2 stalks celery, chopped 1 orange, cut into wedges 1 onion, chopped 1 carrot, chopped 1 (14.5 oz) can chicken broth 1 (750 ml) bottle champagne
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a turkey rkey roaster with long sheets of aluminum foil that will be long enough to wrap over the turkey. Stir together the parsley, rosemary, sage, age, thyme, lemon pepper, and salt in a small bowl. Rub the herb mixture into o 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 chickenn broth and champagne over the turkey, making sure to get some champagne inn the cavity. Bring the aluminum foil over the top of the turkey, and seal.

Bake the turkey in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 to 3 hours ours 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. Remove the turkey from the oven, over with a doubled sheet of aluminum foil, and allow to rest in a warm area 10 - 15 minutes before slicing. all rights reserved 2015 Allrecipes.com

The snow has been falling at Manning Park Resort, prompting one of the earliest openings on record.
Manning Park opens early Weekend opening marks one of the earliest on record Manning Park Resort is opening alpine ski operations this weekend, 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 contributing 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 opening 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 snowboarders 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 operations. 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-country 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 outdoor ice rink.

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, particularly with the Fraser River running 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 children 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.

THE NAME SAYS IT ALL!
The body of a 61-year-old trucker has been recovered after the logging truck he was driving 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 washedout. 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 members 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
Child poverty called a ‘crisis’ An annual child poverty report card is once again criticizing B.C.’s high child poverty rate and lack of a comprehensive 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 marginally from a year earlier but advocates say it’s far too high. “The data in this report is evidence of a continuing child poverty crisis that reaches into every corner of the province,” said the coalition’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 children 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 government to bring the

Harrison SAR joined the call. Hope RCMP with the assistance of the Lower Mainland District Police Dog Service and HSARS united, faced an excessive 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 members 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.”

New incinerator rules opposed by FVRD

NEED! N I E S THO HELPING
Jeff Nagel Black 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 worldleading,” said Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, chair of the FVRD board, adding 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 certificate for the existing WTE plant and it’s gone through a final 30-day public comment 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 incinerator. “If this is approved, I’d be incredulous,” she said. Among the FVRD’s demands are that the WTE plant adopt continuous monitoring of air pollutants, instead of periodic testing, where results might appear cleaner 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 existing 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 publishing 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-compliance. Cadmium has been found in the incinerator’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 requirements 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 nitrogen 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 dollars bringing up the environmental performance 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.”

The latest change to B.C. liquor policy loosens the rules for restaurant 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 separate lounge area or feeling pressured to order food. That’s expected to provide some more flexibility 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 dining or enjoying a cocktail.” The rules for music and comedy performances 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.

Feds slow pace of Syrian refugee rescue Black Press The federal Liberal government has retreated from its campaign 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 prepared.” 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 language 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 interviews and rigorous screening checks against multiple security 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 single 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 vulnerable 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 military planes are also on standby if needed. They’ll initially land in Toronto or Montreal before going to various cities across the country. Up to 3,500 of the Syrian refugees 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 possible. 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.
FOR ALL YOUR IMMUNIZATION NEEDS!
“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 governmentsponsored 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 responsibility, but the province has added $1 million to the $4 million it spends annually to support the federal immigrant resettlement program. He also expects significant 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 children.” – files from Tom Fletcher

Pipeline firm wins latest court battle Jeff Nagel Black 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 unworkable to take away from the NEB the power to order the engineering feasibility 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 contempt of court charges against many activists were later thrown out because the company had used inaccurate coordinates 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 expensive,” Burnaby Mayor
Derek Corrigan said, adding 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 officials 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 handed” approach from the new Liberal government in Ottawa could yield a political solution.

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 airstrikes 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 suspend 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
Lights out for opponents of Site C BC Views
The fall session of the B.C. legislature petered out two days early last week, as the ruling B.C. Liberals and the opposition NDP agreed to turn out the energyefficient 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 Tom the future of B.C. energy, with a strong Fletcher 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 subsidizing homeowners to fix their windows and insulation? “The costing will be more apparent when we get closer to the election,” 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 construction 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 construction 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.
Standard
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. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Letters Re: Chamber Annual General Meeting 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 ongoing 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.

Subject: Carbon Tax In reference to Tom Fletcher's article regarding the Paris Accord and carbon pricing. Though the governments 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 carbon producing corporations. Regardless, it seems they can't help themselves to another source of taxation to help balance their budgets. 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 proposed system of the Federal Green Party's proposed system of Fee and Dividend. Under the Fee and Dividend system, all carbon producers 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 corporate colleges of the hook, for fear of losing their lobbied support. Art Green

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?

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 number of weeks. In the heat of an intense election 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 government now in power and New Year’s Day fast approaching, more and more questions were being asked on how they could possibly 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 compromising 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 determine 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 security issues are on the line.

ANSWERS FOR THIS WEEK’S CROSSWORD PUZZLE CAN BE FOUND IN THE CLASSIFIED SECTION OF THIS PAPER
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 government takes. We support bringing 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 criminally 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 discovered 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 resistance, 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 process 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 process 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 refugees once they arrive in Canada. Caring Canadians in our communities 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 individuals 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. Mark Strahl is the MP for ChilliwackHope

Jennifer Feinberg Black Press 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 artistically and she created art prints and paintings 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 driftwood, 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.

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 soccer 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 graduation 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

Sports Skaters shine in Jingle Blades competition Barry Stewart Hope Standard
BARRY STEWART/ THE STANDARD
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.
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 earlier 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 schedules 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 followed figure skating and has attended two of the three competitions Olivia has skated in. “Although I warned them about the conditions 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 competition.” 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 second-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.”

Nine local figure skaters attended the annual Jingle Blades competition 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 competition 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 skaters 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-minute program that had to have an axel jump, which has one-and-a-half rotations 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 assessments, which we can use for the next competition.” Four Hope girls competed at the Star 1 level, which began with an evaluation of skills in isolation. 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 backward one-foot spins, spirals, 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

Mushroom Caps 10 stuff able (large) fresh white mushrooms 1 block cream cheese 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded mozza cheese ( leave 1/2 cup or more if desired, to topping) 4 green onions, chopped lemon juice spices (garlic powder, dill, seasoning salt) 300g crab meat (imitation), chopped shrimp (optional), chopped 1. Wash mushrooms and dry. 2. Remove stems, retain half of the stems and chop. 3. Mix cream cheese, green onions, chopped stems, seasonings, and lemon juice to taste. 4. Add carb and 1/2 to 3/4 cup mozza cheese. 5. Place mushrooms in a pie plate and fill with a scoop of mixture. 6. Top with remaining shredded cheese. 7. Bake uncovered for 20 min. or until browned at 350 degrees
by Dave Flexhaug
( Winter Favourtie) 1 1/2 lbs stew meat 2 tetra pack Western Family 25% less salt beef stock 2 large carrots 2 stalks celery 2 parsnips 1 medium onion 1/2 or small turnip 10 mushrooms, sliced 2 potatoes seasoning: dill, garlic powder, seasoning salt, greek spice, pepper flour 1. Brown meat in a pot that is large enough to hold all ingredients. 2. Add diced vegetables: carrots, celery, parsnips, onion, turnips and mushrooms and cook covered for 10 - 12 minutes. 3. Add potatoes and seasoning and cook for 8 minutes with lid on, stirring every few minutes. 4. Check to see if the vegetables are starting to soften. You will want the spuds a little harder. When you feel that all is cooked enough, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup flour and stir all together. 5. Add beef stock and stir until all flour is mixed in. 6. Bring to a boil (with lid partially open) and then turn down heat and stir every 15 minutes. Cook for 1 hour. 7. If you would like it thicker then take a ladle-full of broth (no vegetables) and mix it in a separate container with 1/2 cup flour. Turn the heat up and add the flour mixture to thicken it more. 8. Add seasonings to taste. 9. Best served in a bread bowl or with Country Harvest 12 grain bread.

White Christmas I’m dreaming of a white Christmas Just like the ones I used to know, Where the tree tops glisten, and children listen To hear sleighbells in the snow. I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, With every Christmas card I write May your days be merry and bright, And may all your Christmases be white.

the sun was hot that day, So he said, “Let’s run and we’ll have some fun now before I melt away.” Down to the village, with a broomstick in his hand, running here and there all around 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!”

Yea, Lord we greet thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to thee be glory giv’n Word of the father, now in flesh appearing. Oh come let us adore him, Oh come let us adore him Oh come let us adore him, Christ the lord.
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks dressed in holiday style. In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas. Children laughing, people passing, meeting smile after smile, And on every street corner you’ll hear: Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day. City street lights, even stop lights, blink a bright red and green, As the shoppers rush home with their treasures. Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch, This is Santa’s big scene, And above all this bustle you’ll hear: Silver bells, silver bells, It’s Christmas time in the city. Ring-a-ling, hear them ring, soon it will be Christmas day.

You know Dasher and Dancer And Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid And Donner and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all? Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb) And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows (like a flash light) All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinochio) They never let poor Rudolph Play in any reindeer games (like Monopoly). Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho) Rudolph with your nose so bright Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight? Then all the reindeer loved him And they shouted out with glee (yippee) “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer You’ll go down in history!”

Hark the Herald Angels Sing Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King! Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.” Joyful, all ye nations, rise, Join the triumph of the skies; With th’angelic host proclaim, “Christ is born in Bethlehem.” Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King! 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 deity Please, 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! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!

Winter Wonderland Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, in the lane, snow is glistening A beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland. Gone away is the bluebird, here to stay is a new bird He sings a love song, as we go along, walking in a winter wonderland. In the meadow we can build a snowman, Then pretend that he is Parson Brown He’ll say: “Are you married?” we’ll say: “No man, but you can do the job when you’re in town.” Later on, we’ll conspire, as we dream by the fire To 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 clown We’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 chilling We’ll frolic and play, the Eskimo way, walking in a winter wonderland.
