We can do better for animals To the editor; Recently it was in the news that pigs raised for the pork market on industrial farms in Manitoba are routinely subjected to what anyone would have to admit are cruel practices. It was sickening to see caged neurotic, bloodied and beaten animals treated so inhumanely in their short lives. Industrial farming practices are shamefully carried out behind locked doors
To the
while retailers market low prices for these products. I grew up on a small farm where my parents raised pigs along with chickens and a few sheep and ducks. Our animals usually ended up on the dinner table, but they had a good life while they were maturing. Pigs are animals that love to forage with their snouts, play in water
(and mud!) and they are social and intelligent. I would like to remind everyone that the meat on your plate comes from a living creature that thinks and feels, and must therefore deserve a life without pain or suffering. I’m sure we can do better as a society than to just accept current factory farm practices. The BCSPCA for instance has

a farm certification and foodlabelling program dedicated to improving farm animal welfare standards in Canada. You can visit their website and find quality local meat producers listed there. In the spirit of caring this Christmas, I encourage all to consider a better life for farm animals. Jacqueline Hohmann Surrey
Grocery stop ‘Clauses’ a sensation
A surprise visit to a local grocery store by Santa Claus’s better half turned heads and warmed the hearts of shoppers young and old, tapping into a clearly under-utilized source of seasonal good will and cheer. Following a special appearance at Art Knapps Nursery in Port Kells, Mrs. Santa Claus stopped off to pick up a few items for dinner before heading back to the North Pole. As she entered the grocery store, she was greeted by staff and patrons alike, who cheerfully said hello and broke into big smiles as they recognized her. “How are you, Mrs. Claus?” one man inquired, according to Mrs. Claus, who stopped by The Reporter earlier this week to share her tale. “Oh, hello, Mrs. Santa Claus,” said an-
other. “Hi Mrs. Santa,” added a third shopper, and so on as she made her way through the aisles and perused the produce. It was a revealing experience for the white-haired lady, decked out in a red dress and white-trimmed cap during her foray. After all, she’s used to taking a less public role than her world-traveling husband. She paid for her groceries and collected her bags, preparing to exit the store. That’s when a young family walked in. “There was a mom, a dad with a babe-in-arms, and a little girl,” Mrs. Claus recalled. The girl exclaimed, “It’s Mrs. Santa Claus, it’s Mrs. Santa Claus!” and immediately
reached out to her idol. “So I gave her a hug and told her to be a good girl,” Mrs. Claus said, delighting in the reaction her visit created. “The kids just love Mrs. Santa Claus,” she said. “The children just immediately respond. So do the adults.” Considering Mrs. Claus is not known for distributing gifts or treats of any kind, the reaction is all the more heartening, she said. “She doesn’t give you anything. All she does is offer love.” So, with that in mind, we give an admiring tip of the hat to Mrs. Claus. (Thanks, Susie. Merry Christmas!)

‘Polar Express’ by donation Cloverdale’s historic movie house presents a special Friday afternoon screening of The Polar Express, a modern Christmas classic. It’s the Clova Cinema’s annual holiday kick off. Admission for the Dec. 21 presentation of the 2004 animated feature is by donation to the Clova’s Road to Digital fund. The movie starts at 4 p.m. The Polar Express is directed by Robert Zemeckis and features the voice of Tom Hanks. It’s an animated story of how a boy’s faith in the wonder of life is rewarded one Christmas Eve when a magical steam train pulls up outside his house and takes him on a mysterious, thrilling journey to the North Pole – home of Santa’s Workshop. It’s adapted from an illustrated children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg and is breathtaking on the big screen, like a storybook brought to life. It’s rated PG and may frighten young children.

Hillcrest patrons pack police car Donations of food, cash, pour in for local charities By Jennifer Lang Generous shoppers at Hillcrest Village mall helped the Surrey RCMP fill a SUV patrol vehicle several days in a row with donations for the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program after the call went out that the charity might run short this year. Members from the Cloverdale community office collected 750 pounds of food on the first day they were there, and the donations keep pouring in.
“It’s been unbelievable,” mall manager Jen Temple said. “It’s just been great.” Local RCMP volunteers continued their “Pack the Police Car” presence at the mall over the weekend and have promised to keep at it daily to Dec. 24. The Cloverdale hamper program has now wrapped up for another year, but the RCMP’s donation drive will continue to Christmas Eve in support of another local cause – the Surrey

The RCMP are also at the Save-On-Foods locations at 3033 152 Street
Giraffe’s death probe finds cause A degenerative brain disease is being blamed for causing the death of a giraffe at the Aldergrove zoo last month. Jafari is the third giraffe to die at the Greater Vancouver Zoo within a year. Pathologists and zoo experts have now completed their investigation into the 12-year-old male giraffe’s death. They’ve concluded he died of encephalomalacia, which is caused by toxins in the stomach. In the cases of ruminants – animals such as cattle, sheep, deer and giraffes – the stomach is a fermenting vat filled with bacteria, independent veterinary pathologist Dr. Chelsea Himsworth said

in South Surrey and at 7320 King George Blvd. The top items requested by the Surrey Food Bank include large cans of powdered baby formula, canned fish and
meat, healthy breakfast cereals, canned stews, canned vegetables and fruit, wholegrain pasta, pasta sauces, canned and dry soups, and macaroni and cheese.
in a statement. Sometimes, even small changes can cause bacteria to produce toxic substances that can affect the brain. Greater Vancouver Regional Zoo veterinarian Dr. Bruce Barton said Jafari didn’t suffer. “Given all the information that we have, Jafari died very quickly and fortunately; there would have been little or no suffering.” Jafari’s breeding partner and their son died in November 2011. Necropsy results were inconclusive. The BC SPCA came out to the zoo to investigate Jafari’s unexpected death, but likely won’t continue looking into the death in light of the necropsy results.

Christmas Wish, by Carrie-Anne You wake up to the annoying sound of a car horn blearing through your ear drums. Wow. A great start to a cold winter morning. “Eeeek!” Your bedroom door bursts open, and your 6 year old brother happily pounces on you. “It’s Christmas! It’s Christmas!” he squeals. You race down the stairs, seeing that your bright red, sparkly stocking is full of goodies! What happens next? Well, my Christmas wish, is to have lots of snow on Christmas day. When I get downstairs, I would have a nice hot glass of hot chocolate to warm me up for the new day. I would wake up my parents and we would go and open our stockings and Christmas gifts. When we are done, I would put on my thick snow suit and sprint outside with my friends and family and start a snowball fight! We would build showforts and snowmen! That I tell you, would be the best Christmas ever!
Please-o-please by Joshua Div 2
My wish for Christmas is for all the poor homeless people and kids to have food and things to play with for just once. Some people with millions of things, please just once donate food and gifts to the poor. So, please everyone help the poor, they have a life too!

Every Christmas I always ask for a horse. Have you ever wished for a horse?
I always dream of having a horse, right outside my door. That would be the best present ever. I would ride it all the time, I would do chores for the rest of my life. I would do anything to have a horse, even though Santa would have a hard time carrying it. He could maybe put magic dust on her so she can fly with the raindeers, going threw the chimneys would be hard, but Santa is magical, he can figure it out.

And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because he was of the house and lineage of David,) to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.

Midget Colts on a roll With a winning streak on the line, the Cloverdale Colts Midget A2 hockey team faces Burnaby for the second time this week. After getting off to a slow start this season with a number of consecutive losses, the team appears to have turned the corner, according to coach Kyle Spencer. A 3-1 victory against Langley Eagles Dec. 13 in Cloverdale put the team in a good place, Spencer said. “As of this morning we are first in our flight,” he said. “They’re playing well.” On Monday, the Colts won 4-1 against Burnaby. They also host Burnaby tonight at the Cloverdale Arena. “Hopefully, we’re going for number nine in a row,” Spencer said. The team will then concentrate on an upcoming midget tournament Dec. 27 to 31 in Richmond. – Cloverdale Reporter

Q What should I expect from an open house?
Cold Winter Tips
Another critical part of the marketing process, the open house offers prospective buyers the chance to view houses in a low-pressure, “browsing” atmosphere. With that in mind, you shouldn’t expect it to generate a sale, at least not directly. What you should look for is traffic, and calls for private showings in the days following an open house. Open houses can be valuable, even if very few people show up. Such a situation can indicate that the price is too high; it may also lead you to look for ways to improve curb appeal
A
Q
A
Having difficulty starting your vehicle? A cold engine is a harder engine to get started. A cold engine needs more battery power to start. If your battery is older think about getting it tested and serviced if it is producing corrosion on the terminals.
Keep your fuel tank at least half full. It limits condensation and the potential for freeze up. Watch your cooling system. You should have a 50-50 mix of coolant to water. If your coolant is low, your heater is the first thing to suffer. Take time to think about an emergency kit suited towards your winter commute – hat, gloves, blanket, scrapper, cell phone, emergency candle, food, etc.

Merry Christmas and a Wonderful New Year from the Lunders!
Strange blooms
They did it. And you helped get them there. After weeks of public voting, the local minor hockey team that took to YouTube to garner support for its bid to win a financial prize has won the All Star Grants contest. The Cloverdale H4 Eagles are one of 10 B.C. minor hockey teams that will receive $2,000 grants from Best Buy, through its All Star Grants contest – developed to coincide with the company’s support of the Vancouver Canucks. Entrants were asked to submit a photo, video and description of the team, plus explain how the grant would be used. Nearly 300 teams entered the overall contest, with the top team earning 10,000 votes in the online contest. Another local team, the Surrey H3 Penguins, has also won $2,000. The Eagles received the money Dec. 15 at a special presentation in Langley.

Buyers cautioned on Sandy cars
Car buyers are being warned to watch out for U.S. imports that may be flood damaged from Hurricane Sandy. Tens of thousands of vehicles on the U.S. east coast were submerged in salt water and contaminated by bacteria and toxins from the storm. And ICBC warns they’ll soon end up on the market across North America, with some likely showing up in B.C. Flood-damaged vehicles are being designated non-repairable by Transport Canada and won’t qualify for on-road use in Canada because they can be extremely unsafe due to compromised electronic and computer systems. ICBC recommends buying a U.S. import only from a licensed dealer, which are required to disclose the vehicle’s history, conducting a thorough vehicle inspection and researching the vehicle’s history through online tools.

Principal, Cloverdale Christian School
How do I support my “early learner” in their readiness for Full Day Kindergarten? This question may seem a little early, however, with kindergarten registration beginning soon, now is the time for parents to give it some thought. Let’s begin by affirming that you are your child’s first, lifelong and most important educator. Yes, as a parent I know there are days when this may seem like a daunting, impossible responsibility. All the more reason why surrounding your child with other caring, nurturing and responsive adults is an important first step. Creating a network of supportive relationships — the proverbial “village to raise a child” is time-honoured, well heeded, advice. These relationships and the attachments that young children build with the adults in their lives bring feelings of security, well-being and belonging. A biproduct of healthy relationships for children, is the confidence to interact with their environment, satisfy their curiousity and natural inclinations to play, explore and create. Finding the individuals and the opportunities for your early learner to be a part of a daycare, preschool or early learning centre that believes in these principles and is committed to work with parents, will support the successful growth and development of your early learner.

Cloverdale’s Bantam A1 Colts take a break while helping out at the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program.
Another kind of teamwork
Members of the Cloverdale Colts Bantam A1 team spent a couple of hours inside the drafty warehouse at Pacific Community Church Dec. 11 filling boxes of food and gifts for needy local families. The team joined volunteers for the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program as they were getting ready for hamper pick-up day on Dec. 15. More than 300 Cloverdale residents and families will be helped over the holidays, thanks to donations and support from individuals, schools and businesses in the community. The Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program is a nondenominational program driven by volunteers.
