Hide Out Cafe won’t stay
A refreshing alternative to the usual all-
By Jacey Gibb
affeine and stressed out post-
secondary students go together
like pixie sticks and diabetes. As
such, it only makes sense that located
mere blocks away from Douglas College,
nestled on the corner of Carnarvon and
Lorne, you’ll find The Hide Out Cafe.
When news of this coffee-peddling
establishment reached me, my natural
instinct was to partner up with our resident
Staff Reporter, Maria Asselin-Roy, and go
deep undercover to do: some old fashioned,
investigative reporting. I honestly don’t
think our sleuthing could have gone better.
Upon entering the cafe, posing as
everyday civilians, we were greeted with
an immediate welcome from the two
employees, one of whom who turned out
to be the owner. Despite arriving near
closing time (four thirty during the week),
they made no effort to hasten our menu
selection. Instead, we were offered several
personal suggestions on which teas and
sandwiches would best satisfy our needs.
After my partner decided on the black
bean baja wrap, I selected the pulled
pork variation, mostly upon receiving
a guarantee that it would ‘feed me until
Thursday’.
The next difficult decision to make
came in the form of a beverage. There
ubway diet
didn’t seem to be anything revolutionary
about the chalk-written choices on the
blackboard, so we settled on Orange
Dulce and Mighty Leaf, both divine. As
we waited for the sandwiches to grill, I
inquired about the stack of board games
lying under-appreciated near the doorway.
Apparently the collection, which including
Trouble and Blurt among others, was open
for public usage (except during the lunch
tush). I secretly scowled myself for not
allotting enough time during my visit for a
game of Scrabble before closing time, but
forgot about my foolishness as the meals
arrived.
I don’t use the term ‘meal’ to describe
every sandwich variation that comes my
way, but it seems incredibly appropriate
when referring to the offerings at Hide Out
Cafe. At one point I lifted half of my wrap
and let it drop again to the plate, causing
a distinctive thud noise as it landed. The
worker had described it as a ‘heavy’
wrap—and she hadn’t used the term
lightly. Both of our meals were incredibly
delicious and my associate made sure
to appreciate out how many vegetarian
alternatives were offered, in contrast to the
lone selection of Veggie Delite at Subway.
After our meals were devoured (or as
much as could be), we engaged in some
more friendly conversation as the owner
began closing duties. When asked about
hidden much longer
acquiring some matcha products, he made
it clear that they were only interested in
the most natural of products and that he
hadn’t encountered a variation that met
his standards. I noted his integrity and
authentic work-ethic before we said our
thanks again and left.
Though it’s a bit more expensive
than I usually like to spend at a place
like it, The Hide Out Cafe never
seemed overpriced. The food was
perfect; the workers were inviting and
the establishment itself, unwaveringly
cozy. My co-investigator described it
as a ‘quaint, hidden gem’ which sums
it up nicely. I will no doubt be making
a return visit, if not immediate, then for
sure during the summer (just in time for
homemade milkshakes!). If you happen
to stumble upon this haven, be sure to
mention you go to Douglas College to
receive the elusive student discount.
Horoscoping: Trapped between a Capricorn and a Sagittarius
By Stephanie Trembath
orn on December 24, I fall under
the astrological sign of the
Capricorn: tenacious, ambitious,
reserved, practical, boring, pessimistic,
and incredibly responsible. That is the
description of a true Cappy, and while
I do like to think that some of these
qualities are in my nature, I know myself
well enough to realize that I am the
last person on Earth my friends would
describe as practical or responsible.
Due to my excessive spending, I have
a negative sum in my bank account and
cannot put gas in my car for the next
three weeks. Not to mention, I have rice,
spinach, yogurt, and coffee to last me
the next 28days. This, my dear friends,
is not a Capricorn like thing to do. A true
Capricorn, according to the books, is the
most business oriented and reliable of
all the star signs, which does not exactly
describe my true qualities.
Astrology is an ancient technique
which utilizes the sun, moon, planets,
and stars to describe or anticipate human
characteristics, actions, and other earthly
events that take place. The Sunday paper
14
offers small descriptions detailing each
sign’s weekly warnings or lucky days
which usually look like this:
GEMINI: Follow your heart this
month; relationships will dissolve if
they do not get the attention they need.
Remember, even when you least expect it,
someone out there is thinking of you. Be
wary of weekend events; saving money
this month is ideal. Lucky days: 8, 19,
24. Lucky colours: red, passion fruit, and
yellow.
While this flakey description could
be for just about anyone on the planet, the
word “astrology” is taken from the Latin
term “astrologia” which is derived from
Greek roots meaning “constellation”.
Historically, astrology has been used and
practised by many different regions and
cultures including the Egyptians, Arabs,
Persians, Hindu’s and Mayans, as well as
the ancient Babylonians. Today, astrology
is exemplified through the western
cultivation of horoscopes; which is a chart
or description of one’s personality traits
that represents the celestial layout of the
sun, moon and stars at a person’s moment
of.birth. On what day and month you are
born in is then linked to one of the twelve
zodiac signs, which describes certain
qualities and attributes of each star sign.
As a result of the Earth’s rotation
around the stars and the shift in space,
the Earth’s relationship with the stars has
changed so that the signs of the zodiac
have been altered to include a thirteenth
star sign. Professor Parke Kunkle, who
has done a significant amount of research
on the Earth’s latest change in orbit,
claims that the new zodiac signs are based
on “2000 year old information” which
means that as the Earth continually moves
and changes its orbit in space, there will
be continuous changes in astronomy and
therefore, zodiac signs over the ages.
Astrologers claim that if you are born
before 2009, you may keep your old
zodiac sign, but those born after 2009 are
a part of the new chart of star signs which
includes the newest zodiac: Ophiuchus.
Ophiuchus is the sign of the
serpent and is based on the Greek figure
Aesclepius who was known for his
vast knowledge of medicines in 27BC.
Researchers of astrology claim that
persons who fall under this star sign are
known to be peacekeepers, very wise, get
jealous easily, are extremely lucky and
can also interpret dreams.
Under the new version of the zodiac
signs, I am a Sagittarius; optimistic,
free, honest, philosophical, tactless, and
restless. Again, I will admit, although I
would like to thick I am a philosopher
who is free spirited and forthright, I know
that I am not. While I do believe that the
constellations do dictate our happenings
here on Earth, I am inclined to think that
horoscopes and zodiac signs are a mere
form of entertainment, and regardless of
how many star signs there were in the
past, or may be in the future, the cosmic
formation of the stars doesn’t dictate who
I am or the decisions I make on a daily
basis.

The next difficult decision to make
came in the form of a beverage. There
ubway diet
didn’t seem to be anything revolutionary
about the chalk-written choices on the
blackboard, so we settled on Orange
Dulce and Mighty Leaf, both divine. As
we waited for the sandwiches to grill, I
inquired about the stack of board games
lying under-appreciated near the doorway.
Apparently the collection, which including
Trouble and Blurt among others, was open
for public usage (except during the lunch
tush). I secretly scowled myself for not
allotting enough time during my visit for a
game of Scrabble before closing time, but
forgot about my foolishness as the meals
arrived.
I don’t use the term ‘meal’ to describe
every sandwich variation that comes my
way, but it seems incredibly appropriate
when referring to the offerings at Hide Out
Cafe. At one point I lifted half of my wrap
and let it drop again to the plate, causing
a distinctive thud noise as it landed. The
worker had described it as a ‘heavy’
wrap—and she hadn’t used the term
lightly. Both of our meals were incredibly
delicious and my associate made sure
to appreciate out how many vegetarian
alternatives were offered, in contrast to the
lone selection of Veggie Delite at Subway.
After our meals were devoured (or as
much as could be), we engaged in some
more friendly conversation as the owner
began closing duties. When asked about
hidden much longer
acquiring some matcha products, he made
it clear that they were only interested in
the most natural of products and that he
hadn’t encountered a variation that met
his standards. I noted his integrity and
authentic work-ethic before we said our
thanks again and left.
Though it’s a bit more expensive
than I usually like to spend at a place
like it, The Hide Out Cafe never
seemed overpriced. The food was
perfect; the workers were inviting and
the establishment itself, unwaveringly
cozy. My co-investigator described it
as a ‘quaint, hidden gem’ which sums
it up nicely. I will no doubt be making
a return visit, if not immediate, then for
sure during the summer (just in time for
homemade milkshakes!). If you happen
to stumble upon this haven, be sure to
mention you go to Douglas College to
receive the elusive student discount.
Horoscoping: Trapped between a Capricorn and a Sagittarius
By Stephanie Trembath
orn on December 24, I fall under
the astrological sign of the
Capricorn: tenacious, ambitious,
reserved, practical, boring, pessimistic,
and incredibly responsible. That is the
description of a true Cappy, and while
I do like to think that some of these
qualities are in my nature, I know myself
well enough to realize that I am the
last person on Earth my friends would
describe as practical or responsible.
Due to my excessive spending, I have
a negative sum in my bank account and
cannot put gas in my car for the next
three weeks. Not to mention, I have rice,
spinach, yogurt, and coffee to last me
the next 28days. This, my dear friends,
is not a Capricorn like thing to do. A true
Capricorn, according to the books, is the
most business oriented and reliable of
all the star signs, which does not exactly
describe my true qualities.
Astrology is an ancient technique
which utilizes the sun, moon, planets,
and stars to describe or anticipate human
characteristics, actions, and other earthly
events that take place. The Sunday paper
14
offers small descriptions detailing each
sign’s weekly warnings or lucky days
which usually look like this:
GEMINI: Follow your heart this
month; relationships will dissolve if
they do not get the attention they need.
Remember, even when you least expect it,
someone out there is thinking of you. Be
wary of weekend events; saving money
this month is ideal. Lucky days: 8, 19,
24. Lucky colours: red, passion fruit, and
yellow.
While this flakey description could
be for just about anyone on the planet, the
word “astrology” is taken from the Latin
term “astrologia” which is derived from
Greek roots meaning “constellation”.
Historically, astrology has been used and
practised by many different regions and
cultures including the Egyptians, Arabs,
Persians, Hindu’s and Mayans, as well as
the ancient Babylonians. Today, astrology
is exemplified through the western
cultivation of horoscopes; which is a chart
or description of one’s personality traits
that represents the celestial layout of the
sun, moon and stars at a person’s moment
of.birth. On what day and month you are
born in is then linked to one of the twelve
zodiac signs, which describes certain
qualities and attributes of each star sign.
As a result of the Earth’s rotation
around the stars and the shift in space,
the Earth’s relationship with the stars has
changed so that the signs of the zodiac
have been altered to include a thirteenth
star sign. Professor Parke Kunkle, who
has done a significant amount of research
on the Earth’s latest change in orbit,
claims that the new zodiac signs are based
on “2000 year old information” which
means that as the Earth continually moves
and changes its orbit in space, there will
be continuous changes in astronomy and
therefore, zodiac signs over the ages.
Astrologers claim that if you are born
before 2009, you may keep your old
zodiac sign, but those born after 2009 are
a part of the new chart of star signs which
includes the newest zodiac: Ophiuchus.
Ophiuchus is the sign of the
serpent and is based on the Greek figure
Aesclepius who was known for his
vast knowledge of medicines in 27BC.
Researchers of astrology claim that
persons who fall under this star sign are
known to be peacekeepers, very wise, get
jealous easily, are extremely lucky and
can also interpret dreams.
Under the new version of the zodiac
signs, I am a Sagittarius; optimistic,
free, honest, philosophical, tactless, and
restless. Again, I will admit, although I
would like to thick I am a philosopher
who is free spirited and forthright, I know
that I am not. While I do believe that the
constellations do dictate our happenings
here on Earth, I am inclined to think that
horoscopes and zodiac signs are a mere
form of entertainment, and regardless of
how many star signs there were in the
past, or may be in the future, the cosmic
formation of the stars doesn’t dictate who
I am or the decisions I make on a daily
basis.
Hide Out Cafe won’t stay
A refreshing alternative to the usual all-

affeine and stressed out post-
secondary students go together
like pixie sticks and diabetes. As
such, it only makes sense that located
mere blocks away from Douglas College,
nestled on the corner of Carnarvon and
Lorne, you’ll find The Hide Out Cafe.
When news of this coffee-peddling
establishment reached me, my natural
instinct was to partner up with our resident
Staff Reporter, Maria Asselin-Roy, and go
deep undercover to do: some old fashioned,
investigative reporting. I honestly don’t
think our sleuthing could have gone better.
Upon entering the cafe, posing as
everyday civilians, we were greeted with
an immediate welcome from the two
employees, one of whom who turned out
to be the owner. Despite arriving near
closing time (four thirty during the week),
they made no effort to hasten our menu
selection. Instead, we were offered several
personal suggestions on which teas and
sandwiches would best satisfy our needs.
After my partner decided on the black
bean baja wrap, I selected the pulled
pork variation, mostly upon receiving
a guarantee that it would ‘feed me until
Thursday’.
