“They have all told me about this sidewalk and sayitshould happen, but nothing happens,” said Myers in arecentinterview with the Optimist. She’sbeen asking for a sidewalktobebuilt from 12th Avenue to the entrance to Centennial Beach in Boundary BayRegional Park for two years. “I think it’s verymuchneeded,”she said. The beach is so busy there areshuttle buses on Sundays, running from South Delta Rec. Centre, to the park, she points out. With no sidewalk on that part of BoundaryBay Road, pedestrians areforced into the bicycle lane. Myers said she recently sawa senior in ascooter travelling in the bike lane
People walkingonroadwaytoget to Centennial Beach
“Every dayI see children, seniors,cyclists, joggersand dog walkers walking in the bikelane of aroad with aspeed limit of 60 km/h,” shesaid. “Everysingle time Iwanttotake my babyfor awalk,Ihavetopack her and herstrollerintomycar and drive to parkateither Southlands or (into) Beach Grove, because I would not risk her life on this road.” Asidewalk runs from the park entrance,south into Southlands, but there’snothing connect ing CentennialBeachto12th Avenue and to Tsawwassen’s town centre. Pedestrians and parkusers mayhavetowait awhile,how ever,for the situation to be addressed MetroVancouverparks told the Optimist that they areplanning anew trail in the area,tentatively named BoundaryBay Road Perimeter trail. It will be designed to improvepedestrian safety along BoundaryBay Road,but an exact route hasn’tbeenchosen MetroVancouverparks currently is only contemplating a pedestrian-only trail, not asidewalk, with construction likely starting in 2024 or 2025, said MetroVancouverparks senior mediarelations strategist Niki Reitmayer. That project will requirepublic consultation and archeological assessments.
An environmental consultant hasstudied route optionsfor the trail this spring and summer. Myers said she’s happyMetro Vancouverisworking on apathway, but said three years is a long time “The timeline is aconcern for safety over the next few years,” she said.

“The final budget will be dependentonestablishing the best route option and construction methodology, which have not yet been determined,” Reitmayer said.
Delta’sFlood ManagementStrategy identifies anumber of locations for possible dike upgrading over the next decade. Thecityiscurrently focusing on five proposed upgrade projects: theEast Delta dike, Beach Grove/Boundary Bay, Westham Island, River Road West and River Road/Lower Cougar Creek. With climatechange, sea level rise is asignificantthreatfor the lowlands of Delta,especially along Boundary Bay, according to aDelta staff report, adding the existing coastal dikes are3.5 metres high and currently do not adhere to the province’s seismic guidelines. That reportstates preliminarycost estimates for the first phase indicate that dikeupgrades to 2050 couldcostmore than $350 million. Seismic upgrading could cost an additional $300 million. The cycling club hasn’t made any formalpre sentation for the idea of paving raised dikes,but Pope said he mentions it to politicians wherepossible “We’ll keep talking about it and we’ll see Younever know,”hesaid.

HUB Cyclinghas ideas they want thecitytoexplore

Just as an example, if the dike trail (from around Beach Grovein Tsawwassen to MudBay in Surrey) was paved, it could serveasa cycle commuting link between Surrey, NorthDelta and Tsawwassen, along with easier recreational riding. Butdikes will be upgraded depending on wherethere’sthe biggest flood risk, which he supports,headded He alsonotes the increased use of the dikes by all users requires safe riding.Cyclists should use abell or their voice to warn pedestrians they’re approaching, andcyclists on e-bikes or gravel bikes who can ride at high speed, need to slow when they approach people Cycling safety is crucial, he said.
The club that speaks for those on two wheels has a modest proposal for whenever a Delta dike is raised to prepare for rising sea levels Should those millions ever be spent on dike improvement, HUB Cycling would like a sheet of asphalt laid on top of the dike, once all the work has been done. That smooth surface could make for speedier cycling commutes and encourage users of all abilities by making easier riding for whoever’s using the dike trail
A few trails that get such treatment could be a big boost for cycle tour ism. “Think Holland,” said Neil Pope, with the Delta branch of HUB Cycling. “They have done it in an amazing way and it’s a huge tourist draw. We’ve got the makings of some world-class cycling here.” Pope mentions the idea about cycling safety and the recent incident when a cyclist blocked a farmer on the Boundary Bay Regional Park dike who was trying to get to a field. He said the cycle club isn’t trying to decide whichdikes getraised, it just wants whatever dikes that areimproved, to be paved so they’re usable for alarge variety of people.

“Never assume a motorist sees you if you’re riding. Cyclists should be particularly careful at intersections and driveways.And wear abike helmet and bright clothing and ensureyour bike haslights and reflec tors,” he said.
Ifdikeseverraised,please

he new Delta Cascades Casino is taking shape On Tuesday,mediawere invitedby GatewayCasinos fora sneak peek at the construction progress. Thereisstill lots of worktobedone, but we nowhaveamuch better idea of what the new gaming and entertainmentcomplex will offer and look like Gatewayishopeful that the grand opening will take place towards the end of September with the adjacent five-storey Delta Marriott Hotel to open soon after that. I’mnot ahuge gambler,but Ihaveto saythat I’mexcited about the opening of the casino Notonly will it offer slots and table games,but new restaurantand food options and entertainmentaswell. It will offer something different– a differentnightout with family and friends. The Optimist hasbeen covering this storyfor years and Iknowthereis opposition out thereabout the casino opening. Some residents sayitisnot needed and that the casino will bring an undesir able crime elementtothe community. Iget those arguments and Iget those concerns,but let’s also look at the benefits According to Gateway, 500 personyears on construction employment, up to 600 new jobs,a $99.3 million invest mentbyGateway–all add up to great economic benefits for Delta Several members of the local business community werealso on Tuesday’stour andthey wereequally excited about the opening and the economic possibilities. Forbusiness,the casino offers another meeting place,the ability to host out-of-town guests in the adjacenthotel for conferences bringing morepositive exposuretoeverything that Delta has to offer.Think of the additional tourism dollars that such afacility could bring? This is going to be agreat entertainmentdestination for Delta. ANNIVERSARY

The Delta Heritage Society is pleased to celebrate 100 years of the Delta Optimist Come visit us at the Douglas J Husband Discovery Centre And remember, we are always on the lookout for new artifacts and archival records that help us tell the story of Delta Ferguson Motors 1965 This 1965 photograph depicts the Ferguson Motors Ltd building on Westham Street (48th Avenue), Ladner, B C It has been quite some time since Ladner has hosted a car dealership Delta Archives 1970 006 008 Justlike that, summer is almost over. Iguess it seemed to go by quickly because the sun didn’t come out until the middle of July, but hereweare,just over a week beforethe kids head back to school. It’s weird–even though I haven’t been in school for a long time,I still dream about it.Not being able to find the classroom, or worse,the realization that Ihaveanexam, but haven’t attended any classes Iwasn’t thebest student. Idid okay, managed to get myself into post-secondary schooland built adecent careerfromthere. ButIwould have never thoughtofwhere Iwould be todaywhen Iwas back in high school. Itook the programs that tried to pick your career. According to them,I should have been atax accountant. Knowing what Iknownow, that would have been abad move.Not that there’sanythingwrong with that career, it just doesn’t suit my personality type. Throughout my life,I’vehad people tell me Iwouldn’t suc ceed.Iworkedina gasstation whenIwas in high school. The owner said he didn’t think I was the kind of person who would go to university. When Iwas headedtoBCIT, the Associate Dean said looking at my grades,I probably wouldn’t do well there. When Iwanted to get my MBA, my bosssaid I couldn’t,because Ididn’t have adegree All Ican saytothem is, ‘well, you werewrong’. Iwent to university,I was the presidentofthe marketing club at BCIT,and Igot my MBAwith a 3.65 GPA. Thanks for the motivation And nowIteach marketing to MBAstudents.Neversaw that happening when Iwas a teenager. Forthose heading back to school in afew days,just remember –the job you will likely have in 10 years hasn’t been created yet. Don’t worry about what you’ll do in life, because it will probably change.And there’snothing wrong with learning atrade instead of going to university. Most importantly, don’t let anyone set limits for you. Including yourself.

August25,2022 The Delta Optimist A9 Letters Editor: This letter is in response to arecentonline article about HUB cycling talking about thepossibilityof paving on the dike. From an environmental point-of-view, paving the tops of dikes with asphalt to accommodate cyclists is definitely not agood idea. Asphalt depletes resources,itpollutes water,and it gener ates harmful atmospheric emissions Also,Iexpectthe cost to do so would be significant. It would be an unnecessaryexpenseto accommodate asmall group of people.That money could be used for anumber of other more important(and sustainable) purposes Valerie E. Fuller

mbooth@delta-optimist.com Customers will be seeing double for a while when it comes to Ladner’s only home improvementand hard warebusiness Dunbar Lumber is days away from opening asecond retail location at Ladner Centrewhile its original storeonBridge Street will continue to operate, mainly as alumber yard.That site has been sold andeventually will be redeveloped. The process of finding anew address has actually been going on for some time,according to storeowner Ken Priestlay. He initially thoughthehad secured alocation near the BoundaryBay Airport to move the entirestore operation until that plan hitasnag. “Itjust didn’t work out.Something happened where YVR started looking into expansion at Boundary Bayand a bunch of political things got into the way,”said Priestlay. “Then the (Bridge Street) property finally sold and we needed to find anew place “Everybody thoughtat that pointweweresellingorclosing Dunbar Lumber and that never was the plan. I’mstill working non-stop to find alocation that Ithink people from Ladner and Tsawwassen would be able to easily find. Iam aLadner guy and Iknow that the business Irun hereneeds to be accessible for somebody who wants to build afence or fixsomething.” That’s whyPriestlay also shot down rumours the lumber yard is headed to the Tilburyarea. He recalled the days of going back-and-forth from a warehouse at Tilbury when hisparents ran Barb’s CountryFurniture in Tsawwassen. “Weall knowthere aregood andbad times of when youwanttogo near the tunnel,”hecontinued. “I would like to stayawayfromthereand thereare opportunities to staylocal. It’s whether or not we can worksomething out with the city. What theyhaveinmind and what we have in mind.” In the meantime, Priestlayisexcited to be opening the Delta Centre location and taking advantage of nearly 8,000 squarefeet of retail space which is significantly larger than the Bridge Street store. Customers canexpecttosee a greater variety of mer chandise,reminiscent to the days of the former Ladner Village Hardware on DeltaStreet. “Weare going to have to add stufftothe store, stuff that all Ladnerites need,”added Priestlay, whoalsooperatesthe original Dunbar Lumber storeonArbutus Street in Vancouver. “Some guys arefishermen. Some guys arehunters. It’s going to be cool. We’regoing to have alot of fresh new stuff and I’mreally look ing forwardtoit. “Wedon’t have aset date to move out (of Bridge Street). Theremay be alittle bit of aheadache at first trying to figureout whicheachstore hasbut Ijust wantpeople to understand that we are not closing and we’restill ayear or maybe ayear and-half away beforethe old storeactually shuts down.” If all goes well with renovations,signage and stocking shelves,the Ladner Centrelocation will open Sept.1.It’sin the former Canadian Dollar Storelocation betweenthe B.C.

“After the spring of 2020, we weren’t able to meet at all,”said AlanaMcKenna, society past president. So the society did online workshops,fundraisers,acook ing class and beer tasting, just to keep people connected. This year,though they’ve been able to gather twice,inthe winter and spring, mostly while wearing masks “But numbers arestill very low. Much,much lower than pre-pandemictimes, so it’s been hard to stayafloat,”McKenna said. With COVID-19 still lingering, people arestill thinking twice about coming back to sing, especially forthose whoare older or with compromised health. “The wantisthere, but just that real fear of anything happening …they’rejust not feeling safe enough because of COVID to return yet,” she said, adding that so far they haven’t been able to runthe youth choir since the pandemic.
Both adult and the children’s choirs did aChristmas concert last year and spring concertthis year,with smaller numbers than usual. COVID-19 protocols werefollowed, including singers wear ing special singing masks,which areroomier,with people separated as much as possible. “Luckily we’vehad no out breaks within any of the choirs, sowe’ve been veryfortunateto keep it at bay,”she said. “It’sa lot morechallenging, to sing, forsure,”with amask. They do make singers’masks.There’s morespace,but the masks do mute the sound. It does provide abarrier for sure. It’s better than nothing.”

Iremembergrowing up hearing the phrase, “Information Age,” but it wasn’t until the late 2000sthat we really began to appreciate the astronomical amount of information on the Internet As the smartphone reshaped our expectations of what aphone could do,manypeople were able to now carry apowerful computer in their pockets Information was always accessible.I used to have to go to alibrarytofact check something, but my six-year-old son just blurtsout,“HeyGoogle, what’s the largest mammalinthe world?” (It’s theAntarctic blue whale by the way). Moreover,YouTube andsocial media platforms like Facebook created an unprecedented amount of amateur, user-created contentat around the same time The rise of free access to information coupled with an enormous amount of unfiltered (orbarely filtered)user-created contentmeans one of the greatest skills one could develop todayisthe skill ofdiscernment. Howdo we knowwhat is credible information and what is incorrect? Thebibleemphasizes the importance of wisdom.Infact,James encouraged Christ followers to seek wisdom: “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him” (James 1:5). When Paul preached in Berea,the people examined the Scriptures dailytosee if what Paul said weretrue(Acts 17:11).Because there weresomany philosophers and orators visiting their city to bring all sorts of teachings,the Bereans felt the need to ground themselves in Scriptural wisdom to discern what was rightand wrong. We need the same skill today. Today, we have billions of “visiting philosophers” on YouTube,Tik Tok, and other platforms that are accessible via asmall deviceinour pockets, and they’reall offering their ownperspectives and worldviews.How do we navigatethrough such massiveamountofinfor mation? We need wisdom and discernment. We also need curators who could help us make sense of the vast array of contentthatare available to us —a community of biblical wisdom to help us discern truth.Doyou have such acommunity?

Back to Class Assessments such as quizzes and exams help educatorsrecognize areas wherestudents areexcelling and where they mightneed alittle extrahelp.In addition to tests in the classroom, high schoolers generally take standardized testing for provincial assessmentpur poses.Testing maycome easier to some students than others,but having solid study techniques can improvestudents’ performance on awide range of exams. Here aresome techniques that may help foster good study skills: Find value in the lessons: Many students lamentthat what they learn in school just isn’t relevantindaily life.That canmake the subject matter feel less importantand uninteresting. Finding value in what one is learning andseeing howitcan be applied out sideofthe classroommay make astudentmoreinclined to learn and retain information. Avoid distractions:Study time is time to take abreak from social media,video games and any other distractions that can pull astudentawayfromstudying. Constantly checking notifications can interrupt thoughts and make it hard to learnthe material. Establish astudy schedule: Develop asystem and aschedule for studying. Students should establish afixed habit of studying each dayorweek -whatever is best for him or her.Overtime,studying will become routine Establishdedicatedstudy spots: Students should locate places that work best for them as study and homework stations.Certain individuals mayneed the quiet of alibraryorabookstore. Others maydobest with the humof conversation around them or in agroup There’snoright or wrong study spot. Maintaining consistencywill help the mind associate aplace with studying. Usegrades as benchmarks and motivators: Blamingateacher for a poor grade won’t get astudentanywhere. Rather,grades should indicate howwell one is learning the material, and in turn, the effectiveness of students’studying habits.Students can tweak their habits if they find their grades arenot wherethey wantthem to be. Rephrasematerial: Textbook languagecan be dryand unappealing. Students can tryputting the material into their ownwords or rephrase passages to make them easier to remember and recall. Similarly, teaching or sharing the material with another person also mayimproveretention. Make aformula sheet: Depending on thesubject,having asheet with shortcuts,formulas or diagrams can put the material into smaller bursts of informa tion that areeasier to digest.Along this same vein, writing information down can help improverecall. Theseare afew studytips that high schoolers can utilize to improvetheir grades so they can be moresuccessful in school.

The first dayofkindergarten is a milestone momentfor children that their parents will remember forever Data from Statistics Canada reports that roughly 52 percentofchildren in non-parental child careare in adaycare centre, preschool or childcarecentre. Children who attend preschool or daycaremay make arelatively seamless transition to kindergarten. However,it’s still agood idea for parents to takesteps to prepareyoungsters for kindergarten in advanceofthe first dayofschool.

Attend orientation or related events: Elementaryschools typically arehoused in much larger buildings than preschools or daycares,and that size can be intimidating for children. Attending kindergarten orientation or related events as afamily can help children see their classrooms,meet their teacher and potentially their classmates Meet other kids in the neighbor hood: Some children attend preschools or daycares close to home,while others maygotofacilities near aparent’s office.Regardless of wherekids go to daycareorpreschool, they’relikely to meet new youngsters in kindergarten. Introducing them to other kids in the neighborhood who will be going to kindergarten as well can calm children’s nerves.Seeing afamiliar face on the bus and/or in class can put youngsters at ease Avoid lengthygoodbyes: Parents mayget alittle teary-eyed on their children’sfirst dayofkindergarten, but drawing out goodbyesaskids get on the bus or walk into school will ultimately make it harder on children. Limit your goodbye to ahug and kiss and some words of encouragement. Keep the emphasis on the positive and the fun that’s to be hadsokids arrive at school in agood frame of mind. Remindyoungsters you’llbethere to pickthem up at theend of the day.

-MetroCreative Strategies that
Ask questions when reading to children: When reading to children, parents can compound the benefits of this activ ity by asking youngsters questions about the book. Asking what, when, where, why, and howcan encourage children to look for answers to these questions while they’rebeing read to.Asstudents advance and then read moreontheir own, parents can encourage them to ask these questions of themselves (if they’re not already doing so on their own).
Strong reading comprehension skills are one of the foundations of a successful academic career There’s likely a multitude of reasons whystudents nowread less than they used to Parents concerned about their children’sreading comprehension can try these strategies to bolster this highly valuable skill. Let kids read what they like: The tutoring professionals at OxfordLearning report that 73 percent of students indicate they would read moreifthey found books they liked. Parents can address this issue by taking children to their local libraries and letting them choose which books to check out.The morepractice kids get with reading, the more their comprehension skills develop Read aloud to children: Various studieshavefoundthat reading aloud to children significantly benefits literacy development. The Reading Rockets project, which aspires to bring reading research to life in the hopes of helping young children develop into strong, confident readers,notes that childrencan listen on ahigherlanguage levelthanthey can read. That makes complex ideas more accessible

Howaging adultscan maintain ahealthyweight Aging menand womenshouldrecognizethe importance of maintaininga healthyweight.
Acombination of factors can contribute to weightgain in older adults,including aslowermetabolism and atendency to be moresedentarywith age.Empty nesters also maybeless likely to cook their ownmeals,relying on convenience foods -some of which maybehigh in fat and/or calories Sustained healthyweightatany age is linked to improved hearthealth,mental health benefits like increased self-confidence,healthyjoints,and much more. These tips can help aging individuals maintain healthyweights
Calorie-counting and watching one’s weightisoften seen as ayoung person’s game,but even aging men and women should recognize the importance of maintaining ahealthyweight. Older adults mayexperience weight gain or unintentional weightloss. Understanding howtoaddress each in healthywaysisimportant.

Incorporatestrength or resistance training into your weekly routine: Hormone production slows down as the body ages,and that mayresult in aloss of muscle mass.Lifting weights or engag ing in resistance training with elastic bands or body weightcan restoremuscle tone and speed up metabolism.Adults should aim for strength training twice a week. Monitor sugar and starch intake: Many older adults have elevated blood sugar levels due to insulin resistance.When cells become resistanttoinsulin, glucose doesn’t get used up and remains in the blood. Eventually this can lead to prediabetes,metabolic syndrome and type 2diabetes.Many people with these conditions have ahardtime losing weight. Avoiding added sugars and extracarbohydrates could help Practice portion control: A60-year old can’t eatthe same wayheorshe did at age 30 or 40.Nutritionists saythat, with everydecade that passes,people generally need about 100 fewer calories aday to maintain their weights.Cutting calories slowly and steadily helps people maintain healthyweights,especially when they couple this with exercise Malnutrition is acommon component in unintentional weightloss in aging populations.Reduction in senses of small and taste,smaller appetites and lack of desiretomake meals can contributetomalnutrition and weightloss Underlying health problems also may lead to unwanted and unhealthyweight loss.Tracking weightloss and getting sufficientnutrients is vital to aging adults’overall health Older adults need to adjust their routines as they age in order to maintain healthyweights.Such adjustments can reduce seniors’risk for disease and improvetheir quality of life. -MetroCreative

Physical activity is oneofthe key components of ahealthylifestyle Though physical activity benefits people of all ages, it can be especially helpful for seniorsbymaking it easier forthemtoovercomesomeofthe obstacles associated with aging. It is best for any senior to consult his or herphysicianprior to beginninga newexercise regimen.Once doctors give seniors thego-aheadtobegina newworkout routine,seniorscan take the following steps to reduce their risk for injury. Warm up beforeworking out: Seniors maythink theydon’tneed to warm up beforeexercisingbecause their workouts arenot as high-intensity as theymight have been when they were younger.Prior to beginninga workout, regardlessofhow moderate or low-intensity that regimen will be, seniorsshould warm up for fiveto10 minutes Start with aroutine that’scom mensurate with your abilities: Seniors excitedbythe prospect of working out must temperthatexcitement if they’re notaccustomed to physical activity.
