A sure sign the holidays are approaching, public works employees were busy stringing festive lights across Wallace Street last week. The street lights and decorated tree in Memorial Park will be lit every night starting Dec. 1. The new council will also be officially sworn in on Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. at district hall. The meeting will be followed by a screening of “It’s a Wonderful Life” at Hope Cinema, sponsored by Wilfried Vicktor, with admission by donation of a canned food item.
Community forest board fired
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
The Cascade Lower Canyon Community Forest (CLCCF) board of directors has been let go pending an operational review of the corporation. The partners – District of Hope, Fraser Valley Regional District and Yale First Nation – issued a termination letter to the board on Nov. 13, stating concern of the legalities of the grant processes and procedures currently employed. To facilitate the review process, all current directors have been removed and an interim board appointed. “This isn’t personal. They as a board made a decision that was going to
jeopardize the entire community forest,” said Mayor Susan Johnston, on behalf of the partners. “We can’t let that happen. At the end of the day, local governments are accountable to the public.” A 25-year renewable community forest agreement was signed between the three partners in 2012 allowing the CLCCF to cut 31,000 cubic meters of timber annually between Hope and Yale, and in a small area of Sunshine Valley. Lumber production and milling is managed by Tolko Industries. They are responsible for logging the forest, reforestation, and compensating CLCCF for the lumber produced. The profits are then distributed back into the partners’ local area by way of
project grant funding. After looking over the financial statements earlier this year, the partners met with the board of directors in May to review some of the policies and procedures. Johnston said money had been given out before things like tax implications had been ironed out. At that time, the board was instructed not to distribute any more community grants. “We went away from that meeting feeling that everyone understood, not perhaps that they all agreed, the importance of the disbursement of funds,” she said. “Recently, we were quite surprised to find out that the board went ahead and approved the disbursement of more funds against
the recommendation of the partners.” Deanna Venusio, who is in charge of board administration and communications, said they waited months to hear back from the partners before deciding to approve three grants at the end of October. There was money available at the time for grant dispersal and six outstanding grant applications. “The board is relatively frustrated with it. They understood when they were forming that the money is supposed to go back into the communities, whether it’s recreation or community services,” said Venusio, pointing out that CLCCF handed out $116,000 in community grants last year.

THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING HAPPENING AT THE LEGION!
New school crosswalk patrol launched
DARTS
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Coquihalla Elementary has launched a new school safety patrol. Modeled after the BCAA program, a group of student patrollers are now helping peers cross the street safely after school. They are currently focusing on the main crosswalk in front of the school, however, the group is working towards covering more crosswalks and times. “We’ve always wanted to do it but we never had kids old enough,” said principal Monique Gratrix. “So when we found out we were getting the C.E. Barry kids, it gave us the opportunity. We’ve always seen the need. The kids are really excited about it.” BCAA provided the patrol gear and training materials, and the RCMP assisted with the three-hour training session. Patrollers are given a safety patrol vest, stop sign, reflective wristband, whistle with lanyard, and patroller handbook outlining procedures and safety practices. Written consent from a parent

or guardian is required to participate in the program. “I wanted to volunteer so that I could keep the school safe and I can show some leadership and I can be responsible,” said patroller Meadow Ouellet. Patrol teams consist of three students: one team leader and two patrollers. The team positions themselves on the curb rather than on the road, and patrollers report for
duty before class dismissal to prepare the crosswalk with traffic cones. The leader uses a whistle and voice commands to signal the other two patrollers who use stop signs. Students not following safety procedures are written up, while those who do are given “gotchas” in recognition of doing the right thing. “I would really like the public to be aware and vigilant when they’re out on the road with this new
program up and running,” said Const. Jackie Remple, school liaison officer. “I want them to be aware of the kids doing this and what they are doing. The School Safety Patrol Program was founded in the 1920s by Charles M. Hayes, president of the Chicago Motor Club, after several children at a school crossing were killed by a speeding car. The first patrol was es-
tablished with two dozen boys trained to assist students across the road safely. Today, millions of youths have served as School Safety Patrollers in countries throughout the world. The Canadian Automobile Association’s School Safety Patrol Program has been in operation for over 80 years. Student volunteers from grades five to seven participate in the BCAA program in schools throughout the province.

Flu vaccine less effective against mutant strain
FOR WINE & BEER KITS
Jeff Nagel
Valid Dec 1, 2014 - Jan 31, 2015
This year’s flu shot may prove less effective than usual because the dominant virus now circulating has mutated significantly in the months since the vaccine was devised. The H3N2 strain – one of three targeted in this year’s flu vaccine – is thought to have changed its genetic makeup enough to possibly thwart the antibodies that the vaccine activates. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, is still recommending the vaccine, particularly for the elderly, the chronically ill and those with compromised immune systems. “It’s not a perfect match,” she said. “But for the high risk, even an imperfectly matched vaccine is going to give cross protection. And for some people it could be life-saving.” She said the H3N2 strain tends to

be particularly nasty to the elderly and may bring a deadlier flu season than usual. “We may see more hospitalizations or deaths this year,” Skowronski said. She said it’s particularly concerning that the flu has struck B.C. surprisingly early this season, causing outbreaks in eight seniors’ care homes. The vaccine was formulated last February because it takes six to eight months to produce in large quantities and the H3N2 virus is thought to have since mutated while circulating in the southern hemisphere. Skowronski said it’s still not too late to get the shot and some protection when flu activity peaks in the weeks ahead, including any later surge of cases of influenza B, which tends to peak in March or April. The vaccine also targets the influenza B and H1N1 viruses, but
they’re considered less likely to cause illness this flu season. Even in years when the vaccine is a better fit – last year’s was about 70 per cent effective against the thendominant H1N1 strain – Skowronski says everyone should wash their hands frequently and avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth. People who get the flu shot often mistakenly think any illness they contract can’t be flu and sometimes fail to get appropriate treatment. “It doesn’t make you invincible,” Skowronski said. Anti-viral medication can stop or fight an influenza infection but must be given quickly, ideally within 12 hours of the start of symptoms. An estimated 3,500 Canadians die each year from flu complications – mainly seniors and others with underlying conditions. For flu shot locations, visit www. fraserhealth.ca/flushot

Fraser Health is reinstating seven flu vaccination clinics for seniors in various community centres after its decision to halt them this year triggered a backlash. More than 40 community centres that hosted seniors flu shot clinics last year were told earlier this fall they would not be run again as people have increasingly gone to pharmacists and doctors’ offices instead in recent years. Health Minister Terry Lake ordered a
review after the NDP made it an issue in the Legislature last week. Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said public health nurses will run clinics after they were requested by the nine community centres. There will be three in Burnaby (Bonsor, Edmonds and Cameron), and others in South Surrey at Centennial Park, at Guildford in Surrey, at a friendship centre in Agassiz and a seniors centre in Mission. Times and other details are to be posted at http://www.immunizebc.ca/clinics/flu once they’re confirmed.

College of Pharmacists. “Seniors should not be paying any type of fee to get their flu shot.” The shift in focus away from seniors centres was intended to let public health staff focus more on other groups, including people in homeless shelters and children under five, who cannot be vaccinated by a pharmacist.

Some other community centres also organized on-site shots by pharmacists, but that option may have been seen by others as “playing favourites” with a particular business, Juma said.

There have also been complaints of lack of privacy in supermarket pharmacies and administration charges by some pharmacies – which Juma said should not happen for

‘Level playing field’ for B.C. liquor stores Tom Fletcher Black Press
B.C. government liquor stores are losing their wholesale price advantage next spring, but will also have the option of opening Sundays and evenings with chilled offerings to help them compete with private stores. The change to a single wholesale price for every product takes effect April 1, the same date B.C. is permitting private or government liquor sales in separate facilities inside grocery stores. Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the change is to create a “level playing field” for liquor retailing in B.C., after private store operators complained that the existing system gave government stores an unfair price advantage. Currently the Liquor Distribution Branch, the government monopoly wholesaler, sells products

Attorney General Suzanne Anton says private retail stores have been calling for equal treatment from the government’s wholesale liquor monopoly.
to government stores at cost and sets a minimum price for all retailers. The wholesale price for private retail stores is 16 per cent less than that retail price, rural agency stores pay 12 per cent less, and stores that sell only B.C. wine get a 30 per cent discount. A new wholesale price structure for the thousands of products sold in liquor stores will be the same for all retailers, set to retain the $1 billion
in revenues the province takes in annually from liquor sales. Anton said she doesn’t expect substantial changes in retail prices. The B.C. Government Employees Union, representing government liquor store staff, welcomed the Sunday openings and increased hours to help their stores compete. “The move to a single wholesale price will only be in the public interest if it protects and expands
over time provincial revenue,” said BCGEU president Stephanie Smith. Premier Christy Clark said the government’s liquor policy review showed “people really like their government liquor stores” because of the wide selection and welltrained staff. Clark agreed with Smith that government stores are well positioned to compete with private outlets, which are generally not unionized and pay lower wages. The government is also changing its tax system for breweries to eliminate the steep increase that applies when small breweries reach a certain level of production. Anton said that is designed to encourage growth of craft breweries, which currently employ 2,500 people in B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch officials are also working on a system of higher prices for highalcohol beverages.

Opinion
Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
Support Canadian economy Many Canadians heading down to the U.S. to take advantage of Black Friday sales probably think it’s no big deal to shop outside the country. After all, many of the stores at local malls are U.S.-based chain stores anyways — really, what difference does it make to head south? Well, the truth is, taking your hard-earned dollars out of the country does hurt Canada and here’s why: jobs and taxes. Dollars that stay in Canada keep Canadians employed. It’s that simple. If you spend in Washington, you are keeping Americans employed, and that’s a good thing — for Americans. But your neighbours here need jobs, too, and Canadian retailers are employing your kids, your neighbours’ kids, and moms, dads and grandparents of kids who live here. These jobs enable your neighbours to pay taxes, which keeps our social welfare safety net, including public health care, intact. If that doesn’t convince you to shop local, including during the Dec. 1 to 7 Buy Local Week, here are a few more reasons: • Shopping diversity: Small business owners offer unique products that you can’t get anywhere else and our marketplace would be poorer without them. Instead of heading south to shop and spending all that money on gas and food, check out one of the many local gift shops in the area. By shopping at these small local stores, you will enrich the marketplace and ensure there are more interesting places to buy goods in your neighbourhood. • Price check: There are some products available in the U.S. that are cheaper but many others, such as electronics, for example, are basically the same price in the Lower Mainland as they are in, say Bellingham, especially once you figure in the dollar difference. Other issues to consider are the environmental benefits of driving less and keeping your carbon footprint small, and shopping local at craft fairs. Not only will you be putting your dollars to work in a way that provides economic spin-offs for your community, you won’t have to sit in a border lineup. Now that sounds like a good deal. - Black Press
Liquor changes could push up prices B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher When the B.C. government announced its latest changes to liquor distribution, the reaction was not what I expected. Private store representatives complained bitterly that the government is allowing further expansion of fridges and “cold rooms” in selected government liquor stores, and longer operating hours that include more Sunday openings. Those hours, along with non-union staff, are the private stores’ big advantages as things stand in B.C.’s hybrid liquor retailing system. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union didn’t seem at all perturbed that state-run stores’ key
advantage was also going to be gone effective April 1. That would be preferential wholesale pricing, in which the government’s monopoly wholesaler sells to them at cost and to private stores at higher rates. How much higher? Liquor Distribution Branch officials were carefully vague on that, and it varies depending on which of the 22 wholesale categories you look at. They released a graph that suggests the average wholesale cost to government stores might be going up 10 to 15 per cent to create a “level playing field” with private stores. That wholesale price difference is the main reason private stores have generally higher retail prices. And the majority of the province’s revenue of nearly $1 billion a year comes from this monopoly wholesale business, where the hidden tax

is coyly termed a “mark-up.” When the new, simplified system comes in next spring, a bottle of hard liquor will have a “mark-up” of 124 per cent. That’s right, LDB more than doubles the price with its wholesale liquor tax. And if it’s premium booze, anything valued at more than $21 a litre will get an extra luxury tax on top of that. Coolers and ciders will see a 73 per cent mark-up. Wines are taxed at 89 per cent, with extra luxury tax on premium wines. Beer gets a perlitre tax with ascending rates for small, medium and large breweries. Then of course there is federal and provincial sales tax applied to all of it. Cheers! Premier Christy Clark acknowledged that the first guiding principle of this overhaul is to keep that government revenue coming. The new BCGEU president,
Standard
Stephanie Smith, doesn’t sound like your bullhorn-toting socialist of yore. She insists she’s gung-ho to compete head to head with those private interlopers and get back some lost market share, particularly on the high-volume cold beer sales. The union has another ace in the hole. Its current contract stipulates that LDB can’t close stores. In some small towns there are government stores that lose money, particularly since they’ve had more private competition. But at least for the duration of this BCGEU contract, the government retail arm will continue to operate in some places as a perverse social program, subsidizing retail clerk jobs that pay nearly twice what private retail pays. And let’s face it, running a till at a liquor store is not rocket surgery. Private and government store staff

have to take the same training, and liquor inspector sting operations have increased vigilance on ID checks in all stores. With higher wholesale prices applied to government stores, this kind of artificial support will cost more. The only way LDB could maintain it without subsidizing it from the wholesale windfall would be to raise retail prices.

New mayor’s comment was a ‘naive, innocent mistake’ Re: New mayor apologizes for campaign comment, Letters (Nov. 20) Thank you for your letter explaining your wording in the use of “cute little paddles” Mr. Mayor. I for one can read between the lines and knew there was no malice intended. It was a naive,
innocent mistake. I was pondering the perception of racism often rampant these days, after reading your letter. I know I have experienced it. I was a student in Scotland at a hostel and the Scottish owner changed from distant to friendly after discovering I was not Amer-
ican but Canadian. It felt horrible. I bet there isn’t one among us who hasn’t experienced racism in some form. It takes literacy and love to overcome this in our homes and in our social networks, and I am hoping each of us can look within ourselves and open our hearts to be less
defensive and more open to one another. Mr. Mayor, I commit to you my willingness to do so and I am certain that you will work to improve this lovely community into which the “First Nations are woven into every part...” Ruth Renwick
Law society’s decision not surprising This is in regards to, and with all do respect, to your letter from Trudy Beyak (Christians are being discriminated against, Letters, Nov. 20) and the recent decision concerning Trinity Western University accreditation to becoming a sanctified law school. As a lifetime Christian and a strong supporter of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, I don’t find it very surprising that the Law Society of BC has turned them down. Just recently the Vatican, and Pope Francis, have a adopted a new understanding and acceptance of the LGBTQ community. I think it’s
about time that we Christians, started to practice what we preach, and accept with open hearts and arms, those who don’t accept or understand our ideals and ways of life. This is obviously what the Vatican and Pope Francis have come to understand. For true Christians, the answers are always simple and basic. You just have to answer the question, what would Jesus have done? For there is not one example in the Holy scripture where Jesus denied anyone who sought out his help. My understanding of the Charters of Rights and Freedoms, “no per-
son....shall be deprived of any benefit or be subject to any obligation... or expression of their beliefs (or not) in respect of marriage...” If the Christian students of TWU want to make a personal covenant (I have) of their Christian faith, the more power to them. But we, also as Christians, must be accepting and understanding of those who do not share our values. For it is this acceptance and understanding, the free choice blessed upon us by the heavenly Father, that raises us above and beyond all other religions of the world. For Trinity Western University, to deny potential bright and
Successful Christmas craft sale A bright cold Saturday brought many people to the Legion in midNovember for the 32nd Annual Beta Sigma Phi Sorority Christmas Craft Sale. Shoppers came to see what crafts were available, and found intricate handiwork, bountiful baking, self-designed knitted items, cleverly designed hats and scarves and even a little something for the pets’ stockings. As always, it is a welcome venue to look for bargains and catch up with people we haven’t seen since last year! The in-house raffle produced 11 lucky winners. All of the prizes were donated either by generous crafters or their customers. Debbie Dixon won a scarf and gift bag, donated by Knits by Nash. Angela Ryder took home earrings from Katydid Creations. A lovely glass decanter, donated by Joyce Olds, went to Veronica Ryder. Joyce also donated the candle holder which was won by Shirley Trick. Clever seamstress Liz Brackley of Small Pockets donated two gifts bags, won by Adrienne Marshall and Roseanne Poirier respec-
tively. Photo Albums donated by Joyce Olds were won by Myrna Jiles. Tammy Shields won a Kut ‘n Kards wooden plaque. A wine caddy and contents donated by Lois McConville was won by Sarah King. Ann Alexander donated a Magnetic Therapy necklace, which was won by Barb Faris. And Ingrid Laaback won the generous gift basket, created
and donated by T.O.P.S. But the day’s profits and donation jar benefitted even more winners — those who need a little spirit-lifting when the Christmas season comes. All of the profits from the day which the Sorority raised themselves — close to $900 —will be shared between Holly Days and Transition House. Linda McMullan

Opinion
Keep provincial riding as it is As a long-time community member of the District of Hope, a business owner, an actively involved community volunteer, a former director of the BC Chamber of Commerce, and dedicated family man, I would like to bring some concerns to your attention in regards to the subject of electoral boundaries. Specifically, I am responding to the presentation/petition made before the Electoral Boundaries Commission at the Kamloops hearing held on Oct. 6, 2014 requesting that Hope and the Fraser Canyon be incorporated into the Fraser-Nicola riding that currently includes the communities of Princeton, Merritt, Lillooet, Ashcroft, and Clinton. A number of years ago Hope was originally part of the Fraser-Nicola riding until a re-alignment was established by the Electoral Districts Act in 2008, and our town became part of the new Chilliwack-Hope riding which was formed from an amalgamation of parts of the old districts of Chilliwack-Kent, Yale-Lillooet, Chilliwack-Sumas, Vancouver-Garibaldi, and Maple Ridge-Mission. This realignment was first contested in 2009, and then again in 2013. However, the 2008 realignment was practical and still makes sense and serves a practical purpose. Therefore, I firmly believe it would be rudest to maintain the status quo, keeping Hope and Boston Bar as is based on the following rationale: 1. Population - Since 2008 the population of the ChilliwackHope area has increased by approximately 21 per cent but it is still within two per cent of the average population in other ridings in our province. Therefore, moving 7,000 people from Chilliwack-Hope into the Fraser-Nicola riding would not be conducive to adequate representation. 2. Geography - The District of Hope is part of the Fraser Valley, not the Interior. Historically known as “The Gateway to Holiday Land,” Hope has always been the last stop before heading into the Interior and this goes back to the days when this community was once a Hudson’s

Bay fur trading post known as Fort Hope. Strategically located at the eastern end of Upper Fraser Valley. 3. Cultural, Economical, Services - The entire area from Boston Bar down through the Fraser Canyon to the heart of the Fraser Valley naturally gravitates south with respect to culture, business, and services including, but not limited to, health, recreation, amenities, etc. In fact, the Hope & District Recreation Commission of the regional district serves from Hope up to and including Boston Bar – it is not geared towards Lytton, Lillooet, and beyond. Corporate sponsors for our minor hockey association, for example, are from Agassiz, Chilliwack, and Hope. Local summer camps, tournaments, and special annual events draw heavily from the Fraser Valley. The closest hospital facility is located in Hope with surgeries or specialized medical treatments requiring relatively short distance travel to neighbouring Fraser Valley communities of Chilliwack or Abbotsford. Residents of Hope also have more business ties to the Fraser Valley first and the Lower Mainland second, rather than heading north or east into the Interior. It would not be conducive to divide the natural inclination or orientation of the current riding structure – it would create more of a challenge for an MLA to represent if boundaries were redistributed, and may be perceived as an effort in futility and redundancy. Constituents of Hope, the Fraser Canyon and up through Boston Bar have already experienced inadequate representation and consideration when these areas once formed a part of the Fraser-Nicola riding. The MLA of that period was located too far away to meet frequently with residents, did not visit our communities often, which meant inadequate representation and consequently resulted in Hope being included in the provincial boundary redistribution in 2008. 4. Administrative structures School District No. 78 covers a considerable geographical area consisting of schools from Boston
Bar, Hope, Agassiz, and Harrison Hot Springs. The boundaries of our school district collate with the boundaries of Chilliwack-Hope. There is great concern if Hope and Boston Bar were to moved into the Fraser-Nicola constituency since there would be representation by two MLAs, which would put the school district at risk to fall between the cracks, especially if neither MLA has a focused interest in representing our school district in Victoria. As well, it would be more efficient to align our provincial riding with the new federal riding, particularly in regards to the District of Hope. Our new federal riding here is also called Chilliwack-Hope and, conveniently, both our MP and MLA offices in Chilliwack are located within close vicinity to each other, enabling them to continue to coordinate their efforts to serve our community. Hope would most certainly suffer should it be removed from its current riding as it would be difficult and impractical for the federal Chilliwack-Hope to coordinate efforts with an MLA located a mountain range away in Princeton or Merritt. 5. Respecting First Nations There are around 36 First Nations bands in the Chilliwack-Hope riding. The Sto:lo First Nation alone encompasses Chilliwack up the Fraser Valley along the Fraser River to Yale, including 11 bands and some 2,200 band members. (School District No. 78 serves nine bands from Agassiz-Harrison up to and including Boston Bar/North Bend.) Changing boundaries would, again, risk divided and weaker representation of an important community interest and culture. To conclude, I ask that the boundary commission review and consider the reasons and rationale provided to maintain the current Chilliwack-Hope riding as it is to best serve the interests of the constituents in our region, allowing efficient democratic representation without diving interests.

News Arrests of pipeline protesters start long battle Jeff Nagel Black Press
Dozens of protesters have been arrested on Burnaby Mountain since police moved in last Thursday to clear activists who blocked Kinder Morgan’s oil pipeline survey crews. As of Monday, more than 70 had been arrested – some charged with civil contempt of court for violating a court injunction and others briefly detained and released. Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. John Buis said two may face criminal charges of assault or obstruction but added police “continue to facilitate peaceful and lawful protest.” Those arrested Friday included SFU science professor Lynne Quarmby and climate change activist Kevin Washbrook. “There are no other options left,” Washbrook said after being charged with civil contempt of court for pushing through a line of police officers. “We may be in for a Clayoquot-type situation where people who feel

they have to make a stand show up each day and make an effort to cross the line.” Sunday saw a busload of supporters arrive from Vancouver Island and an appearance by environmentalist David Suzuki, who criticized RCMP officers for arresting peaceful protesters who step into the injunction zone. “It grieves me because of the respect we have for you,” Suzuki told Mounties through a bullhorn. Workers on Friday began drilling two test holes into the mountain to determine whether a tunneling route for the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline could avoid existing Burnaby neighbourhoods. The geotechnical work is to run 24 hours a day until sometime next week. Burnaby has been the flashpoint for opposition to the pipeline project because Kinder Morgan is trying to finalize its route in north Burnaby ahead of National Energy Board hearings on the project in the new year. Besides the civil disobedience, the City of Burnaby and

its council are engaged in court battles aimed at thwarting the project by refusing access. “I don’t think this is going to be over quickly,” Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said. “We’re going to see ongoing legal battles that will probably take place over the next several years.” Pipeline opponents argue the huge jump in oil tanker traffic out of Burrard Inlet that will result will greatly increase the risk of a catastrophic oil spill in B.C. waters.
Corrigan said he understands protesters’ frustration, but said they should leave the city to fight the legal battle rather than risk arrest. Burnaby is in federal court challenging Trans Mountain’s authority granted by the NEB to override city bylaws and it also wants the B.C. Court of Appeal to grant Burnaby an injunction barring the Kinder Morgan crews from the conservation area after a lower court judge refused. Corrigan said the

Powerlifter finishes second at B.C. competition Barry Stewart Hope Standard
If you ever have a flat tire in the Cooper’s Foods parking lot, this guy might be able to give you a lift… literally. Brian Clark, the acting assistant manager at the local grocery store, placed second at a recent powerlifting competition, where he showed that if one corner of your car weighs 245 Kg or less, then yes: he can handle that. The British Columbia Powerlifting Association held its Fall Classic event in Abbotsford on Nov. 8-9 and for Clark, it was his first-ever competition. “I heard about it through a friend of a friend, Mark-Andres Grenier,” said Clark, a Hope Secondary grad of 2002. “He lives in Chilliwack and he ended up finishing first. There were six in our weight class.” The two were placed in the 8393 Kg “unequipped” or “raw” event, which meant they couldn’t use knee wraps, explained Clark. “You’re allowed a belt, knee sleeves and wrist wraps. “I had to cut a bit of weight — about 10 pounds (4.5 Kg) in about six weeks — by going low-carb and by carb-cycling, which is loading up on carbs for two or three days a week, then going with no carbs on the other days.” Clark figured that he’s been a regular at the rec centre’s Reflexions gym since he was in Grade 8, in the late 1990s. “I started to do the powerlifting style, to get stronger, about a yearand-a-half ago. I train four or five times a week, for about an hour at a time.” Powerlifting involves the squat, bench press and deadlift and the first two are potentially dangerous to do without the help of a spotter. Clark said he doesn’t train with a specific partner, though there is always someone who can help out. “I just call out for a spotter and someone comes over — and vice versa.” In preparation for the competition, Clark said he put himself through a “mock meet,” two or three weeks prior, to test himself. Knowing your limits helps you set your goals at the event. “You get three lifts of each type, with about 10 to 15 minutes between lifts,” he explained. (Between each type of lift, there might be a few hours before the next is ready,

as all other weight classes have to cycle through the equipment.) “You want to start off at about 90 per cent, then go to 95 to 100 per cent on your second lift — and go for a personal record on your third,” said Clark. “They take your best lift in each type. “On the squat, I started at 435 pounds (197 Kg) — which is a good lift — then I did 451 pounds (205 Kg), which is a personal record. I missed on 463 pounds (210 Kg.)” Lack of competition experience may have been a factor, he figured. “You have three judges and you need at least two to say that it was a good lift. On the descent, you need
to have your thighs parallel to the ground before you start back up. Only one said I did.” At the bench press, Clark was successful at 145 Kg, then missed at 147 and didn’t do his third. “I’ve probably done 340 pounds (154 Kg) here at the gym,” he said. Again, he learned from the experience at his first competition. “On the bench press, the judge says ‘unrack’ then ‘hold’ — for up to five seconds — then they tell you to start,” Clark recalled. That was different from his regular training, where it’s unrack and start right away. “I wasn’t used to holding the
weight for that long — but they want to see that you are under control,” he said. “I’ll include that in my training, for my next meet in February, in Vancouver. “At the bottom of the lift, they have you stop with the weight against your chest and hold it for one second, then they say ‘press.’ I wasn’t used to that, either.” Clark’s other learning experience came in the deadlift. In this event, the barbell is on the floor and you crouch and lift it to a standing position, with the bar at your hips. “I warmed up in the back,” he said. “The weights in the Hope gym are all in pounds and down

there, they were all in kilograms. I miscalculated and was warming up with 540 pounds (245 Kg), which is my personal best. I know it’s double, plus that .2 — and when you get up there, it adds up.” He added that no: he doesn’t work in the meat department, so don’t be hoping for overweight deals on your roasts. Clark stood with 238 Kg on his first deadlift, then showed the crowd his personal best of 245 Kg on his second. “On my third lift, of 551 pounds (250 Kg), I got it to my knees, then gave out. That warm-up blew me out!”

OBITUARIES
COJOCAR, Dr. Ronald George April 3, 1931 November 19,2014 Ron Cojocar passed away peacefully in the Chilliwack General Hospital with his beloved wife Claudia at his side. Ron, the eldest son of Mike and Lillian Cojocar, was raised in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan with his sister Shirlee and brother Bob. Ron was never far from the Thoroughbreds his father trained and raced. Ron first attended the University of Saskatchewan graduating with a B.Sc. - Geophysics. This led to work with USGS and entailed exploratory work throughout western Canada and the far north. Perhaps missing the animal world, Ron re-enrolled in university in 1961 and graduated in 1966 with a doctorate in veterinary medicine. The family moved west with Ron establishing his own practice in Calgary in 1969, serving the horse community of Alberta for the next 20 years. In 1974 Ron met Claudia at an equestrian event, and they spent the following 40 years at each other’s side as familiar members of the western Canadian equine community, initially outside of Calgary AB, then Kelowna BC and finally settling in Hope BC in 2003. Ron and Claudia were active and well known in the local community for their volunteer work. Ron was a kind and gentle man, a caring father and grandfather, a great companion and a loving husband. He is survived by his wife Claudia, his daughters: Alison Cojocar and Jocelyn Wensley, son Michael Cojocar (Tunde), step son Jeff Campf (Shelley) and their respective children. A service will be held at Christ Church in Hope on Tuesday, December 30 at 2:00 pm. We will also have a gathering remembering Ron at Thunderbird Show Park on Tuesday, May 19, 2015 at 5:30 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Ron’s favourite charity, Doctors Without Borders, www.doctorswithoutborders.org A special thank you to all the people who helped us through this difficult journey, especially Dr. R. Green, Dr. M. Noble, and Dr. E. M. Klaus.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Terry Comeault at the Fraser Canyon Hospital. Terry battled cancer for many years, but at the end faced a battle he couldn’t win. He was 68 years old. Terry was a man who was loved dearly by his family and friends. He is survived by his daughters: Chandell, Samantha and Lisa his sons Shawn and Bruce, grandchildren Jordyn, Amber, Devon, Cory and Samara and many close friends. Terry worked for The Hope Standard for the last 12 years delivering papers to the stores. He loved woodworking and spent countless hours creating woodburnings. Naydeen, you described Dad so well so I thought I’d share your thoughts. “This amazing man will be missed dearly. Terry always had a smile on his face, a positive attitude and a deep love for his family. Always a pleasure to be around and he loved the Ladies!! Terry had a heart of gold, always willing to help out whenever he could. His spirit now soars and we know he will always be with us.” A Celebration of Life will be held later at a date to be announced.
A sincere thank you and appreciation to many friends and neighbours from surrounding towns and communities for all their prayers, support and constant encouragement while my son Todd Chapman was facing the challenge of his life, nearly two months before finally having a quint by-pass (open heart surgery). Thank you to Dr. Greggain & Staff at Fraser Canyon Hospital. Thank you to Dr. Gill (Cardiology)& Staff at Abbotsford Hospital. Thank you to Dr. Fedoric (Surgeon) & Staff at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria. Todd had just returned home from the hospital and he had to return to Fraser Canyon Hospital for an emergency heart concern (outcome positive). Thank you Dr. Nanton, forever grateful, from Todd. The help, physical, emotional and spiritual is not appreciated enough. We’ll never forget each and every friend and neighbour. The constant enquirers and visits shows who truly cares. Forever grateful, Anna Chapman-Maguire Ruby Creek
