structure is still in place, including equipment and water. Carolin Mine also has 10 kilometres of stable underground tunnels with no acid rock drainage. New Carolin Gold Corp. is currently examining potential mining plans to once again extract gold from the property. Downing said the company could choose to mine solely underground, operate underground with a small open pit at the surface, or utilize the entire area as an open pit. The ore would then be processed on site at the rebuilt mill to create a gold concentrate, which would either be sold or used to pour doré gold bars. New Carolin Gold Corp. plans on drilling this summer to confirm historical data as well as increase gold inventory. The company will also be conducting a preliminary economic assessment soon, followed by a comprehensive economic feasibility study to determine the cost of bringing the mine back into production. Meanwhile, Downing said a resource study has found 30,000 ounces of gold sitting in a permitted tailings pond on the property.

The Standard

A White Rock mining company is working towards reopening the Carolin Mine site. New Carolin Gold Corp. controls approximately 134 square kilometres in the Coquihalla Gold Belt, which is host to several past producing underground gold mines including Carolin, Emancipation, Pipestem, Ward, Aurum and numerous other gold prospects. Recent studies conducted by the company determined the property has the potential to host a multimillion ounce deposit. “With the gold price up, it makes it very attractive,” said president and chief executive officer Bruce Downing. “We already have an existing mine permit, which saves us a lot of time and money. In the world of mining today, that is a huge asset.” The Carolin Mine operated from 1981 to 1984, and closed at the end of 1984 due to poor gold recoveries, low grades due primarily to dilution and low gold prices. Ongoing logging of the property over the years has made all targeted development areas readily accessible. Thirty per cent of the previous mill infra-

Mining project benefits Hope From 1

Only 55 per cent of gold was recovered from ore during the 1980s when Carolin Mine was in operation. The remaining crushed rock was disposed of in the tailings pond. “We’ve done a preliminary economic assessment and we’re looking at re-processing the gold out of these tailings to give us a cash flow,” said Downing, noting the project will hopefully start in 2013. The property’s close proximity to Vancouver and readily available work force in Hope are also important factors in reopening the mine. Tyler Mattheis, executive director of AdvantageHOPE, said the positive impact to the community will continue to grow as the project develops. “Not only will well-paying jobs result from a resurgent local mining sector, but Bruce (Downing) has already demonstrated his commitment to local purchasing, positively effecting the local economy,” he said. “The success of the New Carolin Gold Corp. will be a success for Hope.”

Family Day set B.C.’s Family Day will take place on the second Monday in February, beginning in 2013. “Creating a Family Day in B.C. was an important priority for me. Today, my government is following through on that commitment,” said Premier Christy Clark on Monday. “Having our own unique day in B.C. creates distinctive opportunities for families and local businesses. British Columbians will be able to enjoy all kinds of local attractions with fewer lineups and less outof-town traffic.” The decision to select the second Monday in February comes after government consultation with the public and private sectors. Record numbers of British Columbians participated in online discussions by sharing their thoughts and registering their preference. The web poll gathered a total of 31,146 selections, along with 3,069 comments. The choice of the second Monday had 18,202 votes, while the third Monday received 9,436.

RCMP cruiser involved in crash Flood-Hope Road was closed for several hours

Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

A crash in the Richmond Hill area on Thursday shut down Flood-Hope Road in both directions for several hours. Staff Sgt. Suki Manj said a Hope RCMP officer was travelling eastbound at about noon when he noticed a driver speeding in the opposite direction. When he went to conduct a U-turn, his cruiser collided with a Ford pickup truck heading towards Silver Creek. www.hopestandard.com M a n j said the preliminary investigation indicated that the officer had his emergency lights on before turning around. “Our officer was doing active patrols in the Richmond Hill area due to recent complaints about speeding in the area,” said Manj. “If the officer is at fault, he’ll be dealt with just like anybody else. The positive is that no one was seriously injured.” The officer suffered a minor concussion and the pickup driver went home with a sore wrist. Fraser Valley Traffic Services was called in to investigate the crash.

Feds provide funding for summer jobs Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl has announced $316,174 in funding to create 67 summer jobs for area students. “The Canada Summer Jobs program helps prepare students for the work world by giving them valuable real life experience,” he said. “It is one way this government is helping create jobs and economic opportunities.”

Canada Summer Jobs is part of the government’s Youth Employment Strategy (YES). With annual funding of more than $300 million, YES helps youth, particularly those facing barriers to employment, obtain career information, develop employment skills, find jobs and stay employed. Economic Action Plan 2012 allocates an additional $50 million over two years to enhance YES. This funding will focus

on connecting young Canadians with jobs in fields that are in high demand. In addition, the federal government permanently increased the annual budget for Canada Summer Jobs by $10 million in 2011. “The experience gained by students today will make for a more productive workforce tomorrow and a more prosperous Canada for everyone,” said Strahl.

Celebrating Boston Bar May Day Hundreds of people turned out to celebrate the 85th annual Boston Bar May Day on Saturday. Residents enjoyed a bigger parade this year along with the crowning of the new May Queen, traditional May Pole dance, kids activities and live entertainment. “We were really pleased to have gorgeous weather for Saturday,” said event organizing committee member Patricia Davison. “A lot of former residents come back to enjoy the day. It’s an opportunity to thank members of the community who work really hard, not just for May Day but throughout the year. In a small town, you have a small pool of volunteers. It’s really important to recognize them.” About 20 volunteers started working in February to organize the event. Parade winners: Q Best decorated car/truck – Fraser Valley Regional Library car Lili Q Best decorated float – Tuckkwiowhum Village Q Best vintage car – Lorne Langner’s tractor Q Best equestrian – Shirley Crow Q Best marching group – RCMP Q Best decorated bike/quad – Joseph Thomas Q Best costume – Shirley Crow Q Best miscellaneous – Boothroyd Head Start Jimmy the clown shares a moment with three-year-old Alyssa during the Boston Bar May Day celebration in Memorial Park.

Opinion

More bad optics There has been much outrage over the RCMP decision to ship a Mountie who abused his position as head of a polygraph unit in Edmonton to B.C. Don Ray exposed himself, had sex with subordinates, and kept a well-stocked liquor cabinet in his crime lab. His punishment for all of this was to be demoted to sergeant from staff-sergeant, lose 10 days pay and come to B.C. From a public relations perspective, it was like spraying a wasp nest with insect repellent — in the middle of the day. The B.C. public is extremely cynical about the RCMP (as an organization) right now. This is the result of a number of incidents. The most notable ones are the widespread perception that some men within the RCMP systematically harass female members and civilian workers; the Tasering death of a confused man at the Vancouver Airport; a Mountie who left the scene of a fatal accident and fortified himself with vodka; and the shooting death of an unarmed prisoner at the Houston police detachment. Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens, who has taken over as the top Mountie in B.C., says things will change – but this transfer tells people that things aren’t changing. Coming on the heels of renewal of the RCMP contract in B.C. for a 20-year period, it’s too much for many. The vast majority of Mounties are upright, honest people whose devotion to the force’s goal “to serve and protect” is obvious, and appreciated. It would be hard to believe that most of them aren’t as disgusted with the decision in regard to Ray as the rest of us. It’s even harder to imagine that the RCMP brass who made the decision didn’t see the terrible public optics. – Black Press

Scenes from the B.C. farm trenches B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher With ongoing pipeline and oil tanker skirmishes, and a hot summer for mining and logging still to come, the green war in B.C. shows no signs of slowing down. Things are already hot in the Fraser Valley, where the federal government’s change to the definition of fish habitat has opened a new front on the farms. Farmers briefly got into the public discussion by hauling a couple of cute calves into downtown Vancouver and staging a television-friendly demo in front of the federal fisheries office. They have been saying for decades that imposing salmon stream regulations on drainage ditches around their fields is impractical.

Fraser Valley Conservative MPs Randy Kamp and Mark Strahl even had the nerve to meet with local mayors to hear their concerns about B.C.’s most productive farmland, without inviting self-appointed “activists.” Arrayed against them is an environmental lobby whose deep green wing was defined by Marvin Rosenau, a former provincial biologist who now teaches “fish, wildlife and recreation technology” at BCIT. “Mark Strahl is leading the charge of eco-fascists intent on making the last dime off the backs of the last remnants of an absolutely spectacular ecosystem,” Rosenau told the Chilliwack Progress. “A massive and productive floodplain of fish and aquatic values … has been drained, ditched, tiled and laserleveled for agricultural profit.” The same could be said for the broad fields of Richmond and Pitt Polder farms north of

issues, the federal government is imposing rules on provinces in the wake of avian flu and “mad cow” outbreaks. Canadian beef was banned in 30 countries after a single infected cow was identified in Alberta in 2003. B.C. Agriculture Minister Don McRae assures me this legislation will not result in reporters or environmental activists being thrown in jail for telling the public about sick animals. They and the farmers themselves can say all they want, once infections are confirmed and quarantines established. McRae and Paul Kitching, B.C.’s chief veterinarian, pleaded for the public to understand that any farm reporting system must rely on voluntary compliance by farmers. When the B.C. government took the advice of B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham and began releasing fish farm inspection data in 2010, the operators

stopped providing samples voluntarily. The fish farmers’ position was that you can have a co-operative system of farm inspections or one that’s imposed, but not both. Imposing inspections on land farms across B.C.’s vast area is even less practical. Former Alberta premier Ralph Klein famously observed that the next rancher to find a possible mad cow should have “shot, shoveled and shut up” rather than file a report and devastate the industry. Denham, the NDP and others appear to operate under an assumption that there should be sufficient government resources to sample and inspect every farm across B.C. for reportable contagious illnesses. This is similar to the fashionable notion that we should have enough park rangers to guard every cedar tree. Tom Fletcher is a legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press

Letters Country’s veterans need more services In response to recent media coverage regarding military suicides and the government’s proposed medical services cutbacks, the Royal Canadian Legion’s BC/Yukon Command is fighting fore public recognition of the importance of intervention for our military serving members suffering from mental trauma and PTSD. For years the Legion has been filling the gap where services for veterans are lacking. We know firsthand how hard it is for veterans and their families trying to cope with mental issues resulting from military service. There is no question that the federal government provides certain

levels of benefits and programs. However, these only go so far and the need is far greater than we are made to believe. The Legion is directly working with veterans to transition them back to health and back into the community. In the absence of a tailored, responsive, and comprehensive continuum of care for our returning military, the Legion in BC/ Yukon has been making a powerful, practical difference by offering one-of-a-kind programs with lifechanging impacts. Q Veterans Transition Program (with UBC) for veterans suffering post-traumatic stress Q Military Skills Conversion

Program (with BCIT) for veterans re-entering the marketplace Q Cockrell House for homeless veterans The Legion does not receive any government funding for these programs. These three programs are made possible by virtue of our ongoing fundraising. In 153 communities throughout British Columbia and Yukon, Legion volunteers contribute over 600,000 hours a year. More and more of those service hours are no focused on engaging the new generation of veterans and trying to help them transition back to their families. Legionnaires and Ladies Auxiliaries know ﬁrsthand that military

families bear more than their fair share of the load when one of their own serves in the Canadian military. We fundraise, we reach out and we provide a second family of support for them. Many of our members are not military related themselves, but they are with us because they care. The Legion is speaking up for those who have served this country with honour when we say they should get more services, not less. The cost to society will be borne by us all for years to come.

Hummingbird feeders are bear attractants It has come to the attention of the Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee that in the last couple of weeks a few black bears have been spotted trying to get their paws on hummingbird feeders. Most people don’t think of bears when they hang their hummingbird feeders in front of a window, where they are easy to reach for reﬁlling and provide a good view of the colorful little birds. What people don’t realize is that they have just hung a sweet treat for the bears.

A bear will do anything to get to a hummingbird feeder, including climbing your patio furniture, your barbecue or anything else in reach of the feeder, maybe destroying it while doing so. Think about planting some flowers and shrubs to attract the hummingbirds the natural way. They love red ﬂowers like bee balm, columbine, honey suckle, trumpet vine and many more. Consider taking your hummingbird feeders down or making sure that they are not acces-

Re: Premier bitten by pest problem, B.C. Views (May 23) I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on the hysterical reactions to any chemical use.

Despite controversial private power contracts and approval of two pricy dam refits, BC Hydro’s rate increase will be only 1.44 per cent next year. Energy Minister Rich Coleman said the B.C. government is instructing the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) to limit rate increases to a total of 17 per cent for the threeyear period ending April 1, 2014. With rates up 7.1 per cent since April of this year and last year’s eight-per-cent hike, the 1.44 per cent increase for next year is to meet a political commitment made by Coleman and Premier Christy Clark last year to reduce planned rate increases by half. The smallest rate increase in years is to take effect April 1, 2013, just weeks before the next provincial election. And the latest government instruction means a BCUC pub-

lic hearing on the latest rates won’t proceed. Coleman said in an interview the directed increase was not done for election purposes, but because it was the simplest way to proceed. A “negotiated settlement” with major ratepayer groups means a BCUC hearing that could run for months isn’t necessary, he said. NDP energy critic John Horgan said the government’s move is the latest in a series of political interventions into BC Hydro policy. It forced the utility to buy private power on expensive long-term contracts, it imposed the smart meter program and moved ahead on the Site C dam on the Peace River, all without review by the BCUC to see if they are in the best interests of ratepayers, he said. “This is a Crown corporation, the envy of North America, and these guys have run it into the ditch,” Horgan said. Coleman launched a review of

BC Hydro last year, after Clark spoke out against the prospect of a 50 per cent increase in hydro rates expected over five years. The review by deputy ministers said reducing BC Hydro staff and in-house engineering, along with other cost-saving measures, would meet the government’s target of keeping annual rate increases below four per cent. But the BCUC’s rate hearings pushed the increase for the current year up to 7.1 per cent, to increase repayment of debt that has been stacked up in recent years. Auditor General John Doyle issued a report last year that said the government was taking annual dividends from BC Hydro that were not justified by its earnings, and the utility was increasing deferred debt as a result. Coleman announced last Tuesday that the province was able to reach its rate goal by forgoing $75 million in dividends over three years.

Pipeline twinning project pared down Black Press

Kinder Morgan has pared down the size of its Trans Mountain pipeline twinning project, slightly reducing the number of oil tankers that would be expected to load up in Burnaby if the controversial expansion is approved. The $4.1-billion pipeline expansion would now increase capacity from the current 300,000 barrels per day to 750,000 – down from a previous estimate of 850,000. About 400,000 to 450,000 barrels per day, much of it diluted heavy crude from Alberta’s oil sands, would be allocated for export via tanker, according to Kinder Morgan spokesman Andrew Galarnyk. He said that translates into about 300 oil tankers a year calling on the Westridge Marine Terminal on Burrard Inlet, compared to 32 last year and a record of 69 in 2010. “We previously in-

Kinder Morgan now estimates about 300 tankers per year will load in Burnaby after downsizing its pipeline expansion plan. It has previously suggested 300 to 360 tankers would be expected after the twinned line opens in 2017.

dicated roughly 25 to 30 tankers per month,” Galarnyk said. “We’re probably going to be at the low end of that range now – probably 25.” He said the tanker estimates assume continued use of existing Aframax size tankers, not larger Suezmax tankers that hold up to one million barrels, but which would require Port Metro Vancouver dredging the Second Narrows.

“Our project is going to stand alone on the current types of vessels that are calling on our facility.” The project has been downsized because some shippers that would use the twinned pipeline failed to get the approval of their boards to sign binding contracts with Kinder Morgan. The pipeline project would open up much more access for Canadian crude oil to reach

new markets in Asia. Kinder Morgan expects to launch community consultations in the weeks ahead, which would precede a formal project application to the National Energy Board at least 18 months from now.

The company aims to begin construction in 2016 and open the new line in 2017. Trans Mountain’s right-of-way runs from northern Alberta southwest through B.C. and runs through the Lower Mainland, passing through Chilliwack and northern stretches of Abbotsford, Langley and Surrey before crossing the Fraser River and passing through Coquitlam and Burnaby. The plan is opposed by city councils in Burnaby and Vancouver, as well as various environmental groups. The Trans Mountain project is in addition to Enbridge’s proposed $5.5-billion Northern Gateway pipeline, which would carry oil on an all-new route across northern B.C. to Kitimat and then overseas via tanker.

The weather has definitely improved so this is a nice time to take those evening strolls around town. Head out around dusk and don’t forget your tripod. It would be a great time to try out some of those night shots. You don’t have to wait until it is completely dark, just long enough to have the street lights on and the sky with some blue remaining. You can get some fantastic reflections off of still water out at places like Thacker Marsh or at a lake. As it gets darker you will be using longer exposures. Set up on Wallace Street and capture how the street is lit by store fronts and the lamp standard. A cool effect is to use a very long exposure and have a friend walk through the frame. Their image will be ghostly and blurred. If the sky is clear you can use even longer exposures and photograph the star field moving over town. Those shots can be very dramatic. Another challenge is to photograph lights reflecting off of moving water like the Coquihalla river that’s even more dramatic.

Cooper’s Foods wins Rotary barrel race Despite unusually high water levels, the 2012 Rotary River Run Regatta did not break any records on Sunday. The turbulent and log-filled river appeared to intimidate several of the barrels immediately after being launched at Hell’s Gate. They huddled in the relative safety of back currents around the

fish ladders, waiting for the rapids to calm down a bit before making their move. Several brave bobbers did charge out into the foaming water, making their way downstream to what looked like a quick race to the finish line in Yale. However, Lady Franklin Rock held back many competitors in the early afternoon.

Finally at 3:30 p.m., the Cooper’s Foods barrel, sporting a Campbell’s Soup look alike paint job, pulled free and made the dash to the finish line, completing the race in just under 3.5 hours. The rest of the pack seemed destined to remain stuck behind the rock all night, but the Hope Towing barrel came to the rescue, pulling out the Hope

This ended up being one of the closest races for second and third place in race history. In addition to taking the 2012 Rotary River Run Regatta title of fastest barrel, the Cooper’s Foods entry was also a crowd favorite, winning Most likely to Succeed and tying for first place with Joe’s Restaurant for Best Decorated barrel. MNP’s “Beancounter” won the Least Likely To Succeed category, while the Boston Bar Kal Tire “Mr. Grumpy” barrel was awarded the coveted Crowd Pleaser prize.

Royal spring concert Jennifer Feinberg Black Press

The spring concert by the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra and Metropolitan Youth Orchestra at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre promises to be one of regal celebration and due pomp. The final concert of the CMO season on June 1 will spotlight tributes to the Diamond Jubilee of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2, with light overtures and marches conducive for a splendid spring concert, says Maestro Johan Louwersheimer. “It’s going to be fantastic,” he says. “The kids are really enjoying it.” The program will lean toward the style of the Proms, the hugely popular music festivals held in London every year. “Proms” in this sense comes from “promenade concerts,” which harken back to a glorious time when classical music was performed outdoors by live orchestras, and later in the Royal Albert Hall. They’ll perform Pomp and Circumstance, of course and the majes-

tic Fireworks by Handel. Beethoven rounds out the program and the CMYO will be performing some of the young musicians’ favourites. The Peer Gynt Suite with its Morning Mood highlighting the flute and the Hall of the Mountain King with its contrasting emphasis on the low strings is pure pleasure. The fourth successful season of the Orchestra is coming to a close, and it’s been one of growth and innovation for the organization, says Louwersheimer. The youth orchestra has had a busy performance schedule, and when in combination with the entire orchestra there are over 100 musicians on stage. Senior members of the CMYO joined with the Handel Society and under the baton of Maestro Louwersheimer performed Messiah for a full house in White Rock. Tickets to the spring concert at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on June 1 are $25 or $15 for students. Showtime is 7:30 p.m. Contact the centre box office at 604-391-SHOW for more details.

FVRL receives donation for bilingual books Fraser Valley Regional Library has added over 5,000 bilingual children’s picture books to its collection. The addition of these materials was made possible by a $10,000 donation from the Joint Diversity and Training Trust of the United Food & Commercial Workers Local 1518 and Overwaitea Foods Group. The Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver have a culturally diverse and multilingual population. The area is home to nearly 80 per cent of BC’s recent immigrants and since 2005, B.C. has welcomed over 35,000 chil-

dren without official language ability. Bilingual books present stories in both English and another language along with illustrations that support vocabulary learning in an entertaining way. “FVRL strives to offer a comprehensive collection of materials in many world languages,” said FVRL chief executive officer Rob O’Brennan. “The donation to FVRL ... will help both English-speaking and English-learning children and families realize their true potential.”

Mother, daughter share a passion for art A new exhibit at Hope Arts Gallery will feature the fresh and lively styles of local artist Jacquiline Coughlin. Interested in different artistic mediums, Coughlin owned a small ceramic shop in Boston Bar and was a partner in a Chilliwack bead store for about 10 years. Now that she’s retired, Coughlin has more time to travel and create different landscapes. “I’ve just recently taken up painting and it has become a passion,” she said. “I started with watercolors and I am

trying my hand (brush) at acrylics. I am mainly self-taught, but have taken workshops from various artists so I am learning more all the time.” Pics ‘n Paints will also showcase the work of Coughlin’s daughter Angela, who is a photographer from Abbotsford. The back room exhibit runs June 1-28 at the Hope Arts Gallery. An artists reception will be held on June 2 from 7-9 p.m. The Hope Arts Gallery is located at 349 Fort St.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Grade 8 javelinist Justin Dolan launches his missile during last Thursday’s practice at Hope Secondary School. Coach Jason Fisher plans to take a small team of athletes to community invitational track and field meets in June.

It’s been a slow spring for high school sports, due to the protracted teachers’ dispute — but a small group Hope Secondary students are keeping the track and field season alive, with after-school practices and plans to attend two or three community meets in June. Jason Fisher, who has been coaching athletics at the school since he came to Hope in 2006, is an acting vice-principal this year and is thus not affected by union obligations. “It fluctuates, but we’ve had as many as 15 kids this year who have come out for practices,” said Fisher on Monday. “We’ve actually had a decent number of Grade 8s and a number of Grade 11s, with a good mix of males and females. “The throwing events, in general, are what most of them have gravitated to, especially the javelin, discus and hammer throw. We also have a pole-vaulter, Jeremiah Steberl. His brother Matt (grad of 2010) got started on it when he was in Grade 10 and Jeremiah’s in Grade 8, so I’ve got him going a few years earlier. “It’s been a pretty difficult year, though, “ said Fisher, “because we didn’t have school meets to attend” due to down-valley schools shutting down their programs. “I made an executive decision and didn’t register our school with B.C. School Sports.” Because they weren’t registered, the students weren’t able to take part in the regional Fraser Valley meet, which is usually a prerequisite for getting to the B.C. high school track and field championships, which run this weekend at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby. “The Fraser Valley championships were way down this year,” added Fisher. “They capped it at 600 participants due to the lack of manpower to run it.” Looking at the meet results, public schools were largely absent, or minimally represented — leaving the field wide open for the independent, faith-based schools. Fisher consulted the bcsscctfa.bc.ca site

and saw a similar pattern going into the provincial finals. “I see Alberni Valley is only sending two athletes — and they usually have a big team,” he said. “Lots of these look like private schools. I see Chilliwack Secondary is sending one and G.W. Graham is only sending five. It’s usually twice that many for G.W. Graham. It’s kind of sad, really. “Oak Bay is sending 45, though — which is huge. They’re a powerhouse and they’ll likely do well.” Larger communities have track and field clubs that are independent of schools, offering coaching for youth and adult members. Many put on track meets during the year and Fisher is looking at taking the Hope team to a few of these. “The first one is on June 9 and 10 in Coquitlam, the Jesse Bent Memorial,” said Fisher. “It’s at the Coquitlam Oval [Percy Perry Stadium] and they got a brand new track last year. It’s beautiful... probably the best in B.C. right now. The throwing areas were redone, as well. “The second meet is in Langley, from June 15 to 17 — and we’re still considering the Kelowna meet on the last weekend in June,” said the coach. “I haven’t been there in a while but it used to be one of the biggest meets in B.C.” **** Walkers who have been taking part in the “Walk to Alaska” program at the local rec centre can turn around and start walking back, says program leader Kim Richardson. The group of about 20 step-counters combined their efforts to walk the equivalent distance of Hope, B.C. to Point Hope, Alaska. “It was about eight million steps, in all,” says Richardson. “It took about seven weeks but we’re homeward bound now.” There are no joiners allowed at this point, so it’s up to the group to get everyone home safely... hopefully before the end of August, when a new virtual-walk will be getting ready. “We’ll be heading south to Mexico in the fall,” says Richardson, “and we’ll have more pedometers by then.”

IN MEMORIAM

In Memory of Gordon Wittig January 2 1929 May 28, 2011 We little knew that day God was going to call your name In life we loved you dearly In death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, You did not go alone, For part of us went with you, The day God called you home. You left us beautiful memories, Your love is still our guide Though we can not see you You are always by our side. Our family chain is broken, And nothing seems the same But as God calls us one by one The chain will link again.
