DISTRICT CONSIDERS FRENCH IMMERSION

Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

A new student-driven initiative in Hope is targeting a growing problem in the school district.

Erin Wilkins’ Social Justice 12 class at Hope Secondary has partnered with Hope Community Services on an anti-cyber bullying project.

“We jumped on board because it � ts well with our curriculum – seeing an injustice and trying to � x it,” said Wilkins. “My students are motivated to try and create change and are hop-ing that if they lead, others will fol-low.”

A bullying survey has been handed out to Grade 7-10 students through-

out the district over the last few weeks in an e� ort to understand more about what is going on in individual schools. � e questionnaire is grouped into � ve sections: o� ender, victimiza-tion, bystander, physical/verbal bully-ing, and cyber bullying. Even though the survey is anonymous, students are asked to include their gender, age and grade with their answers.

Wilkins’ students have until March to dra� some kind of lesson plan based on the questionnaire results, which will then be implemented at each targeted grade level throughout the district by the Social Justice 12 class.

“What we’ve found is that kids

listen to kids. If we can get senior students to teach younger students, maybe we’ll have a better response and they’ll be more receptive,” said Wilkins. “� e reason we’re targeting cyber bullying is it seems to be the way to keep adults out of the loop. � is might get the lines of communi-cation open, especially between par-ents and students. We’re hoping with this information, we’ll also be able to train kids in the world of technology.”

Last year, the Ministry of Chil-dren and Family Development de-cided that some of the regular men-tal health programming funding for Hope Community Services would be used to develop an anti-bullying

project for the entire school district in 2012. Partnering with the Social Jus-tice 12 class allowed them to develop appropriate survey questions that youth would relate to.

“We want to develop a series of resources with information that is stated in such a way that youth will listen to it and practice it when need-ed,” said Maclynne Bourquin, Hope Community Services executive di-rector. “We also want to increase the number of youth that do not sit on the sidelines when others are being bullied and provide youth with skills/resources when they experience bul-lying, or when assisting their friends who are being bullied.”

Word from theBEAT

The Christmas season is a time for love and laughter, but it can also be a very stressful time for families. There are many triggers over the holidays that can lead to domestic violence, including increased alcohol consumption at social gatherings, and family pressures and stresses with over-scheduling and over-committing. Finances and overspending can be also be a major trigger for domestic violence at this time of year.

However, there are several coping strategies that can be used to soothe the stress and eliminate the pos-sibility of domestic violence. Have family discussions regarding � nances long before the season is upon you and stick to the family budget. Always know your limit with alcohol as increased alcohol consumption can lead to arguments that may not otherwise occur. Dis-cuss in advance how your time during the holidays is going to be spent and with whom.

The most important tip to be aware of in domestic violence situations is to know when you are not safe and to seek help immediately. Some local support agencies are: Hope/Boston Bar Victim Services (604-869-7750), Hope and Area Transition Society (604-869-5111), and Hope Community Services (604-869-2466). If there is any violence or threats of violence made, please contact your local RCMP or call 911.

One of the many good things about quitting smoking is that your body starts to recover right away. Within half a day, carbon monoxide levels will be much lower. A year later, the risk of having a heart attack will be cut in half. It’s coming up to New Year’s resolution time and if you become a non-smoker. you will have a longer and healthier life.

People who have high blood pressure, should have a blood pressure testing device at home. Recording the results in a journal can help your doctor see how you are doing between appointments.

Also try taking your blood pressure in both arms each time. Sometime, varying pressures in each arm could indicate the beginnings of blood vessel disease.

There has been research done on a male contraceptive product. It is a gel to be applied to the skin and results are good. There seems to be a market for the product but the pharmaceutical companies aren’t that excited about it.

A simple symptom like dry mouth can cause problems. Besides discomfort, it can contribute to tooth and gum

disease. It can accompany some diseases like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, hypertension and Parkinson’s disease. Some aids to dry mouth include keeping body hydration up, breathing in through nose more than mouth, quitting smoking and using a fluoride toothpaste.

Our pharmacists are familiar with over-the-counter products that can help dry mouth. We’d be happy to discuss them with you.

School board considers French immersionJessica Peters Black Press

Being bilingual can open doors to new opportunities for Canadian youth.

But at the moment, there are no French immersion pro-grams in the Fraser Cascade school district.

Agassiz parent Colin Fish-er is hoping to change that. He recently approached the school board, in the hopes that they would consider bringing in an immersion program.

The board was receptive to Fisher’s idea, and agreed to put the idea out to other par-ents as a first step.

If there is enough interest in the program, the board would then consider taking it a step further to begin creating a

program.“I certainly would support

your efforts,” trustee Al Fra-ser told Fisher. “I believe in everyone having a second lan-guage.”

Fisher and his young fam-ily moved here from a small town in Alberta, where French immersion is very popular.

He was sur-prised upon moving here to find he would have to bus his young children to Chilliwack to be immersed in French. While he doesn’t consider himself fully fluent, as a feder-al government worker Fisher

has a working knowledge of French.

“I’ve also traveled around a lot extensively in my younger years, and I was shocked by the amount of people who spoke more than one language,” said

Fisher.“Opportuni-

ties expand ex-ponentially as soon as you have that second lan-guage,” he said.

He is currently on parental leave and hoping to do something

positive for his children, with his time away from work. He’s been talking to other parents in the area who have expressed the same interest.

“While I don’t really expect it to happen soon, it would be nice to see us try,” he said.

Chilliwack School District has a late immersion program, starting at Grade 6. Fisher is hoping to see an early immer-sion program.

More options in the school district means there are fewer reasons for students to bus into Chilliwack, and would boost the district’s student population. But finding French immersion teachers is not an easy task, said Stan Wa-tchorn, director of education.

To get a program started, there would need to be about 22 students.

To discuss the program, contact Fisher at [email protected].

Quilts donated to victim services Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

The Hope Quilters are spread-ing some holiday cheer this month.

The club has donated a dozen handmade quilts to Hope/Bos-ton Bar Victim Services, which will be used by staff when dealing with people, primarily children, who have gone through trauma. The organization doesn’t have the funds to purchase quilts through-out the year and relies solely on donations.

“It’s warm and meant to of-fer some comfort,” said program manager Marianne Breuckert. “It’s incredibly powerful with the children. It’s a tangible thing they can look at and hold onto.”

The Hope Quilters is made up of about a dozen members, who meet on the first and third Thurs-day of each month at 10 a.m. at

345 Raab St. A love for fabric and friendship continues to draw women to the creative, relaxing hobby. The club, which started in 1996, is always looking for new members.

The Hope Quilters get involved

with a charity project every year, and have previously donated to Hope Search and Rescue, Cana-dian Red Cross, Fraser Canyon Hospital auxiliary, Fraser Canyon Hospice Society, and the Hope & Area Transition Society.

Clean LNG can still be done

On Friday, as the federal govern-ment was giving the green light to a Malaysian investment of billions more into northern B.C.’s liquefied natural gas megaproject, Coastal First Nations chiefs held their quar-terly board meeting in Vancouver.

These are now the most powerful aboriginal leaders in North Ameri-ca, bankrolled by U.S. environmen-tal groups and their wealthy charity foundation backers as guardians of the Great Bear Rainforest.

A major topic was the Haisla Nation, the Kitimat partner that abruptly quit its voluntary asso-ciation with the Haida, Gitga’at and other communities over its plans to develop LNG exports.

This discord comes at a bad time.

Premier Christy Clark has bet heav-ily on LNG, not just for her govern-ment’s future, but the industrial and economic direction of the province for decades to come.

Initial press reports were mis-leading. One had it that Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, the B.C. government’s key ally on LNG, was “buddying up” with the Harper gov-ernment on the Enbridge oil pipe-line proposed to go to Kitimat, in the heart of Coastal First Nations territory.

Not so. Both Ross and Coastal First Nations executive director Art Sterritt confirmed to me that they remain solidly against the Enbridge proposal. The disagreement is over how to power the processing of LNG, which the Haisla are pioneer-ing with provincial assistance.

Sterritt said the Haisla and the rest of the group were in agree-ment until a few weeks ago. The plan was to follow Clark’s solemn vow to make B.C. LNG the “green-

est” in the world.All parties acknowledge that

some of B.C.’s shale gas will have to be burned to process and ship LNG to Asia. The initial idea was that one or two natural gas-fired power plants would be built, eventually

backing up wind, small hydro and other renewable supplies. BC Hydro has 600 megawatts available from its dams, which would require new transmission capacity up to Kiti-mat to help run the first two LNG

plants proposed in partnership with the Haisla.

Then the play got bigger. The B.C. government transferred Crown land on Douglas Channel to the Haisla for an LNG project planned by Shell, PetroChina and Korea Gas. And Sterritt said he started getting signals from Victoria that the indus-try doesn’t want to buy power from outside producers to drive LNG cooling and compression. Instead they wanted to power it directly with gas, using equipment called “mechanical drives” rather than electrical drives.

In a letter to Haisla members ex-plaining why he quit the Coastal First Nations, Ross said he was insulted by Sterritt’s comments that the Haisla were choosing “the dirtiest way possible” to ship LNG. Ross noted that emissions would be about the same if gas is burned in the LNG plant or in a power plant nearby.

That’s true, but Sterritt points out

a critical difference. If LNG produc-ers are allowed to use single-pur-pose mechanical drives, no renew-able energy can ever be added. And as more LNG producers rush into B.C., reserves that would have lasted 75 to 100 years could be depleted in 30.

And when the gas is gone?“These big, hulking plants that are

going to be in Kitimat are just going to be sitting there, rotting,” Sterritt said. “It happens all over the world.”

B.C.’s clean energy plan envisions extending the BC Hydro grid, devel-oping run-of-river and wind farms such as the big offshore proposal off Haida Gwaii, and ultimately a future beyond oil and gas.

Now, in their rush to develop LNG, Clark and Energy Minister Rich Coleman seem poised to aban-don that strategy.

OpinionPublished at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

Ever-increasing taxesMany people wonder why they have such perpetual empty pockets. There is mini-

mal price inflation, interest rates are low, yet at the end of most weeks, there is little left over for extras.

There are several possible explanations, and one of them may surprise some peo-ple.

While some suggest that more people need to be financially literate, that is only a part of the puzzle. A lack of wage growth for most working people, other than gov-ernment workers, is another part of the puzzle, but again it only explains a portion of the problem.

Perhaps the missing link in the puzzle, which isn’t properly explained, is just how inflation is calculated. According to the Bank of Canada, the official inflation rate is based on a basket of consumer goods, including food, shelter, furniture, clothing, transportation and recreation.

The federal government has been keeping track of prices on that basis since 1914. The first real inflation in Canada took place during the First World War, when prices rose to higher levels because of wartime shortages.

Canadians were hit brutally by inflation in the 1970s and 1980s. At one time, in-terest rates were over 20 per cent — and inflation was close to 14 per cent annually.

Those days are long past us now. Inflation has been at low rates for years, and interest rates are much the same. As a result, people have borrowed more money than ever — much of it to buy homes. Nowhere is that more true than in the Lower Mainland.

Interest costs are thus draining a good portion of peoples’ incomes. But the fact that inflation isn’t being calculated on some of our costs may be an even bigger fac-tor behind our empty pockets. Low official inflation rates mean employers don’t feel the need to give wage increases and governments feel there is plenty of taxing room.

Taxes are not considered inflationary. Thus steady jumps in medical service pre-miums in B.C. are of no consequence. Nor was the HST, which added tax to many items that formerly only had the GST applied.

In recent years, the biggest contributors to our empty wallets are governments. But they get away with it, because there’s minimal “inflation.”

Re: Pipeline project has positive impact, Letters (Dec. 5)

I also attended the Kinder Mor-gan Trans Mountain public infor-mation session held on Nov. 28 in the gym of C.E. Barry school. Yes, I found it informative, however, I also found the presentation mis-leading, especially the poster which depicted an aerial view drawing of the existing pipeline route which neglected to show the pipeline crossing the Coquihalla River.

To anyone who is not familiar with this area, they would be lead to believe that the Coquihalla River

starts near the Hope Golf Course! When Kinder Morgan represen-

tatives were asked simple direct questions, they quickly enlisted an ‘expert’ well-rehearsed in avoiding answering sensitive questions.

For example, the upgrading of the existing pipeline to today’s safe-ty standards with particular refer-ence to C.S.A. Code Z662 and the National Energy Board regulation which stipulate that shutoff valves are to be installed at river crossings and the thickness of pipelines un-der river crossings be increased to twice the thickness.

Mr. Rowe’s letter outlines the positive financial impact the Kind-er Morgan expansion would have with the District of Hope, but ne-glected to mention any of the po-tential negative economic impacts that our community would endure in the event of an oil spill, specifi-cally in the hospitality and tourist sectors along with deflated prop-erty values.

Say goodbye to the estimated $222 per household that Mr. Rowe projected. And let’s not forget to mention the devastating negative environmental impact an oil spill

could have to our water supply, wildlife and fish habitats.

The question remains, why is Kinder Morgan allowed to trans-port bitumen and other oil prod-ucts through an old pipeline that, by today’s more stringent safety standards, would be deemed inad-equate and would never have pro-cured a licence by the N.E.B.?

Personally, I feel a town hall ques-tion and answer forum would pro-vide the public access to a more bal-anced and realistic view of Kinder Morgan’s intentions.

In B.C., for the sec-ond time this year, the Liberal government has increased its defi-

cit forecast. The B.C. deficit will now in-crease to $1.47 billion by the end of March 2013.

Yet, Liberal finance minister Mike de Jong claims that in less than five weeks earlier, he will forecast a bal-anced budget for 2013.

This is “voodoo eco-nomics” in the least and massive misrepre-

sentation in the worst. As Carole James has pointed out, this bal-anced budget assump-tion is based on com-ing up with “magical monies.” How is this possible? Carole re-ferred to the concept of “selling the farm”- which means that monies will be raised by selling of assets that are already owned by

the people of British Columbia.

This is one of the oldest tricks in the book for self-styled “capitalists” who find it so easy to preach against so-called “so-cialists.” You sim-ply take the taxpayer owned property, sell it off and then you can claim that you bal-anced the budget. You

are not creating wealth through your free en-terprise system – you are selling off the farm to pay your debts.

This emphasizes what many clear-thinkers have been say-ing for years, that the B.C. Liberals are much less fiscally respon-sible than they claim to be. If an NDP gov-ernment were doing

this, the media would be screaming bloody murder; yet, when the Liberals do it, you hear barely a whimper from the media outlets in this province.

So, come March, when the B.C. Liberals claim to be balancing the budget, please keep this in mind.

Roy Morrow was my idol – always positive, smiling, friendly and a successful business-man.

Roy became my idol when I was in my 20s. My dad Curly Gardner asked Roy to get me in

the Lions Club, which he did. Dad thought I was a little too wild and figured this could help my wildness. For about 10 years, I trav-elled with these lions golfing, curling and on club visitations.

I asked Roy how he became so successful.

“Hire great people,” he said, noting Neil Martin, Bob High and Don Skea.

For the last 10 years, Roy came to the garage once a week. He walked

through the front door and said hello to ev-eryone. I regret very much that I sometimes was too busy to talk – friends before business.

Roy’s how to live to

be 92 solution – marry a great gal, come home to no stress, smile and always be positive. I will miss Roy very much.

Saying goodbye to a good friend and idol

There will always be zoos, which means closing our zoo in Aldergrove will only allow a different facility to buy its stock.

Many of the animals in the zoo were injured or pets that could not be released into the wild.

I think kids and adults realize their impact on the environment when they actually see what it is effecting. I know after seeing the majesty of a lion or strength of the grizzly that it speaks to me more than a picture on some bro-chure trying to raise funds.

I think it’s a great way for kids to learn.These are not like the archaic days. They are not small metal and cement pad

cages. They have nice enclosures with suitable stimuli and proper diets.Zoos can serve a greater purpose than just entertainment.They can educate the public and provide care and homes for exotic animals

that are in need.Zoos can take in the animals but it costs to care for them. Thus we are charged

an admission. Also, many zoos have a breeding program for near-extinct spe-cies. Do you think we should just let animals go extinct? I think that would be so sad. After all, they are only going extinct from us hunting or destroying their land, but I guess we don’t owe that to them.

Province fumbles release of missing women inquiry report

Robert FreemanBlack Press

Marilyn Renata has been waiting 15 years to see justice done for her step-daughter, Cynthia Feliks, whose DNA was found on serial killer Robert Pickton’s farm.

Feliks was also among the 20 cases of missing women that Crown lawyers decided not to pursue in court after Pickton was found guilty of murdering six women.

And now it appears the B.C. government won’t give the fam-ilies of the missing women an in-person delivery of a commis-sion of inquiry’s report before it’s released to the public via the Internet on Dec. 17.

“To deny us the opportunity of being at the report’s release is another knife in our hearts,” said Renata, a Rosedale resi-dent.

“The inquiry cost several millions of dollars,” she added. “Mostly spent on the attorneys for the Vancouver City police and the RCMP and the salary of the commission lawyers.”

“To say that they won’t spend the money to put us up in a hotel for one night so we can be there on Dec. 17 to see the report being released is tanta-mount to saying that ‘we aren’t

worth the money,’” she said.But a ministry spokesman

said Friday that details of the re-lease are still being worked out, which suggests the government may yet release the report to the families in an in-person setting and cover their travel expenses to Vancouver.

Attorney-General Shirley Bond issued a statement Thurs-day saying the families will have “confidential access” via a secure website to the 1,448-page report at 9 a.m. Dec. 17. At 1 p.m. the report will be live-streamed for public access.

“We certainly understand how difficult this process has been for the families, and we want to be as accommodating as possible while working within the requirements of the Public Inquiry Act,” Bond said.

“We understand the fami-lies may have different needs,” Bond said in a statement, “and in addressing those, we are still in discussions with them on ar-rangements for the day of re-lease to ensure we are being as accommodating as possible.”

Ernie Crey, brother to Dawn Crey, whose DNA was also found on Pickton’s farm, said the 9 a.m. release hardly gives the families enough time to ab-sorb the report’s content before

it’s released to the general pub-lic.

Crey is asking Premier Chris-ty Clark to “step in and direct that the final report be released not only on the Internet, but also in an in-person setting to the families, Inquiry partici-pants and the press.”

The Assembly of First Nations is also taking Clark to task for the “silent release” of the Miss-ing Women Commission of In-quiry report.

“We call on you, as the repre-sentative of the citizens of B.C. to release the MWCI report in a manner that honors the dignity of murdered women who lost their lives, seventy-seven chil-dren left behind and respects the families impacted by one of the most notorious crimes against humanity,” AFN Na-tional Chief Shawn Atleo wrote in a letter to Clark.

Renata said she will be “shocked” if the report doesn’t criticize the police for their mishandling of the investiga-tion and their failure to iden-tify Pickton earlier as a suspect, which might have saved the lives of some of the missing women.

“The investigation was a joke, as the report should acknowl-edge,” she said. “Our waiting for justice hasn’t occurred as yet.”

Corporate success driving

community events

Business

Last Friday was a show-case of volunteerism and holiday spirit as our com-munity enjoyed a winter carnival in the park and moonlight madness - two events that together made a memorable evening for many families, including my own. The retail busi-ness participants were ob-vious; however less appar-ent business contributions provide equally critical support to this and other community initiatives.

The bustle of Christ-mas shoppers at the Cat’s Meow, the glow of neon open signs from businesses along 6th Avenue, Wallace Street, 3rd Ave-nue, and the rest of the downtown combined with the colourful lights of the Hope Towing hayride and the magnetic pull of the inflat-able games in Memorial Park to announce the arrival of the Christmas shop-ping season in Hope.

After my own family’s shopping was done, and “the tinies” were relatively safe careening down the crazy carpet run in Memo-rial Park, I had the oppor-tunity to speak with some of the businesses who con-tribute not only to these events but to many others. Tri-West Contracting and Talarico Excavating con-tributed staff time, equip-ment, and planning that made the snow hill a real-ity on Friday - and this isn’t the only event that these Hope-based companies sponsor in our community.

Hope Motor Sports Group boasts many cor-porate members including Tri-West Contracting (Jim Lasser), Talarico Excavat-ing (James Talarico), Rusty Nuts Mechanical (Dusty Smith), Silver Skagit Heavy Duty (Wayne Smith), and Lordco Auto Parts (Scott Medlock).

Together, those com-panies contribute tens of thousands of dollars to events such as the Summer Smash, Show and Shine, and Brigade Days - events that in turn drive tens of thousands of dollars worth of consumer spending in our community.

The Group also con-tributes time, money, and resources to the Sixth Av-enue Sports Bowl - a piece

of community infrastruc-ture used by many groups and events. That particular park will soon benefit from the Group’s perspicacious $45,000 investment in sur-plus no post guard rails from the Port Mann Bridge which will ensure the com-munity grant for those up-grades will go even further – benefiting not only the motorsports events but the many other upgrades pro-posed for that key commu-nity facility. (You can go to www.hopecommunityp-ark.ca for more informa-tion on that project.)

Most of these companies are not often heard of in

Hope, as they do their busi-ness out of town, or because they are tucked away far from the re-tail core. Their relative obscu-rity belies the fact they are key money import-ers, economic engines, and ambassadors for our community.

Their out-of-town con-tracts bring profits back to local employees and sup-pliers, and their profes-sional service to businesses and individuals through-out the Fraser Valley and beyond reflects on all of us.

As we celebrate the buy-local flavour of moonlight madness, the availability of evening shopping, and the hard work of our local re-tail outlets, it is important to remember that not all local businesses have store fronts and shiny consumer products destined for a prominent spot under the tree. Industrial services in construction, transporta-tion, pipelines, and road building have a strong presence in our commu-nity providing needed jobs, services, and much more – lets ensure they also receive proper credit for what they do. A simple thank you will go a long way next time you see one of these owners, employ-ees, or neighbours in the grocery line.

AdvantageHOPE salutes the contribution of all lo-cal businesses and looks forward to a successful and collaborative 2013.

History in HopeCommunity

Residents thinking about making the move to clean transportation have another reason to go electric, thanks to new vehicle charging stations being installed in Hope

and Boston Bar.The Fraser Valley Re-

gional District has re-ceived funding from the province’s Community Charging Infrastructure (CCI) Fund to help pur-

chase and install two Level 2 (240-volt) charg-ing stations at the Hope & District Recreation Centre (1005 6th Ave.) and one at Canyon Lanes in Boston Bar (47585

Trans Canada Highway).The CCI Fund is man-

aged, administered and promoted by the Fraser Basin Council. The sta-tions will be installed by March 31, 2013.

For the second time in three days, the Chilliwack Chiefs blew a lead on home ice, dropping a 3-2 decision to the Co-quitlam Express last Wednesday at Pros-pera Centre.

In a game that was disturbingly simi-lar to the Dec. 2 meltdown versus Trail, the Chiefs looked great early and awful for the rest, losing to Coquitlam for the first time this season and dropping their record to 19-8-1-1.

The only thing close in the first period of this one was the score.

Chilliwack dominated the opening frame, but only led 1-0 through 20 min-utes on a goal by Spencer Graboski.

The 19-year-old scored at 11:30, with linemate Trevor Hills doing a lot of work to set him up. After some good board work by Tanner Cochrane in the right corner, Hills nabbed the puck and

moved behind the Coquitlam net.He came out the left side, then went

back and came out the right side. He went back and came out the left side again with a shot on Express netminder Cole Huggins. The goalie made the stop, but Graboski knocked in the rebound for his sixth of the season.

Shots on goal through 20 minutes fa-voured the Chiefs 16-5.

Things fell apart in a middle frame oddly reminiscent of the second period collapse versus Trail on Dec. 2. Again, it was a costly gaffe that turned the game.

On Dec. 2, it was Josh Halpenny giv-ing the puck away behind the Chilliwack net.

Last Wednesday, it was Ben Israel coughing up the puck on a Chiefs power play. The first-year defenceman lost it at the Chilliwack blueline and watched Brandon Morley take off on a break-away. With plenty of time to plot strat-egy, Morley went to the backhand, slip-

ping the puck through the legs of Chiefs netminder Mitch Gillam to tie the score at 1-1.

Coquitlam’s John Siemer had a good period two.

The California native almost had a goal when he dipsy-doodled around Cooper Rush on a solo dash. Gillam robbed Morley on the rebound to keep it tied.

But on Siemer’s next shift, he did the same thing to Ben Masella and fed a cross-crease pass to Mitch Nardi, who put the puck upstairs for his fifth of the year.

Three minutes later, Cal Hofford put a seeing-eye point shot past Gillam to put the Express up 3-1.

Shots on goal reflected the lopsided play, favouring the visitors 19-10.

Making matters worse, Josh Hansen literally crawled off the ice at the end of the middle frame, and did not return for the start of the third.

He never returned, and Hills moved up to the top line, leaving the Chiefs without their top goal scorer.

Chilliwack had a bit more jump in the final frame, and put 20 pucks on net, but the two-goal hole proved too deep.

The Chiefs made it a somewhat excit-ing finish, closing the gap to 3-2 with just under two minutes left. A Shay Lau-rent point shot came off the end boards to Hills, who punched it home for his seventh of the year.

Gillam came to the bench with less than a minute left, and Chilliwack had an offensive zone faceoff with 16.9 ticks remaining, but the Express cleared the zone and escaped with the W.

The three stars were Huggins (first), Gillam (second) and Hills (third).The Fortis BC Energy Player of the Game was Hills. Announced attendance was 1,709.

The Chiefs take on the Nanaimo Clip-pers on Friday at Prospera Centre at 7 p.m.

GOD’S GREATEST GIFT

Abbotsford Heat’s 3-2 win snaps three-game skidHorak’s heroics sink Marlies

Roman Horak’s power-play goal late in the third period lifted the Abbotsford Heat to a 3-2 road victory over the Toronto Marlies on Sunday.

The Marlies had rallied from a two-goal deficit in the final frame, but with Toronto defenceman Paul Ranger in the penalty box, Horak col-lected a rebound off Ben Walter’s initial shot and put a shot past goalie Ben Scrivens

with 2:35 remain-ing in regulation.

The Heat (14-4-5, 33 points) snapped a three-game losing streak and moved back into first place in the AHL overall standings. Toronto (13-9-1, 27 points) sits second in the North Division behind Ab-botsford.

Second-period goals by Max Re-inhart and Ben Street had staked the Heat to a 2-0 lead, but the Marlies battled back to knot the score on strikes by Greg McKegg and Brad Ross.

Walter, who missed the previous three games with an

undisclosed injury, notched two assists in his return, while Abby goalie Barry Brust stopped 16 of 18 shots for his eighth victory in nine starts this season.

The Heat visit the Roch-ester Americans on Tuesday before returning home for a Friday-Saturday set against the Texas Stars (7 p.m. both nights, Abbotsford Enter-tainment and Sports Centre).

Sports

Heat to host teddy bear tossFriday’s game vs. the

Texas Stars marks the Heat’s second annual teddy bear toss, which benefits the Abbotsford Christmas Bureau.

Fans are encouraged to bring a new or gen-tly used stuffed toy to toss on the ice after the

home team's first goal of the night.

The teddy bears will be collected and donat-ed to Abbotsford fami-lies in need.

Last year, the Abbots-ford Christmas Bureau helped 837 families, in-cluding 1,419 children

and 65 seniors. Approximately half

of the families were sponsored, and the oth-er half came directly to the food bank to collect their Christmas food hampers and gifts.

Heat president Ryan Walter said the teddy

bear toss event is part of making Abbotsford "a better place to live."

"This spirit of giving is incredibly important during the holiday sea-son," he said.

The weekend also features a two-for-one ticket deal. When fans

purchase a ticket for the teddy bear toss game, they get a free ticket to Saturday’s game.

If they cannot at-tend, they can donate the ticket to the United Way and give a Christ-mas outing to a family in need.

HUNSBEDTStephen Norman“Loved, Honoured and

Respected”It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ste-phen Norman Hunsbedt on Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at Fraser Canyon Hospi-tal at the age of 71. Born in Duncan BC, January 20, 1941, he was the fi rst of four children to Alma & Irven Hunsbedt. Stephen spent his early years in Shawnigan Lake and in 1954 he moved to Vavenby BC with his family. Stephen stayed in the Vavenby area where he started his logging career at 17. A few years lat-er, he met and married Marga-ret, March 31, 1962. Stephen and Margaret started their family and had three children while living in the Vavenby area until 1971. During that summer they moved to Hope where Stephen began a new Cat Logging job for G&F Log-ging. Stephen spent the rest of his career as owner opera-tor of Hunsbedt Logging, a ca-reer he had a huge love and passion for. Stephen and Margaret stayed in Hope after retiring.Over the years, Stephen joined The Lion’s Club, Ducks Unlimited and coached base-ball. With the love of his life, they travelled extensively to many sunny destinations that had to have a Casino with a great card game. Stephen’s love for a great poker game sometimes came second to ocean, creek, lake or river fi sh-ing as it was a toss up to what he should participate in. Al-ways the family man, many huge get-togethers with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, Stephen will forever live in our hearts and be deeply missed by so many.He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Margaret; daughter Lynda, son James (LeeAnne), daughter Sharran; 5 grandchil-dren, Stephen (Serena), Brian, Larissa, Alexia and Kraig; 3 great grandchildren, Ebony, Roy and Jamie-Lynn; brother Stan (Diane); sisters Gayle (Mike) and Cathy (Jim) and many nieces and nephews. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Greggain, Dr. Switzer, Mura-kami Clinic and all the fabu-lous staff at FCH.A Memorial Tea will be held from 1 to 4 pm on Thursday, December 13, 2012 at Hope Golf Course, 900 Golf Course Rd, Hope. In lieu of fl owers, memorial donations may be made in Stephen’s name to SNYP (spay neuter your pet), Box 578, Hope BC V0X 1L0 or to FCH Auxiliary, Box 933, Hope BC V0X 1L0.
