent Stateof Canada’s Birds report by Birds Canada.

What unites allaerial insectivoresistheir reliance on insects, and their population declines because of thedrop in insect numbers.

Habitat degradation, largely due to urbanization and agricultural expansion, disruptsthe ecosystemsthat support diverse insect popula-

tions Wetlands, forests, andgrasslands, essential habitats for countless insects, are increasingly fragmented, reducing the availability of food for birds. Climate change furtherexacerbates these issues, asshifting temperaturesand weather patternsalterthe availability of insects

Fortunately, efforts to combat these declinesare gaining momentum. Initiativesaimed at restoring habitats, reducing pesticideuse, and promoting sustainable agriculturalpracticesare vital.

Protecting insectsis

essential notonly for the survival of aerial insectivores but for the overall health of Canada’s ecosystems. By safeguarding insect populations, Canada can ensure the survival of itsaerial insectivoresand maintainthe intricate web of lifethat sustainsits natural environment.

The South Delta Secondar y SunDevilslooked poised for longplayoff runsafter a pairof blow out wins last week

The senior varsity team scored 22unanswered points in thethird quarter breaking open a 13-7 game to beat Notre Dame35-7inits final home gameof the season last Saturday.

The win improved the Sun Devils overall record to 8-1and 4-1 inconferenceplay.

South Deltaalso secured at least the second seed in the conference whenthe playoffs start in two weeks.

South Deltatravels to the North Shore on Saturday forits final conference game against Handsworth.

South Deltaled 13-7 at halftime but blew the gameopen

withan85-yard kick-off return touchdown by Koen Hubbard to open the second half

The defence cameupbig on several drives, stifling the Jugglers’ offence, while the Sun Devilsoffence capitalized on several drives to win going away

Dominic Dumas finished with154 rushing yards with two TDs, as wellas134 passing yards and two TDs. Damian Dumas rushed for78 yards on 12 carries Quinn Sjoberg led the wide receivers with two catches for 48 yards, while Holden Hunter had four catches for 40 yards. Defensively, Gage Spargo led the way with seven tackles while Tommy Cowan, Dominic Dumas and Hudson Robinson, each had five tackles

“We beat a really solid and wellcoache d team the y slow ed our primar y offensive weapon today, but we show ed

that we can win indifferent ways,” saidassistant coach

Scott Martens

“This wasa total teameffort especially in the second half, with special teamsanddefence leading the way.

“That, to go with a well-balanced offencethat was able to spread the ballaround. It was a great way for our seniors to

go out on with their last home gamein South Delta.”

Junior Varsity

The junior varsity Sun Devils played itsfinalconference gameof the season last Thursday, resulting in a 34-0 win over Sullivan Heights. The win pushed the Sun Devils record to 5-4 overalland 3-1inconferenceplay.

South Delta hasa bye this weekand will have to wait to see what seed they will getfor the playoffs.

South Deltaopened the scoring on a 55-yard punt returnfrom Cameron MacVeigh.

This wasfollowed by a 33-yard touchdown pass from Quinn Kirincic to Easton Geisbrecht fora 13-0lead.

Luke Farrell ended the first quarter scoring with a 22-yard touchdownrun.

There was no scoring in the secondor third quarters

In the fourth, the SunDevils scored a pairof running touchdowns–a seven-yard rushfrom Ben Fuerniss and a 27-yard run from Evan Steeves.

South Deltadresseda lotof back-upplayers giving them lotsofplaying time, while resting many of their key starters.
