It Came Upon the
Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
“Peace on the earth, good will to men
from heaven’s all gracious King.”
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still thru the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heav’nly music floats
O’er all the weary world.
Above it’s sad and lowly plains
They bend on hov’ring wing,
And ever o’er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
For lo! the days are hast’ning on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever circling years
Shall come the time fore told.
When the new heav’n and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Chilliwack-Hope MP Mark Strahl was one of five Conservative MPs to make the shadow cabinet picked by interim leader of the Official Opposition, Rona Ambrose.
Strahl was named Opposition critic for Fisheries and Oceans, and the Coast Guard last week.
“I think it was a good fit for me, and for the MP of this riding, par-ticularly with the Fraser River run-ning through it,” said Strahl. “Plus we’re close to the Pacific Coast.”
Fishing and aboriginal issues intersected quite a lot, he noted, in his previous role as parliamentary secretary for Aboriginal Affairs.
“My experience in that role will serve me well,” Strahl said.
He looks forward to the new role.
“It’s a great opportunity and I was pleased to get the call.”
In terms of priorities, it should be on conservation for DFO, Strahl said.
“We want our precious salmon resource to be there for our chil-dren and grandchildren,” he said.
It’s key for First Nations, and for local businesses that depend on the recreational fishing sector, particularly the sockeye runs.
But the priority should also be ensuring that DFO operates with “common sense,” concentrating more on the Fraser River than farmers’ ditches in the Fraser Valley, for example, he said.
Manning Park opens earlyManning Park Resort is open-
ing alpine ski operations this week-end, one of the earliest on record, and they’ve just announced an Opening Weekend Special. They will take $10 off your day pass if you bring non-perishable items for donation to the Food Bank when you purchase your lift ticket.
General Manager Mike Barker expressed how excited he is to get people on the snow and also notes the importance of contribut-ing to community in a meaningful way during a difficult time of year. Mike says, “It’s a win-win situa-
tion!”Manning Park Resort is open-
ing with a peak snow depth of 116cm of all-natural, organic snow. The mountain has great coverage across all runs, and with another 10 cm of the good stuff that just fell last night, skiers and snow-boarders are more than ready to go.
Lifts in operation will be the Orange Chair and Handle Tow and updates will be available on their website regarding opera-tions. Low season accommodation rates are also still in effect until
the beginning of December.The Nordic trails saw a lot of
traffic last weekend for opening weekend, with many cross-coun-try skiers thrilled at the early chance to get on their skis. Snow conditions were beautiful at -7C with some sunshine.
Manning Park Resort is a four season family resort 45 minutes east of Hope on Highway #3, that offers year-round camping and accommodation, hiking, canoeing, skiing/boarding, 64km of Nordic trails, snowshoeing; and an out-door ice rink.

Trucker’s body recoveredThe body of a 61-year-old
trucker has been recovered after the logging truck he was driv-ing went off the road and down a steep embankment on Nickel Mine Road last Tuesday.
The incident occurred just before noon on the Nov. 17. The truck slid 2,000 feet down the slope after the road was washed-out.
The search for the driver was hampered by powerful stream flows and rocky debris.
On Wednesday morning, Valley Helicopter was called to assist with a flight over the area to ensure that Hope Search and Rescue and Chilliwack personnel could resume the search safely.
A geotechnician was also
called in to assess the terrain and ensure the embankment was stable.
With darkness moving in, the search was made more difficult.
“The dig was hard and mem-bers had to deal with bolder of various size, logs and other debris. Members had to clear debris in order to get to the truck can and were hand digging inside the cab,” HSAR said in a release.
On Thursday a mini-excavator was airlifted in to remove larger size debris and dig around the cab. The coroner was called in and the 61-year-old truck driver was removed from the area and brought off Nickel Mine Rd. On Friday and Saturday Kent
Harrison SAR joined the call.Hope RCMP with the assis-
tance of the Lower Mainland District Police Dog Service and HSARS united, faced an exces-sive amount of debris on the site where the man was located.
“The amount of debris in the area is considerable and safety of the searchers is a predominant concern,” said Staff Sergeant Karol Rehdner.
“I cannot thank the mem-bers of Hope Search & Rescue enough for their dedication efforts with this search,” said Rehdner. “Hope RCMP are in contact with the family of the missing man and providing all the support that we can.”
Child poverty called a ‘crisis’An annual child pov-
erty report card is once again criticizing B.C.’s high child poverty rate and lack of a compre-hensive plan to address it.
The report from the First Call B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition found 20.4 per cent of children in B.C. lives in poverty, higher than the Canadian aver-
age of 19 per cent. That’s down margin-
ally from a year earlier but advocates say it’s far too high.
“The data in this report is evidence of a continuing child pov-erty crisis that reaches into every corner of the province,” said the coali-tion’s Cheryl Mixon.
Just over half of those children – 85,450 – live
in Metro Vancouver, and many are the kids of single moms.
“Poverty robs chil-dren of their potential,” said Michael McKnight, CEO of the United Way of the Lower Mainland. “It not only raises social costs, it threatens our future prosperity. We need a concerted effort from all levels of gov-ernment to bring the
poverty rate down for families with children.”
Policy recommen-dations in the report include adopting a s $10-a-day subsidized child care plan, increas-ing and indexing the minimum wage and wel-fare rates, expanding EI benefits and eligibility, and increasing afford-able housing options for families.

Currently, in Canada, the maximum
daily dose of acetaminophen is
set at 4000mg. However, Health
Canada may change this to a
lower maximum dose due to the
potential of liver injury caused by
taking too much of the drug. There
are 475 preparations containing
acetaminophen in Canada and
most are sold without a prescription.
So it would be easy to get over the
current limit.
If you have ever had a colonoscopy,
you’ll have had to suffer through the
bowel-cleansing routine of fasting
and drinking 4 litres of a solution to
clean you out. Not much fun! In
the U.S., work is being done on an
edible bowel cleansing product in
which the laxative is incorporated
into foods like puddings, pasta
salad and smoothies…..a great
improvement on the current
method.
It’s well-known that the omega-3
fatty acids found in salmon are good
for our heart. It’s recommended we
have two servings (3.5 oz) twice a
week. Canned salmon is as good
as the fresh sh to satisfy this
advice. It’s low in mercury content,
a contaminant found in some sh.
If you have celiac’s disease (about
1 in 133 Canadians have) and are

New incinerator rules opposed by FVRDJeff NagelBlack Press
The B.C. government is poised to approve new standards for how Metro Vancouver’s garbage incinerator must operate and report its emissions.
And the Fraser Valley Regional District is objecting, saying the revised rules will not be tough enough.
“The provisions are far from world-leading,” said Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, chair of the FVRD board, add-ing her regional district’s concerns have been “underestimated, brushed off and not answered” by both Metro and the provincial environment ministry.
After a two-year process, the province has unveiled a draft new operational cer-tificate for the existing WTE plant and it’s gone through a final 30-day public com-ment period.
The FVRD has responded with a long list of deficiencies.
Valley politicians have long fought both the existing waste-to-energy plant in Burnaby as well as Metro’s strategy to build a new one as it shifts away from landfilling garbage.
Gaetz maintains the existing plant poses a significant air pollution threat to the Fraser Valley and the province’s approach to updating its operating requirements sends a “concerning” signal of how it may go about approving a new Metro incinera-tor.
“If this is approved, I’d be incredulous,” she said.
Among the FVRD’s demands are that the WTE plant adopt continuous monitor-ing of air pollutants, instead of periodic testing, where results might appear clean-er if a different grade of garbage is burned on the test day.
They also want testing for a broader range of substances, and more study of the incinerator’s impacts on soil, water quality, vegetation and crops.
Gaetz said the new draft certificate would actually relax some of the exist-ing monitoring requirements – Metro’s plant would no longer have to test for substances like antimony, cobalt, copper and nickel.
The proposed certificate will require specific management plans to be drafted for fly ash and bottom ash, and for publish-ing monitoring data online, but the FVRD argues those should be in place before the renewal is approved, not months later.
And the FVRD wants the environment ministry to state whether and when it
would audit the plant, and clearly indicate what penalties will apply for non-compli-ance.
Cadmium has been found in the incin-erator’s bottom ash – it’s believed to come from batteries that get burned, despite attempts to get Metro residents to recycle them.
“We know that’s up in the air and people have been breathing it,” Gaetz said. “We know what cadmium does to people. We know what nickel does to people. We know that what’s coming out of the stack is harmful to human health.”
Instead of a new certificate that could effectively freeze monitoring require-ments for decades, Gaetz said, the FVRD would prefer a phase out of the plant, which burns 285,000 tonnes of waste per year.
“I have serious concerns with any incineration. It’s backwards, old-fashioned technology that has had its day and should be gone,” she said.
“If we had our wish, it would be shut down and Metro would have another plan in place to be able to deal with the garbage rather than burning it and putting it in a landfill in the sky.”
Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro’s zero waste committee, called the FVRD position “unfortunate.”
He said Metro has made major upgrades in the last couple of years to “dramatically”
reduce the emissions the waste-to-energy plant releases.
The latest $7 million retrofit cut nitro-gen oxide emissions by half. The plant now accounts for 0.4 per cent of the NOx emitted in the region, down from 0.8 per cent in 2014.
“We’ve been investing significant dol-lars bringing up the environmental perfor-mance of that facility,” Brodie said, adding Metro remains committed to continuous improvement.
“I believe the most environmentally friendly solution for our solid waste and the most cost-effective is waste-to-energy.”

Young people and single moth-ers are severely stretched to pay their rent in most of the Lower Mainland’s suburban communi-ties, according to a new study.
The updated Rental Housing Index, first released by the B.C. Non-Profit Housing Association a year ago, now provides a more detailed look at different demo-graphic groups of renters, based on 2011 census data.
In the Fraser Valley, one third of single moms who rent pay more than half of their income on rent and utilities. That climbs to 36 per cent in Surrey and 47 per cent in Coquitlam.
BCNPHA CEO Tony Roy says that demonstrates an affordability “crisis” when more than half of income goes to paying the rent, raising the risk of homelessness.
“They are clearly the demo-graphic group that is the most challenged with affordability,” Roy said of single moms. “It’s worst in Coquitlam, but it’s also extreme-ly challenged in Maple Ridge, Langley and in Surrey.”
Roy said the revised index also shows immigrant households are
twice as likely to be in overcrowd-ed rental accommodations as the general population, although that may in part reflect a preference for intergenerational living.
In Surrey, the index shows a quarter of young people renting are spending more than half their income on rent.
“You’re probably not left with very much,” Roy said.
“I think this is why, particularly for young parents, the incidence of food bank use is just skyrocket-ing. Because people are spending all their money to keep a roof over their heads.”
In Surrey, construction workers are the top renter group by occu-pation, which Roy said may come as a surprise.
“I think there’s a perception that when we talk about renters, we’re talking about young people, maybe retail workers, maybe peo-ple working at Starbucks.”
Abbotsford, meanwhile, may
have lower rents – the average cost there is $866 a month – but incomes are also lower.
That’s among the factors that result in Abbotsford ranking 502 out of 521 cities in the country on the rental housing index.
“Clearly there’s a rental hous-ing affordability challenge in Abbotsford,” he said.
The worst ranking city in Canada is Burnaby at number 521 in the index, and Surrey, Vancouver, Richmond, New Westminster and Coquitlam are all barely above it in the bottom 10 nationally.
Roy said Canada essentially cut off federal support for social hous-ing about 20 years ago and the communities
that have been growing fastest since then – Surrey, Coquitlam and others in the Fraser Valley – have grappled with the worst shortfall of purpose-built rentals as a result.
“These communities have grown up over the last 20 years without a federal partner,” he said.
“We need all levels of govern-ment to step up to the plate.” added LandlordBC CEO David Hutniak. “We need tax incentives for the building of new purpose-built rental and for the renovation and enhancement of aging exist-ing rental stock to offset high land and construction costs.”

Rent ‘crisis’ hits single moms hard: studyMore details released on housing affordability
“They are clearly the demographic group that is the most challenged with
affordability”BCNPHA CEO Tony Roy
The latest change to B.C. liquor policy loos-ens the rules for restau-rant goers who just want to order a drink, without food.
They’re now allowed to sit anywhere in the restaurant instead of being relegated to a sepa-rate lounge area or feel-ing pressured to order food.
That’s expected to provide some more flex-ibility to restaurants that no longer need to have defined lounge areas.
“This is a small change that will make a big impact,” said Ian Tostenson, president of the BC Restaurant and Foodservice Association. “The restaurant can open up more physical space that can be used to seat customers who are din-ing or enjoying a cock-tail.”
The rules for music and comedy perfor-mances are also relaxed. Restaurants no longer have to apply for a permit to host entertainment, as long as patrons aren’t participating in the show.

NewsFeds slow pace of Syrian refugee rescueJeff NagelBlack Press
The federal Liberal govern-ment has retreated from its cam-paign promise to resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, announcing Tuesday it has pushed that target back two months.
The aim now is to have 10,000 of the refugees in Canada by the end of December, with the rest arriving in January and February.
“Yes, we want to bring them fast, but we also want to do it right,” Immigration Minister John McCallum said, adding that was the clear message he heard from Canadians.
“There are a lot of moving parts here. So we are happy to take a little more time because that allows us to be more pre-pared.”
McCallum said it’s important not just to welcome incoming Syrian refugees “with a smile” but to also equip them properly.
“We want them to have a roof over their heads, we want them
to have the right support for lan-guage training and all the other things that they need to begin their new life here in Canada.”
All refugees will be processed overseas and undergo biometric data collection, detailed inter-views and rigorous screening checks against multiple securi-ty databases, said Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale.
Any concern, discomfort or doubt will prompt screeners to move on to candidates without red flags, he said.
Women, children and families are to get priority ahead of sin-gle men, unless they identify as LGBT or are part of a family unit.
The government isn’t setting any religious preference.
“We choose the most vulnera-ble whatever their religion might be,” McCallum said.
He predicted Syrians coming to Canada will include significant numbers of Christians living in Lebanon or Jordan but outside refugee camps, acknowledging concerns that Christians avoid the camps.
The refugees will arrive mainly via commercial flights, but mili-tary planes are also on standby if needed.
They’ll initially land in Toronto or Montreal before going to vari-ous cities across the country.
Up to 3,500 of the Syrian refu-gees are expected to come to B.C., with many of them settling in Metro Vancouver.
“If they are transferred to Vancouver, they could end up in Surrey,” McCallum said.
He added Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps is “very keen to receive refugees, not just for Victoria but for other places on Vancouver Island.”
McCallum said his vision is to distribute refugees relatively evenly across the country, if pos-sible.
Although the government won’t have control over where refugees ultimately stay, it will avoid sending one family by itself to a community, instead dispatching them in clusters of perhaps 10 if there are no existing family links.
“So they will have some people in their own community as they go to this new place,” McCallum explained.
He said “many” privately sponsored Syrian refugees could also come to Canada in 2016 over and above the federal target of 25,000 primarily government-sponsored refugees.
“I would not be surprised if that number was large,” he said, crediting tremendous interest by Canadians to help.
B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Tuesday the costs to B.C. of refugee resettlement are primarily a federal responsibil-ity, but the province has added $1 million to the $4 million it spends annually to support the federal immigrant resettlement program. He also expects sig-nificant costs to the B.C. school system.
“There are going to be, we’re told, a lot of children,” de Jong said. “A lot of traumatized chil-dren.”

Pipeline firm wins latest court battleJeff NagelBlack Press
The City of Burnaby plans to file an appeal after losing a battle in B.C. Supreme Court to block the expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline through the city.
Justice George Mackintosh ruled the federal authority of the National Energy Board allowing engineering studies for the pipeline route overrides the local bylaws Burnaby tried to use to block the project.
“It would be unwork-able to take away from the NEB the power to order the engineering feasibil-ity work by giving to a provincial entity a veto power over whether and how such work could take place,” Mackintosh stated in his decision, adding that otherwise “virtually no pipeline could ever be built.”
He said the work by Trans Mountain pipeline survey crews in late 2014 was vitally important for locating the pipeline
safely.More than 100 people
were arrested on Burnaby Mountain while the work was underway. Civil con-tempt of court charges against many activists were later thrown out because the company had used inaccurate coordi-nates of the area covered by an injunction.
Mackintosh also ruled Burnaby must pay Trans Mountain’s legal costs. How big that bill is has not yet been disclosed.
“Obviously it’s expen-sive,” Burnaby Mayor
Derek Corrigan said, add-ing it will be paid out of the city’s casino revenue, not from property taxes. “There’s not much in this word that’s worth fighting for that doesn’t have a cost attached to it.”
He said an appeal to a higher court was all but certain regardless of the outcome.
The Supreme Court case came after the City of Burnaby failed to gain an injunction against Kinder Morgan’s activities on Burnaby Mountain before work concluded.
Trans Mountain offi-cials have dismissed past speculation that they might reroute the pipeline in the Lower Mainland to a new marine terminal, possibly in Delta, to avoid opposition in Burnaby and the need to send more tankers through Vancouver harbour.
Corrigan repeated his call for the company to consider an alternate terminal, noting Cherry Point in Washington State is a fully equipped oil terminal that is already linked by a spur pipeline to Trans Mountain.
“Kinder Morgan has never looked at any other proposals,” he said. “They made their mind up they were going to use their existing facilities in Burnaby. There was no holistic look at the best way to move this oil to the coast.”
Corrigan also said he hopes a less “high hand-ed” approach from the new Liberal government in Ottawa could yield a political solution.

The fall session of the B.C. legislature petered out two days early last week, as the ruling B.C. Liberals and the opposi-tion NDP agreed to turn out the energy-efficient lights and head for home.
NDP leader John Horgan skipped the last day and headed to the B.C. Institute of Technology campus in Burnaby. There he announced “PowerBC,” billed as the NDP’s “bold, progressive plan for the future of B.C. energy, with a strong focus on jobs.”
Reporters asked, how many jobs? Horgan said retrofitting public buildings and homes for energy efficiency would create jobs all around the province, but he can’t say how many.
How much does the plan cost, and does it include subsidiz-ing homeowners to fix their windows and insulation? “The costing will be more apparent when we get closer to the elec-tion,” Horgan replied.
Whatever the cost, the NDP plan apparently rests on the assumption that the $9 billion Site C dam project on the Peace River can be stopped by an NDP government after the 2017 election. That money would be used to build wind and solar
generation, and to install a sixth and final water turbine at Revelstoke dam.
The chances of Site C being stopped are approaching zero. Construction of an access road started two months ago, site clearing and work camp construction a month before that. Energy Minister Bill Bennett says the main dam construc-tion contract will be let shortly, followed by the powerhouse contract next year.
Horgan said remaining legal challenges could slow or stop the project.
The West Moberly and Prophet River First Nations have lost their case against Site C twice, in the B.C. Supreme and Federal Courts, and are appealing. The Doig River and McLeod Lake Indian Bands dropped their challenges, and McLeod Lake’s con-struction company has started work on a Site C contract.
West Moberly Chief Roland Willson staged a dramatic protest at the legislature last spring, bringing a cooler of frozen bull trout from a river below the two existing Peace dams, telling media they were too contaminated with mercury to eat.
Flooding land for hydro dams does elevate methylmercury levels in water, but BC Hydro provided me with the latest study that included fish samples collected by West Moberly members. It shows average methylmercury levels remain below federal guidelines for limiting consumption of commercially sold fish.
It’s an odd coincidence that Willson suddenly made this claim, 47 years after the first Peace dam was completed, when he happened to be in court trying to stop Site C.
A coalition of U.S. and Canadian environment groups is also demanding that Site C be stopped, using typical arguments to appeal to their low-information donor base. According to the Sierra Club and others, Site C is not renewable energy because the (largely idle) farmland it floods is a “carbon sink.” Forests do store carbon, albeit temporarily, but farmland where the trees have been cleared?
This is gluten-free gobbledegook.They also trot out the claim that Site C will be used to
power liquefied natural gas operations. Most proponents so far have said they will use gas for LNG processing, and if they don’t have hydro available for ancillary power, they will have to burn more gas.
BC Hydro has just finished its latest grid upgrade, a second high-voltage transmission line from Merritt to Coquitlam. It adds disaster reliability to the system that brings power from the Peace and Columbia dams to the Lower Mainland.
If you’re arguing that hydroelectricity isn’t renewable power, you’ve already lost.

Last Friday’s horrific terrorist attack in Paris was a frightening realization of the sweep of ISIL fanatics and their ability to coordinate and carry out multiple attacks. With brutal savagery they chose soft targets – young people enjoying a meal, down time with friends, or a concert. By the end of the night, 129 lay dead, over 350 were injured, many critically, and President Francois Hollande declared that “France is at war’ with terrorism.
Washington is already expecting France to retaliate with a stepped up role in the U.S.-led coalition’s bombing campaign against the Islamic State.
The Paris tragedy threw a sharper spotlight on two of PM Justin Trudeau’s election campaign promises – to cancel our CF-18 participation in the bombing raids against ISIL and to bring 25,000 refugees to Canada by the end of the year.
Should he stick to the campaign script or heed what some are calling for – keep the CF-18 Hornets in the skies and slow down the refugee intake pending the time it could take for full security screening?
Trudeau hasn’t called for a change of plans as yet. No telling yet when the fighter jets will return home. But right now those six jets are punching above their weight.
On Tuesday, under Operation IMPACT, two fighter jets successfully struck three Islamic State fighting positions near Ramadi, Iraq, with precision-guided munitions, the Department of National Defence said.
As of November 16, CF-18’s have conducted 1,121 sorties. This week’s air-strikes were the second round involving Canadian jets since last Friday’s attacks in Paris. Despite the fact the aging jets are small in number, their contribution going forward is significant and should continue.
In addition, Canada has contributed two Aurora surveillance planes and about 600 Canadian Armed Forces personnel to the coalition. According to the DND website, Op IMPACT has helped our allies see ISIL lose its ability to operate freely in 25 to 30 per cent of populated areas of Iraq that it previously controlled.
Trudeau has also, rightly, committed to increasing the number of Special Forces troops training Kurds to fight ISIL in northern Iraq. In training the Kurdish forces, our troops have a mandate to advance to front lines and into battle.
The humanitarian commitment includes bringing 25,000 refugees to Canada within the next six weeks. That’s a tall order and anyone would understand the government moving its self-imposed deadline into 2016.
On Monday, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall asked Trudeau to sus-pend his plan, arguing that if a small number of individuals who want to do harm slip in under cover of a rushed refugee resettlement process, it could be disastrous. But terrorists posing as refugees are a long shot, given intense screening and time delays.
The track record of refugee threats in North America is thin. The Economist last month reported that out of 745,000 refugees who resettled in the U.S. since 9/11, only two Iraqis have been arrested on terrorism charges. Black Press

Re: Chamber Annual General Meeting
Letters
In 1990 I moved to Hope to operate the two Chevron Town Pantries and became a member of the Hope & District Chamber of Commerce.
I had the privilege of first becoming a Director on the Chamber Board and then served two years as President and one year as past President.
I have always believed in the mandate of the Chamber and have been a strong supporter for 25 years.
After much consideration, I will not be renewing my membership due to the following occurrences stemming from last week's Chamber Annual General Meeting as reported to me by my manager who represented my company: Apparent disregard for Chamber Bylaws and Constitution; Board Elections not following Chamber protocol; Lack of a regular Annual Financial Report conducted by Chamber's Accountant and/or Treasurer; Membership Dues not collected consistently and in a timely manner.
There is concern regarding the integrity of the Chamber medical coverage program which my company subscribes to and which may be in jeopardy due to lack of protocols and Bylaws currently not being followed, and declining
membership.Beyond that, there are issues with the Chamber not collaborating with
District of Hope initiatives, such as the OCP and Advantage Hope's tourism strategies.
Tourism has a major impact on my business and 20 staff and requires ongo-ing partnership between community organizations focused on local economic growth.
At this time, I have joined the Harrison Chamber of Commerce as it is more representative of my business goals and the goals of the community, a much more holistic view of supporting local business.
I will rejoin the Hope Chamber when it returns to its mandate and abides by it's constitution and bylaws.

Meaning of ‘conservation’ lost
Once again Tom Fletcher ends his editorial Nov. 12, 2015 on a combative note.
Mr. Fletcher praises the acknowledgement of Conservation Officers recognized for saving the lives of people and denounces people who stand up for the saving of the environment and wildlife.
The Conservation Officer who spared the lives of two infant bears was demoted to desk duty and will probably never receive an award for his brave deed in conserving wildlife.
How did the meaning of the word 'conservation' get so twisted?
Elsie O'Keeffe
In reference to Tom Fletcher's article regarding the Paris Accord and carbon pricing. Though the gov-ernments of the day state they are reluctant to carbon pricing. Their argument being that the current system of carbon tax, and an alternate system of cap and trade, directly taxes and deters future investment by large car-bon producing corporations.
Regardless, it seems they can't help themselves to another source of taxation to help balance their bud-gets. Even though these two systems don't really deter corporations from contributing to climate change. In fact, all these systems do is pass on the extra costs to consumers, with no real incentive to change habit, other than through less consumption, limiting growth in the economy, by taking money out of the pockets of
consumers, and putting it into Federal and Provincial Government coffers.
I find it ironic that none of the current Federal or Provincial Governments haven't caught on to the pro-posed system of the Federal Green Party's proposed system of Fee and Dividend.
Under the Fee and Dividend system, all carbon pro-ducers would pay, as they do now, for carbon produced. The difference being that this fee(taxation) would be returned right back to the constituents as a refundable tax credit.
So those who use little or no carbon producing product, would be rewarded from those who use or produce the most. Contrary to the other methods of carbon pricing, the stimulus would go right back into
the economy, stimulating growth in the non carbon producing sector.
Eventually, the lower carbon producing sectors would out pace the higher producing sectors. This would allow for economic stimulus, and depreciating carbon production at the same time.
Why I find all this ironic is the fact that the three major Party's have stolen every good idea found in the Green Party's playbook called, Vision Green. That is every idea, that doesn't deter from their standardized idea's of taxing the constituents, but letting their corpo-rate colleges of the hook, for fear of losing their lobbied support.

Christy Clark, what are you doing? On Nov. 11 the liquor stores were open while school staff got a paid day off. Are liquor store employees 2nd class citizens?
This country was made great long before you were even thought of.
My dad was in WWI and WWII. He was a sniper in the first world war and a Ft. Lt in the second. At the Ottawa service 35,000 showed
up for the 11th, most were paid and Ontario has a lady premier.
Get real our illustrious leader. My family has 30 voters and we all voted for you to do a good job. Get your head straightened out, please. You privatized liquor stores with a promise to close down government stores. Didn't happen. Now they are open seven days a week.
I was always lead to believe that Liberals were for small business, which are 90 per cent of your tax payers. Nov. 11 should be the number 1 stat, 125,000 Canadians died for us. Labour day should be the number 2 stat as workers made this country.

As a whole, Canadians are a compassionate, caring and accepting people. We help those in need at home and around the world. That is why the issue of how quickly and how many Syrian refugees we should bring here has gripped the national media narrative for the last num-ber of weeks.
In the heat of an intense elec-tion campaign, Justin Trudeau promised that he would bring 25,000 Syrian refugees to Canada by the end of the year. At the time, his pledge was just one of many made during the campaign, and both Election Day and the end of the year were still months away. With the Liberal govern-ment now in power and New Year’s Day fast approaching, more and more questions were being asked on how they could pos-sibly process a full year’s worth of refugee claimants in less than 40 days, what the cost of such an operation would be, and how they could do it without compro-mising the safety and security of Canadians.
It is the role of the Government of Canada and its Cabinet to make policy decisions like this. It is their job to deter-mine if and how it can be done and, if they want Canadians to support their decision, they need to do it openly and transparently. Legitimate questions require thoughtful responses when secu-rity issues are on the line.
It is the role of the Official Opposition to raise questions and to hold the government to account on this and any other policy decisions the govern-ment takes. We support bring-ing additional Syrian refugees to Canada, but we believe they should go through the same security screening as any other refugee claimants, and that this should be done before they arrive in Canada. The reasoning behind this position is that once these individuals arrive here, even if they are found later to be crimi-nally inadmissible, they cannot be deported back to a refugee camp in Jordan, Lebanon or Turkey, nor can they be removed and sent back to Syria. Once they land here, no matter what is dis-covered about them afterwards, they are staying here.
The Official Opposition believes that there is no need to rush this process in order to meet an artificial, arbitrary deadline contained only in a Liberal campaign promise. I am glad that, after weeks of resis-tance, the Liberal government has now agreed with the Official Opposition and will be slowing down their plan. We will remain vigilant to ensure that due pro-cess is followed in the days and weeks ahead.
Governments must select and screen applicants and help get them here. That’s their job. Opposition parties should ask
questions to ensure that the pro-cess undertaken is safe, secure, effective and efficient, which is what we’re doing.
I am encouraged to see that civil society, including faith groups, other organizations and individuals in Chilliwack and Hope are also choosing to play a role and have stepped forward and indicated a willingness to welcome and provide care for ref-ugees once they arrive in Canada. Caring Canadians in our com-munities right across the country will play a key role in ensuring that the next and very important stage of refugee resettlement and integration is effectively carried out. Government departments and bureaucrats in Victoria and Ottawa cannot integrate indi-viduals into local communities as seamlessly or effectively as local organizations can.
A number of years ago, my wife Lisa and I were fortunate to be part of a church that helped resettle refugee families from war-torn Sierra Leone. We saw how the congregation essentially adopted them into their own extended families, how basic needs were met, and how the lives of both the refugees and their Canadian sponsors were changed forever for the better.
If we all play our respective roles in addressing this Syrian refugee crisis, Canada too will be the better for it.

As part of the Purlple Lights cam-paign which shines a light on domestic violence each year, organizers asked childrend in the community to draw their picture of what a happy family looks like.
A draw was held and a number of pic-tures were randomly selected by Jodi (Read Right Society) and Christine (of Coopers Foods) to receive prize pack-ages.

Bon Graham-Krulicki's art exhibit draws from the ancient language and culture of her ancestors, as well as the fierce power of nature.
Her new show, It Speaks to Me, opens Nov. 26 in the art gallery of the Cultural Centre, with artist's reception on Nov. 28 starting at 1 p.m.
"It all started with the words in 2007," she said.
Graham-Krulicki spent a couple of years designing a special font, in part to help stave off extinction of the traditional language. The font echoes the Coast Salish style artis-tically and she created art prints and paint-ings based on the Halkomelem words she chose to highlight.
"Something told me to stay on my path with the language project and I saw it through."
She worked closely with respected elders and fluent speakers for guidance, and her work was exhibited during Vancouver/Whistler 2010 Winter Olympics. She's also been working in the local schools with children to share the Halkomelem language through video and art projects where they create a unique painting on canvas which stays behind at each school.
A graphic artist for more than 25 years, she earned recognition as a Dreamcatchers Charitable Foundation Big Idea finalist. Her work can be spotted in Chilliwack at the Stó:lõ Resource Centre, Chilliwack General Hospital, and more.
There's a strong focus on nature in this show. A centre display case will contain Fraser River rocks, Harrison Lake drift-wood, a tree from Hope, some maple leaves and cedar branches, along with some family artifacts.
"Nature is a strong thread that runs through almost all of it," she noted, from the blood moon, to the feathers, trees, and totems.
Most of her work is acrylics on canvas and the show will include more than 50 pieces. Some have textured elements like cedar tree branches, and some, like the tradi-
tional Coast Salish designs were printed directly on log slices.
Born in Hope, the art-ist is a member of the Snuneymuxw First Nation of Nanaimo, where her mother Ellen (Prest) Graham and grandmother Lavina (Wyse) Prest were born.
A descendant of the Wyse family, Graham-Krulicki signs her work 'b. wyse' as a nod to family history.
Her Stó:lõ roots date back to the late 1800s, and her great-grandmother was (Tata) Mary (Benn) Prest, wife of William Prest, from the Skwah First Nation.
Graham-Krulicki is now working as a member of the Sto:lo Tourism rede-velopment team, operating and reinvigorating the Sto:lo Gift Shop on the Coqualeetza site, and showcasing the work of emerging and established aborigi-nal artisans.
She's been winnowing down her choices of what to include in the show for more than a year. There will be several new works, and one of her favourite pieces is called Yellow Girl.
"There was just something about the beauty of her face as she came to light," she said. "She represents youth and our hopes for the future."
The show's title, It Speaks to Me, was inspired by the poem My Heart Soars, by Chief Dan George.
"When it came to naming my show, I thought it was fitting," she said.
"I wanted it to have cultural significance but with a modern twist."
Chief Dan George wrote: "The beauty of the trees, the softness of the air, the fra-grance of the grass, speaks to me.
"The summit of the mountain, the thunder of the sky, the rhythm of the sea, speaks to me.
"The strength of the fire, the taste of salmon, the trail of the sun, and the life that never goes away, they speak to me. And my heart soars."
From the pride of a powwow dancer, or salmon warrior, to the woven basket and Halkomelem inspired words and phrases, she felt strongly about sharing some cultural elements that lit her fire.
"It became about how to get this into people's hands."
When a cedar basket came back to the Skwah First Nation from someone who owned it for decades, she had to draw one of the baskets.
"It was a great story to hear how it came back to the community, after all these years, and links directly to my Sto:lo lineage."
It Speaks To Me is Nov. 26 to Jan. 2 in the O'Connor Group Art Gallery at the Cultural Centre, 9201 Corbould St. from 12 noon until 5 p.m.
Wednesdays through Saturdays. Also 6:30p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on show nights. Artist's Reception is Saturday, Nov. 28, 1 p.m. to 3 p.m

The University of the Fraser Valley athletic department is proud to announce that seven athletes have earned Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) Academic All-Canadian honours for 2014-15.
Student-athletes must achieve an average of 80 per cent or higher in their classes, while competing in a CIS varsity sport, to qualify for the award.
Cascades who achieved that benchmark were women’s basketball players Sarah Wierks (Chilliwack, B.C., 4.00 grade point average) and Danielle Vanbergen (Courtenay, B.C., 3.98 GPA); men’s basketball players Jasper Moedt (Abbotsford, B.C., 3.95 GPA) and Vijay Dhillon (Richmond, B.C., 3.66 GPA); women’s soc-cer players Kara Delwo (Abbotsford, B.C., 3.75 GPA) and Dayle Jeras (Langley, B.C., 3.55 GPA); and Kree Byrne (Abbotsford, B.C., 3.76 GPA) of the men’s soccer team.
“I am always excited when I see how many of our athletes are excelling in the classroom as well as in their sport,” said Steve Tuckwood, UFV’s director of athletics and campus recreation. “The combination of academic and athletics success will prepare them well for the years beyond gradu-ation and make them highly sought after from potential employers. Congratulations to all of them on this wonderful accomplishment.”
Wierks was singled out for an additional honour earlier this fall – she was named a CIS Top Eight Academic
All-Canadian, which is the national body’s most prestigious academic award. One male and one female Academic All-Canadian from each of the four regional asso-ciations are selected, and Wierks was the Canada
West female represen-tative. The Top Eight were recognized by the Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, at a ceremony at Rideau Hall in Ottawa last week.
The Cascades’ success
in the classroom doesn’t end with the high-achieving Academic All-Canadians. Forty-four athletes achieved at least a 3.0 GPA in 2014-15, representing 30 per cent of the varsity athlete stu-dent body.

SportsSkaters shine in Jingle Blades competition
Barry StewartHope Standard
Nine local figure skat-ers attended the annual Jingle Blades competi-tion in Aldergrove last week, coming back with some outstanding results and useful tips from the judges.
“This was the most skaters we’ve had at a com-petition in many years,” said skating pro Michelle Inancsi, Monday. “We usually have four or five — but this year, more kids were ready and the competition was nice and close.”
The event was for skat-ers in the Learn-to-Train program, from Star 1 to Star 5.
The two most senior skaters, Sarah Isbister and Taylor Green skipped the Star 3 level, to take on Star 4.
“It was a big jump for them,” said Inancsi, “a big learning curve.
“They had a two-min-ute program that had to have an axel jump, which has one-and-a-half rota-tions in the air — and they had to do another axel in combination with a toe loop.
“They represented themselves well,” said Inancsi, “and they got useful feedback from the judges in their assess-ments, which we can use for the next competition.”
Four Hope girls com-peted at the Star 1 level, which began with an evaluation of skills in iso-lation. This was followed by a half minute of free skating to a provided music track, where judges were looking for creative expression, said Inancsi.
“On the elements in isolation, the girls had to do a waltz jump, a Salchow jump, a toe loop jump, forward and back-ward one-foot spins, spi-rals, and cross-overs in a circle.
“Rebecca Druet got a gold medal and Emma Miller, Claire Medlock and Hannah Hambly got silver,” said the coach. “It
was Hannah’s first-ever evaluation.”
Club president and Rebecca’s mom, Lindsay Druet said, “Rebecca had bronze last time and was aiming for silver. She was very surprised with the gold and she said it felt good.”
The Star 2 level had no test of elements in isolation but those ear-lier skills and more were included in a free skate of one-and-a-half to two
minutes long, using music supplied by the skaters.
With the storm-caused power outages last week, the girls’ skating sched-ules had been thrown out of balance, so Brianna Pennell, Olivia Morgan, Caitlin Brown and Taylor Green headed to the Hope Arena for a lunch time skate on Thursday, said Morgan’s mom, Barb Martinson.
“My mum and dad, Bill and Gerda Warren, live in
Sechelt,” said Martinson. “My dad has always fol-lowed figure skating and has attended two of the three competitions Olivia has skated in.
“Although I warned them about the condi-tions after the storm, they still wanted to come. Our power in Othello was out until Thursday afternoon, just before we had to leave for Aldergrove — but it turned out great because my parents arrived
Wednesday evening and stayed in a motel, where Libby could shower and prepare for the competi-tion.”
The Star 2 event had many flights of skaters and the Hope girls were in the final skate of the night. They wouldn’t know their scores until their group was finished and were gathered in the presentation room.
Pennell skated first of the Hope girls and
earned a silver, followed by Brown, who earned bronze.
Morgan was the sec-ond-last skater of the night. Her teammates had skated cleanly, her coach was by the sideboards, her mom and grandparents were in the stands… and the focus was all on her.
It would be the perfect time for nerves to get the better of Morgan.
Would they?“She’s a humble
girl — but when push comes to shove, she’s very determined and she pulls through,” said Mom.
Pull through, she did, winning a second gold for the Hope team.
“She’s the first Hope skater to get a gold evaluation at the Star 2 level,” said Inancsi, who has coached in Hope for about 15 years. “We were all so happy for her.”
Hope figure skater Caitlin Brown begins her routine in the Star 2 division at the Jingle Blades skating competition in Aldergrove last Thursday. Brown received a Bronze medal for her performance. Nine girls attended the competition, the highest number of local participants at a judged event in many years.

2 Tbsp dried parsley2 Tbsp ground dried rosemary2 Tbsp rubbed dried sage2 Tbsp dried thyme leaves1 Tbsp lemon pepper1 Tbsp salt1 15 lb whole turkey
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a turkey roaster with long sheets of aluminum foil that will be long enough to wrap over the turkey.Stir together the parsley, rosemary, sage, thyme, lemon pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Rub the herb mixture into the cavity of the turkey, then stuff with the celery, orange, onion, and carrot. Truss if desired, and place the turkey into the roasting pan. Pour the chicken broth and champagne over the turkey, making sure to get some champagne in the cavity. Bring the aluminum foil over the top of the turkey, and seal. Try to keep the foil from touching the skin of the turkey breast or legs.3. Bake the turkey in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear. Uncover the turkey, and continue baking until the skin turns golden brown, 30 minutes to 1 hour longer. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should real 180 degrees F.

It Came Upon the
Midnight Clear
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth,
To touch their harps of gold:
“Peace on the earth, good will to men
from heaven’s all gracious King.”
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still thru the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurled;
And still their heav’nly music floats
O’er all the weary world.
Above it’s sad and lowly plains
They bend on hov’ring wing,
And ever o’er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.
For lo! the days are hast’ning on,
By prophets seen of old,
When with the ever circling years
Shall come the time fore told.
When the new heav’n and earth shall own
The Prince of Peace their King,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.
Laurie, co-owner of Hope Auto Body, used this recipe for last year’s dinner and found it to be delicious!!!!!

carolsFrosty the snowman was a jolly happy soul,With a corncob pipe and a button nose and two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale, they say, he was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found. For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.
O, Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be, and the children say he could laugh & play just the same as you & me.Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,Look at Frosty go.Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,Over the hills of snow.Frosty the snowman knew
the sun was hot that day,So he said, “Let’s run andwe’ll have some funnow before I melt away.”Down to the village,with a broomstick in his hand,running here and there allaround the square saying,“catch me if you can”He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop.And he only paused a moment when he heard him holler “Stop!”
For Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way,but he waved goodbye saying,“Don’t you cry,I’ll be back again some day.”Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,Look at Frosty go.Thumpetty thump thump,thumpety thump thump,Over the hills of snow.

Merry Christmas from all of us!
Away in a Manger
Away in a manger, no crib for his
bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his
sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky looked
down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus
asleep on the hay.
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.
I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down
from the sky, and stay by my side until
morning is nigh.
White ChristmasI’m dreaming of a white ChristmasJust like the ones I used to know,Where the tree tops glisten, and children listenTo hear sleighbells in the snow.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas,With every Christmas card I writeMay your days be merry and bright,And may all your Christmases be white.

Joy to the World
Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
and heaven and nature sing,

Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
while fields and floods,

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth & grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders of His love,

Winter Wonderland Sleigh bells ring, are you listening,in the lane, snow is glisteningA beautiful sight,we’re happy tonight,walking in a winter wonderland.
Gone away is the bluebird,here to stay is a new birdHe sings a love song,as we go along,walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadowwe can build a snowman,Then pretend that he is Parson BrownHe’ll say: “Are you married?”we’ll say: “No man,but you can do the jobwhen you’re in town.”Later on, we’ll conspire,as we dream by the fireTo face unafraid,the plans that we’ve made,walking in a winter wonderland.
In the meadow we can build a snowman,and pretend that he’s a circus clownWe’ll have lots of fun with mister snowman,until the other kids knock him down.
When it snows, ain’t it thrilling,Though your nose gets a chillingWe’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way,walking in a winter wonderland.

Christ, by highest heav’n adored;Christ, the ever lasting Lord;Late in time behold Him come,Off spring of the virgin’s womb.Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see;Hail th’in carnate deityPlease, as man with man to dwell, Jesus our Immanuel!
Hark! The herald angels sing,“Glory to the newborn King!Hail! The heav’n born Prince of Peace!Hail! The Son of righteousness!Light and life to all He brings,Ris’n with healing in His wings.Mild He lays his glory by,Born that man no more may die;Born to raise the sons of earth,Born to give them second birth.Hark!
