Asha Dutt and Errol Weiss sing

Christmas songs and jingle bells

outside the Maple Ridge Save On Foods

to get donations for the Salvation Army

Christmas kettle Wednesday afternoon.

Colleen Flanagan/THE NEWS

Spare change can change lives

The dulcet tones of ErrolWeiss’s unique rendition of Jin-

gle Bells can be heard across theparking lot in front of the Save-on-Foods at Valley Fair Mall inMaple Ridge. But what Weissmay lack in musical ability, hemakes up for in earnestness, andhis toothy grin proves to be infec-tious to the shoppers passing by.

“My smile is their smile,” hesays with a chuckle.

Weiss and his friend Asha Duttare two of the many volunteerswho have staked out busy side-

walks and street corners acrossMaple Ridge and Pitt Meadowsto help raise money for the Sal-vation Army’s Christmas KettleCampaign.

It’s well below freezing this day,

but the pair is bundled againstthe cold, complete with Santahats. Weiss and Dutt create a

jangly din with the constant ring-ing of their hand bells, and themany shoppers respond, drop-ping whatever change they canmuster into the iconic red plastickettle.

“This is my first year as a vol-unteer,” says Weiss. “It’s great.It makes me feel good about my-self.”

Even in the cold, a simple act of charity can warm the heart.

All of the money raised locallyby volunteers like Weiss andDutt, stays locally, says MiriamLeslie, the Salvation Army’s Ket-tle Campaign organizer for MapleRidge and Pitt Meadows.

“This is the single biggest fund-raiser for The Caring Place,” shesaid.

The homeless shelter and out-reach centre located at the cornerof Lougheed Highway and HaneyBypass serves 9,000 meals everymonth, and provides temporaryshelter for the homeless for upto one week. The shelter’s coldweather program also providesan additional 30 spots during thewinter months. The Caring Placealso manages transitional housingfor stays of three months to three

years.Last year the kettle campaign

raised $68,000, a local record. Lesliesaid the shelter is hoping to bestthat mark this year, with a goal of $72,000.

“The kettles are what keeps [TheCaring Place] running,” she says.

The history of the campaign datesback to the 1891 in San Francisco,and has since spread around theworld, along with the SalvationArmy’s ministries.

Currently, the Salvation Armyhas about 20 volunteers taking partin the kettle campaign locally, butLeslie is hoping for 50 to 100 to comeforward by the end of the Christmasseason. Many of those volunteeringare have had to use the shelter atsome point and want to give some-thing back, Leslie says.

“Many of the people have beenthere and want to help pay back,”says Leslie. “They’re grateful for

the help they’ve received.”Due to the continued economic

downturn, Leslie says more peopleare use The Caring Place’s ser-vices than ever before.

Q: Therapeutic Reflexology is recommended formany conditions. How can that be?

Q: How can I prevent an upset digestive – especially overthe holidays when there is such a wide variety of foods?

Q: What’s the most sought-after cruise ship destinationfor this hectic time of year?

Q: What kind of pillow should I usefor the best nights’ sleep?

A: Therapeutic Reflexology reduces stress levels very well. Stress isa contributing factor to 90% of chronic concerns and illnesses. Byremoving the constrictions and congestion along the physical nerve

pathways all aspects of the body’s systems are restored and nourished,resulting in relief and healing. Therapeutic Reflexology has a soundtrack record in helping with headaches and migraines, arthritis andother inflammatory complaints to name just a few.

A: First of all, make the healthiest choice available! To prevent poorchoices from really taking a toll on your digestive function, here are afew tips to tame the tummy troubles: take a broad spectrum digestiveenzyme to calm gas & bloating with each meal; take 2 probiotics just

before bed on an empty stomach to improve digestive function; and

if heartburn is an issue, try DGL or chewable licorice tablets beforeeach meal.
