A hot, dry summer followed by perfecttiming for rainfall makes for an idealgrowing seasons for pumpkin patches,including the one at the Laity farm.by Troy [email protected]
Heather Laity and herhusband Don have beenwelcoming the public totheir pumpkin patch formore than two decades.
Heather said the hot, drysummer, followed by earlyfall rainfall, proved perfectfor pumpkin-growing.
“We had a good cropand I’m sure all pumpkinfarmers had a good cropthis year with all the sun-shine,” Laity said.
So, just how manyorange gourds canbe found at the LaityPumpkin Patch?
“Count a hundred, andthen count a thousand, and you know howmany’s in a thousand and the next area will beanother thousand, and I go by that,” laughedLaity. “Just in the school area, I like to keepabout 3,000 at least, just in that small area. Thebig ones, I don’t worry about because they’refor the public, but we do have to have enoughfor our school tours.”
The patch, part of 18 acres of farmland, wasslow to start with and has grown as the yearshave gone by.
“Now everybody comes to pumpkin patchesand corn mazes, so it’s changed,” Laity said.
Laity said as she and Don are approachingtheir 70s, they’ve recruited some help in theform of one of their sons and his wife.
The couple has four sons, two daughter-in-laws, and six grandchil-dren, many of whom helpout, along with who Laitydescribes as “a perfectstaff.”
“All of us 65-year-oldpensioners… we’re perfectstaff, here,” Laity said.
Laity Pumpkin Patch isopen seven days a weekuntil Oct. 31.
Hours of operation forthe public are:
• Mondays to Fridaysfrom 1:30-5 p.m.
• Saturdays, Sundays,and holidays from 9:30a.m. to 5 p.m. and, onFriday, Oct. 24, from 9a.m. to 5 p.m.
Admission is $5 per per-son (three years of age and older) and $20 perfamily (two parents and children residing in thesame household). Dogs are not permitted on thepumpkin patch.

Peace on Earth andHonouring Our Veterans arethe themes of poster, essay,and poetry contests that areopen to all Maple Ridge andPitt Meadows residents.by Troy [email protected]
With Remembrance Day fastapproaching, folks from allwalks of life in Maple Ridge andPitt Meadows can express theirthoughts about peace, and thosewho have served our country,through three different mediums.
Royal Canadian Legions acrossthe nation, including MapleRidge-Pitt Meadows’ Branch 88,are facilitating poster and literarycontests, open to all students inthe school system.
Candidates must complete anofficial registration form, avail-able from the local branch oronline at legion.ca/contests,and attach it to their entry (nostaples).
National first-place posters willbe displayed at the CanadianWar Museum in Ottawa forone year, while second- andthird-place winners will be dis-played at Parliament Hill duringRemembrance Week.
Poster entries must be no lar-ger than 56 x 71 cm.
Literary entries (poems andessays which can be submitted ineither English or French), will bemarked on the basis of originalityof thought, expression, presen-tation, grammar, spelling, andCanadian content.
The poster contests are categor-ized into primary (students ran-ging from kindergarten to Grade3), junior (Grades 4-6), inter-mediate (Grades 7-9), and senior(Grades 10-12).
The literary (essays andpoems) contest categories are pri-mary (kindergarten to Grade 3)junior (Grades 4-6), intermediate(Grades 7-9), and senior (Grades10-12).
Senior literary entries mustsubmit an essay that doesn’thave more than 800 words and apoem of not more than 32 lines;intermediate is an essay of 500words or less and a poem of notmore than 32 lines; and junioressays can’t exceed 350 wordsand their poems can’t have more
than 32 lines.Branch 88 youth education
chair Judy Ballard said this con-test has been going on for “years,and years, and years.”
Ballard said on a local level,the poster applications are sentto the school board, which thensends them to the schools in thedistrict.
“A lot of times when I gocheck at schools, they don’thave the information,” Ballardsaid. “So we’re looking at otheravenues to try and get the infor-mation out.”
Whonnock Elementary is aregular participant in the con-test, while students from JamesCameron School have also beencontributors.
The theme for both the literaryand poster contests is peace.
“What we’re looking for in theposter contests and the poems, isremembrance and peace, becausethat’s what we want,” Ballardsaid. “It’s very hard to portray it[peace], that’s why some of theposters are really unbelievable.”
Honouring Our VeteransJoe Robinsmith is organizing
a separate poetry contest, calledHonouring Our Veterans, inwhich scribes can email theirpoems to the Maple Ridge-Pitt
Contestants must include theirfull name, email address, phonenumber, and community.
The keyword “veterans” shouldbe in the subject of the email.
In 2010, Robinsmith, who saidhe has no connection with themilitary, entered a poem into theFestival of Light poetry contestand had an opportunity to do areading as one of the three win-ners.
“All these kidsshowed up, theyhad all enteredthis contest andthey didn’t get toread,” Robinsmithsaid. “They wereall excited, they hadthese little booklets ofpoems.”
This sparked the gen-esis of the contest. Robinsmiththought, there must be an eventfor kids, and he came up withthe theme of Remembrance Day.
It’s already recognized inschools through assemblies, andfor most people, it is a holiday.
“It’s a perfect tie-in for theschools to give kids a voice,”Robinsmith said. “I didn’t wantto restrict it just to kids, so wehave an adult side to it, as well.”
Hence, categories cover ele-mentary and secondary students,as well as adults.
Robinsmith publishes all of theentries, as well.
The contest had a strong localpresence last year, with roughly40 poems submitted, and wasrestricted to one entry per per-son.
This year, that’s been changedtoa maximum of three entries per
contestant.“The second yearwe did it, we had 66entries, but I had sevenfrom one person and
eight from another,”he said. “It became abook of their poems,almost, and I don’t
exclude anybody. Ithought, last year we’d
try it with one [poem] perperson and that restricted thenumber of people who entered.Some people want to enter morethan one, they feel they’re bothequally good, so we restricted itto three, this year.”
Robinsmith is working withthe legion to ensure that all thepoems submitted by studentsthrough his Honouring OurVeterans poetry contest will alsobe entered into the legion, stu-dents only, contest.

race raised $83,420 – bringing thefour-year total to $333,333 – for local sportand youth groups. This year also markedKidSport’s first involvement with the race.The organization received $23,035.

Tickets sold out earlyfor a culinary samplingevent featuring localfood and talent.by Christopher [email protected]
People love good food,so it makes sense GoldenHarvest sold out this year,and it seems the annualevent may need big-ger digs next year.
All 250 ticketswent quickly for thesixth annual culin-ary tasting event atthe ACT on Fridaynight, which spot-lights locally grownfood and the local talentpreparing it. Sampling tookplace on 18 food tables,with items ranging fromduck breast to cheese.Culinary arts studentsfrom Garibaldi, ThomasHaney and Maple RidgeSecondary also participat-ed, showing what they canproduce in the kitchen.
“It was awesome,” saidmain organizer KimberlyLauzon about the event.“The amount of food tableswere more than last year,there were more restau-rants participating andmore samples.”
“For $30 (price of the
ticket), this is a greatdeal,” she added.
The popular event isattracting foodies fromoutside Maple Ridge, bring-ing pressure to expand theevent next year.
“The ACT is the perfectvenue, for people comingout of town, it’s easy tofind,” Lauzon said.
“We really don’t know
yet if we want to expand itor change the look of it.”
One thing for sure is theevent will be back nextyear and it will likely beeven more popular
“People waited last min-ute to purchase ticketsbut you can’t anymore,”Lauzon said. “You need tobuy early now because itsells out.”

Our View
Small businessnot at all small
Don’t let the label fool you: “smallbusiness” is big business in B.C.
It’s Small Business Week this week.It’s a time set aside each year to recog-nize the important contributions thatsmaller businesses make to the econ-omy, and to our communities.
Officially, the “small business” tagcovers a wide range, from those that areoperated by one self-employed man orwoman, all the way up to anything withno more than 50 employees.
About 98 per cent of businesses inB.C. are classified as small business.They create pay cheques for more thana million British Columbians – about 56per cent of the province’s entire private-sector workforce.
Small business generates 26 per centof B.C.’s Gross Domestic Product.
Any way you look at it, small busi-ness is a significant force behind theprovincial economy.
At the community level, the smallbusiness impact is arguably greater thanits effect on economic indicators. Thecold numbers, like the 56 per cent pri-vate-sector employment figure, becomea lot warmer when you realize thatmost small businesses employ peoplein or near their communities – jobs cre-ated by small businesses in Maple Ridgeand Pitt Meadows are, for the mostpart, putting food on tables in MapleRidge and Pitt Meadows.
And the owners and employees ofthose small businesses are your neigh-bours. They coach (and sponsor) thelocal minor hockey and soccer teams.They contribute to local arts and cul-ture. Their children attend school withyour children. They worry about thecleanliness of the local environment.
In fact, we may be talking about you.It’s been said that small business is
the heart of the community. And withgood reason.
–B.G.
I am not alone!I used to think that I was the
only smart individual on thescene.
I was under the impression thatI was the only intelligent one inthe room.
I felt justified in reasoning thatI was the only person on theplanet capable of getting throughlife without making any mistakes,without slipping up, withoutlosing my concentration for justa moment, without fumbling theball – without making a costlyerror.
But I was wrong!See?Not only was I living in a universe built on an
erroneous assumption, but I have discovered thatthere are people out there who are even betterthan I am.
It turns out that there are thousands – perhapsmillions – of people who never make any mis-takes at all.
There may even be billions of them – peoplewho make not even the tiniest error of assumingthat they are alone in their perfection.
Indeed, the internet is teeming with peoplewho are loaded to the gills with perfection.
They thrive on their perfection and the perfec-tion of (carefully selected!) others.
They and their perfect companions have somuch communally cultivated perfection in themthat they are veritably overflowing with theirrighteous indignation.
They’re full of it!Just post a story about someone who has
inadvertently slipped up and caused somethingto happen.
Something bad.Something good.Something mediocre.Funny is good.Pain is better.
But it doesn’t really matter.(Important Note: Do not post
such a story about yourself,unless you have a thick skin andare able to withstand the wave ofInternet outrage that will inevit-ably sweep over you… if anyonenotices, that is, and you don’tsimply become a part of the tideof information flotsam and jet-sam that fills most of the trillionsof pages of detritus that pervadesthe medium, and you slip intothe natural obscurity of pre-inter-net humanity.)
If your post is noticed, and the information itconveys is sufficiently abhorrent (such as a videoof a girl with her dress tucked into the backof her pantyhose, or a guy tripping on a crackin the sidewalk) but premature or lacking inenough detail for anyone to develop a reasonedunderstanding of what really happened, justwatch the self-righteous comments fly.
Okay, those things are chuckle-worthy(although I’m not sure I understand why some-one wouldn’t tap such a girl on the shoulder andexplain her modest faux pas instead of pullingout a smart phone and tossing three or four min-utes of the unconscionable error – the grievousassault on fashion – on Facebook).
But just watch the comments grow like a slimymould under the post.
The girl probably should have taken a steakknife into the ladies room and slashed a fewthroats there, instead. She would have garneredmore sympathy.
And for heaven’s sake don’t let anyone catchyou being robbed or beaten or allowing yourselfto become in any way victimized.
Somehow, in the topsy-turvy world that is theinternet, the greatest sin is to be a victim.
Victims are the real perpetrators.Victims are their own fault.Internet society abhors victims.Even more than the rest of us.

Dear Editor,What is going on with drivers in Maple
Ridge? Twice within a week my husbandand I have witnessed what likelycould have been fatal accidents.
On one occasion, we werestopped at a red light on 227thStreet at Lougheed Highway. Myhusband started to advance on thegreen light when I caught sight ofa car heading east towards us onLougheed, at full speed, complete-ly unaware of what he was doing.
If I had not yelled to my husband to stop,we would have been T-boned, and at thespeed the other car was travelling, I haveno doubt all three of us would have died.
A few days later, we were heading weston Lougheed in the right lane, stopped ata red light. The traffic had started and waswell advanced, heading south on Laity.
In the lane next to us, a small minivan
sped through the red light. If my husbandhad not honked, the driver on Laity couldwell have been a fatality. The driver on
Lougheed also braked, and mir-aculously avoided the collision byentering into a lane of the east-bound traffic. For a short time shewas driving counter to traffic head-ing east, until she U-turned into anauto mechanic shop.
Fortunately, no cars were in thatlane.
To the best of my knowledge,neither of the offending drivers was distract-ed by cell phones or other devices, but bothappeared to be completely oblivious.
If we witnessed two near fatalities in theshort time we were are on our roads, I canonly imagine how dangerous our roads arebecoming. Pay attention, people, you oryour loved ones could be next.

Dear Editor,Mr. Bulpitt’s comments
[Benefits outweigh emis-sions, Oct. 7 Letters, TIMES]consisted largely of specula-
tion, opinion, and question-able facts. The oil and gassector now produces 25 percent of the total emissionsin Canada, making it our
largest and fastest growingcontributor of emissions.
Regulations for this sectorhave spent years sitting onthe environment minister’sdesk.
The Conservative govern-ment subsidizes the sector,which is ironic for a govern-ment that believes in “freemarket economics.”
Economists warned usyears ago that delayinga transition to renew-able energy would cost usdearly in the long run. As itbecomes obvious to all thatclimate change comes witha huge price tag, we need toask: Who will pay the bill?Taxpayers? Polluters? Futuregenerations?
As a country that com-manded internationalrespect in the past, it sad-dens me to see our currentprime minister duckingand running, damaging ourimage and moral credibilityon the world stage.

Leashes reduce rescue needsDear Editor,
Neither the television news coverage I saw nor yourarticle about the Thanksgiving Day dog rescue at Cliff FallsPark [Rescuers pluck dog from cliff’s edge, Oct. 16, TIMES]mentioned dogs are supposed to be leashed in the park.
It’s nice that the dog was rescued, but all the trouble andexpense, not to mention potential risk to pooch or people,could have been avoided if the owner had obeyed the rules.
I have seen dogs off-leash more than once in Cliff FallsPark. It was ironic that it was reported the owner suggestedit might be a while before Ozzi earns rights to off-leashagain. Some owners never learn, and think that the rulesare for other peoples’ dogs.
It would have been a nice public service and good report-ing to mention the fact that the rule exists.

• Petitioners protesting the inconvenient park-ing arrangement at Ridge Meadows Hospitalaren’t alone, if our Facebook followers’ com-ments are any indication.
“I would have signed it. The parking should be free at thehospital.” – Carol Skene
“So stupid! It’s not like we are going to the hospital to havefun! I don’t mind paying, but the price is unbelievable anduncalled for!” – Taryn Kelley
“I would have signed & my husband also – this is so rude,paying those prices!” – Shortie Polly
“I’m a mom of four children. My youngest was two whenshe was hospitalized for five days two years ago. There aremuch better ways my family could have used that money.Parking was not cheap.
“First, it’s the assumption people are emotionally coherentenough to deal with extra stress of paying for parking. Ifyou have a child going into emergency, you’re not worriedabout parking. It’s deplorable to expect it.
“Second, it’s the expectation that everyone has money togive for parking, either credit cards or change. None ofthese people have ever lived pay cheque to pay cheque andexperienced an emergency.
“Third, the parking lots are already purchased with tax dol-lars and fixed with tax dollars. So how does one have theright to double dip?” – Joleen Watson

Bombs wrongDear Editor,
We are being told thatCanada doesn’t stand byand do nothing when thereare injustices in the world.
The question becomeswhether what Canada isdoing is going to help theproblem or make it worse.
How many innocentpeople will become col-lateral damage during thebombing Canadians are par-ticipating in?
If Canada decided that,instead of bombing, wewould spend our efforts onhumane activities, wouldwe still be generating antag-onism towards Canada?

Gardeners whogrow chives,leeks and otherkitchen onions
don’t always think abouttheir exotic flowering rela-tives, alliums, which aregrown for their beautifulflower heads of purple,pink, white, lavender, andsometimes yellow or blue.
After flowering, the easy-to-dry seedheads can becut for winter vases or leftin the garden where theyadd interest until winterwinds take them.
Cut early, flower headstend to keep their originalcolours, albeit faded.
Besides being hardy andunusually healthy, alliumshave a vertical growthhabit that fits very wellinto containers and smallspaces. They reliably comeback year after year.
Though alliums willgrow in most soils thataren’t swampy, theirfavourite conditions are thesame ones that crocusesand tulips like – sun andwell-drained soil.
The foliage dies downimmediately after theyflower (or even a little
before in some).Once they’re dormant,
drought doesn’t botherthem. Most of their bulbscan be planted below orwithin the roots of otherplants, and their flowerswill rise well above com-pact annuals.
Squirrels seem to ignorealliums, as do otherpests.
Breedersare workingon creat-ing thedeepestpossiblepurplealliumssuch asthe 1.2-metreAmbassador. Butmost of the tall, large-globed ones, includingGlobemaster, Lucille Ball,or Allium giganteum arepinkish purple or purplish-pink.
Virtually all alliumsreturn year after year with-out hogging space, butthe Sicilian Honey Garlic(Nectaroscordum siculum)gradually makes a thickand ever-increasing mat ofbulbs. The flowers produce
90 cm stems of bells in anunusual blend of white,pink, purple, and green.
Another strange plant isAllium schubertii. It has aragged head of long, med-ium, and short floret stemsof pink flowers, and a fas-cinating shape for vases.
One of the most beautifulis Allium christophii,
only 30 cmtall, but with
heads thatcan reach25 cmin diam-eter. It’sanother
lovely onefor drying.
Each starryfloret is centered
with a black seed.One new and unusual
species is Allium obliquum,from Siberia, reputed to beevergreen.
Few alliums have yellowflowers, but this one does.It grows 100 cm tall and issaid to be hardy to zone 2.
Another pretty allium isChameleon, which beginsflowering rosy-pink, thenmorphs into white petalswith a purple stripe.
Also unusual is Alliumatropurpureum. It flowers adeep purplish-red.
It isn’t generally knownthat leeks, shallots, andvegetable onions can prod-uce very pretty flowers,though with leeks andonions it doesn’t happentill their second year, andby then, the root isn’tmuch use for eating.
Most flowers of vegetablealliums are white, but redonions or purple-tingedleeks may produce flowerswith a purple blush, purplestamens, or purple seeds.
Once you have a flower,you may obtain viableseeds for garden planting.
Obtaining seeds is besttried with one or twoplants that you’ve movedout of the vegetable gar-den. Old roots are suscept-ible to diseases and pests.

We will also have a silent auction and a 50/50 draw. The festivities will start at 5:00pm. All the money raised will go to the animals at our shelter.

You can purchase your tickets, or get more information, by calling 604-467-6259, or you canemail us at [email protected].
Katie’s Place has been around for 13 years, and in that time we have given shelter to, and found homes for, thousands of animals. Our main focus is felines but wehave also had our share of birds, hamsters, rats, bunnies and yes even sheep. We are a completely volunteer run, no-kill facility. We believe that all living thingsdeserve compassion, kindness, and love. Katie’s Place takes in many “hard” to place animals who are old, or ill, or have behavioural issues. Our dedicated teamof volunteers works with these animals to give them a second chance. Our existence depends on the kind members of this community. Without you we could notgo on.
Please come and join us on November 1st, have an amazing time out, and know that you are helping animals that have been abandoned, abused, and neglected.It’s a win / win kind of magical night. Hope to see you there.
A16 Tuesday, October 21, 2014 Maple Ridge & Pitt Meadows Times
One of the oddestcouples I haveever met was afterone of my live
cooking performances at alocal fair. A woman in thedistant crowd was watch-ing the tail end of my showand approached me after-wards.
“I can see by watchingyou that you love to cook,”she said. “I can see that thecrowd was inspired by yourshow, but my husband andI, we never cook. You couldeven go as far as saying thatwe hate to cook, so we never do it. Youmay think I’m exaggerating, but I’m not.We never cook. We eat in restaurants, gettake-out, fast food, and buy microwaveprepared dinners.”
I was shocked. My first thought was,“Why are you telling me this?”
Then she asked, “I bet you can’t guesswhat we use our oven for?”
I shrugged, and she said, “To storecookbooks. It’s wasted space for us, so weuse it as a bookshelf.”
It was the oddest thing I have everheard. “Why do you even own cook-books, if you don’t cook?” I asked.
“Doesn’t everybody?” she replied.Good point. She’s right. Everyone has
a collection of cookbooks, large or small– and apparently, even people who don’tcook.
We all get into cooking ruts at times,and our meals suffer from lack of stimula-tion – you’re not alone. However, rightthere in your own home, you have anassortment of cookbooks, just waiting.
I have a challenge for you. At somepoint over the next seven days, I challenge
you to open up one of thosecookbooks. Not one thatyou received as a gift, butone that you bought withyour hard-earned money.Relive the moment youbought it, the moment youflipped through the pageswith excitement and said toyourself, “I gotta have thisbook.” Find those recipesagain, and this time, makethem.
Motivation can be stimu-lated from outside (cook-book recipes, in this case),but true motivation comes
from within. Take that first step, the stepsthat follow, and the final step to makesomething happen. If you are discouragedby the same old meals you’re making,you’ll find a way to make it happen.
Many cookbooks simply just gather dustbecause we either forget about them, ormore likely, find that there is too muchemotional pain to learn new recipes andwe stick with what we know... it’s easier.
I guarantee, however, if you take thesteps and keep trying (even through pos-sible mistakes or failures), you will suc-ceed. Your meals will become new again,and you will find happiness in the inspira-tion that has been there with you, waitingfor you, all along. Take this success andlet it inspire you to keep learning newrecipes. Chances are you have a kitchenand plan to continue to eat the rest ofyour life, so this will not be a waste ofyour time.
I could suggest searching the internet forrecipe ideas, but with the cookbooks youhave already purchased, you will be moredriven (and in the end, more fulfilled) tocreate this victory yourself.

Simplifying the game planand going with what workshas helped the hockey squad.by Eric [email protected]
It’s back to basics for RidgeMeadows Flames head coachJaime Fiset.
And it’s an approach that seemsto be working for the hockeysquad.
On Friday night, the Flames
topped the Abbotsford Pilots 3-2in a back-and-forth home game atPlanet Ice.
The teams traded a number ofscoring opportunities, but it wasFlames captain Danny Wilsonwho found the back of theAbbotsford net with less than twominutes left in regulation time togive the Flames the victory.
“We’re really happy with ourefforts,” said Fiset. “I thought weplayed a fairly decent 60 min-utes.”
The win was the second one outof the team’s last three games.
For Fiset,the changeresults fromsimplifyingthe team’soverallgame plan.
“We just went back to thingsthat made us successful at the
beginning of the year,” he said.As the season progresses, Fiset
said teams will try new and differ-ent things.
“Some things work, and somedon’t,” he noted.
The team has returned to a“defence first” strategy, wherefocusing the strength in their ownzone and “taking care” of theirgoalie has “rewarded” the teamwith “offensive opportunities.”
Fiset also said he was “reallyhappy with the leadership of ourteam,” and added it “really isleading by example.”

It took a season and a half, coach-ing changes, numerous player move-ments and the dedication of a smallgroup of returning players to bringthe Samuel Robertson Technical(SRT) senior varsity Titans footballsquad to their first BC High Schoolwin this past weekend.
The Titan’s took on Abbotsford’sRick Hansen Secondary Hurricanes,battling between the 40 yard markersfor a full scoreless quarter.
Mark Dait opened the scoring inthe second quarter, while the teamconverted on a two pointer to pullahead.
Hurricane’s quickly responded butfailed on the convert – but the twopoints would be costly in the end.
The balance of the game was adefensive clash lead by SRT Titan’s#42 Scott Murdoch with 14 tacklesand defensive Titan BrandonRamsay, Riley Leopky, Rueben Marin
– denying Hansen any movementdown field.
Dait’s day included two moretouchdowns, 102 kick-off returnyards, a 45-yard catch, and four car-ries for 42 yards.
Quarterback #16 Ryan Borysreturned to the fold after missing acouple games and rambled up themiddle for a 49-yard touchdown andthrew two for five with receptions toDait and #85 Malcolm Cooke.
