CALENDAROF
The City of New Westminster and New Westminster Community Policing Committee (NWCPC) have partnered together to offer residents an opportunity to come together and talk about community safety by offering the Community Safety Grant. The Community Safety Grant aims to encourage local residents and merchants to participate in community safety and livability by hosting neighbourhood safety meetings and events. These safety meetings or events are used as a forum to talk about crime prevention, whereby police staff or volunteers would like to attend and talk to your group or host an information booth. The Community Safety Grant is a way to promote safe, livable and cohesive neighbourhoods, which in turn build the best community in which to live, work and play. For more information on the Community Safety Grant visit www.newwestpolice.org or www.newwestcity.ca.
MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATE The City of New Westminster has recently started to update its Master Transportation Plan. The City’s existing Long-Range Transportation Plan was developed in 1998 and recommended improvements for all modes over the next 20 years. Since the existing Transportation Plan was adopted, there have been a number of changes to land use patterns and the transportation network within New Westminster. The updated Master Transportation Plan will guide decision-making for transportation over the next 25 years and beyond. The updated Master Transportation Plan will recommend improvements for all modes of transportation, including walking, cycling, public transit, goods movement, and vehicles. This process is important to ensure that transportation investments work towards achieving the City’s strategic goals, make the best use of our tax dollars and help shift towards a more sustainable future. Please visit our website for more information and to have your say by filling out the online survey.
Applications must be submitted online or received by email, fax 604-527-4594, regular postal mail or hand-delivered to Legislative Services no later than Friday, November 18, 2011. For more information, call Donna Martin, Committee Clerk, at 604-515-3782 or email dmartin@newwestcity.ca.

Haze-Lee Hartwig has always been up for raising money for charity by running. The New Westminster resident didn’t hesitate to participate in events like the 24-hour relay around town. However, a few years ago both of his parents were diagnosed with type-2 diabetes. He also had friends that were living with type-1, and one of them said, “Why not raise money for diabetes?â€? “Why not,â€? thought Hartwig, who Âżgures since both his parents have it, the disease is “probably in the mailâ€? addressed to him. “One of my friends,â€? says Hartwig, “had to get an extra shot of insulin because he was starting to lose vision. He had to get a needle to his eye which I couldn’t have even imagined. I hope that’s something I don’t have to experience.â€? Hartwig discovered the Canadian Diabetes Association hooks up with marathons across Canada and around the world. He looked at the global choices, which were Rio de Janeiro, Costa Rica and Reykjavik, Iceland. Hartwig, perhaps surprisingly, chose the one on Aug. 25, 2012 in Iceland, the land of long summer days and geysers that provide the energy to power the country. He’s hoping with the awareness of World Diabetes Day next Monday (Nov. 14) he’ll be able to get some pledges for him to reach his minimum goal of $6,100 to go on the trip. “It’s just so different, why not try it and see what happens,â€? says Hartwig, 30, who ran on the crosscountry and track teams when he attended New
Westminster secondary. “You wouldn’t normally go to Iceland, it’s really out there.â€? Hartwig, who was born on the day John Lennon died (Dec. 8, 1980), isn’t afraid to be different. He became a vegetarian when he was in Grade 8. “Red meat sits in your stomach for multiple days,â€? he says. “If you have 60 ounces in your stomach you might as well run with a backpack on.â€? In Grade 10, out of respect for his mother, he adopted her maiden name, Hazel by combining it with his Âżrst name, Lee. Balanced with his time spent working as a realtor, Hartwig is physically active. He goes on Âżve- to eight-kilometre runs about three times a week and during the winter can frequently be found on Cypress Mountain skiing and snowboarding. “I’ve got a slight addiction to mountains,â€? he admits. Often he’ll slap on his shoes and head to his girlfriend’s place, which is 6.7 km from his home. Although surprised at his choice of Iceland, she’s going too and they plan to take a European vacation while there. “She probably would not have ended up in Iceland otherwise. It’s quite a beautiful place. The name’s deceiving,â€? says Hartwig. However, Âżrst of all he has to raise the money for the CDA to get him to the starting line. “I have to be resourceful,â€? he says. He says he’s getting some money from 50-50 draws, and from a poker tournament at the Starlight Casino, and that so far he’s up to $1,200. If he can’t raise enough Team Diabetes will send him to a race not as far away. To make a pledge for Hartwig’s run go to tinyurl. com/TeamDiabetesHaze.

Three times an arts centre was denied: Wandell Grant Granger ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
New Westminster has a history of supporting the arts, but some people running for election believe the city could do more to help it thrive more than it does today. As past president of the Arts Council of New Westminster, city council candidate Susan Wandell is passionate about the subject. “The city doesn’t appreciate the economic impact the arts can have to a community. They have put it under the control of parks WANDELL and recreation. It is a service to the community, but it should also be considered under economic development,” said Wandell, who is running under the Voice New Westminster banner. “When we have a show in town the spinoffs are huge.” Although she said the new Downtown civic centre, which will have a small theatre and art studios, is a start it is not a replacement for a standalone arts centre. That’s something that’s been discussed for more than a decade, but the
city keeps selling off potential properties to house one. First, Wandell said, the nurses lodge at Woodlands was sold to Victoria Hill developer Onni. Then CIBC gave its old bank building to the city, but the city sold that, too. Finally the Burr Theatre was sold to LafÀines owner Barry Buckland. Wandell said combining the CIBC and Burr side by side would have taken arts out of the new civic centre and given the city two anchors on Columbia Street. “Everything gets sold behind us,” said Wandell. “[The civic centre] is a start, but it’s not a replacement for an arts centre. It’s something that has been [lacking].” Wandell is also worried that once the Massey Theatre comes down when New Westminster secondary is rebuilt it won’t be replaced. “There’s a lack of trust in the arts community that the new theatre will be built,” said Wandell. “I’d like to think we can trust everybody that’s been involved in it.” There is no reason to be fearful, said Coun. Betty McIntosh, who is seeking a ¿fth term on council and is running as an independent. The city and the district have a ¿rm agreement a new Massey Theatre will be built, it just won’t

She agrees with Wandell
in lamenting the loss of the nurses lodge for a potential site because of its accessibility. “New Westminster is moving forward with supporting the arts (although) it’s not been as much of a focus as artists would think it should be,” said McIntosh. Coun. Lorrie Williams said the city’s arts scene “has been a little scattered in a sense, in that we haven’t had a coordinator of arts and culture up to now.” To ¿ll that void, the city hired Greg Magirescu 20 months ago as its arts boss. “I don’t know if it needs a total coordination but we have a lot of WILLIAMS arts going on and everybody is doing their bit, but we have to make sure everyone has the space and the funding to do whatever they can,” said Williams, who is backed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council and is president of the New Westminster Symphony Orchestra. “If we could get an art gallery going, it would be a big step forward.” The new civic centre, Williams said, will be a good catalyst for arts in New Westminster because it will provide a place for displays, plays, workshops and studios.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Honour and respect
LAST WEEK:
Remembrance Day is Friday. Which means a long weekend for most British Columbians. And the temptation to take full advantage of the three-day respite from work will be great. Some may hightail it out of town. Some will get a start on their Christmas shopping. Which is all well and good, provided we pause to honour and reÀect on the sacri¿ces others made that allow us to enjoy such luxuries as long weekends, travel, bountiful stores. The last of the WWI veterans are gone. The ranks of those who served in WWII dwindle every year. Soon they, and the stories they tell to enliven that conÀict to current generations, will also be gone. Their sacri¿ce and their selÀess contribution when they were in the prime of their lives to allow us our current freedoms and quality of life are unquestioned. When they went off to war, the enemy was apparent, unmistakable in its intent. Their job was to be liberators, to vanquish that enemy, banish it forever as a threat. And as we watch them shufÀe by in ever smaller ranks at Remembrance Day ceremonies, it’s hard not to swell with pride at the job they did so very well. The veterans of more contemporary conÀicts, like the war in Afghanistan, don’t have it so easy. The war they were sent to ¿ght is not universally seen as our war. The freedoms they ¿ght to uphold are more removed from our daily lives. The decision to send them there is regarded by some as more political and ideological than just. Sixty years on, their stories won’t be of heroic landings by tens of thousands on forti¿ed beaches; they’ll be about patrols along dusty roads where death might lurk in a pothole around the next corner. The success of their missions won’t be measured in our ability to vote in free elections but in better access to education and an improved standard of living in faraway lands. For that, their sacri¿ce is no less deserving of our honour and respect.

‘Occupy’ is just another squat VICTORIA – A full three weeks after the Occupy Wall Street protest camp sprang up in New York City, a few stragglers announced they were almost ready to “Occupy Maple Ridge” and “Occupy Revelstoke.” Perhaps other pathetic protests are still being dreamed up around B.C. But most have already packed up, and in places such as Prince George, these anti-capitalist rallies never led to an illegal squat. Let’s be clear about our squats, the ones in Canada and particularly B.C. They are explicitly anticapitalist and statist in their message, which is presumably why they were funded by government unions. Despite the free food, power and porta-potties, these squats quickly became ¿lthy and dangerous as the chronic street drug population replaced the spoiled young drummers and hulahoopers who camped out to curse corporations on their iPhones. And yes, squats are still illegal here, following a unanimous October decision of the B.C. Court of Appeal against David Arthur Johnston.
Tom Fletcher tÁetcher@blackpress.ca
This pretend-homeless guy’s antics are at the root of the latest squatter outbreak. Victoria and its courts caved in to Johnston and allowed camping on public property at night. But he demanded 24-hour squatting rights, because some supposedly homeless people are supposedly insomniacs too. Turns out there were plenty of shelter beds on which to snooze away the day or night, and his vague claim of a constitutional right to camp on public property was summarily dismissed. I had a brief exchange with an Occupy Vancouver “organizer,” one Min Reyes, as she tried to rouse the reluctant radicals of Maple Ridge. Reyes de¿nes herself in her Twitter pro¿le as “Flirting with Anarchism while making love to Socialism,” which sums up B.C.’s occupy movement as well as

anything. “My personal approach to the analysis of society relies on Marx’s historical materialism,” Reyes writes on her blog. After majoring in Marxism at SFU, she moved on to BCIT’s journalism program, but dropped out after a couple of weeks because her studies “compromised my personal values.” Turns out BCIT is all about “skills” to get a “job.” Bummer. A glimpse of these “values” was on display when a reporter from CKNW radio tried to cover a heroin overdose at Occupy Vancouver. She was shouted down and accused of shaping the news to bene¿t “Coke and McDonalds.” At Occupy Victoria, which I visited a few times before it descended into another needle park, signs warned against “chem trails,” smart meters and corporations. Campers were urged to “nationalize ¿nance, energy and food” industries. Five-year plan for tractor production, anyone? Nationalizing banks is also at the top of Occupy Vancouver’s long, pretentious list of demands. Why is this stale leftist ideology so pervasive? Here’s a hint. The

union representing these kids’ teachers is demanding higher corporate taxes to pay for their typically self-serving, ¿nancially illiterate contract demands. Here in Victoria, as in Vancouver, the huge growth in shelter, food, clothing and transition housing service doesn’t impress the hardcore system users. Victoria’s mayor built his reputation with years of street outreach work, but he’s still targeted for the ugliest treatment, including vandalism at his family home. Victoria council even kowtowed by voting to “support” the squat next to city hall, where Johnston used to camp. Then they cut off the power and water, which had been commandeered rather than set up by city staff at taxpayers’ expense, as was the case in Vancouver. In B.C.’s most “progressive” cities, we’re getting used to encountering public areas fouled by vomit, feces and used needles. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press

Keep your eyes on the city’s parks Here’s something to think about for anyone planning to attend an all-candidates meeting: what are your feelings on council’s decision to dissolve the parks maintenance department? Council has decreed that engineering operations assume the duties and responsibilities once reserved for a very specialized group of workers. As it stands, the city’s playgrounds, parks, trails and structures will be maintained under the supervision of the sidewalk crew. Sports ¿elds will be under the jurisdiction of the animal control department. Horticulture and arboriculture were spared in the merger, but at the cost of losing the support services from the fellow parks employees they depend on. Council has cited “increased ef¿ciency” as the impetus for the change, but have instead introduced many new barriers to productivity. A simple radio call will now have to ¿lter its way through up to ¿ve new supervisors and managers before something gets done. What took ¿ve minutes before can now conceivably take two days. The “unnecessary duplication of duties” was also a concern for council, though outside the realm of snow removal, such a concern need not exist. Sure, our park attendants pick litter like the beat crew at engineering, but after that they paint, line-
trim, tend to the homeless, remove graf¿ti, bang nails and otherwise be the ¿rst line in responding to safety concerns in our parks. We have no counterparts at the engineering yard, for we have two distinct reasons for being; engineering makes the city work. We make it beautiful. In the weeks and months ahead, I encourage all residents to monitor the conditions of their favourite parks. At a time when our parks system is growing tremendously with all the projects in Queensborough and the Pier Park, we need more bodies, not less. NewWestPip, online comment newwestnewsleader.com
SAMARITANS AN INSPIRATION A very positive experience happened to me on Halloween Monday. I had left my wallet in the women’s washroom in Royal City Centre while trickor-treating with my four-year-old son. An hour later, while putting everything in the vehicle, I’d lost it. I felt instantly sick about it. I asked my friend to stay with the boys and ran as fast I could back to the women’s washroom but of course no wallet was there. I checked the garbage and nothing. I asked two security guards and they checked with the janitor on their radio. Nothing. I checked
customer service. The security guard gave me their telephone number to call back the next day in case someone turned it in, but said because the mall had been packed with kids, teenagers and adults all dressed for Halloween, it was unlikely I would get it back. Feeling awful and calling my husband to cancel the credit cards, I started to think of all the cards I had and all the calls I had to make to re-order them, etc.—it was de¿nitely putting a damper on what had been a fun day with my little guy and his little buddy. I was pulling in front of my house just as another car pulled in front of me. As I was getting out of my vehicle, a lovely couple came up to me and said my name. I looked at their hands as they were handing me something. I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was holding my driver’s licence and a business card and she was holding my wallet. They had actually delivered my wallet to my home. I was thrilled, hugging and thanking them over and over again for their kindness. Just when we think that people, strangers or not, cannot be trusted, we are blessed with this honesty and kindness of strangers. Thank you to the beautiful couple who took the time and effort. What an inspiration you are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Suzette Laqua, New Westminster
DITCHES SERVE A PURPOSE Re: Time for Action In Queensborough, Letters, NewsLeader, Nov. 2 I am happy to hear the incumbents were not quick to agree to covering the ditches in Queensborough. The reason “it takes longer than you think” is because the answer is not what Gavin Palmer and Sukh Sidhu want to hear. I am totally against covering the ditches. There are a number of people with a very good respect for the environment and the eco-system who live here. We, therefore, are not inclined to destroy the homes of the frogs, muskrats and ducks that share Queensborough. I can’t quite ¿gure out how ditches are hazards for cars and pedestrians. I have lived here for over 20 years and run, walk and cycle throughout the community regularly and am quite con¿dent that the potential hazards have nothing to do with the ditches. Though we are one community, we de¿nitely are divided when it comes to the drainage/ditches issue. The real problem is that people throw or leave garbage in the ditches. Perhaps Voice should look at creating a bylaw to make it mandatory to keep your ditch clean, similar to having to shovel your walk in front of your house when it snows. Darlene Welch, New Westminster

BUGGED? Several libraries in the reigon have faced temporary closures to deal with the discovery of bedbugs. Recently, two Burnaby branches dealt with the insect, and just two weeks ago, they were found at New Westminster public library. Patrons visiting there last week were asked their thoughts.

...Says he uses the library four times a week, when he heard about the bedbugs, “I was surprised, I was shocked, I couldn’t believe the bed bugs got into books.” Says the presence of bed bugs in the library makes him think twice about borrowing books.
...Says the bedbug infestation at New Westminster library has given him “very minor pause” when using the library, but it is in the back of his mind. He says it’s a very limited outbreak so he’s not too worried.
...Says when she heard there were bedbugs in the library, “you got a bit of a scare, but they’ve looked at all the books,” and she’s conÀdent the problem is under control. She is taking a closer look at the books she takes home to make sure they’re not infested.
...Says he uses the library a lot, “but I didn’t think the library would be a place where they’d Ànd bedbugs, they’re supposed to be in beds, not books.”
McEvoy wants task force continued
from PAGE A3
“They’re in apartments, hotels, hospitals, and now they’re in our libraries,” said McEvoy. “Anyone can get bed bugs, from a typical rental apartment to high end condos and homes.” McEvoy said in New York, the problem has gotten so bad the city formed a Bedbug Task Force to deal with the issue. He believes the Fraser Health Authority should follow suit, and intends to present a motion to council asking Fraser Health to do so.
Michelet, who is the handler for bedbug-snif¿ng beagle Vegas, said his dog sees his work as much as a chance to eat as an opportunity to work. In a demonstration, Vegas was quick to ¿nd the live bedbugs inside vials hidden inside a roomful of furniture at Care Pest’s of¿ces. Each time he sniffs out a bug, he sits, pointing his noise at the source. With each successful detection, he gets a bite of kibble. The four dogs used by Care Pest are trained in Florida and are all smaller breeds—beagle (Vegas and Ranger), terrier cross (Duke) and whippetbeagle cross (Sky)—since they’re less threatening to clients who are then more willing to use them, Michelet said. In the worst cases, it appears the dog isn’t even necessary, as he shows photos on his cellphone of a side of a bed absolutely covered with the bugs. In that case, the boy whose bed it was is among the 50 per cent of people who don’t react to bedbug bites, so he never noticed the bugs which were on the side of the bed against a wall. It was a neighbour two suites over who ¿rst complained. Then there’s the other extreme. Michelet once was called to a house of a woman convinced she had bedbugs. She was itching and scratching and found dark spots on her bed which turned out to be lint. The dog didn’t ¿nd anything, and requested repeated inspections. When the woman ¿nally went to the doctor she was diagnosed her with scabies. “I’m glad to know all my dogs were right,” he said with a laugh.

POPPY FOR REMEMBRANCE
LEST WE FORGET REMEMBER NOVEMBER 11TH WHY THE POPPY PROGRAM? There are four good reasons for the Poppy Program. 1. To remind us of the dreadful cost of war and to encourage us to settle further disputes by non-violent means. 2. To keep alive the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for peace. 3. To remind Canadians of our responsibilities to those who died, to the disabled, and to dependents of those who served.
THOMAS COLBECK Branch of Service: R.C.A.F Bomber Command Unit: 514 &90 Squadron Years of Service: 1941 Served Conflicts: WWII Medals Awarded: Regular I joined the RCAF in July 1941, I started out as a Airfame Mechanic. I was in the Queen Charlotte Islands when Pearl Harbour was bombed. I finished my Air Frame in Saskatoon. I then re-mustered to Air Crew and finished the course and went over to England on the Queen Mary. After flying many planes I was sent to #514 Squadron flying Lancasters. After a mid air collision, â&#x20AC;&#x153;only two got out,â&#x20AC;? I went back to my Squadron. While I was in sick bay, the King and Queen came along with their daughter, she was very slim and a beautiful sweet 16. I then went to #90 Squadron near Mildenhall. After 29 raids I was repatriated, I was sent home on the Ile de France. When I got home I received my Commission - 36 years as a Vancouver fire fighter. I belong to Legion 83 and the Aircrew Association. I will be 90 years old next year!

WAIT FOR ME DADDY While looking at the famous photograph “Wait for Me, Daddy” taken in New Westminster in 1940, I envisioned what it might have felt like for the soldiers as they left for war. The courage of leaving for an unknown future is expressed in my poem. I also considered the courage of the wives and family members left behind to wait for the soldiers to come back home and wrote, also from the “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph, a poem from the viewpoint of the main woman in this image taken in 1940. ~ Susan McLeod Susan’s poems may be found on the following pages
Painting submitted by Irene LaCharite of New West. Artists. Inspired by the famous “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph
Wait for Me, Daddy is a photo taken by Claude P. Dettloff on October 1, 1940, of The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifles) marching down Eighth Street at the Columbia Avenue intersection, New Westminster, Canada. While Dettloff was taking the photo, Warren “Whitey” Bernard ran away from his mother to his father, Private Jack Bernard. The picture received extensive exposure and was used in war-bond drives. In honour of those who fought and in support of those who are fighting. Jim Harasymchuk WWII, William Stevens WWII, Victor Wierzbicki WWII, George Stevens WWI

RE-ELECT BETTY McINTOSH TO COUNCIL LEAVING NEW WESTMINSTER
THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO GAVE US FREEDOM
Inspired by the famous “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph October, 1940: New Westminster streets are grey, I’m in a line of soldiers marching off to war today. I’m leaving home and family, afraid of what’s in store, But need to serve my country, overshadows fear of war. The sacrifice of leaving makes emotions hard to hide. For liberty and duty, I will risk my life with pride. Believing what I do will save the precious things in life, For this I leave my comfort and my safety, and my wife. I hear a voice that’s calling “Daddy, wait!” and with surprise I turn and see my little boy with eager loving eyes. He’s running to his father for the love he needs so much. I’m not a soldier for the moment, reaching for his touch.

My life will change forever, but I need to do my part. In Canada is everything, and here I leave my heart. With pain and longing, fear and hope, I leave to meet my fate. Until we fight to Victory, my family must wait. October, 1940: New Westminster says goodbye. Down the slope of Eighth Street, all emotions running high.

In honour of those who gave ... BERNICE BERNARD AND “WHITEY” WAIT FOR DADDY
we remember.
Inspired by the famous “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph I’m the mother of a five-year old who’s tugging on my hand. He’s been looking for his father and he doesn’t understand Why the men are dressed as soldiers and why every face is long, And the lines of men keep coming…Whitey pulls to join along. We’ve been waiting here all morning and I hope my Jack is near. I see fathers, sons and husbands and their wives hold back a tear. And when finally we see him he has almost passed us by! Whitey wrenches from my grasp and runs to Daddy with a cry! Several men can’t help but smile as the spell of gloom departs. It’s rewarding watching children and the meeting of two hearts. And although the day has sadness with departure of our men I will pray to God almighty they will soon be back again. “I will hold you in our memories with stories every day, And will keep your picture prominent so love won’t fade away. And though troubles may come calling, I will meet them at the gate, You must never give up hope, because your family will wait.” Submitted by Susan McLeod

EDWARD F. VOELLMECKE
LESLIE C. HEMPSALL Branch of Service: Royal Canadian Air Force Unit: 435 Transport Squadron Hempsall and his crew of pilot, second pilot, navigator and wireless operator were posted for transport duty in Burma, then occupied by the Japanese army. They became members of one of two Canadian transport squadrons formed to supply Allied troops driving the Japanese troops out of Burma. Their first operation was to deliver 665 gallons of gasoline by parachute drop to a dropping zone just behind the Allied line of battle. For the next 10 months, squadron crews flew up to six sorties per day as the troops forced the Japanese to retreat from their occupied positions. 435 Squadron was disbanded and the crews returned to Canada. Hempsall, now with the rank of Flight Lieutenant, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and was mentioned in Despatches. He is currently retired and living in White Rock, British Columbia.
Remember Together
Submitted by NewsLeader staff member Annie Sarazin Edwin F. Voellmecke, my stepfather, was born on March 27, 1924 on a farm 9 miles from Muenster, Saskatchewan. He attended St. Peter’s College near Muenster. Ed joined the forces at the tender age of 17 and served for the next 33 years. He trained as a pilot of single engine airplanes at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan in the Royal Canadian Air Force and then took further training in Saskatoon to fly twin engine planes. Ed went on to become a flight instructor for the RAF. During WWII Major Ed Voellmecke was part of the ‘Royal Canadian Air Force Ferry Command’ headquartered at the Dorval Airport in Montreal. He flew the larger planes, the Lancaster, the Ventura and Mitchell needed in the war effort from Dorval to Prestwick, Scotland. On his return to Canada he often flew the wounded back. Ed was with the Royal Canadian Airforce Ferry Command (established in 1940) from 1942-43. While in the service Ed was stationed in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. The Royal Canadian Airforce Ferry Command precipitated the commercial airline service proving that transatlantic flights for larger planes was possible! For more information go to www.airforces. gc.ca about the Royal Canadian Air Force Ferry Command and its’ role in the WWII effort. Today, Ed lives happily with his lovely wife Veronica in Ottawa.

In remembrance of the veterans who fought for our freedom.
May we prove their lives’ worth the sacrifice.

LOC LÁ DYRXU Re-Up settles down T
Ingredients 1/4 lb Re-Up Bacon 1 cup white sugar 1/4 cup water 1/3 cup whipping cream 3 cups homogenized milk 1/2 cup demerera sugar 1/4 cup corn starch
1 teaspoon sea salt 4 large egg yolks 4 oz unsalted butter, in small cubes 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon bourbon whiskey 4 gala apples
Method FOR THE BACON BITS Set your oven to 170 F Chop the bacon as small as you can and fry it on medium low heat, stirring frequently, until very crispy. Strain as much fat as possible and spread the crispy bits on a cookie sheet lined with paper towel. Put in the oven to dry. For extra crispy bacon bits you have to leave them over night. Once the bits are as crispy as you want them, take them out of the oven, pat them dry with paper towel and transfer to a dry container for them to cool down and dry. (If not using them right away, put in an air tight container once they are cool)

New Westminster. The renowned food cart that warms the bellies of business people and tourists in downtown Vancouver every day with its pulled pork and brisket sandwiches served from two mobile trailers is opening its Àrst stationary outlet at the River Market at Westminster Quay. And it’s looking to its legions of loyal customers to help ease the expansion. Re-Up, which will continue to operate its wildly successful downtown carts, is crowdsourcing Ànancial support for its new venture. In exchange for putting up $500, members of the “Re-Up Founding Crew” will get an annual credit of $100 to spend at their downtown carts or at the New West restaurant, a yearly supply of 10 lbs. of their bacon, brined in bourbon, chili and beer, and an invitation to their annual Labour Day barbecue party that will move to the River Market location beginning in 2012. There’s also opportunity for more modest Ànancial pledges through the crowdsourcing website indiegogo. com, just search for Re-Up. Those supporters will also be rewarded with tasty treats, says Lindsay Ferguson, one of Re-up’s four owners. “It helps us develop community and we get to know our customers better,” says Ferguson of the unconventional Ànancing plan. “If we can give our customers back double or triple their investment with what we do best, that’s much more exciting than just

Add this mixture to the caramel pot, whisking constantly until mixed well. Put the pot back on medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat and whisk in vanilla, bourbon and the butter, 1 or 2 cubes at a time. Pour into a pan or into individual cups and chill for at least 5 hours. FOR SERVING -If in a big pan, scoop pudding out with a warm spoon. -Sprinkle bacon bits on top and serve with fresh slices of apple for dipping.

Taking a seat for good health Low impact chair exercise enhances well being and overall health and Àtness The colourful, soft balls sail through the air at Confederation Seniors Centre in Burnaby, landing in outstretched hands amidst chuckles of delight. But it’s not a game being played. It’s exercise. To the casual observer, tossing neon-bright balls, stretching rubbery bands and wiggling the ¿ngers may not seem like a strenuous workout, but when you’re 90 years old and dealing with health issues like Parkinsons or recovering from a broken hip, every little bit helps. That’s the idea behind the gentle chair exercise session that is held every Tuesday at the Centre, one of its Seniors Active in Living (SAIL) drop-in wellness programs. The gentle exercise sessions, which are conducted by Doreen Player, accompanied by soft music, are part of a pilot program in collaboration with Fraser Health and the Burnaby Health Department to encourage housebound seniors to get out into the community, stay limber, maybe get a foot massage or their blood pressure checked and

enjoy the company of others. Player says they’ve been a rousing success. Most sessions are packed, some seniors traveling with their caregivers from as far away as Kitsilano.
Nobody leaves with a frown. “The aches and pains of daily life disappear,” says Player. “The social aspect is even more important than the physical aspect.”
As she’s dealing with seniors with varying degrees of frailty, Player keeps her exercises simple and with no impact. The workout regime was designed with input from doctors to provide maximum bene¿t with minimal risk. Kinesiology students from Simon Fraser University are often on hand to help out, and learn about the aging population at the same time. For many of the seniors, the reward for their 30-minute workout is lunch in the cafeteria at Confederation Centre, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. The SAIL program has been around for exactly half that time, launching in 1991 with a health fair and weekly drop-in visits from retired nurses and doctors. Burnaby’s other seniors centres have followed suit, and the four programs are able to pool their resources as “Burnaby partners in seniors wellness.” The Confederation Seniors Centre and SAIL will be celebrating their joint anniversaries on Nov. 21, from 2-4:30 p.m. The centre is at 4585 Albert St. in North Burnaby. newsroom@newwestnewsleader.com

A: Did you know that the risk of falls is one of the most serious healthcare risks a senior can face? And that it is also one of the most ignored? If you don’t believe this, here are a few numbers: • One in three seniors will fall this year • Eighty-¿ve per cent of injury-related hospital admissions among seniors are from falls • Ninety per cent of hip fractures are from falls • Twenty per cent of seniors who suffer a hip fracture from a fall die within one year

When you have to get up from bed (midnight bathroom break or getting up for the day) – turn on your lamp. Sit up with your legs over the side of the bed. Count for 12 seconds. This a great chance to scan the Àoor for any clutter. Stand up after a full 12 seconds. Bubble pack your medications. With a basket full of pills in bottles that all look the same, along with a schedule that includes taking certain pills with food and others at different times of the day, it is easy to become perplexed.

WINTER MARKET MOVES TO RIVER MARKET
OPEN HOUSE You’re Invited! Please join Ledingham McAllister and its design team at a Public Open House to discuss the redevelopment of 414 – 422 Royal Avenue. An application has been submitted to the City to construct a multi-family residential building with approximately 124 homes. Ledingham McAllister looks forward to the opportunity to meet with the neighbourhood to discuss the Dominion project and answer questions you may have.
Date: Monday, November 21, 2011 Time: 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm (drop-in) Location: The Church Hall, Holy Trinity Cathedral, 514 Carnarvon Street SUBJECT SITE : 0.80 acres 414 - 422 ROYAL AVENUE, NEW WESTMINSTER, BC
MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER
Shoppers look for unique items at the Àrst winter farmer’s market at the River Market at Westminster Quay on Saturday. The market is run by the Royal City Farmers Market Society.
LOC L tweets @NewWestNews Single-stream recycling in #newwest coming in January, city says. No separation! More to come... @matthewlaird Boooo! “Singlestream recycling in #newwest coming in January” @BettyM13 lets hope more diversion from garbage from many more residents as the easier method to recycle @matthewlaird But it makes a lower quality of recycling product where a lot more “recycling” goes to landÀll.
Candidates quizzed
Please note: this is not the location of the Open House
The environment is a hot political topic these days, so New Westminster Environmental Partners put some heavy-duty questions on the topic to candidates in the upcoming civic election. NWEP circulated a questionnaire with seven queries about such topics as sustainability, transportation, trees and solid waste management. All four candidates for mayor responded and 12 of the 17 for city council also gave their views. They were permitted 350 words to answer each question.
For further information, please contact Cameron Thorn of Ledingham McAllister at 604.662.3700 or cthorn@ledmac.com
“We’ve heard some candidates found the questions challenging. We’re glad to hear that, these are tough issues that don’t have simple sound-bite answers,” said NWEP director Matthew Laird. “Ensuring we have a council that grasps the complexity and depth of these issues is vital to a sustainable and prosperous New Westminster.” The full questionnaire and candidates’ answers are available at nwep.ca/election-2011-candidatesurvey. Answers sorted by question topic are at www.tenthtothefraser.ca.

Retiree interrupts work
Q
: This may sound rather heartless, but a retired employee comes around quite often and interrupts us. He is a great guy but his visits can be annoying. What can we do to discourage him?
You say he is “a great guy” which presumably means he is not self-absorbed and emotionally needy; this should make any communication regarding this issue somewhat less challenging. One informal option would be to identify his friend and encourage him or her to share the It’s an extremely sensitive matter because he concerns of the of¿ce.
