STOP! Glenn Antonelli lives near Richard McBride Elementary and says the intersection at Richmond and Hospital streets is a nightmare, with cars often running through the stop sign.

Intersection a ‘tragedy in the making’

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

A daily parade of drivers blowing through a stop sign at Richmond and Hospital streets has one couple pleading with the city to do something – and quick. Glenn Antonelli and his wife,Tanya, live in the 300 block of Hospital Street, just south of Richmond Street. Every day they watch drivers travelling along Richmond Street ignore the three-way stop at Hospital Street, in front of Richard McBride Elemen-

tary School. There haven’t been any serious accidents, yet, Antonelli told the Record, but he can’t sit back and wait. “It will happen, it’s just a matter of when,” he said. Antonelli said it hasn’t always been this bad, it’s only in the past handful of years that traffic along Richmond has become unbearable. He and his wife have been emailing the city for several years, trying to get their safety concerns addressed. In September 2017, Mayor Jonathan Cote came out

to meet them at the intersection, to see first-hand what Antonelli describes as “pretty brutal.” After the mayor’s visit, the city installed reflective strips on the stop sign poles and added more signs warning drivers to slow down and stop. But it’s not enough to stop drivers, Antonelli said. Last year, his wife contacted the police department pleading for someone to come out and see the situation for themselves. They hoped that if someone from the police depart-

ment saw the mess they see every day, there would be cause for increased enforcement. But the officer who was sent to observe drivers at Richmond and Hospital didn’t see anything out of the ordinary, Antonelli said. The police department told him they couldn’t justify spending resources on additional enforcement in the area. “It’s so disheartening for the city and the police to turn a blind eye to this problem. I know I am not the only resident on this

street who has pleaded for help. Honestly, it’s a tragedy in the making,”Tanya wrote in an email to the city and police department earlier this month. Antonelli said if the police department won’t increase enforcement, he’d like the city to install speed humps to force drivers to slow down. But he’s not hopeful that’ll ever happen. Antonelli and his wife are back at Square 1, and that means heading back out to the intersection to film the mess.

They hope that’ll be enough to convince the city and police department that changes are needed, and fast. In an email to the Record, the New Westminster Police Department said, to date, there have been no collisions reported at Richmond and Hospital streets. “Our traffic unit, along with the City of New Westminster officials, has monitored the location to determine if there are on-going violations or if the roadway design plays a factor,” read the statement.

Watchdog probing fatal shooting Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

B.C.’s police watchdog is investigating a police-involved shooting that happened Sunday night in Queensborough. According to police, officers were dispatched to the Queensborough Landing shopping centre following reports of man believed to be in possession of a firearm and threatening to hurt himself. The man was located behind Walmart, but when officers arrived, shots were fired.The man died of his injuries, police said. The incident happened around 9:40 p.m. on Feb. 24. Because police were involved in the shooting, investigators with the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. have been called in to conduct their own investigation. The IIO is mandated to investigate “police-related incidents of death or serious harm in order to determine whether or not an officer may have committed an offence.” The New Westminster Police is also conducting its own investigation. Members of the department’s major crime unit and fo-

BUDGET

Council eyes hefty tax hike Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster residents and businesses are facing their heftiest tax hike in years. On Monday, council directed staff to prepare the financial plan bylaw, which proposes a 5.28-percent tax increase for 2019. Staff will provide a public presentation on the draft budget on March 11 and give people an opportunity to speak about the proposed financial plan.The plan is for staff to seek formal approval of the budget that night. The proposed tax rate includes a 1.8-per-cent increase that’s related to the provincially imposed Employer Health Tax. In an attempt to minimize the burden on taxpayers, the city has reduced a one-per-cent capital tax levy it started collecting last year to 0.5 per cent in 2019. “This is a difficult budget year,” said Mayor Jonathan Cote, “particularly with the Employer Health Tax, from the very get-go adding 1.8 per cent before we did anything.” Colleen Ponzini, the city’s acting chief financial officer, said the city’s expenses have increased by $6.9 million, which is primarily from salary and benefit wage increments and new personnel to

History made with menstrual initiative in NewWest schools

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

New Westminster made history Tuesday night when it became the first school district in the province to pay for menstrual products and dispensers in all of its schools. “Your leadership is going to be an example to other school boards across the province and hopefully across Canada to improve education equality and access to education for all learners,” Douglas College professor and Vancouver

parent Selina Tribe told trustees on Tuesday. Trustees voted unanimously to approve the installation of coin-free dispensers for menstrual products in all of its schools.The move comes just over a month after Tribe met with trustees to encourage them to purchase and stock the dispensers. It’ll cost the New Westminster district about $10,000 to buy 30 dispensers and enough sanitary pads and tampons to stock them by September.

Council rejects Sapperton request

More funding requested to help put on annual Sapperton Days, but councillor says current contribution is already ‘generous’ Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

The City of New Westminster is willing to work with the community to help with this year’s Sapperton Days street festival, but it’s not going to kick in any more cash. The Sapperton Business Association recently requested the city contribute $25,000 towards the hiring of staff to support the 2019 festival.The longtime organizer of the festival is no longer able to put in all the hours needed to organize the event, so the group is in search of funding to hire people to help stage the festival that’s held every June on East Columbia Street. On Monday, council considered a letter from the business association and a staff report about the group’s request for an additional $25,000 grant, which is on top of the $5,000 grant already approved by council for this year’s festi-

val.While the city recognizes the value and benefit of this event and has supported it with in-kind services and/or cash funding, the report said the city’s festival committee had already distributed $242,816 in 2019 – which was more than its total budget of $235,000. Council approved a staff recommendation that it not support the additional $25,000 requested by the Sapperton Business Association, and directed staff to work with the event organizers to find alternative resources and planning methods to aid in putting on the 2019 event. Mayor Jonathan Cote said Sapperton Days has been an “incredible festival” in the community and is really appreciated by the neighbourhood. “The festival grant committee had already allocated all of the funding that was available in the budget,” he said. “I think the recommendation, although dif-

it would cost an additional $25,000 to employ people to organize the festival. In recent years, he’s spent about 600 hours of his own time annually organizing the event, which includes overseeing marketing and social media, finding sponsors, dealing with vendors, food

trucks and entertainment, and doing administration, volunteer scheduling, risk management and other duties – with the workload increasing in recent years as a result of new procedures and policies from the city. “I would certainly hope that some form (of festi-

val) could occur with the grant funding that’s been provided to close down the street,” Cote said. “I hope, regardless of what happens this year, we are able to continue to work with the Sapperton business merchants, because to me I think it is a valued festival in our community. Maybe in future years we will be in a better position to really understand how we can make that a sustainable event.” Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said the city’s contribution to the event was already “very generous” as it included a $5,000 grant and services on the day of the festival. “I am hoping more of that neighbourhood group or businesses get involved in organizing it,” he said. “It’s difficult when one person does it all…I hope they are able to continue. I know for years we would fund them and they would actually make a profit at the end.”

City approves extended work hours for noisy project Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Bosa Development will be able to work later into the evening on its Pier West project, but it won’t be doing any of the noisiest type of pile driving after 8 p.m. On Monday, city council granted Bosa an exemption from the construction noise bylaw, which will allow work to be done between 8:01 and 11 p.m. Monday to Fri-

T IS

day and 6:01 and 8 p.m. on Saturdays until April 13. Bosa is currently building an in-water perimeter shoring wall on its Pier West development site at 660 Quayside Dr. According to a staff report, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans limits work in or around water to protect fish, including their eggs, juveniles, spawning adults and/or the organisms on which they feed.

While the DFO’s timeline for work in the Fraser River estuary ends Feb. 28, Bosa has applied for an extension and hopes to work into late March. “Assuming DFO grants Bosa an extension to perform work to the end of March, Bosa will need to compact their works and schedule, including adding a full second shift of work, in order to expedite construction and complete

within the least risk fisheries window,” said the report. “Bosa has already reduced the scope of the shoring wall to reflect the time constraints.” This exemption to the city’s construction noise bylaw will allow Bosa to do pile driving using the vibratory hammering system and preparation work along the riverfront of 660 Quayside Dr. – but it won’t allow the use of the noisier

type of pile driving – impact pile driving – after 8 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on Saturdays. “This has been a real challenge for the community, as it has been for yourselves, so I appreciate that you are trying to get this done within a particular timeframe,” said Coun. Mary Trentadue. “That is quite important and crucial, but I do want to make sure that we don’t lose sight of

the impact that it does have on the community, and that the community can also rely on the information that you are providing to them and that the city is also providing.” Dan Diebolt, Bosa Development’s vice-president of development, said the company hasn’t received any feedback that vibratory hammering is a problem.

Opinion OUR VIEW

NEB chose cold, hard cash over the environment

Raise your hand if you actually thought the National Energy Board would go against the Trans Mountain project. Hmmm, not seeing any hands raised. Now is it because you think the pipeline expansion project is such an obvious slam dunk that the NEB would have no choice but to support it, or because the energy agency is just a puppet for the federal government and was going through the motions? We choose to believe the latter.We don’t believe the

NEB ever truly considered not supporting the project during the court-mandated “reconsideration” process during the past few months. That seemed pretty clear based on the last NEB assessment of Trans Mountain.The Federal Court of Appeal had harsh words for the NEB over its handling of the review. The court ruling savaged the NEB, saying a “critical error” was made in regards to the lack of consideration of tanker traffic in waters around Burnaby and Vancouver, and beyond.

“The unjustified exclusion of marine shipping from the scope of the project led to successive, unacceptable deficiencies in the [NEB’s] report and recommendations,” said the court. The NEB has long been viewed as an organization heavily biased towards the energy sector and its reconsideration report on Friday did nothing to dissuade anyone from that view. Take the NEB’s statement that the project was in the “Canadian public interest.”What they really mean is in the “business interest”

because they ignored the environmental impacts and highlighted only economic benefits. “The Reconsideration report concludes that Project-related marine shipping is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects on the Southern resident killer whale and on Indigenous cultural use associated with the Southern resident killer whale,” read the NEB’s statement. “The NEB also found that greenhouse gas emissions from Project-related marine vessels would likely be signifi-

cant.” Gee, those things sound pretty serious. Isn’t Canada trying to fight climate change? “While these effects weighed heavily in the NEB’s consideration of Project-related marine shipping, the NEB recommends that the Government of Canada find that they can be justified in the circumstances, in light of the considerable benefits of the Project and measures to minimize the effects,” said the NEB’s statement. And by benefits, they

mean financial benefits, such as access to “diverse markets” for Canadian oil and jobs. Of course, not everyone agrees that the potential benefits are as big for Canada as predicted. And financial benefits don’t mean much if the planet continues on its downward environmental slide, or if there’s a ginormous oil spill. So, basically, the NEB chose money over the environment, which is the kind of thinking that got our planet into this mess in the first place.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Minister builds up rainy-day fund

Do not let what appears to be a relatively small budget surplus fool you: Finance Minister Carole James has socked more than a billion dollars away. On paper, last week’s provincial budget projects a tiny $274-million surplus in a budget that forecasts spending at more than $58.3 billion.That surplus represents less than one half of one per cent of total spending, so there does not look like much room for error. Oh, but there is. James has prudently built into the budget an unusually high contingency fund of $750 million. On top of that is a “forecast allowance” of $500 million. Add it to the surplus figure and it shows James has $1.5 billion of unallocated spending, ready to be used if disaster strikes. Then there is the question attached to every provincial budget: are the revenue forecasts set deliberately lower than the dollars that are really expected to flow into the provincial treasury? If revenues do indeed exceed the expectations set out in the budget, the surplus grows and grows throughout the year with the publication of quarterly financial reports.This makes whoever happens to be the finance minister look like a fiscal wizard. For example, the 201819 budget underestimated personal and corporation income tax revenue by a whopping $2.5 billion. Overall, revenues were $2.4 billion higher than originally forecast. Some expenditures were higher than usual, but the

surplus (after accounting for the forecast allowance and a decision to deliberately spend some of the surplus at the end of the current fiscal year) still came in at more than $1 billion.The budget, when it was tabled last year, forecast a surplus of just $219 million. This prudent rainy-day fund approach is not confined to just the next fiscal year. It is incorporated into the government’s threeyear fiscal plan, to the tune of $2.3 billion on top of the coming year’s $1.5 in unallocated spending. Even with the risks every finance minister faces – such as wildfires – James has built enough fiscal resilience into her plan to weather pretty much any storm, at least in the short term. She has also shown a willingness to do something that her BC Liberal predecessors failed to do – spend some of that budget surplus on people, instead of just applying it all to government debt. She earmarked $375 million out of this year’s surplus (it has to be spent by March 31) and she plans to sprinkle most of it around various local governments, primarily for small infrastructure and research projects. It is another reminder of a big reason why the BC Liberals lost the last election. They ended that fiscal year with a surplus of $2 billion, yet did not spent a single extra cent on anyone as election day approached. James is not going to make the same mistake. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Downtown called ‘neglected’ Expert heritage redeveloper Michael Williams didn’t spare the feelings of the heritage advisory committee or the Downtown New Westminster Association when they asked him for tips to revitalize New West’s downtown. After looking around, he said it was “one of the most depressing, neglected places” he’d been to in his life. He predicted it would be “a crime-ridden slum in 20 to 30 years.” He said the city should place an immediate moratorium on all development downtown and hold a competition between architects for a theme and guidelines for restoration and infill buildings. City officials admitted New West had no such guidelines.

Too many changes to the Brewery District Editor: Re: Brewery District looking to ‘unlock’ last building at New West site, Record online, Feb. 19 Ryan Thé, Wesgroup’s vice-president of development, says, “I truly think the proposal has a benefit for everyone.” I would like to know how long Mr. Thé has been involved in this project. The Brewery District development has changed significantly since its inception. The heights of the residential buildings have increased dramatically since the project was first proposed. Office, commercial and professional floor space ratio have already been transferred to the strata and market rental towers. The residents of Sapperton have continuously voiced their opposition to the developer and to city hall regarding the constant changes to the development. I oppose any further changes to the developer’s plans regarding the Brewery District unless approved by the McBride-Sapperton Residents’ Association. Andrew Kroll, New Westminster

Rules will ruin rentals Editor: I see that the mayor and his band of spend-thrift acolytes (Team Cote) are at it again. Superfluous “art” and the subsidy-sucking ferry service weren’t enough; now they want to dissuade residential housing development under the guise of “protecting renters.” As I understand the latest edict – if a land-

lord wants to make improvements to a rental property, he (or she) must find new accommodations for the tenant and then can’t raise the rent to pay for these improvements. If that’s the case, why would the landlord even bother to make any improvements? My warning to renters is “be careful of what you ask for.” When the place starts falling apart and/or requires major work that possibly some earlier preventative work could have prevented, don’t come whining to the council about the poor, decrepit housing conditions. Remember that you, the renter, with your heroes’ “pioneering legislation,” brought it on yourself. I’d hate to be a landlord or developer in New Westminster. Rick Johnson, New Westminster

Timeline short to say ‘no’ Editor: Re: New Westminster proceeds with plan to borrow $30 million, Record, Feb. 14 The loan bylaw is only giving the public from Feb. 11 to March 11, approximately 30 days, to respond by signing and delivering to city hall the “opposed” form. I feel the people who can afford to build, buy and develop “extreme profit” (developments) should be paying for the $30-million electrical upgrades. City hall said the three-year plan of tax increases was for upgrades to all public utility services. Now a $30-million trap, it seems, is the way it’s being proposed and speeded along.

City SCHOOLS

Seismic upgrades on time Cayley Dobie

cdobie@newwestrecord.ca

Construction on one of NewWestminster’s oldest schools is continuing on time and on budget, according to the school district. Last March, the New Westminster school district received $6.1 million to conduct seismic upgrades on École Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary school.The original part of the 83-year-old

building and the gymnasium had been deemed an H2 seismic risk, meaning there was a strong chance of widespread damage or structural failure in the event of an earthquake and the building would likely not be repairable.The project went to tender last spring. By June, preparation had begun at the site. Earlier this month, district staff provided an update on the status of the

project, which is expected to be completed by the fall of 2020. “It’s going well and on schedule,” secretary-treasurer Kim Morris told trustees at the Feb. 12 operations policy and planning committee meeting. Unitech, the company doing the work, demolished four classrooms and reopened four fully renovated and seismically safe rooms before the winter break.

New residents’ association formed Theresa McManus tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A new residents’ association is getting underway in New Westminster. The Victoria Hill/Ginger Drive Residents’ Association is hosting its founding meeting on March 7 at 7 p.m. in the Carpentry Hall at 245 Francis Way. A notice about the meeting urges anyone with concerns about potential impacts of the Pattullo Bridge replacement project or the Canada Games Pool

replacement, future development in Victoria Hill, traffic, safety, parking, bus services, maintenance of parks, open spaces and ravines, and any other issues affecting the neighbourhood’s quality of life to attend. Mayor Jonathan Cote is the guest at the inaugural meeting.The draft constitution and bylaws can be viewed at http://bit.ly/VH GDdocs. The annual membership fee is $5 per resident or business owner. Attendance

is free, but only members can vote. Anyone interested in being on the board of director should email VHillRA@ gmail.com by midnight on March 4 and include your name, building you live in (or civic address) and phone number. It’s expected board members will have to commit about four hours a month to the board, with one general meeting held every other month and one committee meeting monthly.

Construction Notice - 660 Quayside Drive Please be aware that we will be working extended hours from February 26th – April 13th 2019 to complete in-water piling works.

Community Queensborough temple celebrates centennial Community invited to join in the festivities for the Gurdwara Sahib Sukh Sagar’s 100th anniversary Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

A four-day celebration of the Gurdwara Sahib Sukh Sagar aims to bring the community closer together. The Khalsa Diwan Society NewWestminster is inviting community members to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Gurdwara Sahib Sukh Sagar in Queensborough. Since opening in 1919, the temple has become an integral part of the Queensborough and New Westminster communities and has provided a place for

That’s all part of it – learning about each other Sikhs from NewWestminster and the Lower Mainland to gather and to worship. “It is starting up on Thursday, and it will be four days, with the main event on Sunday. It’s open to anyone within the community – in Queensborough and in NewWest. It’s to show support, learn about each other and the heritage,” said Jag Sall, a member of the committee that’s organizing the celebration. “I don’t think a lot of people know that the Sikh community has been in Queensborough for over 100 years, and/or the gurdwara itself has been there that long. Not just the Sikh community, but other communities in Queensborough have been living there for a

century.” While the gurdwara opens daily to serve meals, many people have never been inside the building at 347 Wood St.The anniversary celebration, which begins on Thursday, Feb. 28 at 6 p.m. and ends with a plaque-unveiling ceremony on Sunday, March 3 at noon, gives community members a chance to visit the temple and see a variety of events firsthand. “There is going to be a lot of volunteers. If you have questions, they will be there to answer them,” Sall said. “There will be people there who can speak English.They will be there for the weekend if anyone has questions.That’s all part of it – learning about each other so we can realize that we are pretty much the same. We have similar outlooks on life, goals in life, wants and needs.” Music, history and spiritual programs will be held at the temple during the fourday celebration, which features a 48-hour continuous reading of the Sikh holy book starting at 9 a.m. Friday and continuing until 9 a.m. on Sunday. After the closing of the reading of the book on Sunday, hymns will be sung at 10 a.m., local dignitaries will attend an official ceremony at 11 a.m. and an unveiling of a plaque commemorating the 100th anniversary will take place at noon. “During the whole time there is going to be langar served – free food,” Sall added. “It is always being served throughout all the

After several renovations to the original temple, the society purchased two lots onWood Street and built a larger temple.

Women onWednesday and the Glamoramas are teaming up to organize Claiming Our Time Theresa McManus

tmcmanus@newwestrecord.ca

Women will be claiming their time as part of an upcoming International Women’s Day event in New Westminster. Two local groups,Women on Wednesdays and the Glamoramas, are teaming up to organize the Claiming Our Time: #ThisIKnow event. Ruby Campbell and Kate Haberl will MC the event, which is an evolution of the Rant On Sister event that the Glamoramas held in recent years for International Women’s Day. “It’s a pleasure to provide a platform for diverse women to speak their truth and tell us what they know,” said Trudi Goels, co-organizer of the event. “This event is a fundraiser of the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers Campaign and for the Spirit of the Children.” Everyone is invited to attend the event, which features performers including Eden Fineday Patten and the women of Quayside Voices, as well as speakers and performers who will use the prompt “This I know” to structure their performances. Speakers will include

Elaine Su, Chelene Knight, Chief Rhonda Larrabee, Harman Kaur, Stephanie Allen and Micaela Evans. “I’m really looking forward to hearing the diverse perspectives from a group of accomplished and interesting women,” Coun. Mary Trentadue said in a press

I’m ready to laugh, cry and be inspired. release. “Women are often taught early in their lives to say ‘I think’, ‘I believe’ or ‘I feel’ rather than stating what we know. I’m ready to laugh, cry and be inspired.” Along with Campbell, Goels and Trentadue, Coun. Nadine Nakagawa,

Delora Harper, Carole Wyle and Helen Clarke are organizing the event. Women on Wednesdays formed in February 2018 to provide a space for women to gather and strengthen their participation in the democratic process. The Glamoramas is a local Gogos group that raises money for the Stephen Lewis Foundation’s Grandmothers campaign, which provides funds to help African grandmothers who are raising their grandchildren due to the AIDS pandemic. Claiming Our Time: #ThisIKnow is on Wednesday, March 7 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Columbia Theatre, 530 Columbia St.Tickets are $35 and available at Eventbrite.ca (search for Claiming our Time).

Community Singing for the Salish Sea Queen Elizabeth Elementary School students are singing out for the Salish Sea. The school is one of five around Southern B.C. taking part in this year’s Rock The Salish Sea! concert series. It’s the fourth year for the concert series, which features performers Holly Arntzen and Kevin Wright with the Wilds Band. Queen Elizabeth Elementary students started learning the songs in their classrooms and music classes in January and February. On March 4, Arntzen and Wright will arrive in the

school to begin a four-day artist-in-residence program, working with the students on the music and talking about ecological issues. Concert night – Thursday, March 7 – will see the students and musicians share the stage in a performance that includes original eco-rock songs about oceans and watersheds, wild Pacific salmon, climate change and a renewable energy future. The concert is at 6:45 p.m. at Bethany Baptist Church in Richmond’s Hamilton neighbourhood. “Four hundred plus stu-

dents have been practising songs for many weeks, getting ready to blow the roof off of the Bethany Baptist Church,” says a press release about the event. Bethany Baptist Church is at 22680 Westminster Hwy., Richmond.Tickets are $5, available through the school. Other schools taking part in this year’s tour are Lord Nelson in Vancouver, OldYale Elementary in Surrey,Trudeau Elementary in Vancouver and the Lau’Welnew Tribal School in Sidney.

Birthday goody bags have gotten out of control Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

When I was in my first years of parenthood, I spent months planning the birthday parties of my firstborn. I’d come up with a theme, make decorations by hand, cook up a feast for the friends and family who would attend, and invest in lavish loot bags for her friends to take home. It was exhausting and expensive.Three children later, I now do things a little differently. I lighten the invite list, I let my children choose the activity of choice and I skip the fancy fare in favour of store-bought snacks. But one thing that I still haven’t been able to shake is those senseless goody bags. Every year I select a bag full of swag to give as a parting gift to each party guest, and every year, I’m left wondering if it’s even worthwhile. Isn’t the purpose of a birthday party to celebrate someone else? Why are we working so hard to please the guests, when the purpose is to celebrate the guest of honour? We as a society have trained our kids to believe that they should be rewarded for every action that they make, and by doing so, we are failing our children. Giving out treat bags at the end of a child’s birthday party is like giving every participant the same ribbon on sports day, or giving every child the same grade – regardless of their efforts.

We’ve become so concerned with “everyone should be treated equally” that we’ve disallowed anyone to enjoy a moment in the spotlight – even at their own birthday party. What was originally meant to be a gesture of appreciation, has become an overly extravagant expectation, and it’s taking away from the true purpose of the party.

It’s taking away from the true purpose … My favourite parties are those that involve the guests making a special craft that they can take home as a keepsake.The sacs of spontaneous dollar store items can be costly and wasteful, and few parents enjoy giving or receiving such loot. A lot of effort, energy and expense goes into planning

the gift of giving instead of the thrill of getting, our kids would be better off – and so would we. Find Bianca on Twitter @biancabujan and Instagram at @bitsofbee.

a party, and I’m so grateful when my child is invited to participate in a fun activity to fete their friends. If it were up to me, we’d do away with loot bags altogether and end the party with a thank you and a wave goodbye. The problem is, while many parents I know agree with the idea of tossing the treat bag tradition, no one wants to make the first move. Children have become so accustomed to accepting gifts in honour of someone else’s special day that a change could result in utter chaos. We no longer give goody bags because it’s something we enjoy, we do it because everyone else is doing it.

TONE EVERY ZONE

The first thing you should know about me is that, unlike many other trainers, I was not always fit. I am not a former athlete and I didn’t play sports all my life. In fact, I only started becoming more active after I had my daughter, 6 years ago. As a result, I understand what it’s like to be a beginner, and my approach to fitness is a bit different than that of other trainers: there are no crazy drills, or bootcamp-like circuits in my sessions. There is no yelling, or pushing someone until their breaking point. Instead, I see fitness as a component of life that needs to be brought into one’s world in a sustainable and pleasant manner. I also believe fitness needs to have a purpose and contribute to something greater. I approach my sessions with the understanding that things will never be perfect, that doing your best is good enough, and that each day presents an opportunity to make different choices. I motivate and push my clients through empathy and kindness. I have been proudly serving our community of New West for just over 3 years through my mobile personal training company, Tone Every Zone. I work with people in their homes or building gyms, and we even take our sessions outside sometimes! I bring my background in Science and Project Management to my personal training practice, so I approach things methodically, with curiosity and sometimes even skepticism - which is crucial considering the many health & wellness fads out there! I believe in science. I love to learn, and bring that back to my clients so they learn too! Over the years I’ve found that I resonate the most with women in their 50s or 60s – in fact I’ve been called an “old soul” on more than one occasion. So, if you are in this category and have been thinking about bringing fitness into your life, give me a holler and let’s see how we can work together.

How to deal with hyperpigmentation?

Most people will have hyperpigmentation on their skin by the time they reach their 30’s, this skin issue is very stubborn to treat but can be managed with the right skincare. KATIE MARSHALL Hyperpigmentation is a darkening of the skin due to an overproduction of melanin from skin cells called melanocytes. It can be brought on by various injuries to the skin, sundamage, trauma, hormones and inﬂammation. The excessive melanin produced gets dumped into the deeper levels of your skin, causing hyperpigmentation. These spots, when further exposed to sunlight, will ﬂare up and worsen over time. Make sure your skincare products have tyrosinase inhibiting ingredients such as Azelaic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Mulberry Extract and Sepi-White to name a few. There are three key things people who suffer from hyperpigmentation need to remember: patience, diligence and realistic expectations.

First trimester nausea (aka morning sickness) is very common, and can be a sign of a viable pregnancy (although if you don’t feel it, it DR. STEPHANIE PELTZ, ND doesn’t mean there’s a problem). It varies in severity from feeling slightly ill, to frequent vomiting lasting throughout pregnancy. For mild cases, try these tips. Nausea is connected to blood sugar levels so eat small frequent meals and avoid letting your stomach get empty. Protein will help, as will dry, crunchy foods like crackers (even left on the bedside for night-time wakeups). It’s also best to avoid spicy and oily foods. Ginger root tea is safe and effective for nausea, as is optimizing iron and B vitamin levels (particularly B6). Lastly, clinically, I see women with high stress, suffering from worse morning sickness, so be aware. NB: If none of these tips help, or if your nausea is more severe, speak to a professional.

A couple of wrestlers will soon be sinking their teeth into some mighty big burgers at Burger Heaven. As part of Rumble Month in New Westminster, Burger Heaven is serving up two special burgers – the Rumble Burger and the Royal City Defender.They’re on the menu in March for Rumble Month, which features a series of events planned by Royal City Wrestling every Saturday at Royal City Centre mall and the Royal City Rumble event on Saturday, March 30. “We are looking at doing a couple of spicy burgers for them,” said Burger Heaven general manager Chris Geib. “One is going to be a beef and one is going to be a veggie.” In addition to the March 30 wrestling action (including a 20-person Royal City Rumble and a match featuring Mayor Jonathan Cote), Rumble variety show events are taking place on Saturdays from 1 to 2 p.m. in a wrestling ring in Royal City Centre.The shows will include segments like New West Has Talent, Ask the Expert and What’s Happening in New West. After the March 9 event, The Volcano and Big Dad-

dy Buck will head to Burger Heaven to compete in a burger-eating contest. “They are going to have an Ernie’s’ Mile High competition to see who can eat fastest.We are going to be doing a special burger just for those two – 10 patties,” Geib said. “Our standard Ernie’s is eight patties, which is three-and-a-half pounds of meat, so now we are looking at 10 patties, which is probably four-anda-quarter pounds of meat.” Burger Heaven sells an average of two or three of the Ernie’s Mile High burgers each week, but not everyone is able to finish the burger. Every January, people who had the top four times for completing the burger between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31 from the previous year return to the restaurant to

compete for the prizes. New West resident Rish Koya (aka Mr. India) founded Royal City Wrestling as a way of building community through various events, including wrestling. Burger Heaven was sold on the idea of taking part in Rumble Month, as Koya’s vision is to show people they don’t have to leave New Westminster to get good food, good products and good services in the city. The restaurant, located at 77 10th St., recently unveiled its new Burger Heaven app, which enables customers to collect rewards points for purchases, and receive free items such as milkshakes and meals as points are accumulated.

New Westminster has made its way to the Himalayas. Paul Sanders, owner of the barbershop that’s located in Westminster Centre, is proudly displaying a photograph of longtime Hub customer Ivan Tuura at the Mount Everest base camp. In the photo, the longtime New West resident is wearing a Salmonbellies hat and holding a scarf on which he’s written The Hub. “He wanted to do this thing for us,” Sanders told the Record. Tuura recently returned from Nepal, where he hiked to the Mount Everest base camp with a company operated by fellow New West resident Eoin White. “They have prayer flags. People write little messages and go up into the Himalayas and send them off,”Tuura said. “Also, the people give you these scarves – they are like a greeting scarf.” Tuura was going to write The Hub on a piece of paper and take a photo with Mount Everest in the background “just for the fun of it,” when White suggested he use the scarf. “I have been going there for 40 years to get my hair cut. Eoin said, ‘How about writing it on one of these scarves, it will look a little more classy.’ He went to the Hub for years too,”Tuura said. “We wrote it on there. Paul got a real kick that we thought about him way up

there.” The Hub has been in

business in New Westminster since 1955.

When the doors opened at 10 a.m., clients were already waiting outside the business at 445 Columbia St., with word of the flash sale having been spread through Instagram, Facebook and word of mouth. “It was a big mixed bag. We had a lot of returning faces but then we had a lot of new people that came in and said they’d never been to a tattoo shop before and they were doing it to support the fundraiser,” MacKenzie said. “We had a

good handful of people that were saying, ‘this is our first tattoo and we are doing it for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.’” Happy Buddha Tattoo was thrilled with the response to the recent sale and expects to offer more flash sale fundraisers in the future. “I think it’s probably going to happen every few months or so,” MacKenzie said. “We are going to think of something, probably around holiday times and somewhere to donate.”

of an intriguing visual plot,” the statement says. “The experience can evoke the sense of participation in an improvisational play, or venturing into the shifting patterns of jazz or classical music.” Turok, meanwhile, works in clay, her main medium for the creation of both functional and decorative pottery. She enjoys handbuilding and throwing pots for burnishing and sawdust firing by hot smoke. She

also creates sculptures that she calls My Vancouver. “Every vessel undergoes a long process of creation, which involves the four elements: fire, water, air and earth,” says an artist statement. The Gallery at Queen’s Park is in Centennial Lodge. It’s open Wednesdays from 1 to 8 p.m., and Thursdays through Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m. See www.acnw.ca or call 604-525-3244 for information.

Hyacks fate leads to South showdown NewWest drawn into league playoff rematch

Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

By the time you pick up this paper, the New Westminster Hyacks will have secured either a headline for one of the biggest upsets of the season, or signed off for 2019. The senior boys basketball team was due to meet archrival Burnaby South on Wednesday evening, past the Record’s deadline, in a must-win game at the Lower Mainland 4-A championships in Richmond. A rematch of the Burnaby-New West league playoff final, this re-enactment was not suppose to happen – at least not this early. But by using an ineligible player in their opening game at the tourney knocked the Rebels from the final four and into the consolation bracket. It’s a challenge that Hyacks coach Ted Cusick said will be the ultimate test. “This is a season-ender for one team,” he noted of the do-or-die match. “We go in there with nothing to lose and a lot of people cheering for us.” Had Burnaby South not been stripped of their original win, New West would have faced a less imposing opponent in Killarney. The Hyacks have already bounced back from their first loss of the tourney, topping Burnaby Central 98-81 last Friday to stave off elimination. Luke Burton led New West with 27 points, while Gavin Bhullar counted 14 points and 11 rebounds. Mo Al-Ghreibawi contributed 16 points and Kirk Bothwell added 10. The winner of Wednesday’s battle would go on to play today (Thursday), 8 p.m. against the loser of the Kitsilano-St. George’s semifinal. All games are at the Richmond Oval.

Hyack duo grab medals For Willow Bayea and Daniel Dordevic, the spoils of their efforts came out as bronze. The two New Westminster Secondary athletes advanced to the final four at the B.C.Wrestling championships last week, emerging with their division’s respective third-place results. Bayea finished third in the girls 90-kilogram division, while Dordevic placed third in the boys 130kg category.

Royals look to reap hoop rewards Douglas College men aim to be last team standing in PacWest championships Dan Olson

dolson@newwestrecord.ca

As amazing as last year’s run was, it isn’t quite the motivation most people would expect as the Douglas College Royals men’s basketball team prepares for this weekend’s PacWest playoffs. A Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association finalist, Douglas coach Joe Enevoldson wouldn’t mind dredging some of motivational memories. Unfortunately, this year’s team has earned its stripes almost completely without any boost from last year, having turned over nearly 80 per cent of the roster. That makes this year’s defence of the B.C. title a different kind of challenge, Enevoldson said. “I believe our biggest test was coming off last year’s incredible performance, with how it ended and all the turnover,” the coach

noted. “We almost have a brand new team, with 10 new personalities who process the game 10 new ways.” The three returnees are able to reflect on last year’s mercurial rise – and emotional plunge with the 86-73 loss to Seneca in the national final. What the team has achieved this go around is something organic and transformational, but one that has required some molding. With New West native Sylvester Appiah the lone fifth-year player in the lineup, and eight players with one-or-two year experience at the college level – majority being transfers from other programs – experience is open to interpretation. But Enevoldson expects this team’s combined strengths to give them a shot at repeating. “Whenever you have that much turnover you never know

what you’re going to get, but (the season) has gone well to date.” The Royals enter the playoffs as the No. 2 seed with a 12-6 record. Only Vancouver Island University, at 16-2, rate better, and both teams have a bye to Friday’s semifinals (3 p.m. for Douglas) at the New West campus. Since mid-January the team has enjoyed a 7-2 run, displaying strong chemistry that conceals the lack of returnees. That could be because those leadership intangibles mostly expected from returnees are being exhibited by many of the firstyear core. Forward Courtney Anderson is one of those newcomers, who has made an impressive transition coming in from Clark College of Vancouver,Wash.The five-foot-10 guard has led the team in scoring, averaging 18.8

points per game, and nearly six rebounds. Six-foot-10 Bollo Gnahore, meanwhile, fell into the team’s lap just seven weeks ago, following a long route that took him from his native Ivory Coast thru North Carolina and New Mexico to New Westminster. He’s produced 13 points, 8.5 rebounds and three blocks per game, all while acclimatizing himself to the Canadian winter. That’s only part of the Douglas picture, but gives a hint at what the team has. “My sole purpose coming (to coach Douglas) was to compete and win these medal games,” said Enevoldson. “I don’t think we have to mirror that miracle run of last year, but we have to expect to be the ones hoisting that banner come Saturday night.” The PacWest basketball Continued on page 29

VOLLEYBALL

Royals rousted by Mariners

They failed to repeat but at least garnered some ammunition to carry with them to the nationals. The Douglas College Royals women’s volleyball team were no match for the Vancouver Island Mariners, who registered a record 17th PacWest B.C. title with a clean, 3-0 sweep of Douglas last Saturday. The Mariners dominated the first set 25-11, then fended off the Royals challenges in the second and third sets (25-16 and 25-17) to cart off the league playoff title. On one hand, if it follows last year’s result, the B.C. runnerups will have a chance to flip their fate at the nationals, as both teams advance. In the provincial final, the Mariners’ Danielle Groenendijk was named player of the match after compiling 12 kills, six digs and a block. The Royals were led offensively by Caet McCorkell,

who racked up six kills, and Vania Oliveira, with five kills, 10 digs and two blocks. In the semifinal, the New West-based squad topped Camosun 3-1 (18-25, 25-21, 25-18, 25-23). McCorkell counted 11 kills and Emma Schill added 10 kills and nine digs, to pace the Royals. Chipping in with 19 digs was Trisha He. Both McCorkell and Oliveira were named to the all-star team. Since 1978 the Royals have finished second 10 times, including two of the last three years. The Mariners and Royals, who were ranked first and third in the final national rankings, now advance to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association’s national championships in Welland, Ont. Douglas will open the tourney, which runs March 7 to 9, against the Fanshawe Falcons.

Royals host B.C.s

Continued from page 28 championships feature the top six teams of both the men’s and women’s leagues. Thursday’s men’s quarterfinals feature Capilano against Okanagan, followed by Langara, this year’s CCAA men’s championship hosts, up against Camosun. The semifinals proceed Friday, at 3 p.m.

(Douglas vs. the Cap/OK winner) and 8 p.m. (VIU vs. either Langara or Camosun). The championship final hits the floor Saturday at 8 p.m. On the women’s side, the Royals are seeded fourth and play in today’s quarterfinal against Langara at 5:30 p.m. Schedules for both are on www.pacwestbc.ca.

TRINITI LASER & MEDI SPA

oing to the spa can be a great way to destress while rejuvenating your mind, body, and skin. But what spa should you choose? You might think a traditional spa and a medical spa are quite similar, but actually they are very different. While both can offer anti-aging, laser hair removal, facials, permanent makeup, reflexology and other treatments, a medical spa is a combination of a specialized hybrid between a day spa and a medical skin care clinic that operates under the supervision of a medical director. Although you will still get pampered, a medical spa focuses on providing medical-grade treatments to correct a variety of skin conditions including: lines and wrinkles, pigmentation issues, acne, redness, volume loss, and broken capillaries, as well as body contouring, laser hair removal, permanent makeup, reflexology and more. “A day spa usually employs aestheticians, whereas a medical spa features more advanced skin care technicians and uses only medical grade products not available at day spas,” says medical aesthetician Tahora Eslahian, who along with Tina Ruggiero, own New Westminster’s award-winning Triniti Laser Clinic and Medi Spa. Eslahian explains that products you can buy in stores are typically 95 per cent fillers, while products from a spa will be 30 to 40 per cent fillers. “Medical spa products have no fillers,” says Eslahian, who adds Triniti features two lines, including ZO® Medical Therapeutic Solutions Products. “Medical spa products contain between 90 to 95 per cent

active ingredients and are created under a physician.” When it comes to getting rid of unwanted fat, CoolSculpting has been extremely popular since first introduced in 2010. This non-surgical body sculpting procedure targets stubborn pockets of fat that are typically resistant to a healthy diet and regular exercise. “We are born with a certain amount of fat cells, and as we age they get larger,” notes Eslahian, who says right now Triniti is offering buy one treatment and get a second for half off. “CoolSculpting is great for those problematic areas but it is important to remember it is not a weight loss treatment.” Besides excess weight concerns, many people complain about sagging facial and neck skin. Thankfully, there is a really effective, non invasive rejuvenating treatment that boosts collagen and can reserve the signs of aging. It’s called Sublime Skin Tightening. “Using radio frequency and infrared technology, the treatment heats the dermis and stimulate collagen production,’ explains Eslahian. The number of sessions required to see the best results can vary depending on the person and their skin condition, however, optimal results are often seen after three to five sessions. “Results are gradual and cumulative,” says Eslahian, who holds a Bachelor of Science degree, comes with more than two decades of experience, and is a clinical trainer across North America. “It is like a time machine, bringing your skin back five years or more.” Who can ask for more than that? Triniti Laser Clinic and Medi Spa offers free skin analysis as well as consultations. For more information, visit www.trinitilaser.com.
