New Westminster is a vibrant city, as confirmed during the annual Pride festival.

Welcome to the A-List Welcome to the NewsLeader’s A-List.

This summer, we put the call out to readers, in the form of a survey, asking residents to name some of their favourite shops and services in the city.

The list includes restaurants— with everything from best place for beers on tap, best wine list and best place for fish and chips—to where to get a great facial, a top-notch mechanic, a deal on a used car, or stylish clothes.

It may not be a precise, scientific survey,

but it’s a great way to get a sense of some of the great businesses that are worth visiting in New Westminster.

It will also give you a good start when you’re looking to buy something special, or that expert advice when you’re in need.

If anything, I hope the A-List gives you an even greater appreciation for all the amazing offerings in this city.

Congratulations to all who made this year’s A-List!

M JOHN GAIPT

John Gaiptman took over as the CEO/ Superintendent of the New Westminster School District (SD40) in February and has already made great strides in strengthening and revitalizing the school district’s operations.

1. How did you get here? As in, what was your teaching path?

I started my career teaching Math and Special Education. Over time, I’ve held many positions including Vice-Principal, Principal, Director of Instruction and Associate Superintendent. I spent twelve years in Greater Victoria as their Superintendent of Schools and for the past eight months, I’ve had the privilege of being Superintendent of Schools for the New Westminster School District.

Y YOU

AS VOTED B

2. What drew you to education in the first place?

From the time that I was in university, I’ve always believed in the importance of creating a sense of community and a sense of belonging. Great teachers and great administrators are able to create a sense of community and a sense of belonging in their classrooms and in their schools.

Please see MORE, A19

Schools superintendent John Gaiptman loves a little basketball.

Q & A WITH JOHN GAIPTMAN ⫸

S BE ST N EW W ES T’

continued from page a17

3. Tell us something people might not know about you.

On the weekends, my wife and I can often be found struggling to complete the weekend crossword puzzles at one of New Westminster’s many cafés. It is a weekend ritual that we love to do. Also, I used to play basketball in an Old-timers’ League in Victoria. I really miss playing. I’m not talented but I love the game.

4. Best part of your job?

I love getting into classrooms. I especially enjoy reading and talking to our primary students. When the opportunity arises, I also enjoy teaching or teamteaching a class.

5. Toughest part?

The work, at times, can be difficult but that is true for our support staff, teachers and administration. However, like so many of the wonderful people in our school district, I love what I do and am thankful that I have the opportunity to do what I love doing here in New Westminster. I try to be as consistent as possible. I come to work every day being open, honest and working to the best of my ability. I have no reason to complain. I chose to do this work.

6. Any surprises since coming to New West?

I’m not sure if there have been any surprises but I have certainly have had a steep learning curve.

Y YOU

AS VOTED B

6. When not at work, what’s a favourite thing in New West?

I didn’t realize that New Westminster had so much to offer. I enjoy casual dining and some of the best sandwiches I have ever had are made in the diners in New West. I can now walk in to the Coming Home Café and Michael will make me a smoked meat sandwich better than anything you can get in Montreal.

New West is a great city for people like me who choose walking as their mode of transportation. Whether walking from Queen’s Park to Tipperary Park or from Riverwalk to Glenbrook Ravine, I’m always impressed by the vistas and by the architecture. I’m not sure what the budget is for landscaping in New West but I have not seen a city with so many beautiful gardens. Of course, it is always the people that make the city, and the citizens of New Westminster have immense pride in their community.

7. Anything you want to tell us that we haven’t asked?

I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention New West is a great city for sports and music.

The Salmonbellies had a terrific season and they have shown real promise for next year. I have become a big fan of the Hyacks football team. I think Coach Lalji has the players that can win the Provincial Championship. I am also looking forward to the band and choral concerts that will be starting soon. There is always something to do in New Westminster.

Ashley Currie is the Youth Services Coordinator for New Westminster Parks, Culture and Recreation. She oversees and coordinates youth programming and initiatives in New Westminster, and sits on some municipal, inter-municipal and provincial committees, such as the Youth Advisory Committee, the Sexual Exploitation Task Force and the BC Youth Week Committee.

1. Can you tell us a little about what you do?

I hire, support and develop staff, manage the overall Youth Services budget, oversee program operation and development in our four neighbourhoods (East End, Central, West End and Queensborough) as well as the Youth Centre. I also explore possibilities for youth programming and community partnerships that can enhance the youth experience in New Westminster.

2. What’s the best part of your job?

Seeing youth engage and finding meaning in something we are able to provide.

Many! I think one of the biggest ones is realizing that our Youth Centre has more than 2,000 members (and youth have to be 13-18 to attend the Youth Centre). In a city as small as New West, that speaks volumes about the amazing staff team, as well as the quality programming and engagement that has been happening here the past four years.

Ashley Currie’s job includes overseeing operations at the city’s Youth Centre at Moody Park.

Q&A with Ashley Currie ⫸

4. What’s your favourite thing about New West youth?

5. Anything you want to tell us that we haven’t asked?

They are vibrant, creative, and want to make things happen… within Youth Services and without. The Momentum Arts Movement, Ecofest, Renew Crew, the Sundown Music Festival… all these events are supported and developed by youth for youth and the community.

I’m astounded at what small groups of youth can create with adult support and mentorship.

So many people speak about how “youth are the future,” which is very true. However, I think we often overlook the merit and unique lens that youth can bring to the “right here and now.”

There is so much that they can contribute and offer when given a chance and an opportunity.

I get to see it every day!

Sarah Joyce and Gordon Duggan share the position of director/curator for the City of New Westminster’s New Media Gallery at the Anvil Centre, which opened in September.

1. Can you tell us a little about what you do with the city?

We curate international art exhibitions for the city. We also organize artist’s talks and some programmes connected to these exhibitions.

Exhibitions start with loads of research and

AS VOTED B

discussion. We choose the artists and works of art… then we contact institutions and lenders around the world and organize the shipment of works to New Westminster. We design the exhibition space and graphics and manage the installations and technology. We are just beginning to work with a wonderful group of volunteers who will be taking on an increasingly greater role in the gallery.

Our exhibitions change every 10 weeks; it’s a fast turnover so don’t miss the chance to visit!

2. Can you explain a bit about your current exhibit?

Musicircus brings together a small but extraordinary group of international artists who explore music and music-making in very different ways. We have a piano transformed into a haunting portrait that responds to heat and movement. The magnificent Video Quartet, by Christian Marclay of London, is a 40-foot-long, four-screen video work that creates music from film clips.

Q&A with the curators of the New Media Gallery ⫸

continued from page a25

He was recently named one of the “Ten most important artists of today”

by Newsweek and is one of Time magazine’s “Time 100.” The third piece is from Vancouver artist Tim Lee: String Quartet, Op. 1, Glenn Gould, 1955.

It is a fascinating four-screen video work that re-creates a key moment in Canadian musical history—but there is an interesting catch! Finally, there is UK Signal-to-Noise who have dismantled and reconstructed dead technology to produce an unconventional instrument that plays with memory and time.

3. What has public reaction been like so far?

Fantastic! Beyond what we expected.

To our delight, many visitors seem to have fallen in love with the exhibition and the gallery (not to mention the building)!

Since opening we have met literally thousands of visitors face to face. Gallery attendance is excellent when compared to other galleries. Wouldn’t it be great if we could punch above the national average and have the highest per capita attendance?

4. What’s the best part of your job?

There are so many. Workng with artists—definitely a highlight. Meeting people who come into the gallery. One

S BE ST N EW W ES T’

AS VOTED B

“best” is the moment when the public first encounters the exhibition. They see for themselves how wonderful and thought-provoking the work is, and how imaginative and creative these artists truly are. In the case of Musicircus, a number of people have returned again and again, bringing friends and family.

FOOD

Favourite Thai ■ Thai Box 2 Go ■ Longtail Kitchen ■ Go Thai

Favourite Wings ■ River’s Reach ■ Wing’s ■ Browns Social House

5. Have there been any surprises?

We’ve learned never to judge a book by its cover. The most unlikely visitor will inevitably be the one who loves or understands a work of art at the deepest level.

6. Can you give us some hints about what’s coming next at the gallery?

We’re excited! Our next exhibition is called Biometric. The public reception is Dec. 4. Before the reception we’ll have a talk by Julie Rrap, a major figure in Australian art. We’re thrilled about how this exhibition is shaping up. It presents portraiture in a world transformed by technology. The artists explore the physicality of the face and body, how it ages and changes. There are DNA portraits and portraits that explore what it means to be measured, analysed and understood as human. We have portraits that ask what being human actually means. The works are poignant, provocative and completely fascinating.

Be prepared to stay for awhile.
