Fire destroys Boothroyd fire hall Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Boothroyd First Nation in Boston Bar is grieving the loss of their fire hall. The building was completely destroyed in a structure fire on Dec. 1, along with their fire truck and equipment. The blaze was discovered at about 10 p.m. by a member of the community who saw smoke billowing from the roof of the fire hall. An attempt to remove the fire truck from inside was thwarted by the heavy smoke. When police arrived on scene, the roof was
fully engulfed in flames. “We’re still reeling from the fire and trying to figure out how to proceed,” said Chief Rick Campbell. “As it stands right now, we have no fire
protection at all. A lot of our members depend on their wood stoves at this time of year and they’re afraid to have their fires going without a fire truck.”
Fire officials on scene attributed the cause of the fire to electrical wiring in the rafters of the building. There was no one injured in the blaze, but the total estimated damage is about $300,000. “I want to thank Boston Bar Fire Department for coming as quickly as they did and doing what they could. I also want to thank all the people that have contacted us since and given us their support and well wishes,” said Campbell. “We’ve been busy since the day of the fire coming up with ideas for fundraising and
getting new equipment.” Boothroyd First Nation has eight to 10 volunteer firefighters serving the community. The fire hall, which was built in 1997, housed all their equipment including hoses, turnout gear, and oxygen tanks. The band is currently trying to raise money to buy new hoses, nozzles and other equipment needed to connect to fire hydrants around the community. Anyone wishing to donate to the cause can contact the band office at 604867-9211.

Vehicle windows smashed Hazardous along Water Avenue material dumped Charges of theft and mischief pending
A 48-year-old Hope man has been arrested in connection to thefts from parked vehicles. Hope RCMP received a complaint on Nov. 30 of a man allegedly breaking windows in the 900 block of Water Ave. Upon arrival, officers saw the man but he quickly faded from view. Police secured a perimeter and successfully contained the
area with assistance from Fraser Valley Traffic Services. A search of the area led to the man being found hiding under a vehicle. He was arrested for theft under $5,000 and mischief under $5,000. The man was later released from police custody with a court date in February 2015. Hope RCMP credits an ob-
servant neighbour who took the time to immediately contact police, which assisted in making the arrest that evening. Police encourage residents to report any suspicious behaviour, activity or occurrences. To make a report, call Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750 or Crime Stoppers at 1- 800-222-8477 (TIPS) to remain anonymous.

thing with things like this is you’re not going to get fingerprints due to the corrosive materials. There’s no video surveillance in the neighborhood, it’s unknown when the items were dropped, and there’s no suspect vehicles associated to it. So there’s no evidence at the scene to indicate a pos-

Emergency personnel were called to Laidlaw on Dec. 3 after suspicious barrels were discovered at the east end of Hunter Creek Road. When Hope Fire Department and Hope RCMP arrived on scene, there were 12 - 45 gallon drums, as well as two kegs, lying on the roadway. A small amount of liquid seeping from one of the containers appeared to be corrosive, so police cordoned off the area before contacting a hazardous waste contractor. Hope RCMP remained at the site for hours until it was cleaned up and the containers were removed. Police said there wasn’t any environmental damage as there are no streams or culverts in the area. “There’s no indication of what it could have been linked to,” said Staff Sgt. Bruce Anderson. “The unfortunate

Highway slide Highway 1 eastbound, between Hunter Creek and exit 165 in Hope, was shut down Tuesday afternoon when rocks, mud and water spilled onto the roadway. The large volume of water running down the mountain is attributed to this week’s heavy rainfall. Luckily no vehicles were caught in the slide. Traffic was diverted along Highway 9 through Agassiz and onto Highway 7 towards Hope. Highway 1 eastbound reopened Wednesday morning after crews cleared the debris.

New school board policy eyed She suggested that poll votes be conducted by conference call, which has become past practice for trustees dealing with urgent matters, and notice be given similar to special meetings. The district’s bylaw states that written notice of a special meeting and an agenda should be given to each trustee at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting. A poll vote would be called
at the direction of the board chair, in consultation with staff and committee chair, when required. Passage of a poll vote requires a majority vote of the board of education. The draft policy notes that it is the responsibility of trustees to check their messages regularly and the secretary-treasurer would report the result and rationale of any poll vote at the next regular/in-camera meeting of the board.

YOUR VACCINATION CENTRE One of the best ways of preventing cancer caused by smoking is to educate your children to never start. Most people start to smoke in their teen years. Talk to your children about all the health reasons why they shouldn’t smoke. Also, have them avoid secondhand smoke which begs the question that if you smoke, seriously consider stopping.

Fraser-Cascade school district is considering a new draft policy that would allow trustees to make certain decisions without calling a special meeting. The board approved first reading of the policy on Tuesday night, which aims to ensure business is conducted in an efficient and timely manner.
Poll votes would only be used to deal with a time sensitive emergent issue, where delay would negatively impact the board’s interests, or to deal with matters that do not justify a special meeting. Poll votes are usually conducted by telephone, fax or email by the secretary-treasurer or delegate. “This is our policy developed for us,” said trustee Rose Tustian.

it appears a combination of driver distraction and speed may have been contributing factors in this collision on Dec. 8. The RCMP will have the vehicles mechanically inspected for their road-worthiness at the time of the collision. Fraser Valley Traffic Services is continuing their investigation. Anyone that may have witnessed the collision and has not yet spoken to police is asked to contact the lead investigator, Const. Gregory Leche, at 604-702-4039. HSAR was also called out by RCMP on Dec. 5, at about 5:30 p.m., for a single vehicle accident on Highway 1, five kilometres north of Boston Bar. The overturned vehicle was reportedly in a ditch with possible trapped occupants. However, while on route, the call was cancelled. Earlier in the day, at about 10 a.m., a rescue crew was called by B.C. Ambulance Service to assist with another single vehicle accident on Highway 1 near Emory Creek. Extrication equipment was used to remove the occupants from the vehicle. HSAR assisted loading a person into the ambulance before leaving the scene.

Hope Search and Rescue (HSAR), along with members of the Hope RCMP and Fraser Valley Traffic Services, responded to a two-vehicle collision on Monday afternoon on Highway 5, just north of the Highway 3/5 junction. A 1994 Toyota 4Runner was driving north bound on Highway 5, when it allegedly crossed into the fast lane. As the vehicle, driven by a 51-year-old female, crossed into the lane it was “t-boned� by a 2014 Toyota Tundra truck. The Tundra, driven by a 25-year-old man, with one female passenger, collided with the driver’s side of the 4Runner, causing significant damage to the driver’s side of the vehicle. The driver of the 4Runner was trapped and Hope Search and Rescue used “jaws of life� to remove her from the vehicle. She was transported by helicopter to a regional hospital and is being treated for serious, but non-life threatening injuries. The driver and passenger of the Tundra were transported to a local hospital by ambulance with less serious, non-life threatening injuries.  According to police,

Surplus to pay off earlier deficits, Clark says
Tom Fletcher Black Press
Premier Christy Clark and her ministers are fending off calls to increase spending on pressing social priorities as the financial picture brightens for the B.C. government. With the bills tallied for the first half of the fiscal year, the province is forecasting a surplus of $444 million by next spring, about twice as much as was projected in last February’s budget. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the improvement was helped by a strengthening U.S. economy, despite commodity slumps that
have produced declining lumber and coal revenues. Both de Jong and Clark said their highest priority is to repay about $5 billion in debt accumulated during a string of deficits before the budget was balanced in 2013. “Like any family that’s been through tough times, the first thing you need to do when you get back to finding a job and making an income again, is to pay off your credit cards,” Clark said in an interview. “We’re going to pay off these credit cards that got charged up after 2008 pretty heavily.” NDP children and family crit-
ic Carole James said the government has achieved surpluses with the help of increases to medical premiums, ferry fares, BC Hydro rate increases and other charges, and it’s time to put some back to the people who need it. Her party has been pressing for removal of a clawback of child support payments from social assistance and disability recipients, an estimated annual cost of $17 million. “It’s not simply people who are the recipients of child maintenance dollars, but in fact all British Columbians see how unfair it is that that money is clawed back from children,” James said.
Another priority is to increase post-secondary education funds, which are looking at one of a series of budget cuts next year despite the government’s highprofile jobs plan, James said. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond, meanwhile, turned away calls from retiring B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. After a series of increases brought the B.C. minimum up to $10.25 by 2012, Bond said the issue is being monitored, along with factors like youth unemployment and inflation.

Need to move on child poverty Everyone is gearing up for the Christmas season, that wonderful time of year focused on giving. There are food drives collecting for the food bank, and campaigns of all kinds to help those in need, including toy drives trying to ensure all children have something waiting for them under the Christmas tree. This is a great thing, and it is good-hearted people that both organize and contribute to them. But the best they can hope for, and it is a good goal, is to alleviate some of the need. The sad fact is, the issue of child poverty is not going to be solved by a once-ayear campaign. According to the annual report released by First Call, a coalition of advocacy groups, child poverty is on the rise in B.C. rather than declining. According to the B.C. Child Poverty Report Card, 169,240 children were living below the poverty line in this province in 2012. Last year, the report said 153,000 children. First Call set out 19 recommendations in their report with a goal of reducing the provincial child poverty rate to seven per cent by 2020. The recommendations cover a range, from raising the minimum wage to increased child tax benefits and rescinding cuts to Employment Insurance. But what they all have in common is the need for provincial and federal governments to address the problem. When we see the enormity of the problem of child poverty, it is clear it is time for upper levels of government to join in the fight to make some long-term change. - Black Press
Clark on climate clawbacks, credit cards B.C. VIEWS
Tom Fletcher A year-end interview with Premier Christy Clark. For an extended version see the opinion section at www.hopestandard.com TF: Are you still confident that we’re going to see a major LNG project approved by the end of 2014? PCC: We’re still in negotiations with Petronas and Shell, so I don’t know if it will be by the end of 2014, but I’m hoping in the next few months. [Days after this interview, Petronas announced a delay in their investment decision until 2015.] TF: I talked to a couple of SFU
climate mitigation specialists, and they agreed that it’s unlikely to the point of impossible to have a major LNG industry and still meet Gordon Campbell’s ambitious greenhouse gas target of a 33 per cent reduction by 2020. What do you think? PCC: I think that we may prove them wrong. Many of these facilities, not all of them, will be partly or fully electrically powered up, so that reduces those impacts, and there’s going to be a real incentive to invest in new technology to minimize that as well. I think the bigger picture is what really matters, which is that in shipping 82 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sources of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that we’ve ever made to reducing cli-

mate change. TF: Ontario and Quebec have taken a page from your book. They have seven conditions for an oil pipeline, Energy East, which involves conversion of gas pipelines and taking Alberta oil to the East Coast. What do you think? PCC: I think they took our five conditions and elaborated on them. So you’ve got British Columbia, Alberta, now Ontario and Quebec, all signed on to some version of the five conditions. And of course Enbridge and Kinder Morgan as well. TF: What about the conditions they have added? PCC: One of the things they say they want to protect against is a shortage of natural gas coming to Ontario and Quebec. These are the same two provinces that
Standard
have put a moratorium on extracting natural gas. They want to make sure that we do it here, good enough for us to do, and send it to them, but they won’t do that themselves. I look at their last two conditions, and I roll my eyes a little bit. TF: All the way to New Brunswick, they’ve basically bought the anti-hydraulic fracturing myth? PCC: Yes. Somehow they all watched an American mockumentary or whatever you call it, and believed it. Here in British Columbia we do fracking better than anywhere in the world. It is the gold standard. TF: Finance Minister Mike de Jong says we have a surplus estimated at more than $400 million for this fiscal year, and he suggested that much of that

would have to go to pay off deficits from previous years. Of course the opposition is interested in welfare rates and in particular ending child support clawbacks. What’s your view? PCC: Like any family that’s been through tough times, the first thing you need to do when you get back to finding a job and making an income again, is to pay off your credit cards. And that’s what we’re going to do. We are going to see if we can find ways to improve some of the programs over time, but can’t do that until we can afford it.

granting and donating at our AGM in 2012 prior to the community forest having made any money. In 2013, the community forest produced about $400,000 and gave to charities, not-for-profit and new businesses approximately $120,000 before the partners shut us down in 2014. The partners all of a sudden were not comfortable as to where and how the money was being distributed, now that there was real money in the bank. We were told specifically by the partners that they wanted control over the money and we were asked to wait a week so the partners could review our bylaws and granting procedures. That was in May 2014. By November 2014, this issue was not cleared up as promised by the partners and the stack of grant applications was piling up. Our existing board was fantastic. We were totally non-political and chose to run the corporation as if we were one, keeping in mind we had three partners. Our mandate to spend the profits received from logging was not a problem for the partners – Area B, Yale First Nation, and the District of Hope – for 14 years. The problems began when we finally had the funds to give back to the com-
munities. Susan is right when she stated: “This is not personal.” We as a board just simply gave up waiting for direction from the partners regarding donation and grant distribution. We gave a promise to the communities and we would fulfill that promise. When pressured, the partners handed us our walking papers. Very unusual, but an effective way to jeopardize money that was destined back to all three communities and their projects. The board would in no way make decisions that would jeopardize the entire or any part of the community forest. We knew what we were doing and were totally committed to making this great endeavor work so that the communities would benefit and thrive. Many thanks to Deanna Venusio, our secretary who kept things rolling even when bureaucracy piled up through the roof. Mike Crane from Hope, whose knowledge of the forest is unprecedented. His quiet nature and friendly smile kept us calm and straight. Brian Taylor, who has dedicated his life to the logging industry. His huge laugh made our meetings not only fun but also very informative and clear.
Jolena Hope, new to the board this year, was our numbers person. She is very informed and a great team player. Her cookies helped us through many long nights of discussion. Darwin Baerg brought his common sense and business experience as well as a sense of humor and a great love for the outdoors. Lee Davies, our computer guy. His detail to the written word kept us dialed into the constitution and bylaws of the corporation. Steve Paterson, also new, came with fantastic experience in our First Nation area and with the ability to connect the forest to the trees. Thanks also to the many board members who served previously, each helping us move forward in our development. The board meetings were filled with great ideas, passion, and laughter. We didn’t always agree but we always respected each other and made things work. I am extremely proud of all we have accomplished over the last 14 years. I hope the partners – Area B, Yale First Nation, and the District of Hope – realize that the community forest is not about them, it is about the communities around them. I hope they

Holiday season brings out giving spirit Last Friday morning (Dec. 5), I was pleasantly surprised at the Blue Moose. I had ordered a specialty coffee and was advised it had been already paid for by Sherry Farley. When she had ordered
breakfast at a restaurant, she had discovered it had been paid for by another good samaritan. Or was it the spirit of giving or the Christmas season? Thank you for my coffee Sherry. On an entirely different
note, I would question the town of Hope on its lack of Christmas lighting on Wallace Street and Water Avenue. When I was growing up in Hope and there were fewer taxpayers, we seemed to have a much better display than
the present rather tired string of lights, which would appear to have more than served their purpose. Hopefully the new mayor and council will do better in this regard in 2015. Janice Lynn Verbeck

Re: Community forest board fired (Nov. 27) I would like to take this opportunity to thank the board members of the Cascade Lower Canyon Community Forest. I was appointed to the board approximately 14 years ago along with eight other volunteers from Hope, Yale First Nation and Area B (FVRD). Over the last 12 years as a volunteer board we struggled with our constitution, goals, creating bylaws, as well as dealing with partner and government conflicts. Over time some of the board members threw their hands up in frustration and resigned their positions because of the constant blockades, lack of interest from the partners and government stalling. In 2012, the community forest finally received a licence to start logging and make some money for the communities. Our job as a board was to manage the forest and handle the money that resulted from the harvesting. Incidentally, no chump change, approximately $300,000 per year. We as a board budgeted money to handle the cost of logging and administrative costs. The remainder would be given back to the communities by way of donations and grants. The partners cleared the process for

Hope & Area Transition Society has operated the Extreme Weather Program for three years. This program is funded by BC Housing and was put in place to shelter those from the elements during the winter months – Nov. 1 to March 31. The Extreme Weather Alert is activated when the Emergency Shelter Program is full and when the weather meets the Extreme Weather parameters. In Hope, Extreme Weather is defined as temperatures at or below zero degrees Celsius and either
measurable or significant snow accumulation, or conditions deemed severe enough to present a substantial threat to the life or health of homeless persons. These conditions include prolonged heavy rain in combination with low temperatures, and high winds. The Extreme Weather Shelter is located just outside of Hope at the Thunderbird Motel, 63030 Flood Hope Road. Rides can be arranged through the extreme weather staff (604-869-1844), or through the non-emergency RCMP (604-
869-7750). Once at the Extreme Weather Shelter, clients are offered food, laundry service, clean clothes, and a shower. There are up to 10 spots available, although we have a “no turn-away” policy. In the last five weeks, Extreme Weather has been called twice (Nov. 10-18, Nov. 25-present), and we’ve serviced 51 clients. For questions or information, call the Extreme Weather cell 604-869-1844, or call HATS at 604869-5111. Kayla Penner, Hope & Area Transition Society
SUDOKU PUZZLE 473 Can’t eliminate CO2 production Of course climate change exists. After all, there were once palm trees in the Arctic. In the Middle Ages they grew grapes and exported wine from northern England. During the same “warm period,” the Vikings discovered Greenland and called it “Green” because they could actually grow crops there, unlike today. Climate has changed over and over again though the millennia
even before man was producing significant levels of CO2. However, even for those who believe in “manmade global warming,” the question is, what would it cost to reverse the increase of CO2? Bjorn Lomborg, a Danish scientist and former member of Greenpeace wrote “the Skeptical Environmentalist.” In his book, he shows that the cost of reversing the production of CO2 would be
catastrophic to the world economy. The result would be global starvation on a gigantic scale. It is actually the use of fossil fuels that has allowed the huge increase in global population over the last 100 years. Everything we use, from the food we eat to the dwellings we live in, to the transportation we rely on, requires energy. It would be far better to spend money on mitigat-
ing the problems caused by global warming as they arise than to try to eliminate CO2 production. It is only in economically strong countries where environmental problems are truly addressed. Third World countries simply cannot afford the cost of cleaning up the environment. To eliminate CO2 production would return the world to the Middle Ages. Gary Conolly

Canada’s Health Accord has expired and readers are reminded that it is time to inform themselves about what it is and what they are losing. The failure of federal officials to negotiate a new agreement to transfer adequate funding from Ottawa to the provinces, could mean the end of the public health care system (Medicare). Most Canadians, especially the elderly, believe
it is their right to access community-based services such as home support, long-term, hospice and palliative care. Most of us want a system which is working towards meeting the challenges of patient-centered care, reduced wait times for diagnosis and treatment by physicians, hospitals, and other health providers. Health care services, and not just our aging population, require proper funding.

Spending is not out of control, but is in fact stable and affordable. Most who depend on medications for their very lives favour a national pharmaceutical strategy. A universal pharmacare plan covering everyone, which is unfortunately still waiting to be enacted, would annually save Canadians billions of dollars. Some argue that privatization of health services,would control health care costs.
But, privatization is not sustainable, and moves costs outside public control. Federal leaders need to maintain control and revise provincial transfer allotments. At least they should not walk away from their role by refusing to negotiate. It’s time to reassert our fundamental right to a quality health care system accessible by all. It’s time for a new Canada Health Accord. Bob Strain

Diesel stays stubbornly high amid crude oil drop Pity the poor diesel truck owner. While regular gasoline prices have dropped significantly with the plunging price of oil, the pump price for diesel has remained stubbornly high. Diesel is now averaging $1.38 per litre in Metro Vancouver, down just eight per cent from its summer peak, while gas has fallen 25 per cent to $1.15. “It shouldn’t be that high,” said John Whittall, a West Kelowna photographer and retiree who bought his diesel pickup for the fuel savings. “Typically, diesel hasn’t been more than gas. When gas was low it was lower.” That’s historically true. But early 2009 – when diesel was 85 cents a litre and gas was nearly $1 – is the last time diesel drivers enjoyed big savings. The price gap closed and since 2012 diesel has

Motorists who fill up with diesel haven’t benefitted as much from falling fuel prices.
cost a few cents a litre more than gas most of the time, according to statistics maintained by petroleum industry analysts MJ Ervin and Associates. For the last three years, diesel has been stuck between $1.30 and $1.50 in Vancouver, costing a few cents more than regular gas for most of that time. Jason Parent, vice-president of consulting at MJ Ervin, says the reason for the disparity is diesel and
gasoline are two very different commodities that don’t move together in lockstep. “They each have their own supply and demand fundamentals and they can move in different directions,” he said. Unlike gasoline, which jumps in price towards summer as more drivers hit the road, diesel tends to rise in the winter. The reason, Parent said, is that diesel is vir-
tually identical to heating oil, which is in high demand to heat homes in the winter. “In the winter season when it gets colder, demand for heating oil spikes and that causes a demand pull on both heating oil prices and diesel prices.” The drop in crude oil prices has put downward pressure on diesel, he said, but that has been largely offset by the increase in winter demand – much to the irritation of diesel users. “The guys who use diesel are all wondering why they’re not seeing the same benefit as everyone else.” Whittall said he has difficulty believing Parent’s explanation. He said diesel prices never seem to budge, no matter if it’s summer, winter or crude oil prices are collapsing. “I bet you it hasn’t moved a penny up here,” he said.

Missing women compensation is flowing So far 77 children of women murdered or presumed killed by serial killer Robert Pickton have stepped forward to receive compensation of $50,000 each. That’s one of the outcomes of the Missing Women Inquiry, according to a final report issued by the provincial government on its responses to the recommendations. A total of $4.9 million from the province, federal government and City of Vancouver has been set aside for compensation to 98 surviving, biological children of Pickton’s victims. “We hope this compensation will be used to enhance their lives in the present and future,” Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said in the report. The provincial report argues new integrated policing initiatives have improved the police response since the failures that allowed the Port Coquitlam pig farmer to evade investigators from different jurisdictions. Commissioner Wally Oppal two years ago recommended some form of regional police service. The province has struck an expert committee to explore possible reforms to police service delivery, which could involve further integration while retaining local, communityfocused policing. Other initiatives underway include the new Real Time Intelligence Centre launched by RCMP and municipal police, and a new national DNA missing persons index promised earlier this year by the federal government. Groups seeking a national inquiry for missing women said key recommendations, including improved transportation along Highway 16, have gone nowhere. Pickton is serving a life sentence for six counts of second degree murder but is believed responsible for the deaths of dozens of other women who disappeared from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

Climate strategy pitched in Peru Tom Fletcher Black Press
Environment Minister Mary Polak joined the Canadian delegation in Lima, Peru this week to promote B.C.’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the latest United Nations climate conference. Polak issued a statement from the 20th “Conference of the Parties” (COP20) conference Monday, highlighting efforts to work with Ontario, Quebec and California to take action ahead of their national governments. “The science shows that climate change is occurring and we need to act now,” Polak said. “I hope our cooperation sets an example for other jurisdictions to follow as the nations of the world work toward achieving a comprehensive climate agreement at COP21 in Paris in 2015.” In a year-end interview
with Black Press, Premier Christy Clark remained optimistic that B.C. can meet its goal of reducing carbon emissions by one third from 2007 levels by 2020, even while developing a natural gas export business that would be partly powered by burning gas. “I think the bigger picture is what really matters, which is that in shipping 82 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sources of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that we’ve ever made to reducing climate change,” Clark said. B.C.’s carbon tax on fuels was followed by a decline in total emissions from the province since it was implemented in 2007. Provincial officials concede the 2008-09 economic crisis was a key factor in the initial decline, but they note that while economic activity has recovered, total emissions have not climbed.

BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO
The Chilliwack Chiefs returned from Prince George over the weekend with a 1-1 record. The team now takes on the Coquitlam Express tomorrow night (Dec. 12) at Prospera Centre.
Chiefs salvage split in crucial weekend road trip Eric Welsh Black Press
Dennis Cholowski and Jordan Kawaguchi scored two goals apiece Saturday night as the Chillwack Chiefs doubled the Prince George Spruce Kings 6-3. The game was played at the Prince George Coliseum, with the Chiefs salvaging a valuable split from their Mainland division rivals. PG downed the Chiefs 5-2 Friday night behind an outstanding effort from goalie Jesse Jenks. The Spruce Kings netminder stopped 31 of 33 shots to earn firststar honours, with Cholowski and Mason Boh the only Chiefs to slip pucks behind him. Boh’s goal was his first of the season.
Aidan Pelino was in the Chilliwack net, stopping 22 of 27 Prince George shots. He gave way to backup David Poirier for the Saturday rematch. The Chiefs led 1-0 through 20 minutes on a power play goal by Cholowski. PG’s Brogan O’Brien tied the game 5:43 into period two, but Chilliwack tallied three goals in 2:50 to blow the game open. Kawaguchi scored at 14:57 and 17:47, sandwiching a Luke McColgan snipe. The Chiefs led 4-1 through 40. Rory Bell scored his sixth of the year shorthanded at 12:12 of period three, and Cholowski scored into an empty net with 1:18 to go. Poirier stopped 22 of 25 pucks.
The Chiefs come out of the weekend in excellent shape at 19-9-0-1, first in the Mainland division. The Spruce Kings (17-12-0-2) are second, three points back, with Chilliwack holding two games in hand. The Chiefs remain on the road for a midweek game, tonight in Salmon Arm against the Silverbacks (10-122-5). They host the Coquitlam Express Friday night at Prospera Centre. The Express (11-15-1-4) are fourth in the Mainland division, with one of the BCHL’s most potent offences (3.71 goals per game) derailed by one of the league’s most porous defences (4.16 goals against per game). Chilliwack wraps up its pre-
Christmas slate on the road, visiting the Trail Smoke Eaters (12-15-0-1) Saturday and the Penticton Vees Sunday. The Vees game, by winning percentage, is a battle of the BCHL’s top two teams. Penticton (26-4-0-1) has the league’s top winning percentage at .855, followed by Chilliwack’s .672. T The Chiefs got one of their walking wounded back, with Brandon Tkachuk suiting up in Prince George. The 20 year old Calgarian had missed the last six games with injury. Chilliwack is still without blueliners Mark Esposito and Olivier Arseneau. Forward Liam Ferguson is also injured. Abbotsford native Kohen Olischefski filled in for the

Prince George games. T After earning honourable mention status last week, the Chiefs have climbed back into the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s Top 20. The Chiefs slide into the 18th spot, one of two BCHL teams making the list. The mighty Vees are No. 3, up three spots from last week, and the Vernon Vipers snared an honourable mention. T Ex-Chilliwack Chief Garrett Forster is the latest BCHL Player of the Week. Forster, a Chief from 2011 to 2013, scored two game-winning goals and had five points for Victoria in weekend wins over Cowichan Valley and Merritt. Find more info online at bchl.ca
