Health pros & cops must share info A coroner’s jury makes 16 recommendations By Gary McKenna THE TRI-CITY NEWS

Police and health authorities need to develop a coordinated approach to dealing with people suffering from mental illness, said the jury at the coroner’s inquest into the death of Coquitlam mom Colette Salemink. Salemink died after her mentally ill son, Blake Salemink, who was on leave from Riverview Hospital, set fire to the family home in the spring of 2010. Earlier this year after a trial, a B.C. Supreme Court judge found Blake Salemink not guilty by reason of mental disorder of arson and manslaughter, and the man has resided at the Colony Farm Psychiatric Hospital ever since.

Hundreds of people turned out for the 13th annual Hyde Creek Salmon Festival on Sunday. At the hatchery off Coast Meridian Road and at Hyde Creek rec centre, they viewed a few returning salmon, checked out displays, got their faces painted, made crafts and learned about fish and raptors. Above, a volunteer from OWL (Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society) displays a screech owl. Right, a salmon in Hyde Creek.

Th e j u ry r e c o m mended that Coquitlam RCMP, Port Moody Police Department and Fraser Health establish a memorandum of understanding that will coordinate the agencies’ approach to dealing with people with mental illness. see 16 WAYS, page A3

Scare, no bomb Coquitlam RCMP blocked traffic at a local business on United B o u l eva rd M o n d ay morning after receiving a report about a suspicious-looking device that later proved to be safe. Just after 11 a.m., customers told staff at a business they had seen what looked like a pipe bomb in the parking lot and police were called. “We take public safety very seriously,” said Cpl. Jamie Chung. “We shut down the area from foot and vehicle traffic for several hours until we were certain the area is safe once again. “With the assistance

from Explosive Disposal Unit, the found object was rendered safe.” It was later determined that the device was a cylindrical container that is commonly used by commercial truck drivers to hold utility trailer registration documents. “We think the paper container was accidentally dropped from a vehicle,” Chung said. There has been a rash of real and false bomb scares this month in Metro Vancouver, including one in Tsawwassen and another on a SkyTrain track in Surrey. spayne@tricitynews.com

16 ways to help

amanda Todd is remembered

continued from front

As well, the jury said resources and information should be shared and a copy of the recommendations should be used for training purposes for general duty officers. The recommendations also include pairing police with psychiatric nurses, for a trial period, to deal with patients who have violated the conditions of their extended leave from mental health facilities. It also recommends police be given the power to temporarily revoke extended leaves when conditions are broken. Communication between police and mental health services was highlighted in the report. The jury said psychiatric doctors should be notified any time one of their patients has an interaction or incident that involves police, and that information about leave conditions from a mental health facility be posted to the Canadian Police Information Centre, a database used by police. In the weeks leading up to the fire, Blake Salemink’s mental condition appeared to be deteriorating, his sister Erica told The Tri-City News last summer. On April 13, 2010, a mental health warrant was drawn up that could have put her brother back in the hospital, however the document was never executed. Four days later, police were called to the Salemink residence after he threatened to hire a hit man from Mexico to kill his mother. When officers arrived, Colette told them she did not believe the threat was serious and her son was not taken into custody. On April 19, 2010 Blake piled some papers on the floor downstairs in their home and set them on fire. He then left the scene, crossed the U.S. border and was attempting to make his way to Mexico when authorities arrested him in Oregon. gmckenna@tricitynews.com

Port Coquitlam neighbours of Carol Todd put up their Christmas lights in time for her daughter, Amanda’s, memorial service Sunday in colours of purple, pink, and blue. “You will not ever understand the warm feelings I get as I see my neighbours brave the wind and the rain to get their lights up this weekend,” said Todd in an email. It was always a family tradition to get the Christmas lights up on the house before Nov. 27, Amanda’s birthday.

‘I hope one day I can write a song’ Snowflakes and songs at Sunday celebration of life

Social media survey

By Monisha Martins Black PreSS

Snowflakes flickered on the walls of the Red Robinson Theatre as friends, family and strangers, moved by the story of a Port Coquitlam teen pushed to the brink by bullies, bid her farewell on Sunday. Affectionately nicknamed “Princess Snowflake” by her mom — because every snowflake is unique — Amanda Todd left a message to the world in a video she posted on YouTube weeks before she took her own life in October at the age of 15. The heartbreaking video, which has gone viral, documented years of torment she endured as the target of bullies online and at school. “I have lost my daughter, a bright, strong, unique young woman,” Carol Todd, Amanda’s mother, said as she choked back tears while addressing the packed theatre. “Although she is gone from our physical world, she has left behind a larger-than-life message that has sparked the world and has made it open its eyes, its ears and its heart.” The celebration of life featured singer Cole Armour, who performed a song called “You,” inspired by classmates who have been bullied. “ Yo u ’ r e a m a z i n g , you’re the one and only you, don’t change you,” sang the 14-year-old. Nov. 27 would have been Amanda’s 16th birthday and Sunday’s

Speakers talk about Amanda Todd — the Port Coquitlam teen who took her own life last month and whose video about being bullied went viral after her death — at a celebration of life on Sunday at the Red Robinson Show Theatre in Coquitlam. service, complete with cupcakes, was the big birthday party she would have wanted. The teen, who grew up in Port Coquitlam and Maple Ridge, loved singing, could command the attention of a room full of people and often wore a memorable, mischievous grin on her face, the audience heard. A teacher at Coquitlam’s Alternate Basic Education program (CABE) remembered Amanda as a girl with a big heart. “I could see that some days were hard for Amanda,” said Leah Pells. “No matter what was happening to her, she cared for all the students in the class, asking other

students if they were OK and worrying when they didn’t show up for class. She felt things so deeply, which was a blessing and a curse for her.” Amanda wanted to leave a mark on the world and was determined to help others learn from her experience. “I hope one day I can write a song about bullying,” Amanda wrote, “so when kids are alone, staring out of the window crying, they can play my song and know that it’s not your fault and things will get better.” Vancouver singersongwriter Elise Estrada closed the emotional celebration with her song “Wonder Woman,”

dedicated to Amanda. Proceeds from the sale of the single will be donated to anti-bullying charities. Amanda’s story has already inspired others. A letter from an 11-year-old girl, read during the service by a teacher, thanked Amanda for sharing her struggles with the world. “You are the one who made me brave and I’m glad you did,” wrote the girl. “You showed me strength, courage, bravery and confidence, of being excited about getting to school and just pushing all that fear away for a while.” Amanda’s best friends, cheerleading coach, teachers and neighbours promised to be ambassadors of love by spreading

her anti-bullying message to the world. Her Port Coquitlam neighbours hung up their Christmas lights early, turning them on Sunday after the celebration. Bryan Durand, the Todds’ next door neighbour, said the houses in Douglas Terrace are also adorned with snowflakes. Amanda’s father Norm Todd recounted memories of a family vacation and how Amanda dragged him on the “biggest, baddest, scariest” ride during a trip to an amusement park. Life was always an adventure for her, he said. “I’ve lost a big part of my heart that will never mend and always belong to Amanda,” he said.

Coquitlam tackles duplex, townhouse, other proposals By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

Coquitlam council turned down a development permit for a sevenunit townhouse development next to the nonprofit society’s retirement residence, citing concerns over parking, building form and massing. When council issued the development permit for the Earl Haig Society in 2008, it included approval for four market townhouses at 491 Laurentian St. that would be sold to generate funds for the society. The townhouses were never built, however, and the property was sold. The new owner was hoping to build seven units of three to four bedrooms as well as underground parking. Staff recommended approving the permit, noting it meets official community plan, zoning and development permit area guidelines for the southwest Coquitlam neighbourhood. But councillors Mae Reid and Brent Asmundson objected, saying seven units were too great a density for the property. Councillors Neil Nicholson and Selina

Tri-City regional business licence one step closer: see next page Robinson added the design was “too clunky” and would overshadow the smaller single-family homes nearby. Coun. Terry O’Neill echoed staff’s comments that the application meets zoning and OCP requirements, and density shouldn’t be a factor in considering a development permit. He was the sole vote against a motion to reject the permit. Other Coquitlam news:

SRS. HOUSING

A proposal for a sevenunit seniors housing project at 352 Marmont St. was given first reading at Monday’s Coquitlam council meeting. The Bulgarian Home Society of BC, which currently operates the t wo - s t o r ey d u p l e x , hopes to renovate the building into seven onebedroom rental units for low-income seniors. Funding for the project would come from the BC Housing Community Partnership Initiative. Councillors raised concerns about whether the

seven parking stalls and one visitor spot would be sufficient and whether there would be accessibility features. Mayor Richard Stewart took issue with concerns raised by surrounding neighbours, however, many of whom want the area to remain single-family residential and object to rental housing in their area. “It troubles me when I see concerns about rental housing being translated into the kinds of people that rent,” Stewart said. “We need seniors housing and we need seniors housed affordably.” The application for official community plan and zoning bylaw amendments — from neighbourhood attached residential to low-density apartment residential and from two-family residential to two-storey low-density apartment residential — will go to a public hearing.

zoning bylaw amendments for an application to convert a single-family dwelling at 1408 Austin Ave. to a four-unit singlefamily strata development. The standalone homes will range from 2,081 to 2,113 sq. ft. over three floors, one of which will be a basement with no access to the outside. Staff recommended approval of the project because it encourages innovative housing types and a diversity of housing choices, promotes upgrades to existing neighbourhoods and offers high-quality design. The owner will need a landscape architect to develop a plan for the site since none of the mature trees can be retained. A development variance permit is also required because at 21.6 m, the lot falls just short of the minimum 22.5 m width required. Council took issue with the amount of parking but agreed the proposal offers a positive infill development. The zoning bylaw amendment application to change the property from one-family residential to RT3-quadriplex will go to a public hearing. spayne@tricitynews.com

Tri-City business licence another step closer Tri-City businesses operating in more than one of the municipalities will almost surely be able to pay a simple flat fee for an inter-municipal business licence, allowing them to operate legally throughout the region. Monday, Coquitlam council added its unanimous approval for first three readings of the business licence bylaw; Port Coquitlam and Port Moody did the same last week. Coun. Selina Robinson said the move shows what’s possible when the three cities work together on a project that will make

life easier for local residents. “We’re moving from collaboration to ‘collaboraction’ and we ought to be doing more of this,” she said. “I hope it signals further ‘co-operaction’ as well,” quipped Coun. Terry O’Neill. The inter-municipal business licence (IBL) will allow business owners — including plumbers, landscapers and caterers — who work across municipal boundaries to pay $165 on top of their annual business licence for a mobile business permit. Business owners are still required to purchase a standard licence in the city

Inclusiveness topic at Nov. 28 DPAC meeting

Teen driver dies The driver in a singlevehicle crash last week on Shaughnessy Street died in hospital on Sunday afternoon. The 17-year-old had been driving south on S h a u g h n e s s y, n e a r Metcalfe Way, on Nov. 13 when he lost control of his vehicle and it struck hit a tree. He had been on life support since the crash. “We would like to extend our deepest condolences to the victim’s friends and family,” said Cpl. Jamie Chung. “We ask for the privacy of the family to be respected in this very tragic event. The victim’s name is not being released. Our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family through this difficult time.” Coquitlam RCMP are asking any witnesses who have not yet spoken to the police to call investigators at 604-945-1550 and quote file number 2012-31909. spayne@tricitynews.com

Most have shopped recently in U.S.: poll Quarter of crossborder shoppers feel guilty about it

45% 15%

By Jeff Nagel Black Press

Two-thirds of B.C. residents have crossed the U.S. border to shop in the past year and 45% have done so within the past three months, according to a new poll. Ipsos Reid conducted the online survey of nearly 2,500 B.C. residents in October. Ninety per cent of respondents knew dutyfree limits on purchases Canadians bring back were increased June 1 for overnight visits to the U.S. but only 9% said that led them to shop more over the line. Retail price differences between U.S. and Canadian merchants was the top reason for cross-border shopping — listed by two-thirds of respondents.

of respondents said they had shopped across the line in the past three months said they had lied to Canada customs agents about how much they spent in the U.S.

The availability of deals in the U.S., better selection at retailers there and the favourable currency exchange rate were also factors cited by about half of those polled. The costs of heading across the border — gas, food or a hotel room — were less likely to drive decision making, according to respondents. “It will be interesting to see how these numbers are impacted by the influx of American retailers to Canada,” Ipsos Reid senior vice-president Dave Pierzchala said. “These figures suggest that Canadians will still be heading to the U.S. unless the U.S. retailers operating in

Canada offer pricing in Canadian locations that is in line with their U.S. pricing.” (American retailing giant Target is set to open in some former Zellers stores, including the one at Coquitlam Centre mall. And Nordstrom is taking over the former Sears space at Pacific Centre in downtown Vancouver.) Nearly a quarter of respondents said they sometimes feel guilty about cross-border shopping instead of buying in Canada. Asked if they had ever lied to a customs agent about how much they spent in the U.S., 15% said yes and 83% said no. jnagel@blackpress.ca

Suicidal youths go untreated, says Turpel-Lafond in report By Tom Fletcher

cash to fight bullying

Black Press

VICTORIA — B.C.’s child protection system has lost most of its ability to deal with severely abused, depressed and suicidal teens in provincial care, their independent advocate says. A review of 89 cases by Mary Ellen TurpelLafond, the representative for children and youth, finds common circumstances of severe problems, notably mental illness, domestic violence, sexual and physical abuse, alcohol and drug abuse by young people or their parents, and running away to live on the streets. All the cases are children who had contact with ministry social workers, in some cases from infancy. Three quarters of them were removed from their homes because their parents’ behaviour was a threat to them. The study revealed that they were shuffled to different group or foster homes an average of a dozen times, with some moving as much as 30 times in three years. Fifteen of the children in the study killed themselves, and the other 74

The review found that the youths, aged 12 to 19, were not assessed or treated for trauma, and caregivers are not trained to deal with mental illness or the effects of abuse. Turpel-Lafond said in an interview that while she admires the willingness of “mom and pop” foster parents to take in abused and mentally ill children, the turnover shows they can’t do the job without specialized training and a constant presence to help stabilize the teens’ home and school life. “This is a pretty hor-

Schools, police agencies and community groups that are working to combat bullying can now apply to share in the up to $1 million in grants from civil forfeiture proceeds that were announced last week. This expansion of the grant eligibility criteria follows Tuesday’s anti-bullying summit in Vancouver, where parents, educators, police, student safety experts and other attendees received an update on B.C.’s ERASE Bullying strategy, including the roll-out of a new website (www. erasebullying.ca), where people can report bullying anonymously. Applications are now open and more details are at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/crimeprevention/ grants/index.htm. rific foster care system for kids with mental health needs, and that’s something that we have to face,” Turpel-Lafond said. “The government has to face down the fact that they’ve mostly gutted therapeutic foster care over the last decade.” Other risk factors identified in the study are learning disabilities and lack of attachment to school, and in a third of cases a “significant romantic conflict” within 24 hours before killing or injuring themselves.

Ad nauseam

PICTURE THIS adrian raeside

ews flash: The new Port Mann bridge is open and by all reports is operating reasonably well, with two lanes in each direction open for traffic. What, you knew that already? Perhaps you should tell the provincial government. Although many will welcome full operation of the bridge (eight of 10 lanes will be open on Dec. 1), there are those in Victoria who believe Metro Vancouver drivers are still ignorant of this latest development and, thus, require constant reminding of its existence and its time-saving benefits. How else to explain the radio advertisements regaling motorists about the benefits of this, the largest undertaking in the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 Improvement project? Most people will have noticed by now that the long, laborious and often controversial construction project is nearing completion.They don’t need a series of advertisements — paid for with taxpayers’ dollars — to find out what is as nakedly obvious as the connection between these radio spots and the May 2013 provincial election. Still, there is a disingenuous optimism to these ads in that they hope that people will be convinced through constant repetition that the paying of tolls — no matter how odious, costly and painful to household budgets they are — will be ultimately worth it because, well, you guessed it, time will be saved. Households on both sides of the bridge, including in the Tri-Cities, will have to weigh the costs of tolls versus time-saving benefits and will decide to fork over the cash, detour to avoid them, move or change jobs. These are complex calculations that are unlikely to be affected by a series of simplistic advertisements no matter how well meaning. It’s also naive to expect these ads will change the minds of those who opposed the highway improvement project from the start. It’s highly unlikely these ads, no matter how craftily made, will encourage these folks to now suddenly champion it. Advertising can be helpful and informative but telling people what they already know is a waste of money.

Reality check on teen suicide & plight of B.C. kids BC VIEWS Tom Fletcher VICTORIA f you find Premier Christy Clark’s campaign against teen bullying to be superficial or even self-serving, I’ve got news for you: It’s potentially worse than that. With the greatest respect to the family of Amanda Todd, her tragic case isn’t representative of teen suicide any more than it is typical of high-school bullying. A clearer and more disturbing picture emerges from the latest report of B.C.’s representative for children and youth, Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond. The report is a survey of 89 child protection cases from 2007 to 2010, where 15 kids killed themselves and the rest inflicted serious self-injury, in some cases repeatedly. The word“bully”does not appear in the report, which speaks of domestic violence, physical and sexual abuse, addiction and runaways

targeted by street predators. Three quarters of the kids were removed from their homes to protect them from their parents. More than half are aboriginal. Its key conclusion is that shifting traumatized and mentally ill teens from institutional care to foster homes isn’t working. Earnest but inadequately trained foster parents and social workers can’t cope with kids who need diagnosis, treatment and supervision. Without that, kids shuffled through foster homes an average of a dozen times in three years, with little attachment to home or school. Some were violent, no surprise given their formative years. I asked Turpel-Lafond about the B.C. government’s recent focus on bullying. She said it’s worthwhile, and there are parallels between Amanda Todd’s case and more common teen suicides. One is isolation at moments of crisis. “Say you’re a middle-class parent with a child who hasn’t come out of their bedroom in six months, or you have a boy in foster care who’s in his 14th home,”she said.“They both

want to kill themselves, so what do you do?” Ideally, you intervene and get them to a child psychologist. Parents or guardians who can’t afford $150 an hour can wait months for the Ministry of Children and Family Development to arrange it. And in the meantime, our supposedly family-based foster care system sends them to school. “I’m really worried about how [school-based anti-bullying programs] will affect the most vulnerable kids because you start anonymously reporting someone as being a bully,” Turpel-Lafond said.“Yeah, we know they’re in the youth justice system. We know they’re troubled. By the way, they’ve been sexually and physically abused, jumped through 30 foster homes and now we want to label them again?” This is not to suggest that the existing B.C. effort isn’t substantial. The ministry reports that there are 2,221 front-line staff positions, of which 219 are currently vacant. It’s notoriously difficult to recruit, train and keep child protection workers, especially in remote communities.

Turpel-Lafond says her latest figures show the child and youth mental health service has 476 staff, with 21 vacancies and a governmentwide hiring freeze. And many of those are doing double duty as community service managers. Those managers don’t even have reliable data on caseloads, she said, they just know they’re overwhelmed and many of the kids aren’t being reached. This is not about political blame. I can trace this problem back to when Grace McCarthy was children’s minister, and the NDP did no better. I’ve learned a bit about Riverview and Tranquille, asylums that were closed because of a modern belief that they were inhumane. But at least they offered safety and medical care to even the most damaged people. Right now, our enlightened, progressive society can’t even help most of the kids we know are at high risk.

Vets treated shamefully The Editor, This year’s Remembrance Days observations coupled with a number of headlines related to Canada’s veterans and their treatment by the our federal government have prompted me to put my thoughts in some kind of order. My father was a Second World War veteran and, like so many of his fellows, he suffered from what was later recognized as posttraumatic stress disorder — suffered for his entire life. He was by turns a chain-smoking, raging drunk, violent, moody, sometimes happy and kind, but always a whisker away from a verbal or physical outburst. I was afraid of him, I despised him. I didn’t understand. My family, like the families of many of my friends and relatives, tried to live below the radar, to avoid these men as much as possible. We didn’t understand. Our veterans were sacrificed to meet the political ends of our so

Nothing new, I know, something that continues today. That damage echoes through our lives and our society like the sound of the big guns and bombs. For the most part, I’ve put away the emotions that informed my youth but this year an old anger has been stirred. My local paper ran an ad with the face of my Conservative MP superimposed on a field and featuring a poppy. In the national news, Prime Minister Stephen

Harper’s hooded smile, standing at attention. I want to vomit. The injuries, physical and spiritual, that our veterans have suffered are permanent. Their need for care will be lifelong, to one degree or another. So what thanks do we give to these people? Their value is weighed by bean counters, hollow men who want to be seen publicly giving thanks while quietly turning their backs on the broken people who fought for them. Cut back on their pensions,

reduce their care, take a lump sum. Fight our lawyers, if you must. This current government’s claim to have respect for and to care for our veterans is disgusting. I wish I could cast some of our politicians into the tumult that is the life of a Veteran and his or her family. I wish they could know that pain. It might make them a little more human. The government has to do right by these people, their lives are on us now. They are our responsibility and we’re all diminished by the actions of our leaders. We are discarding human beings, every one of them deserving, worthy and needing our compassion. We have to do right by these people because what we’re really talking about is just a pocketful of beans. A bloody pocketful of beans. This is Harper’s Canada, this is our communal shame.

Jason Kenney, the federal minister of citizenship, immigration and multiculturalism, stopped by Masjid Al-Hidaya mosque in Port Coquitlam on Nov. 10. He met with students at the Islamic weekend school, Muslim leaders and other community members, including local politicians. Kenney’s visit was planned to show solidarity with the mosque administration and the Muslim community after the board of the Islamic Society of BC stood against expressions of hatred, mockery and disrespect. The mosque was targeted with piles of bacon and ham thrown at it and scattered on the doorsteps in late September. The RCMP is investigating the incident as a hate crime by the RCMP. No arrests have been made.

Acupuncture treatment was done on her over five visits and now her symptoms are gone and she feels no more migraine headaches. • Mr. Daniel, an eighty one year old gentleman, who is living in Coquitlam was suffering from an enlarged prostate gland. This is a general phenomenon with older men. He suffers from frequent visits to the bathroom, mostly at night, sometimes up to ten times a night. After three visits to this clinic together with Chinese herbal medicine, he felt the symptom had gone and he doesn’t have the urgency to visit the bathroom as often. • P. Chew, 88 years old, was having Sciatica. He could walk, stand up and sleep alright, but couldn’t sit. If he did - the unbearable pain would almost paralyze him.

From PoCo to Malawi, with love Cdn. charity steps out but is leaving its good works in good hands By Sarah Payne The Tri-CiTy News

he Port Coquitlam link behind an African charity wants Tri-City donors to know their generosity is being put to good use. “I just wanted to let people know that you did a good thing, and it worked,” said Marilyn Summersgill. She’s the sister of Charmaine Paliwoda, who started the Benny’s Hope charity in a small village in Malawi in 2003 with her friend, Tambra Britner. From the first two shipping containers brimming with food and supplies — collected in PoCo and shipped to Malawi in 2004 — to the seventh, full of medical supplies and shipped in 2008, Benny’s Hope has built a school, dug water wells and provided homes. With Paliwoda and Britner on the ground i n N j ewa , M a l aw i , Summersgill helped from her PoCo home by searching for grant opportunities and soliciting donations. But in the spring of 2009, health troubles forced Paliwoda to leave Njewa for the last time and return to her home in Edmonton. Before she left, Paliwoda found an organization that would continue the work she and Britner had started. The Benny’s Hope charity was dismantled and the U.S.-based Children of the Nations (COTN) was selected to keep Big John’s School alive. Since then, it has added a high school as well as a community

Another member of the organization, Katherine Ducharme, travelled back to Njewa in 2011 to visit old friends and see how things were going. The eight refurbished wells are still providing clean drinking water for Njewa’s 8,000 residents; the school library, full of donated books, continues to be a popular gathering place; and of the 60 desks built in 2007, 57

are still in use. Big John’s School, however, had been somewhat neglected. Ducharme later discovered the village chief and many villagers were still hoping that Gogo (grandmother) Charmaine would be coming back and didn’t want another organization taking over what Benny’s Hope had started. Ducharme brought COTN and the chief together for a meeting and “they now understand that COTN will ensure

that the marginalized and orphaned children in the area will continue to be educated,” she wrote in an email. She noted that COTN’s education director arranged for Big John’s to open for the September 2012 school year with all certified teachers for the first time since its opening. The next project is developing a food program of five meals a week for the students, three with a high protein content and all five with a mix of

fruits and vegetables. Said Summersgill: “We just need money to get it off the ground.”

YOU CAN HELP

• Money can be donated through COTN’s Canadian branch so that income tax receipts can be issued and donations can be directed specifically to Big John’s School and for the food program. Email Katherine Ducharme at katherine_ ducharme@hotmail.com for details.

Hey neighbour: Learn about Iran, its people A GOOD READ Saied Forouzi

ecently, the Iran Vital Statistics Agency announced that 400,000 Iranians are living in Canada. A large percentage of these people have settled in the Lower Mainland. Some will likely be your neighbours. One way to learn more about your new Iranian neighbours is through your local library. We have collections of books and DVDs on Iran to help you become familiar with this fascinating culture. Iranians are proud of their history, encompassing more than 25 centuries. In Michael Axworthy’s History of Iran: Empire of the Mind, the author guides us through the complex succession of dynasties that ruled ancient Iran. He also describes modern Iran, which has an ethnically diverse population bound by a common culture. The 1979 revolution that ended the monarchy and established the republic is a distinct event in the consciousness of contemporary Iranians. In conversations with them, you will often hear them comparing their socio/economic situations before and after the revolution. Eminent Persians: The Men and Women Who Made Modern Iran by Abbas Milani is a kind of “Who’s Who”of 20th cen-

tury Iranians. Covering famous pre-revolution figures,“the book includes politicians, entrepreneurs, poets, artists, and thinkers who brought Iran into the modern era with brilliant success and sometimes terrible consequences.” The media is currently talking a lot about the nuclear plans of Iran and the controversial ideas of the current president. If you want to discover some of the background information on this topic, try reading The New Iranian Leadership: Ahmadinejad, Terrorism, Nuclear Ambition and the Middle East by Yonah Alexander. Many Iranians, especially in the younger generation, are on a quest for democracy and a more modern life.They face numerous challenges and barriers.The following two books are personal accounts of this struggle: The Tale of Two Nazanins is by Nazanin

Afsharjam, former Miss World Canada and wife of Canada’s defence minister. Then they Came for Me by Maziar Bahari is a riveting memoir of the author’s brutal interrogation in Iran’s most notorious prison. Iranian women are often in the forefront of the ongoing struggle to regain their rights.Two of the most famous of these women have written autobiographies. Iran Awakening: From Prison to Peace Prize by Shirin Ebadi describes her life and the winning of this prestigious award. In My Dream of Stars, Anousheh Ansari recounts her journey as the first female, private space explorer, a story that captured headlines. If you are a fiction fan and believe novels open a window to the genuine soul of a people, then the following books will probably interest you. The Colonel by Mahmoud Dowlatabadi is by one of the most acclaimed living authors of Iran.This powerful novel, banned in Iran, tells the heart-wrenching story of a disillusioned people forced to live under successive oppressive regimes. Censoring an Iranian Love Story by Shahriar Mandanipour is simply breathtaking. Written by one of Iran’s most controversial and acclaimed authors, it tells the very compelling stories of Iranians searching for love and creativity under the watchful

eyes of the often repressive and moralistic state. Another great source of information about Iran is its cinema: Taste of Cherry by Abbas Kiarostamiy was awarded the Palme d’Or at the 1997 Cannes film festival. It tells the story of a man who drives

around Tehran searching for assistance to commit suicide. Instead, he receives a variety of helpful viewpoints on life. A Separation by Asghar Farhadi won the 2012 Academy Award for best foreign language movie. A married couple are faced with the impos-

sible decision: to move to Canada for better health care for their child or to stay in Iran to look after a parent with Alzheimer’s disease. Now that you have some background, how about some delicious Iranian meals? Two great guides are Pomegranates and Roses

by Ariana Bundy and New Persian Cooking: A Fresh Approach to the Classic Cuisine of Iran by Jila Dana-Haeri. A Good Read is a column by Tri-City librarians that is published every Wednesday. Saied Forouzi works at Port Moody Public Library.

Scouting on display By Diane Strandberg The Tri-CiTy News

Port Moody Station Museum will be welcoming scouters young and old to a museum exhibit on the history of scouting in the region — but don’t worry, it won’t be all indoors. This weekend, the museum will be kicking off the exhibit with a demonstration of pioneering activities. Curator Jim Millar said the activities will likely show how basic materials, such as ropes and wood, can be used to build a camp and will be available for viewing rain or shine Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 24 and 25 from noon to 4 p.m. “It will appeal to anyone who is a Cub or a Scout or who was a Cub or Scout,”said Millar, who was a Scout leader and is now a member of the 40th Canadian BadenPowell Guild (Tri-Cities) of Scouts Canada. The guild is a group of mostly retired people and former scouters who help with Cub, Beaver and Scout camps, jamborees and other events. It is part-

nering with the Coho Area scouts to present Scouting: History in the Making this fall and winter at the PoMo museum. Millar said the exhibit will showcase the scouting movement from 1907 to the present day and will feature uniforms, badges and other memorabilia obtained from leaders and collectors. The exhibit will show how uniforms have changed over the years, and other modifications, although the basic tenets, such as the Be Prepared motto and a focus on the environment, have not changed. Anita Eriksen, who is also a member of the guild, said the exhibit will be fun for anyone who has history with the scouting movement. “People love to reminisce,” said Eriksen, whose own children took part in the scouting movement in both Girl Guides and Scouts, as did most of her 103 foster children. She believes strongly that the scouting movement is still important and enjoys teaching skills to young scouts and beavers as a guild volun-

Have fun and help out with variety of seasonal events Volunteering for a local charity can make the holiday season extra special. This year, Share Family and Community Services will be providing plenty of opportunities for people to give of their time to help others less fortunate. Last year, for example, Share registered 1,749 households for Christmas hampers and the social service agency expects to register even more families this season. For instance, volunteers are once again needed to help with the annual by-donation gift wrap and gift tree at Coquitlam Centre. The program opens Nov. 30 at the mall and more than 800 shifts

needed to be filled for this important event supporting the Share Toy Shoppe and other programs.Volunteers must be 16 years or older and those interest in helping should call Ruth at 604-529-5104. Other volunteer postings: • Office assistance: Greet donors, accept and record donations at the front counter, answer phones, photocopy and other office duties. • Christmas hamper packing: Put together food hampers (small, medium, and large) and must be able to lift heavy boxes. • Food sorting: Sort food donations into categories. Involves organizing food donations,

labelling and weighing food, lifting and carrying boxes, maintaining a clean work area and recycling boxes. • Truck drivers: Pick up food and toy donations, load and unload food boxes, ensure trucks are in good condition, and assist with stocking and inventory. • Toy Shoppe: Sort and process toy donations.This is a warehouse environment and does require some heavy lifting.Volunteers are also needed to assist families during Toy Shoppe visits. To volunteer with the food bank, call 604-9312451 or email jeremy. pearson@sharesociety. ca. For more information, visit www.sharesociety.ca.

Take an ornament & lend a hand Envision Financial’s Angel Tree program is returning to kick off the holiday season. All Envision locations, including its branch in Coquitlam, will display a decorated Christmas tree with angel ornaments, each representing a child, youth or senior in the local community. Members of the pub-

lic are encouraged to take an angel from the tree and return it with a new and unwrapped gift to any participating location by Dec. 8. All gifts and/or cash donations collected will be delivered to a local non-profit agency or Christmas bureau. In addition to selecting an angel off each tree, beginning this year,

people also have the option of selecting a tin can ornament and returning it with a nonperishable food item or cash donation. Envision has also created a video that can be viewed at youtube. com/envisionfinancial and, for every view, Envision will donate $1 to the Angel Tree program (up to $10,000).

text amendment for Parking requirements related to the transit-oriented development strategy (tds)

Additional information, copies of the bylaws, supporting staff reports, and any relevant background documentation may be inspected from November 14, 2012 to November 26, 2012 in person at the Planning and Development Department, Coquitlam City Hall, 3000 Guildford Way, Coquitlam during the hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. from Monday to Friday excluding statutory holidays.

The intent of bylaw No. 4352, 2012 is to amend City of Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 to implement changes to the parking requirements for apartment, townhouse and commercial uses within the Evergreen Line “Core and Shoulder” Station areas, as defined in the Transit Oriented Development Strategy (TDS) and identified on the maps below marked “Schedule A to Bylaw No. 4352, 2012.”* Highlights of the proposed amendments are as follows: • The required parking rates for two-bedroom dwelling units in apartment and townhouse uses within the Evergreen Line Core and Shoulder Station areas would be reduced from 1.50 spaces to 1.35 spaces per unit; • A new rate of one (1) stall per 45m2 of gross floor area is proposed for the C-7 Transit Village Commercial Zone, the same rate as the C-4 City Centre Commercial Zone; • “Transportation Demand Management” (TDM) would be defined and would mean measures aimed at reducing the demand for private vehicle use or an off-street parking space; • A provision to allow up to a 5% reduction in off-street parking requirements, if TDM measures are provided and approved by the General Manager Engineering and Public Works; • Require off-street parking spaces for commercial and residential visitor, mixed-use development sites to be shared, and not reserved for specific users, if TDM measures are provided; • Payment-in-lieu (PIL) of Parking Spaces for further parking reductions requested up to a maximum 15%. The Bylaw proposes a fee of $20,000 for each required off-street parking space not provided. If approved, the proposed amendment will accommodate the supply of parking relative to the trend of reduced vehicle ownership and lower parking utilization rates within transit station communities. *Please note that due to the size of the areas indicated on the maps marked “Schedule A to Bylaw No. 4352, 2012” some place names and fine detail may be difficult to read. A larger, higher resolution pdf copy of the maps is available form the “Public Notices” page on the City’s website at www.coquitlam.ca or upon request from the City Clerks Office.

Coquitlam Express extend losing skid Team has not had a victory since Nov. 4 match Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

Last month, the Coquitlam Express were tied for second place in the B.C. Hockey League

and were dominating the opposition on home ice. Four weeks later and the team is struggling to stay out of the Mainland Division basement and is 11 points behind the league-leading Chilliwack Chiefs. A pair of losses over the weekend has not helped the club’s posi-

tion in the standings and Coquitlam needs to start putting some more checkmarks in the win column if it hopes to get the season back on track. Chilliwack did not waste any time getting on the scoreboard when the Express visited Prospera Centre on Saturday night.

Chiefs forward Ryan Donohoe scored one minute into the first period after taking a pass from Trevor Hills. But Coquitlam was able to get the equalizer, when Philip Zielonka scored on the powerplay after Chiefs player Tanner Cochrane took two minutes for slashing.

Zielonka’s goal was the only time the Express were able to light the lamp. The Chiefs re-took the lead with two minutes left in the opening frame and proceeded to score three more unanswered goals to win 5-1. see ExPRESS, page 31

Cats earn split on the road Po r t M o o d y Black Panthers fans got the chance to celebrate a rare win for their Pacific Ju n i o r H o c key League team, which downed the Mission City Outlaws 4-3 last week. Port Moody dug a hole early, allowing Mission to score three unanswered goals in the opening period. But the Cats began to crawl back into the game, netting two markers in the middle frame, including one from Mark Ferguson and a power play goal from Martin Campbell. Port Moody’s Liam Pearce knotted the game at 3-3 four minutes into the final period before Ferguson broke the logjam with the game winner with eight minutes left. But the Cats were not able to sustain the momentum when the team took on the North Vancouver Wolf Pack at home on Sunday night. Despite jumping out to a one goal lead, Port Moody was not able to hold back the Wolf Pack, which scored five unanswered goals to win 5-1. The Panthers currently sit in last place in the Harold Brittain Conference with a 5-15-1 record. They will play the Ridge Meadows Flames this Saturday at 7:45 p.m. at the Port Moody Arena. sports@tricitynews.com

Don Denton/the tri-city newS

Ravens’ season comes to an end Terry Fox loses 45-20 to Mt. Douglas in semis Gary McKenna The Tri-CiTy News

In football, David can’t always defeat Goliath. That was the case on the Friday, when the Terry Fox Ravens went up against the top seeded Mt. Douglas Rams in a AAA high school foot-

ball quarterfinal playoff game. Things looked good for the Ravens early when Mate McLeodGenest was able to pick up the ball and carry it 13 yards on the first play of the game. But things quickly fell apart for the PoCo team, when the receiver fumbled away the ball on the next play, the first of three fumbles in the opening quarter.

Two more interceptions helped the Rams take a 24-0 lead at half time, digging a hole that the Ravens could not climb out of. Terry Fox continued to struggle in the second half and third interception at the Rams’ oneyard line was a backbreaker for the club, according to assistant coach Jorge Knizek. The Ravens finally punched in a touchdown

in the third quarter, when quarterback Trevor Casey threw a 51-yard scoring pass to Brad Lyons. However, Mt. Douglas was quick to respond, returning the ensuing kickoff 90 yards to extend their lead to 38-6. Fox managed a bit more offense in the fourth quarter. McLeod-Genest connected with Lyons on a 42-yard pitch pass that

led to a touchdown. McLeod-Genest also found the end zone when Casey hooked up with him for a 35 yard scoring pass. But the late-game flurry of offense was not enough to spark the team and steal the win. The final score was 4520. Terry Fox football fans will now put their hopes into the school’s junior varsity club, which plays

the Mt. Douglas Rams at the Burnaby Athletic Complex on Thursday. The undefeated juniors have had a strong season and are looking to surpass last year’s semifinal playoff exit and make it to the championship game. The team capped off its 10-0 season with a first round 40-0 playoff win over Lord Tweedsmuir last week. sports@tricitynews.com

Express run into penalty trouble against Vernon continued from page 30

Cole Huggins stopped 36 of 31 shots he faced, but was pulled in favour of backup netminder Dani Urbani, who played 16 minutes and stopped all six shots the Chiefs threw at him. Donohoe was named first star of the game after scoring two goals and notching an assist. The Express’ struggles continued on S u n d ay w h e n t h e Vernon Vipers visited the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. Both team’s exchanged powerplay goals early in the first period and the game was knotted at two goals each by the end of the opening period. But the game would

not stay close for very long. The Vipers took advantage of Coquitlam’s penalty troubles at the beginning of the second period HUGGINS and scored three power play goals — two from Pearce Eviston assisted by Adam Tambellini — and a third scored by Tambellini on a pass from Brett Corkey. Tambellini, who was named first star of the game, added another tally in the third and Eviston made it a hat trick when he scored an empty-netter with 27 seconds left in the game to win the match 7-5. Coquitlam again split

its goaltended duties between Urbani, who stopped 19 of 21, and Huggins, who stopped 18 of 22. Th e Vi p e r s were four for seven on the power play. Coquitlam will take on West

Kelowna on Friday (7p.m)at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Centre. The team will then travel to the Interior to play Kelowna on Saturday to complete the home-and-home. For more information go to www.coquitlamexpress.ca. sports@tricitynews.com

The Coquitlam Vikings are heading to the B.C. football semifinals next week after defeating the Coquitlam Raiders 16-3 in the Vancouver Mainland Football League championship game at Percy Perry Stadium on Friday.

Vikings pillage Raiders in VMFL football finals The Coquitlam Vikings have been crowned Vancouver Mainland Football League bantam playoff champions after a 16-3 win over Tri-City rivals the Coquitlam Raiders on the weekend. The Raiders jumped out to a 3-0 lead on a short Jeremy Kankolongo field goal but Viking Xavion Fleary was able to run back the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown to make

it 8-3 at the half. Most of the play in the early part of the game was in the Raiders end, as the Vikings kept the club’s defence pinned up against their own end zone. A Nic Greene interception in the third quarter helped the Vikings get the ball back but the club was not able to punch in another touchdown. That changed in the fourth, when running

back Brenden Dieno was able to get his hands on the ball to make it 16-3 for the Vikings. The loss means the Raiders season has come to an end. Meanwhile, the Vikings will begin gearing up for the B.C. semi-finals, where they will take on the Valley Community Football League champs the Abbotsford Falcons at Percy Perry Stadium next week.

Four goals for Cats’ Curtis Tyler Curtis scored four goals for the Port Moody Panthers as the team downed the North Shore Winter Club 8-2 in the gold medal game of the Vancouver Thunderbirds Remembrance Day atom hockey tournament last week. Curtis finished the tournament with 10 goals, while teammates Isaac Phillips also taller two goals in the final game. David Andrecan and Christopher Massullo each chipped in singles while goaltender Callum Tung stopped 24 shots. On their way to the championship game, the Cats downed Vancouver

4-2 and the North Shore 5-3.

GIFT GUIDE

The perfect gift for new moms N

ew mothers don’t always remember to take time for themselves. Now there’s a great idea: the gift of time! It might come in the form of a relaxing appointment for a facial, a box full of beauty products, a makeover at a trendy hair salon, or maybe even a luxurious day at a spa. These are all the ways to encourage a new mother to think about herself a bit, especially at Christmas time.

Fresh Ideas

for Holiday Decorating

Freshly cooked or frozen meals are another wonderful idea for busy new moms, giving them precious moments with their newborn without having to worry about cooking. Or why not offer to look after the baby while she runs some errands or has a nap. Offer her a gift certificate for a romantic dinner for two at a trendy restaurant or a house cleaning service for a month, six months, or even a year. She’ll feel as if she’s staying in a hotel in the comfort of her own home! Tickets for a show, the complete DVD series of her favourite TV show, a relaxing week-end at a country inn, a book about motherhood, an original piece of jewellery, a phototherapy lamp, a personalized calendar: the list of relaxing and fun gifts for a new mom is endless. If you prefer to give her a little something that will ease her daily life with baby, offer a trendy and colourful baby carrier, a bottle or food warmer, or a designer diaper bag. If you would like to give a little something that will always remind her of these first months with her bundle of joy, be original and think about a baby’s foot- or hand print kit, a baby album, an embroidered towel, or plant a tree that she can watch grow with her child.

The gift of time — now there’s a great idea!

GIFT GUIDE

Is your purse causing your headache?

FREE

When you carry a bag hiked on one shoulder, the spine ends up curving to that side or if the load is excessive your head will push forward to counterbalance leading to neck strain, headaches and shoulder tension. So this season as you head to the mall, here are some tips to spare your back. Lighten the load- empty your purse of as much unnecessary stuff as possible. Do you really need to carry with you that book you can’t put down, two water bottles and your extra pair of comfy shoes? This may also mean leaving technology at home as well. Sometimes smaller may be better, the smaller the bag, the less you can stuff into it.

✃

o you ever return from Christmas shopping with more than sore feet? Do your back and shoulders ache too? Or do you come home with a headache? Chances are your purse might be too heavy. According to the BC Chiropractic Association we should be carrying no more than 10-15% of our body weight. If your purse is 5lbs when empty then you might have a problem and the more stuff you put in your purse the bigger the stress on your spine.

Buy one box of Dilly® Bars or DQ® Sandwiches and get a second box FREE!

It is possible to wear a purse that is chic and functional and take care of your spine at the same time once you are aware of how to wear it. Even better to leave the kitchen sink at home ladies. Dr. Nareeta Stephenson is a Port Coquitlam based chiropractor who specializes in keeping the spine aligned.

GIFT GUIDE

Gift ideas for teenagers F

Give the gift of gourmet this Holiday Season!

inding Christmas gifts for teenagers is child’s play. Unconvinced? Then take a look at the few suggestions below. They are sure to please the young people you know without breaking your Christmas budget.

Our baskets are filled with delectable gourmet items and beautifully packaged for a fantastic gift presentation.

Personalized stuff is always popular with young people. Look for items displaying their first name or bearing the image or logo of something they’re interested in. You can find such images on soap, cellphone cases, bracelets, mouse pads, school and locker accessories, and backpacks. Other gifts that always appeal to teenagers include:

Pleasing a teenager isn’t as hard as it might seem.

2500 St. John’s St., Port Moody 604-939-6200 www.edenwest.ca

Is your teenage son or daughter a hockey or soccer fan? Do they go crazy over one particular band (that’s right, the one that’s making you go deaf!) that just happens to be giving a show in your area? Then why not offer your teenager a couple of tickets for a favourite event. It can be a fun opportunity for you to spend some time with your nearly-grown up child, or you might decide to offer your teen both tickets so he or she can invite a friend along instead.

10 Vivio Flower Money $

If you’re still hesitating or are unsure about the perfect gift, you can always fall back on a gift certificate. However uninspired it may seem, it’s still a winning formula that enables the recipient to buy a little something that is sure to please.

FREE Deluxe Wreath

Spoil your handyman P

leasing everyone at gift-giving time means thinking outside the box, but when choosing a gift for your handyman, tools and other odd-job accessories are always a good standby. Stores are full of practical and fun gadgets that will make tinkering in the garage even more relaxing for him.

On-Line Gift Cards Available!

A well-equipped workshop or garage starts with a selection of accessories. A toolbox on wheels or a tool belt, which allow for better organization and mobility, are great ideas for those who don’t already own them. Protective glasses, which are now available in trendier styles, a head-mounted magnifier, or glasses with an integrated light are also gifts that will be appreciated.

Open Monday Saturday

On a more practical note, think of giving a specialized soap for cleaning oil or paint or even a healing lotion for the hands. And if your handyman is a bit accident-prone, why not give him a first-aid kit to put somewhere within easy reach.

B5 - 1410 Parkway Blvd. Coquitlam

www.opalspa.ca

By shopping around a bit you’ll be able to find plenty of unusual, decorative, or amusing products. Big box stores stock some magnificent clocks and thermometers made with saw blades or nuts and bolts, while others are decorated with the handyman’s favourite beer or tractor logos. If you go to a specialized boutique, you might discover novelties such as wallets that look as if they’ve been made from sandpaper or masking tape. The idea is to find items that most people would never think to buy for themselves. You could also offer the gift of information and inspiration. A subscription to a renovating or woodworking magazine is a great idea, or perhaps a more in-depth book filled with illustrations of different projects. If you’d like your gift to be more elaborate, a gift certificate for classes or a workshop on a specialized technique is sure to be a resounding success.

Hope for the Holidays

The fast approaching Holiday Season is an exciting and wonderful time of the year for many of us. For some of us however, it can be a difficult and painful time. Some of us feel isolated, sad and overwhelmed with the pressure to be joyous, particularly following the loss of someone whom we loved. Once again, Crossroads Hospice Society, Riverside Community Church and First Memorial Funeral Services Burkeview Chapel are very proud to host a community “Hope for the Holidays” event. We are coming together to provide a supportive, understanding and caring environment for the people in our communities who are having a difficult time embracing the season. We have some fantastic jazz musicians (Jillian Lebeck and Adam Robert Thomas), some encouraging stories and reflections of hope and faith. There will be an ornament for everyone to place on the Christmas tree in memory of your loved one and then you can take it home at the end of the evening. Fellowship and refreshments to follow. This is a non denominational event and all persons are welcome! Come join us on Tuesday, December 4th at 7:00 p.m. Riverside Community Church, 1477 Lougheed Hwy, Port Coquitlam (From Lougheed Hwy turn North on Ottawa St., turn left at Dominion Ave. and go west to the end of the block, bearing right into the back entrance to the church)

Make a lasting impression this holiday season… With a new look and great gift giving ideas! Enjoy our Specialty Gift Baskets, Gift Cards, Hair and Skin Care Products, Great Stocking Stuffers and Christmas Hospitality. At Christmas and always…

il Destino awaits you!

This is a completely free event, the church is wheelchair and transit accessible. For further details, you can visit www.riversidecommunitychurch.ca or www.crossroadshospice.bc.ca or call First Memorial ~ Burkeview Chapel 604-944-4128

olidays are a time for families and friends to gather together and enjoy annual festive traditions like decorating their homes, cooking a delicious meal, and unwrapping gifts. However, for seniors without loved ones and poor financial support, the holiday season can be a very lonely time. Close to seven per cent of seniors 65 and older live under the Low Income Cut-Offs (LICO). The figure is considerably higher for unattached seniors, and in particular women. With so many older adults living alone and in poverty, some Port Coquitlam and area seniors will be struggling to make ends meet this holiday season. That’s why Port Coquitlam’s local Home Instead Senior Care office has partnered with retailers and community organizations to ensure isolated seniors receive gifts and companionship through the Be a Santa to a Senior program. Beginning on November 15th, local community residents can participate in the Be a Santa to a Senior program by picking up an ornament from Christmas trees set up across the Tri-Cities, Maple Ridge, and New Westminster. The ornament will include the first name of a senior and their requested gift. Local residents are encouraged to take an ornament, buy the items listed and return them unwrapped to the same location. These gifts will be collected, wrapped and delivered by dedicated volunteers in the week prior to Christmas. For more information on the Be a Santa to a Senior program please visit www.beasantatoasenior.com or visit Save-On-Foods on Ottawa Street, Port Coquitlam.

GIFT GUIDE

Be a dear,

volunteer!

There is such a thing as the perfect gift

for more information or to Volunteer contact: orn@shaw.ca | OperationRedNose.com

ome people always seem to find the perfect gift while others never, ever do. How do those lucky few do it? Here are some of their tricks to finding all the right gifts without going completely nuts.

When the party ends,

First of all, start searching the stores well before the holidays. You don’t need to start buying, necessarily, but you will get inspired and know where to go when you’re ready to take out your wallet. Keep your ears open around your loved ones and listen to what they’re saying about their wish list, their practical needs, and their dreams. A spouse who grumbles that they don’t get out enough would enjoy a gift certificate for the neighbourhood movie theatre, while a loved one complaining about their poorly equipped kitchen would be a prime recipient of useful kitchen utensils and gadgets.

Operation Red Nose gets you home, and in your own car!

Operation Red Nose is a volunteer driving service provided during the Christmas Holiday Season to all drivers who have been drinking or who do not feel fit to drive their own vehicle back home. It’s a unique way of getting you and and your vehicle, home safely.

When visiting friends and family, look around the home to see what’s missing or what needs replacing. When shopping with them, pay attention to where their gaze wanders. You can create such opportunities by inviting them out for a coffee and then suggesting some window shopping. It’s a great way to collect gift ideas without them even knowing!

Your last call befORe yOu hit the ROad! 778 866-6673 (NOSe)

With children, their desires are so much easier to pick up on. All you have to do is sit down with them while they write a letter to Santa or ask them to circle everything that catches their eye in a catalogue. The very last trick is to be vigilant all year long: find a great hiding spot and tuck away suitable gifts that you stumble across by chance during the year. When there’s no What would your loved ones like for Christmas? Play Christmas-time pressure your thinking will be clear- detective! er and the extra money spent likely won’t be missed. You’ll also earn yourself some time away from the frenzy of Christmas shopping and get some real bargains. It’s of another The gift time —smart now way to shop and hit the bull’s eye at the same time. there’s a great idea!
