Five lots have been consolidated at the corner of 240th Street and 102nd Avenue to accommodate the development. The final reading for this project is expected to come to Maple Ridge council meeting next Tuesday, if it was forwarded from Monday's committee meeting after The TIMES presstime. Third reading was given to the project in December 2009, and extensions were granted in both 2010 and 2011. There will be 11 retail units ranging from 660 square feet to 1,360 square feet at ground level facing both streets. Sixteen rental units will be above the retail shops, either one- or two-bedroom units. The proposed development includes upgrades to the area, for example, sidewalks, a curb and gutter, street trees, and improved street lighting. The corner retail site has been planned so that it could accommodate a cafe with an outdoor seating area. Maria Rantanen/TIMES Pitt Meadows City staff and elected officials came to the Friends In Need Food Bank on Monday to help sort food. They were joined by TIMES staff who also helped in the sorting process. Both had collected food for the food bank. Food bank Friends receive help from City, TIMES Pitt Meadows sets out a challenge for food collection. by Maria Rantanen firstname.lastname@example.com Pitt Meadows City employees donated staff time and were joined by elected officials to sort through food donations at the Friends In Need Food Bank on Monday. And City staff were joined by TIMES publisher Spence Levan – who is no stranger to volunteering in the community – and TIMES sales manager Livia Mior to help sort through recent donations, and getting a first-hand glimpse into the charity's operations. The Friends In Need Food Bank gives out close to one million pounds of food per year, said Chuck Griffith, operations manager at the 227th Street facility. "Whatever we get at Christmas will last us till June," Griffith said. This was the first time Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters had visited the food bank and she said she was amazed by the operation. "It's very impressive to see how organized it is," she said. "It's impressive how many people they help." But the mayor was concerned to learn that food runs out in July and donations dry up during the summer holiday season, adding she'd like to highlight that food is collected at Pitt Meadows Day for the Friends In Need Food Bank. Food will also be collected at A Pitt Meadows Christmas this Friday evening at Spirit Square, and Walters hopes all Pitt Meadows residents pitch in. "If everyone brought one can, imagine how much we'd get," Walters said. In Pitt Meadows, Friends In Need Food Bank serves 251 households, which includes 151 children. There was a last-minute friendly competition between the City of Pitt Meadows and The TIMES, to see which organization could bring in the most food. It resulted in The TIMES being "clobbered," Griffith said. Between the two organizations, 600 pounds was collected. After they finished sorting food, Levan shook hands with City of Pitt Meadows CAO Jake Rudolph and Walters, agreeding to the same challenge next year. "Now we have 365 days notice instead of four," Levan said. But, he added, the real winner is the food bank recipients, not the City or The TIMES.

The bad weather prompted More a smaller turnout than usual Photos at the annual Christmas in the Park, Santa Claus Parade, and Online BIA Christmas Market, but that didn't stop hundreds of people from having a good time. And, the parade didn't get abandoned by the bad weather either as hundreds of children lined the streets to catch a glimpse of the big guy – Santa Claus. Also, spirits weren't dampened by the windy and cold temperatures even though fewer vendors showed up at the Christmas Market. "I think because we are under cover everyone who is in the park will come in here where it's dry and we have music, warm apple cider, and happy vendors," said Ineke Beokhorst, executive director for Downtown Maple Ridge Business Improvement Association, who added there were only 13 vendors who participated this year. "The weather – it was raining all day. Everything was blowing. We had vendors that were at the farmers' market earlier today and their tents were blowing away," Beokhorst explained. "The BIA Christmas Market is a really fun event," said long-time resident and BIA core-area patrol person Lynne Bradley. "We love it when people come and visit us and support local businesses," Bradley added. www.mrtimes.com Red Nose numbers by Sylver McLaren Sylver McLaren/TIMES Golden Ears Elementary student Brady Small, (above) seven, peeked through one of the crafts he was working on in the arts and crafts tent at Christmas in the Park on Saturday.

"I think that's part of the reason it has become so beloved in the communities." Children under four years old are not required to bring a new unwrapped toy for their free ride, but those above age four wanting a free ride do. As Siddon notes, riders can be quite generous.

For the 11th year, the volunteers of the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Christmas Hamper Society will be hosting their Kids Only Gift Shoppe for the children of registered families. In 2011, more than 500 children visited the gift shop and chose presents for their parents, which were wrapped and sent home with the child. "It's kind of magical," said volunteer Joan Granholm of the kids shopping event. "It kind of gives you the Christmas spirit all over." Volunteers have been collecting donations for the Kids Only Shoppe, but currently there are about 20 boxes of gifts for moms, but only three boxes of gifts for dads. Suggestions for gifts for dads include small handtools, shaving kits, hats, scarves, gloves, and lots of socks, Canucks items, coffee cups and mugs, T-shirts with logos, barbecue items, joke books and trivia books, license Maria Rantanen/TIMES Joan Granholm and Kim Spence were looking through some of the items children can choose for their parents at the Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows Christmas Hamper Society. plate holders, and anything automotive, especially small items likes ice scrapers. Children often choose a few small items, not the large expensive ones, Granholm said. "For children, quantity is quality." The Christmas hamper society is asking the community to dig through their closets and sheds and garages and look for new items that just aren't going to be used and bring them to the hamper office at the Albion Fairgrounds to be "regifted" for the Kids Only Shoppe, which Granholm calls the "quintessential regifting" place. "This is where old gifts go to die," she said. Socks are always appreciated, and the Christmas hamper volunteers get creative with them – often packing chocolates inside a cup and the cup inside a sock. "We go through a lot of socks between the men and the teen boys," Granholm said. Kim Spence spends a lot of time volunteering with the Kids Only Shoppe, and on the day of the big shop she helps things run smoothly. As the children go around choosing gifts, volunteers walk around helping them choose. Then in the wrapping area, wrappers package the gifts and the children can choose a card. Spence got goosebumps when she recalled a boy who desperately wanted to give his dad a disco ball that was at the Kids Only Shoppe, and, four years later, it still hangs in his dad's truck. The Kids Only Gift Shoppe will be open Dec. 15, a week later than most years to give the opportunity, to as many families as possible. "There are so many people who register late so we don't want anyone to miss out," said Lorraine Bates, co-chair of the Christmas hamper society. Santa Claus is also at the fairgrounds on the Kids Only Shoppe day, and each child will receive a gift and a free photo with Santa. Donations can be dropped off at the Christmas hamper office located at the Albion fairgrounds. The hamper office is open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Gift bags in all sizes, tissue paper, and gift tags are also appreciated.

Tuesday, December 4, 2012 Our View Action needed to stop horror The world won't stand still on Thursday, Dec. 6. But a few people will. They'll take a moment to remember the senseless deaths of 14 women who were murdered exactly 13 years ago at Montreal's Ecole Polytechnique. It started out as an ordinary day of classes for Genevieve Bergeron, Nathalie Croteau, Anne-Marie Edward, Maryse Laganiere, Anne-Marie Lemay, Michele Richard, Annie Turcotte, Helene Colgan, Barbara Daigneault, Maud Haviernick, Maryse Leclair, Sonia Pelletier, Annie St-Arneault, and Barbara Klusznik Widajewicz… until a man with a gun walked into the room, ordered them and the other women in their class separated from the men, and opened fire on all the women. In a sense, it remained an ordinary day, despite the horrific violence perpetrated on those women that day. Because horrific violence is perpetrated against women every day… every ordinary day. The Montreal Massacre has become a focal point for those who will stand still at candlelight vigils throughout the Lower Mainland and elsewhere. The night will be filled with people holding candles and pondering their own memories of horrific violence – against themselves or against someone they love… or against someone they once knew. Violence against women continues to be a part of our social fabric. It continues to be a horrific problem, despite the dramatic events of Dec. 6, 1989, and despite all those who will stand still with their candles in recognition of the awfulness of that day. The problem continues, because too many people stand far too still all the rest of the year. Dec. 6 has become known as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. There's been lots of remembrance… it's high time there was some action. – B.G. email@example.com Publisher firstname.lastname@example.com Editor Spencer Levan Bob Groeneveld email@example.com Assistant Editor Roxanne Hooper firstname.lastname@example.com Sales Manager Maria Rantanen Sylver McLaren Troy Landreville Ralph De Adder Nick Hiam Advertising Editorial Livia Mior Opinion Kids can reignite magic of season Looking In Anne Gordon Sheryl Jones Distribution Supervisor Wendy Bradley Administration Rebecca Nickerson Contact us www.mrtimes.com email@example.com Email us Visit our Website #2 - 22345 North Avenue Maple Ridge, B.C., V2X 8T2 Switchboard Classified Delivery Fax 604-463-2281 604-463-7283 604-463-2281 604-463-9943 Write us a letter This Week's Question December is here.

Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Times Mailbag Tuesday, December 4, 2012 A9 Opinions How interesting to read a letter suggesting, "Pornography laws misused [Nov. 29 Letters, TIMES]." Apparently, the thought is that one can film an under-aged person having sex and distribute the video – but yet, that isn't really filming or distributing kiddie porn because it was consensual. Am I incorrect in the notion that adult film-makers are not forced to film or distribute what correctly is labeled porn, the creation of which is a consensual act? Is it the setting that makes the crucial difference – sex inside is okay, but outside it's porn? I don't even get the thought process: "Hey, there's a couple having sex. I'll film it then send it to friends..." Yeah, let's make the voyeur the victim. Dear Editor, Moral perceptions skewed What an utterly flawed attempt at reasoning. It ranks right up there with a person who wrote in earlier in the week chastizing a newspaper for describing someone who had died as being "dead at age… whatever" [Death notice not appreciated, Nov. 27 Letters, TIMES]. Granted, when my mom died and I was grieving, the last thing I needed was a reminder, but that didn't make my mother any less dead – it certainly isn't something I could argue or debate. (I love you mom :) Besides which, news media aren't supposed to be all warm touchy-feely – they are supposed to be neutral and unbiased; it's a double-edged sword. Is it my perception that requires fine tuning? I don't think so. PHEW! The taxi of mom & dad YOU SURVIVED THE FALL Robert Adams, Maple Ridge Maple Ridge Lots of good service not necessary Dear Editor, As a citizen of Maple Ridge for 50 years and a residential taxpayer for 27 years, I want to send a clear message to all your readers who pay their fair share of taxes in our community. We are getting excellent services for stuff we don't need. Bollards are the goofy things that grow around intersections: they are black and stick out of the ground about four feet. We never needed them in CEED centre Dear Editor, Meetings revive traditions One of the glories of Western Civilization was the tradition of the public meetings in the Agora of Athens, where people like Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and many others met to exchange ideas with any persons, including slaves. An echo of that tradition exists in the regular open meetings held at our local CEED centre. The attendees range through PhDs, retired teachers, students, housewives, the homeless, candidates for municipal, provincial, and federal office, rightists and leftists… all are welcome. Topics discussed have ranged from The Tea Party Manifesto to home remedies. The accepted code means that every opinion will be respected. But the discussions have had a host of practical outcomes. A brief list will include E.S.L. classes, art and choral activities, free access to computers, organic and community gardening initiatives, providing facilities to a church group to serve meals, support for a food co-op, the food-bank, environmental issues, GETI, and Girl Guides. Naturally, visitors and volunteers are always welcome. Any undesirable activities in the open area next to the site are entirely beyond CEED's wishes and control. Charles Ellman, Maple Ride the '60s when cars averaged two tons, why do we need them now at a thousand dollars apiece? Traffic signs are growing faster than knotweed, and they are popping up almost everywhere at a thousand dollars apiece. New trees are planted under existing power lines. It's a no-no, yet we still do it, so we can pay the district to cut them – as it is in their budget (i.e. taxpayer dollars). Planting shrubs in the middle of roads… WHY? The new and improved Abernethy Way has four new stop lights from 232nd to 224th Streets – are you kidding me? What was wrong with the original 4-way stop? And how much did that cost the taxpayer? Now let's get on to the bike lane gong show. Since those goofy lines and bicycle pictures have been painted and repainted and repainted, I have yet to see one avid cyclist use this utter nonsense.

A10 Tuesday, December 4, 2012 Opinion Dam Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Times Strip-a-thon Poverty perpetuated It's high time we build a fish ladder Dear Editor, I love that my community is committed to helping the less fortunate at Christmas time. That is what this season is all about. However, I am saddened by the promotion of the Stripa-thon. Yes, thousands of dollars are raised for Christmas hampers, which on the surface seems like an obvious win for everyone. It comes with a far greater cost to society, though, both moral and financial. No matter how noble the intentions behind the event, the objectifying of women and the casual attitude towards sex are the beginning of poverty in our society, not the solution for it. "It doesn't matter where the money comes from. With the passing of money from one to the other, it comes from the heart," said Christmas hamper society co-chair Lorraine Bates [Strip-a-thon will draw a crowd, Nov 27, TIMES]. I can see the good that is done with these funds, but I would argue that, in this situation, the giving is compelled not by a heart for those in need, but by lust, which is a destructive force against families and society. Those who sincerely want to give from the heart will find countless ways to combat poverty without contributing to it. Your article brags about guys bringing their buddies, and invites critics to come in and have a good time. I don't doubt that it's a lot of fun, and the cause is wholesome, but ultimately, there is no advantage to society when men are drawn into strip clubs. These men may actually put their families at increased risk for poverty. You don't have to look far to see the negative effects of casual sex/sexual addiction on our society. I trust that we will, as a community, be generous this Christmas to the less fortunate among us. Let us choose from the many opportunities for giving which promote dignity and integrity for all.

When the dam was completed in 1925, hundreds of thousands of fish rubbed their noses on the dam trying to return home to spawn. For the next four years, the river was thick with returning rotting salmon. More than one species was wiped out. In the 1970s, it was discovered that the water licence – now owned by BC Electric – contained a clause that promised to release enough water through the dam to keep the river alive. They had not done so. A battle ensued that had many heroes. Tom Cadieux, who ran the hatchery at the prison, was one of the more vocal.

That's my cookie. Two-year-old Ella May Richter wasn't too keen to share her free cookie with her father Brody, at the Osprey Village Christmas festivities Sunday. Pitt Meadows Osprey Village's annual tree lighting attracted a few hundred on Sunday. by Roxanne Hooper firstname.lastname@example.com Creating a holiday destination Rain stopped and all the umbrellas came down just minutes into Sunday night's Christmas festivities at Osprey Village in Pitt Meadows. The fifth annual tree lighting event, which has grown through the years into more of an overall community festival and a seasonal tradition for many locals, attracted about 250 people despite inclement weather, said Anahi English. "On average, we have this number for our events, so it was wonderful to see the same amount on a rainy night. It shows how much our community loves to come down and participate in what are now cherished seasonal traditions," said English, a business owner in the South Bonson retail village, a member of the Pitt Meadows Community Association, and an event organizer. There were a lot of firsts at this year's event, including the addition of a Christmas market featuring local companies, the creation of an indoor Santa's workshop, and the addition of extra lights throughout the village. "This year was a little different in that we decided to light up the village. We lit up almost all the trees in the village, created candy cane light posts, and put in a tree that we will be able to build on every year... so it will keep growing and growing!" she explained. The plan is to add more lights to the village each year, ultimately making it into a "must see" destination during the holiday season. In the meantime, English said, the existing lights are "beautiful" and encouraged people to drop by for a look. Christmas-themed cutouts are being left up around Osprey Village this month, so people can have their pictures taken.

Or can I cut off a foot-long piece and stick it in the ground. I need a little advice on the best choice." Myra, Chilliwack oving a grapevine involves some heavy digging and much pruning of vines and roots. The roots aren't usually deeper than 30 centimetres (one foot) but they spread four or five feet around. If you're a muscular gardener who is okay with strenuous work, or if you have help from someone who can dig a big hole and drag a wide rootball around, then you could certainly get the whole vine moved. So the choice really depends how strong you are or if you have help. Grapevines are so vigorous that cuttings or transplanting should result in a live grape vine. Cuttings are easier, but transplanting the big vine would give you more grapes sooner. Late fall planting gives the roots more time to settle in. But I'm inclined to opt for early spring for moving grapevines or starting grape cuttings, because winter sometimes strikes early and hard. Occasionally, we have severe cold with outflow winds and no precipitation. This is hard on newly planted grapes and may kill cuttings. Starting cuttings is nonstrenuous and takes very little time. All you need is a stem with three buds: when you insert it into the ground, two buds should be covered by soil, with one above it. Rooting hormone is optional. It is always safer with cuttings to take two or three, in case of accidents, and leave the mother plant in place until you have at least one cutting producing new growth.

But now I'd prefer to wait till spring when we can afford to have someone properly plan a garden for us. I'd love to know if I had better get digging now or if I could take steps to protect them now and plant them later." ou can do it all, Jamie. You can get digging to protect them now, keeping them in the pots so that you have them ready for planting later. The best way to overwinter them in pots is to dig holes deep enough in the soil so that you can plunge potsand-plants into the earth. The level of soil in the pots should be level with the top of the garden soil. Mulching them would give extra security. An alternative method for people with greenhouses that can be heated above freezing is to put the trees and shrubs in there. They will be able to survive the winter in the original pots, just as you bought them. They would need occasional watering. In the days when most shrubs and trees were sold bare-root in fall, gardeners would often "heel" them in – that is, plant them quickly and casually with no extras. Their aim was just to get the roots covered till they could relocate them in spring. Containerized plants in the soil have a better situation because there's less root disturbance later.

Every culture has its quirks – remember My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding? Anyone whose parents were immigrants could relate to that movie. The Finns are no different, and luckily, my parents were young enough when they moved to Canada to shed some of the worst tradMy mother, Helena, itions – like with me at SFU in liver casserole 1965. with raisins and lye fish, and an Easter treat called mammi that I can't try to describe in a family newspaper. They also switched from ham to turkey at Christmas pretty quickly in the "new country." But we did get some Finnish dishes at Christmas – lots of pulla (sweet bread), joulutorttuja (pastries with prune filling), and lots of casseroles, carrot casserole, turnip casserole, and potato casserole – we skipped the liver casserole. So here's a recipe for carrot casserole that would typically be served at a traditional Finnish Christmas Eve meal, taken from The Finnish Cookbook. Carrots transform into Finnish casserole RECIPE Maria Rantanen and mother Helena. Carrot casserole Ingredients: 1 cup cooked rice 2 cups milk 5 medium carrots, shredded 1 tsp. salt nutmeg, a pinch 1 tbsp. dark brown sugar 2 eggs 3 tbsp. butter ½ cup fine bread crumbs One Finnish Christmas tradition I really like is the declaration of Christmas Peace. At noon on Dec. 24, a city official of the historic capital, Turku, reads a statement declaring peace throughout all of Scandinavia. This is a legal declaration, and stores are closed fairly soon after – although they've been stretching in the past few years – and don't reopen till Boxing Day, and then only for four hours. Anyone caught acting in a disorderly way during Christmas used to receive severe penalties. I say we declare Christmas Peace in Maple Ridge, and that it is enforceable with strict penalties throughout the Lower Mainland – until Boxing Day shopping starts. – Maria Rantanen TIMES reporter Finnish tradition Publisher's pudding a favourite TIMES publisher Spencer Levan shares his bread pudding recipe. Old baked bread pudding Ingredients: 1 lb. bread scraps (day old, not dry) ¼ lb. sugar, ¼ lb. currants or sultanas 1 oz. finely chopped suet or lard 1 egg tsp. of nutmeg tsp. of cinnamon pinch of salt Combine the rice, milk, carrots, salt, sugar, and eggs. Pour into a well-buttered 1½-quart casserole. Melt the butter in a separate pan and stir the crumbs into it. Sprinkle them on top of the casserole. Bake in moderately hot oven (375ºF) about 40 minutes or until the top is lightly browned. Serves six. My mother, Helena, with me (the baby) and my sister Heidi at SFU in 1965. • Watch for more recipes in Thursday's paper Cut the bread into small pieces and put into a bowl with enough cold water to cover.

On Christmas Eve, singing began around 7 p.m., recalled the MLA for Maple Ridge-Mission. "The youngest of the six children chose the first French or English carol, and it moved on to the oldest – Dad," he said. It was also on this occasion that they were given a once-a-year glass of Dad's homemade wine. "Then it was off to bed before being woken up to go midnight mass," Dalton reflected. "Dad always left the service early, under the auspices of going to warm up the car. When we arrived [home], presents were piled up around the tree and pandemonium broke loose as wrapping paper flew about." About 2 a.m., with energy subsiding, it was time for the Christmas feast called Reveillons ("let's wake up"). "A vast and scrumptious array of French-Canadian dishes was prepared by Mom for the occasion," he said, sharing this recipe as a reminder of those early morning feasts. "A couple of hours later, we nestled into bed… Bon appétit et joyeux noel!" G Feast laid out after midnight mass Marc Dalton is MLA for the Maple RidgeMission riding.

While it was always delicious, it dawned on Daykin, her mom always made it because it was easy, too. "This is a recipe from my mom, she is 90 now. She always had it hand written on a slip of paper in her well-used cookbook. I don't know where she got it from, but I assume it was passed from a friend or relative." It has become one of her husband's favourite desserts, said Daykin, wife of Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin: "The family is thrilled to know that I have J Log recipe may be tattered, but mayor's wife pulls it out annually Judy Daykin (right) received this recipe from her mom Suzie Teichroeb. made chocolate roll.

People can't get enough of this RECIPE 2 heaping cups of gratitude; you can't overdo this. 1 heartful of love; easy to find and close to home. 2 acts of kindness; if it's hard to find it's easily compensated because you can create it at anytime. A blend of savouring moments; close your eyes and breathe. 1 head of understanding; simmered with the relishing of relationships. To be shared generously among friends and families; best of all, besides being life-enhancing, it's calorie-free! Tightly cover any leftovers. – Ken Clarkson, School Trustee Recipe for happiness …continued from page B10 "This is as much a necessity as the mazetti, as my dad told this story every year, even when my siblings and I became adults," Beechinor said. "When we had our children he told the story to them in their onesies. This made him very happy, and even when we couldn't be together one year, he sent a cassette tape of him reading the story, which we all played for our young children. They loved the sound of Papa's voice." Her father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease when Beechinor's kids were still in elementary school. He continued to tell the story for a couple Traditional meal filled with memories of Papa years, until he could no longer get the words out. And after he went into care, that old cassette tape was turned into a CD and all the grandchildren were given one along with a book of the story. "Every Christmas Eve, we pull it out and gather to hear Papa read the story," Beechinor said, getting teary at the memories. "For a couple years after he passed away, there were tears as we heard his voice. Now, it is a very joyful time," she concluded. "So many memories of our wonderful dad and papa, and it all begins with a traditional meal of mazetti." Create a little Christmas magic!

Dip the balls into the chocolate mixture and let them harden on sheet of wax paper.

"When my mom used to make them, she would sometimes let us help," she recounted. "But a lot of times she would make them after we went bed, so they would be a surprise for us. Or, at least that is what she said. Mom would hide them in the back of the freezer. Once we got a little older, we would go snooping to find them." Now an adult with children of her own, O'Connell said the treats continue as a family Christmas tradition. And she, too, makes them after the Carrying on Mom's tradition kids are in bed… and does her best to hide them away. "Merry Christmas, everyone!"

"I won't be sending in any family recipes unless I get an unexpected brainwave, which doesn't happen often any more," Code said. "So I thought you might be interested in why." "My Mum learned to cook in England during the Second World War, during rationing. You must of heard about English cooking pre-1980. My Mum was a great pastry maker but never had a recipe. She only had one cookbook. The rest was in her head, and she never measured anything. She used a tea cup for flour. All our veggies were cooked beyond recognition, and she had never heard of, or seen broccoli before coming to Canada. I don't think she ever ate any either. We had the same old things all the time. Carrots, potatoes, cabbage, turnip, parsnips – corn was for cows. We had wonderful things like beans on toast, canned spaghetti on toast, herring on toast, cheese on toast. Bacon and eggs with chips (fries) or sausages and chips, a real treat, was the traditional English breakfast. Yum, black pudding! Her homemade porridge was horrid and by the time we came downstairs for breakfast and poured the milk on it the lump of porridge rose and floated in the bowel. I wasn't very old when I gave that up. Christmas dinner: She finally did learn how to cook a turkey, but was happier with a big chicken. Dessert was a packaged English Christmas pudding for the grown ups with English custard, and we kids had jelly, two colours green and red, chilled each colour on an angle in a glass, with whipped cream and coloured sprinkles. Gravy was made from Bisto. She did buy a Christmas cake, put almond paste on it and the hard icing, with a ruffled paper edging, a gold Merry Christmas on top and decorated with the hard little silver balls that are hard on fillings. The house was decorated with holly on top of pictures and lots of metal-type paper chains that pull out and we hung these in windows and doorway and on the mantel. Bells in red and white, made of paper. I don't make anything unusual, following in Mother's footsteps. I used to make a mean pecan pie – from a Betty Crocker cookbook – with homemade pastry from the recipe (with the vinegar and egg) but my family prefers an ice cream cake, so I always get the DQ Christmas log as something resembling my British heritage. We also have Christmas crackers and I insist we wear the silly paper hats. I buy my packaged Christmas pudding in England from Harrod's store at the airport on the way home to Canada: a small one, as I'm the only one who eats it with British custard on top, the saviour of all British desserts. Doesn't matter how it turns out, custard covers all sins. As I get older, I miss my Mum's cooking, or at least become nostalgic about it.

Of the many beverages and appetizers that help capture the essence of the season, eggnog is probably the first that comes to mind. Eggnog is a drink that seems to have originated in Britain, from a drink called "posset" – a mixture of eggs, milk, and ale, sherry, or brandy. Posset was served in small, carved wooden mugs, called "noggins." Thus the name "eggnog." In North America, rum replaced the ale, sherry, or brandy.

And my parents, Hal and Doreen Sisson, continued the tradition," said Sisson, executive director of The ACT and Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows Arts Council. Now, she is passing it along, so more people can consider making it a family Christmas tradition. She serves it with scrambled eggs and hash brown potatoes. here's something to be said for the taste buds of dentists – especially one working in the Prairies during the 1930s.

Some are so obvious, like a meat thermometer, that it is bizarre when I come across a household that does not have one. Always during the approach of traditional holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter I seem to get bombarded with questions about how long a turkey should cook. Although I appreciate the opportunity for helping people in the kitchen, the answer to me always seems so obvious that it is surprising that more people don't already have the solution. Not only will a simple oven-proof meat thermometer help to save your turkey dinner, it will also be the resolution to mastering the doneness of a myriad most important meat roasting recipes. goals in cooking I have owned my curmeat is to keep rent meat thermometer for it moist while probably close to 15 years, still reaching the and it is still going strong. desired doneby Chef Dez Not bad for an investment ness.

There is a difference in the two temperature readings, because a stuffed turkey is denser, and the stuffing needs to reach a high enough temperature to kill any bacteria present. That said, I realize people appreciate approximate cooking times to effectively coordinate side dishes to the main course, and it is for this reason only that I will provide guidelines for you (see box, above right). Do not use these parameters as your main indication of doneness, but rather as an additional plan to your trusty meat thermometer. There are many factors for example that will play havoc on the final accuracy of the cooking time: the temperature of the turkey prior These parameters are not intended to be used as the main indicators of doneness, but only as an aid in to roasting, the temperature of the stuffing (if used), or using your meat thermometer. maybe the possibility that If your turkey is cooked in a 160ºC (325ºF) oven, then this table will offer an approximation, to help in your oven is running a bit planning other parts of the meal. hotter or colder than the set Weight Unstuffed Stuffed temperature.

A pair of wrestlers had a meeting of the minds (far left). Maple Ridge Secondary's Tarin Richardson flipped Terry Fox's Flint Patterson (inset) and Heritage Park coach Jon Curtis offered some encouragement to a wrestler (inset right). Breeann Derrick, Allison Merke , Lauren Westhaver, and Genevieve Scholl competed in Jingle Blades.

Maple Ridge's Grant Dezura and his teammates will be at the event at the Prospera Place arena. They are competing against 18 of the top men's curling teams in the world, including Vancouver 2010 Olympic gold medalist Kevin Martin and world champions Jeff Stoughton and Glenn Howard. • More online: www.mrtimes.com, click on "Sports" Take your average high school wrestling meet and hold down the metaphorical fast-forward button. This about sums up Thursday's zone district competition in the Mt. Crescent Annex, next door to Maple Ridge Secondary. In fewer than two hours, 80 wrestlers from Maple Ridge, Westview, Heritage Park, and Terry Fox secondary schools competed in at least two matches each, something that would take more than eight hours at a regular meet. Maple Ridge Secondary wrestling coach Bill McCrae called the meet, involving male and female grapplers, a success. Troy Landreville/TIMES MRSS Grade 8 wrestler Antonio Mina sized up his opponent. (left) A wrestler (inset) took a short rest before getting back on his feet again. "In addition to the obvious match experience they gained, the athletes were able to put their last three weeks of practice and technique to the test," McCrae said. "Some passed, some failed, but all gained some valuable feedback as I did watching my athletes… organize, set up, compete, then dismantle the tournament in minutes flat." Speaking about the wrestlers representing MRSS, McCrae said he was "very, very impressed with their work ethic and ability to work as a team and as an individual on the mat – another beautiful aspect of the sport."
