ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

City underestimates overpass costsThe City of New Westminster is re-

evaluating plans for access to WestminsterPier Park after getting a big surprise whenbids started to roll in to city hall.

The city had posted a call for bids on itswebsite for the construction of a cantile-

vered pedestrian overpass from the edgeof Westminster Pier Park to the Front StreetParkade, with the structure to align withFourth Street. The tender process has beencancelled.

We put it out to tender. When the ten-ders came back, they exceeded our budgetamount, said Roger Emanuels, the citysmanager of design and construction.

The city originally budgeted $1.3 millionfor the overpass and later increased thebudget to $1.85 million.

We cancelled the tender, and we areworking with the consultant to see if wecan find ways to reduce the cost, Emanuelstold The Record. They exceeded what theengineers estimates were. We are workingon seeing what was different, why did the

number come in so high, what adjustmentscan we make or can we, to reduce the costand re-tender the project.

Currently, the park is only accessiblevia a parking lot at the west side of theriverfront site. If access was provided to thepark via Fourth Street, it would take park-goers into the area where the concession,

Environmentalists from Montana toNew Westminster are calling for a shovelto boiler impact study for coal shipments,including the Surrey Fraser Docks pro-posed coal terminal.

And theyve expressed skepticism ofan environmental assessment of the FraserSurrey Docks being carried out by SNCLavalin that is to be finished by the end ofthe month.

With just two weeks, I dont see howthey can get the baseline data they need toassess the impacts on wildlife and waterquality, said Michael Scott of the Montanachapter of the Sierra Club.

The Surrey Fraser Docks proposalwould see a coal transfer station built onthe Surrey-Delta border that would handlebetween four million and eight millionmetric tonnes of coal per year.

Roadwork on Royal Avenue iswrapping up in record time eventhough it may not feel that way tomotorists.

Construction crews got to workrebuilding a section of RoyalAvenue on Aug. 26.

One of the problems we haveis as traffic volumes grow andthe types of vehicles grow inweights, like heavy trucks, dete-rioration goes faster, said RogerEmanuels, the citys coordinator ofdesign and construction. Roadsthat were built 50 years ago cantwithstand the weights. So insteadof just repaving them, we have togo down and rebuild the substruc-ture. That is what we are doing onRoyal Avenue basically rebuild-ing the substructure so that we canget longevity out of the roadway.

Royal Avenue is being rebuiltbetween Granville and Fourthstreets. If the weather cooperates,the project is expected to wrap upin a week.

When doing road construction,crews often work between certainhours and then stop work duringrush hour. In an effort to expe-dite the project, road closures havebeen announced and the roadworkhas continued through rush hoursand on weekends.

One of the benefits is it will bedone in half the time then it wouldif you were trying to work aroundtraffic, he said.

The City of New Westminster

has received fewer complaintsabout the road closures then it hadanticipated.

A lot of times we try and workwith the contractors between 9a.m. and 3 p.m., and outside rushhours and things like that. One ofthe things we are doing now is weare giving motorists a lot of notice

and saying, Expect closures, bigdelays. We are letting the contrac-tor close down a section of road-way because it improves produc-tivity. It is safer for workers andeven motorists because they areless frustrated, Emanuels said.If you know there is going to beroadwork in that area you can plan

around it or avoid it.The work thats taking place

from Fourth Street to the on-rampof the Pattullo Bridge is being doneby Winvan Paving Ltd.

Its amazing its held up aswell as it did, he said of the con-struction methods used 50 yearsago.

If you build it: Construction crews have been working on rebuilding a sec-tion of Royal Avenue since Aug. 26.

For a video,scan with

washrooms and viewing area arelocated.

We would still prefer to haveFourth Street as a crossing loca-tion, Emanuels said. When weoriginally got to that locationit was because of the circula-tion through the park. It got youdown to the east end of the park.If you were walking throughthe park, you werent doublingback.

Accessing the park near SixthStreet would bring parkgoerscloser to the current entrance tothe park, which is accessible onlyfrom the Larco site. That site,located between WestminsterPier Park and River Market, cur-rently consists of a parking lot.

Mayor Wayne Wright told The

Record earlier this week that thecity is reevaluating access to thepark as part of ongoing discus-sions with Larco, which hopes toredevelop its property.

The city is still very commit-ted to getting an access point. Itmight still be at Fourth Street.With the work we are doing withLarco, we are taking a look atSixth Street, Coun. JonathanCote told The Record. The city iseager go see that move forward.We want to make sure we havethe right location.

In June, the city announceda new vision for the Larco site,which has zoning that currentlyallows five highrises. Councildirected staff to consult withLarco on the citys desire toamend the zoning for the site

to ensure it fits with the citysvision for the waterfront.

The way it ties in with theLarco discussion is if we cantfind significant cost savings andmake it doable at the FourthStreet alignment, then theremay be an opportunity with thevisioning at the Larco propertyto do something different overin those locations that we didntconsider earlier on, Emanuelssaid.

Emanuels couldnt disclosehow much over budget the bidswere, as the project will be reten-dered. The city will be contactingeach of the bidders and question-ing them about the reason for thebids being higher than expected.

If after those conversations,which are happening right now,

we dont think that we can find asignificant cost savings, then wewill have to look at a lesser struc-ture. When it first went to councilwe talked about an iconic struc-ture. So is there a way of lighten-ing it up and reducing costs thatway, or do we look at an alternateaccess point? he said. We wentback and forth on a number ofcrossing locations when we wereevaluating the crossings.

The city preferred the FourthStreet location because anyonecoming to the park via FourthStreet was greeted by an invitingand green entry, Emanuels said.

It is a priority, he said aboutanother access point. We willtry to get this one done withinbudget, or we look at an alterna-tive.

The Record Wednesday, September 18, 2013 A03


A strike that wouldshut down schools in NewWestminster and acrossthe province could beannounced this week, if theprovince and the union rep-resenting support workersdont reach an agreement.

Marcel Marsolais, presi-dent of the Canadian Unionof Public Employees Local409, which represents NewWestminsters school sup-port staff, said his union isprepared to strike if thereisnt any movement dur-ing the most recent courseof bargaining with theprovince, which startedMonday.

We cant draw any-more lines in the sand,Marsolais told The Record.The plan of action is a full-out strike. Well shut downevery school in this prov-ince where the CUPE localhas a strike mandate.

By The Records press-time on Tuesday, the unionhadnt announced whetherthere would be a strike, andtalks between the two sideswere still ongoing.

The union would try togive caregivers as much

notice as possible if it comesto a strike, and the dura-tion of the strike would beindefinite, Marsolais said.

The unions collectiveagreements are being nego-tiated under the provincescooperative gains man-date, which means schooldistricts have to pay forany wage increases for edu-cation assistants, clerks,trades workers, bus driversand others.

But finding an esti-mated $400,000 to fundthe wage increases in NewWestminster will likelyprove challenging for thedistrict, which has a hefty$4.1-million deficit fromprevious years and had tocut approximately 60 jobs about eight per cent of itsworkforce to balance thecoming years budget.

Finding the savings tofund the wage increaseswould likely mean evenmore job cuts in NewWestminster, Marsolaissaid.

Its not going to be pret-ty, he said, adding the 37support staff positions thedistrict cut to balance thisyears budget are alreadybeing felt in local schools.

School districts are

writing letters to Minister(Peter) Fassbender sayingbasically, they cant affordto do this, and (asking)where do you want us to cutnext? Theyve cut supplybudgets. Theyve cut to thebone, and were just experi-encing it in our region, butI think small-town BritishColumbia has been experi-encing this for a long timewith declining enrolment,Marsolais said.

Last month, Fassbendertold reporters he was opti-mistic that an agreementcould be reached betweenthe province and the union.

We recognize the criti-cal role they (CUPE staff)play, and I am optimisticthat we can find a resolu-tion and there will be nodisruption, Fassbendersaid at the time. Our intentis to help every district getto a place where they canhave an agreement thatmeets the cooperative gainsmandate and that meets theoverall objective of stabilityand no walkouts.

CUPE represents about27,000 support staff acrossthe province.

DS Tactical is pleased to invite the public to an informationmeeting regarding its new expansion plan

Thursday, September 19, 20134 pm to 6 pm

atThe Heritage Hall

728 - 12th Street, New Westminster

The New Westminster school districtscontroversial business company, whichoversees a school in China, has postponedits annual general meeting to ensure lastyears audited financial statements arecompleted.

The meeting was scheduled for Sept. 23at 5 p.m. but has been tentatively movedforward a week to Sept. 30.

Chief executive officer Brent Atkinsonsaid the meeting was changed because theauditors didnt start reviewing the busi-ness companys financial statements untilthree weeks later than they have in previ-ous years. As a result, the auditors asked to

have the deadline extended.I believe, tentatively, were pushing

them to try and do it by Sept. 30, Atkinsonsaid. I tried to make it a permanent date,but the problem is theyre doing the schoolboard audit and our audit at the sametime, right, and they have to completethem both.

The meeting comes at a time whenthe districts business company faces anuncertain future in the face of provincialgovernment rules introduced earlier thisyear meant to tighten regulations aroundoperating offshore schools.

After all she managed toget re-elected after only hav-ing the B.C. legislature sit for36 days going back to May 31,2012. And now she says therewill be no fall legislature session.

We were raised in a Canada thatseemed to respect debate and publicwrangling or at least consider it an

essential part of democracy. Clearly,that has become an outdated view.

Clark obviously believes it is notonly a waste of time, or worse, a detri-ment to democracy.

Perhaps shes right.Who really needs to have

an opposition ask questions?Its not as if we dont trustpoliticians in power. After all,

would they try to raise their salaries,push mega-projects through bureau-cratic back channels, hire friends? And,even if they did try those things, the

media would catch them, wouldntthey? Surely, all those Freedom ofInformation requests piling are a finesubstitute for public accountability inthe legislature, arent they?

Unfortunately, the lack of hue andcry from the voters and the generalpublic is merely emboldening politicalleaders all across Canada. Legislaturesin many provinces have cut back sit-ting times, and theres Stephen Harpersprorogue.

Its no wonder that most folksremain sanguine about the lack of

legislature sittings. Years of name-call-ing and chest-beating debates thatappear staged have left the average cit-izen cynical. We cant blame them. Wetoo are tired of false outrage and stagedattacks.

But removing the only public forumfor political debate or questioning is,frankly, much worse than listening tothe debates. Clark should at least berevisiting MLA remuneration if sheintends to reduce their work weeks sodramatically. It would be the fiscallyresponsible thing to do.

B.C. Hydro rateincrease inevitable

Yes, your B.C. Hydro billwill soon become moreexpensive, and whyshouldnt it?

After all, most things in lifebecome more expensive overtime, and why should your elec-tricity costs be any different?

And yes, the B.C. governmentwill continue to take moneyfrom B.C. Hydro, and whyshouldnt it?

After all, the government (i.e.you and I) owns the Crown cor-poration, so why shouldnt it beable to dip into its bank account?

However, these questionsmask the real problems facingB.C. Hydro and its customers.And many of those problems canbe laid squarely at the feet of theB.C. Liberal government.

The government has beenkicking B.C. Hydro around like apolitical football for the past dec-ade, and as a result the corpora-tion is showing a lot of dentsand abrasions on its hide.

An internal document leakedto COPE 378, one of the unionsat B.C. Hydro, suggests a ratehike of 26.4 per cent over thenext two years is required tocover costs.

Those costs total about $1 bil-

lion. Heres the breakdown: $515 million for capital spend-ing, amortization and financingcosts. $160 million for rate smooth-ing, which covers the rateincrease that was supposed tooccur last year. $135 million for contracts withindependent power producers. $130 million to pay for deferredexpenses. $65 million to cover interestand operating costs.

A closer look at those num-bers shows at least half the totalamount is attributable to policiesof the B.C. Liberal government.

The makeup for a cancelledrate increase on the eve of theprovincial election, the require-ment that B.C. Hydro buy powerfrom independent power produ-cers when it didnt need it (andat higher-than-market prices)and the deferring of expenses foryears, plus the interest chargedon all that can be traced backdirectly to the government.

As well, some critics claimat least part of B.C. Hydrosmassive capital spending planis not needed or has not beenadequately explained anddefended by the corporation orthe government.

For example, the $1-billionsmart meter installation programhas never been scrutinized bythe B.C. Utilities Commissionbecause the B.C. Liberals ruled itwas exempt from such scrutiny.

In fact, much of what B.C.

OUR VIEWTHE RECORD

Lancers dance optics creepyDear Editor:

Re: Residents want to keep dance, Letters to theeditor, The Record, Sept. 11.

I was just reading the extensive letter by LisaGraham outlining why the May Day dance is atradition and why people that want to end it haveulterior motives. The second point seems to suggestthat our high taxes could be lowered if we werentdistracted by this issue.

Lisa even suggests that teachers that dont fullyendorse May Day should leave town.

Lisas letter seems to miss the key point of theissue. The optics of mature gentlemen dancingwith elementary school girls is creepy.

Im not suggesting that these respectable men arecreeps. It just looks bad. These fatherly men arestrangers, and I dont expect that many of the girls

today are orphans. If the girls faces absolutely glowwith happiness, I think it has more to do with thefact that it is their moment and they are the centreof attention, and less to do with the fact that they aredancing with a man 40 years older than them.

I would suggest that they dance with their RoyalKnights instead.

Public hydro hearings neededDear Editor:

Since 2002, successive Liberal governments havegradually turned B.C. Hydro into a holding tank ofpublic debt. It has reached the point that the Clarkgovernment doesnt dare permit the B.C. UtilitiesCommission (or, for that matter, any other independ-ent institution) anywhere near B.C. Hydro. To do so

would be to invite public scrutiny of adecade of debt caused by unprecedentedpolitical interference in the financial affairsof a public utility.

It was just a little over a year ago sincethe Liberals intervened when the utilitiescommission decided to hold two weeksof public hearings regarding a proposedthree-year 30 per cent hydro rate increase.

Knowing a public hearing would verylikely expose the extent of governmentintervention in the utilitys finances, min-ister of the day Rich Coleman directedthe commission to negotiate an increasewithout hearings.

When the commission balked, theClark government arbitrarily ordered itto approve an increase of 17 per cent overthree years.

Get ready for an instant replay.According to information revealed lastweek, starting in 2014 B.C. Hydro says itneeds a rate increase of 41.5 per cent over

the next six years.Newbie Minister Bill Bennett is already

signalling the governments intention toonce again sideline the utilities commissionand, not so coincidentally, avoid any pub-lic hearing. His attempt to spin this moveby asserting the commission would beunable to recommend a rate increase thatwould make the people of B.C. happy isnothing more than an exercise in politicaldeceit.

None of us doubts there will be a rateincrease. Bennett is preparing us for thatinevitability, just as he is not-so-subtlyindicating it will not be as much as B.C.Hydro says it needs.

He is expecting, of course, that manyof us will be relieved (but not necessarilyhappy, I suspect) that its less. And theLiberal government will have once againdodged the bullet.

But the government cant delay theinevitable forever. Just as sure as hydrorates will continue to rise, the day of reck-oning cannot be held off forever.

Hydro has or hasnt doneover the past decade hasoccurred without anyexternal scrutiny, and thatpartly explains why themess the corporation is intoday is sobad.

Problemsflagged yearsago (puttingoff paying forexpenses, andsigning morethan $50 bil-lion of dubiouscontracts withIPPs) havebeen allowedto mushroomin size, and theresult is theinevitable kickin the teeth tothe ratepayer.

B.C. Hydrorates shouldhave beenallowed toincrease grad-ually over aperiod of time,rather thanall at once.Instead, political consider-ations have prevented thatfrom occurring.

During the B.C. Liberal

party leadership, thereporters participatingin the televised leadersdebate (I was one of them,along with Vaughn Palmerof The Vancouver Sun andJustine Hunter of The Globe

and Mail) delib-erately chosehydro rates asone of the ques-tions.

At that time,B.C. Hydro hadalready saidit required arate increase ofmore than 25per cent, andall of the can-didates dodgedthe question ofwhether theyagreed it wasinevitable hydrorates had to beincreased (to befair, the NDPalso dodged thesame questionin the run-upto the electioncampaign).

And thenwith an elec-

tion looming after that,the government again putoff what had to be donebecause it didnt want to

rile a public it was court-ing for vote support.

But now the day ofreckoning is at hand.However, more politicalmeddling will take placebefore the size of the actualrate hike is arrived at.

That leaked docu-ment says B.C. Hydrosfinancial problems can beanswered by three ways:a rate increase, even moredeferred expenses, or asmall payment to the gov-ernment.

I suspect the end resultwill be a combination ofall three, or perhaps two(the government is likelyloathe to take less moneyat a time when its desper-ately trying to balance itsbudget).

But the best thingwould be to send thewhole mess to the B.C.Utilities Commission tosort out.

The B.C. Liberals dontlike external scrutiny(hello, cancelled fall legis-lature sitting), but in thiscase it might just saveeveryone some money.

The coal will be mined in the Powder River Basin,straddling the Montana-Wyoming border, and shippedby rail cars to barges at the proposed $15-million SurreyFraser Docks facility. It would ultimately be sent to mar-kets in China.

After boisterous public hearings on the proposal, PortMetro Vancouver ordered the company to do an envi-ronmental assessment of the project.

Local environmentalists have criticized the study asbeing limited in scope.

And Scott said any reviewof the environmental impact ofmining and shipping of coalshould be international inscope.

We need a shovel-to-boilerassessment of the environmen-tal impacts of these kinds ofprojects, said Scott. Theresno question that its going tohave a major impact on com-munities all along the line.

Mined in Montana andWyoming, the thermal coalwould be shipped north on theBurlington Northern Santa Ferail line. The trains would con-

tain up to 135 cars and stretch over 2.3 kilometres long.Scott said environmental hearings were starting

Tuesday in Montana and elsewhere in the United Statesin a process that may take two years.

The tight time frame of the assessment being conduct-ed by SNC Lavalin for Surrey Fraser Docks is not lost onDogwood Initiative coal campaigner Laura Benson.

Given the length of time, it doesnt appear theyintend to look at any new data, said Benson. Really,this whole issue should be looked at in a larger scopeand across borders.

New Westminster activist James Crosty said once theassessment is completed, the public will get a chance tocomment on the findings.

Im hopeful that the people will be listened to, hesaid.

Fraser Surrey Docks CEO Jeff Scott is on record assaying that his firm is doing everything it can to ensurea safe project. The company says the project will createjobs and boost the local economy.

New Westminster is going to have a tte--tte with groups that put on some of thecitys festivals.

City council has asked staff to developa process that allows the city to meet withorganizers of major festivals.

Staff recently presented council witha proposed consultation pro-cess that would include presen-tations from the Hyack FestivalAssociation (Uptown Live, HyackParade, Canada Days eveningevent, Concerts on the Quay,Santa Claus Parade of Lights),the Downtown New WestminsterBusiness Improvement Area(multicultural festival, Show andShine, StrEAT food truck festival),Fraser River Discovery Centre(RiverFest), Sapperton BusinessAssociation (Sapperton Day), theWest End Business Association (12th StreetMusic Festival), the New WestminsterPride Society (Pride Festival), and the ArtsCouncil of New Westminster (Arts to Goand MOMENTUM Youth Arts Movement,formerly YamJam).

Festivals contribute to the sense of com-munity, vibrancy and celebration in thecity, stated a staff report. To support thesuccess of festivals in New Westminster,it is helpful to understand what is work-ing well, as well as the challenges whichfestival producers face. This dialogue ses-

sion between the major festival producersand city councils will provide an opportu-nity to better understand the dynamics andcritical success factors for festivals in NewWestminster.

Coun. Bill Harper said the city needsto get a clear indication of where the citysmoney will be spent.

Staff has proposed that council receivepresentations from the citys major festival

presenters, who would each begiven about 10 minutes to providea brief overview of their man-date, programming and benefit tothe community, a statement aboutwhat is working well and whereimprovements can be made, abreakdown of the costs of theirevents, and areas where they couldfind efficiencies and cost savings.

Coun. Betty McIntosh suggest-ed organizers of Summerfest (inGrimston Park) and the QuaysideCommunity Festival and Sale

should also be included in the process, asthose events attract large crowds.

Dean Gibson, the citys director of parks,culture and recreation, said staff would behappy to expand the list of groups invitedto make presentations to council. He saidthose groups werent included in the staffrecommendation as they use very little, ifany city services for their events.

Council also expressed a desire to seemore clarity around the provision of in-kindservices provided by the city for variousfestivals.

Molly Jeschkes divorce helpedinspire her to help others goingthrough a similar experience.

The New Westminster womanis leading a series of free work-shops for men and women whoare going through the challeng-ing transition of being single afterbeing part of a couple.

I thought I had divorce writ-ten on my forehead, she saidabout her own experience. Allof a sudden, I am Molly Jeschke,single mom of four.

When Jeschke and her sec-ond husband separated in 1970,she was a mom of four childrenbetween the ages of six and 10.After her husband cheated onher, she felt angry, bitter, insecureand scared about what the future

would bring.I can identify with the peo-

ple, she said. I have a lot ofempathy.

After her children were grown,Jeschke returned to college andbecame a group facilitator anda counsellor. Her workshopsfocus on helping people who arerecently separated or divorcedand are starting out on their ownagain.

A lot of people think, I amlosing my mind, she said.What they are experiencing isthis emotion and that emotion.When they find other people aregoing through the same thing,I am not alone, I am not goingcrazy, I am going through a pro-cess.

While it can be intimidat-ing and scary to go through adivorce or separation, Jeschke

said it helps to connect with oth-ers who are going through thesame thing and experiencing thevarious stages of being on onesown again. She notes its a farbetter alternative than turning toalcohol or drugs, as some peopledo following a split.

There is denial it is nothappening to me. There isanger. There is that loneli-ness and despair in spots,she said. Finally, its likea mountain at the topthere is freedom.

Once she learned to let goof her anger and bitterness andbecome more confident and selfreliant, Jeschke felt free to explorenew interests.

My motto is, dont look atdivorce as an ending its a newbeginning, she said.

Jeschke is well aware that

shes been more fortunate thatsome others who split from theirpartners, noting some experiencestalking, domestic violence andfinancial conflicts.

Nowadays, Jeschkes ex-hus-band stays at her home when

hes in town to visit theirchildren.

Everything is fine,she said. Its like seeinga friend from the past. Wehave real history. I haveknown him since he was

19 years old.Jeschke will be facilitating four,

two-hour workshops for peoplewho are transitioning from beinga couple to being single again.The aim of the free workshopsis to help people understand theprocess of dis-union and devel-op the necessary skill for rebuild-ing a positive future after a rela-

tionship had ended, to help themgain a new support system byinteracting with others who canrelate to similar circumstancesand to develop appropriate com-munication and cooperation witha former partner to effectivelydeal with parenting issues.

I think its important for peo-ple to connect with other people,Jeschke said. The connectionwith others is a big plus.

The workshops, which arebeing held on Sept. 20 and 26 andOct. 4 and 11 from 7 to 9 p.m. atCentury House, are being fund-ed by a Vancouver Foundationneighbourhood small grant pro-gram thats been administeredlocally by Family Services ofGreater Vancouver.

For more about the free work-shops or to register, call MollyJeschke at 604-521-6200.

Not alone: Molly Jeschke is offering a series of free workshops to help people who are recently separated or divorced and who are starting out on their ownagain. The workshops start Sept. 20 at Century House.

For the next nine days, New Westminsterconstables Dave Lemire and JaspaulChung will ride their bikes around theSouth Coast of B.C. and Lower Mainlandin support of Cops for Cancer.

While the ride is physically demandingand requires some training, Lemire andChung chose to tackle what they said wasthe most important part of the ride, thefundraising.

We wanted to be on top of our fund-raising, said Lemire. We agreed to tryand do our fundraising up front so wecould do our training in the summer.

The plan worked, and by July bothLemire and Chung had surpassed the$6,000 minimum required to participate

in the ride. Together, Chung and Lemirehave raised almost $15,000 for the annualevent.

At the end of the day, its for the kids.Thats why you come out and do this.Thats why you donate your time andyour efforts. We all have good days andbad days, right? But if you look at the kidsand theyre battling cancer, none of ourbad days are as bad as their bad days,Lemire said.

The two New Westminster constableswill join more than 20 other police offi-cers from departments across the LowerMainland on a ride through MetroVancouver, the Sunshine Coast, PowellRiver, Squamish, Whistler and Pemberton,starting today (Sept. 18). See www.copsforcancerbc.ca/tourdecoast.

From the second I tried 30 Minute Hit, I knew I was in love. This workout has itall! Ive tried everything from yoga to personal training/classes & boot campsbut nothing got me the results that Ive had at the Hit. Now, after being openfor almost a year, we have MANY wonderful Members who have seen the evenmore amazing results than I did.

I joined the Hit in August of 2011 with the goal of getting into shape so I couldlook fabulous for my wedding the following year. Funny enough, that somewhatsuperficial goal soon took a backseat to my new goal of long-term betterment ofmy health and fitness. After years of failed attempts I had *finally* found a fitnessprogram that I enjoyed doing and couldn't wait to get to. With the encouragementof the wonderful trainers, I quickly saw myself toning up and getting stronger.- Veronica - 30 Minute Hit, New West Member

I had a friend that was raving about New Westminster Hit on Facebook so I decided to giveit a try and it was love at first hit! When I started at the hit I was around a size 15 in dresssizes, and now I'm wearing a size 8:D!!! Its exciting to shop, to get dressed and to be meagain....I've lost 50lbs and am now less than 5lbs away from my goal weight. I feel happierand healthier than I've felt in my adult life! 30 Minute Hit is so easy to work into yourroutine, Ihaveabusy lifebut Ihavenoexcusetonot fit30Minutes in formyself. I amexcitedto reach my goal, and to maintain it... I know continuing at 30 Minute Hit, I will get there.Tisha - 30 Minute Hit, New West Member.

You get the entire package at the Hit! Its unbelievable how you feel after 30 minutes,Ive never felt like that after running for 60 minutes! The Trainers are really good atpushing you - not too much, just enough to make you go further and never quit onyourself. The atmosphere, members and staff are all really friendly and I always feelwelcome. Most importantly, its a FUN place! The results I can clearly see. Ive probablylost at least 4 inches from my muffin top and receive compliments daily from my family,friends and husband. Carolina - 30 Minute Hit, New West Member

I heard about the hit through a friend at work, she said I would love everythingabout it, so she set me up for a free trial. I have to admit, I was a little hesitant tostart going. I thought 30 minutes wasn't nearly long enough for a work out, it wouldnever work. I went for my trial, and I fell in love with it, I couldn't wait to go back. Thetrainers are amazing, they push you to work as hard as you can, to get the best resultspossible. I have only been going to the Hit for 4 months, and I'm already down40lbs. I am addicted, I finally found something that works for me, and it feels amazing.- Meghan - 30 Minute Hit, New West Member.

Kickboxing isnt just FUN, its also very effective. Whatever your goals are, you can reachthem with us. If youre looking to tone up, lose weight, get strong & healthy or just havea good workout that you enjoy going to, youve found the right place.

Our Trainers are always by your side helping you push through your boundaries andsurpass the goals youve set for yourself. Weve seen women build confidence, loseweight, lose inches and better yet, build a community.

After raising almost $17,000.00 in October for Womens Cancer, our Members still foundmore room to give and donated massive amounts of clothing that doesnt fit anymoreto the Hospitals and Womens shelters. New Westminster Hit has really turned into asecond home for many women, and we are so happy to see them all every day achievingtheir goals.

Book your FREE TRIAL and experience the BEST workout you can get in 30minutes. Weve seen many amazing women achieve their goals and we cantwait to get you started!

As our children settleinto the rhythm androutines of a new schoolyear, they begin with freshnotebooks, new pens,empty lockers and cleandesks.

The rest of us areadjusting to their newschedules for driving andmealtimes, but even if wearent students ourselves,the approaching fallbeckons us to renew andreaffirm our daily routines.

We all fall into routines repeated patterns of

behaviour that may notnecessarily be the best forus.

We might follow rou-tine because it is easier orexpedient. We may con-tinue routines simply outof habit.

Many families call thistradition, with generationsof children carrying onwithout question.

As parents of return-ing students, or as adultsresponsible only for our-selves, we can take thismonth to review and chal-lenge our routine. Here area few questions to get youstarted.

How are we eating?Unhealthy eating is fed

by habit; healthy eatingtakes planning.

When a doctor askspatients to count the num-ber of times they bought

prepared food in the pastweek, the answer can sur-prise everyone. We mighttake the drive-throughand eat on the run becausewere in a rush or becausewere simply hungry.

How many of yourmeals are unplanned?

When we leave diet tochance, we usually spendmore money and consumemore calories, salt, fat andprocessed food.

The bathroom scale andyour bank balance cangive you clues. You couldsimply attend to how youphysically feel when eat-ing well and when youdont.

Watch out for those latedinners and high-caloriesnacks.

I tell my patients whatI tell my kids: planningfor the next day reduces

the morning rush and badchoices.

Where do you wasteyour time?

Students and busygrownups often feel as iftheres not enough time ina day.

We cant add morehours to each day, but wecan save time by not wast-ing it.

Over the course of atypical day and week,keep track of how youspend your time. Howmany minutes do youspend on a tablet, smartphone or computer?

Television used to bethe number one time-waster, with shopping (forthe sake of shopping) aclose second, but we havedeveloped even moresophisticated distractionsin the 21st century.

Most people are sur-prised how time slipsaway while we areanswering emails, textingand spending time onTwitter and Facebook.

I predict that socialmedia will ultimately con-sume so much of our livesthat we wont have timeto leave the house andactually meet other people.

If we put a hard dailycap on our time in frontof any screen and in shop-ping malls, were sure tofind time for what is moreimportant and healthy forus.

You may even find timeto exercise.

Where in your daily lifecan you fit in more phys-ical activity?

We can walk and takethe stairs when we can.Many of my patients park

their vehicles or get offtransit a distance fromwork so that they can havea good walk at the begin-ning and the end of eachday.

Others use the com-munity gyms and poolsclose to home or work.

Depending on yourneighbourhood, an after-dinner stroll or cycle isa nice way to spend anevening.

Take a cue from ourkids, review your routines,reaffirm healthy habitsand make a fresh start thisseason.

Dr. Davidicus Wong isa family physician. HisHealthwise column appearsregularly in this paper. Youcan read more about achiev-ing your positive potentialfor health at davidicuswong.wordpress.com.
