RCMP READY TO STUFF CRUISERS

Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Multiple rockslides shut down Highway 1 in both directions on Sunday between Yale and Boston Bar.

Heavy rain caused debris to tum-ble onto the road near China Bar

Tunnel, Hell’s Gate and Alexandra Tunnel. About 50 cubic metres of rock also spilled onto the highway at Sailor Bar Tunnel. No vehicles were hit in the slides.

“Anytime you get extreme tem-peratures, you get the freeze-thaw cycle which cracks open the rocks,” said Th omas Chhun, acting Fraser

Valley operations manager for the Ministry of Transportation and In-frastructure. “With the quick rise in the freezing levels that we have, combined with the rain saturat-ing the ground, it just loosened the material on the hill slopes there and caused it to come down.”

Th e corridor was closed for 10

hours while crews cleaned up thedebris. Drivers were detoured atthe Highway 7 junction in Haig.

Chhun said patrols currentlymonitor the area on a daily basis forvisible signs of problems.

At this time, there are no minis-try plans to install rock netting inthe Fraser Canyon.

BC Conservatives eager for local by-election Penner retires from politicsRobert Freeman Black Press

Th e BC Conservatives are licking their political chops over the idea of a possible by-election victory in the Chilliwack-Hope riding.

Th e riding has been a “small-c conservative” strong-hold for many years, BC Conservative vice-president Ben Besler said Monday.

“I think that puts us in a really good position,” he added, to take the riding in a by-election to fi ll the seat vacated by BC Liberal MLA Barry Penner.

Besler said a nomination meeting is expected early in the new year, and he suggested that a candidate already considering a bid would be “a happy sur-prise” to party members.

Local New Democratic Party offi cials were not available by press deadline to comment on the possible impact of a split in the conservative vote here.

In 2009, Penner won the rid-ing with more than 53 percent of the vote, followed by NDP candidate Gwen O’Mahony with 33.4 percent. Th e BC Conserva-tives did not run a candidate in the riding.

BC Liberal Diane Janzen, who declared her intention to run for the party’s nomination before Penner’s unexpected announce-ment last week, said Monday that a by-election win in the rid-

ing held by the party since 1996 could not be taken for granted.

She believes the pro-HST vote in the Chilliwack-Hope and Chilliwack ridings, which bucked the province-wide re-sults, is a sign the BC Liberals have a strong base of support here.

“BC Liberal values are what resonates with the public, par-ticularly in these two ridings,” she said.

Besler point-ed out that a narrow one per-cent of voters in the two ridings supported the BC Liberal gov-ernment’s position to keep the HST, not exactly a show of over-whelming support.

He said winning the Chilli-wack-Hope by-election and an-other in Port Moody-Coquitlam triggered by the resignation of BC Liberal MLA Iain Black are “at the very front and centre of our priorities.”

No date has been set for either by-election.

Penner told Black Press on Monday that his decision to re-sume his career in law should not have been a surprise to party offi cials. He announced his in-tention not to seek re-election at the end of the summer, and stepped down as B.C. Attorney

General at the time.“I’ve been pretty upfront that

my plans were to start look-ing to my future,” he said, andparty offi cials were aware he was considering a position as

senior counselat Davis LLP, a Vancouver law fi rm, starting in January.

In his good-bye speech, Penner was ef-fusive with grat-itude.

“It has beena tremendoushonour to serve

the people of my hometown and beyond for more than 15 yearsin elected offi ce and to receivetheir votes of confi dence in foursuccessive election campaigns,”he said.

“Most importantly, howev-er, I’ve had a chance to be theMLA for an incredible part of this great province, the east-ern Fraser Valley, working for people on individual issues andchallenges that they’ve had withvarious government agenciesand trying hard to fi nd solu-tions.”

Penner had been the longestserving B.C. Environment Min-ister and fought a successfulbattle against Sumas Energy 2power plant, and for the instal-lation of B.C.’s fi rst cable wirebarrier on Highway 1.

OUR PHARMACISTS DISPENSE INFORMATION AS WELL AS MEDICATION

Many people receive vitamin B-12 injections monthly. New evidence shows that

taking enough of the vitamin oral-ly can do the same thing. Orally, people absorb only about 1% of the dose but if 1000 mcg is given daily, this provides enough of the vitamin to do the job. Your doctor can tell you if this would be good for you.At this time of year, we are often asked if zinc lozenges are useful to treat the common cold. Evidently, the lozenges with the higher doses of zinc are the better choice and have been proven to slightly shorten the duration of a cold. A daily dose from

the lozenges of at least 75 mg seems to give better results. Some people worry about using public washrooms, afraid they might pick up a sexually-transmitted disease (STD). There is no worry. STD’s cannot be obtained from toilet seats. However, good hygiene after using the facilities is important. This includes thoroughly washing your hands with soap and water, drying well and not touching your face until after hand-washing. If a medication just passes its expiry date, it still should contain at least 90% of active ingredient. However, using an out of date medication

will not be supported by the manufacturer if anything goes wrong. For maximum bene t, use medications that are within their expiry date. If in doubt, ask our pharmacists.We value all your questions about medications. Use our pharmacists as your reliable resource for all the answers.Get the FLU SHOT before Flu season hits.

Celebrating Advent in HopeKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Local churches are gearing up for the an-nual Advent Walk on Dec. 5.

Th e community event celebrates the sea-son leading up to Christmas. Th e word Advent is derived from a Latin root which means “coming” or “arrival.”

“It’s a season fi lled with expectation, spiri-tual preparation and wonder as we prepare for the anniversary of the birth of the Christ child,” said walk coordinator Ken Wother-spoon. “Th e walk is an opportunity to taste a bit of diversity in our church families as we proceed down the streets of Hope walking together from one church to the next one.”

Each congregation will present a 10-min-ute program before leading the procession to the next building.

Walkers will leave Hope United Church on Th ird Avenue at 5 p.m. and end at Northwest Harvest Church, where refreshments will be served following a presentation.

Th e Hope and Area Transition Society is joining the walk this year as part of the Hope for Peace Campaign, which raises awareness about victims of violence throughout the world.

Dec. 6 marks the anniversary of the Mon-treal massacre at Ecole Polytechnique in 1989. Th e Hope and Area Transition Soci-ety is encouraging people to light a candle on this day and take few moments to think

about what they can do to raise awareness in their community.

“Violence against women aff ects us all and whether we realize it or not, everyone knows someone who has been directly aff ected by it,” said Cheryl Lacey, a councillor with the transition society.

“Perhaps it is a neighbour, a friend, a fam-ily member, an employer/employee, client, clerk, parent, teacher, nurse, doctor, actor/actress, waitress or loved one. Domestic vio-lence is still prevalent in our society and is not limited to age, race, level of education or wealth.”

For more information on the Hope For Peace campaign, contact the Hope and Area Transition Society at 604-869-5111.

DEB ROMANO / THE STANDARD

Light exchange


One of the last exchanges in the B.C. legislature’s fall session was over the state of the court system.

Drug dealers are walking free, NDP leader Adrian Dix reminded Public Safety Min-ister Shirley Bond in the fi nal question period. Dix referred to a Prince George case this fall where a convicted cocaine dealer racked up more traf-fi cking charges while he was on trial, and then was released because he couldn’t be tried in a timely fashion.

The NDP was picking up on an unusually political speech last week by B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Robert Bau-man. Speaking to the annual B.C. judges’ conference in Las Vegas, Bauman warned that

funding cuts have the B.C. court system “going over a cliff in slow motion.”

The cuts are real. By next year, court service budgets are expected to be down 10 per cent since 2008, and staff down 15 per cent. The provincial court is down 17 judges from 2005. There aren’t enough clerks. And the federal government is about to push through new sentencing guidelines that will add more inmates to B.C.’s overfl owing prison system.

Bond, the overworked B.C. Liberal minister doing double duty as Attorney General, replied that some of the budget cuts are being reversed. More sheriffs have been trained, and 14 provincial court judges have been hired in the past two years.

(Meanwhile, provincial judges are suing the defi cit-laden government, demanding a six-per-cent raise.)

Bond also pointed to long-term strategies being imple-

mented to relieve the fl ood of court cases. It’s this kind of sys-temic change that has the most potential for long-term reform of our archaic system.

Right now there are an esti-mated 2,000 cases in provincial

court that are running long enough to risk being dismissed due to delays. It’s not a crime wave; a quarter of all cases in provincial and B.C. Supreme Court are family disputes over kids and property.

The Family Law Act has been in the works for years, and it sailed through the legislature

with NDP support. It encour-ages out-of-court settlements in family breakups, equalizes common-law rules with those for married couples and does away with the terms “custody” and “access” that suggest chil-dren are to be fought over as if they are property.

Bond also pointed to B.C.’s harsh new administrative pen-alties for drinking and driving, which have kept most routine impaired cases out of court.

Police have the authority to impound vehicles and impose heavy fi nes on the spot, when drivers fail a roadside breath test or even blow in the “warn” range of 0.05 to 0.08 per cent. Bond points proudly to a 40-per-cent decrease in alcohol-related vehicle deaths in the fi rst year.

Of course this is being chal-lenged as an infringement of the right to go to court and try various drunk-driving defences. A judge will soon decide if the hazards of impaired driving

justify such an infringement.Justice Bauman acknowl-

edges that courts have to clean up procedures too. Set aside the baseless conspiracy theories around the Dave Basi-Bobby Virk saga, and you have two small-time crooks whose law-yers were allowed to spin the case out for seven years in a tangle of evidence disclosure demands.

As the legislature adjourned, Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson joined previ-ous mayors, from Conservative Party member Sam Sullivan to Mike Harcourt, in calling for marijuana to be legalized and regulated.

Not on my watch, replied Prime Minister Stephen Harper. So instead, we’re getting de facto legalization of crack cocaine.

B.C.’s court system close to collapse

Value in municipal auditor-general

Premier Christy Clark’s announcement that a municipal auditor-general will be appointed is good news for taxpayers, and it could be helpful to municipalities as well, should they choose to adopt a conciliatory approach.

When Clark suggested this new offi ce, many mayors and council-lors condemned it, stating that their expenditures were already audited. This is disingenuous.

Yes, their books are audited‚ but a year-end audit by an account-ing fi rm is far different from specifi c performance audits of specifi c programs. Year-end audits pronounce judgment on general fi nancial management, and rarely single out specifi c programs. On rare occasions, auditors will include a note about a specifi c program that raises some questions, but it is not part of their job to follow up.

A municipal auditor-general should be able to follow up on some of those types of “fl agged” issues, as well as issues that are raised by taxpayers. Some of these may revolve around specifi c programs, particularly ones where accountability is less than transparent.

If municipalities accept the reports and advice from the new municipal auditor-general, it could go a long way towards improv-ing their fi nancial management. It will also help them to be more accountable to taxpayers.

The new legislation being proposed has one major fl aw. It does not give the new offi cer the power to audit TransLink, which is a separate corporation, albeit largely under the political oversight of Lower Mainland mayors.

There were suggestions in the municipal election campaign that TransLink needs to be restructured again. If that does take place, there needs to be provision for either the provincial or municipal auditor-general to have the ability to regularly examine TransLink’s delivery of services to the public.

You may have seen a couple vehicles in town with the acro-nym CVSE on the side and won-dered what exactly that means. CVSE stands for Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforce-ment, and the vehicles belong to the weigh scales (inspection stations) on Highways 1 and 7. CVSE are a branch of the Minis-try of Transportation and Infra-structure.

CVSE offi cers are peace of-fi cers and safety is our num-ber one priority. Th e province is committed to ensuring that commercial trucks operating on our provincial highways meet all safety requirements.

Our mandate is to ensure the safety of commercial vehicles on

provincial highways. CVSE of-fi cers enforce six acts and their regulations, most notably the Commercial Transport Act and the Motor Vehicle act. We deal with dangerous goods move-ments, drivers’ log books, ve-hicle inspections, oversize and overweight vehicles, licensing and moving violations such as not stopping at brake checks, bypassing the scales or speeding. We also have the ability to weigh trucks almost anywhere using portable scales.Th ere are over 240 CVSE fi eld staff across B.C. Of the hundreds of thousands of vehicles we see, we target ap-proximately 30,000 vehicles a year for closer inspections.

happens when the inspection stations are closed? Th e simple answer is trucks are allowed to stay on the highway. Our scales and outside reader boards are always left on so trucks can come in to weigh and adjust their weights if necessary.

Th e eastbound site on High-way 1 at Laidlaw is equipped with a weigh-in-motion system which weighs, measures and checks ve-hicle licensing and safety creden-tials while the truck is moving at highway speed. Th ere’s a con-crete pad on the highway which houses the weigh-in-motion scale just before the eastbound site. Th is system, combined with readers at other scales through-out the province, allows trucks

with good safety records to avoid coming into the scales every trip – saving them time, fuel and money.

If you need a vehicle weighed for insurance purposes or are just curious how much your ve-hicle weighs, feel free to bring it out to any of the stations and we can weigh it for you. Over the years, we have weighed all kinds of things – the strangest being a pair of large Clydesdale horses. Questions regarding gross ve-hicle weight for pickups with campers or recreational trailers can also be directed our way. For more information, visit CVSE online at www.cvse.ca.

I would like to take my 'gloves off ' to the Hope Search and Res-cue Team. On the night of Nov. 12 they helped paramedics save the life of a young man whose vehicle had been hit on the Trans Canada

Highway, north of Bos-ton Bar and across from the Canyon Alpine.

While paramedics were performing life saving CPR and defi bril-lating the patient, they very delicately and with extreme precision, cut

him out of his vehicle. Th anks also to para-

medic Mike Henderson for his triage skills at the scene, Boston Bar RCMP, Boston Bar Vol-unteer Fire Department and Emil Anderson

A special thank-you

I may be 15 years of age, but I know smok-ing is a big thing. It af-fects everyone, whether that is your parents, your friends, teachers, neighbors; anyone you have met in your life has been aff ected by smoking in some way either directly or by second hand. It’s highly addictive and has been proven to be a 20.8 per cent risk factor in heart disease which is the number one cause of death.

It has been my ob-servation of my peers that starting this habit comes from curios-ity and peer pressure or trying to fi t in with the “cool” crowd. Stu-

dents with ADD or ADHD seem to lean towards smoking as it can have a calming ef-fect which helps them deal with the pressures of high school. It seems even with the warnings printed on the pack-aging, a higher risk of

lung cancer, heart dis-ease, and emphysema is still in not enough of a deterrent.

Unfortunately some high school students believe that the risks of smoking do not apply to them because they have a sense of feeling

invincible. Th is belief also attributes to stu-dents trying stronger drugs.

My advice: save your-self the grief of trying to quit smoking by not giving in to the tempta-tions to begin with.

Negotiators to recommend new policing contractB.C. close to RCMP deal

Jeff NagelBlack Press

B.C. now appears close to inking a new 20-year policing con-tract with the RCMP.

Negotiations in Otta-wa ended last week with an apparent tentative agreement that could keep the Mounties as the police force for most B.C. cities.

Solicitor General Shirley Bond stressed no fi nal decisions have been made, describing it as a large, complicat-ed contract and noting some of her counter-parts in other provinces may not yet be briefed.

“We’ve certainly made progress,” she said Mon-day.

“Each individual ju-risdiction needs to deal with the information that’s been provided.”

Bond wouldn’t call it a tentative agreement and when asked why not said she doesn’t want to get caught up in seman-tics.

“I’ve not made a de-cision yet regarding the discussion that has tak-en place,” she said, add-ing more technical work is required.

To meet an end-of-November deadline imposed by Ottawa, the

deputy ministers leading the talks for each prov-ince or territory were to confi rm by Wednesday they will recommend the agreement to their respective ministers and cabinets.

No details have been released on the poten-tial new contract.

“I’m not going to pre-sume anything about what the province is going to do with the re-port they get from their deputy,” said Langley City Mayor Peter Fass-bender, the municipal observer in the talks.

“Until it goes through

the process, we don’t know whether we have a deal.”

Final decisions to sign would still be up to each provincial cabinet, he said, and promised city councils in RCMP-po-liced cities will get de-tailed briefi ngs as soon as possible.

Fassbender said the recent talks have been “productive” and said federal offi cials have become more willing to address municipal con-cerns.

“Everybody came to the table with a desire to fi nd the best for both

Canada and the prov-inces and territories,” hesaid.

Cities had demanded greater control over how the RCMP are managed,particularly in the con-tainment of costs andgreater transparency and accountability.

Federal offi cials in September told B.C. to sign the new RCMP contract by the end of November or they’d begin withdrawing the Mounties in 2014.

Th at ultimatumprompted Bond to be-gin considering the launch of a replacementprovincial force, if nec-essary.

Any new contract would still have opt-out clauses under which any city can form its own municipal force or the province could end theRCMP contract and form a provincial force.

Th e deal is not expect-ed to change the current cost-sharing formula, which sees large cities pay 90 per cent of lo-cal RCMP costs, while smaller ones pay 70 percent.

A new contract man-agement committee to address local concerns on an ongoing basis isamong the new compo-nents of the contract.

ICBC seeks 2012 rate increase

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Th e Insurance Corp. of B.C. is applying for an increase to its mandatory basic ve-hicle insurance for 2012 to help cover an increase in claims and a decline in invest-ment income.

ICBC president Jon Schubert said Tues-day the corporation’s bodily injury claims have jumped, contributing to a $200 mil-lion increase in overall claims in the fi rst nine months of 2011. Annual bodily injury claims have climbed by $350 million in the

past fi ve years, and are expected to reach $1.7 billion this year.

“We have not increased our rates since 2007 and there have been a number of rate decreases during that time,” Schubert said.

ICBC reported net income for the fi rst nine months of the year of $52 million, down from $331 million in the same peri-od in 2010. Despite that, its rate change ap-plication to the B.C. Utilities Commission will seek to decrease rates on its optional coverage, where it faces competition from private insurance companies.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon cited

ICBC losses in the B.C. government’s wors-ening defi cit position. Quarterly results forthe provincial treasury show a projecteddefi cit of $3.1 billion for the year ending inMarch, up $313 million.

Falcon said insurance companiesaround the world have seen investment in-come fall off with the continued economicslump in the United States and instabilityin Europe.

Schubert said most of ICBC’s invest-ments have been moved into lower-riskshort-term bonds in response to the vola-tility of fi nancial markets.

Municipal auditor plan

moves forwardJeff Nagel Black Press

A planned Offi ce of the Auditor General for Local Government (AGLG) will be based in Surrey.

Th e provincial government introduced legisla-tion to establish the promised auditor of municipal spending but debate and passage will be delayed until a spring session of the Legislature.

Premier Christy Clark said the AGLG’s main role will be to help cities fi nd effi ciencies in spending and improve program eff ectiveness by providing neutral, non-binding advice – not by imposing solutions.

It will be up to city councils to decide what action to take on any recommendations, she said, adding their decisions on taxation, land use and other ser-vices will remain unrestricted.

Clark said the offi ce will strengthen local govern-ment accountability and ensure the best possible re-turn on investment for taxpayer dollars.

AGLG performance audits assessing whether how eff ective city operations are in providing value for money will be made public.

“Th e same reports would give local governments important information about how to streamline pro-cesses and identify the most effi cient use of public funds, maximizing the use of taxpayer dollars,” said Community, Sport and Cultural Development Min-ister Ida Chong.

Audits will target specifi c services, not a city’s en-tire operations. Also covered are regional districts, including Metro Vancouver’s utility arms, and any corporations or other entities controlled by cities or regional districts.

Delegates at September’s Union of B.C. Munici-palities convention strongly criticized the planned municipal auditor, suspecting its aim is to pressure elected councils to change their policies and priori-ties. Some predicted the offi ce itself will be a waste of money.


B.C. deficit forecast tops $3 billionTom FletcherBlack Press

Expected revenues to the B.C. government fell by $303 million in the second quarter of the fis-cal year, due mainly to in-stability around the world, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said Monday.

The drop in revenues will make it more diffi-cult to meet the govern-ment’s target of balancing the budget by 2013. Fal-

con said he will wait until January, when the finance ministry has to finalize its next budget, to see if that target can still be met.

Coupled with a $30 million jump in spending, the latest figures bring the deficit forecast for the year fiscal year ending next March to $3.1 bil-lion.

In a quarterly briefing to reporters, Falcon also confirmed that it will take until the spring of 2012 to

reverse the har-monized sales tax.

The largest revenue dip is $146 mil-lion less in net income from c o m m e r c i a l Crown corpo-rations.

The bulk of that was a drop in Insurance Corpora-tion of B.C. revenues, where investment income

fell because of instability in the European Union.

Falcon said insurance com-panies around the world have seen invest-ments “ham-mered” by the struggles to keep Greece,

Italy and other countries from defaulting on debt.

Low prices from a glut

of natural gas supplies have reduced B.C. rev-enues, and the continued slump in U.S. housing has affected forestry rev-enues.

On the spending side, Falcon said the B.C. gov-ernment has trimmed op-erating expenses by $20 million this year.

But that was offset by $30 million in unbudget-ed costs related to flood-ing that mainly hit north-ern B.C. this spring.

Hope students study politics on Parliament HillGovernment in action Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Th ree local teens have received a crash-course in Canadian politics.

Alexandra Fleming, Rebecca Kuhn and Caris Nickerson were among 52 students invited to at-tend the Forum for Young Canadi-ans in Ottawa Nov. 13-18.

“It’s really the experience of a lifetime,” said Fleming. “Sure you see it in the textbook and you un-derstand, but once you actually ex-perience it, you can put it to use.”

Th e goal of the program is to provide youth with a bilingual, be-hind-the scenes study of Parliament

Hill. Students toured the House of Commons, learned about the elec-toral process, attended question period, and met several elected of-fi cials at an MP dinner, including local representative Mark Strahl.

Group sessions focused on the roles of cabinet, senate, speaker, clerk and supreme court. Aborigi-nal issues, sustainable agriculture, and media and politics were also topics covered.

“I think it was a lot more hands-on than the classroom,” said Kuhn, who is now inspired to pursue a political science education. “It was interesting to get other peoples opinions.”

Th e teens were surprised by thelack of agreement and “childish” antics of politicians in the House of Commons.

“It was odd to see how immaturethey were,” said Fleming.

“I don’t know how they get any-thing done,” added Nickerson.

However, seeing their political idols was a trip highlight.

For Kuhn, it was NDP memberOlivia Chow, while Green Party leader Elizabeth May topped the list for Nickerson. Fleming enjoyedseeing the Emily Murphy statue on Parliament Hill. Murphy was awomen’s rights activist in the early 1900s.

Laurie Trayer nominated for best gospel instrumental album

Local pianist releases new musicKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Laurie Trayer express-es her love and passion for life through music.

Drawn to the pia-no at an early age, the self-taught artist has entertained audiences throughout the Lower Mainland for decades with her unique style of playing.

“It all came naturally,” she said. “Music was such a way of life.”

Trayer started playing the piano at the age of fi ve by tapping imaginary keys on the windowsill. She discovered her own musical talent when she received her fi rst real piano three years later and soon followed her father’s musical foot-steps. He was also child prodigy, performing in a Russian orchestra at the age of 11.

Trayer, who plays by ear, taught herself how to play the organ and ac-cordian. She also has a passion for oil painting, calligraphy, and interior and landscape design-ing.

“I love music. It’s a uni-versal language,” she said. “Music is just my way of life. It’s very relaxing.”

Trayer has produced fi ve albums through-out her career, each en-hanced with diff erent background music con-sisting of violins, bass, strings and mandolin. Her latest CD, Beyond the Rain, blends gospel, bluegrass and country. It was recently nominated by the Gospel Music As-sociation of Canada as

one of the fi ve best gos-pel instrumental albums of the year.

“It was an honour to be in that circle of musi-cians,” said Trayer. “I was

honoured to be nomi-nated.”

Trayer’s albums are sold locally at Rolly’s Restaurant, Romano’s, Hope Drive-In and Phar-

masave. Th ey can also be purchased at Verses Bookstore in Chilliwack.

It’s time to drag out the Christmas lights, if you can remember where you put them. It seems that we just take them down for the season and they’re going back up again. If you want to get some pictures of your house all lit up, the best time to start is about fifteen minutes after sunset. This will prevent most of the overexposure problems with photographing lights at night. You should use a tripod or brace yourself against something stable while taking your shots. Most cameras have a Night Scene Mode and this is where you should start. If you are able to capture the colour of the lights stay in that mode. If the lights all turn out white switch to manual control. Start with the aperture wide open, a slow shutter speed and the flash turned off. Now experiment by changing the aperture or shutter speed or both. The advantage of digital photography is you can see the effect immediately. Then if you don’t like it you can delete it. Taking a picture of the house all lit up with the family makes a great Christmas card. If we get enough snow include “Frosty” in the family picture.

We’ll help you preserve your memories.

Building confidence on the dance floorBarry StewartHope Standard

Forty-eight and counting.That’s how many stu-

dents have signed up for dance lessons at Ashley Kraszlany’s Twinkle Toes Dance Studio.

By day, she’s the execu-tive assistant to the School District 78 secretary trea-surer — but on Thursday evening, Kraszlany puts on her dancing shoes and puts her three- to 13-year-old stu-dents through their paces.

Some 20 years ago — in the same United Church Hall — it was Kraszlany as a student and Milly Mar-shall as the instructor.

“I started dancing with Milly, doing ballet when I was around five years old,” said Kraszlany on Monday. “I reflect fondly of the days of learning the important

basics of ballet, from posi-tions and steps to form and posture.”

From those first steps, Kraszlany moved on to competitive dancing.

“I danced with Fleita Tutte School of Dance as I got older, as it was first offered in Hope,” said Kraszlany. “When it was discontinued in Hope, I went to Chilliwack. It was a competitive dance school that participated in many competitions throughout the province.”

When Aimee Whitbread set up her Kaleidoscope Studios in Hope, Kraszlany and Emily Bailey were invited to be instruc-tors for the dance school. Whitbread and her family moved to Saskatchewan a few years later and Bailey went to school on Vancou-ver Island, leaving Hope

with no dance school.“I was saddened to hear

when Aimee and her family were moving that the dance studio would not continue,” recalled Kraszlany. “I had many parents and students a p p r o a c h me, asking if I would con-tinue dance in Hope. It didn't take me long to make the decision that I needed to start my own studio, as I felt it would be a huge loss to our community by not having the option for our youth to be able to dance locally.

“I feel that dance is an important option, as it's a way for children to express

themselves in a unique environment,” contends Kraszlany. “I feel that the structure of the class is important — yet the ability to have fun and learn with peers outside of a class-

room setting is important, too. It's a great form of exercise, while having fun at the same time.

“As a girl, in particular, I feel that dance can aid with self-confidence

and self-esteem.” Starting at 4:30 on Thurs-

day afternoons, Kraszlany runs five classes back-to-back, starting with the age three-four Wee Steps and ending with the age 10-13

Jazz class.Parents usually drop

their kids off, or wait in the foyer of the hall — but Kraszlany puts on a par-ent night about every six weeks, where parents can sit and observe a class.

“I feel this works best,” said Kraszlany. “From expe-rience, I have found that my dancers are not quite them-selves, learning in front of an audience and are easily distracted or shy.

“One challenge that I've faced is getting some of the more shy dancers to open up with me and the group,” added the instructor. “I feel very close with each and every one of my students and I go out of my way to make sure each dancer is comfortable and enjoying themselves.

“I was very pleased with our recital last year at Hope

Secondary School, whichattracted over 300 people. Itwas so exciting and positivefor the dancers.”

Classes will be endingsoon for the Christmasbreak and will start upagain on Jan. 12. Whilemany of the current stu-dents will be rolling theirregistration into the nextsession, Kraszlany saysthere is room in somegroups for new members.

Cost is $200 for fivemonths of weekly classes.Students are required tohave ballet or jazz shoesfor lessons — and there arecostume requirements forthe recital.

RAGOT, Julia Blanche (nee Tribe)

Julia Ragot passed away peacefully at the Fraser Hope Lodge in Hope, BC on 20 No-vember 2011. Julia was born in Calgary on 11 April 1918. Her family moved to a farm near Olds in 1928. She re-turned to Calgary to complete her education at Crescent Heights High School. She was pre-deceased by both of her husbands, Allan Marshall Diehl in 1950 and Jean Baptiste Marie Joseph Ragot in 1978 and her son Mi-chael in 2006. Julia is survived by two sib-lings (Lois and Robert), four children, Eva (Les), Rose (Sid), Roy (Susan), Jack (Juliana), twelve grandchildren and twelve great-grandchil-dren. She was blessed with a kind heart that always reached out to comfort the down trodden and disadvantaged. Making music was a lifelong enjoy-ment that she enthusiastically shared, particularly with sib-lings. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her. The family would like to thank the staff at Fraser Hope Lodge for all the love and support they provided for Mom over the last 4 1/2 years and to Dr. Greggain for the compassion-ate care. A small Remembrance Ser-vice will be held at the Fraser Hope Lodge (1275 – 7 Ave-nue, Hope, BC V0X 1L4) on Tuesday, 6 December 2011 at 10:30 am. A Memorial Service is planned for a later date. Expressions of sympathy and a request to be notifi ed of the Memorial Service date and lo-cation can be emailed [email protected]. If friends and family so desire, memorial donations may be made directly to the charity of the donor’s choice.
