News

It was a good end to a long career.

Cathy and Ian Harry, former owners of the Boston Bar Kal Tire spent the last Saturday of their busi-ness operations hosting a Stuff the Cruiser pancake breakfast fundrais-er, surrounded by their community of nearly three decades.

The couple operated their shop together for 27 of the 34 years they’ve been married and have been repeated partners with the RCMP in running the holiday event for many years.

“The guy who purchased it, he decided he wanted to get in early so I told him he had to wait until after Stuff the Cruiser,” Cathy said. “It’s a

big fundraiser for the community for the food bank so we didn’t want to change the dates.”

It’s a pretty important event for the Harrys and for the Boston Bar community, propelled not just by the charity but also by a long-stand-ing rivalry with Hope.

“I told all my friends on Facebook and everybody’s coming down,” Cathy said just before the event. “I told them we’re going to beat Hope hands down. The challenge is on.”

And her prediction came true two weekends ago when the Boston Bar crew took in a total of 1,210 pounds of food and $2,166 in cash donations compared with Hope’s Stuff the Cruiser event which raised

1,200 pounds of food and $1,234 (a record year for that community).

The Harrys said they loved living and raising their kids in Boston Bar but that they haven’t had a break in a while.

They will both take time off before going back to work for Kal Tire, this time as employees.

“We came in when we were young and didn’t know much about towing or anything,” said Cathy noting support from the commu-nity throughout their stay.

“You couldn’t ask to raise kids in a better environment than to be in a small town because everybody knows you and helps you.”

One last community pushCathy and Ian Harry (couple on right) at their final Stuff the Cruiser event in Boston Bar.

There are two main types of calcium

supplements used today. Calcium

carbonate is less expensive and

depends on stomach acid for

best absorption. Take these with

meals. Calcium citrate, the more

expensive form, is absorbed well

when taken with or without food.

Keep a list of all the medications

you take with you at all times. This

list should contain all prescribed

medications, non prescription

medications and herbal products.

Many people don’t include vitamins

and herbal products on this list but

they can be important in assessing

your health.

Side effects can happen with

medications. Most are minor and

self-limiting. Examples include

nausea, drowsiness and skin

rashes. Side effects can happen

when certain drugs are mixed with

others. Alcohol is a good example

of the “other” drug. As your

pharmacists, we will inform you

of any side effects that may affect

your quality of life.

Good habits to cultivate for 2016

include taking your medications

correctly, daily exercise, not

smoking, moderate alcohol

consumption and eating sensibly to

keep your weight in control. These

habits all contribute to a healthier

life.

There is another habit we would

like you to keep… having our

The side effects of this service are

only positive.

Have a happy and safe holiday

Candlelight Service - 7pm Rev. Barclay Mayo

By Greg LaychakBlack Press

Becky Perey leans over her front yard fence and adjusts a string of Christmas lights on a tree that hosts a selection of other, less conventional decorations: a hulahoop, ice skates, a tricycle and a stuffed horse.

“These lights are fro-zen to the tree,” she tells her husband Keith Carter, as the couple takes stock of their property’s light and decorative display.

The bulbs that she’s examining now are just a few in a collection that boasts about 15,000 lights according to Perey, and as the sky darkens around the first snowfall of the winter they bring the house and yard to a strong glow.

“There’s at least one light that’s out every night I check,” she says.

It’s not just the sheer quantity of bulbs that make nightly mainte-nance mandatory for the Hope couple.

Every last one of the lights and decorations adorning their self-con-structed winter wonder-land is recovered, fixed and put back into use by the pair.

Perey and Carter got started creating a holiday display seven years ago when they lived in Yale and worked at the Hope landfill.

“We were just com-ing across all these lights and we were finding bro-ken ones and recovering them,” Perey says. “I’ve requested if people are throwing away lights, I’ll take them off their hands. So I’ve got donations from people from around the community too.”

That’s something they rely on more now after leaving their jobs at the landfill.

“I miss it a lot,” Perey says. “I miss the fact that

people would come in and I wouldn’t charge them if I could recycle it.”

And it’s not only Christmas lights the couple recovered in their time at the landfill.

Perey and Carter recy-cled over 1,300 bags of clothes, as well as count-less household items.

Much of it went as donations to help people in need.

“We probably fur-nished four people’s hous-es,” Perey says.

Some of that charity was for two fire victims in Hope, helping the unfor-tunate recipients get their feet back on the ground.

“We’ve been able to recover lots out of that landfill,” she says. “That’s why I miss it so much, it was recycled back into the community.”

Perey and Carter are two of a shrinking pop-ulation of resourceful fixer-uppers that lives in the growing world of fast consumption and an

increasing throw-away culture.

They emphasize that much of what’s tossed doesn’t need to go to the dump.

“I can recycle it,” Perey says. “I tell people, bring it here. I’ll fix it instead.”

While much of their reusing might go unno-ticed in the background, the couple’s Christmas lights are a grand display of what is possible if per-ceived junk is given a sec-ond chance.

Perey says they wish they could have the deco-rations up all year, adding that it takes the pair about two months to get the dis-play ready and running.

In the warm months, Perey and Carter work on any repairs and tweaks that are needed on their accumulated decor so everything’s ready for October when the instal-lation begins.

And now that it’s fin-ished Carter’s next proj-ect is rigging up his truck with lights this year, expanding the couple’s glow factor to the roads.

Perey says it’s all worth it when they get a lot of compliments and thanks from passersby for repre-senting Hope with their lights.

“That’s what I like to see, I want to bring out the Christmas spirit,” she says.

Christmas Memories

My best memories of Christmas are being

with family and friends, lis-tening to the various stories and laughter and hugs that resulted from the various festive occasions.

Reminiscing about past Christmas’ and other family and friends stories are also an important part of the season.

So to find “one” Christmas that stands out the most, I can’t, they are all special in their own way.

I would like to wish everyone a “Merry Christmas” or a “Happy Holiday” which ever you prefer; just, be Happy, Healthy and Safe

Terry RaymondElectoral Area A director

Christmas growing up in Nova Scotia was always a magical

time. I remember one particular holiday when my brother and I were determined to stay up all night and debunk this Santa theory for real. We had our theories that this burly night visitor didn’t exist but there was still a shred of faith. To keep us up all night w decided to play a card game called war, which if played correctly is never-ending, perfect for an all night christmas eve stakeout. We had the perfect vantage and after a couple of hours sure enough mom drove into the driveway and proceeded to unload christmas presents, which we were

sure came from grammies house. Satisfied we tucked into bed ready to open them the next morning. Christmas morning came and we went downstairs to find a present we hadn’t noticed coming from the back of moms car. It was a big box that was shaking which confused us of course. It fell over and out flopped a wonderful full of energy puppy. My brother and I looked at each other in disbelief and we both knew our operation was inconclu-sive, maybe there was something to this Santa Claus after all.

Nat Baker,Baker’s Books

Faith, family, friends and food are the hallmarks of my Christmas

memories and traditions. Our family gathering always

includes an original poem, written and read by my Dad in the style of ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, in which he mentions each family member and something significant that we have experienced during the year. He always gets choked up when he tries to read the verse about my mom.

As Lisa’s family is in the Calgary area, we usually make a road trip to Alberta during the holidays and get to spend some quality time enjoying the snow, great food, and reconnect-ing with family that we don’t get to see as often as we’d like. �It’s always tough to leave.

At our extended Strahl family gathering, my Uncle Gary reads the story of the Birth of Christ from the book of Luke, and we sing

Christmas carols together after-wards.

Our Bateman family gatherings are legendary for the abundance and variety of food, especially desserts, and an ever growing group of great grandchildren for my grandparents to feed and love.

I can’t wait to make more memo-ries at our family gatherings this year, and wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Christmas Memories

They say “kids say the darnedest things” and that is so very true. Many moments become

warm and forever memories when working with our youngest library patrons.

One of my first Christmases at the library, a little guy came in and was mesmerized by the decorations hanging from the ceiling at the desk. He told me that he thought they were pretty ... and then he spotted the fire sprinkler. He asked me what it was and I replied that if there was a fire in the library, the sprinkler would squirt out water and make everything wet and that would put out the fire. He looked at me and then the sprinkler and then again at me. You could see him thinking very seriously about this. His mom and I waited. And after a long pause, he said, “You could wear gum boots.”

Deb Ireland, Library SupervisorFraser Valley Regional Library - Hope Library

It may be a little cheesy because we work up there, but every

Christmas eve since I was a kid, my family has been up at Manning Park to attend the Torchlight Parade. Before I was able to ski, I would watch with my mom from the bottom, and it was such an exciting occasion when I was final-ly old enough to take part in it.

My family, and the staff from the ski hill, many of them from different parts of the world, all at Manning for the season and away from their families for Christmas for the first time, we all load up the Blue Chair in silent, starry dark-ness and ride up to the top.

Then we ski down with our bamboo lit with road flares to the cheers of the guests awaiting at the bottom.

My dad sets off the fireworks and my mom cajoles everyone into singing “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

Santa makes his appearance, ski-ing or snowboarding, or depending

on his skill level, he rides a skidoo down to greet all the kids and hear their last-minute requests for pres-ents before he heads off to work for the night.

We’ve done it every year since I can remember (minus the year my mom broke her wrist in the park-ing lot and we spent it in the emerg

ward instead) but the specialness of the night never gets old!

I’ve included a picture of how pretty it is, because “road flares” don’t sound as magical as it actu-ally looks!

2013CCNABLUE

RIBBON

NDP leader John Horgan sat down with Tom Fletcher for a year-end interview in his Victoria office Dec. 10. Here are excerpts. For the full version, see the Opinion tab at www.hopestandard.com.

TF: In the recent federal elec-tion, national NDP leader Thomas Mulcair rejected the Trans Pacific Partnership sight unseen, endors-ing letters from Unifor and CUPE saying this is a bad deal. Is your party seen as against Pacific Rim trade?

JH: No, I don’t think so, and what I said at the time was that I support

trade. We’re a trade-centred prov-ince. We’re looking across the ocean at the largest market the world has known, and I support getting our products to higher-priced markets.

But having said that, the B.C. Liberals embraced TPP without even having seen it.

TF: The NDP and unions have historically been protectionist. Do you see any need to modernize the B.C. party?

JH: When it comes to trade, I think we have modernized. And who was the first premier to go on a trade mission from British Columbia? It was Dave Barrett. And now there has been a succes-sion of premiers make regular visits to other markets to try to stimulate economic activity here at home.

TF: Your party supports the car-bon tax now, but not the revenue neutral approach. Do you support

increasing the rate?JH: I’ve looked carefully at the

report tabled by the premier’s [advi-sory] group, a vast array of British Columbians, and there was a lot of water put into the wine to get to the position they got to. What I’m com-fortable with is that the date that they’ve selected for a ramping up of the carbon tax is 2018, which will be a year after the next provincial election. So if I’m successful and form a government, I’ll have time to look at tax policy broadly to see if we can make improvements in the carbon tax.

For me, and I think for most British Columbians, the model that Alberta has adopted of taking rev-enues and driving them into indus-tries, or activities like transit, that will reduce emissions over time.

TF: Natural gas price and volume continue to go down, along with

commodities generally, and sup-ply of oil and gas keeps going up. What’s your take on the prospects for LNG after the year we’ve had?

JH: Not good. I’ve always said price will determine whether inves-tors drop down multi-billions of dollars in a far-away place to pro-vide a product that is not devel-oped here. Brownfield opportuni-ties have moved very quickly in the U.S. Changing LNG import facili-ties to export facilities is a whole lot easier and cheaper than starting from scratch.

Getting to the coast is a chal-lenge for fossil fuels, and the last LNG price point I saw delivered in Asia was $5.70 a unit. You’re not going to make money at that price, even with rock-bottom prices here in B.C.

TF: We’ve just had a couple of announcements as part of the gov-

ernment’s Jobs Plan, $100 million in financing for tech startups, which your critic was pleased about, and an agriculture and food strategy. Are we going to see more Jobs Plan advertising in the new year?

JH: It’s the Christmas season, the federal election is over, there are two sets of ads running now. I think these ads are self-promotion. These are not informing the public on information that they really need.

If it’s just smiling people with hardhats on, I think we’re going to have something to say about that

Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Email: [email protected] Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

As we hit the final stretch of Christmas preparations, it’s well that we slow the pace for a while and give some thought to neighbours who may be less fortunate than ourselves.

Homelessness and poverty may seem to be invisible problems to some, however every volunteer and social service agency in Hope can tell you they are nonetheless real.

There are vulnerable people in our community – people on fixed incomes such as disability and old-age pensions, those eking out a bare living from low-paying jobs, those who must rely on the kind-ness of family and friends to keep a roof over their heads.

As they get squeezed by rising rents (the spectre of renoviction is more than a Dickensian Christmas ghost, alas) and punishing food and medication costs, making ends meet is well-nigh impossible, while homelessness looms as a very real possibility.

When temperatures hit zero, or continuing wind chill or inclem-ent weather poses a genuine health risk, a shelter does offer solace for some – whether they are actually homeless or living in low-rent accommodation with insufficient heat.

Those tasked with providing support know that it can only be a stop-gap solution at best – the grim cycle of poverty and homeless-ness doesn’t end when the season passes and temperatures rise.

If we’re tempted to say these misfortunes are not our problems, we should pause and reflect on the meaning for all the celebrations we have at this time of year. Our tradition of giving Christmas gifts, after all, is based on a notion of honouring gifts that we ourselves have received.

Whether we do this as a tenet of religion, or out of whatever our belief system may be, we must acknowledge that the underlying con-cept of the holiday is rooted in being a good neighbour.

Let thought for the less fortunate be part of our wishes and actions this Christmas and in the new year ahead.

Kudos to the activities coordinators at the Fraser Hope Lodge, Marja and Roseann for hosting a very special Christmas party, with Santa, musical entertainment and great treats for the residents of the lodge and their families…plus.

Kudos to the Hospital Auxiliary who donated the money so that every resident could have a gift.

Mr. Dick Gardner for all his past and future letters to The Hope Standard. It is refreshing to have a “real approach” on matters of happiness and sorrow in our town. Hope you and your fam-ily have a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Look forward to reading your thoughts in the new year.

I attended the funeral service for Ron McInnes along with 300 others.

The master of ceremonies, Chief McHalsie, opened with a drum prayer. Then he asked if anyone would like to speak. Over an hour later and many tears, everyone mentioned his smile. Ronnie had few assets. He paid rent for his place and he didn’t even have running water (Hope’s East Side?). Everyone had nothing but praise for this man.

A lady from Hope who owns a store

sold Ron many trinkets. After awhile she said to him that he must have a lot of these in his home. Ron said that he had none as he gave them to his friends, which was everyone. “Wow again”.

What a pleasure it was for me to have known such a person. We all should be so lucky.

Happy New YearDick GardnerPS Thanks, Victor Smith for the tree

lights.

‘Tis the season all right.As a social worker who sees

many separated parents in dispute about the care of their children between them, Christmas time is a busy and conflict laden time of year.

Referrals are always up and service is most frequently for help determining the residential schedule over Christmas. The money that was to go for gift giving is shared between the lawyers and myself or my colleagues as we see parents in conflict figure out how and when the children’s time with them will be divvied up. Not only are we busy, but so too the court system as parents file what they believe to be emergency motions seeking the Judge to make a decree of a solution.

For most, a judge’s decree or an agreement reached through mediation or collaborative law or lawyer assisted negotiation will be sufficient to help the parents manage the time. For others conflict will still erupt on the holiday, very often Christmas day itself.

I will return to my office after a few days away to listen to messages and read emails with one parents blasting about the other parent, police involvement, need for

contempt orders and abject hatred about the untrustworthy other. Often I will receive emails from both parents saying essentially the same thing albeit with some nuances to the details so that all blame is ascribed to the other. Rarely though do I hear about the impact of these events on the children. That actually comes much later.

Apart from the frequent behavioral, mental health and academic difficulties these children surface with along the way, come adulthood I am visited by these then adult children with their new partner in tow.

They come because this now adult child needs help to explain to the new partner why they don’t want to celebrate Christmas or why they don’t want to visit any parents on Christmas.

Given their traumatic experiences of Christmas in childhood, who could blame them. Anxiety about Christmas still grips them. From their perspective, Christmas is dangerous and hence something to be avoided. This, by the way, is not only an outcome for children of high conflict separated parents, but also seen in intact families where

domestic violence is a factor and in families where parental alcoholism is a factor or in families where there is significant parental conflict, and/or abuse or neglect of the children.

Christmas isn’t the Hallmark memory for many and for them, the Christmas season is a frightful and in view of the positive experiences of others, even a confusing time of year.

This year, be mindful that your partner, your friend, your colleague, your neighbour, may not be relying on the same memories as you this season.

If someone feels or looks at odds please appreciate that their recollections at this time of year may be traumatic. Don’t push, don’t argue. Support and appreciate we have different childhood experiences that color our view of the season and our reaction to it. Perhaps offer them a good experience.

Be kind. Be gentle. Be understanding. Be accepting. Be generous of spirit. Help build new memories from hence forward.

Christmas Memories

My cousin Aaron Volpatti just played his first NHL game for the Vancouver Canucks so I

went out and bought Canuck shirts for the entire family and got Aaron’s name and number on the back. The family was thrilled but my wife was even more excited to find an engagement ring at the bot-tom of her stocking!

Dave Mawhinneyfrom the Silver Chalice

I spent much of my childhood anticipating Christmas. We’d saw off a lopsided tree in the

bush, which Dad would fix by drilling holes in the trunk with his old hand drill and inserting branches. There were school parties and a big chil-dren’s program at church, followed by long-awaited candy bags - but especially there were presents. We combed the Eatons and Sears catalogues for months and laid under the blinking lights of the Christmas tree for hours; speculating, shaking packages and trying to read through the wrapping.

Christmas Eve would start with our favourite meal, Kentucky Fried Chicken. Mom and Dad methodically washed the dishes and tidied up, then read the Christmas story, by which time we were almost mad with excitement. Finally Mom would hand out the gifts and we all had to watch each one be opened and share their joy, whether feigned or real.

True, we seldom got exactly what we wanted, but it was a magical time nevertheless. It was about so much more than material things, it was about a secure family, the ideal of the Christ child, the love of parents and a cease-fire between siblings. It was all very special.

I wish, so much, that every kid in BC this Christmas will enjoy a little of what I did.

Laurie Throness,MLA, Chilliwack-Hope

Christmas, such a busy time at the post office. People don’t

send as many Christmas cards but more people do their shopping online so we still handle lots and lots of parcels.

There is one thing that remains constant though, children still write letters to Santa at the North Pole HOH OHO. And Santa’s little elves at the post office respond to each and every letter. (hopefully there is a return address). Since 1982 Santa’s elves have responded to 21.8 million letters. (Elaine her-self started work at the post office in 1982 as well)

It is always entertaining and delightful to read the words of the young ones. You can’t help but smile and feel the magic of Christmas. One year Santa was so popular that the elves ran out of letters. This created quite a predicament for one local family who were travelling abroad for the Christmas break. Two young girls were going to be devastated if they didn’t receive a response. The elves worked extra hard, and when

their supply of letters was replen-ished two letters travelled overseas and arrived before Santa himself. These girls are grown up now and according to their father, these special letters from Santa are safely tucked away with their favourite things.

Each year there seems to be that one letter that has an impact on the staff.

Many years ago we received a letter from a young girl whose dad

had passed away unexpectedly earlier in the year. She asked for nothing other than to ask Santa if her dad was doing okay, and if he could watch out for him. Santa’s elves at the post office do their best to make each letter special, and nobody knew quite what to do with this young girl’s letter. I phoned the mother and asked her if she knew her daughter had written to Santa. This was news to her, so we read the letter and sought her guidance in what words “Santa” should reply. Santa obliged and the young girl got a special letter that year. When Christmas Eve came and it was time to leave work, I took the letter and deliv-ered it to her mom. Words weren’t necessary as we gave each other a hug and ignored the tears rolling down our cheeks. They no longer live in Hope, but each year when the Santa letters arrive I cannot help but think of this family and hope they are doing well.

After two months of construction and a month of closure, the Flood Hope Bridge reopened to traffic Friday relieving local residents who were inconve-nienced by the construction project.

The span located over Silver Skagit Creek just off of Highway 1 (also known as SilverHope Creek Bridge) was under construction since Oct. 2 for structural repairs including work on the expansion joints and approach slabs, as well as reapplying coating on the girders according to district staff.

“We have been very grateful to the patience dis-played by the public and businesses,” said district CAO and acting director of operations, John Fortoloczky. “If we had tried to undertake these repairs while keeping the bridge open, the costs would have skyrocketed and the time to completion would have been significantly longer.”

The $472,000 project is part of the 2015 district bud-get carrying forward into 2016. The final payment will be made upon completion and successful inspection.

“The outcome is that we will have a newly revitalized bridge that addressed potential structural public safety concerns,” said Fortoloczky.

Residents are happy now that the bridge is open again according to Audrey Hilts who lives nearby the finished construction site.

“That’s great now that it’s open,” she said the morn-ing of the bridge reopening. “It’s going full blast here this morning.”

But the closure was cause for concern on more than one occasion according to Hilts who said many truck drivers that use the route found themselves in an awk-ward position.

“They’d get up here right to the bridge, they’d slam on their brakes, then they’d have to turn around,” she said. “There’s no place for them to turn.”

Neighbours would help the large vehicles turn around at night when there was no visibility.

Hilts said she was surprised there wasn’t better signage or lights indicating the change for nighttime through traffic.

The bridge will be closed again briefly in the warmer spring weather to allow for paving.

Kinder Morgan pressed ahead with its final argument for the Trans Mountain oil pipe-line twinning before reg-ulators Thursday, even though the project is now cloaked in uncertainty with a new federal Liberal government intent on

reforming the review pro-cess.

Trans Mountain lawyer Shawn Denstedt argued the 150 draft condi-tions for the project can address all environmental concerns, and he stressed the strong economic benefits to Canada from getting world prices for Alberta oil.

“We cannot accept that

our resources will be for-ever held hostage and sold at a discount,” Denstedt told the National Energy Board. “Real and impor-tant benefits for all Canadians should not be cast aside based on improbable risks.”

The company hopes the NEB will recommend approval by a May 20 deci-sion deadline – following

arguments by interveners in the new year – and the federal cabinet will give the $6.8-billion project the green light.

But Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, speaking Thursday in Vancouver, reiterated the need for changes to restore pub-lic trust and ensure such projects have social licence to proceed.

Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said federal ministers have indi-cated projects like Trans Mountain that are already under review will con-tinue and “not go back to any restart or square one review.”

But he said they’ve also been told there will be some sort of “transition

treatment” for all projects, even those under review.

“We don’t know what that means yet,” Anderson said. “We don’t know what that will do to our process.”

The addition of a sec-ond pipeline would nearly triple Trans Mountain’s capacity to 890,000 bar-rels per day, increasing oil tanker traffic from five to

34 each month. Anderson said ship-

pers that have contracted to use the pipeline have not wavered from their firm commitments to 707,000 barrels per day of capacity. The rest is to be sold on the spot market.

If approvals are issued on schedule, he said, con-struction could begin by the end of 2016 and the twinning would be fin-ished by mid-2019.

“It’s the most highly scrutinized pipeline proj-ect by the NEB in history,” Anderson added.

He said the proj-ect would bring major improvements to marine spill response capabilities along the shipping route from Vancouver past Sooke, with more than $100 million invested and 100 jobs created at five new bases.

Anderson stressed Trans Mountain’s 60-year history of operations and the fact the second pipeline largely follows the existing one or other brownfield corridors.

Next month, project opponents will respond.

The NEB will hear intervener oral argu-ments starting Jan. 19 in Burnaby. The City of Surrey will be the first intervener.

New electronic speed signs that activate in bad weather to reduce the speed limit are now being installed on stretch-es of the Sea-To-Sky Highway, the Coquihalla and Highway 1 near Revelstoke.

The province commit-ted to the variable speed zones at the same time it decided to raise the posted maximums to 120 km/h on portions of the Coquihalla, and to 100 km/h on much of the Sea-to-Sky Highway.

The 47 digital signs are to go live in early 2016 and when they’re acti-vated the dialed-down limit will be enforceable by police.

The province had promised the digital signs would be in place for this winter, but with two to three months of testing still required, winter may be mostly over on the Highway 99 section by the time they’re working.

visibility sensors will be calibrated to detect challenging conditions – wheth-er it’s extreme cold, freezing rain or heavy snowfall – and provide a recom-mended speed to operations staff, who will update the maximum speed shown on digital signs.

Overhead message signs at the

entrance to each corridor will tell driv-ers they’re entering a variable speed zone and to be aware of changing weather conditions.

The transportation ministry is spending $12.5 million to install and run the three pilot systems.

Officials hope the pilot project will spur more drivers to reduce speed in severe winter conditions and save lives.

Instructor Nick Zupan jumps onto an isolated block of snowpack, testing for weak layers that can trigger a slab avalanche. Seventeen people attended a three-day avalanche safety program in Hope, which included a field day at Gibson Pass Ski Area in Manning Park. Hosted by Hope Mountain Centre with guest instructors from Thompson Rivers University, the program has drawn a strong turnout for several years, attracting snowshoers, skiers, sledders, and Hope Search and Rescue personnel.

For the fourth time in the tour-nament’s 10-year history, Team Canada West is the gold medal winner at the World Junior A Challenge.

Helped by Chilliwack Chiefs defenceman Dennis Cholowski, Canada West defeated Russia 2-1 in Saturday’s gold-medal game at the Cobourg Community Centre in Cobourg, ON.

After a scoreless first two peri-ods, Bobby McMann (Bonnyville, AJHL) took advantage of a turnover deep in the Russian zone to open the scoring early in the third.

Penticton Vees star Tyson Jost (Penticton, BCHL) scored the even-tual game-winner with three min-utes to go, and the Canadians held off a late Russian push, backed by 26 saves from goaltender Matthew Murray (Spruce Grove, AJHL).

“When [the Russians] played us in exhibition I don’t think they were prepared for us, but today they were a different team” said Canada West defenceman Cale Makar (Brooks, AJHL). “I think our speed and physicality wore them down, and that’s the reason we got gold.

“I thought [the Russians] did a great job blocking shots. The first time we played them they didn’t get in the lanes,” added Canada West bench boss Tim Fragle. “Tonight they did, and their goalie was excep-tional. We were trying to shoot from different angles and make it difficult on him. It’s an unbelievable feeling right now; after all the work we put as a staff, and the players, it feels very good to be rewarded.”

On Friday night, the United States defeated Team Canada East 7-1 in the bronze-medal game in

Whitby, ON. Lucas Batt (Carleton Place,

CCHL) scored for the Canadians late in the second period, but the Americans won a medal for the ninth year in a row.

Eight of the 10 gold-medal games at the World Junior A Challenge have featured at least one Canadian team. Team Canada West won gold at the first two tournaments, in 2006 and 2007, and also took the top prize in 2011 and 2015. The team also earned silver in 2008, 2009, and 2012, and won bronze in 2013. Team Canada East earned sil-ver medals in 2006, 2007, 2010 and 2011, and claimed bronze in 2008.

• Jost was named the tournament MVP and was also named to the tourney all-star team.

The Valley Choppers men’s soccer team got an early Christmas present, December 12, when their opponents turned up short-handed. Alta Pacific Mortgages has had the Choppers’ num-ber for the last few seasons in the Chilliwack Men’s Soccer League but they dug themselves a hole by having to start the game four players short and only gaining two more as the game went on.

The Valley Helicopters-sponsored Choppers have had the upper hand in numbers four other times in recent years — yet failed to get more than a tie. A win is not a sure thing in such situations, if the short-handed team can form a good defensive shell and wait for a chance to counter-attack.

This time, though, the Choppers were deter-mined to put the heat on their opponents early and wear them down with a better possession game.

Brenden Gillespie got the Chopper’s first goal 10 minutes in, taking on three defenders and

slipping a shot against the grain before getting wiped out.

Karl Price doubled the lead with a blast shortly after, then mishandled a hot pass for a lucky third goal of the year. Price, who gradu-ated from Hope Secondary in 2013, signed with the Choppers in November.

Team captain, Zane MacDonald made a key recruit over the summer, getting fellow forest-fire-fighter Brian Davis to join the team. Davis has played elite-level ball, including at UFV and his skills have given the Choppers a big boost. Defenders need to pay plenty of attention to Davis, freeing up other Choppers for Davis to feed his passes to.

It was Davis making the set-ups in the first frame, then he scored to put the Choppers up 4-0 early in the second half.

Alta weren’t going to fold, though, and they came back with two goals of their own, momen-tarily raising the tension.

Choppers midfielder Andrew Tarrant made it 5-2 when he connected on a solid shot that gave the Alta keeper no chance.

“The ball was passed across the field from

the left to Yvon McKay, who let the ball come to me,” said Tarrant, a pastor in Hope. “I hit it first-time from the edge of the box. I wouldn’t normally be so aggressive but I’ve been trying to be more confident in my play lately and so just took a hopeful shot and it worked. It went in the bottom left corner, which probably made me look much better than I am.”

Davis was set up by McKay for the Choppers’ sixth goal of the game —his sixth of the season — a volleyed blast that looked like it could have put a hole in the mesh.

The 6-2 win was the Choppers’ most decisive in a number of years, in a very competitive league. This season, they’ve had an excellent first half against most of the league’s best teams, before losing steam in the closing stages. Recent additions of skilled players should give them more success in the new year.

* * * * *When rain, snow or dark of night puts a stop

to the outdoor game, you can always bring it indoors.

Following the success of their fall co-ed bas-

ketball league, Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services is offering a co-ed indoor soccer league for ages 16 and up.

Assistant manager, Amanda Arbuckle says the league will run on Tuesday evenings at Silver Creek School, starting January 12. It will be 4-on-4, with a requirement that at least one female be on the floor for each team throughout the game.

If a team is short on females in that game, “in the interest of good sportsmanship, the oppos-ing team may lend players to the team that is short so that they can field a lineup and play a game,” says Arbuckle.

“A team or individual can register and once all registrations are received, staff will work with the teams in attempts to provide balance.”

As with the basketball league, the soccer league would be self-officiating, though staff would be supervising.

The goal is to have enough players for four teams, with each team getting one game per week until March 1 — but it’s subject to registra-tion numbers. Cost is $20 and you can sign up at the rec centre’s reception desk until January 8.
