BEGBIE STREET PEDESTRIAN RAIL CROSSING SURFACE REPAIRS
CITYPAGE HELP KEEP DRAINAGE GRATES CLEAR OF DEBRIS The City of New Westminster requests the assistance of residents to help clear leaves, debris and snow that may block drainage grates on City roads surrounding your property. This will help prevent possible flooding and washouts and will ensure proper drainage.

Please note: It is normal to have some standing water in the chamber.

Please be advised that repairs to the pedestrian crossing at Begbie Street will begin on the morning of Wednesday, October 26. It is expected that the work will be completed by Thursday afternoon.

When inspiration hits Donnie and Marian Lochrie, look out. For the second time this year they spent a weekend writing and recording a song and then making a video for YouTube. By day, they are mild-mannered teachers. After hours they’re a garage-style band called Kick in the Eye that plays farmers markets, clubs and children’s venues. In June, they conceived and cobbled together “Our Canucks” in support of the hockey team’s run for the Stanley Cup. Last week they watched an interview with one of their favourite authors, Canadian social activist Naomi Klein, who was supporting the Occupy Wall Street protest over corporate power and greed.
“It just summed up the emotional feelings of the protestors. That’s what we liked about the interview, she had a lot of emotion,” said Donnie. With Occupy Vancouver beginning on the weekend, they got right to work. “When we get the inspiration there’s nothing that can stop us,” Donnie said. So they got out their pencils and chart sheets and went to work. They finished writing “A Song for Wall Street (The Future is Made)” on Friday evening. Around 1 a.m. on Saturday some friends came over to their Moody Park household with recording equipment, finishing at 5 a.m. After a couple hours’ shuteye, they headed to their gig at the Vancouver Farmers Market at Trout Lake before going downtown to Occupy Vancouver to take pictures for a video. “We were running on all cylinders,” said Donnie. By Sunday, they had pieced the video

together and uploaded it to YouTube. After Occupy Vancouver retweeted it, they picked up 4,000 followers. In his university days, Donnie took history at UBC. He knows movements come in cycles, and watched in recent years as middle-class wages fell while corporate profits skyrocketed. That’s why his favourite lyric comes near the end of the song: “You had to take it just a little too far, awake a generation wherever they are.” “I remember when I went to university there really wasn’t a protest movement,” said Donnie. “There really wasn’t anything to protest in the 1990s. Finally there is something to awaken this generation, and by generation I mean Generation X. We noticed at Occupy Vancouver they were mostly in their late 20s and into their 30s, which is Generation X. It seems to be that generation finally has a purpose.” Kick in the Eye has been invited to sing the song at a benefit Saturday afternoon at the Rio Theatre in Vancouver in support of activist Brigette DePape, who held up a Stop Harper sign during the throne speech in the Senate on June 3 while part of the parliamentary page program. As for “Our Canucks,” Donnie said he and Marian are thinking of rerecording the vocals so it will have a fresh take for the team’s next playoff run because “This is our year, 2011, the Cup is coming here” doesn’t quite work any more.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Monitoring the buzz Insomnia, anxiety, allergic reactions, palpitations and withdrawal – a list of symptoms from an illegal drug? No, it’s what adults have known for years are the downsides of drinking too much coffee and tea. Unfortunately, now the kids are emulating their parents by drinking energy drinks that typically have twice the caffeine of pop and just about as much as a cup of drip coffee. The kids think these drinks are cool, their logos are eye-catching and they are easy to get at corner stores and grocery outlets. A single can of Red Bull or Monster falls within Health Canada guidelines for caffeine consumption for older teens, but what happens if two or more are consumed in a day? Should the government have taken a tougher stance and prevented these drinks from being sold anywhere but pharmacies? The more adults try to regulate teen behaviour, the more challenges they face. And the fact that caffeine is mildly addictive is not lost on companies marketing their products to kids in new and innovative ways. The popularity of these beverages among teens looking for a light buzz is reminiscent of the older generations’ interest in cigarettes. For teens, water is boring, pop is old-school and so is juice, although neither are great as they are full of sugar. But are we comfortable with kids picking up an energy drink at lunch or on the way home from school? At the very least, parents should be educating themselves as to what their children are ingesting. Health Canada’s suggested limits for daily caffeine intake are roughly 2.5 mg per kilogram of body weight. Parents can at least use the new content disclosure rules to ¿nd out whether their kids’ drinks measure up. – Black Press

The delicate art of parking What kind of parker are you? Arriving at a busy shopping mall, do you drive around endlessly in search of a space? Do you meander, as though on a Sunday drive through the country, until luck strikes? Or are you a different breed entirely, one who idles the car outside the mall doors? It’s not stalking, really, is it? Let’s call it “following with intent.” Sure, this approach might get you labelled a creep, but that’s not the only peril. After all, you might follow your target all the way across the lot only to watch as they dodge through some bushes to the sidewalk, and wait for a bus. Back to square one. The obvious solution is to ¿rst ask, “Hey, you leaving in a car?” before initiating the pursuit. If they nod, there will be that added charm of the fact you’re not only following them at 4 km/h in your vehicle, but they know you are. You’ve made a friend. Then there is the hybrid approach. You wander the lot until

you spot someone with bags, or a shopping cart, and you make the contact there. It seems like serendipity, doesn’t it? Like a surprisingly pleasant chat with an attractive server at a restaurant. You’re both there for a purpose. You’re not a vulture. I must say, though, it’s good to pick your spots. If a woman is coming out of Superstore with two toddlers and a baby, and an obscene amount of groceries, “Hey, you leavin’?” might not get you a smile. When it comes to parking, I prefer the outdoor variety. Even if you’re not claustrophobic, there’s something about the cavernous, multi-tiered parkades at Metrotown and Paci¿c Centre that suggest a trip to the centre of the earth. I get

short of breath. Even in a small car, the ceilings seem low, the spots squeakingly narrow. The real challenge is to ¿nd your car when you come back. There was a time when I just said to myself “You left it by the concrete pillar” but soon learned this wasn’t good enough. Today, I get out of the car and walk backwards toward the elevator. It’s like previewing how things will look when I return. A friend takes this one step further and snaps a photo with her camera phone. For the tech lovers, there are also devices like the “Auto Finder,” which I found online from the appropriately named Finder Technologies. The website states it can “¿nd your car from one-half mile away... using our patented radio direction-¿nding technology.” Put the beacon on your windshield behind the rearview, and when you exit the shops all befuddled, anxious, catatonic, suicidal, pondering just abandoning your car forever—wherever the

heck it is—you simply pull out your little fob, and press a button. Then you spin around in circles until, like a geiger counter, it suddenly goes BEEP-BEEP-BEEP and the arrows light up. An improvement on this, in my humble opinion, would be one that says “warmer... warmer... oh, you’re getting hot, hotter.” Finder Technology also sells a the Child Finder, and Pet Finder too, though I’m not sure where you’re supposed to af¿x the beacon to your kid. Regardless, it’s a great idea. You could just let them loose in the morning, then pull out the fancy gadget and track them down at the end of the day. No more daycare, no more using the kennel.

A salute to those who are standing up An open letter to participants of Occupy Vancouver: First let me thank you from the bottom of my heart. For every one of you who participated, know that there are thousands like me—the middle-class—who are also fed up with watching our precious social safety net decay; fed up with banks and corporations getting government bailouts one year only to report record pro¿ts the next. This while there are fewer opportunities to make a living wage. Pundits and those in political power say the Occupy movement has no clear focus. Well neither did the early Internet, but the desire was clear to do something good—and to keep it out of the hands of government and the private sector. That turned out all right, didn’t it? Your actions last weekend, and those of others at Occupy events in countless communities around the world, may well mark the turning point for society; the day we started to right the wrongs created by a greedy minority. The day we started to reject governments that represented the many but rewarded only the few. You have the attention of the senior governments that led us to where we are
today, take advantage of it. You are rousting thousands of us from our complacency and making us, all of us, believe again that we can make things better. Like Sir John A.

RESIDENTS WEREN’T ASKED
JUST WATCH US
Re: A closer look at the price of a park If the residents of New West were asked— prior to the start of building this park—if they would prefer to spend $25 million (plus the purchase price) on another park or would they rather replace Canada Games Pool or keep the Burr and use it as an art centre or build a different amenity, I do not believe the park would have been the amenity of choice. SusanWandell Voice candidate for city council
Re: Quayside noise and vibration concerns not widespread You say we would lose tax revenue? Why don’t you get your facts straight. We do not receive a single cent in taxes from all the noise 24 hours per day. So, yeah, they should move the rail operation elsewhere. Next, we will be mounting a massive blockade and you will see what happens to a corporation that shows no respect. Just you watch. Rata4u, newwestnewsleader.com
But did the city spend $25 million? How could the federal money contributed as part of a Brown¿eld Fund have been spent on the Canada Games Pool? And how do you suppose the city should have ¿nanced cleaning up a contaminated site on its
SMARTING FROM THE METERS Re: Will smart meters be a smart move? Someone has to repay this billion dollar investment. Guess who? Fine for a couple living in a apartment but certain punishment for families, and the more children the higher
the punishment. Between the smart water meters and smart hydro meters there will be far less disposable income for most people who are already being taxed into poverty. peter j, newwestnewsleader.com
ARTS NEED STABLE FUNDING Re: ARTS CORNER: In the arts, it’s cooperate or fail Rick Carswell has hit the nail on the head. Arts and cultural organizations have to partner with each other, the communities they serve and the private sector. A partner/ sponsorship strategy, coupled with an unwavering focus on membership and community needs, broadens the revenue base and places programs and services on a more stable footing. As he remarks in his concluding paragraph, this type of initiative would really boost the creativity index of our communities if it was combined with adequate, predictable funding from government. Arts funding in B.C. has been disproportionately eroded in recent years. It’s time for governments at all levels to establish rational policy with stated long-term objectives when it comes to budgeting for and funding the arts.

This has evolved into six critically acclaimed annual U.S tours, a CD on Favored Nations Records released in 2004, and a book of IGN compositions. This year, International Guitar Night invites a new cast of guitar luminaries from their ever-revolving cast of ¿nger-style guitarists to perform in this tour. Each of the musicians all bring
a different musical style to the table as well as each being from a different part of the world, each enjoying this opportunity showcase their talents. For this year’s North American tour, guitar poet Brian welcomes Lulo Reinhardt, a descendant of Django from Germany who mixes his family’s trademark Gyspy Jazz with new forays into Latin music; UK ¿ngerstyle guitar pioneer Adrian Legg, and renowned Brazilian guitarist Marco Pereira. In addition to their performance, International Guitar Night will also be hosting a guitar workshop for the students of New Westminster Secondary School’s guitar class. Students will have the opportunity to play and learn from some of the world’s greatest ¿ngerstyle guitarists. International Guitar Night offers an evening of solos, duets and quartets at

T
he first time Jordan Awali passed through downtown New Westminster, he wasn’t impressed. The sidewalks were deserted, the city “felt old,” he says. Now he runs the Quantum Café and Bistro on Sixth Street, just off Columbia. What happened to change his mind about the Royal City? Serendipity. Awali had been working in a coffee shop in downtown Vancouver, but he wanted to run his own place, be his own boss. The former owner of the Quantum was looking to sell his business.
LOFTY LIVING
Furniture, Home Decor & Gift Boutique
When Awali returned to New West to scope out this possible opportunity, he looked around with fresh eyes. He saw the new condos towering over the historic Downtown. He saw the cranes for the new movie theater and shopping complex at the Eighth Street SkyTrain station. He saw the signs for the new civic centre. He saw the old Raymond Burr Theatre about to reopen as a swank comedy club. He saw students from Douglas College and the West Coast College of Massage Therapy, all of them potential hungry customers. “This makes sense to me,” he told himself. Four months ago Awali reopened the Quantum. It was the culmination of a journey
CHOICEquotes Jordan Awali, owner, Quantum Café You’ve got to work hard. If you believe in yourself, then anything is possible.

that has taken 12 years. That’s when the former pharmacist’s assistant decided to take his family from Iran where people of his Bahai faith were routinely persecuted. They stopped in Turkey for eight months, then immigrated to Canada. Their ¿rst stop was Halifax.
But Awali says it was too cold there. So the family headed west to the more temperate climes of the Lower Mainland. Awali’s own struggles to get established in a new country and learn a new culture have forged in him the resolve and resilience to work hard. He opens his café at 7 a.m. and doesn’t close the doors until 8 p.m. “You’ve got to work hard,” says Awali. “If you believe in yourself, then anything is possible.” Awali bakes his own pastries, like croissants, muf¿ns, lemon tarts, banana and walnut loaf. And because his shiny little café doesn’t have a large freezer, he makes his sandwiches fresh every day. He also offers homemade seasonal soups like vegetable and cream of tomato. But Awali’s most proud of his coffee, Intelligentsia, which he sources from Columbia by way of Chicago. Awali says most of his customers come from surrounding of¿ces and businesses, as well as the Quantum condo tower in which his café is situated. And of course the students, who appreciate the economical sandwich and soup combos while they surf their iPhones or laptops on the free WiFi. Awali’s no longer just passing through New West. “I feel like I’m in a good area,” he says. “There’s lots of character here. It’s growing.”

Chef proďŹ le: Harsimran Sandhu Zest of NEW WEST, a taste tour of the city’s eateries, is an initiative of the Hyack Festival Association. It returns for its Âżfth year from Oct. 21-30. Visit zestofnewwest.com. This is a proÂżle of Harsimran Sandhu, a chef at Boston Pizza in Queensborough. Q: How did you become a chef? I’ve been in the culinary world for two years. I’m a recent graduate of the Culinary Arts program at Vancouver Community College. Q: What is your favourite ingredient to cook with? Why? Red wine. It’s got great depth of Ă€avour for a sauce or jus. Q: What is your favourite vegetable; favourite way to prepare it? Red pepper. Roasting it right on the grill until it’s charred. Then peel the skin off to reveal the sweet pepper. Q: What essentials must be in your pantry? Ghee, Âżne sea salt, full rack of spices, herbs, shallots, and garlic. Q: What would you be if you weren’t a chef? I have a passion for history. I would go back to university for Archealogy. Q: What were you in your former life? Before I began working in the kitchen, I worked as a Youth Worker with the City of Surrey. Q: What is your favourite meal? Green curry chicken with Jasmine rice.
We’re celebrating grand openings KJM Urban Gardens Pamola Bakery & Deli The Crab Shop Tre Galli Gelato Caffè
For kids in costumes Q: What is your favourite meal that you like to prepare for guests at home? I like preparing South Asian dishes. Q: What inspired you to take the path of culinary arts? At the time I needed a part-time job while upgrading at university. My inspiration grew from understanding the method of cooking, working with great people, and seeing the ¿nished product. Q: Who do you consider to be your mentor? The chefs in Culinary Arts at VCC. They have a passion to teach and inspire students.

Your diligence and determination even when we started to doubt it was remarkable . You never gave up hope and remained focused, even when we wanted to veer away from what you knew, we were looking for. Your endless hours – including the “midnight offer “ was a sheer testament to your commitment to your client’s. I am proud, not only to say, we are very satisfied client’s but more than that honoured to have you all as great friend’s. Let this journey, although it is over, be a beginning to a long lasting friendship.

We can’t wait to purchase our new home with them as our realtors. You guys are great! Thanks a bunch! Thanks, Sylvea & Geoff Mysynuk
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our wonderful clients and the entire community of New Westminster for all your support including all our resident neighbours & business owners, WEBA, our gracious Mayor Wayne Wright, and the terrific realtors who have assisted in showing and selling many of our clients’ properties.
NOW THAT’S A SMART MOVE! *Savings based on statistics since January 1st, 2000 for all Assist-2-Sell offices in North America, compared to paying 6% commission. 6% used for comparison purposes only. Commissions may be negotiable and are not set by law. **Savings for local office based on statistics since March 1 2009 & comparison of 7% on the first $100,000 and 2.5% on the balance is used for comparison purposes only. Commissions are negotiable and are not set by law. This material is not intended to cause or induce breach of an existing agency agreement.
I want to sincerely thank you for your professional service in the listing and sale of my house in Queens Park. Your opinion of value, as reflected in the sale price, was more accurate than the numerous other opinions I obtained from local realtors. The marketing strategy was very effective resulting in competitive offers and a quick sale. Your customer care, guidance and professionalism is beyond reproach, and as a result I am pleased to recommend you to family and friends. Best wishes for continued success, J.D.

Sandy & Lyle, To thank you both for the fantastic work done by you. You have exceeded my expectations and I am so glad that you were the realtors who handled my property. Your willingness to go the extra mile with a smile puts you miles ahead of the competition and I am sure that in the coming years you will be the #1 Realtor Team in B.C. I know that I would not have got the price I got if I had worked with any other realtor in the lower mainland, and for that, my friends, I thank you from the bottom of my heart!!! Good luck & God Bless. Regards, Satya & Aparna

SANDY LONGRIDGE
Dear Lyle, I just love the way you respond immediately to our request!!I love the energy and enthusiasm with which you handle your work, it is contagious and comforting. You and Sandy are the most amazing couple I could ever met and have representing me on this realty business, since the day you went to my house and I hired you to sell my duplex I felt that you guys were incredible knowledgeable and the power of selling was within you, I was almost in disbelieve, are these guys for real? it was almost too good to be true, but throughout this time you have shown me that you are for real and it is true, you are both caring and honest and that energy!!my God, all that energy that makes you believe that everything is possible!!thank you guys Lyle and Sandy, thank you for been there for me, for treating me respect and for helping out with selling my house and finding another one that could end up been the perfect place for me..God bless you both Sincerely, Felicia Dear Sandy, I want to take this opportunity to express to you how much my husband, Jorge, and I appreciate your help in selling our home. When your flyer showed up on our doorstep and I read about your flat fee for selling, I was intrigued and called right away and had such a great talk with your partner and hubby, Lyle. His confidence, energy, and excitement really inspired me. We were so impressed with both of you with your thorough and professional presentation that we said, “YES!!!” right away. Having never sold a home before (we had only been buyers!) we didn’t know what a “rocket ride” it could be. We so appreciate your willingness to support our decision to stick to our original price, and then after five months of being on the market, you helped us get $22,000 OVER asking price! Wow! =) Sandy, what I appreciate the most is you as a person: your sense of humour when I needed to laugh (“You mean I have to clean my house AGAIN???!!!”) and your sense of calm when the stress level was high (“Will they accept our counter-offer?”). Sandy, you are truly a gem, a “rare bird”, and while your fee may be lower than most, your service is tip top. Jenn & Jorge
Lyle & Sandy, In all of my previous 4 home sales nobody has put in one tenth of your efforts. ! (BUT SURE COST ME A WHOLE LOT MORE MONEY!} Thank you both so much for all your efforts , assistance , personal attention and commitment in selling my home . You got me a good price in a difficult market and have very much helped ease the sting of giving up my home at this time. At first opportunity I will be calling you again!! Merci Beaucoup!! E.Ritchie Sandy & Lyle Longridge, We just wanted to take a moment to thank you both for your superb job marketing and presenting our home through Assist2Sell. It was through your excellent work that our house sold so quickly and easily which is impressive in this shaky economic market. It was a pleasure to go through the listing process with realtors who are so personable and knowledgeable, not only of the local area, but of the greater real-estate market as a whole. We appreciate your diligence, positive approach, and good sense of humor, not to mention your discounted commission. We highly recommend Assist2Sell!

Taxi drivers tell him they’re saving about $7,000 a year using Toyota Priuses and although they cost more to buy, over time it’s cheaper.

Police vehicles made up the city’s highest portion of energy consumption (26.3 per cent) in 2010. “It’s quite complex. It’s a matter of getting all that information and ¿nding out where the cost savings are, where the ef¿ciencies are,” said Harper. Along with alternative fuels, the city also has to look at smaller vehicles for use by inspectors or supervisors, Harper said. “The issue is where is the technology and how can we take advantage of that.

Bricks and mortar began slowly crumbling away. A big cheer went up a few minutes later when the front roof came down. “Keep it up!” Keen called to the machine operator from his perch along the paved trail that meanders through the Victoria Hill subdivision. Although former residents hugged each other as the walls came tumbling down, few tears were shed. Every day since the Millennium Line was built, McDonald has taken the SkyTrain to work with a couple of his friends who also lived at Woodlands. He’d always look at it as the train rolled by but his friends, who he says had suffered more abuse than he had, wouldn’t look. “When is it going to come down?” they would ask McDonald. “Its days are numbered and when it comes you’re not going to have to look at it,” he replied. “Now we can say people don’t have to look at it any more because it would be in the past. Now everybody can live in peace,” said McDonald just before giving a big cheer along with the rest of the crowd as the centre block front came crashing to the ground. “When I’m on SkyTrain tomorrow (Wednesday) and when I look over I will say, ‘Gone! Finally! Now I’m in peace’” said McDonald. —with ¿le from Tom Fletcher

The SFU Clan men’s soccer team is number one. The unbeaten squad leaped over Fort Lewis College to the top spot in the NCAA Division II national rankings on Tuesday. “It is a historic milestone to be ranked number one in the NCAA,” said the team’s head coach Alan Koch in a press release. “It is an achievement that the players should be incredibly proud of. It puts a huge target on our back now and the players need to be ready for some tough
challenges ahead.” Their ¿rst challenge came on Thursday, when they hosted Northwest Nazarene University. The Clan needed extra time to defeat the Crusaders 1-0 in their previous meeting Sept. 24 in Nampa, Idaho. The Clan will entertain Montana State University Billings at Terry Fox Field on Saturday at noon.
Cross country success The SFU Clan women’s and
men’s cross country teams will be running into Saturday’s Great Northwest Athletic Conference championships in Yakima, Wash., with momentum at their backs. Jessica Smith ¿nished ¿rst in team standings and second in individual rankings, and Lindsay Butterworth ¿nished fourth to lead the women’s team to the overall title at last weekend’s Adidas-Concordia Cross Country Classic in Portland, Ore. The men ¿nished third overall with three runners in the top 20.
