Signs of life at old mall site Developer will build phase I; sales centre to open spring 2015

By Jennifer Lang Months after business leaders scolded the city’s “mess” in Cloverdale, there are signs of activity on an old mall site that’s been the focus of frustration over a long-promised redevelopment project. A timeline from the Surrey City Development Corporation that all sidewalks and boulevard areas surrounding the vacant site of the old Cloverdale mall would be complete by midNovember has passed. But there are now sidewalks leading to the Cloverdale Legion, along with improvements to its entrance way that were in place just in time for Remembrance Day, when Branch 6 played host to hundreds of military and service personnel at its annual Nov. 11 gathering. New, vintage-style streetlights have also been installed and are powered up, as the Surrey City Development Corp breathes life into the stalled redevelopment project. The SCDC told The Reporter that developer TL Housing Solutions will build phase one of the project, opening up a sales centre on the southwest corner of the property in the spring of 2015. However, a planned new home for the Cloverdale Legion won’t be going ahead in Phase I on Lot 1 – TL Housing Solutions cites a downward trend in Cloverdale’s current real estate market,

something that was blamed for putting phase I on hold at the start of 2012. The mall was demolished in 2011 as part of a city-backed, multi-phase plan to redevelop the site with a mix of residential and commercial buildings, helping revitalize Cloverdale. Site servicing commenced in late 2012, with virtually no activity taking place except for remediation work related to contamination from a former dry cleaning operation in the Cloverdale Mall. The SCDC hired SNC Lavalin to perform remediation work. Remediation is expected to be complete by the end of next year. In the meantime, SCDC will continue to work with the Legion to see how a future new home could be accommodated in the long term plans for the site. Back in July, the Cloverdale Chamber of Commerce, joined by representatives of the Cloverdale BIA, announced they were actively lobbying for improvements on the site in the short-term. The developers and the Cloverdale Chamber and BIA are collaborating on ways to improve the way the site looks. Addressing the lack of a sidewalk on the north side of 57 Avenue was particularly important to the Cloverdale BIA, which urged the city to pave the block.

Fueling Your Body with Fats By Christine Cheng, R.Ph

“Fats” in our diet have traditionally suffered a bad reputation for contributing CHRISTINE CHENG to obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, skin conditions (e.g. eczema and psoriasis) and even cancer. Nowadays, we are more aware that there are many different types of fats and many of them play a role in keeping us healthy. Consider that 10-12% of our brains are made up of some sort of lipid and every cell in our body requires a certain level of fatty material to keep its cell membrane healthy. With all of the fad diets and supplements out on the market, how can we tell which fats will help with our health goals? Here is a brief overview for you. The “ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS” (EFAs) are linoleic and linolenic acid, which are needed to make omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids, respectively. These are “essential” because the body must obtain them from the diet since they cannot be made from another type of fat. Common sources of EFAs include leafy vegetables, seeds, nuts, beans, grains and seafood. The benefits of EFAs range from preventing heart disease & stroke, improving the dryness associated with eczema and psoriasis, and relieving symptoms of ulcerative colitis, joint pain and menstrual pain. Omega-6 fatty acids usually do not require supplementation since enough of this fat can generally obtained in a typical diet. Omega-3 fatty acids, on the other hand, are derived from vegetable sources in the form of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which needs to be further converted to

the active forms eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docoxahexanonic acid (DHA) before our bodies can use it. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish and krill oil are already in the active EPA and DHA forms, but consumption of seafood may be limited due to levels of heavy metals and environmental toxins. When looking for a good fish-sourced supplement, it is important to consider the purity (e.g., levels of toxic chemicals such as heavy metals, dioxins, and PCBs) as well as the freshness (e.g., level of peroxides). PRO-OMEGA (by Nordic Naturals) and OMEGAGENICS™ EPA-DHA 720 (by Metagenics) are examples of reliable options for fish oils as both companies adhere to very strict standards and use third-party batch testing to ensure the purity of their products. For those who want to avoid swallowing large softgels, SEALICIOUS™ is a liquid formula that is available in many delicious flavours. GAMMA LINOLEIC ACID (GLA) is a specific omega-6 found in borage and hemp oils that can help with diabetic neuropathy as well as skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. GLA SKIN OIL ™ LIQUID and GLA BORAGE OIL™ Capsules (by Lorna Vanderhaeghe) are good options for supplementing with this omega-6 fatty acid. MEDIUM CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES (MCTs) are semi-synthetic lipids typically derived from coconut or palm kernel oils. Unlike other dietary fats that are broken down and absorbed through the lymphatic system and require the presence of bile salts for digestion, MCTs are absorbed unchanged and transported directly to the liver where they are metabolized into energy. Because

of this, they are becoming increasingly popular amongst athletes to support their energy needs during continuous and strenuous exercise. MCTs can induce satiety, which leads to decreased caloric intake, but although MCTs can improve body composition, they do not actually lead to weight loss. COCONUT OIL is a good source of MCTs as are purified versions such as MCT OIL (by Omega Nutrition). The term CONJUGATED LINOLEIC ACIDS(CLAs) refers to isomers (i.e., differing chemical forms) of linoleic acid. They are found naturally in dairy products and beef, but can also be synthesized from oils rich in linoleic acids such as safflower or soybean oil. Supplementing with CLA can increase lean body mass and in particular, appears to reduce belly fat. Lorna Vanderhaeghe’s CLA PLUS™ combines CLA with green tea extract to help increase lean muscle mass, accelerate fat loss, and help with weight loss. Supplementing with fats can result in nausea, belching, and loose stools. Fatty acids can also interfere with medications for blood-thinning as well as high blood pressure, so always discuss with your doctor or pharmacist before taking any supplements. The bottom line on dietary and supplemental fats is the old adage, everything in moderation! Christine is a registered pharmacist with training in Natural Health Products and a passion for Integrative Medicine. She works alongside her brother, Fred at their unique family-owned and operated Pharmasave in Downtown Cloverdale, BC. They specialize in natural remedies and compounding for both human and veterinarian use.

The false economy of Black Friday Spending in the U.S. keeps Americans employed, and that’s a good thing – for Americans Many Canadians heading down to the U.S. to take advantage of Black Friday sales probably think it’s no big deal to shop outside the country. After all, many of the stores at local malls are U.S.-based chain stores anyways — really, what difference does it make to head south? Well, the truth is, taking your hard-earned dollars out of the country does hurt Canada and here’s why: jobs and taxes. Dollars that stay in Canada keep Canadians employed. It’s that simple. If you spend in Washington state, you are keeping Americans employed, and that’s a good thing — for Americans. But your neighbours here in the Cloverdale community need jobs, too, and Canadian retailers are employing your kids, your neighbours’ kids, and moms, dads and grandparents of kids who live here. These jobs enable your neighbours to pay taxes, which keeps our social welfare safety net, including public health care, intact. If that doesn’t convince you to shop local,

including during the Dec. 1 to 7 Buy Local Week, here are a few more reasons: • Shopping diversity: Small business owners offer unique products that you can’t get anywhere else and our marketplace would be poorer without them. Instead of heading south to shop and spending all that money

on gas and food, check out one of the many local gift shops in the historic town centre. By shopping at these small local stores, you will enrich the marketplace and ensure there are more interesting places to buy goods in your neighbourhood. • Price check: There are some products available in the U.S. that are cheaper but many others, such as electronics, for example, are basically the same price in the Lower Mainland as they are in, say Bellingham, especially once you figure in the dollar difference. Other issues to consider are the environmental benefits of driving less and keeping your carbon footprint small, and shopping local at craft fairs in Cloverdale and the Surrey winter farmers’ market. Not only will you be putting your dollars to work in a way that provides economic spin-offs for your community, you won’t have to sit in a border lineup. Now that sounds like a good deal.

love the idea of a non-toy Christmas. This is not as bah-humbug as it might initially sound. Proponents of the non-toy Christmas aren’t saying no to presents – they’re saying yes to experiences and creating memories. Last year the presents under our Christmas tree spilled out and around its base. My then two-and-a-half-year-old was initially ecstatic, but soon became overwhelmed and wanted to play with the presents she’d already opened rather than continue to open more. A week later, she probably couldn’t remember half the gifts she received or appreciate who thought to give them to her. What if, instead of pieces of battery operated plastic, we gave our children tickets to Science World or the Vancouver Aquarium? Music lessons, art classes, or movie passes? I’ve already purchased tickets to a concert in January by her favourite children’s musician that will make a great stocking stuffer, and plan to sign her up for a local 4Cats art studio workshop. Of course, it’s always fun to have something tangible to unwrap and little ones may not get excited over pieces of paper. Concert tickets could come with a CD, dance lessons with ballet slippers, a flashlight with the promise of a camping trip.

Santa parade to light up Cloverdale By Jennifer Lang As dusk falls a week Sunday, the ninth annual Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights will roll through the historic Cloverdale downtown, setting the stage for the Christmas season. It’s a dazzling parade with floats and vehicles decorated with strings of lights, offering plenty of community appeal, from high school bands and service clubs, to square dancers and race horse drivers. The parade features floats, boats, horses, marching units, antique cars and trucks, buses and the arrival of Santa Claus. It also features lighted big rigs and trucks from the Island Equipment Owners Association and local Fraser Valley trucks. The parade route starts at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds parking lot at 60 Avenue and will make its way to historic 176 Street, heading east on 60 Avenue to 177B Street, then south on 177B Street, right at 58 Avenue, and then west to 176 Street. From there, the parade turns left and heads south to Highway 10. Get there early to stake out a spot with a clear view of the action – the parade draws thousands. There are pre-parade festivities, including live music at Hawthorne Square, located in the centre of the 5700-block of 176 Street, across from the Clova Cinema. Please bring a non-perishable food item or unwrapped toy to the Santa

Ten things I love about Christmas By Stephanie Cadieux 1. Hot chocolate. I’m not sure why I still crave this sweet treat at Christmastime, but it’s probably because I have very fond memories of sipping hot chocolate (complete with a handful of mini marshmallows, of course!) after trudging through snow on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree. 2. Shortbread, and more shortbread. Yes. I love cookies, and my favourites – cranberry shortbread and apricot jam thumbprints – only make their appearance at Christmas. 3. Twinkling lights. I love lights on homes, in store windows, on mantels and trees. I can think of few things prettier than the starry, inspired glow of twinkling Christmas lights. 4. Carols. From “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing” to “Jingle Bell Rock,” I love the smile these seasonal tunes bring unabashedly to people’s faces, including mine. 5. Classic movies – of the seasonal variety. For more years than I would prefer to disclose, the Grinch has made an annual appearance on my TV. I expect he will again this year, along with The Sound of Music, A Christmas Carol, Home Alone, White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, and my most recent addition to the lineup, Love Actually. 6. New Pajamas. Cuddly, warm and often obnoxious in their design, nothing

reminds me of good Christmas memories more often during the year than the gift of Christmas PJs. 7. Mail of the snail variety. Once a year, the trips to the mailbox become a delight because bills and advertising flyers are replaced – or at least outnumbered – by cards and photos from friends and family near and far. 8. Traditions. Sometimes corny and definitely predictable, family traditions bring a sense of timelessness and comfort. In my family, it’s a trip to the Stanley Park Christmas train, turkey dinner with all the trimmings, and Christmas Crackers complete with paper crowns and knock-knock jokes. 9. Christmas Trees decorated in all their glory. 10. Magic. Whether you celebrate the meaning of Christmas from a religious perspective or a secular one, the sense of magic and love that the holiday season brings cannot be missed. It’s a time of year when little ones’ eyes sparkle with wonder, families spend time together, and communities make extra efforts to care for one another.

Magic is what Christmas is really about... ....the magic of reaching out and celebrating with each other. We do it freely during the holiday season. We often extend a help-

ing hand to those in need. We pause and do the things that, frankly, we forget to do the rest of year. In the midst of all of the commercial trappings of the holiday season, we reflect on the year that has just ended and set goals for the year ahead. And, truth be told, our reflections and hopes for the future are never about the kinds of stuff you find under a Christmas tree. Most of us wish for continued good health for those we love and more time to spend with the people in our lives from whom we draw happiness and strength.

Christmas HAS ARRIVED

Some of us commit – or perhaps recommit – to activities that will strengthen our communities. At Christmas, we celebrate the magic of life. Let us all remember that this magic can be found throughout the year. It’s easy to find, free to pass on, and is the best gift we can give to ourselves and each other. We are all better as individuals, as families, and as communities if we take a moment to find the magic in every day throughout the year. – Stephanie Cadieux is B.C. Minister of Children and Family Development and MLA for Surrey-Cloverdale.

Giving with the spirit of the season By Jennifer Lang “It’s a time of year when... communities make extra efforts to care for one another.” – Stephanie Cadieux, MLA With that sentiment in mind, we present a sample of the many worthwhile initiatives that assist the less fortunate in Cloverdale and area.

New clothes needed Hyland House Cloverdale, a 10-bed facility for men and women, can always use donations of personal care items for clients. Socks are in really high demand, along with new underwear (for men and women), toiletries, soap, lotion, toothpaste and toothbrushes, Chapstick, shampoo and conditioner, and even shaving razors. Bus tickets are a current special request – staff don’t have any at this time to give out. Donations of clothing are also gratefully accepted: T-shirts, sweat pants and sweatshirts (unisex, if possible). Even getting coffee as a donation would be nice, added Peter Fedos, senior program manager of Options Community Resource Society. Donations can be dropped off at the shelter, 17910 Colebrook Road, Surrey. Call 604-574FILE PHOTO 4341 for more information. Sandy Doyle and Marie Kovacks were part of the army of volunteers who helped sort and assemble donations for the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper program last year.

A community appeal If you’re in need, the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program is there to help. The local volunteer initiative distributes hampers and gifts to Cloverdale’s less fortunate residents. Churches, schools, plus many businesses and organizations all work together to ensure Christmas comes to everyone in our community. The 2014 food and cash donation drive runs to Dec. 14.

More than 200 donation boxes have been deployed across Cloverdale, inside businesses and schools. There also two upcoming food drive days: the first is Friday, Nov. 28 at Cloverdale Crossing Shopping Centre from 1-7 p.m., and the second is Friday, Dec. 5 at Hillcrest Village Shopping Centre, from 1-7 p.m. Non-perishable food items, new, unwrapped toys for children and mall or store gift cards for teens are urgently needed – along with cash donations. For more information on donating, volunteering or to

apply, please call 604-574-4001, ext. 107, or email cloverdalechristmashampers@gmail. com. Hamper pickup day is Dec. 20 at Pacific Community Church at 5337 180 Street, which acts as the nerve centre for the many volunteers who assemble hundreds of hampers in the ample warehouse. A toy room is set up so recipients can pick out presents for kids and teens. Volunteers are needed to work from 1:308:30 p.m. from Monday, Dec. 15 to Saturday, Dec. 20. In 2012, more than $50,000 in donations of cash and food helped 325 adults and 200 children, or about 300 families. The program serves Cloverdale between 40 Avenue to 80 Avenue (north-south) and from 164 Street to 196 Street (west-east). This year’s application deadline is Tuesday, Dec. 9. Application forms are at http://pacificcommunity.ca/ministries/cloverdale-hamperprogram/pages/how-to-get-a-hamper. Cash donations receive a tax deductible receipt. Please make cheques payable to Pacific Community Church.

Giving, a year-round thing

In Cloverdale, the Surrey Food Bank assists 80 to 100 families every two weeks from the food distribution centre at Zion Lutheran Church, 5950 179 Street. Across the city, the Surrey Food Bank helps feed 15,000 people a month, and 41 per cent of clients are children and babies. Food and fundraising drives are year-round, not just at Christmastime.

Cobs collects clothing Cobs Bread at Clayton Crossing is taking advantage of one of its busiest days of the year to help Cloverdale’s less fortunate. The store is collecting donations of warm winter clothing in aid of Hyland House Cloverdale, a 10-bed shelter for men and women that also has outreach programs to help homeless in the community. Drop off day at Cobs is Dec. 24 – a day when a flood of customers pours in to pick up special orders on Christmas Eve. The “bread lounge” – a covered tent – will be set up out back, where customers can pick up their orders, plus sample hot cider and baked goodies. “This is our busiest day of the year, and many, many of our customers come in to pick up their Christmas day buns,” says Leanne Hosler, owner, adding this year, she wanted to encourage customers to help the community.

24 to Dec. 4 for the 19th annual campaign. “Last year, the response to Coats for Kids was heartwarming as Lower Mainland residents donated more than 3,000 coats, scarves, gloves, blankets and new, unwrapped toys and gifts for children, teenagers and adults,” GVHBA chair Ron Rapp said, adding this year they’re asking people to consider donating hoodies for hard-tobuy-for teens. “We want to make sure we have everyone covered!” Rapp said.

After a quick diaper change, I carried on, with a squirmy, cranky toddler straddling my hip. Not to be outdone by her little sister, my oldest decided that she no longer wanted to be confined to her stroller. “I want out. Now,” Molly pouted. I barely had time to unfasten the buckles and she had bolted from the seat. “Get back here, now,” I demanded. Red faced, exhausted and sweaty, I was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

cherubic little angels had caused me so much grief mere minutes before? Across the checkout line, a young woman in her 20s with a dainty designer handbag was admiring my zonked out offspring. I studied her closely through my heavy eyes and noticed there were no dark circles under her dolledup, sparkling orbs, no stains on her perfectly-pressed pants or leaks springing from the front of her shirt. She was like the ghost of Christmas shopping past, come back to haunt me.

“What adorable little angels,” she said, stopping briefly on her way out, one hand on her tiny waist. “I can’t wait to have kids. And two daughters? They must be so much fun to shop with.” I nodded politely, wiped the sweat from my brow and uttered the lie that every mom tells those who have yet to break into the club. “Absolutely, it’s a real blast. Just wait.” - Kristyl Clark, a former Black Press reporter, is founder of valleymom.ca. Follow her on twitter @shesavalleymom.

By Jennifer Lang “‘Fra-gee-lay.’ It must be Italian.” “I think that says ‘fragile’, honey.” “Oh yeah.” A ‘fragile’ leg lamp like the one featured in the classic 1983 film, A Christmas Story, has a place of honour each December in the window of the Denexter family’s home at 17388 62A Avenue in Cloverdale. In the movie, set in 1940s Indiana, Ralphie’s Old Man, Mr. Parker, hates hounds, blown fuses and dealing with the blasted, smoke-blowing clinker of a furnace. But he loves his lamp. He won it. It’s A Major Award. “Oh boy, oh boy,” he trills, opening the large wooden crate that’s just been delivered, hoisting up a provocatively-shaped, fishnet-stockinged leg. “Would you look at that?” he gasps admiringly. “It’s a leg!” To his wife’s horror, the crate also contains a lampshade. “This is a lamp! What a great lamp,” he says, adding he knows just the place for it: right in the middle of the living room window, for all of Cleveland Street to see. “Will you look at that?” he says, admiring the gaudily glowing limb. “It’s indescribably beautiful. It reminds me of the Fourth of July!” It’s a classic scene from a classic film. All little Ralphie wants for Christmas is an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action TwoHundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. “You’ll shoot your eye out, kid,” the boy’s warned time and again, thwarted in his efforts to convince his parents, teacher and the big man himself, Santa, that he deserves one this year.

All he got out was... “‘Notafinga!!’” *** “He looks like a deranged Easter bunny.” “He does not!” “He does too. He looks like a pink nightmare.” *** “The heavenly aroma still hung in the house. But it was gone, all gone! No turkey! No turkey sandwiches! No turkey salad! No turkey gravy! Turkey hash! Turkey a la King! Or gallons of turkey soup! Gone.

Classic crooners play on in vinyl By Jennifer Lang When it comes to mixing up a seasonal soundtrack, Elvis Presley and Bing Crosby and Christmas go together like rum and eggnog. Savvy music fans in search of a deeper experience are flipping through the stacks in search of musical gold at places like Timeless Treasures in Cloverdale, where sales of second-hand vinyl records from every era are through the roof. Fortunately, for those in search of a holiday fix of mid-century LPs, proprietor Adrian Clements has done the heavy lifting, salting away classic Christmas albums like Der Bingle’s Merry Christmas on Decca Records (“White Christmas”, “Silver Bells”) and Elvis’s Christmas Album on RCA (“Blue Christmas”, “Silent Night”, “Here Comes Santa Claus”, to name a few.) What began as a side offering in his eclectic store – initially barely noticeable next to old video games, comics, antique furniture, knick knacks and collectibles when he opened the 176 Street storefront a couple of years ago – vinyl records now represent 40 to 50 per cent of sales, and a good portion of floor space. Clements says he’s planning on stocking needles and other record-player supplies to keep up with demand for what might be dubbed tech support for a legion of analogue aficionados. Nostalgia doesn’t come cheap; a record in good condition will run you $10, $20 or more – depending on how collectible it is. For a medium that supposedly died with the advent of the Compact Disc in the late 1980s, the vinyl record album is enjoying a post-millennial Renaissance among discerning music fans.

Adrian Clements of Timeless Treasures in Cloverdale shows off albums by two ultimate Christmas crooners – Elvis Presley and Bing Crosby. These classic seasonal albums are ready for a spin on your turntable this holiday season.

Clements says records that were played a lot – like Led Zeppelin’s back catalogue – are actually hard to come by in mint condition. Fans wore out their vinyl, playing their favourite tunes over and over, the discs acquiring the characteristic pops, skips and scratches along the way.

King Harry Belafonte and more. At least half of his record buyers are repeat customers. The rest are amazed, exclaiming: “‘You’ve got records?’” Clements says a new generation is discovering quality sound and enjoying the ritual of putting a record on the turntable, dropping the needle, and settling in for an entire side of an album. Customer Lane Hogenes is a recent convert; part of a generation raised on ubiquitous, cheap MP3 downloads, and possessed of ever-increasing computer storage space, a scenario that doesn’t necessarily set the stage for music appreciation. For one thing, he says, as computer storage space has increased, people don’t have as much reason to edit or limit their music collections. Streaming has likewise made listening to music less of an occasion than an opportunity to treat music like something that’s put on in the background to match the mood of any social occasion. But put on a record, he says, and everyone pays attention. “It’s the ritual,” he says. “It brings thoughtfulness back into music.” Hogenes cleaned up his dad’s 1970s Technics turntable and plugged it into his modern sound system (discovering he’d need a pre-amp to make it work properly) and was hooked. The LPs hold up well in terms of sound, but it’s more about appreciating the sound and experience of playing a record, he says. His record collection now spans 250 titles, all “bought in the last two months,” he jokes, admitting he is a frequent presence in the store.

Thursday, November November 27, 27, 2014 2014 The The Cloverdale Cloverdale Reporter Reporter 25 25 Thursday,

It’s a wonderful Christmas movie list By Jennifer Lang The holidays have inspired countless films. Here are some enduring classics that hold up year after year, improve on repeated viewing, and are guaranteed to put you in the holiday spirit. There’s no longer a local video rental store, and it may be difficult to find these titles to stream, but keep an eye out: maybe you can pick them up on DVD.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer Everyone’s seen this 1964 stop-motion animated classic, directed by Kizo Nagashima and Larry Roemer, and featuring the voices of Billie Mae Richards and Burl Ives. Teased about his light-emitting nose, young Rudolph runs away from Santa’s workshop only to save the day when fog threatens to ruin Santa’s Christmas Eve flight. It features such colourful characters as the pick axe-wielding Yukon Cornelius, the toothy Abominable Snowmonster and Hermey, the elf who’d rather be a dentist. It spawned several sequels, including Rudolph’s Shiny New Year (1975) and Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July (1975).

Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

A box office dud when first released, the film gained cult-like status thanks to syndication on TV. Much of it is quite bleak, even despairing and existential, but the story ends in a triumphant celebration of courage and sacrifice for the common good. For those looking for catharsis. Starring James Stewart, Donna Reed, and Lionel Barrymore, and directed by Frank Capra. Best ending ever, eh Clarence? (1946)

Home Alone Eight year-old Kevin MacAllister (Macaulay Culkin) is left behind to fend for himself in the family home when he’s accidentally left behind when everyone else goes on Christmas vacation. A pair of burglars get more than they bargained for when Kevin inventively defends the home. It was so popular it spawned a sequel, set in New York City. (1990)

Meet Me in St. Louis Directed by Vincente Minnelli and starring Judy Garland. A plot synopsis doesn’t capture the true magic of this delightful film, an MGM musical about a family living in St. Louis in 1903 and who is reluctantly planIMDB.COM ning to move to New York City. Features “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, Adapted from an illustrated children’s and the memorable “Trolley Song”. (1944) book, The Polar Express is a storybook brought to life.

A Christmas Carol (Scrooge)

Not to be confused with the feature-length film (2000), this favourite is animated and directed by Chuck Jones of Bugs Bunny fame and features the voice of Boris Karloff (Frankenstein) as the narrator. Adapted for the small screen from the 1957 book, the mean Mr. Grinch plots to steal Christmas from the Whos of Whoville. Highlights include poor Max the Dog and little Cindy Lou Who, who is no more than two. It’s a funny, thoughtful story – a true classic that captures the spirit of the season in a tidy 26 minutes. (1966)

It’s a Wonderful Life Long-suffering savings and loan operator George Bailey finds out what life would be like if he’d never existed. Not a Christmas movie so much as a long, dark teatime of the soul.

There’s a lot of imitators out there, but this one, starring Alastair Sim as Scrooge, is the ultimate film adaptation of the Charles Dickens story. Scrooge is portrayed not as a miser but as a tormented, lost soul. Chilling, supernatural and heartwarming at the same time. (1951)

The Polar Express Directed by Robert Zemeckis and featuring the voice of Tom Hanks. An animated story of how a boy’s faith is rewarded one Christmas Eve when a steam train pulls up outside his house and takes him on a mysterious, thrilling journey to the North Pole – home of Santa’s Workshop. Adapted from an illustrated children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg. (2004)

The Life of Brian To call Monty Python’s Life of Brian a Christmas movie admittedly stretches the genre. But from the nativity scene to the uplifiting musical crucifixion, this irreverent (blasphemous to some) comedic romp, directed by Terry Jones and starring Graham Chapman and John Cleese, is arguably the Pythons’ immaculate concep-

tion. Brian of Nazareth is born in a stable on the original Christmas, wise men show up but then move on to the real prophet next door. Hilarity ensues for the rest of the mistaken messiah’s life as he gains unwanted followers and falls in with one of several resistance groups, seeking to outdo each other and topple their oppressive overlords, the Romans. “What have the Romans ever done for us?” (A long list, as it turns out.) Loaded with eternal social commentary, this is a movie that keeps on giving and offers a twisted antidote to the saccharine of the season, just when you’re on the verge of joining the Popular Front of Judea. Er, the People’s Front. (1979) – What are your family’s favourites? Write us at newsroom@cloverdalereporter.com. We’ll share your suggestions with our readers in an upcoming edition of The Reporter.

The Atom A3 Colts earned bronze at a tournament earlier this month and will introduce Hockey Night in Canada – twice.

Hockey Night calling Cloverdale Atom A3 team to be featured on most-watched show By Jennifer Lang They’re ready to score big on Hockey Night in Canada. The Cloverdale Minor Hockey Association’s rep team, the Atom A3 Colts, will be featured twice on the most-watched sports program in the country. Through Scotiabank’s sponsorship program, the Colts will introduce Hockey Night In Canada twice next month in segments airing on Dec. 13 and on Dec. 20. The team boasts 17 young, as-

piring hockey players aged 8 to 10 years. Sources say they give nothing but their all, on and off the ice. Representatives from the show taped the boys’ practice in Cloverdale last month. Meanwhile, the Atom A3 Colts earned bronze at the Great Northwest Squirt A Silvertip Veteran’s Day Challenge, held in Everett, WA, over the Nov. 8 to 10 weekend. To date, the Colts are on record with 11 wins, five losses, and 1 loss

in overtime. Under the direction of their Coach, Rick Cavalleri and his coaching staff, the Atom A3 Colts’ team roster includes Austin Cavallari, Braeden Caruso, DJ Cash, Jamie Fuchs, Jonathan Sores, Joshua Crandell, Keagan Hadley, Keaton Ribeiro, Lairaby Hiatt, Levi Touhey, Linden Kodak, Marcus Olsen, Matthew Wise, Noah Mitchell, Nolan Foster, Parker Magnuson, and Peyton Mithmuangneua.
