no shortage of the latter. Created by novelist Ian Fleming in 1953, the suave, sardonic, sartorially splendid super spy has spawned 23 movies, the latest of which, Skyfall, is being released on Friday. Despite being portrayed over the years by seven different actors with varying degrees of sophistication, smugness and satire, Bond has endured all manner of threats to global peace and security, triumphed over a multitude of diabolical villains. He’s “classic” and “timeless,” says Balfour who’s seen all the Bond

movies. “You can watch it as a kid and you don’t really know what’s going on.” Especially between the sheets. There’s no doubt Bond has a way with the ladies, loving and leaving them as he battles malevolence; sometimes they’re even one and the same. He is, says Balfour, “the ultimate bad boy.” “You wonder who’s going to tame that guy, but it never ends well.” Balfour counts Sean Connery’s six-film run as a dark, introspective Bond as her favourite. But the current version, played by a
brooding, hard-edged Daniel Craig, is moving up the charts. “A Bond movie is an event,” says Balfour, who’s hoping her guests will dress up as their best Bond character. She’ll have plenty of poker chips and punch martinis on hand, and the evening will be topped by a screening of the 1981 Bond film For Your Eyes Only, starring Roger Moore. The James Bond Supper Club begins at 6:30 p.m. For more information and to RSVP, visit: www.facebook.com/pages/NewVeganminster-Project.

Historic swag lights on Columbia Street lamps evoking visions of New Westminster’s Golden Mile are in the works. On Monday, council was being asked to approve issuing a request for proposals (RFP) to build the replica lights from Fourth to Eighth streets. It’s estimated between 12 and 18 swag lights would be needed to achieve the desired effect. A staff report said the cost would be determined through the RFP process. The report also asked council to approve an interim holiday lighting plan that would include, for the first time, the rental and installation of a 38-foot sculptured Christmas tree for Hyack Square as well as lighted garland pole wraps. They would come at a cost of $7,690 plus HST, said the report, with the Downtown New Westminster Business Improvement Association contributing $2,500 for the tree. please see LIGhTING, A5

Police seek home invasion suspects A violent home invasion on Friday, Oct. 26 has New Westminster police seeking three suspects. The NWPD says two men and a woman forced their way into a residence in the 600-block of Third Avenue about 7:30 p.m. They were armed with a handgun and an unknown blunt object. They threatened the occupants and at one point struck one of them with what is believed to have been a hammer. The victim was taken to hospital after the suspects fled. They have not been found or identified, but police don’t believe it was a random incident. The female suspect is described as being
Caucasian, in her mid 20s, about five-foot-eight with a thin, medium build, dark hair and wearing a dark hoodie. One of the men is described as being in his early to mid-30s, five-footseven, thin, with a dirty blond crewcut, and wearing a dark hoodie and dark sweatpants. The other is in his late 20s, about six-footone, thin, and wearing a grey hoodie with an off-white pattern around the hood. They were seen fleeing in an older model darkcoloured, four-door vehicle. Anyone with information on the incident should contact Sgt. Rob Boyd or Det. Const. Elmario Cahambing of the NWPD

New Westers caught in Manhattan mayhem during Sandy Grant Granger
ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com
A year ago, Brandon Goodwin was feeling fortunate to have a lacrosse scholarship to ASA College Manhattan in New York City. Now he’s feeling even more fortunate, even though he spent last week living off soup and ramen noodles. There’s never a dull moment living in the middle of Manhattan, and Goodwin loves it. But the drama went to the extreme last week when Goodwin thought he’d been dropped onto the set of the science fiction weather disaster film The Day After Tomorrow. “Monday and Tuesday I’ve never seen a city like this so dead. It was a ghost town. Wednesday it was a bit more (busy) but it was
still unreal,” said Goodwin via cellphone from Manhattan on Friday. “We went for a walk the night of the storm on the East River. It was pretty crazy.” The day before the storm he and his roommates went looking for food. They couldn’t find any bread, milk, eggs or any other basics. “We were left with grabbing pita bread.” When he arrived last year, the college put him up in an apartment on 13th Street. This year, Goodwin, fellow New Westminster secondary grads Blake Duncan and Reid Mydske, and three other teammates moved into an 1,100-square-foot flat on 89th Street. Although it has just three bedrooms and only one bathroom, Goodwin and the gang

were happy campers. That’s because Superstorm Sandy made mincemeat out of their previous neighbourhood, leaving it waterlogged and without electricity. However, Goodwin and the guys were able to weather the storm without losing
power, although the only television they seemed to get was from Spanish language stations. With classes cancelled at the campus on 34th Street at the Avenue of the Americas, the subway shut down and debris all over the place, they couldn’t go

very far. This past weekend, the apartment got even more crowded when three friends who were staying a block away from Goodwin’s previous residence were still without power. “Everything below 50th took a beating,” said Goodwin, who had 11 goals and 20 points in six playoff games after racking up 46 points in 13 regular season games for the New Westminster Jr. Salmonbellies this summer. “My buddy went to stay with his girlfriend and he said it was unreal. The building was split in half, the whole base had come off.” It was a weird week for Goodwin’s father Steve, too. He was in Hawaii for a seniors lacrosse tournament

when the team was warned about the possibility of a tsunami from the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that hit Haida Gwaii on the night of Saturday, Oct. 28. But it wasn’t long after that fear disappeared when they started hearing about the havoc Sandy was wreaking on the east coast of the United States. “I don’t think everybody knew the scope of how bad it would be until the aftermath,” said the New Westminster realtor after his return. Weather hazards aside, pop Goodwin is a little envious of his son. “He lives the life. I’m from New Westminster, I’m still in New Westminster and will be forever, and he’s there. That doesn’t seem right,” joked father Goodwin.

Police warn of scam A purse theft that turned into a scam has New Westminster police issuing a warning for the public to keep their personal information safe. NWPD say a purse was stolen from a vehicle in front of the owner’s residence on Oct. 22. Shortly after she discovered the theft she got a phone call from a blocked number. The man at the other end said he was a police officer and had arrested the suspect.
He then said he was transferring her to the security section of her bank. That’s when a woman’s voice came on the phone and convinced the victim to reveal her personal identification number for her bank cards so they could be replaced. New West police arrived a little while later and discovered the call was a sham. The department advises against leaving valuable items in vehicles and to remove all possessions when parking, including shopping bags, spare

The incident is believed to have been a targeted shooting but major crime unit investigators believe the occupants of the suites were not the intended targets. There were no injuries in the incident.

The city also intends to decorate City Hall, Twelfth and East Columbia streets, and put up Christmas trees in Moody Park and at Herbert Spencer elementary. The Uptown Property Group would be responsible for pole-mounted lighting for Sixth Street. In addition, the report said the city has suspended an RFP process for developing a decorative lighting plan for the city. Four proposals had been received, but in reviewing them city staff determined the proposed planning process could be broken up into two distinct parts. Staff would do the first phase talking to the community and identifying locations, themes and projects, and consultants would be in charge of the second phase, developing detailed concepts. Staff have pinpointed nine locations that would form the core of the plan—Columbia Street Downtown, Westminster Pier Park, Hyack Square, City Hall, Uptown Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue, East Columbia, Twelfth Street and Ewen Avenue in Queensborough.

Proposed 2013 utility rate increases have caused some concern for New Westminster city council. The rise that was particularly alarming to Coun. Bill Harper was the proposed boost of 9.4 per cent in sewer rates. The Greater Vancouver Sewerage and Drainage District is boosting its rates by 9.3 per cent, and it’s projected it will continue to rise five per cent a year to help cover funding major upgrades to its Iona, Lions Gate and Annacis Island sewage treatment facilities. “That’s huge,” said Harper. “And we’ve just gone through the last five years where [Metro Vancouver] has been ratcheting the rates up 12 to 17 per cent. Now we have utility costs rivaling our property tax. What I would like to see us do is have a workshop on this matter, to have a detailed analysis and presentation to give us a lot better indication of the acceleration process.” In addition to the Metro Vancouver rate increase, senior governments are mandating
municipalities separate their storm and liquid waste sewers. “Our aging infrastructure requires significant investments,” city utilities engineer Catalin Dobrescu told council Monday. Harper said New Westminster is taking the full brunt of the provincial decision because it is one of the few cities not to have separate systems. Dobrescu said Burnaby is almost finished its separation while Vancouver is predicted to finish ahead of New West. As an example, he provided a picture of a sewer collapse on 12th Street due to grease buildup that cost $100,000 to repair. Solid waste rates were proposed by staff to go up 4.5 per cent to address inflationary costs for tipping fees and as partial payment for the purchase of garbage carts in previous years. The report said the rates are projected to increase by 4.5 per cent every year until 2017 when it’s expected the totes will be paid off. It’s proposed water utility rates go up by 3.5 per
cent to reflect not only the increases in cost from the Greater Vancouver Water District but to also address replacing the city’s aging water infrastructure. The city’s financial department is expecting New Westminster’s water user rates will increase between 5.2 and 8.4 per cent from 2014 to 2017 to cover projected higher water supply and capital replacement costs. The lowest proposed rate hike is 1.44 per cent for electrical. That’s to cover an increase proposed by BC Hydro, the city’s supplier of electricity, to go into effect on April 1, 2013. But based on preliminary figures from Hydro, user fees are anticipated to go up by five per cent between 2014 and 2017. Council approved the proposed increases in principle Monday. Finance director Gary Holowatiuk said the general fund budget and proposed property tax increases will be brought before council in January.
Three ’borough lots to be sold City council is being asked to approve the sale of three unserviced vacant lots in Queensborough for more than $900,000. Simran Construction has offered to buy the properties on Hampton Street for $308,000 each. A report that will go before council on Monday said the properties are considered surplus to the city’s needs. “These offers are within $7,000 (2.2 per cent) of the appraised value and the city’s appraiser considers this an acceptable offer,” said the report. It also noted Simran is developing a Jardine Street property just south of the Hampton Street lots.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
A question of honour
LAST WEEK:
On Sunday many of us will gather around cenotaphs and in city squares for solemn ceremonies paying tribute to Canada’s service men and women. We’ll hear words like sacrifice and honour, some of them uttered by politicians. But for some veterans they’ll ring hollow. In 2006, Parliament unanimously passed the New Veterans Charter that changed the way injured soldiers are compensated. Instead of a lifetime pension, indexed to inflation, veterans injured after that year, or who had their injury diagnosed since then, would get a lump sum settlement. But some injured veterans, like Burnaby’s Kevin Berry, say Canadian soldiers injured in Afghanistan, and those suffering the lingering mental and emotional effects of their tour, are getting substantially less support than they would have received with the former indexed pension. A study by Queen’s University last year concluded most disabled soldiers will receive only twothirds the compensation under the New Veterans Charter than they would have received from the old Pension Act. Recently Canada’s AuditorGeneral criticized the Canadian Forces and Veterans Affairs for their shoddy treatment of injured veterans, saying the system to get them help is “complex, lengthy and challenging to navigate.” Even in death, the indignities continue. A program that is supposed to contribute just over $3,600 to the funeral costs for destitute ex-soldiers has rejected more than two-thirds of funding requests since 2006. Even when approved, that money is still less than some social services departments will pay towards the burial of the homeless. It’s one thing for Canada’s politicians to honour our veterans. It’s another to treat them with honour.

A real smart meter manipulation VICTORIA – Two very different scenes unfolded at opposite ends of the province last week. In the remote northwest corner of B.C., the first power line towers started going up to connect Highway 37 communities to the BC Hydro grid. The Nisga’a, Tahltan and other aboriginal communities will soon have reliable power, as well as much-needed training and jobs during clearing and construction. Meanwhile down on the Gulf Islands, the most hysterical, dishonest campaign against smart meters I’ve heard of so far went into high gear. I’ve obtained a mass e-mail from the head anti-smart meter organizer on Salt Spring Island that shows the mentality at work here. (Corix is the BC Hydro contractor that has installed more than a million meters and has approached the Gulf Islands with trepidation, the last area of B.C. to be done.) “Corix is attacking with 30 trucks on Mon the 22nd,” Chris Anderson wrote in October. “Poelpe [sic] are advised NOT to

attend the Victoria pipeline rally but instead help defend agianst [sic] spymeter installations in their neighbourhoods.” Anderson’s self-appointed supporters fanned out across the island, attempting to turn away installers on the false assumption that everyone has fallen for their crackpot fear campaign. They managed to stop 12 per cent of the installations. Coincidentally, Anderson has been doing a brisk business selling $35 meter locks to gullible Salt Spring Islanders in recent months. They don’t work, and you’re not allowed to lock BC Hydro property anyway. Others have been sold official-looking “no smart meter” signs that don’t identify the customer, so they don’t work either. As for the term “spymeter,” I’ve reported on the weird

theories spread by Bill Vander Zalm in a video interview, where he claims smart meters are part of a global surveillance system that can even tell what you’re cooking. Vander Zalm has been outdone by one Brian Thiesen, who styles himself as the “chairman” of “Interior Smart Meter Awareness.” In September, the Merritt Herald reported on Theisen’s presentation to 20 unwary people in a church basement. He claimed wireless meters not only provide video surveillance of your house, they are also responsible for “dying bees” and “defective sperm and eggs” as well as disease and fires. Thiesen even claimed radio frequency signals can “pull your PIN number directly out of your head.” Is there no limit to the nonsense some people will fall for? Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis co-authored a study that shows residential fires have decreased with the advent of smart meters. Which brings me to the ugliest opposition to this modernization, the criminal element.

Here in North America’s marijuana mecca, installers have encountered many meter bypasses, wired up to steal hydro and conceal high consumption for grow ops. In addition to being illegal, they are a fire hazard that is removed when discovered. Installers also find more sophisticated cases of hydro theft. Removing the mechanical meter reveals a hole cut in the back of the case, so the dials can be turned back to hide a grow op’s power consumption. No wonder some people want to lock them down. Of course all of this is defeated by a smart grid system, so the growers and other crooks are angry. A BC Hydro official told me about one case where a user was told he had a bypass, and that it was being removed. His bill went from next to nothing to a reasonable level. The customer complained to the media, falsely inflating the amount of his bill and blaming an inaccurate smart meter.

Maybe lower 12th should be car-friendly Re: City seeks to beautify lower 12th Things that make sense: taking an area that has a quoted, “car culture” and making it pedestrian friendly. How about making an area with a car culture, car friendly? Maybe New West doesn’t need one more pedestrian friendly centre for shopping, when Columbia, Sixth and Sixth, upper 12th and the Brewery District are all doing the same thing? Maybe its an industrial area that should have as a focus... industry? When I see that area—and yes, I see it’s underdeveloped—I see an area that should have industry-focused businesses that cater to creating and sustaining jobs where people can work/own a business in the same city they live in. Isn’t that a goal? Can it be? Trevor Hughes —online comment newwestnewsleader.com

CHANGE OF REGIME NEEDED Re: Some things are best placed on the board table (Letters, NewsLeader, Nov. 2) Well, not much has changed at the New Westminster school district since the last November election. There’s been another jolting announcement of bad news (this time it was a “surprise” $2.8 million deficit). Next, trustee Michael Ewen proclaimed
s
t
the district to be in “great shape” (Letters, Oct. 24) and then trustee Lisa Graham followed up with a more realistic assessment of the situation (Letters, Oct. 26). Interestingly, this time, a third trustee chimed in, new trustee Jonina Campbell. In a patronizing letter (reminiscent of Ewen’s style), the first-term trustee admonished an unnamed colleague for making public comment on board issues away from the board table. Methinks she doth protest too much. Publicly elected trustees should publicly address the issues that feed the ongoing dysfunction of the New Westminster School Board. How else are issues to be resolved, in secret, behind closed doors? When three new trustees were elected to the school board during the last election there was hope that the dysfunction and divisiveness at the board Wednesday, October 31, 2012 NewsLeader A11

table would cease but alas, sadly, Campbell’s letter makes it clear that the divisiveness and dysfunction remain. In response to the recent flurry of public correspondence from trustees, it was suggested that the New Westminster and Burnaby school districts amalgamate (Letters, Oct. 31), the salient point being “... if you keep doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.” Amalgamation would certainly be one way to end the taxpayers’ woes but there is another option. In the next election, voters could end the longrunning dynasty of the labour-endorsed trustees and instead vote in a Voice New Westminster majority. On a related matter, with a $2.8 million deficit, I don’t think the school district purse can afford a high-priced spin-doctor to “communicate” good news to the public right now (“Charting a new path for SD40,” Column,
NewsLeader, Oct. 19). I wonder how many school district staff or program resources would need to be cut to create this new “sunshine” position? Terry Hilmar New Westminster
WHY FAVOUR ONE NEIGHBOURHOOD OVER THE OTHER? Re: Caution urged on subdivisions (NewsLeader, Oct. 26) I read with bemusement some of the comments in regards to proposed guidelines on subdividing large single-family lots. Councillors Chuck Puchmayr and Jaimie McEvoy’s comments in respect of Queen’s Park were particularly galling: Puchmayr said “having the guidelines could pave the way for some large heritage properties in that area to be subdivided” and McEvoy said “the guidelines could make it economical for heritage home properties to be torn down for subdivision.” I note that they did not

show any such concern about developers coming in to redevelop lower Sapperton (one of the oldest single-family neighbourhoods in the Lower Mainland) after they allowed a precedent-setting change to the OCP in this neighbourhood. The city has effectively signaled to the development community that they will allow the OCP to be changed one house at a time.

PUBLIC NOTICE
Regarding Untreated Hearing Loss.
Is Your Child Safe When Grandpa Can’t Hear?
Finally! Your long-awaited romantic weekend getaway with your spouse is near. Reservations confirmed? Check. Dancing shoes packed? Check. Babysitter lined up? Check. Grandma and Grandpa, who better? Better recheck that babysitter before you head out the door. Before you hire a stranger, you are going to investigate them pretty carefully, aren’t you? But your folks usually get a pass, even if they don’t hear so well. After all, they love your kids and whose hearing isn’t going downhill? The current statistics from the Better Hearing Institute are that one in six baby boomers have hearing loss and 3 in 10 of people over 65 have hearing loss; seniors in their 80's have greater than a 50% incidence of hearing loss. However, keep in mind that these statistics don’t tell the whole story. Almost everyone knows
at least one person who has a hearing loss that is affecting communications but resolutely refuses to acknowledge or do anything about it. If your child’s babysitter is one of the 24 million people who need hearing aids and don’t have them, there could be serious problems. Effective caregivers need to be environmentally vigilant to assure the safety of your child; the ability to hear is a key component in assuring the safety of your child. The risks of not hearing a smoke or carbon monoxide detector, an intruder, or a child crying in the backyard could be fatal or result in an injury. Spending too much time speech reading while driving can cause a crash, as can failing to hear a siren. Older children have been known to take advantage of an adult’s hearing loss to get “permission” to do something the adult wouldn’t agree to if they understood what the child said. Before heading out for that weekend, consider this: General Child Care A 66-year-old man was aggravated that his wife dragged him in to a hearing evaluation, and decided that he did not need the amplification the

audiologist recommended. (His wife just didn’t talk right.) 18 months later he was back. While watching his three-yearold grandson, the child had opened the screen door of the living room while his grandfather was there and wandered down the street. A neighbour found and returned him, and the family forced him to get his hearing checked and get amplification if he was ever again to sit with his beloved grandson. After reluctantly getting his hearing aids, he returned two days later, laughing and shaking his head. “What a fool I have been. This is not bad at all.” If you or a loved one has difficulty hearing, please call Beltone on Hastings 604-569-1162 for a complimentary hearing evaluation.

VICTORIA – Merritt-area rancher Judith Guichon was sworn in Friday as B.C.’s 29th Lieutenant Governor. Guichon and her husband Bruno Mailloux were welcomed to the B.C. legislature with a blessing by Lottie Lindley, elder of the Upper Nicola Band of the Okanagan Nation. Guichon, 65, succeeds Steven Point, who completed his term Thursday. She is the second female Lieutenant Governor in B.C. history, following former MP Iona Campagnolo, who preceded Point. In her inaugural speech, Guichon said she will carry on the work of her predecessors, including support for literacy and reconciliation with aboriginal people in B.C. As owner of the historic Gerard Guichon Ranch on the shore of Nicola Lake and a former president of the B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, she vowed to continue her work as a “steward of the land. “Many of the first ranchers, including the Guichon family, came to British Columbia 150 years ago, chasing their dreams of gold,” Guichon said. “As I tell the students who visit the ranch, they came for the gold, but they stayed for the grass.” Guichon and her late husband Lawrence Guichon are credited with introducing holistic management to the B.C. cattle industry, emphasizing preservation of natural grassland. She intends to make that approach a theme for her term. “As generations become further removed from an agrarian lifestyle, and as we lose community, I fear that civil society becomes less civil,” Guichon said. “It is at our peril that the great cities of the world forget that civilization relies on the health of the soil upon which it rests.” Guichon was also inducted into the Order of B.C., with the title of chancellor that is given to every Lieutenant Governor. Lieutenants Governor are appointed by the Governor General on the recommendation of prime ministers. They serve five-year terms as the Queen’s representative in each province, declaring new legislation and performing ceremonial duties around the province.
Cyber-bully fears run high: poll About 23 per cent of B.C. teens have been victims of cyber-bullying, according to a new survey of parents. The online poll of 504 B.C. adults by West-6S Marketing found widespread concern about cyber-bullying, with 89 per cent very or somewhat concerned. Eight per cent of adults surveyed also said they’ve been cyber-bullied and that rose to 12 per cent among heavy users of Facebook or Twitter. More mainstream use of social media means cyber-bullying is becoming more widespread and not just limited to online chat rooms, according to 6S Marketing president Chris Breikss. “Considering the speed of social media and its availability – through smart phones, tablets – harassment has become inescapable,” he said. “It turns into a round-the-clock nightmare. The internet’s immediacy gives bullies a perception of power and the sheer volume of these unmoderated interactions can have devastating consequences.” About 46 per cent of B.C. adults use Facebook daily – rising to 64 per cent of 18- to 34-year-olds – and levels are higher in households with teens. Sixteen per cent use Twitter daily (37 per cent in the 18-34 group.) Fifty-eight per cent of parents surveyed said they believed their teens were the victims of “traditional” bullying.

The Royal City. When some think of New Westminster, they see a historic city on the Fraser River, rich in community spirit. Others may have a less-than-favourable view, remembering a time not long ago when New West had a tough reputation and its best years seemed behind it. That image is being turned on its head as this compact city at the centre of Metro Vancouver addresses the challenges and embarks on a period of growth and revitalization that is making it a place to watch. We’ve all heard the mantra of real estate agents, developers and investors everywhere: location, location, location. It’s a basic rule and one that New Westminster offers in spades. Five SkyTrain stations and a central location have been key drivers behind the recent progress. But without smart, strategic decisions by the city and community to deal with difficulties that all urban communities face, like crime, homelessness and aging infrastructure, New West wouldn’t be in the enviable position it is today. Since 1996, crime in New West has dropped nearly 60 per cent thanks to concerted prevention efforts involving police, community organizations and City Hall. In 2000, the police station was moved back to the Downtown, co-locating high-density residential development and police services in the former Canada Post building on Columbia Street and creating a clear presence of officers and new residents in the area. A strategy to reduce liquor seats in the city was pursued to create a shift from old style, drinking halls into smaller, neighbourhood-friendly establishments. To combat homelessness, an action plan was developed, where the city worked with stakeholders to provide properly designed and supported emergency housing facilities for people when they need it most. Working with law enforcement, a coordinated effort to combat nuisance behavior and illegal drug activity was launched to deal with activity that preyed on

Bill HarPer some of our most vulnerable. And recently, City Hall has aggressively pursued funding to address aging infrastructure while building new facilities and creating additional park space for our growing population. All of this has been aimed at dealing with the issues head-on and setting New Westminster on the path to a brighter future. It’s worked. In 2011, New West claimed the Lower Mainland’s greatest building permit value per square kilometre at more than $15,000,000. By 2030, the city’s population is expected to nearly double with a rate of growth outpacing the region’s. New and innovative development has emerged to meet increasing demand. Integrating rapid transit within the retail level, the recently opened Plaza @ New Westminster SkyTrain is the first project of its kind in North America. Across the street from Royal Columbian Hospital, the Brewery District is rising from the old Labatt’s site, featuring sustainable, intelligently conceived, mixed-use space to meet the needs of the health care sector as well those of new arrivals such as TransLink, to this growing part of the city. In Uptown New Westminster, Westminster Centre, Metro Vancouver’s first LEED Gold market office building is at near capacity while construction is underway close by on a new commercial project that will add to the energy and vitality of the area. But the development community can’t do it all on its own. That’s why City Hall has been leading the way, fostering a cooperative attitude towards

well-managed growth. Just this past summer, Westminster Pier Park opened on our waterfront, connecting visitors and residents alike with the Fraser River. Nearby, construction is underway on a civic centre, delivering new arts, culture and conference facilities for the community connected to nine stories of Class A LEED Gold office space directly across the street from SkyTrain. Over in Queensborough, new parks and infrastructure improvements are helping transform this growing part of the community. Our school district is about to commence construction of three new schools and the provincial government has announced a major expansion of Royal Columbian Hospital. All of this activity has people talking about New Westminster. To address the growing interest and provide a glimpse into the city’s future, the City of New Westminster and New Westminster Chamber of Commerce are partnering to hold New West’s first economic forum on Nov. 8. The event will explore the factors behind the resurgence and opportunities to come. A decade ago, it would have been a challenging case to make. Today, it couldn’t be easier.
Councillor Bill Harper is serving his third term on New Westminster city council. Gary Pooni is president of Brook Pooni Associates and a board member of the UDI (Urban Development Institute). They are the co-chairs of the new New West Economic Forum.

Marijuana grow-ops create fire hazards and a criminal trade linked with violent turf wars and importation of cocaine and guns to B.C.
“There’s a lot of hypocrisy going around Victoria right now,” Heed said in an interview. “They’re speaking out of both sides of their mouths on different issues.” Both Clark and Dix have admitted to trying marijuana in their younger days, but both have indicated this year that they don’t plan to push for legalization.
Dix said last week he has long advocated decriminalization, which would reduce simple possession to a ticket offence. He said Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s measure to require jail time for growing more than six plants is the wrong direction, but B.C. can’t consider regulating and taxing sale until federal law
allows it. A new Angus Reid poll commissioned by a pro-legalization group called Stop the Violence B.C. shows support for legalization is up to 75 per cent. That’s up six per cent from last year, and Heed has joined former attorneys general, doctors, police officers and others who have called for action.

Heed said the same arguments were used when he joined the push for a supervised injection site in Vancouver. Provincial and local governments lobbied the federal government to allow pilot projects for the INSITE clinic, and provided funding as well, he said. Heed said he has studied the results of 17 U.S. states that allow medical marijuana exemptions and 14 others that have tried decriminalization. “The problem with that is there’s still a black market in the production and distribution of marijuana,” he said. “And if you don’t get rid of that black market, the gangsters are still going to be involved in it, and we’ll still have the violence on our streets.”

Bomb found on SkyTrain track Train was shut down between Scott Road and Gateway stations while the device was removed Kevin Diakiw BLACK PRESS
An explosive device cleared from a Surrey SkyTrain track has the Transit Police embarking on a new program to make the transit system safer. On Friday at about 2 p.m., a passenger spotted an explosive device on the tracks of the SkyTrain, halfway between the Scott Road and Gateway stations. The device appeared to have three small propane tanks strapped to what looked like a fire extinguisher. Also attached to the device was a pipe bomb. Transit Police spokesperson Anne Drennan would not say
Monday whether it was also equipped with a detonator. “We’re not getting into specifics. I can tell you it was a dangerous explosive device,” she said. She did say the propane tanks appeared to be empty. As to whether the SkyTrain could have set it off by passing over it, Drennan said it’s likely several trains had passed over it before it was noticed. When it was reported, the RCMP Bomb Disposal Unit arrived and took the bomb off the guideway and carried it out to an open field where it was detonated. Over the weekend, there were two more suspected bombs reported on the SkyTrain route, both of which turned out to be false alarms. Drennan said SkyTrain police will now be embarking on an initiative borrowed from

New York called Train Order Maintenance or TOM. “It’s a very simple program that’s been extremely effective in New York,” Drennan said. Officers get on the train, introduce themselves, ask if everything is okay and do a visual assessment and leave. “This does a couple of things all at the same time,” Drennan said. “It gives us the ability to interact and to assess, and it gives the passengers that high visible presence that reassures them we are there.” Drennan said the initiative is a direct result of the bomb scare on Friday. “Whether or not this (device) was ever in the car, reassuring that their transit system is as safe as it can possibly be is a huge part of what we have to do,” Drennan said. “Seeing us is a big part of that.”

Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. —lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
In Flanders Fields was written during the First World War by Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. It is said that he was inspired to write the poem May 3, 1915, after the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres.

REMEMBRANCE D Y what if? A tomb for an unknown soldier is a form of memorial to a nation’s war dead, where the body of one unidentified soldier killed in battle represents all. In the year 2000, a tomb for Canada’s Unknown Soldier was dedicated at Ottawa. Within the tomb rests the remains of a young Canadian soldier who gave his life at the famous Battle of Vimy Ridge. Many of New Westminster’s young men fought and died in that bloody water-shed battle. In the following work, written for the traditional Remembrance Day ceremonies held at the New Westminster Armories and dedicated to its Regiment, Don Benson raises the possibility that Canada’s Unknown Soldier could be a Royal City lad who once actually drilled and drank his ration of rum in that hallowed historic building.
UNKNOWN SOLDIER He was a young Canadian who died at Vimy Ridge; Did he come from Chilliwack, or Gibsons Landing? Did he grow up out in Surrey, or up near Spences’ Bridge? Or, did he live within a mile of where we’re standing? Did he play for Salmonbellies at the oval in the park? Was he rover, or assigned to guard the net? Or was the local drama club the place he made his mark? Did he learn to fish and swim in the Brunette?

Memory Project collecting oral histories of veterans Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
While some funding for The Memory Project will be ending in March, the work will continue to preserve oral histories of aging veterans for future generations. In the past year, the project has added more than 350 interviews with Korean War veterans to its online archive and a similar number for Second World War veterans. While funding from the federal Department of Canadian Heritage will end for the interviews about Second World War experiences, the Historica-Dominion Institute will continue the work, said Alex Herd, project manager for the Memory Project. Herd noted that while Second World War veterans are often willing to be interviewed, sometimes with the encouragement of their families, it can be more challenging to get Korean War veterans to participate. That’s largely due to the fact that for decades, they were not even considered war veterans. That war, which took place between 1950 and 1953, was officially deemed a “police action” by then-U.S. President Harry Truman for political and diplomatic reasons, Herd explained. While the veterans experienced war-like conditions, it was not considered a war and afterwards, they didn’t receive the same benefits as their counterparts from the Second World War. It wasn’t until after years of lobbying that Korean War veterans were publicly recognized by the federal government as war veterans in the early 1990s. That’s all contributed to a reticence among many such veterans to share their stories, Herd said.
The project “is part of our effort to give them the respect they’ve been due, to encourage them to come forward and share their stories, to show them they’re valued members of society and their stories are valued parts of our history,” he said, “and also to educate all Canadians of all generations and backgrounds on what has been a war that’s been neglected in our historical instruction at every level in the country.” He noted that people in Korea continue to be very grateful for Canadians’ efforts in keeping that country free. The project has also digitized more than 1,600 artifacts for its archives. They borrow artifacts from veterans they interview and photograph or scan them for inclusion in the online archive before returning them. Such artifacts include photos, medals, pieces of shrapnel and communist propaganda. One intriguing piece was a Chinese coin picked up on the battlefield by a Korean War veteran who was eventually wounded and bled on the coin. For some reason, he never cleaned the blood off. Others came from a Second World War veteran who was in prisonerof-war camps in Italy and Germany. To pass the time he drew comics to entertain himself and his fellow prisoners, which are now reproduced and in the archives, as is a piece of his ration bread that he received in the camp, which he kept in a bag as a memento all these years. The Memory Project is still seeking veterans of the Second World War or Korean War to participate. For more information visit www.thememoryproject.com or call 1-866-701-1867.

BRANCH 83
Once again Remembrance Day will soon be upon us. A time for Canadians of all ages to remember the more than one hundred thousand fellow citizens who fought, bled and died protecting our freedoms along with the countless others who have served our country. But Remembrance Day should not only be reserved to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice. It should also be a practical remembrance of the living – the disabled veterans, RCMP members, widows, widowers, orphans and family members of those who served who are in need of a helping hand. Members of the Royal Canadian Legion are, as one of their core responsibilities, the Guardians of Remembrance. The Poppy Campaign organized by the Legion, in conjunction with Remembrance Day, helps alleviate suffering and addresses the needs of veterans and their
families who may not have the financial wherewithal for basic necessities. The Legion assists with purchasing medical equipment, awarding bursaries for needy students, providing support services such as meals-onwheels and drop-in centres and helping with some basic residential repairs to name but a few. So much of the Legion’s work in our communities goes unnoticed. Every day this organization of more than 330,000 people makes significant contributions, not only to enhance the lives of veterans, but also for seniors, cadets, scouts, guides, as well as serving members of the Canadian Forces and RCMP and their families. The Legion remains fiercely proud to be Canada’s largest Veterans services organization. Our advocacy work on behalf of all who have served in the Canadian Forces and RCMP
ensures that they receive lifelong support and recognition for their service to this country. Thanks to their desire to give back, the Legion was created and continues to this day to support our communities in countless ways. The Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Campaign provides everyone with the opportunity for practical remembrance and it is hoped that this year, with the recent conflicts in Afghanistan and Libya as with our aging Second World War and Korean Veterans, more Canadians will wear the Poppy than ever before. There’s more to the Legion than you might think. We Care! Find out today how you can get involved by visiting your local Legion branch…because you care; because you can. Lest We Forget, Gordon Moore Dominion President The Royal Canadian Legion

WHY THE POPPY PROGRAM?
Branch of Service: R.A.F. Unit: 207 Squadron Years of Service: 1943-1946 Served Conflicts: WWII Medals Awarded: 1939-45 Star Defense Rear
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. 4. To provide funds to assist ex-service people and their dependents in time of need.
THE POPPY FUND The General By-laws of The Royal Canadian Legion provide that poppy funds may be spent for the following reasons: a. Assisting ex-service personnel and their dependents in necessitous circumstances. b. Payment of the expenses of operating a Service Bureau. c. Payment of the expenses of the poppy fund campaign. d. Assisting other poppy funds where resources are depleted and contributing to the Central Poppy fund, administered by the Provincial Command. e. Purchase, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, renewal, repair, furnishing or refurnishing of housing accommodation or care facilities for elderly or disabled persons, and their dependents are to receive priority of such housing accommodation or care facilities. f. Purchase of community medical appliances or donations for medical research.

REMEMBRANCE D Y
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. “With deepest respect 435 Squadron was for our veterans� disbanded and the 2004 8th Ave, crews returned to New Westminster Canada. Hempsall, (604) 522-5636 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.
With the deepest respect for our Veterans.

Clan quarterback Trey Wheeler completed 19 passes for 245 yards. He connected on three touchdown tosses, including two to receiver Lemar Durant for 42 and 45 yards. Durant finished the game with seven catches for 131 yards. His second TD put the Clan ahead with about five minutes left, and it was up to the SFU defence to stop the Lumberjacks from scoring just four yards short of the Clan end zone with just over a minute to play. New Westminster Hyacks product Casey Chin led the Clan with eight and a half tackles, while Alex Iezzi recovered two fumbles which eventually resulted in touchdowns.

Justin Wallace, Michael Winter and John Hodnett scored the Clan’s goals. J.D. Blakley picked up his fourth shutout of the season.
