Skate park pitched for Pitt
Would be located in Harris Road Park,
council also to vote on pool closure
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
A new master plan for Harris Road Park
pitches to revamp the busy outdoor facility with
a stage and skate park.
Yet to be finalized, the plan hopes to make
under-used areas of the Pitt Meadows park –
which has several baseball diamonds, soccer
fields, a pool and a water park – more produc-
tive.
“There’s multiple uses in the park and we
need to come up with a plan to look at the long-
term needs,” said manager of parks and open
spaces Bruce McLeod.
“It’s meant to provide all those opportunities
in the community for the space as an athletic
park, an event space and as a gathering place,
as well.”
A 14,000-square-foot skate park is being pro-
posed for east of the existing parking lot.
The parks commission hopes to combine a
five-metre asphalt area with one row of 12 park-
ing spaces and 15 metres of the adjacent grass
area to build it.
It will replace a skate park near Pitt Meadows
city hall that was demolished in 2008 to make
way for an underground parkade.
In a survey conducted last year, 46 per cent
of the more than 400 students in grades 6 to 12
asked for the skate park to be replaced.
If the outdoor swimming pool closes, McLeod
said there will be an opportunity to expand the
existing water park.
The parks commission that drafted the con-
cept plan has also suggested that a stage or per-
formance area could be accommodated with the
redevelopment of existing washroom building
or incorporated with new facilities in the park.
The plan is set to be forwarded to Pitt Mead-
ows council next week and will be revealed to
the public in December or early January.

Shelter beds fill as winter blast hits $45,000

Temporary cold weather
beds 90 per cent full
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter
There are only a few cold weather
mats left the Sally Ann’s Caring
Place in downtown Maple Ridge as
a blast of freezing weather that hit
Metro Vancouver this week pushes
people indoors.
Ninety per cent of the 30 extra
beds, which open at the Lougheed
Highway facility every November
to March, have been occupied since
snow fell over the weekend.
The shelter’s 25 year-round, seven-
day beds remain full.
“We are very busy,” said Caring
Place director Darrell Pilgrim.
The numbers are a stark contrast
to last winter, when only half of the
temporary cold weather mats were
filled.
With Environment Canada fore-
casting a snowy, cold winter, Pilgrim
expects demand will continue to
increase. The shelter doesn’t turn
away anyone, even if all the emer-
gency mats are full.
“People are going to come here
not only for a place to stay, but for a
place to come into during the day to
get out of the cold,” Pilgrim added.
“We don’t want anybody to be out
in the cold.”
Although the mats only open after
dinner, the Caring Place remains
open during the day as a place to
warm up, a coffee pot constantly on
brew.
Tracy Huffman has been at the
shelter since the beginning of the
month, but will be moving into a new
apartment with her son Joshua in
December.
“I’d be outside if this wasn’t here,”
she said Tuesday during a busy
lunch service at the shelter.
“I always come here for salvation.”
The number of homeless people in
Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows more
than doubled in three years, accord-
ing to results of a homeless census
released by Metro Vancouver in 2008
– a count first conducted in 2005, con-
tinuing every three years.
Ninety people were found to be
homeless in Maple Ridge and Pitt
Meadows during the 2008 Greater
Vancouver Homeless Count, up from
42 in 2005.
The Alouette Home Start Society,
which runs a street outreach pro-
gram, is also keeping a close eye on
people who sleep outside.
Chilly weather
Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley are bracing against a
blast of chilly winter weather as temperatures dipped below
freezing across coastal B.C. this week.
Environment Canada issued an Arctic outflow warning Mon-
Michel Furlotte dishes out bowls of soup for lunch at the Salvation Army on Tuesday, when temperatures dipped to -9 C.
The society hands out blankets
and warm clothes, but also worked
to have the homeless people housed
before the weather turns cold.
The society, which employs two
full-time outreach workers and a
part-time one, was aware of at least
10 campsites occupied by homeless
people before the cold snap.
Ridge Meadows RCMP are also on
a constant watch for people who are
homeless when temperatures drop
below freezing.
“We will strongly urge these peo-
ple to seek a warm bed, but we have
no authority in place to force people
off the street against their will,” said
Cpl. Alanna Dunlop.
“However, on a case-to-case situa-
tion, we can arrange for medical in-
tervention, if it is felt necessary. The
main focus for us is staying in touch
with the homeless.”
Record No. of meals served
Demand for the Caring Place’s
meal program, meanwhile, has con-
tinued to increase, growing to more
than 10,000 meals in October from
9,000 the previous month.
“We have been non-stop all through
November as well,” said Pilgrim.
The Caring Place is now serving
between 180 to 175 meals a night.
day morning, predicting winds with temperatures falling to
record lows of -8 in downtown Vancouver and -12 in Maple
Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Surrey and Richmond on Tuesday. The
wind chills dropped to -20 in some part of the Fraser Valley.
The blast of Arctic air and clear, sunny skies lingered Tues-
day, but temperatures were expected to rise Wednesday,
A survey done by the shelter in
October showed that 233 separate
individuals used the meal service
in one week; 77 per cent of them ei-
ther rented or owned property in Pitt
Meadows or Maple Ridge.
“It wasn’t the homeless,” said Pil-
grim
“It’s the Wild West because we’ve
got to feed these people.”
Red kettles go high-tech
The Salvation Army’s iconic red
kettles have already hit the street,
but this year you are able to drop
your change in them from the com-
fort of your home.
With the aid of Google Maps, do-
nors will be able to locate and make
secure online donations directly
to nearly 2,000 individual kettles
in whichever town in Canada they
choose at www.FilltheKettle.com.
“The Fill the Kettle program will
provide yet another way for the pub-
lic to get behind the Christmas cam-
paign and support our social service
work in more than 400 communities
across Canada,” said Commissioner
William Francis, territorial com-
mander of The Salvation Army Can-
ada and Bermuda.
“With 15 to 20 per cent of our an-
nual fundraising revenue collected
during the Christmas season and
with a 40 per cent chance of flurries in the evening.
The chill was caused as Arctic air deepened along the coast
and outflow winds increased.
The cold air feeding across Georgia Strait also developed
bands of heavy snow across the southern end of Vancouver
Island.
Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS
demand for our service at an all-time
high in some areas, we are really ask-
ing the public to dig deep this year.”
Approximately three million Ca-
nadians, or one in 11 people, live in
poverty today, making access to ev-
eryday needs like food, clothing and
shelter difficult.
“The Salvation Army believes that
human dignity is a fundamental right
for all people,” said Francis. “When
you give to the Salvation Army this
Christmas season, you are investing
in the future of marginalized and
overlooked people across Canada.”

set aside
for park
Park from front
Around $45,000 in funding
for the long-awaited skate
park has been set aside in next
year’s capital plan.
McLeod said, if approved,
construction on the skate park
is expected to begin in June,
with a completion date set for
September 2011.
Council to decide on
fate of outdoor pool
Pitt Meadows council is set
to vote on the fate of the Har-
ris Road outdoor pool.
The aging swimming pool is
leaks more than 25,000 litres
a day, according to a Maple
Ridge-Pitt Meadows Parks
and Leisure Services Com-
mission report authored by
facilities operations manager
Mike Millward, which was to
be presented at a committee
meeting yesterday.
Harris Road pool was built
in 1945 and underwent renova-
tions in the 1960s.
The pool has been leaking
heated chlorinated water into
the ground for years, but the
leak has grown from 8,300
litres per day – when full – in
2008 to more than 25,000 litres
now – and amount roughly
equal to 1.5 million litres over
the course of the outdoor
pool’s two-month season.
The pool normally costs
$22,000 to operate for its two-
month season, independent
of labour costs, but those costs
will continue to creep higher
because of the leak.
Cost to repair the pool in its
current condition could range
anywhere from $79,000 to
$300,000, depending on unfore-
seen problems.
Parks and leisure services
proposed an indoor aquatic
centre replace the aging out-
door pool in its draft master
plan, which was presented to
both municipalities earlier in
summer.
The preferred option would
include a shallow leisure pool
with an eight- to 10-lane, 25-me-
tre competition pool. The plan
suggests splitting the munici-
pal portion of the cost for the
$15-18 million project between
the City of Pitt Meadows and
the District of Maple Ridge.
Pitt Meadows city council
will most likely vote on the
pool closure at a meeting next
Tuesday.

Liberals beyond done

If your local Liberal MLA assures you the party is
just fine, that the media is blowing things out of pro-
portion, just remember two words: Social Credit.
Make no mistake – the B.C. Liberal Party, as you
know it, is done.
The unravelling began when Premier Gordon
Campbell and Finance Minister Colin Hansen
laughably insisted the 2009/2010 deficit would be
$495 million. It was actually $1.8 billion, so they were
only $1.3 billion off the mark.
The party’s demise continued, of course, with the
HST.
And, now, funeral arrangements should begin fol-
lowing what can only be described as a ludicrous
month of politics in a province that has seen more
than its fair share of bizarre politics and politicians.
First, Campbell spends a quarter-million dollars of
your money to appear on TV and promise you a 15
per cent tax cut.
Campbell then looks at dismal poll numbers after
that TV appearance and announces he will step
down once the party finds a new leader.
Campbell and cabinet then fire Energy Minister
Bill Bennett for having the temerity to offer an opin-
ion.
Campbell then says the tax cut has now been can-
celled and can be resurrected by the new leader, if
he or she so chooses.
When your local Liberal MLA paints Bennett or
former cabinet minister Blair Lekstrom as excep-
tions to the rule and claims the party is just fine, nod
your head, perhaps offer a word of encouragement
and remember two words: Social Credit.
The B.C. Liberals are finished.
There is no other conclusion.
The only question is what comes next.
The New Democrats are mired in their own lead-
ership crisis, which means the 2013 election will
likely see a return of the early 1990s political scene.

be set and recognized religious
groups invited to attend on a par-
ticular night. If they don’t show up,
then council would start the meet-
ing without a prayer.
Business Planning Having a moment of reflection
would open the proceedings to
Christian and non-Christian faiths
to give readings or blessings. Cur-
rently, the Ridge Meadows Minis-
terial Association provides pastors
or ministers to start the meeting.
If council rejects a moment of
reflection, then it will have to de-
cide whether to keep the opening
prayers as is – or toss them com-
pletely.
King pointed out earlier that
Maple Ridge is the only munici-
pality in the Lower Mainland, and
possibly Canada, that still begins
its meetings with prayers. She
said previously that Maple Ridge’s
prayer practice “is no longer suit-
able for the multicultural commu-
nity and multi-faith community
that Maple Ridge has become,”
and would rather council just start
its meetings.
But if there’s a moment of re-
flection it should only be among
councillors themselves, rather
than representatives of religious
groups, said Coun. Cheryl Ashlie,
who supports King.
“I just think prayer in this day
and age, primarily delivered by
one denomination, is in conflict
with separation of church and
state.”
If council decides to invite reli-
gious groups, who decides what
they can and can’t say? she asked.
“Where does it stop?
“It just shouts a lot of ‘what ifs?’
Maple Ridge has received about
100 e-mails with a slight majority
in favour of keeping the prayer.
Daykin said he wants to keep
some spiritual recognition of the
start of a meeting.
The agenda suggested giving
second and third reading to having
a moment of reflection, with fourth
reading at another meeting.
A 1999 Ontario court ruling found
that saying the Lord’s Prayer at
council violated the Canadian
Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Eco-cluster app
Maple Ridge is looking at an
application to build “eco-cluster”
housing in Silver Valley that will
include 38 single family homes
and eight townhouses with par-
kettes along their front property
lines and parks at the back.
But residents will have to pay
a local service tax, about $8,800 a
year split between them, to keep
that landscaping looking good.
The money is needed for mow-
ing the grass, controlling invasive
species and pruning. Those costs
are expected to drop after five
years as the vegetation matures.
The development, called For-
mosa Plateau at 22600 – 136th
Ave., follows the decade-old Silver
Valley area plan, which calls for
low-environmental impact hous-
ing around the north end of 232nd
Street.
Eco-clusters are condensed
developments that have clear
boundaries and require minimal
site grading and maximum reten-
tion of natural vegetation.
Environmentally sensitive areas
are also protected, as are natural
features.

Canadian Tire Signs

Five-Year Deal
Becoming Official
Sporting Goods
Retailer of NHL
Canadian Tire, Canada’s largest
hockey retailer, and the National
Hockey League today announced that
Canadian Tire has signed a partner-
ship agreement with the NHL® to
become the League’s Official Sporting
Goods Retailer of the NHL in Canada.
The agreement includes a hat trick of
exciting announcements: a five-year
NHL partnership, the launch of the
NHL-powered Canadian Tire Hockey
School (CTHS) and the naming of
Stanley Cup winner and Olympic
Gold Medalist Jonathan Toews as
CTHS founding member and official
spokesperson.
“As Canada’s largest retailer
of sporting equipment and a
brand steeped in Canadian
history, Ca-
nadian Tire

Over
the past
90 years,
we’ve equipped
millions of
first-time
hockey players,
like Jonathan
Toews, from head
to toe,” said Mike
Arnett, President of
Canadian Tire Retail.
Further develop-
ing a grassroots
connection in Canadian
communities, Canadian
Tire will launch
the Canadian Tire
Hockey School NHL
Skills Camps. These unique
camps will provide Canadian minor
hockey players the opportunity to
develop and grow their skills through
on and off ice skill development ses-
sions led by experienced NHL hockey
experts, with appearances
by NHL alumni and
coaches. In addition to
becoming an Official
NHL Partner in Canada, Canadian
Tire will now be designated as an
Official Partner of the NHL Heritage
Classic™, NHL All-Star Game, Stan-
ley Cup® Playoffs, Stanley Cup Final
and NHL Face-Off™.
“Expanding our reach into

Local photographer exposes Vancouver

Over 25 years of
combined experience
Looking Back by He scanned innumerable to the dealings of early
Helmi Braches images from various ar- land speculators, the ar-
chives and, with modern rival of the Canadian Pa-
technology and pains- cific Railway, royal visits,

O
nly two years after pub-
lishing his book on Maple
Ridge and Pitt Meadows,
Don Waite is presenting a new
picture book on history: Vancou-
Daniel Shawn ver Exposed – A History in Photo-
Senior Stylist Senior Stylist graphs.
Former Goldwell Educator HABC Regional Winner Don had the idea as early as
1984, just after publishing The Art
of Photographing North American
Receive $20 off Birds. At the time, Don thought of
producing a book on Vancouver to
your first Colour be ready for Expo 86. In fact, one of
the photographs in the book was
taken by the author in 1982, when
or Hi-lights the roof of B.C. Place Stadium was
being inflated.
Includes Cut & Style Although Expo inspired the title,
it also has other meanings that are
still current today: photographic
To book appointments call: images are exposed, but there is
also the suggestion of secrets, per-
604-314-5515 haps dirty ones, which is exactly
what Don wanted to bring out in
his book.
He exposes the racism and the
exploitation of new immigrants
that were rife when Vancouver
was just starting out.
Don is first and foremost a pho-

new book is once again on pictures.

taking work, finished
them to meet his exact-
ing standards. The result
is a stunning collection of
historical plates, which
are complemented by
modern photographs
(many from the air, tak- Waite
en by the author himself)
and reproductions of sev-
eral historical paintings.
The images speak for them-
selves, and with the captions tell
a number of stories, which, taken
together, produce a mosaic from
which “a history of Vancouver”
can be gleaned. But there is also
text, partly written by Don, and
partly by a variety of contributors,
often with a special connection to
the subject they are writing on.
The book doesn’t have to be read
from the beginning to end; rather,
it invites the reader to browse,
first look at the photographs, then
read the captions, and, once the
interest in a particular subject is
piqued, one can read the accompa-
nying text.
The stories in the book cover
everything from the arrival of
Captain George Vancouver in 1792
and labour conflicts. The
common thread through
the different narratives
are people – they fasci-
nate Don.
As with his Maple
Ridge book, Don pub-
lished the book himself.
This has been an oner-
ous task, as he is also
the main author and obtained,
selected, and worked on the pho-
tographs.
For Don, this book is “a dream
come true,” and despite the enor-
mity of the task, he had “a lot of
fun” doing it. In fact, he is already
thinking about his next project, or
even projects.
• On Thursday, Nov. 25, Don
Waite will talk and show pictures
about his book, Vancouver Ex-
posed, at the meeting of the Maple
Ridge Historical Society. He will
also be pleased to sign books. The
meeting is at 7:30 p.m. at St. An-
drews Heritage Hall (formerly St.
Andrews Church).
Helmi Braches is a member
of the Maple Ridge
Historical Society.

Sather and others about James
remains behind closed doors.
Lawn & Garden Services While each member has his or
her own gripes, there are a couple
of common, major concerns for
the dissenters.
“That’s the part I can’t talk
about,” Sather, MLA for Maple
Ridge-Pitt Meadows, said Mon-
day.
He agrees, the issues are seri-
ous and that one member of the
‡/DZQ0RZLQJ ‡3UXQLQJ group, MLA Jenny Kwan, was
particularly upset.

way things are now and I think
the Liberals agree with me.”
Sather said the party didn’t in-

tend on the disagreement becom-
ing known outside the meeting.
“We didn’t go public with our po-
sition, but it was made public in

front of the media.”
His position has nothing to do
with getting kicked out of the par-

ter Sather spoke against it in the
legislature, he was excluded from
NDP caucus for a few months.
“That isn’t a big deal with me.”
In addition to Sather, MLAs who
have signaled their dissatisfaction
with James’ leadership are Doug
Routley, Katrine Conroy, Harry
Lali, Lana Popham, Leonard Krog,
Claire Trevena, Norm Macdonald,
Robin Austin, Gary Coons, Jenny
Kwan, Nicholas Simons and Guy
Gentner.
The dissent spilled into the open
Friday when Conroy, MLA for
Kootenay West, announced that
she was quitting as party whip af-
ter five years. She said she didn’t
have sufficient support from the
leader and caucus after working
for several weeks to reinstate
Cariboo North MLA Bob Simpson,
kicked out of the caucus by James
in October.
What happens over the next
year remains to be seen, said
Sather. A NDP leadership review
takes place November 2011.
A new party could appear or
there could be an election before
the regularly scheduled one due
in 2013. “The party is one thing,
but the voters out there … are the
real audience,” Sather said.
Currently, the New Democrats
are ahead of the Liberals in the

4  
polls by about five per cent. “But
we were ahead by 20 per cent,” he
pointed out.
The change in numbers, though,
has to do with Premier Gordon
Campbell announcing his resig-
nation. The Liberals will choose
a new leader at the end of Febru-
ary.
Liberal Maple Ridge-Mission
MLA Marc Dalton said the NDP
infighting is an internal matter
and that some members are con-
cerned about their election chanc-
es with James as leader.
Meanwhile, the first candidate
for the Liberals, Advanced Educa-
tion Minister Moira Stillwell, an-
nounced Monday she wants the
top job. She’s since resigned from
cabinet and says if she’s chosen
leader she will ask Elections B.C.
to move up the September refer-
endum on the Harmonized Sales
Tax.
Dalton said he was “pleasantly
surprised” by Stillwell’s an-
nouncement and expects others
to speak up soon, particularly Ed-
ucation Minister George Abbott.
He hinted he’d be supporting
a candidate but didn’t say which
one. “Whoever the winner is I will
fully support.
“Having a field I think adds to
the excitement.”

G-Diss: living life through rhyme

Hip-hop extravaganza at Club Climax
features Tre Nyce from Swollen Members
by M o n i s h a M a r t i n s
staff reporter

K
yle Dembowski likes the haters. The folks
who trash him and pull him down.
Debowski aka G-Diss – The Greatest
Disscovery – credits those negative nellies for
motivating him.
“No matter what everybody says, you’ve got to
believe in what you are doing. Don’t write about
stuff you don’t believe in or haven’t been through,”
says the 20-year-old Maple Ridge rapper.
Hooked on hip-hop as a child, G-Diss released
his first five-track demo at the young age of 13
with dreams of stardom, that have yet to fade.
“I like the way I could express what was going
on in life in rhyme,” he says.
Up & Coming, his debut album, followed the
demo and he was signed to Asylum Avenue, a
now-defunct New Westminster-based label, in
2007, while still in high school at Thomas Haney
secondary.
The same year, he got expelled from school. It
was a setback that provide fodder for his rhymes
nonetheless and a second album called Stepping
Stoned.
By 2009, G-Diss had a third opus under his belt,
a 15-track mix tape titled Spread The Word, still
available for free via the web.
He opened for Swollen Members on Vancouver Contributed
Island the same year. Kyle Dembowski, aka G-Diss, performs a show at Club Climax in Maple Ridge. He returns to the club on 207th Avenue with Tre Nyce from Swollen

Maple Ridge rockers Angel Down added to concert lineup

Contributed
(From left) Angel Down features LT on drums, Joel Logan on guitar,
Gordie Buerk on vocals and Jay ‘Danger’ Graham on bass guitar.
Sharing the stage with Econoline Crush,
Soulsidein and Soundstem
Maple Ridge band Angel Down is stoked to join alterna-
tive rockers Econoline Crush on stage this week.
Being added to the lineup for Thursday’s show at the
last minute hasn’t fazed the quartet, who began as a hard
rock cover band in 2007.
The band features LT on drums, Joel Logan on guitar,
Gordie Buerk on vocals and Jay ‘Danger’ Graham on bass
guitar.
Their hard rock sound comes from years of honing their
skills on covers by Alice In Chains, Velvet Revolver, Three
Days Grace, Stone Temple Pilots, Metallica and many
more.
Buerk said making the switch from covers to original
tunes was easy because they were well-established musi-
cians.
He has advice for any other bands contemplating a simi-
lar change.
“Like everything in life, it’s only as hard, or easy as you
make it. All I would say is to just do what you love.”
The band is currently recording on a album titled Sun-
down which will feature eight original tracks.

Dissolve is a one-woman play written and performed by Meghan Gardiner. It is a play about drugs (like
Rohypnol and GHB) and rape. It is a story of victimization and about the countless bystanders who do
nothing to stop it. And, in the talkback following the play, we learn that it is the story of Meghan herself.

Ride train with Santa
G
et on board a West Coast Express
train with Santa and Mrs. Claus next
month.
This marks the 15th year for the spe-
cial event Santa Train that helps collect
toys and food on behalf of SHARE in the
Tri-Cities, the Maple Ridge/Pitt Mead-
ows Christmas Hamper Society and the
Christmas Bureau in Mission.
The Santa Train leaves Mission at 10
a.m. – stopping at each West Coast Ex-
press station along the way.
Families are invited to ride the train
for free by bringing a new, unwrapped
toy to any of the stations.
Those that do not have a toy can make
a cash donation at the station. All dona-
tions collected within the community
will stay in that community.
As always, this annual toy drive will
make the scenic 65-km journey into Van-
couver’s Waterfront Station, while Santa
and Mrs. Claus hand out candy canes
and collect toys and food on behalf of
those less fortunate individuals.
In addition to providing a good time,
Santa Train also supports a great cause.
Due to its increasing popularity over
the years, West Coast Express recom-
mends arriving at least 20 minutes prior
to the scheduled departure time.
It is also suggested to bring smaller,
collapsible strollers – as they may need
to be folded for the duration of the trip.
After riding the train and enjoying a
full day of the sights and sounds of the

this Holiday Season Help Xmas parade

The Maple Ridge Christmas Festival Soci-
ety is looking for sponsors to help cover a
$3,000 increase in costs in part due to the
HST.
“With popularity growing each year, the
expenses required to put on this event grow
as well,” said event organizers. “This year
we have built our own Santa’s Yurt that will
belong to the Christmas festival society.
This was only possible due to the generous
#
102-22645 Dewdney Trunk Rd. 604-466-5434 donations and support from local business-
Mon. - Tue. 9 - 5 Sat. 9 - 5 es, individuals and organizations. While
Wed. - Fri. 9 - 9 Sun. 11 - 4 this achievement will help save future costs,
we have additional expenses this year of ap-
proximately $3,000, in part due to the HST.”
Volunteers are also needed for this year’s
Christmas in the Park festival and the Santa
Claus Parade, which will take place Satur-
day, Dec. 4, from 4-8 p.m. in Memorial Peace
Park. It will feature free popcorn and hot
chocolate and offer photos with Santa, as
well as arts and crafts, and festive, local en-
tertainment.
Floats must be entered by Nov. 30.
• For more information about sponsorship
and volunteer opportunities, or to enter a

you must be 21 years old, and pass a crimi-

“Even if you are only available to help out
one night, then that’s better than none at
all,” said Scott.
This is the third year for Operation Red
Nose in Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows.
Service starts Nov. 26 and will run every
weekend, Friday and Saturday, until Satur-
day Dec. 18, then again on New Year’s Eve,
Dec. 31.
Phone lines are open from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m.
Callers a placed in a cue until a volunteer
driver is available to take them home.
“You need to have a car to use the ser-
vice,” said Scott. “It’s not a free taxi ser-
vice.”
While the ride is free, a donation for the
service is strongly urged. All proceeds ben-
efit Pacific Sport, which helps fund high
performance athletes in B.C. so they can
train and compete for events like the Olym-
pics and the Commonwealth Games.
Last year, Operation Red Nose provided
260 rides, requiring 149 volunteer shifts.
The average donation per ride was $12.63
– the lowest of any region in the province.
This year, Scott expects more than 400
rides, requiring 315 to 360 volunteer shifts
“Results from this year will determine
Red Nose for 2011,” said Scott.

All about poinsettias today at our luxurious Day Spa
Points about poinset-
tias:
There are hundreds
of poinsettias – too
many to name.
The reason for this is
that there are four to
five different varieties
of red, and of white,
and of pink, and then
marble.
Several varieties,
and within every va-
riety is a series. Each
series has its own dis-
tinctive habits.
To care for poinset-
tias, give them lots of
light, and keep them
comfortable at regular
room temperature.
Watering should
take place at regular
intervals of one to two
days or so, depending

All about Christmas at the hamper society
T
he Maple Ridge-Pitt
Meadows Christmas
Hamper Society oper-
ates for two months a year,
under the steam of volun-
teers.
Although most of their
work is done in November
and December, throughout
the year the society’s direc-
tors buy toys that are greatly
reduced in price, and which
are stored for the upcoming
season.
Lorraine Bates, hamper
society co-chair, says a very
important fact to know is the
society does not do residen-
tial door-to-door or telephone
soliciting.
The society works closely
and is the recipient of toys
from the Lower Mainland
Christmas Bureau (toys that
are collected from the Pan
Pacific Hotel Pancake Break-
fast and the Motorcycle Toy
Run and then distributed to
Christmas bureaus through-
out the Lower Mainland).
The society also receives
toy donations from the lo-
cal fire departments, which
organize the Firefighters for

tions from donation boxes in

Goals
The Christmas Hamper

financially disadvantaged
families in Maple Ridge and
Pitt Meadows.
The day comprises of a
sack full of toys for each
child from birth to 18, value
of at least $75, and a full day
of traditional Christmas
food.
In addition to the Christ-

Kids’ gift shop ready
F
or the ninth consecutive year, the Maple
Ridge-Pitt Meadows Christmas Hamper
Society will be hosting a Kids Only Gift
Shoppe for the children of registered fami-
lies.
In 2008, more than 500 children visited the
gift shop.
“It gives children a great feeling to be able
to give as well as receive, but unfortunately
for some of the children from our registered
families, it is just not financially possible,”
said hamper society co-chair Lorraine
Bates.
“Even though we know that a special
Christmas card from your child is enough
of a gift, we thought that we could stretch
our resources and time and offer something
unique to our young residents.”
The gift shop, which will be open to the
youngsters on Dec. 11, will offer the chil-
dren an opportunity to choose a Christmas
gift for their mom, dad, grandparents or
caregiver, free.
On the special day, volunteers are on hand
to help young shoppers make decisions. Af-
ter their selection, the youngsters are also
assisted by volunteers with wrapping the
chosen gifts.
This year the hamper society is also offer-
ing children a photo with Santa, a hotdog,
hot chocolate and popcorn, as well as enter-
tainment, all free.
“On that day we are warming the chil-
dren’s hearts and tummies,” Bates said.

tions of jewelry, trinkets, bath supply bas-

How to choose the right Christmas tree

• How to choose the right
Christmas tree?
You want to find a tree that
looks perky and fresh. The
needles should bend easily
between your fingers.
Needles that snap under
light pressure indicate that
the tree is too dry.
As well, avoid a tree with
a yellowish tinge; this is a
sign of nutrient deficiency.
Measure carefully to en-
sure your tree will comfort-
ably fit inside your house
once it’s placed in a tree
stand. Tree sizes can be
hard to gauge out in the
field.
If you tend to use heavy
ornaments, you want
to choose a tree whose
branches will withstand the
extra weight. Noble firs and
grand firs are particularly
sturdy.
If smell is everything to
you, choose a grand fir. Its
citrusy needles will con-
tinue to emanate a delight-
ful smell throughout the
Christmas season.
• What are the different
types of Christmas trees
and what makes them dif-
fer from each other?
The Douglas fir is the
quickest-growing tree. It’s
a light tree with a pleasant
smell and a nice conical
shape. Its soft needles are
perfect for little hands and
the stumps tend not to be
too obtuse for a standard
tree stand.
The Fraser fir is the sol-
dier of the fir trees. The
Fraser stands very straight
with upright, stiff branches
– perfect for heavy orna-
ments. The Fraser has a
faint bluish colour and ex-
cellent needle retention.
Noble firs are similar to
Frasers in that they have
thick, round branches that
are exceptionally sturdy
and evenly spaced. As well,
the Noble is known for its
excellent needle retention.
Nobles grow half as quickly
as the Douglas Fir and are
priced higher as a result.
Grand firs are beautifully
green and bushy with soft,
flat needles that release a
citrusy scent when crushed.
Grand branches are light,
spring back nicely when
brushed, and so wonderful-
ly dense that you may lose
an ornament or two in their
Pick one that looks perky and fresh.
branches.
The smell of a grand beats
out every other fir tree.
• Price range for each
type of tree and why to
choose it?
In general:
• Douglas fir – $30-$40;
• Fraser fir – $45;
• grand fir – $45-$55;
• noble fir –$55.
You can also purchase pre-
cut trees, some of which are
10’ to 11’ tall. These will be
priced higher according to
their “premium” qualities.
• How long should Christ-
Alouette Tree Farm photo
mas trees last?
At least until after Christ-
mas. Frasers and nobles
have really great needle
retention, but any tree will
lose its needles if not well
cared for.
• How to care for Christ-
mas trees?
The key is to give the tree
a fresh cut (about 1/2”) be-
fore bringing it inside and
to ensure that it has enough
water at all times.
It also helps to carefully
bang the tree stump on a
hard surface before bring-
ing the tree indoors. This
will help to expel any loose
needles that are resting in
the branches.
If at any point the water
line drops beneath the level
of the stump, the tree will
seal over and won’t take in
water.
As well, trees need to be
kept away from heat sourc-
es such as fireplaces, fur-
naces or very warm rooms.
Just like freshly cut flowers,
Christmas trees don’t last
forever.
Remember – the tree isn’t
living anymore and can’t be
expected to look as perky
weeks after it’s been cut.
• Is there a trick to get
your Christmas tree to
stand straight?
Yes – cut it straight.
If the tree hasn’t been cut
in a smooth line that runs
parallel to the ground, the
tree will not stand straight.
Many people cut the tree
as best as they can, then
do the perfect re-cut before
bringing it indoors.
It helps to have a tree
stand that allows you to ma-
nipulate it once the tree is in
place.
However, you can also use
rocks or bricks to stabilize a
leaning tree.
Some hang trees from a
eye hook in the ceiling.
• Other information:
Decorate with LED lights
and keep candles a safe dis-
tance away from the tree to
prevent fire hazards.
As well, turn off the lights
when you leave the house or
go to sleep. This saves en-
ergy and lessens the risk of
a fire starting.
There are myriad tips
when it comes to the liquid
cut Christmas trees should
drink to last the longest,
such as adding tea, sugar,
Coca-Cola, and aspirin to
the water. These are old
wives’ tales, but if you’ve
tried something in the past
and it’s worked for you, by
all means, go ahead and do
it.
Also, do you part for the
environment by bring-
ing your tree to the Ridge
Meadows Search and Res-
cue’s annual tree chipping
in the new year.

Farm in Maple Ridge.

The quality of their cleaning at no cost to the
environment has won the brothers a very loyal

Russ said he has one customer who went years
without taking her clothes to a dry cleaner
because the cleaning chemicals caused her skin
to break out into a rash. She tried Russ’ system
and found it was completely harmless to her
skin.

A few wine suggestions for the holidays
Looking for what wine to buy for the holi-
days? Here are a few ideas:
Under $20.00
• Circus Malbec – Spain - $14.95.
Young style wine. Intense red violet colour.
Aromas of red and black fruits. Its sweet
tannins make this wine pleasant and offer a
good finish. A great everyday Malbec for un-
der $15.
• Monte Antico Toscana – Italy - $17.
Dark ruby in color, bouquet of leather, earth,
herbs, black cherries, licorice and plums is
confirmed on the medium to full-bodied pal-
ate – round, spicy, elegant, attractively fruity
and extremely versatile with any fare from
pasta or risotto, to meat, and cheese. Great
value for an Italian wine of this quality.
• Cline Viognier - California - $19.
Cline Viognier shows big peach and apricot
flavors mixed with citrus and floral notes.
The wine is a powerhouse of flavor and is full-
bodied, so it will make and excellent match
with flavorful foods like Mediterranean stew
and spicy dishes. Viognier is a unique grape.
Once you try it you’ll be hooked.
• Domaine de Chaberton Baccus – B.C.
(Langley) $ 16.80.
Off dry, riesling style wine. Intense fruit fla-
vours of apples, pears and peaches. Delight-
fully clean and crisp finish. Enjoy with stir-
frys, spicy foods, Cajun seafood cuisine and
spicy pork and chicken dishes. An excellent
white wine. Support your local winery.
• North Forty Nine Sauvignon Blanc VQA
– B.C. $9.95.
A clean, crisp, easy drinking sauvignon
blanc. An Okanagan VQA wine under $10.
Need we say more?
• Altos De La Hoya – Spain $17.
Deep red. Explosively perfumed scents
of red berries, flowers and minerals, plus
an exotic Asian spice quality. This shows a
silky texture reminiscent of a high-end New
World pinot noir, with deeply concentrated
raspberry and cherry flavours. Sappy, sweet
and strikingly pure on the long, spicy finish.
Great value. Easy drinking.
• Greener Planet Tempranillo Garnacha
(Organic) – Spain $12.95.
Made with organically grown grapes. The
unusually red soil of the vineyard contrib-
utes to the quality of this rich and subtly oaky
spicy wine.
Greener Planet Tempranillo, Garnacha of-
fers an expressive bouquet of floral-accent-
ed strawberry and raspberry aromas with
espresso and dark chocolate. The medium-
body delivers a palate of forward fruits and
fresh acidity through to the lively finish.
Most organic wines of this quality start at $15
to $20.. A great quality organically produced
wine for $12.95.
Under $40
• Twisted Tree Six Vines B.C. VQA - $28.40.
Six Vines is a Bordeaux blend. Cabernet
sauvignon, cabernet franc, merlot, petit ver-
dot, carmenere, malbec. The wine is grown
in four vineyards, all on Osoyoos East Bench.
The nose is quite intense and showcases the
aromas of red cherry and plum notes com-
bined with pepper, clove and leather. The
palate if fairly soft and broad with cassis and
liquorice. Fine and soft tannins give a bal-
anced and long finish. An excellent example
of a blended B.C. red.
• Young & Wyse Collection B.C. VQA $28.90.
This noble blend boasts aromas of licorice,
espresso beans, and exotic spices. The texture
and silkiness on the palate are seamlessly
interwoven with concentrated layers of ripe
tannin and fruit: 33 per cent merlot; 30 per
cent syrah; 24 per cent cabernet sauvignon;
13 per cent cabernet franc.
Young & Wyse Winery is a new winery by
the former wine maker of Burrowing Owl
Vineyards.
• Binder Mitchell Gunslinger Shiraz - Aus-
tralia $29.
A straight forward, fleshy, ripe, and friend-
ly wine with no hard edges. Flavours of blue-
berry, smoked metat and licorice lead to a
smooth fruit-filled finish. An excellent shiraz
without the harsh bite.
• Kim Crawford Sauv Blanc New Zealand
$22.
A bouquet of citrus and tropical fruits
backed by characteristic herbaceous notes
that New Zealand sauvignon blanc is famous
for. An exuberant wine brimming with fla-
vours of pineapple and stonefruit with a hint
of herbaceousness. The finish is fresh and
zesty. An excellent sauvignon blanc that you
will not be disappointed with.
• Conundrum – California $28.
A blend of grapes grown all over the state.
Comprised of chardonnay and sémillon, crisp
sauvignon blanc, intense viognier and spicy,
aromatic muscat. A perfect blend of Califor-
nia white grapes.
• Layer Cake Malbec – Spain $28.95.
Pure, rich and very elegant; a powerhouse
of lush black fruit, silky cocoa, black spice
and cream, wrapped around blackberry,
cherry and ripe plum. Layered and complex.
Hints of tobacco, black chocolate, more cher-
ries and exotic spices, layers of jam. This
wine will stand and perform anytime you
think of a cabernet and want something just
a little more exotic. In our opinion, one of the
best malbec’s on the market under $30.
Over $50
• Old Ghost Zinfandel - California $52.
The wine has exotic spices of cardamom
and black pepper on the nose, infused with
bright, black cherry fruit. On the palate, it
is rich, round and full-bodied with flavors of
brambleberry and chocolate covered cher-
ries yielding to a long and lingering finish.
One of the best zinfandel’s one the market.
Made from grape vines aging back 90 years.
• Stags Leap Cabernet Sauvignon – Califor-
nia $57.
Complex aromas of cinnamon, leather and
cassis. The structure is dense and compact
with harmonious layers of red fruit and ripe,
dark plum. A Napa Valley winery with a
reputation for producing top tier cabernets.
Anyone who appreciates a true California
cabernet will undoubtedly be asking for an-
other glass.

Excellent gift idea?
Wine from pB14
• Antinori Tignanello – Italy $96.50.
This wine presents itself with great im-
pact: 80 per cent sangiovese; 15 per cent
cabernet sauvignon; five per cent cabernet
franc. To the nose, this wine opens with a
pleasant concentration of aromas ranging
from ripe red fruit to spiciness; with hints
of vanilla and toasty notes which compose
a bouquet with great persistence and el-
egance.
It is a wine of unquestionable personal-
ity. This wine makes an excellent Christ-
mas gift for that hard to buy for individ-
ual.
• Cheateau Mouton Rothschild 2003 -
$575.
The wine has an intense, vivid colour
with a lovely violet tint. The nose opens
rapidly on very rich aromas, combining
juicy ripe fruit, blackberry and crushed
blackcurrant with more complex notes of
fine oak that usher in aromas of vanilla,
mocha and cedarwood.
Full on the palate, showing roundness
and refinement on nicely present, stylish
and well-rounded tannins, it mingles very
ripe, almost jammy fruit with touches of
toast, caramel and spice, building to a
highly expressive finish that has charm,
power and length. The style of this mou-
ton strikes a fine balance between fruit,
freshness and elegance. One of only three
remaining bottles available in B.C.

need it delivered in the Lower Mainland.
• What are some ideas for corporate
baskets?
For a group of people a basket of munch-
ies – nuts, cheese and crackers, cookies.
For an individual – a basket of wine,
crackers, cheese, a couple wine glasses, Colleen Flanagan

The holiday train arrives Dec. 17.

and watch for our special greetings feature
published in the News on December 15.
Deadline is Friday, December 3.
1999, more than 4.8 million in cash and
more than 2.3 million pounds of food
have been collected in Canada and the
United States.
The Holiday Train arrives at 7:45
p.m. at Port Haney train station and is
a major event for the local food bank,
which asks people attending to bring
a donation when they come to see the
train.
Trax Café in Maple Ridge joined the
CP Holiday Train spirit by hosting a
kick-off event concert with Canadian
band The Odds on Tuesday.
As part of the food bank campaign, a
donated Hagstrom acoustic guitar was
raffled off and Trax named a special
sandwich in honour of The Odds, with
all sales going back to the food bank.
The Odds are also playing on the
Holiday Train this year.
Train facts
• Each Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet in length with 14
decorated rail cars, including a modified box car that has
been turned into a traveling stage for performers. The two
trains are assembled and decorated by CP employees in
Montreal, Smith Falls and Calgary.
• Each train shines brightly with hundreds of thousands of
modern LED Christmas lights.
• CP supports talented Canadian musicians who live on the
train and perform –no matter how cold it gets.
• Each live performance takes place from a box car con-
verted to a professional stage.
• Crowds donate money and non-perishable food, and
CP presents a cheque at each stop to top off whatever is
donated.
• Everything collected in a community stays in that com-
munity for distribution.
