Two already in race for mayor Challenger Michael Morden ‘frustrated’ on MR council by Ph i l M e lnych uk staff reporter

Stoked, dude Jesse Holland is ready for the annual Shred, Share, Stoked skateboard competition to raise funds for charity, at the Greg Moore Youth Centre, Dec. 15. See p39.
Two members of Maple Ridge council have already announced their plans to run for mayor, even though the election is a year away. Ernie Daykin has said he wants a third term as mayor, while Michael Morden also wants the top job, though he refuses to criticize the incumbent. “I’m frustrated sitting on council,” Morden said Morden Tuesday. “I hear a lot of things from the public about what they’re not happy about and want changed.” See Mayors, p10

Cold snap draws homeless inside
emergency shelter facilities, while one person was listed as having no fixed address. The municipalities were the only place in Metro Vancouver where the number of street homeless also rose – to 61 from 40. The next official count will take place in 2014. Although the need for cold-wet weather mats has reduced, the Caring Place has not seen a drop in demand for its services, especially meals. The Caring Place still serves 100,000 meals annually and more than 600 different people monthly. Pilgrim often wishes places like the Caring Place did not need to exist. “I always say I wish I could close my doors.”
Extra cold-wet weather beds open at Maple Ridge shelter by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter
Fifteen extra cold weather beds opened at the Salvation Army shelter in Maple Ridge this month as winter descends on Metro Vancouver and drives the homeless inside. On Tuesday, as overnight temperatures dipped below minus two, seven of the additional mats at The Caring Place were occupied. “The good news is we feel like we are getting handle on the situation,” said executive-director Darrell Pilgrim. The shelter slashed the number of beds it offers in half last year after noticing a dramatic drop in demand. As a result the Caring Place will only have 15 cold-wet weather spaces available until the end of March, in addition to the existing 25 beds it has year-round. Pilgrim believes the number of street homeless in Maple Ridge has reduced after peaking in 2011. Some have found permanent homes, while others have entered treatment or moved out of the community. “We actually feel like the number of people living on the streets is reducing,” Pilgrim added. “We are working hard at that.”

Sally Ann Red Kettle campaign needs volunteers Caring Place hopes to raise $90,000 this year by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter
As Diane Gaunt jingles three silver bells outside the Save-OnFoods, a steady stream of shoppers stop to drop in spare change. “Every little bit helps,” she tells a gentleman, as the coins hit the bottom of her red kettle. This year is the first year Gaunt is volunteering for the Salvation Army’s annual campaign. There was someone ready to drop coins into her kettle even before she set up for her first shift outside the Maple Ridge supermarket, joined by her brother Bob Masse, a District of Maple Ridge councillor. Several other councillors will be
helping out with the campaign, which aims to raise $90,000, this year. The funds from the kettle campaign go towards the Caring Place’s meal program, which serves 600 different people every month and more than 100,000 dinners and lunches annually.
“We didn’t reach our goal last year.” Darrell Pilgrim, executive director, Caring Place This year however, the campaign is short volunteers. “We didn’t reach our goal of $90,000 last year so we really hope we do this year,” said Caring Place executive-direc-
tor Darrell Pilgrim. This is the 123rd year that the Salvation Army has sought donations from the public to help millions of Canadians living in poverty. The iconic Christmas kettle will be hosted at more than 2,000 storefront, sidewalk and shopping mall locations across the country. “Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference in the lives of those in need,” says Commissioner Brian Peddle, territorial commander for The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda. You can also donate online through FilltheKettle.com.

The City of Pitt Meadows received a petition for the second year in a row signed by more than 1,000 people calling for council to rein in taxes. Norma Murray presented the thick stack of 1,469 signatures to council Tuesday, albeit with a heavy heart. Her husband Tom, who spearheaded the petition, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last week and has spent the past few days in hospital for a series of tests. “Tom has very suddenly and without warning become seriously ill and has asked that I present this petition on his behalf,” Norma Murray told council. “And to recognize and thank all the citizens of this beautiful city, who had the chance and felt the need to sign this, on behalf of these citizens… I present the petition for a zero-per-cent tax increase for the year 2014.” The Murrays have already been successful at getting the city to present two tax scenarios – one with no increases to property taxes in 2014 and a second which estimates the city will need to raise its municipal tax rate by 3.3 per cent just to maintain services next year. A one-per-cent tax increase in 2014 would generate $156,000 in revenue for the city. The proposed preliminary tax

Tom Murray collects signatures for his zero tax increase petition. increase of 3.3 per cent would mean an additional $56 to the average homeowner in Pitt Meadows, with a property valued at $369,046. The proposed 2014 budget includes $445,000 in reductions. Murray said she and Tom felt it was still necessary to present a petition as a reminder that many residents want the city to “cut the frills and get down to basics.” “Zero doesn’t mean cuts essential services,” said Murray, once again referring to the nearby municipality of Mission which gave its residents a zero tax increase in 2012 and is aiming for the same in 2014. The District of Mission whittled down its budget for 2012 by paring back small things such as reduced hours at the RCMP’s front desk, no council salary increases and eliminating a part-time clerical position for the mayor. Cuts were made, but Mission still ser-

Pitt Meadows stands up for land reserve Wants input into gov’t. review of ALC by M o ni s ha M a r tin s staff reporter
The City of Pitt Meadows is urging the province to protect, enhance, adequately fund and enforce B.C.’s Agricultural Land Reserve while the government tries to allay fears of its demise.
Mayor Deb Walters got unanimous support for a motion Tuesday that will the see the city send a letter to the premier, Minister of Agriculture and other agencies reiterating the city’s support for the provincial Agricultural Land Commission, an agency responsible for protecting 4.7 million hectares of farmland. Walters’ support for

the independent commission comes after the Globe and Mail obtained a leaked cabinet document that recommended putting the commission under direct government control and spitting the protected land reserve. Energy Minister Bill Bennett is currently conducting a “core re-
view� of the B.C. government that will consider redrawing ALR boundaries. Walters wants to make sure the city is included in those discussions. “We just want to make sure, with 86 per cent of our land base in the ALR, that we have some input,� she said Tuesday. City councillor Doug
Bing, who is also the MLA for Maple RidgePitt Meadows, sought to soothe “some exaggerated fears� raised by the leaked document. “It is false that there are plans to get rid of the ALR,� he stressed, during a televised council meeting. “There was an interim document that
was leaked to the press. This document was immediately rejected and regarded as unacceptable. It ended up in the garbage and somebody retrieved it and sent it to the Globe and Mail.� Bing explained that the provincial government was only making sure the Agricultural Land Commission was
“being run efficiently and in the best interest of the public.� “That is the purpose of the core review,� he added. “I have been assured by Mr. Bennett that the Agricultural Land Reserve will still be there for us and that there will be very little, if any change to it.�

-Bernice Ulmer
The reason lies with WHOM is cleaning your carpets. Some technicians, quite frankly, are better than others. Better at seeing stains, better at identifying them and determining how best to treat them, and better at identifying other areas that could cause problems. However, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the methods the technician chooses to utilize that make the biggest difference: whether or not a pre-spray solution is used, whether a rinse procedure is used, and what cleaning actions are employed. We will go into these methods in detail in future articles, but for now we will simply talk about the technician himself. Who do you think is going to do a better job for you... a college student with a few months experience who is simply trying to get some money together for next semester at school, or a seasoned professional with over 20 years experience who has had certifications training? When that technician is also the owner of the company he has a vested interest in ensuring your carpet is cleaned properly. The choice is obvious. The owner wants you back as a customer NEXT TIME your carpets need cleaning, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make sure you get the best cleaning EVERY TIME.
With each pair of new hearing aids purchased until December 31, 2013 we will donate $250 per hearing aid to a local family or World Vision.

Top heavy The massive cuts to B.C. Ferries routes, to take effect in April, would likely be a little bit easier to swallow if the corporation’s board had done the right thing and cut the exorbitant wages and bonuses given to senior management. As it is, the board instituted a two-year wage freeze and rolled the bonuses into the regular salaries paid to executives. A small portion will be held back, to be earned if performance targets are met. This is such an obvious shell game that even the most naive observer can see through it. These top people will continue to get the same high salaries they get today. B.C. Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan makes $563,000. His counterpart on the similar-sized Washington state ferry system makes $166,000. B.C. Ferries is going through a massive exercise to save about $19 million. There is no question there is a need to reduce some services on lightly-travelled routes. And despite the whining by some people, asking seniors aged 65 and over to pay 50 per cent of the passenger fare Mondays through Thursdays is not a major imposition. Most seniors who live in coastal communities have enough disposable income to make the occasional ferry trip, and they will still be getting a substantial discount over every other traveller. But had the B.C. Ferries board really grasped the nettle and made some substantial cuts to the wages of its top managers, a significant amount of money would be saved (it would amount to millions) without a single sailing being cut. The real challenge that the provincial government faces is rooting out the members of the boards who run its Crown corporations, and in the case of B.C. Ferries, a private corporation owned 100 per cent by the province. It needs board members ready to challenge the CEOs and top managers they are supposed to be keeping watch on. It needs board members who do not blindly accept the status quo, and will look out for taxpayers and consumers. Then the public will be much better served. – Black Press

Where, why nobody is paid to work “You were always a good man of business, Jacob,” said Scrooge. “Business!” screamed the ghost. “Mankind was my business ... ” – A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens.
A
nna Fieberg, the young woman from Germany, was sorting Along the Fraser Jack Emberly the last pears of the fall season at Elke and Ken Knechtel’s Red Barn Plants and Produce in Maple Ridge. This summer, she picked fruit in Penticton, grapes at a cottage winery in the Cowichan Valley, and fruit and vegetables in Cawston – at the Knechtel family farm where the pears came from. “The Similkameen Valley is so beautiful,” says Anna. “I hadn’t expected it to be warm enough to grow cantaloupe. I’m from the city. I’d never tasted so many varieties of tomatoes, all so delicious. The farmers told us to try them, to eat them just after they’d been picked.” The Red Barn is Anna’s last host farm before she flies back to Hamburg. “I’m a woofer,” she tells me, “WWOOFR is an acronym for willing workers on organic farms.” Currently, 100 countries, including Canada, will sign you up for the program. Nobody is paid for the work – whatever a farmer on a budget needs and doesn’t have enough hands for.
Q
uestion of the week:
Anna says the job could run two weeks to several months. Being a woofer is a chance to contribute to sustainable food production for a better world. Nobody gets paid. But, for a woofer, volunteer service is it’s own reward. “It’s a good arrangement ,” says Anna. “Woofers get all their meals and accommodation for working between four to six hours a day. You learn a lot about organic farming methods. And, because you eat your meals with the host family and talk to them about their lives, you experience a new culture first-hand.” Anna discovered woofing at the right time in her life. As a social worker, she helped clients with psychological illnesses. “I liked the job,” she says, “but the heavy schedule meant each client only got an hour and a half of my time each week. It wasn’t enough, and that was stressful.” Frustrated, Anna gave up her vocation, but not her drive to help people. She had an interest in horticulture. Woofing suggested an avocation. The word describes a creative outlet outside one’s income producing work; one that lets us get in touch with ourselves, and what’s important to us as human beings. As Scrooge discovered, avocations usually involves service to mankind. “I began to see that I could help another way,” Anna says, “through horticultural therapy. Gardening and farming can solve psychological illness for many people.” Anna’s experience as a woofer confirmed this. “I’d never enjoyed anything so much, or felt so good about what I was doing,” she
With the new developments, are you visiting downtown Maple Ridge more often? Yes: 75% – No: 25%
says. “Organic gardening taught me that I can help people with psychological problems by getting them involved in growing things. When I return to Germany, I’ll use horticulture with youth. I’d like to go into schools and help children see that growing food can be fun, and a way to contribute to their society.“ Anyone’s mental well-being is elevated with gardening. A film called Edible City: Grow the Revolution features the Good Food Initiative in the U.S. This program has introduced American city dwellers – many who couldn’t recall the taste of real food – to cooperative vegetable gardening. The results were life-changing. Under-utilized green spaces, back yards, and empty lots have become places to meet neighbors, grow healthy food, and make friends. In many cases, food cooperatives were born. In Ridge Meadows, Christian Cowley of the CEED Centre sees the social benefits of gardening. The centre operates community gardens at Pioneer Park and at the centre. “In Maple Ridge there’s a good intergenerational garden too,” he says. “Seniors who have the knowledge get back in touch with the earth while mentoring kids who might see how vegetables grow for the first time.” Cowley notes that getting school kids involved in gardens often produces positive results right away. “You see amazing things. Some kids find it difficult to sit in a school desk all day, but put them in a garden for half an hour, they’re good for the day.” See Emberly, p7

Not all homes are for heritage
online comments Demand to blame Rick Halas, works at The Tri-City News: Re: Maple Ridge protestors rally to defend climate (mapleridgenews. com). Indeed, the real target of the protesters should be the very passing cars and not the sitting government, because it is the local demand for fuels, as well as massively growing world-wide demand (for transportation, heating and electricity generation), which is driving expansion of the oil sands. Any government would want to seize an opportunity to satisfy a demand, which in turn pays for Canadian social benefits like pensions, health care, education, native benefits, etc. I think the better use of the protesters’ time would be to either abstain from fossil fuel use themselves, or get cracking in their basements and garages on developing the ‘next’ source of cheaper, cleaner, more reliable, simple and environmentally benign energy. Oh, and that fills government coffers at the same time.
Still space to grow food Emberly from p6
There are 10 gardens in our local schools. The CEED Centre sponsors community garden plots in Pioneer Park and at the centre’s location on 222nd Street. We still have a lot of under-utilized, green space in the district that could grow food. For more information about upcoming organic gardening workshops at the CEED Centre, call 604-463-2229.

Editor, The News: Re: Heritage to the curb (Letters, Nov. 15). Recently Claus Andrup lamented that in Maple Ridge heritage is being “tossed to the curb.” For me, a building is an artifact. Yes, something that will be tossed away when its usefulness comes to an end, like a pair of old shoes. I am always glad to see a well-maintained older building – whether it is of historical significance or not. But you can’t expect all owners of old houses to hold on to their properties. Some may find upgrading and repairing an old house a bad investment. Others, even those who prefer living in an older house, often don’t have the means for proper restoration and upkeep. Sooner or later, the house goes down. That is the nature of things. In the past, an angel with deep pockets came to the rescue of the buildings managed by the Maple Ridge Historical Society. That will not happen with the remnants of old Port Haney. These are different times. The voters prefer the money to go to fun and games, and heritage is not part of that. The fortunes of our heritage buildings are and have always been in the hands of the owners. The owner can keep or restore the

house’s original character or morph it into something completely different. It is entirely up to the owner to neglect or demolish a building. To promote preservation, Maple Ridge created a register of heritage sites. About 30 owners registered their properties, promising that they would not demolish their houses before calling the district and giving them a chance to find a solution to save the building. There is also an elite list of 10 properties in Maple Ridge – most of those owned by the municipality. These are the so-called designated heritage sites. Protection of those buildings is put down in bylaws. That this protection does not always work as can be seen at a former school building. The restrictions on modifying the building have not stopped the present owners from changing the exterior of the building. Former pupils don’t even recognize their old school. They think it is a new building. Heritage lost. Clearly, protection of the old buildings in Maple Ridge is “minimal,” but does enforced protection serve a purpose? Should the owner of an old building be punished for modifying, neglecting or even destroying his property for the sake
of its historical significance? If heritage designation dictates what the owner can and cannot do with his property, the owner may face a loss in the value of the property.
“The future of our built heritage is entirely in the hands of the individual owners, and that will not change.” That would be a reason for owners of old buildings to fight rather than embrace heritage designation. The future of our built heritage is entirely in the hands of the individual owners, and that will not change. We, as a community interested in the preservation of our past, could and should help individual owners to preserve the historical value of their property. In a number of cases, incentives toward restoration, free expert advice, and free history research could add to the worth of the property for the owner. This program should be restricted to buildings with true historical value as assessed by experts. Fred Braches Maple Ridge

Province selling Maple Ridge property 52 acres on the market east of downtown by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter
A major chunk of land in central Maple Ridge is now on the selling block, after the provincial government put its 52 acres of land on the market. The land is divided into three parcels, one comprising 28 acres between the Haney Bypass and Lougheed Highway, just west of Kanaka Way. The second parcel is 17 acres and is on the north side of Lougheed Highway. A third parcel of seven acres is sandwiched between Cottonwood Drive and 232nd Street. DTZ Vancouver Real Estate is selling the parcels, called the Cottonwood Lands, and notes on its website that the land is classifed as urban residential in Maple Ridge’s official community plan. It points out that the parcels feature southfacing slopes overlook-

Three parcels at the edge of downtown are up for sale. ing the Fraser River and are located next to amenities and schools and offers greenfield development. Under the OCP definition, single family homes, duplexes, triplexes, townhouses and apartments are allowed. Suburbs and conservation areas surround the parcels. According to Darrell Denton in the district’s economic development office, the parcels are likely to remain alot-
ted for more homes and townhouses. Steep slopes in the area would make it difficult and costly to put in a commercial or industrial project, he said. “It’s good news. If there’s interest in the property, then there’s interest in Maple Ridge, which is good news for us.” Development in that area also could factor in with growth in the Albion flats to the east where a business park,
shopping mall and recreational areas are planned. DTZ’s projections say Maple Ridge was to grow by four per cent from 2011 to 2013 reaching an estimated population of 81,888. The area originally was planned as the northern crossing point for the Golden Ears Bridge, until that project was moved to the border between Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge.

CBC television’s documentary news program The Fifth Estate this month aired a show which questions the police handling of the Todd case. Carol Todd said she contacted the RCMP several times to complain about the sexual extortion. According to the Fifth Estate program, in November 2011 an RCMP constable e-mailed her saying: “I would highly recommend that Amanda close all her Facebook and e-mail accounts at this time. “If Amanda does not stay off the Internet and/or take steps to protect herself online … there is only so much we, as the police, can do.” Todd said the new law, had it existed in 2011, would have made a difference in her dealings with the RCMP. Police would have
had a potential Criminal Code offence as the basis of their investigation. Her complaint would have been that “a crime has been committed. “I think it would have taken away that grey area,” she said. “It would have been more black and white.” The legislation alone will not make a difference – there still needs to be more bullying education and prevention messaging, and local police need training in how to deal with these new crimes, said Todd. “Technology moves ever so fast, and we need to keep up with it.” The government made the announcement during Bullying Awareness Week. “Our government is committed to helping ensure that our children are safe from online predators and from online exploitation,” MP Randy
Kamp said in a release. “Through this legislation, our Conservative government is sending the message that the bullying and sexual exploitation of our children is a crime and will not be tolerated.” Todd has become a frequent speaker about cyberbullying. On Monday, she was in Winnipeg for the symposium Beyond Borders – Child Sexual Exploitation in the Digital Age. So, she thought she would be strong through Wednesday’s announcement. But the discussion of the new legislation included Amanda’s story, and those of other victims like her, was tough. “I was emotional,” she said. “It’s groundbreaking, heartwarming, emotional and bittersweet.” “I hope she and all those other kids are looking down and just partying up there.”
Slates are forming for next ‘14 election Mayors from Front
“I feel that I’m the guy who can deliver this. I see Maple Ridge for much bigger and better things. “Mostly, I really want to see Maple Ridge become much more economically viable than it really is. I just feel we’re
not moving forward enough.” Morden said the Maple Ridge needs more money from a larger commercial and industrial tax base to pay for constantly increasing costs for police and infrastructure. “Seven-per-cent [in-
crease] for police is an issue.” He’s looking forward to the new program that will provide incentives to attract commercial and industrial development, as well as a new jobs strategy. With social media buzzing, politicking for

After having his Mother and Father pass away within six months of each other over 20 years ago, nutritional expert Brad King realized he needed to take his health seriously, very seriously! “I realized then”, says, King “It’s not that you age, it’s how you choose to age that matters. My mother was only 59 when I lost her and that is way too young for anyone to have to die—especially from what is now known as a completely preventable disease. Too many people are leaving us too soon because they fail to understand how imperative the right lifestyle choices really are in terms of preventing disease and creating optimal health.” After a period of extensive research in the areas of genetic predisposition to disease, Brad discovered that the likelihood of experiencing the same disease or disorder your family members experienced is not tied to your genes, but instead to your lifestyle, dietary and environmental factors. ‘Lifestyle NOT your family genetics determines your health and wellbeing’!
Brad’s success stories to date are inspiring. “It is amazing to see what can happen when small research-proven lifestyle, dietary and environmental changes are implemented”, says King and continues with “far too many people feel that true health has passed them by, that they are too far gone HOWEVER by making small adjustments to your lifestyle it will have an enormous positive impact on your current health”. Brad combines his in depth knowledge with his sense of humour which makes him a popular guest featured on thousands of television and radio programs as well as both magazine and newspaper articles throughout North America, including The Today Show and Canada AM.
Brad shows us how to make changes that are very easy to implement, but impact us and our families in ways we just can’t imagine until we experience them for ourselves.

the seven seats on council has started earlier than usual. Potential candidates are coming together into groups to support each other during the campaign leading up to the November 2014 municipal vote. “I know there are slates being formed,” Morden said, adding he’s considering joining one. (Slates) “is an effective way, if you decide you want to paint the town red.” That’s going to be a lot easier to achieve than if everyone has different opinions. Having common goals allows a council to set clear direction, he added. Morden, a two-term councillor, didn’t want to criticize Daykin, the two-term mayor. “I’m not saying anything about Ernie at all. I have nothing to say about his function as mayor.” Daykin said he also wants to continue Maple Ridge’s economic growth if he’s elected for a third term. The commercial-industrial review will tell the district how to plot its future. He also wants to “build on what’s happening in the downtown.” Daykin also wants to attract attention to the Albion industrial area on the south side of Lougheed Highway. “It’s ripe for redevelopment. “In the Lower Mainland, there’s a shrinking mass of industrial land.” Daykin said he has an open-door policy for council members. “I think I’ve worked really hard at being collaborative, keeping everybody on the same page.”

Medical pot bylaw gets easy ride Only a handful speak on proposal to put pot in ALR
China Kitchen Serving You
Since 1990
by Phil M elnyc h u k staff reporter
Betty von Hardenberg wanted to know what is it about medical pot production that Maple Ridge likes – that other municipalities don’t? Other cities such as Pitt Meadows, Langley, Chilliwack and Delta have all banned new medical marijuana operations from farmland and instead has directed them to industrial parks, the Thornhill resident pointed out Tuesday at a public hearing. So why is Maple Ridge directing such operations on to its Agricultural Land Reserve lands, “Without any consideration for the health and safety of the neighbouring community in the ALR?” Von Hardenberg, was one of the few who spoke against the amendment to Maple Ridge’s zoning bylaw that will allow such operations only within the ALR within the district. Shouldn’t the district’s goal be to protect the wider community? “This is a very specific bylaw. It appears to be tailored for a specific applicant or applicants within the ALR.” Only three others addressed the topic, one speaker in favour and one asking the district to wait until the court case challenging the federal government’s banning smaller producers. Earlier this year, Maple Ridge had proposed a wider use of agricultural lands for medical pot operations then after a public hearing, rescinded that and put forward a new amendment restricting them to the ALR. The district has been bolstered in its case by a ruling from the Agricultural Land Commission recognizing medical pot production as a legitmate use of farmland. As a result, cities can regulate, but not prohibit such operations. Maple Ridge is making the change to prepare for new federal Marihuana for Medical Purposes regulaion which takes effect April 1 and which encourages large commercial operations and phases out smaller, personal medical grow operations. James Poelzer with Agrima Botanicals

Your Community-Minded Restaurant
To Our Valued Customers Agrima Botanicals
Maple Ridge is proposing to allow commercial medical marijuana operations in ALR. though said the new medical marijuana operations will be highly regulated and will address health, noise, safety, security and environmental issues, as per Health Canada requirements. Agrima is converting a building in Maple Ridge that used to grow medical pot under the previous rules, and has applied for a licence under the new rules so it can produce medical marijuana. It’s still waiting to hear from Health Canada and won’t get its federal licence until inspectors have been on site. “We hope to be run-
ning when the new rules come into effect.” He said he appreciated von Hardenberg’s concerns, which many people have. “I encourage her to look a little more closely into it.” All of von Hardenberg’s concerns are addressed by Health Canada regulations, he added. He compared largescale medical marijuana operations that will operate under the new regime to gas stations, banks or jewelry stores which have similar security concerns. “In my opinion, it’s actually very forward thinking of Maple Ridge
to put it in the ALR.” He said Maple Ridge’s bylaw change also will allow pot to be grown in greenhouses, a cheaper method of production than growing in a completely indoor setting. That could allow cheaper production and prices for medical marijuana, he pointed out. And producing in an agricultural area makes sense, given that marijuana production involves growing a plant, in a greenhouse. “If that’s not agriculture, I don’t know what is.” Council will vote on the bylaw change at a later meeting.

Pot petitioners facing possible defeat in bid to change law fied signatures. “In at least half of the ridings we are struggling,” Larsen said Tuesday, adding that means a quarter or less of the signatures have been gathered.
“We have a long way to go.” Districts with the lowest numbers of signatures include Cariboo, Fort Langley, Langley, Abbotsford and SurreyTynehead, Larsen said. Other areas where canvassers are doing well – either reaching their target or close to it – include Nelson, Creston, Vancouver’s West End, Penticton, Kelowna, Port Alberni and the Similkameen. “We always knew it was going to be a huge challenge going into the campaign,” Larsen said. “Theres a lot of fear out there. People would love to sign the petition but say they’d lose their job or their employer told them not to. I find that disturbing that people are afraid to express a political opinion.” He said the main challenge has been the sheer logistics of collecting so many signatures in every riding in just 90 days. He noted 50,000 signatures came in over the past week, adding a continued surge in the numbers up to the deadline could still put them “in the ballpark.” Campaigners aim to pass the proposed Sensible Policing Act to bar police from spending any time or resources enforcing the federal law against possessing small amounts of marijuana. A successful petition would require the B.C. government to introduce the pseudo-decriminalization bill in the Legislature or else put it to a referendum like the one that defeated the harmonized sales tax. \The government held that referendum after Fight HST forces gathered 705,000 petition signatures. “Whether or not we get all the signatures we need, this campaign will absolutely continue,” Larsen said, adding the “army” of supporters will push towards marijuana legalization on multiple fronts. He said Sensible BC could stage a new petition in the months ahead and try again, potentially getting out of the gate faster by quickly re-registering the 4,000 canvassers now signed up. “I don’t think we will relaunch immediately,” Larsen said, adding the group would take time to study what worked and what didn’t in the event of defeat. “But almost certainly we would try again in the future.”

Red Nose needs more volunteers
Adding
LIFE To Your Years
by Colleen Flan ag a n staff reporter
Operation Red Nose is much more than a road safety campaign against impaired driving. It is a way for volunteers to make new friends, gain volunteer hours and practical work experience. As the service gears up for its 18th annual B.C. campaign, more volunteers are being sought before the Nov. 29 start. “Last year, we had about 101 volunteers and I think I’ve got about 38 or 39 volunteers right now,” said Dena Sorley, Ridge Meadows Red Nose volunteer director. “And every year, of course, our caller volumes increase and therefore we kind of need our volunteer base to increase and that’s not happening,” continued Sorley. Their goal this year is to recruit 125 volunteers. Specifically, Sorley is in desperate need of road teams. Either designated drivers, navigators or driver escorts, the drivers who escort the volunteers to the clients and then follow them in their own vehicle. Maple Ridge resident Brandon Collins volunteered for the first time last year as a call taker and dispatcher. He was 17-years-old and the youngest volunteer. He used his experience at Operation Red Nose to get into the 911 dispatching program at Kwantlen

It’s just knowing that you are doing a good thing for the community,” said Sorley. On Saturday, outside the Great Canadian Superstore from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Operation Red Nose will have an information table set up in an effort to bring more

Motorist injured in Golden Ears crash Van hit by dump truck on bridge approach ramp A Maple Ridge man was taken to hospital Thursday morning after his van was hit by a dump truck on the Golden Ears Bridge. The crash happened around 9:20 a.m. along Golden Ears Way at the entrance to the bridge and pushed the van off the road. Firefighters from Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge had to use the jaws of life to cut the van and removed the man in his 50s from it. He was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster with unknown injuries.

Emergency responders rescue motorist from trashed vehicle Thursday. Sgt. Dale Sommerville with the Ridge Meadows RCMP traffic section said that although the police investigation was continuing, the accident may have been due to a minor viola-
tion. A commercial vehicle safety inspector was expected to be on scene to examine the dump truck. “It was an excellent example of co-ordination between emer-
gence services,” said Pitt Meadows fire chief Don Jolley. “[They] worked very well together.” The crash shut down the span between Maple Ridge and Langley for close four hours.
Man tasered after two-hour standoff A man wanted by police in Calgary was arrested Monday following a two-hour standoff with Ridge Meadows RCMP. Police went to a townhouse complex on 119th Avenue, near 207th Street around 8 p.m. after people reported a distraught man wielding a knife.
RCMP said the 60-year-old was wanted on a Canadawide warrant for sexual assault, stemming from an incident in Calgary. The Emergency Response Team was called to assist the Ridge Meadows RCMP. Owen Court with B.C.’s Independent Investigation Office said
the man was eventually taken into custody after an officer used a conducted energy weapon or Taser on the man. “The affected person reportedly experienced medical distress. He was treated at the scene by paramedics and taken to hospital, where he remains,” Court added.

“It’s close to home for our school community,” said Grade 1-2 teacher Tammy Tomlinson saying a student had an aunt and cousin initially reported missing in the Philippines before being found safe. Tomlinson’s class made posters and the intermediate and primary classes held a competition to see who could raise the most money. But Tomlinson’s class, which is collecting the money for the school, aren’t concerned about who raises the most money, they are just excited to help. “You can hear them coming back down the hall saying ‘Whoa, this weighs a ton! We’ve got tons of money!” said Tomlinson. By Wednesday, the school raised $2,368.23.

For the past five days the students have been raising money to donate to the Canadian Red Cross to help victims in the Philippines. “There was a big storm. The biggest storm in the world,” explained Grade 1 student Kairo Heath, who raised money at his brother’s hockey game by asking all the parents in the stands to pitch in. “Water washed down lots of houses,” chimed in Jamey-Lyn Tenhoeve, also in Grade 1. Children have cracked open their piggy banks for the cause including Grade 1 student Colby Cutler who donated money from his Disneyland fund.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
The S3 really is the sweet spot for drivers that want to have extra power but with a very compliant and comfortable ride. Zack Spencer
Visit the Audi A3 photo gallery at drivewayBC.ca
Audi’s road ahead paved with more than good intentions 2014 Audi A3 Cabriolet/S3 MONACO: Over the next 12 months or so, consumers are going to be treated to an onslaught of new entries into the premium market. Not to worry, the next wave of German sedans and convertibles are of a more affordable nature. Recently Mercedes Benz introduced their all-new CLA 250 at an eye-popping price of just $34,000 for a sleek and sexy sedan. Next year we will see the introduction of BMW’s new 1-series and 2-Series sedans, coupes and convertibles. Audi has been ahead of the curve as they helped pioneer this entry-level segment with the original, the A3 sportback, sold in Canada for years. The all-new Audi A3 sedan will arrive in March of 2014 and the convertible and more powerful S3 sedan will arrive in the fall of 2014. This week I had a chance to drive both the convertible and S3 in Monte Carlo, a full year ahead of their introduction here. Audi is one of the fastest growing premium brands and a big part of that is the variety of cars they offer. Unfortunately, we will no longer get the sportback, but the fact we get the rest of the line of A3s is exciting for buyers. Looks The A3 is built off a shared platform with VW called MQB. This platform was a significant investment for the VW group as it is lighter, bigger and stronger than the last Golf platform and provides a sturdy basis for the A3 Cabrio and S3. The new Cabriolet is 60kg lighter than the outgoing European model, yet the wheelbase is longer and the interior room and trunk more ample. It could be argued that Audi is building some of the most attractive cars these days and these smaller products still convey the same sense of power and solidity that the bigger products portray. The S3 is especially forceful with a 15mm lower stance than the A3 sedan. The air intakes are bigger with more detail; the side mirrors are highlighted with brushed aluminum; and the rear of the car looks more masculine thanks to chunky exhaustFIT tips. The

The Snowsport, it simply slides in the receiver and locks in place with a hitch lock.
7.9 L/100 KM HWY ¤
Time to hitch up snowplows By Ian Harwood
I
know I wrote about winter driving last week, but please don’t blame me for this first blast of chilly weather. I’m here to help, and at the risk of bringing on a blizzard, I thought I would share some information on snow plows. For most people who are just using a plow for clearing their own driveway, a straightblade will more than likely be just fine. Snowsport offers a personal plow that is perfect for the homeowner. This system attaches to a front mounted receiver just as a boat trailer would. The U-shaped bracket is connected to the receiver and the snow blade rides up and down on these bars to allow for change in the terrain your plowing. Because there are no hydraulics involved, all you do is back up and the snow blade lies back skimming over the surface. When driving forward, the blade automatically re-engages for plowing. When you are finished, lift the blade back over the push frame into the transport position. •Cost of this option is $1,644. K2 is another brand of snowplow designed for the homeowner with acreage. Designed to work with a front receiver hitch, just like the Snowsport, it simply slides in the receiver and locks in place with a hitch lock. The winch is controlled from inside the cab and will raise or lower the height of the blade. The blade comes with a hardened steel cutting edge scraper, rubber snow deflector, skid shoes, and plow markers. It is available in lengths of 82”, 84”, and 88”. • Cost is $1,315. If you use a plow to make money, then you will want to be able to do the job quickly and efficiently, so you may want to go with the multi-position. Multi-position plows are up to 50 per cent faster due to the fact that you can reposition the blades to all straight-blade positions in addition to the scoop and V positions. This makes the plow adaptable to nearly any job you need to do. When it comes to the composition of the blade, you have the choice between steel and poly. The vast majority of snowplows on the market today come with steel blades, although the poly plows are becoming more popular. The reason for the growing popularity is that poly is as strong as steel, maybe stronger. They also have a lower coefficient of friction, which saves on fuel costs and
is easier on your vehicle. The poly plows are also saturated with color all the way through, so nicks and scratches do not show like they do with steel. Plus, they do not rust. Attaching and detaching the plow is very important, as well. You do not want to be freezing and trying to deal with getting a blade on and off your truck. Try the attachment system for yourself at the dealer so you can see firsthand how easy or difficult it is to use. Most snowplow makers use a single halogen light bulb, which are not bright enough. Some makers have come out with dual halogen bulbs, with the option of upgrading to High Intensity Discharge. These HID lights are four times brighter than standard halogen bulbs and also last 10 times as long. Hydraulics is probably the most important part of the plow, along with the controls. Be sure that the hydraulics system is dependable and the controls are simple and easy to use. Go for quality rather than trying to save a buck. Remember, ‘you get what you pay for’ applies here. • Cost for these units are $6,000 to $8,000, depending on the model. When it comes to the warranty, be sure to know exactly what you are getting and what the warranty covers. Some only cover parts, while others cover parts and labor. Warranties are usually either one year or two years; so pay attention to the warranty. Take all of these things into consideration when shopping for a snowplow and you will be able to choose the right one to suit your needs.

Why women can negotiate a better car deal By Alexandra Straub
F
or many people, buying a car is a stressful process. Something worse than going to the dentist or, for women, Brazilian waxing. It can be a lengthy pro-
cess, too. Furthermore, it doesn’t always start by going from dealership to dealership. In fact, most people have access to the Internet, so they’re doing their research beforehand, prior to even leaving their home and finding themselves on a dealer lot, or with glossy brochures in hand. They look at various vehicle reviews, flip through newspapers (like the one

You take the car for a test drive, fall in love with it or walk away from it. When you find ‘the one,’ then comes the time to sign on the dotted line. But before you seal the deal, it’s time to negotiate, unless you’re happy with the price given. For women, this can be an even more intimidating process. Getting through the dealer’s door is just the first hurdle they feel they have to overcome. But for Vijay Jeyapalan, of Unhaggle (www. unhaggle.com), which helps Canadian car buy-
ers get the best price on their new car by getting dealers to compete to offer the lowest price – he’d argue that women are better negotiators than men; an idea that challenges societal norms when it comes to car buying. Jeyapalan says, “Before stepping into the showroom or test-driving a vehicle, most women are recognized to have done their homework and pre-purchase preparations. This advantage allows them to properly assess what they want upon arrival and ask the necessary questions to advance the car buying process.” His point centres on the notion that when you know less, you prepare more. With all the tools out there, it’s not as difficult
or as time-consuming as it has been in the past. Sites dedicated to women and automobiles are there to assist, as well as female car reviews, lifestyle writers, mommy bloggers and more. He adds that women don’t mind shopping around, browsing at various products, taking the information, then contemplating it. They aren’t always in a hurry to buy right then and there. “Many are convinced that the forceful tactics men use during negotiations are actually working against them in car buying situations. Men tend to focus on status and act upon superiority, which is a poor way of negotiating. “While the man says, ‘Take it or leave it,’ the woman might be more collaborative and willing to compromise – thus, making them better negotiators. Listening is the key, not aggression and intimidation.” He goes on to say that, “Women understand that a common ground is usually the best platform for a fair negotiation. Empathy plays a large role in that regards. Being able to view the situation from another person’s perspective doesn’t necessarily create an advantage, but it does allow the person to understand why they aren’t getting the upper hand.” Statistics show that more women are making car purchases more than ever before. Granted they might not be experts when they walk in the door, but they generally know what they want. “The image of a damsel lost in a showroom, if it ever actually existed, is no longer something salespeople will see.” alexandra.straub@ drivewaybc.ca

Driving to cut Big Oil profits By Keith Morgan
T
hey should just call the 2014 Honda Accord Plug-in Hybrid Sedan the Gas Miser. The car is here for market testing right now, but surely it will see production next year and arrive in dealerships later in the year. And when it does, sell your shares in Big Oil. It only sips gas by the spoonful. How else do you account for an easily achievable 4.1 L/100km combined city/highway fuel economy rating? Drive gently around town and you can purr along in all-electric mode for
between 20 and 28 kms, depending on road conditions. You won’t achieve that all at once, unless it’s the dead of night on a flat road, without any other traffic and green lights all the way. However, it is estimated that if you achieve that 20plus all-electric ride during a 100-km journey, the power unit will consume electricity/gasoline at an equivalency of around 1.6 L/100km. In truth, it’s hard to put a real life meaning into that number, but it is useful when comparing with other similarly equipped cars. But when you look at that number and the low gas/hybrid combined fuel performance, which enables you to journey 800 kilometres on one tank, it does plant the notion in one’s head that plug-in
hybrids are the way to go for a while before we reach hydrogen fuel cell nirvana. The car is powered by Honda’s first two-motor hybrid system, and uses a new, delightfully named, Earth Dreams 2.0 litre i-VTEC 4-cylinder engine, producing 137 horsepower, teamed with a powerful 124-kilowatt (kW) electric motor.

Drives-U-Crazy Impatient to get past Look, please, understand that I’ve signaled to park and you should let me get tucked into the space before you swing out to pass on this narrow road. It’s not a matter of etiquette, I have the right of way. If you had actually paid attention to my signal many cars back, you would not have become stuck behind me and could have made a safe pass in the other lane. What Drives-U-Crazy? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca kmorgan@blackpress.ca
battery, and total system output is 196 horsepower. If your eyes glazed over at the obligatory statement of power unit specifications, join the club. Fuel economy interests me more. Like every other car with green aspirations that I have driven, it coaxed me into a little competition with myself every time out to achieve maximum fuel efficiency. It’s fun to select EV mode and pull away in the morning in silence, operating as a pure electric
vehicle. Even in stop and go traffic, it works well. The regenerative braking keeps topping up the battery. As the speedo creeps up, the gas engine kicks in quietly and smoothly. If you select HV mode, it operates as a conventional hybrid.
I drove a production version of the Ford Fusion Energi a few months ago, which is similarly equipped and impresses equally with its infrequent need to visit the pump. The plug-in Toyota Prius is another contender for the green dollar. The Ford is probably the
nearest equivalent and sells for around $35,000, so that will be the sticker price to beat. I would like to hear from early adopters of the plug in hybrid technology about their experiences. keith.morgan@ drivewaybc.ca

10am – 3pm Saturday Nov. 23, 2013 at Save on Foods Valley Fair Mall
any times while driving with my husband, I wonder where everyone is going in such a hurry. I have a fantasy of being a roving reporter, approaching cars at red lights with a microphone and interviewing the drivers. This always brings to mind the true story of Dale Rooks, a school crossing guard in Florida who had tried everything to slow down drivers through the school zone. Nothing worked, until he wrapped a blow dryer in electrical tape so it looked like a radar gun. As he pointed the blow dryer at cars, the drivers hit the brakes. “It’s almost comical,” Dale said. “It’s amazing how well it works.” It is a little sad to say that it takes something like the threat of a speeding ticket to slow many of us down while driving. The same can be true of our lives. We can become so busy and onthe-go that only a crisis or unexpected event will cause us to stop or slow down.
Ecclesiastes 4, Verse 6 says: “It ing down and spending time alone is better to have only a little, with with God. peace of mind, than be We read in Luke 5, busy all the time with verses 15 and 16: “Yet the both hands, trying to news about him spread all catch the wind.” the more, so that crowds The biggest problem of people came to hear with constant busyness him and to be healed of is that it prevents us from their sicknesses.

Help a neighbour by helping fill the Maple Ridge Community Chest. From now until the end of February, organizers of the pilot project are encouraging groups to start fundraising efforts to help fill the chest. Donations will be collected on Maple Ridge Community Chest Day in February. The project is joint effort of the Maple Ridge Community Foundation and the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Katzie Community Network to provide timely assistance to local families that need
a small amount of financial aid in a moment of crisis, so that they might avoid larger problems. “If we can help a family stay afloat by providing a brake job for the family car so mom or dad can continue to get to work and thereby not have to look to social assistance, we think that’s a worthwhile contribution to the community,” says Vicki Kipps, executive director of Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Community Services, the organization that will be overseeing the day-to-day operation of the Maple Ridge Community Chest program. • For more information contact: Robert Prince, -604-833-7573; or Vicki Kipps, 604-467-6911 local 222.

Decorating and dazzling your home for the holidays By Kerry Vital
Holiday decorations are multiplying in the malls and Christmas carols are already playing on the radio. Festive parties are being planned, and it’s time to start considering how you’ll be decorating your home. If you’re looking for inspiration, the West Coast Christmas
NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Show at Abbotsford’s Tradex will offer plenty of it. As one of Western Canada’s largest holiday season shows, it won’t be hard to find what you’re looking for and maybe learn some new tricks for making your home sparkle. One of the biggest trends in holiday decor this year is nontraditional colours. “Everyone knows of the classic Christmas colours: red, green, gold,” says Sarah McNeil, designer at Fluff Design & Decor. “This year, we’re going to show you some new ideas.” Fluff Design & Decor is one of the main stage presenters
at this year’s show. Their show will be called Hot For The Holidays, and will feature tips for decorating for the holidays, as well as New Year’s Eve. “You need to keep it simple,” says McNeil. “Everyone has seen a house where ... it looks overdone. Less is more.” Senior Designer Mitchell Dyck agrees, saying, “simple and elegant is in for the holidays.” “Everyone is so busy during the holiday season and it’s easy to get overwhelmed or go overboard,” says Leanne Droder of Clayfun Creations. “For years I went crazy decorating for Christmas and it would stress me out if I didn’t get it all done, and it turned into a chore each year instead of something enjoyable. Once I started concentrating on the things that meant the most to me or I truly loved, then decorating became something to look forward to again.” CONTINUED INSIDE

Marcon’s Regan’s Walk is located in an incredibly walkable neighbourhood, with shopping, dining, schools and transit all within easy walking distance. Inside, you’ll find spacious floorplans and elegant details such as nine-foot ceilings, wide-plank laminate flooring and large windows.
Adding up the perfect little details at Regan’s Walk By Kerry Vital
Marcon is bringing its signature style to West Coquitlam with Regan’s Walk, a condominium development that offers a lot more than just beautiful homes. “Marcon is always aiming for perfection,” says sales manager Celia Chiu. “You can definitely see the difference in a Marcon home.” Regan’s Walk showcases plenty of that perfection.

“It’s all the little details,” says Chiu. “I’ve never seen any other developer pay so much attention to details.” Among those little details are a motionsensor light underneath the bathroom vanity that allows you to illuminate the space just enough to be able to see what you’re doing without having to turn on the overhead lights; something especially convenient at night. Another particularly special detail that Chiu notes are the USB charging stations in most homes that are integrated seamlessly into the kitchen and bedroom. “These kind of things go a long way,” says Chiu. “It really demonstrates the quality of these homes.” Nine-foot ceilings and huge windows contribute to the open, airy feel of the homes. Buyers are able to choose between two colour schemes, Grey and Natural, giving you the ability to make your place fit your personal
style just a bit more. Wide-plank laminate flooring throughout the main living areas and modern scrolled level-loop nylon carpeting throughout the bedrooms give you that extra touch of elegance. Other quality finishings include stainlesssteel appliances in the kitchen, complemented by the modern thermafoil cabinetry, with Shaker uppers in Euro White and eased edge square-profile lowers in either Covaren Crystal or Miltown Oak, and solid quartz countertops. The bathrooms feature their own solid quartz countertops, along with Euro White Shaker cabinetry, a deep soaker tub and convenient vanities. You’ll also find a steelframed mirror with brushed steel accent light bar and a full-height tile tub and shower surround. The 71 one-, two- and three-bedroom homes are available in a wide range of
floorplans encompassing approximately 629 to over 1,000 square feet. Generous patios and terraces extend your living space outside, and select ground-level homes include a street entry gate for added convenience. Meanwhile, some of the south-facing third- and fourthfloor homes feature stunning views. Homeowners will have access to an outdoor amenity space, including a children’s play area. You’ll find the future Evergreen Line just three minutes away, as well as shopping, dining, education and recreation opportunities within easy walking distance. “This neighbourhood is definitely growing,” says Chiu. “Regan’s Walk is immersed in this emerging little city.” Buyers will be able to take possession of their new home in mid-2015. Available homes at Regan’s Walk start at $229,900. For more information, visit www.reganswalk.ca, call 604-492-0222 or stop by the sales centre, located at Burquitlam Plaza, 408-522 Clarke Road, Coquitlam, open daily (except Fridays) between noon and 5 p.m.

Decorating for the season doesn’t have to be stressful CONTINUED FROM HOME FRONT
Clayfun Creations sells handmade polymer clay ornaments and figurines. This will be Droder’s first time attending the show, and she’s looking forward to being part of it. “I have added new pieces to the collection of ornaments that I will be showcasing this year, as I do every year,” she says. “I always add two new ‘family ornaments’ every year and as well, I have added about 10 new individual ornaments.” Flowers are always an integral part of any holiday display, whether it’s the classic poinsettia or a contemporary table centrepiece. “When you’re looking for a poinsettia, make sure it has a nice, deep, rich colour and lots of leaves,” says Tony Hui of 99 Nursery and Florist. “The leaves should be dark green. If the leaves are yellow and the berries fall off, that’s a stressed plant.” If a traditional table centrepiece will be part of your decor, Hui suggests looking for carnations and chrysanthemums. “Christmas is a five-week holiday!” he says. “You need a centrepiece that will stand up for awhile. If you buy it two to three weeks before, keep it inside the house during the day and put it outside at night if it’s about freezing.” This will prolong the life of your centrepiece for about a week to 10 days, he says. However, he cautions that you can’t do that with poinsettia. “They need to be inside all the time,” Hui says. “Don’t put it near a heat Fluff Design & Decor photo, above and bottom left, NobleWalters photo below, Ninh Hoang Photography for 3H Craftworks Society photo bottom. source or any cold drafts.” Whether you’re looking for something modern and stylish or want to return to the traditional decor you grew up with, you’ll find 99 Nursery and Florist will be on-hand at the West Coast Christmas Show plenty of inspiration at the West Coast Christmas Show, which will take place Nov. 22 to 24 at the Tradex in Abbotsford. to showcase some of their wares as well as give visitors some tips. Gayle Oyama of Oyama Projects, which sells handmade crystal ornaments, will also be taking part in the show this year. “For myself, I select things that have meaning and excellent memories,” she says. “They are things collected on holidays by myself, family and friends, so (they’re) unique and have meaning and memories. Sometimes they are not meant to be Christmas decorations, but do find their way onto the Christmas tree.” Personal pieces, whether they’re old or new, set your home apart when it comes to decor, and this is never more true than during the holidays when you’re gathering with family and friends. “I love decorating with nature,” says Suzy Walters of NobleWalters. “When I take walks I leave the house with a bag and collect pine cones of all sizes. I fill glass bowls with Christmas balls and pine cones, I create wreathes and garlands with pine cones. I have also glued them onto different sized spheres that then look like trees and dusted pine cones with glitter and placed them on the mantel.” NobleWalters, owned by Walters and Sue Noble, sells Creative Tea Towels that are cut, sewn and silk-screen printed in Vancouver with art from local B.C. artists, including some of their own family members. They will also be showcasing JayDot Creative Cards and Henry’s Zoo, cuddly creatures made by Walters’ mother. “Both Sue and I are proud of our talented family members!” says Walters. Charity and thinking of others is an important part of the holiday season, and the 3H Craftworks Society keeps this at top of mind. “This year we are showcasing our beautiful hand-crafted Christmas products, including traditional advent calendars, ornaments, stockings and housewares,” says executive director Amanda Cairns. “Craftworks is a non-profit that supports adults living with mental illness and/or physical disabilities through craft-therapy. By purchasing our crafts, you’re not only receiving a beautiful piece, you’re also supporting much-needed direct social services for adults who face multiple barriers to employment and community.” She says that the society always urges homeowners to think of local businesses when they’re looking for holiday decor. “There are numerous local organizations that make beautiful products to meet your holiday wish lists,” Cairns says. “Support local businesses and create stronger communities.” The West Coast Christmas Show takes place from Nov. 22 to Nov. 24.

Stepping up your Christmas décor By Mike Lascelle
P
ersonally, I don’t like using the ‘C’ word much before Dec. 1, but given that, no matter where I go in public – be it the coffee shop (darn you Starbucks) or the supermarket – Christmas decorations are in full force. So I guess I will just have to go with the flow. This mad rush to celebrate is just fine my wife, Pauline, who has already persuaded me to put up the outdoor lights and conquers one part of the house daily – with the fireplace mantle already being home to a miniature winter village and the stair rails wrapped in holiday garland. Of course, all this early decorating works well for artificial pieces, but those true Christmas icons – the cut holly, the fresh wreath on the door and, of course, the aromatic live tree – these need to be waited upon, unless of course you like dead stick décor on Christmas Day. The other thing I dislike about artificial greens is that they look the same every year and get even worse as they fade. So I am suggesting that you pull a Martha Stewart and go out in the garden to find a little more natural inspiration for your Christmas decorating ideas. Most evergreen shrubs, be they coniferous (Red Cedar) or broadleaf evergreen (Magnolia grandiflora) are potential garland or décor accents. Many of us also have berried plants such as Callicarpa (Beautyberry) or English Holly (Ilex aquifolium) in our gardens, as well as deciduous shrubs with attractive stems – be it the twisted branches of a Corkscrew Hazelnut (Corylus avellana ‘Contorta’) or the bright red and yellow twigs of shrubby dogwoods (Cornus). Pine cones or conkers from Horse Chestnuts (Aesculus) also make nice accents – so between you and your neighbor’s garden, you probably have ample base materials to attempt your own Christmas décor project. The possibilities here are endless: you can convert that old hanging basket into a winter greens display; fashion a unique Christmas wreath for the front door; create an elegant table centrepiece; and, if you’re really ambitious,
(Clockwise) Evergreen Magnolia wreath; a seasonal centerpiece; traditional evergreen wreath.
braid some homemade garland. The supplies you need will be minimal. You can raid the husband’s tool box (you have my permission) for some needle nose pliers and wire cutters, you can find supplies, such as centrepiece bases, oasis flower foam and floral wire, at your local garden centre or florist, and who doesn’t own a glue gun? These projects are also a lot of fun for kids or grandchildren, so make sure they get to enjoy this part of your festivities – after all, Christmas is really more important to them than to us

older folks. So now that I’ve spoken my peace, it’s time for me to put my money where my mouth is and, in the true spirit of doing something new, I’ve created a southern-themed Evergreen Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) wreath, complete with real oranges and lemons. The colour palette here is dominated by the natural glossy green uppers and rusty-brown reverse of the base foliage, avoiding those often overused bright reds and blues – which makes for a refreshing seasonal change.
We Custom Create Holiday Centerpieces and Planters!
I’ve downloaded easy step-by-step instructions (with photos) on my website at (www.mikesgardenguide.wordpress.com). Look under ‘Creating a Magnolia Christmas Wreath,’ and if you click on the ‘Planter Design’ icon, you’ll also find numerous recipes for Christmas containers and hanging baskets. After all, there’s only a mere 32 decorating days left. Mike Lascelle is a local nursery manager and gardening author (hebe_acer@hotmail.com).

The News/sports Stoked about charity skate event Skateboarders competing in annnual Shred, Share, Stoked by Nei l Corbe tt Black Press
It’s only 22 sleeps before that muchanticipated December event for local skateboarders. Skaters will meet in competition, while at the same time helping local people in need, as the fifth annual Shred, Share, Stoked skateboard competition is coming up on Dec. 15 at the Greg Moore Youth Centre. Jesse Holland, who got his first “job” at the skate park five years ago when he was 16, is putting the event together. Back then, Holland was a park mentor. His responsibility was to wear a helmet, pick up garbage, treat people and the park with respect, and set an example for the younger kids. “We would basically promote positivity,” he said of the 20-or-so mentors who attend the park in any given year. For him, it led to a staff position Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS with Youth Services.

Ferguson, Fletcher fighting for first The battle for first -place in Haney Masters’ Curling action continued, as the Andy Ferguson and Lorne Fletcher rinks picked up easy victories at Golden Ears Curling Club. Ferguson, along with third Max Albrechtsen, second Ed Belsey and lead Clifford Wells easily defeated Peter England’s rink as they ran their record to 10-1-1 to remain in first place and a point ahead of Fletcher. England’s rink of Barry Elson (third), Dwight Schneider (second) and William Menkveld (lead) were no match for Ferguson as they suffered an 8-2 defeat. Meanwhile Fletcher curled to a comfortable 8-3 win defeating the Ed Desjardins foursome of Darrell Winterlik, Bob Axford and Tom Little. After picking up four in the second end, Fletcher’s rink of Chuck Lilley (third), Don Svelander (second) and Ole Hensrud (lead) protected their lead to improve their record to 10-2.

repeat to yourself. Be careful though to keep these phrases refreshed and pertinent because stale self-talk can become like motivational posters hung on the wall – they work for a while, but then start to blend into the background like wall-paper and lose their effectiveness. In sports, the covert dialogue can be something very simple such as ‘focus’ meaning don’t let your mind wander and stay focused on playing the game or ‘stay positive’. Or it can be more specific like a single word or phrase that reminds the athlete of a bigger concept. These examples of self-talk are usually done during game-time but part of the purpose is to engrain the behaviour so that it becomes automatic so these words and phrases could be repeated before a game or competition or even often throughout the course of a regular day.

What do you tell yourself when you are faced with a physical or lifestyle challenge? Do you tend to tell yourself all the things you can’t do, or throw doubt on the situation at hand? It becomes much harder to achieve goals when you bombard yourself with negative self-talk, especially if you are unaware that you are doing it. In sports, a wellrounded mental training program for athletes would include many variables such as goal-setting, relaxation, self-talk, imagery and others, depending on the coach. One of these, self-talk, is something we all do every day of our lives. It can be said out loud (overt) or in your thoughts (covert) and there are an increasing number of studies that show a correlation between the negativity of people’s internal dia-

OBITUARIES
Stephen Karp Jr. left us on November 18, 2013. Born in Noranda Quebec in May 1952 he leaves behind his loved Lolly, Dolly, mother Martine, brother Joe, sisters Monique and Christine. Much loved by his brothers and sister in-laws Ian, Dave and Faye and nieces and nephew Allyson, Hanna and Colin. As Stephen would fondly say his out laws, all the Potts family, Annette, Joe, Tom, Lori, Nigel and Skyler. He enjoyed his work at Matcon Industries and leaves behind work mates and golf partners and many old friends from his days working with his brother Joe and his years in Lake Louise. Stephen lived a life with zest, joy and laughter and, to be honest a bit of controversy. He said what he thought and meant it and was, on occasion, sort of willing to apologize. We have lost a friend, golf partner, dog walker and ski lift companion. Stephen had a big heart and ours are broken now that he has gone. He is at peace and playing golf with his dad and scamming lift tickets. Fist bump, head bump, nose bump, heart bump, go now Steve…. Celebration of Life will be held on November 24, 1:00 pm at Maple Ridge Golf Course at 20818 Golf Lane Maple Ridge 604-465-9221. Condolences to Loria Townend at: lltownend@gmail.com In lieu of flowers donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in Stephens name would be greatly appreciated. Condolences may be sent to www.mapleridgefuneral.ca
