ELECTIONS

Campaign docs show who spent what Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Mayor Jonathan Cote outspent all council and mayoral candidates in the 2018 civic election campaign – with a first-time council candidate who topped the polls coming next.

The incumbent mayor spent $22,821, outspending his three challengers by

a wide margin: Nikki Binns, $1,256, Harm Woldring, $825, and Jimmie Bell, $0.

Cote spent the bulk of his funds on newspaper ads, signs, billboards and brochures.

Cote – leader of the Team Cote group of candidates for city council and school board who were endorsed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council – shared a num-

ber of campaign expenses.

All members of Team Cote were elected.

On Tuesday, Elections BC released the 2018 General Local Elections disclosure statements of candidates, elector organizations and third-party advertising sponsors for public inspection. Elections BC has begun reviewing the statements for compliance to the Local Elections Campaign

Financing Act. Many of the candidates completed election financing forms in different ways, so the Record combined the election period expenses (Jan. 1 to Sept. 21, 2018) and the campaign period expenses (Sept. 22 to Oct. 20, 2018) to determine how much money candidates spent.The spending limit for Cote during the campaign peri-

od was $47,410.40, based on the city’s population.

For council candidates, it’s $23,999.84. Elections BC says there is no spending limit during the election period.

Since they are not an official electors group, members of Team Cote filed individual disclosure statements. First-time council candidate Nadine Nakagawa topped the polls and

outspent all council candidates with her expenses of $14,613. Incumbent Mary Trentadue followed at $12,562, with first-time candidate Chinu Das close behind at $12,388. Rounding out the list for Team Cote were three incumbents – Patrick Johnstone ($10,635); Chuck Puchmayr ($10,024) and Jaimie McEvoy ($5,859).

Rally praises new renoviction rules

Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Tenants are praising the City of New Westminster’s “trailblazing” efforts to prevent renovictions.

On Monday, council approved amendments to the business regulations and licensing (rental units) bylaw to add new regulations to restrict evictions.

The rules cover when evictions can be considered, provisions for temporary accommodations for tenants in cases when evictions are deemed necessary, provisions to prohibit increases in rents after renovations are done, punishments for contravening the bylaw, and when exemptions would be considered.

In addition to revoking the business licences of multi-family rental property owners who don’t comply with the bylaw, the city has established fines of $500 and $1,000 for evicting tenants without permits, evicting without relocating tenants, failing to provide a relocation agreement or providing relocation documentation and implementing an excessive rent in-

crease.

“Nobody is safe anymore,” said Katie Marshall, whose apartment building was recently sold to an owner known for doing renovictions.

“Everybody is being affected. I really think that this bylaw could be a really good start to having some consequences for these people that are doing this because they cannot be allowed to

keep doing what they are doing.This is insanity. It feels almost like the Twilight Zone to me sometimes. It’s hard to believe this is real, this is happening to my friends and family and possibly to me, but it’s happening and it needs to stop.”

More than 30 tenants and housing advocates appeared before council to support the bylaw amendment. In addition to filling council

chambers, about 75 people filled city hall’s foyer.

“We need to figure out a way to secure our homes.

It should be a basic human right to have stable housing and to not be afraid of losing your housing,” Marshall said.

“That’s where we are at, and it’s all in the name of money. Money has become more important than our humanity.That is a really

DEVELOPMENT

Bosa apologizes for pile-driving issues Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Bosa Developments is sorry for any disruptions it’s caused for residents and businesses around its Pier West construction site.

In the past month, area residents have complained about pile-driving noise and vibrations, plus light intrusion. A delegation from River Market recently appeared before council to voice concerns about issues such as parking and access to the riverfront and the market, which is located between two sites where major developments are underway – RiverSky at 1000 Quayside Dr. and Pier West at 660 Quayside Dr. Ryan Bosa, president of Bosa Developments, apologized to council on Monday night for the impacts that construction activities are having on residents and businesses, and updated the city on the work that’s taking place at Pier West.

“It’s a very complex project,” Bosa told council. “In many ways, we didn’t realize what we were getting into when we had to do river work. Grossly underestimated the amount of work, what that takes. It’s put us into a position where I am here to apologize to the mayor, to council and to the community for the amount of noise, the distraction and the disruption it’s had on people’s lives, for January in particular.”

In a letter to the city on Feb. 24, Bosa said the company didn’t realize the “immense pressure” it placed on the community and is committed to doing better.

“There are things that we can and will do better.

There are things that we are somewhat stuck to,” he told council.

In response to complaints about noise and vibrations from pile driving at other developments in the downtown, the city approved changes in 2018 regarding

Construction noise: Bosa is continuing work on Pier West, which includes two highrise towers. PHOTO RECORD FILES

the hours and types of pile driving that would be permitted in New Westminster.

Although the changes to the type of technology that can be used don’t take effect until March 1, Bosa voluntarily committed to using other pile driving techniques – but encountered challenging site conditions when building the shoring wall that separates the site from the Fraser River.

“We initially intended to have vibratory hammering, which I don’t think most people even recognized it was happening from late October all the way through. It continues to happen to this day,” Bosa told council. “The complaints started once we started impact hammering.”

Bosa said the company had no intention of using impact hammering, but had

to after hitting a layer of soil that initial engineering assessments concluded could be dealt with through vibratory hammers.

“We have the largest vibratory hammer out there, and it can’t get through,” he said. “Impact hammering is the only way we can get to the safe level for our piles to secure our wall.”

Coun. Mary Trentadue said Bosa did the right thing in coming to speak to council.

“I do appreciate the apology,” said Trentadue. “I think that the city has always known this was going to be a complicated project, but understandably things have occurred that perhaps weren’t foreseen.”

Bosa is hosting a public information meeting on Feb. 13 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Fraser River Discovery Centre.

Bosa has launched a website (www.660quaysidedr. com) where community members can get updates.

Team Cote members outspent the Progressives Continued from page 1 Other than McEvoy, all members of Team Cote spent more than the four council candidates running for the NewWestminster Progressive Electors Coalition Society: Daniel Fontaine, Paul McNamara, Ellen Vaillancourt and Bryn Ward.

City SCHOOLS

Food program launched Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

It was a lofty goal: make sure every student has access to affordable and healthy food at school.

The idea was put forward by former school trustee Jonina Campbell in June 2017, and this week the culmination of nearly two years of work by district staff rolls out at three local schools.

“It’s actually gone quite smoothly, to be honest,” said Quirina Gamblen, the district’s director of instruction, programs and planning.

The goal is to offer healthy meals made the same day they are delivered.

Ready Maid Meals, a Burnaby-based catering company run by Chef Gary Hovey, will prepare the meals.

“I’d say it was more of a partnership. He’s really invested in what we’re doing – believes in feeding healthy food to children,” Gamblen said.

Last year, the board of education set aside $50,000

to cover the start-up costs of the new food program.

The first phase launched at École Qayqayt elementary on Tuesday, Queen Elizabeth Elementary on Thursday (today) and launches at Queensborough Middle School on Friday.

The meals are being developed by the district’s nutrition coordinator and registered dietician Cyndi Adams on a month-bymonth basis and include gluten-free and vegetarian options. Adams will adjust the meals as the program moves forward and the district starts to get feedback, Gamblen said.

Parents will be able to order their child’s meals a week in advance, and anyone in need of financial assistance can apply for funding through the school district.When the food is delivered to the classroom, there won’t be anything that identifies the subsidized meals, Gamblen stressed.

Options available range from spinach salad with chickpea patties or chicken

to Thai noodle salad to barbecue chicken wraps and more. Parents can order a meal and add any sides they’d like, which are often fruit or vegetables.

“My favourite is the corn and bean salsa. It is absolutely delicious, and they have some really awesome baked goods as well – the lemon loaf is to die for,” Gamblen told the Record.

Phase 2 of the program is set to begin Sept. 24 at Fraser River Middle School and Lord Tweedsmuir and Connaught Heights elementary schools. F.W. Howay and Richard McBride elementary schools and Glenbrook Middle School will follow on Nov. 5, 6 and 7, respectively.

The program will launch at Herbert Spencer and Lord Kelvin elementary schools in January 2020.

New Westminster Secondary School will be last to join the program because Gamblen and her team will have to develop a program specific to the high school.

ELECTIONS

More money didn’t equal more votes Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Spending thousands of dollars on the New Westminster school board race didn’t translate into more votes, but it didn’t hurt either.

Team Cote trustee candidates Dee Beattie and Mark Gifford spent the most money of all school trustee candidates in the 2018 municipal election, but they came second and fourth in the polls, respectively.

It was first-time candidate and Team Cote running mate Anita Ansari who topped the polls with more than 6,800 votes. Ansari, however, spent the least of all Team Cote trustee candidates at $6,917, according to financial disclosure statements released by Elections BC on Tuesday.

Beattie, meanwhile, spent $11,047 on her campaign, but this included $4,240 left over from her failed run for trustee in the 2016 byelection.

Gifford spent $8,525 on

his campaign while Maya Russell spent $6,934.

Gurveen Dhaliwal, who also ran under the Team Cote banner, spent $8,349.

She was also the biggest fundraiser in the trustee race, earning more than $8,000 from some notable donors, including Burnaby Lougheed MLA Katrina Chen, New Westminster MP Peter Julian, New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy, former city councillor Bill Harper, and Team Cote city council candidates Mary Trentadue, Patrick Johnstone, Jonathan Cote and Nadine Nakagawa.

Team Cote mayoral, council and trustee candidates also declared $46,745 in shared election expenses during the campaign period, between Sept. 22 and Oct. 20.Trustee candidates’ share of these expenses ranged from $3,400 to $4,500.

In total,Team Cote school trustee candidates outspent their New Westminster Progressives opponents by more than

$10,000.

The Progressives, who ran as an official electoral organization and shared their funds between four candidates, including Cyrus Sy, Lisa Falbo, JP LeBerg and Danielle Connelly, spent more than $30,581 on their campaign for school board compared to the more than $40,950 spent by Team Cote candidates.

Connelly was the only Progressive candidate to be elected.

The only independent candidate to win a seat on the board was incumbent Mary Lalji.

Lalji spent $1,587 on her campaign and received only one donation – $1,000 from Kurt Wipp, owner of Piva Modern Italian.

Other candidates, including Steve Tsonev, Scott McIntosh, Cathy McCallum, Lisa Graham and Alejandro Diaz, who all ran as independents, spent between $176 and $3,900 on their campaigns.

Opinion OUR VIEW

Council keeps promise on bold housing changes New Westminster made history last week when it became the first city in British Columbia to apply new rental residential tenure zoning to existing rental housing stock.

How you react to this bit of history likely depends on whether you are a renter or a landlord or developer.

Following a public hearing, council approved a zoning amendment bylaw that would add site-specific rental tenure restrictions to specific properties in the city. In addition to 12 city-

owned properties that could be used for future municipal housing projects, the bylaw applies to six existing stratified buildings that have operated as rental buildings.

“Bylaw 8078 responds to the current housing crisis and the current renovictions crisis,” said Emilie Adin, the city’s director of development services. “The situation is that the moratorium on strata conversions cannot protect rental tenure in stratified buildings.The residential rental tenure zoning is the only city-led

initiative that can be undertaken to protect rental tenure of the buildings.”

The reaction to council’s decision was swift from renters in New West.

Ann Hawboldt, who rents an apartment in New Westminster, said the city could lose rental units in these buildings if the current owners decided to sell.

“New West is doing great things in this province,” she said.

“The whole province is watching. I hope the whole country is watching because

renters like me need protection.”

She’s right – the whole province is watching.

Representatives from property and development companies, Landlord BC and the Urban Development Institute were among those who voiced concerns about the city’s plan.They have raised the spectre of scaring off future rental developments – a fair point and a possible unintended consequence.

Developers are also questioning the legality of the

new rules. It remains to be seen if the city will be challenged in court on this issue, but that is common for new legislation.

Someone has to be first and sometimes that means landing in court to test legislation.

One landlord told council their property is family owned and that they have no plans to sell the rental building, so renovictions won’t happen.

But as Coun. Patrick Johnstone rightly pointed out, the city can’t bank on

the promise that someone won’t sell in the future to a developer who will renovict, or demovict, the tenants.

Council took things even further on Monday night with a unanimous vote on new rules that will restrict building owners from renovicting tenants.

Owners who don’t comply could have their business licences revoked.

Council ran on the promise to make bold changes to protect the rental stock.

They’ve kept their promise.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Greens lose big in byelection The BC NDP’s hold on power is stable again with the party’s byelection win in Nanaimo, but the result may also provide some lessons for its two rival parties.

While sitting governments usually lose byelections in B.C. (just three of the last 24 before Nanaimo went the government’s way), Nanaimo is an NDP stronghold (the party has won 14 of the last 16 elections there).

Percentage-wise, the NDP actually improved its vote compared to the 2017 general election, climbing to almost 50 per cent from 46.5 per cent.When the final count is completed this week (there are still more than 2,800 absentee ballots to be counted), the party will likely come close to matching or even exceeding its vote total in 2017.

For the BC Liberals, there was some good news, but it was disastrous for the B.C. Green Party.

The BC Liberals got more votes than they did in 2017, climbing about eight points. Many of those votes likely came from people who voted for the Greens in 2017, and if that kind of scenario is repeated in other key ridings in the next general election, it may be enough for some to swing the BC Liberals’ way.

Take the riding that literally decided the 2017 election – Courtenay-Comox, which the NDP won by just 189 votes.The BC Liberals’ share of the vote there declined by more than 3,500 in 2017, while the Green vote soared by more than 1,800. Any decline in the

Green vote during the next election may tip the riding back to the BC Liberals.

Another NDP-held riding that could be affected by a steep drop in Green support is Maple Ridge-Mission, while two BC Liberal-held ridings (Richmond-Queensborough and CoquitlamBurke Mountain) may revert to their usual status as “safe” BC Liberal ridings.

One reason for the modern improvement in the BC Liberal vote is that it ran a relatively young candidate in 35-year-old Tony Harris. BC Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson said Harris’ campaign shows his party now has to get younger and more diverse. He dropped broad hints that some veteran caucus members should consider retiring.

This may cause some internal tension in the BC Liberal caucus, but the party has no choice but to redefine itself with fresher faces.

Green Party leader Andrew Weaver, meanwhile, seemed frustrated over his party’s terrible showing in Nanaimo and hinted his caucus may revisit its relationship with the NDP.The party is the junior partner in the ruling NDP-Green alliance and has nothing to show for it, other than a loss of identity.

The B.C. electoral map is tight. One party or another won most ridings rather comfortably, but if the Green vote is indeed declining, those defecting voters in just a few ridings may decide the next election outcome.

Peace group slams war toys The New Westminster Peace Council held a demonstration against war toys outside of Woodwards in December.

The 15-member group was encouraging shoppers not to buy violent toys, like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Transformer action figures, for kids for Christmas.

Council member Laura-Lynn Beech told the Record war toys encourage aggressive and violent behaviour, and boycotting them would send a message to department stores.

Owners should be paid for their lost value Editor: Re: City the first to apply new B.C. zoning, Record, Jan. 31 I understand the concern to preserve rental housing in New Westminster.

However, I do sympathize with the owners of rental buildings who have had their investments retroactively devalued by the new bylaw applying rental tenure restrictions.

To those of us who are fortunate to own homes in New Westminster, consider how we would react if the city forced us to sell our properties not on the open market, but only to those with limited financial means, thus devaluing our property.

The right thing is to preserve rental properties, but to compensate the landowners for the devaluation of their property. This spreads the costs of providing lower-income housing across all of the citizens of New Westminster and not just to those who have taken on the risk of being rental property owners.

Dale Darychuk, New Westminster

Drivers ignoring signals Editor: I am very disappointed and disturbed at the apparent lack of traffic oversight (in New Westminster). This includes both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

We will frequently go down Cumberland Street to cross over East Columbia Street, to walk along the river at Sapperton Park. It is, however, a

roulette, it seems, to get across Columbia at the pedestrian crossing lights. We have to be constantly aware that even though the traffic signals indicate a walk light, traffic going mainly west on Columbia fails to stop at the red light.

Additionally, many vehicles coming down Cumberland just turn left onto Columbia to go up towards the hospital or, alternatively, go along Brunette to go onto the highway or maybe Coquitlam.

This in spite of a no left-turn sign for the Cumberland traffic.

Why do they do this?

To cut into the frequent lineup of traffic on Columbia, but also because there is no monitoring of traffic by the authorities.

It is a similar situation when one goes uptown and pedestrians walk across either Sixth Street or Sixth Avenue, ignoring the “don’t walk” signs, stopping traffic from making a right-hand turn onto these two streets.

There are going to be more injuries and accidents because pedestrians feel they have the right-of-way, and someone turning onto one of these two streets just doesn’t see a pedestrian walk out in front of their vehicle.

We need to educate both drivers as well pedestrians, and also start to hand out tickets to those who feel the signals are there for someone else.

A severe injury or even a death is preventable if everyone obeys the rules of the road as well as traffic signals, but it might be too late for someone who think they don’t have to wait another minute to cross safely with the walk signal.

Lack of enforcement to me is a big concern.

City Trustees endorse plan to add child-care spaces Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

The New Westminster school district is going back to the drawing board to figure out the best use of the 136 child-care spaces it hopes to open.

The district plans to ask for $3.5 million from the Childcare BC new spaces fund to create spaces at Richard McBride, F.W. Howay, Connaught Heights and Queensborough Middle School.

A Jan. 15 report outlined the number of spaces sought by the district and the breakdown.

But last week, secretary-

Facing charges: The driver of this Jeep is suspected of driving while prohibited. PHOTO SHANE MACKICHAN

Driver arrested after rolling Jeep Police say the driver of a Jeep that plummeted down an embankment off Columbia Street west of McBride Boulevard on Saturday may have been driving while prohibited.

The crash happened around 3:25 a.m. on Feb. 2 along the stretch of Colum-

bia Street that runs under the Pattullo Bridge. New Westminster Police say the driver of a black Jeep was travelling west on Columbia when they lost control of the vehicle going into a turn and fell over the ridge, about 50 feet down.

The driver and passen-

ger survived with no reported injuries, according to Sgt. Jeff Scott.

Police arrested the driver on suspicion of driving while prohibited and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.The driver was released on a promise to appear in court at a later date.

treasurer Kim Morris told trustees she needed more time to flesh out the exact configuration of the new spaces with staff and community partners.

Morris asked trustees to endorse the district’s plan for 136 spaces so staff can get started on the application.

Trustees agreed to move forward with the modified plan.

Morris is expected to provide an update on the breakdown of the child-care spaces at the school board’s Feb. 12 operations policy and planning committee meeting.

Engman & Gunther N O T A R I E S

The area was closed for more than seven hours while investigators with the police department’s collision analysis and reconstruction team searched for evidence of any other factors that may have contributed to the crash, according to Scott.

City PLANNING

What’s next for New West’s OCP?

Planning staff have been handed a daunting list, and one councillor fears adding duplexes and triplexes will be delayed Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster will be tackling various components of the official community plan in 2019, but it remains to be seen whether work on duplexes and triplexes will be in the mix.

In November 2017, the city endorsed an OCP implementation work program that identified several initiatives city staff would work on in 2019. Staff recently updated council on the priorities for 2019 (22nd Street SkyTrain station master plan development, infill housing implementation Phase 1 monitoring program, street activity program, short-term rental program and supporting OCP action implementation).

Items identified for implementation between 2020 and 2024 are infill housing implementation Phase 2 (duplex and triplex), Lower 12th and Sharpe street area, Brunette Creek development permit area, flood hazard development permit

area, and an update to the downtown community plan.

Work on the Phase 2 of the infill housing implementation, which would include duplexes and triplexes, was previously listed as a priority for 2019, but staff recommended it be taken off this year’s work plan.

“This council has been a strong advocate for housing, and all types of housing forms,” said Coun.

Mary Trentadue. “I am concerned that by pushing this later we just become later to the game as far as planning this kind of housing. I appreciate that even by putting it into a 2019 work plan, it’s still probably going to take a couple of years to come to sort of its full extent. I don’t actually support pushing that forward.”

Jackie Teed, the city’s planning director, said staff pulled that item out of this year’s work plan because the department has been shifting staff around to work on some significant development applications that are happening in the city.

PLANNING AHEAD: The city hosted several OCP planning sessions.

“Recently, we have been focusing on internal staff doing that work rather than using external consultants.That has reduced the amount of hours that we have to apply to our policy work.We have been working to identify what pieces we can shift around,” she said. “Certainly there is an opportunity to put some

pieces back in, but what it means is that all pieces need to take a longer amount of time in order for us to do them.”

Trentadue said she doesn’t want New Westminster to fall behind in allowing other forms of housing that should be available, and she wants the city to stay the course on determining

PHOTO RECORD FILES

what kind of housing forms would work in the city.

Teed said another option would be for the city to accept applications for duplexes and triplexes and use those as pilot projects to develop design guidelines for those housing forms. She said the city could apply what it learned through the laneway house and town-

house design guideline process to these housing forms.

“From my experience, some of our decisions that we have made on the fly or as projects come forward have been more challenging for the applicant because we haven’t actually done the work at the table, and we have sort of tested it or practised it on them. I am not sure that has always been efficient for them,” Trentadue said. “I would prefer that that item gets put back into the planning years that it was originally in.”

Mayor Jonathan Cote said he’d be comfortable if it took staff a little bit longer to work on some of the OCP items but wouldn’t support adding the work on duplexes and triplexes to staff’s workload if it meant delays to the monitoring of Phase 1 of the infill housing implementation (which is work on rowhouses and townhouses) and development of a master plan for the area around the 22nd Street SkyTrain station.

Here are some of the initiatives city staff are working on A recent report to council outlined the various initiatives city staff will be working on related to the official community plan. Here’s some of the work the City of New Westminster will be working on in relation to implementation of the official community plan approved in October 2017: ! 22nd Street SkyTrain station master plan development will finalize proposed land uses and den-

sities, identify required infrastructure and community amenity needs; establish a program for financing these amenities through development; and adopt public and private realm design guidelines. Staff anticipates the plan would be adopted in the fall of 2020, instead of early 2020 as previously proposed. ! Infill housing implementation – Phase 1 monitoring program:The pro-

creating employment opportunities for small businesses by allowing food trucks, street entertainment and street vending in designated locations in New Westminster. ! Short-term rental program will look at current regulations on short-term rental, analyze what’s being done in other municipalities and provide options for creating a program in New Westminster.

gram, which includes laneway and carriage housing, infill townhouses and rowhouses, will be assessed in terms of uptake, quality of design, public perceptions, barriers to participating in the laneway and carriage house program, etc.

Any updates to the program and revisions are anticipated in early 2020. ! Street activity program will focus on ways of enhancing street vitality and

! Supporting OCP action implementation would include work on projects led by other departments that may relate to land use and development planning, such as building energy initiatives, work with the school board regarding planning for future schools, and implementation of an integrated storm water management plan. ! Bent Court study area, which is designated as a

study area because of the heritage assets of this group of houses near Sixth Street and Fourth Avenue, could be implemented in 2019 – if a developer is interested in collaborating with the city. ! Phase 2 Infill housing implementation would include drafting zoning regulations and development permit guidelines and determining an appropriate approval process for duplex and triplexes.

Community EVENTS

City-hosted event will look to the future SPOTLIGHT ON:

INNOVATION WEEK WHAT’S HAPPENING? The City of NewWestminster is hosting its third annual InnovationWeek. It begins March 2 and ends on March 8 – International Women’s Day. “InnovationWeek is now a highlight of the year in NewWestminster,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote. “The excitement and inspiration it creates have fuelled lasting conversations in our community. NewWestminster is proud to be a leader in important discussions around how to make communities innovative, vibrant places to live and do business.”

minster initially created InnovationWeek as a way of creating opportunities to engage with other levels of government in order to increase funding and partnership potential.The city is now using InnovationWeek to develop relationships with stakeholders that can help advance city priorities and programs such as Intelligent NewWest, the master transportation plan and the New Media Gallery.

“It gives us an opportunity to have government engagement and show off what we are doing here,” Arbo said.

WHAT’S INNOVATION? Jen Arbo, who has been retained by the city as its InnovationWeek coordinator, said InnovationWeek events have been built around the city’s expanded definition of innovation.

“When we say innovation, everybody immediately thinks about computers, coding and technology, and that’s not entirely it,” she said. “For us, we developed a definition that refers to new ideas, approaches and solutions, a different way to approach things, and a sort of creative and more fulsome way of thinking of things.We try and come up with solutions that will benefit everyone.When we think about innovation, it doesn’t just refer to the technology.”

WHAT’S PLANNED THIS YEAR? InnovationWeek kicks off with theYEET! (Youth Exploration and Experimentation in Technology) Child +Youth Innovation Festival on March 2 and 3 and the PechaKucha NewWest speakers’ series on March 2.

March 4 features the New Westminster Business and Tech Meetup (a networking event), BC Tech Dev. 101 (a workshop for newly elected municipal politicians), a school district showcase of work by local students, and a technology fair.

The Innovation Forum, being held in conjunction with Public Services and Procurement Canada, is on March 6 and the Transportation Forum is on March 7.

The AdvancingWomen in STEAM symposium takes place on Friday, March 8. It features speakers on numerous topics celebrating ways

Stay tuned for details about a “secret pop-up dance event” being planned by the Arts Council of NewWestminster and Open Space Planning Collaboration.

WHO WILL BE SPEAKING DURING INNOVATION WEEK? There will be more than NOW $569,900!!!

NEW LISTING

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HACKATHON? “Hackathons are super popular right now,” Arbo explained. “A lot of people are doing them. In that month alone, there’s about three that are happening.We were concerned that we wouldn’t get a huge turnout for the hackathon.”

Instead of the hackathon, Amazon is helping to put on more robust programming for youth by sponsoring this year’sYEET! Child and Youth Innovation Festival.

“There is some sort of hack stuff that will be happening there,” Arbo noted. “It’s not necessarily a room of people coding at their computers with an end product, but it is a lot of that sort of code and hack and

innovation thinking.”

HOW MUCH DOES INNOVATION WEEK COST? Last June, city council approved a $120,000 budget for InnovationWeek, anticipating it would bring in $50,000 in sponsorships and would cost the city $70,000. A Jan. 14 report to council stated all previous sponsors renewed their commitment to participate and additional sponsors have been secured.The city has identified $57,000 in sponsorship funding, which is $7,000 more than what was forecast in the budget.

New West audiences can get a sneak peek at a new theatrical experience in which the audience shapes the plot.

Alley Theatre is staging two free showings of its work-in-progress, Inheritance:A Pick-the-Path Experience, at the Anvil Centre.

It’s onstage Friday, Feb. 8 at 12:30 and 7 p.m.

The show is written and performed by Daniel Arnold, Darrell Dennis and Medina Hahn and directed

by Herbie Barnes.

The production follows the story of an urban couple who arrives for a weeklong getaway at their dad’s vast rural estate only to find their father gone and another man staying there instead.They ask the man to leave, but he doesn’t want to go – and the audience decides what happens next, by voting every 10 to 12 minutes or so.

“When it’s revealed that the rights to the entire property are actually up for grabs, the audience must choose – democratically via every vote they make – who, if anyone, will be the ‘rightful’ inheritor of the land,” a write-up about the show notes.

The Anvil Centre is at 777 Columbia St. Showings are free, but booking tickets is recommended; sign up at www.ticketsnw. ca or find out more at www.anvilcentre.com.

Q A

What should I bring with me to the gym?

Like your 1st day at school it can be very nerve racking joining a gym, not knowing the rules and what to bring. No jeans, flip flops or heels. Comfortable LUKE RAMNATH athletic wear will do the job along with a pair of gym shoes. Bring a bottle of water, a small towel and a lock are optional. Eat something small before you train, if it’s a bigger meal wait 2-3 hours so it digest. Remember to clean your equipment with the sanitizing spray and paper towels provided. Although you might work up a sweat here, always wear clean gym clothes and use deodorant. Avoid talking on your cell as it’s very distracting to members around you. It’s really not that intimidating and you don’t need to be in shape before you join. We look forward to seeing you at Dynamic soon.

Designer tips for style?

You must first know the rules before you can break them. We love the idea of tossing the design rule book out the window, but there are some guidelines that make the task of decorating easier and more foolproof. Michelle Dupre Design is well-versed finding decorating tricks to transform an empty space into an inspiring and unique home.

Mix Textures Try adding different textures, accents like rugs, throws, or accent cushions.

Layer Lighting Rooms with one type of lighting, can feel two-dimensional. Add extra floor/table lamp or sconce for added glow.

Take Risks With Accessories Start small with accessories like a quirky bowl or statement vase.

Don’t Forgo Function Consider opting for items that offer form and function especially in small spaces.

Be Bold with Paint Colors When in doubt, make a dark room darker

ASK A LICE SPECIALIST

Q A

We often get asked, “why does my child(ren) have lice but I don’t?”

It happens more often than you think that some members in the family will be infected when others are not, despite the opportunities living in the same household.

SAEA VIVIAN Lice will prefer certain people over others based on blood type, body temperature, and hair type. Regardless of how much head to head contact there has been, it’s hard to know who lice will move to and who they will avoid.

It’s for this reason that it is so important to have the whole family checked when lice has been confirmed. If one person has it, more could be hiding without anyone knowing. If you aren’t sure, get checked. There’s nothing worse that treating the family member who has it only to discover someone else is hiding a surprise. A 10-15 minute check can save you time, money, and the stress of starting all over again.

ASK A PHYSIOTHERAPIST

Q A

My balance isn’t as good as it used to be when I’m curling, and I worry about falling.

What can I do to help?

Balance is inherently challenged in curling. This is in part due to being played on ice, but also due to being in constant motion while playing. We call this type JIM GOVETT of balance dynamic balance.

Often the greatest challenges to balance, as we get older, occur because of decreases in muscle strength ,endurance and flexibility, and a reduction in joint mobility.

Your Physiotherapist understands the demands of your sport, and will help you develop a personalized exercise program to address any deficits you may have. Some areas needing attention likely include core, hip and quadriceps strength and endurance. Hamstring and calf flexibility are often restricted, as is mobility of the hips, spine and shoulders.

ASK A DENTIST

Q A

I can hear my 4 year old grinding their teeth at night. What can be done?

Unfortunately, tooth grinding is not limited to adults. In fact, it is a very common habit in young children. It is estimated that DR. CHANTAL THÉRIAULT between 15 to 30% of children grind their teeth at night. In the case of children, however, the majority of them will outgrow the habit by the time that their permanent teeth have fully erupted in their mouth. Grinding of baby teeth rarely causes long lasting problems. This said, grinding in children can still cause jaw pain, headaches and wearing down of the primary teeth.

Stress is often linked to a child’s increased grinding habit, therefore some effort should be done to decrease a child’s anxiety levels. Finally, if the habit persists once your child’s permanent teeth have fully erupted, a night guard can be fitted to prevent damage to the permanent teeth.

ASK A REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST

Q A

My child is having trouble learning, does this mean they have a learning disability?

80% of referrals to school psychologists are for kids who cannot read words, spell, add and subtract or pay attention.

It’s possible your child has a learning disability, but not necessarily.

MAUREEN MACKINNON- Kids can be stressed out and distracted MCQUARRIE, PH.D. by many things such as feelings (e.g. sadness), physical sensations (e.g. stomach feels funny), thoughts (e.g. I can’t do this work), and experiences (e.g. no friends).

Mindfulness practise can help kids be more aware of what is on their mind in the moment, reduce stress and improve focus (see Mind Shift app). Psychologists rule out significant stressors and lack of evidence based teaching before diagnosing a learning disability. A psychologist can screen your child for learning disability and will help you decide if a comprehensive diagnostic assessment is needed. An assessment will reveal your child’s strengths and needs and open the door to evidence based instruction, materials and programs to re-engage learning.

Has your child been screened for learning disability?

ASK A DENTURIST

Q A

How much do dentures cost?

That is a really good question that has a range of answers. The cost of dentures is dependent upon the conditions within your mouth, the types of materials being used, the techniques used by the Denturist. Denture care is BRIAN KO an ongoing service to maintain a healthy mouth. What many patients don’t realize is that there is a service aspect connected to complete denture care, which includes modification of dentures over time to eliminate “sore spots” or to improve how the teeth fit for chewing, and correcting the look of or adjusting the dentures to make them more comfortable and stable. The conditions of your mouth make your treatment easier or harder and therefore may result in different costs.

Community An app that forces my kids to reply to texts? I’m in Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

When I was in Grade 10 – long before cellphones were a common teen accessory and home phones were our only means of telecommunication – I remember calling my mom to check in after school and telling her I was at a girlfriend’s house.

But really, I was at a boy’s house.

I didn’t think she had any way of figuring out my real location, but she was smarter than I had thought. She called that same number back and told me to come

right home. She had *69’d my call and discovered the number didn’t match that of my friend.

Technology has come a long way since my teen years. As parents, we do our best to keep on top of tracking the whereabouts of our kids, but they always seem to be one step ahead of us.

The other day, I decided to send a check-in text message to my 11-yearold daughter while she was shopping at the mall with friends.When she didn’t immediately respond, I panicked. Had she received my text? Was she safe? Was she just ignoring me?

When we met up at our

meeting spot an hour later, she said she hadn’t seen my text because she had set her phone to silent. I shrugged it off but thought there must be an easier way to check in.

Then I came across an article recently shared by Parents.com about a new app called ReplyASAP, designed by a distressed dad in the U.K. who wanted to find a solution to texts being ignored by his son.

“When I try and contact him, he rarely answers, either because he doesn’t hear the phone or because (and I’ve finally had to admit this to myself) he may be embarrassed to speak to his dad in front of his

friends,” inventor Nick Herbert shared of the story behind the app – which has already been downloaded over 100,000 times. (It’s not yet available for iOs devices, but that’s coming soon.)

The app, aimed at eliciting an immediate response from kids who receive text messages from their parents (and vice versa), features an audible alert – even when the phone has been set to silent. Once the message has been seen, the sender receives a notification that the message has been read and can also see the location of the recipient. Best of all, the app disables all other phone functionalities until the

message sender has received a reply.

When I read about this app, my immediate reaction was: sign me up!

Other readers who commented on the article were opposed. “I don’t ever want to need to force my kids to reply to me. Doesn’t sound healthy to me,” commented one reader. “What a sad world. Authoritarianism is not the answer,” quipped another.

As a parent who is easing into a more independent stage with my tween, I think this app offers a great way to ensure my messages are read and receive a prompt reply, and to know the

whereabouts of my child. I think it would help to establish trust as we navigate new waters.

I may have resented my mom for figuring out how to *69 my calls when I was a teen, but I quickly learned it was better to just be honest about my whereabouts and to check in regularly so my parents didn’t worry.

I hope my children will learn to do the same, and if it starts with an app, that works for me.

HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

Hyacks beat Byrne to net league final berth Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

As big steps go,Tuesday’s win was huge.

Having talked about hard work and potential through the long high school hoop season, New Westminster Hyacks senior boys coach Ted Cusick was longing to see it come together in a sustained way.

In the Burnaby-New West league semi-

LACROSSE

’Bellies get Salt Veteran bolsters NewWest’s backline Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.cal

Everyone knows too much salt is a bad thing – and in lacrosse circles, that Salt is especially bad for opposing offences.

The New Westminster Salmonbellies bolstered its defensive ranks by acquiring Coquitlam native Justin Salt in a deal with the Burnaby Lakers on the weekend.

The trade, which occurred as teams prepare for Thursday’s Western Lacrosse Association’s junior draft, sees the ’Bellies forgoing their first and second round selections, as well as their first pick in 2021.

“What we’re getting is a guy who we view as being in his prime lacrosse years, who has a track record on transition and defence that is among the best in the league, and who is a strong character for the dressing room to boot,” remarked New West general manager Dan Richardson.

Last year, due to National Lacrosse League commitments and an injury, Salt only dressed for five Laker games, tallyng two goals and two assists. In Burnaby’s run to a WLA regular season title in 2017, he scored 10 goals over 13 games and was named to the first allstar team.

“For me, it was an easy decision to make.We stocked up an area we were hoping to improve on, and (Salt) is excited to be back in Salmonbellie colours.”

The 28-year-old Salt played his junior in New West and is a starter with the NLL’s Vancouver Warriors.

final, he got that and more.

New West advanced to the league final, nudging defending league champion Byrne Creek 89-84 in a close battle that tested the team’s depth and determination.

“We’ll take it. Everybody did their part,” remarked Cusick. “We didn’t rely upon one guy to do all the scoring or defending.”

Up by five after 10 minutes and down 4339 at halftime, the Hyacks caught fire and

built up a 10-point lead before watching the Bulldogs strike back. In the fourth quarter, Byrne nudged ahead 76-75 before New West wrestled away the momentum.

Captain Mo Al-Ghreibawi peeled off four straight free throws to cap the comeback.

“They were pumped, and I was relieved,” said Cusick of the win. “It’s taken a while, but finally everything came together.”

Luke Burton and Al-Ghreibawi set the

tone with 23 points each, whle Ethan Rivas was a dominating force on the boards, winning 20 of them and adding 16 points.

It came on the heels of a positive run at the Robert Bateman Timberwolves Classic on the weekend, where they edged Pitt Meadows 76-74 on a shot with two seconds remaining.

New West now faces Burnaby South at South on Monday for the league title.

Shasta star finds strength in strong ties Mario Bartel

editorial@newwestrecord.ca

Tamara O’Brien thought her connection to the gymnastics career she loved was finished and her medalwinning days done after being diagnosed with Stage 4 melanoma.

But the example set by another young adult who battled cancer – and succumbed to the disease – showed her that those fears were unfounded and imbued her with the confidence to forge ahead.

Here’s what happened: In the fall of 2017, after returning from a competition in Spain, O’Brien was diagnosed with cancer. Her surgeon removed 23 lymph nodes, four of them showing signs of melanoma. She has since undergone a variety of treatments but, last spring, a new CT scan showed signs of cancer in her groin, liver, ribs and spine. Her new diagnosis: Stage 4.

Last fall, Danielle Schroeder, one of O’Brien’s counsellors at the Callanish Society, a support organization for young adults dealing with a cancer diagnosis, told her about a new foundation that offers a special experience to people like her enduring a life-threatening illness.

The Forward Foundation was started by Christopher Cayford, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2013 when he was 27 years old and died from the disease last March. A Richmond recreational hockey player until he got sick, Cayford saw a gap in the support system that offered plenty of life-affirming experiences for children and adolescents going through trying medical challenges, but little for young adults like himself.

Schroeder suggested O’Brien apply to be the foundation’s first recipient of such an experience.

At first, the New Westminsterbased Shasta Trampoline Club athlete, who won a silver at the World Games in Poland just before she got sick, was reluctant.

“I couldn’t think of what I wanted,” O’Brien said, adding a GoFundMe campaign last year that raised $16,000 had given her the means to pursue a life experience or two on her own if she so desired.

Then, as O’Brien lay in bed one night, it came to her.

She sat up and retrieved the application form from her nightstand.

She wrote that she wanted to attend

the World Trampoline Gymnastics Championships in Russia, and she wanted to take friend and teammate, Pam Kriangkum.

“This is about me,” O’Brien said of her choice. “I’m allowed to be selfish.”

Two days after she’d submitted her application, the Forward Foundation contacted O’Brien to tell her she’d been approved. But with the worlds just a month away, time was short to arrange the necessary visas, flights and hotels.

Embarking on the long journey to Kriangkum’s home in Edmonton, then Amsterdam and on to St. Petersburg, O’Brien kept her expectations in check. She said she chose going to the worlds so she could close the door on her athletic career.

“My intention was to be able to say ‘goodbye,’” she said, adding, “I was really scared about it.”

O’Brien said she didn’t know how the gymnasts would react to her

presence. She didn’t want to be a distraction, she didn’t want to make them sad, “I just wanted to be there and watch.”

After a missed connection in Amsterdam, O’Brien and her friend landed in Russia exhausted. Kriangkum insisted they attend Team Canada’s dinner that night because O’Brien was named the team’s opening ceremony flag-bearer.

She was humbled by the news.

O’Brien carried Canada’s flag at international competitions before, “but it was really different this time.”

When she entered the hotel’s banquet room, she got another surprise.The entire Canadian delegation rose to their feet, clapping, and they were all wearing shirts that said: “We jump for Tamara.”

O’Brien was overwhelmed.

“For months, I’d felt I had lost my community, but now I felt like every single one of them was there

with me.”

O’Brien admitted her nerves ratcheted up for the double minitrampoline competition, her specialty. But being able to see her friends and competitors do well made her proud.

“I wasn’t jealous of everybody,” she said. “I was so happy for their success.”

At the end of the four-day competition, O’Brien and Kriangkum were able to secure tickets to the athletes’ banquet, a formal affair for all the competitors to let their hair down and blow out the week’s stresses.

But first, Kriangkum informed O’Brien, they had to make a pitstop at Canada’s team meeting.

There, O’Brien was called to the front of the room by twotime Olympic gold medalist Rosie McLennan, who thanked her for coming to support the team and Continued on page 26

tion,” O’Brien said. “It was this complete sense of proving me wrong about my community being lost to me.”

Since returning from the championships last November, O’Brien said she has had plenty of time to absorb the enormity and importance of her experience and the unique challenges of being a young adult with cancer.

“We’re the forgotten generation of cancer,” she said.

She recently visited Las Vegas, and next month, she’s headed for a two-week trip around Europe with her boyfriend.

“I’ve learned to go after what I want to do instead of living in fear of the ‘what ifs.’”

VOLLEYBALL

Depth is paying dividends for the Douglas College Royals women’s volleyball team.

The squad swept a homeand-away series with the Columbia Bible College Bearcats, taking the opener 3-0 on home court on Friday, then following it up with a hard-fought 3-1 decision in the Valley.

It came after a week off, when the team worked at putting back-to-back losses to rival Vancouver Island University behind them.

It definitely wasn’t easy for the second-place Royals, as the last-place Bearcats looked nothing like a 1-19 club.

On Friday, nine different players registered kills as Douglas recorded decisions of 25-20, 25-19, 25-22 in the shutout. Leading virtually all through the first two sets, the Royals had to rally in the third game, erasing a 21-17 deficit.
