WALK WELL FOOTCARE

We hear much about bowel cancer

in the media lately. Those in the

under 50 age group often don’t

pay too much attention to this

information because somehow

bowel cancer is thought of as “an

old person’s disease”. Bowel

cancer can affect about 20% of

people under 50. So if you have

abdominal pain, blood in your

stools or notice a change in your

bowel habits, see your doctor.

As of January 2016, Health

Canada is introducing changes

in the labeling of homeopathic

“nosodes”. These are being sold

as an alternative to vaccinations.

There is no evidence they work to

protect against diseases and in fact

will make children more susceptible

to disease if they are not being

vaccinated.

Speaking of vaccinations, measles

is starting to rear its head again.

Stats Canada reported that 89%

of 2-year olds had received

the recommended number of

immunizations agains measles,

mumps and rubella in 2013. For

best protection of Canadians, this

number should be 95% to prevent

any outbreaks from occurring.

Ensure your children received all

the recommended vaccinations.

The words “herd immunity”

describes the ideal number of

individuals in a given population

who have immunity through

vaccination or previous exposure

to confer protection to those who

aren’t immunized. This herd

immunity will prevent a contagious

bacteria or virus from setting up a

chain of infection.

If you have any questions about

immunization, check with our

pharmacists. We have the

reliable information to keep you

well-informed.

Brendan McAleer writes stories about cars, but it was his pho-tography that recently won the Agassiz-raised auto journalist praise from his industry.

McAleer won first place in Pirelli’s pho-tography prize for published images, an award of the 2015 Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s (AJAC) annual journal-ism awards.

“Photography is just something I learned to help fill out the writing side, as I'm often out on assignment by myself,” he said.

Good writing is what the Vancouver-based stor yteller is most proud of, but “the best pieces are of course those that incorporate both,” he added.

The photo that won McAleer the award is a sunset silhouette on the racetrack at the 30th Nismo (Nissan Motorsports) festival at Fuji Raceway just out-side of Tokyo.

“They were positioning the cars after a couple of victory laps, and I happened to turn, catch the fading light just right, and line up the track marshall, the car, and the 30th anniver-sary Nissan banner,” the young journalist said, though he credits some luck as well.

McAleer started writing for community newspapers about 10 years ago and worked his way up to work with Postmedia pub-lications, including the Vancouver Sun and the National Post.

He also contributes to Road & Track and various Canadian and U.S. automotive websites.

And though McAleer loves cars, it’s the people that make the stories he tells.

“Cars are only interesting because of the human element, and this year I've been lucky enough to tell a couple of great stories,” McAleer said.

He listed some of his favourites from 2015: how Jack Lord's stunt double ended up with the Mercury Marquis from Hawaii 5-0; how a little Honda Civic helped a Japanese woman become a new Canadian; how a couple of English hot rods represent a pair of brothers (one near the end of his life); how a Datsun 510 embodies the service-minded spirit of the veteran who sold the most poppies of anyone in Canada; and how Terry Fox's sup-port van still survives today.

McAleer grew up with British cars in the family—a Land Rover and an MGB—that they were constantly needing to

“wrench” to keep them on the road.“Two cars like that, you either get the automotive bug or you

buy a Prius and never look back,” he said.That interest has grown into a successful career for McAleer

who said it isn’t easy to get paid for auto journalism.There are plenty of publications that will take free work, but

it takes time to earn a living from the craft.Some of his former peers have even left journalism to find

work in product planning for the big automakers, working on behind-the-scenes kit McAleer and his like have to wait to write about.

But he enjoys doing what he does, and credits his success to a work ethic inspired by his father’s words: “chance favours the prepared mind.”

McAleer recognizes that hard work produces the kind of “luck” that aligned all of the elements of his award-winning photo.

“Getting the award was great, the accolade from my col-leagues, but it's more important to me to get a short email from a reader saying nothing more than ‘good job,’ he said. “It's a privilege to have an audience, and that's something I try to remember.”

He hopes that audience will one day see a feature article with his byline on the cover of Road & Track. He’s been a reader of the magazine since his childhood in Agassiz, where he said there might still be a few Hot Wheels buried in the backyard of his family’s old house.

Auto journalist wins praise

Brendan McAleer is an auto writer who grew up with British Cars. He recently won an award for the 2015 Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s (AJAC) annual journalism awards.

What a fabulous Purple Light Nights month we had this year. Our annual tree lighting event had over 150 people present and we were able to include the dedication of the beautiful carving in the park to commemorate those who have been impacted by domestic violence and to remember those who have lost their lives . This year the month of October saw increased involvement from the community in special activities and events to help raise awareness. Thank you to all of those involved. There are countless others who may not be named here but helped to make this campaign the success it was. Please continue to check out our Face Book page “Purple Lights of Hope” as we will keep the site active.

The head of B.C.'s refugee resettlement effort says the generosity of residents towards incoming Syrians is "overwhelming" and he's relieved the federal government has set a more cautious pace for the transfers.

Chris Friesen now estimates 400 Syrian refugees will arrive in B.C. in December and expects anoth-er 1,500 in January and February, in line with the federal government's revised goal of bringing in an additional 25,000 before March.

"Now we've got a month or so to catch our breath, thank goodness," said Friesen, the director of settlement services for the Immigrant Services Society of B.C., which is federally contracted to assist government-sponsored refugees.

He said the magnitude of the response in B.C. is stunning. "This has become the great Canadian national project," Friesen said.

"Syrians are for today's generation what the Vietnamese boat people were to the baby boomers. In the decades to come, we will look back at 2015-2016 as an historic moment in Canadian history when Canadians embraced a humanitarian crisis and responded in untold ways."

Offers of temporary and permanent housing, employment and myriad donations have been flooding in, from donors as diverse as inner city kindergarten classes and seniors homes to Jewish synagogues and Sikh businessmen.

An 18-unit apartment building in Vancouver's West End that had been slated for demolition has been offered up by developer Ian Gillespie.

"He's turned it over on his dime – fully furnished with telephones, computers –  for up to the end of March so we can get through this crunch period," Friesen said.

Refugees will stay in temporary accommoda-tions like that for a couple of weeks, get oriented, find permanent housing and rotate out as new Syrians arrive.

The top priority now is finding the permanent

homes, many of which are expected to be in more affordable Metro Vancouver cities such as Surrey and Coquitlam.

Indo-Canadian developer Daljit Thind, an immi-grant himself, has offered several well-appointed permanent apartments on Kingsway in Vancouver at welfare rates, far below what they could fetch.

Friesen likens the operation underway to sud-denly trying to host the Olympics with next to no notice. "We've got over 3,500 volunteers. Close to 800 housing leads. A hundred and something employers wanting to offer first jobs in Canada," he said. "We've got grandmothers knitting toques and scarves and gloves," Friesen said. "We had a seven-year-old who gave his $2 allowance. A 13-year-old who gave his birthday party money –  instead of collecting gifts he basically took money from his friends and gave it to us. It's unbelievable."

The Immigrant Services Society has helped recruit volunteer, housing and job offers through its website (www.issbc.org) and it also takes finan-cial donations to help fund private refugee spon-sorships.

Inconvenient truths of climate change

Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Mary Polak have joined the thousands of jet-setters in Paris to once again stage negotiations for a global cli-mate treaty.

The embarrassing failures of these United Nations events, such as the one in Lima, Peru last year, have been forgotten. Canadian TV only showed file images of an effigy of Stephen Harper receiving a “fossil of the day” award for his alleged failure to rein in Canada’s two per cent of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions.

Now Justin Trudeau leads our biggest-ever delegation to COP21, as the Paris meeting is called.

Trudeau hasn’t even begun to develop a plan for Canada, asking provinces to come up with their own first, but he’s already hailed as a visionary. This is similar to the newly elected Barack Obama, who modestly predicted in 2008 that history would record his win as “the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.”

Perhaps Obama wasn’t com-pletely full of CO2, since in this century, global temperatures have increased by only about a fourth of what UN climate models pre-dicted. This 20-year slowdown of the long run of post-Ice Age warming, which has dominated most of the last 10,000 years, is referred to as the “pause” or “hiatus.” It is usually explained away with reference to the Pacific Decadal Oscillation or other long-term warming and cooling trends in oceans.

Other countries have put new emission reduction proposals on the table for COP21. Danish environmental economist Bjorn Lomborg did the math, and con-cluded that if every major emit-ting country keeps its word this time, the total of all their efforts would reduce global warming by about 0.2 degrees by 2100.

What? A statistically meaning-less decrease after 85 years of energy austerity? That Lomborg, he’s just a “denier,” trying to get more publicity. Oh wait, here’s a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that finds the same thing – two tenths of a degree by 2100.

Wobbly climate models aren’t the only problem for glob-al warming alarmists. NASA recently confirmed that contrary to UN projections, total ice mass in Antarctica is increasing. This is much more likely to slow sea level

rise than an Obama or Trudeau speech.

Arctic ice, meanwhile, is rebounding rapidly after receding in recent years. And while UN cli-mate conferences always cause a spike in sightings of people wear-ing polar bear suits, here’s another inconvenient truth.

B.C. polar bear researcher Susan Crockford reports that the world bear population is up to 26,500, a 50-year high. That Crockford, she’s just a denier…. Oh wait, the International Union for Conservation of Nature “Red List” says that’s about right, and the population trend is no longer “decreasing” but is now “unknown.”

None of this is to deny that our climate is warming, or that the Industrial Revolution and carbon fuel use are part of the picture. It’s the religious zeal, misuse of data and attacks on skeptics that are

troubling.B.C. already leads the country

with its small but broad-based carbon tax, about which Clark will boast at every opportu-nity in Paris. We won’t see the B.C. Liberal government’s final “Climate 2.0” plan until next spring, but their advisory com-mittee wants to start jacking up the carbon tax in 2018.

Northern and Interior B.C. folks are assured they will receive bigger rebates to reflect the fact that they pay more carbon tax to drive long distances in the cold.

And B.C.’s aggressive 2020 greenhouse gas target? The gov-ernment admits we’re not going to make that, because the econo-my is growing.

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

Caution on the roadIt still feels weird to be driving home from work in the dark.Though we’ve had a few weeks to adjust to the end of Daylight

Savings Time it is sometimes still a shock to get out of work and see the stars overhead.

We also haven’t had to really adjust yet to winter weather. We can count on one hand the number of times we’ve had to scrape the frost off the car in the morning.

We’ve experienced a couple of storms now, but until this week the thermometer has stayed decidedly on the mild side.

The rain, though, after this summer’s long drought, is still some-thing to which we are adjusting to.

But it has also, it seems, left us rather unprepared for winter driv-ing.

We’re not entirely sure why it seems the population forgets how to safely drive through the elements when we don’t have to for a few months, but it behooves us all to give ourselves a little primer.

It’s an abrupt and sad reminder of our mortality on the road in our speeding metal boxes.

Sometimes a crash is unavoidable. But there are things that we can do to give ourselves more of a safety cushion out there. And the more people doing those things the safer it is for everyone.

First and foremost, slow down.Speed limits are set for optimal conditions — not in the dark, or

on a road that has frosted overnight, or where water is pooling and catching your tires.

If you don’t know if it has frozen or not, some extra caution just in case never hurt anyone.

Second, leave appropriate stopping space between yourself and the car in front of you so that if they get into trouble, you don’t have to follow. Your hurry is never that important.

Page 7: Hope Standard, December 03, 2015

In light of the recent tragic loss of a young boy I drive more slowly than ever and I remind par-ents to caution children

and teens that with the early dusk-darkness, drivers cannot see them easily.

Today I drove along Cariboo at dusk, and barely missed a couple of young boys flying down with their bikes on the path at the embankment from the Fraser Bridge!

One shot out in front of my car onto Hope

St., where Cariboo Ave. meets it, and if I hadn't been going slowly I shudder to think of the possibilities; then half a second after him, came another one!

I drove alongside the 12 or 13-year old boys and admonished them as they were all over the roads and very fast.  I try not to drive after dark for

this reason. I am a senior and

sometimes it’s hard to see thin young people in black, walking or cycling fast on the wrong side, or zigzagging all around the road.

Please remind your children that they are responsible for their own safety. I have written to District Hall to put up

a railing that prevents cycling down that steep bridge embankment.

A lot of money was put into a bike park across from the Coquihalla Campground so they should go there to have fun.

LettersAbout six years ago I had siding put on my house. During the last windstorm, the strong winds ripped off some of the siding.

I called Jeremy from Precision Exteriors, (who originally installed the siding) on the night of the storm to see when he was available to come and repair damage done by the wind. He said he would get there as soon as he had time available, which ended up being the following day at lunch. After spending an hour repairing the damage I asked

how much I owed, to my surprise there was no charge! His response was he put up the siding six years ago and he

guarantees his work. This is just another example of supporting a local business.

If you need any renovations, I would highly recommend Jeremy from Precision Exteriors. Thank you Jeremy!!

Boundary changes a bureaucratic moveI write this letter with reference to

the Hope Standard News report of Nov. 12 and the self explanatory letter to the editor November 18 by Art Green. I regret,  but feel compelled to write this letter to voice my concerns over the pro-posed electoral  changes, which include the Hope & District being forced into  the Merritt Boundary zone. 

  I am incensed by this apparent dic-tatorial decision,  which appears to be made  primarily for  bureaucratic rea-sons.  The official  government reason we are given for this move is numbers of voters. 

We are presently in the Chilliwack-Hope riding only until  the next election. I as  a taxpayer for the last 50 plus years do not like being referred to and used as a number. I feel I have paid my dues and deserve some respect. 

  Counting numbers can be used in many ways to increase business, deter-mine utilization of products etc. When this change was initially suggested a meet-ing was held,  chaired by someone from the electoral commission to  elicit public opinion on this change; however, this

meeting was poorly advertised and set mid-afternoon when many people were working.

Despite this, Hope residents, who attended were overwhelmingly in favor of remaining in the Chilliwack-Hope elec-toral riding.

It is  believed by many in the commu-nity that the timing of this meeting was deliberately done covertly to prevent a public backlash that a better attended meeting might have provoked.

Realizing we were not being heard our distinguished MLA Laurie Throness was asked to take a petition with over 500 names to the electoral commission on our behalf to try to influence a decision to leave Hope's electoral boundary where it was.

This effort failed with the announce-ment that Hope will be moved to the Merritt/Boundary District when the next election takes place.

  We have nothing against those com-munities  other than we have nothing in common with them.  Hope, on the west side of the Cascades Mountains  has more in common with Chilliwack and the lower

Fraser Valley. We move westward for business, medi-

cal appointments, education, entertain-ment etc; not east into the Similkameen. 

Since Hope joined the Chilliwack elec-toral district, we have had better political coverage by the MLA's, which currently include Laurie Throness and previously John Les and Barry Penner.  Hope voters relate favorably to the Lower Mainland and feel as the "Eastern Fraser Valley" they are part of it.

 I feel this debate is bureaucracy versus democracy;  blind number counters over common sense.

If this change is foisted on  the Hope voting population I feel assured it will  generate a very negative feel-ing against the standing government. We have been told that there  is no appeal possible to this pending decision,  there should be an appeal process, and if there isn't  HEAVEN HELP US.

  J. T. RANDLE

Greg LaychakBlack Press

Biologist David Hancock was only 62 eagles off from his pre-diction last weekend by midday Sunday.

The volunteer board member of the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival roughly guessed last week that he and his team would count 1,500 eagles by Sunday, and the reported number just after lunch was closing in on his forecast at 1,438.

Those eagles were all feeding on salmon within three kilometres of the Harrison Crossing Bridge, and tourists flocked to see them over the weekend at nine designated viewing spots in the area.

At Tapadera Estates, a fire roared, food was served and art-ists worked shapes out of logs with their chainsaws all in celebration of the 20th festival.

But behind all of that activity on the long grass near the Harrison River, visitors with massive cam-era lenses and borrowed tele-scopes stood quietly and watched the natural display flying and feed-ing.

And guests could also get an

up-close sneak peek at an eagle at the OWL orphaned wildlife reha-bilitation society tent.

Children and adults looked on as Sonsie, a 13-year-old male eagle stood within feet of the crowd.

“He likes me, that’s why he’s sitting here nice and calm,” said Rob Hope, an OWL bird care staff member. “The kids love it and that’s our target with the education program.”

The organization aims to Educate children about the birds and how they can help so that future generations will “follow through when we’re long gone,” Hope said.

“Seeing them up close gives them a greater feeling of respect and a different perspective,” he added while Sonsie shifted on his perch.

The society rescued 556 birds last year and have already saved 581 to date in 2015, with spring time seeing mostly orphans and an increased proportion of injuries in the fall.

Organizations like OWL and other participants support the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival with their resources to promote awareness and protection—some-

thing that has been around since the festival’s roots.

In 1995 the Habitat Conservation Trust Fund and the Wild Bird Trust created the Harrison/Chehalis Bald Eagle Festival.

Three years later a commit-tee was formed, and the current Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Society (FVBEFS) identity was born.

Five to seven million of the fish die in the waters of the area after they finish spawning, each one possibly weighing up to 10 pounds.

“So that’s a lot of protein to nourish a lot of scavengers,” Hancock said last week. “That’s what it’s all about.”

Combine the food abundance with a climate where waters don’t freeze and those eagles from the north that are losing access to their regular sources of sustenance because of ice coverage head south.

The FVBEFS, a registered char-ity showcases those visitors and the salmon cycle.

They are always looking for vol-unteers to help with the annual event  and to grow and expand the organization’s programs.

Hope & District Minor Hockey recently won a bus ride from Abbotsford to Vancouver to enjoy a Canucks game when they received 22 tickets, adding 23 more for family and friends. On the bus they had pizza, drinks and movies. At Rogers Arena they were able to enjoy Canucks/Washington warm-ups before heading to the dressing room to get ready to play a quick game in between the 1st and 2nd period.While getting ready the Canucks Mascot came into our dressing room and gave each kid an autographed hockey card. At game time the kids were pumped and amazed to be playing in front of thousands of people. Nyah Thiessen did a great interview after their fun game.

Young champs enjoy a night out!

KELLY PEARCE/ THE STANDARD

Eight volunteers, led by the Hope Mountain Centre, spent Friday morning cleaning up wind storm debris in Hope’s new Bike Park. Several trees came down during the storm, and District of Hope crews helped by cutting and removing them. The park will soon re-open for riding.

Staff WriterBlack Press

When Dr. Mike Hildebrand says he’s work-ing in his lab at Carleton University, he’s speak-ing literally. The lab is named after him and it’s symbolic of his long journey and the path he has taken from UFV and the Fraser Valley farm where he grew up, to the chronic pain research he now leads.

This fall he returns to his hometown of Abbotsford and to UFV where he will be recognized as the Distinguished Alumni award winner for 2015.

Hildebrand, a 2001 graduate of UFV’s BSc program, has fol-lowed a scientific jour-ney that took him to the University of British Columbia for doctoral studies and a PhD, a post-doctoral industrial research fel-lowship with Zalicus Pharmaceuticals, and a research fellowship at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.

Since 2013 he has been a tenure-track assistant professor in the Neuroscience department at Ottawa’s Carleton University, running the Hildebrand Lab, which focuses on pain management.

During the course of his life he has met people living with chronic pain and they have become a motivating force.

“They really put a face on my research for me. I can think that maybe one day, they will be helped by the research I conduct.”

He has received almost $400,000 in research funding for his lab, including a $175,000 NSERC Discovery grant and a $140,000 Canada Foundation for Innovation grant.

And while it’s quite an achievement to have a research lab named after you (his proud mother took photos of the sign when she visited), what drives Hildebrand isn’t a desire for personal glory. It’s curiosity. That ever-present urge to ask why, or how, and then go

and find the answers. Add a strong sense of community service and the drive to help oth-ers through teaching and scientific discovery and you have the secrets to his success.

When he began his studies at UFV in 1997, he didn’t know where his career would take him. He admired and was inspired by his teachers at Abbotsford’s Mennonite Educational Institute, and initially thought maybe he’d become a science teacher.

But he faced a major disappointment when his fiancée (now wife) Sara was accepted into teacher training, but he was not.

“At that point I perceived myself as a fail-ure, but it was also one of my most important learning experiences. I learned about humil-ity, and about not taking things for granted.”

At UFV, his professors saw his potential and wanted to open his mind to other career possibilities. Dr. Noham Weinberg of the Chemistry department invited him to spend a post-undergrad year conducting research in the UFV science labs. Hildebrand also worked with Dr. Tony Stea of the Biology department, resulting in his work being published in ref-ereed science journals as an undergrad. He combined this research work with volunteer teaching at his former high school while he planned the next step in his journey: a suc-cessful application to graduate school at the University of British Columbia.

“I didn’t know much about graduate school opportunities or advanced research oppor-tunities. That year really opened my eyes. Working in theoretical chemistry with Noham stretched me in ways I hadn’t stretched before.

Once I started grad school I continued work-ing on a project focused on neuro-scientific research that I had started in my final year of undergrad studies with Tony, and he visited me in the lab several times at UBC to help me troubleshoot problems.”

His mentors at UFV connected Hildebrand with Dr. Terry Snutch at UBC, who he worked under while conducting his doctoral research.

“Terry was a fabulous mentor. Working with him I learned how to think big and really become a scientist. He gave me the freedom to reach out and collaborate with other research-ers, and bridged me into my post-doctoral work in an industrial research setting, which provided me with critical skills and rounded me out as a researcher.

“It was at this stage that I really took the plunge and realized that I wanted to focus on the area of spinal cord research. There were a lot of big questions still not answered and I saw a real opportunity to do important work there.”

The inability to effectively treat and man-age chronic pain is one of the major public health challenges facing Canada today. In order to develop better drugs to treat chronic pain, researchers need to understand what goes wrong at a molecular and cellular level. The spinal cord is an essential component in the pain transmission pathway and the Hildebrand lab explores how chronic pain works in this area. Hildebrand’s lab is also investigating potential molecular connec-tions between chronic stress, depression, and chronic pain.

The B.C. government’s

climate advisory panel wants to start increasing the province’s carbon tax with a 33 per cent jump

in 2018, and says even with higher fuel tax the province won’t meet its current target to reduce

greenhouse gases one third by 2020.

The carbon tax has been frozen at $30 a

tonne since 2013, a rate that translates to about seven cents a litre on gasoline and similar

taxes on diesel, natural gas and other carbon-based fuels. The govern-ment’s advisory team

recommends increasing the carbon tax by $10 a tonne each year starting in 2018, with increased rebates for low-income and rural B.C. residents.

E n v i r o n m e n t Minister Mary Polak released the panel’s rec-ommendations Friday, as the B.C. delegation led by Premier Christy Clark prepares to attend the United Nations cli-mate change meetings in Paris next week.

Polak was skeptical about one of the panel’s recommendations, to cut the provincial sales tax from seven per cent to six and replace the revenues through higher carbon taxes in the years ahead.

“It is one of their rec-ommendations, and so we’ll be looking at it along with the others, but I think at first blush, the numbers probably don’t work,” Polak said.

The panel, appointed in May with industry and environmental rep-resentatives, concluded that the 2020 reduction target isn’t going to be met. It recommends a new target of a 40 per cent reduction by 2030, and says the original target of an 80 per cent cut can still be reached with “aggressive” carbon pricing and expansion of the tax to include indus-trial emissions.

Polak said she accepts that assessment, and will consult with indus-try and B.C. residents before setting new poli-cies next spring to meet the new 2030 target.

NDP leader John Horgan said the Clark government has fro-zen the carbon tax and delayed progress on Metro Vancouver transit with a referendum they expected would fail.

“Rather than reduce emissions, they’ve gone up,” Horgan said. “And we’re not even counting liquefied natural gas.”

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver said the recommendation to resume increases in the carbon tax is “bold,” but the report also shows Clark’s government gave up on the 2020 target that is still in legislation.

“The key thing is that these recommendations are completely incom-patible with the gov-ernment’s LNG plan,” Weaver said.

That means approximately 100 kms needs to be moved to

undisturbed lands. These reroutes will be made to improve safety

and address environmental considerations, and will accommodate

We’ve been talking with the public, stakeholders, landowners

adjustments in many places to address the concerns we’ve heard.

Our intention in all of our planning is to minimize the impact on

residents, communities and the environment, while ensuring that

safe construction and operations are possible.

Barry StewartThe Hope Standard

Kelly Pearce is an avid outdoorsman in all seasons, so when he thought the time was right, he drove up to Cedar Lake in Sunshine Valley, to check the ice for skating.

It was Sunday morning, after a week of below-freezing temperatures.

Pearce has been known to take a length of 2x4 with him for his inaugural skate on an untested pond — an old-school safety measure — but the lumber stayed home this time.

“It’s one of those ponds that’s not too deep,” he said on Monday. “You would just be up to your hips at most. I always stay away from creek inlets and outlets, though, as that’s where the ice is thin-nest.

“Someone had already been skating on it, per-haps on Saturday, and you could see toboggan marks.”

Sunday would have been the perfect day for family skating but by the time Pearce got back to an internet connection, it was too late for many to react.

“I sent out a Facebook and e-mail post for a Monday skate and Glen Keil, Mike Millar and Kelly Maguire responded,” said Pearce. “You’ve got to be willing to drop everything and go, oth-erwise you just don’t get a chance.”

So there they were on Monday morning: four men and a dog, with about a kilometer of clean ice to themselves.

“We skated for two or three hours,” said Pearce, program director for Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning. “At the western end, there was open water, so we stopped 30 metres short of it. We didn’t want the dog going in there.

“Back in 2009 or 2010, we were able to skate under the highway, over to the beaver pond on the south side.

“In late November, early December we often get that sharp cold, when no snow has fallen. I find it’s like that with a lot of mountain lakes. You get the clean ice on the first freeze, then the snow and rain ruins it. Sometimes, you get lucky and the ice reconditions itself.

“For sure, we could get another cold snap that could freeze Kawkawa Lake, Texas Lake, Lake of the Woods or Starret’s Pond in Silver Creek — where we’ve seen beaver swimming under the ice.”

Even by Monday afternoon, much of Cedar Lake’s surface was untouched, with wonderful tufts of ice crystals puffing out of the mostly-clear glaze. Looking at the trapped bubbles and relief-cracks, it was easy to imagine a good four inches of depth, the standard minimum for clear ice.

Miranda and Jacob Cowan drove up for an after-work skate on Monday. Miranda is on a 60-minute-per-day exercise challenge and the two of them skated till about 5 o’clock.

“I love how we get to enjoy skating here every year or two,” said Miranda. The cracking and set-tling of the ice gave her an extra thrill, as well.

By Tuesday, weather conditions were warming and the lake might be unskateable by publication day. 515 metres of elevation may help maintain the chill.

She is survived by her two sons, Jared and Brendan Burns, sisters Sheila Pope (Jack), Evlyn Morrison (Jeff), Ka-mala Morrison Fairbairn (Don), brother John Morrison (Laura) and mother Frances Morrison. She is predeceased by her father Dr. Robert Morrison. Marlie lived in Hope B.C. throughout her child-hood. After graduating from Hope Sec-ondary School in 1970 she enrolled at

Capilano College, then proceeded to complete a medical stenogra-phy course at VGH. Her fi rst job as a medical stenographer was at VGH UBC, working in the Department of Urology from 1972 -1976.On July 16, 1977 Marlie was married to Gordon Burns in the Hope United Church in a beautiful traditional RCMP red serge ceremony. Their fi rst son, Jared Gordon Burns, was born in April 1980. A sec-ond son, Brendan Robert Burns, arrived in March 1983. The couple purchased two hobby farms: one in Prince George in 1978 and a second in Cranbrook in 1980. The family became avid hobby farm-ers, and, over the course of the next ten years, enjoyed learning a range of skills needed to raise and train a variety of different ani-mals.Marlie worked full time as a medical stenographer in three general hospitals: Winnipeg, Prince George and Cranbrook. She also worked for 11 years as a medical stenographer and receptionist for a medical equipment company in Kamloops.Marlie cultivated a great number of hobbies. She loved to read, cook, garden, preserve her produce, play the piano, sing in choirs, listen to Elvis Presley and connect with family and friends on the phone. Marlie never once forgot anyone’s birthday or anniversary. She took pride in her memory and was diligent in her ability to re-member past events. She enjoyed playing Bethoven’s, “Moonlight Sonata”, a favorite of her mother’s father (W.B.H. Teakles).“Auntie Marlie” will be dearly missed by all: in particular by her mother, her sons, her sisters, brother, nieces and nephews and also by her great niece and nephew. She had a very generous, kind, and loving personality and will be fondly remembered for the uncond-tional love she brought to all.A celebration of Marlie’s life will be held at the Hope United Church, December 5th at 2:00 PM. There will be a reception to follow after-wards in the Hope United Church Hall.In lieu of fl owers donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
