The carbon tax, raw log exports and the teachers’ dispute were among the hot topics at Monday’s all-candidates meeting. About 80 people turned out to the Hope & District Recreation Centre to hear the ChilliwackHope byelection contenders weigh in on pressing issues. BC Conservative candidate John Martin said his top priority is eliminating the carbon tax, which he believes is “extremely punitive” to rural residents in the riding. “We don’t have transit going back

and forth. We have to drive,” he said. “The carbon tax makes absolutely everything more expensive. It has solved nothing. We want to make life more affordable. We can lower taxes and be more efficient.” BC Liberal candidate Laurie Throness defended the carbon tax, pointing out that it’s revenue-neutral and provides about one billion dollars in personal and business tax relief. If the carbon tax were scrapped, he said the government would have to raise taxes in other areas or go into a deficit. Gwen O’Mahony said an NDP government would keep the tax, but invest it in transit and alterna-

tive forms of transportation. She also noted her party supports rolling back corporate income tax rates to 2008 levels rather than subsiding the cuts through the carbon tax. When it comes to economy, Martin believes B.C. needs to make itself more financially attractive for investors to “take chances, risk capital, put in the effort and spend resources.” He also said the lack of jobs due to raw log exports needs to be addressed. “When you have mills closing in this province where forestry has always been a very significant lifeline for smaller communities, there’s been such a mismanagement and

O’Mahony pointed out the priority should be ensuring B.C. mills receive the tempered products they need, while Throness stressed the importance of log exports in sustaining thousands of forestry jobs. When asked about the teachers’ dispute, both Martin and O’Mahony accused the government of a creating a “political wedge issue.” Martin said the Lib-

way to afford what it is the community wants to achieve.” An ongoing challenge for Hope is generating enough revenue to cover operating expenses, especially with the declining population impacting the municipal tax base. The district will collect $6.3 million from property owners this year, which will contribute to an overall operating revenue of $10.6 million. Expenses in 2012 are expected to total $11.1 million, up $410,600 from 2011. Aujla said one of the contributing factors to that increase is rising water and sewer rates, which are projected to cost $1.3 million this year. “Our rates are not keeping pace with some of our neighbouring jurisdictions,” said Aujla. “So I think we’re just playing catchup. It’s not to say that this trend will forever continue. It’s a matter of getting it to ensure that the rev-

enues offset the cost of doing business.” In order to balance the budget this year, the district added tax revenues, increased sales/service fees, reduced casual/back-filling of positions, and made cuts to several operating and capital expenditures. It also reduced transfers to reserves, which Aujla said will impact the replacement of capital items and the amount of money required for post-closure of the landfill. However, despite the cutbacks several projects are anticipated to move forward this year. They include the replacement of Suckers Creek Bridge, completion of phase one of the east Kawkawa Lake water upgrade, Flood-Hope sewer system, and recreation upgrades at Sixth Avenue Park. Final adoption of the 2012 budget is slated for council’s April 24 meeting.

Parissa Aujla, Hope’s director of finance, said taxes in the district will still be lower than in neighboring jurisdictions. “This is a tight and very lean budget,” she said. “There have been approximately 10 years where there’s been no increases and that’s hard for the economy.

a breach of confidence that is “absolutely inexcusable” and has resulted in a lack of trust. “They’re picking a fight. There shouldn’t be legislation, there should have been bargaining,” added O’Mahony. Throness defended the government’s netzero mandate, noting how 130 other unions have agreed to the terms. He also pointed out that in 2006, the

Liberals approved a 16 per cent raise and a $3,700 signing bonus for every teacher in the province. “When you look at the $15 trillion debt in the United States, that is going to come home to roost in a year or two. There’s going to be an economic shock and we need to be ready for it,” Throness said, stressing the importance of a balanced budget.

“In the end, things are going to work out because teachers are good people, they are professionals, they care about kids and I think they’re going to work this out for the benefit of students in the province.” Polls will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Hope Legion, Silver Creek Elementary, Yale Community Centre and Canyon Lanes in Boston Bar on April 19.

Volunteers needed for crime prevention initiative Hope Standard

Hope Crime Prevention Society needs more volunteers to keep its patrols at Othello Tunnels running this year. The non-profit group has been regularly canvassing the parking lot area for about 12 years in an effort to combat vehicle break-ins and thefts. “We used to have a contingent of members who were retired and they loved to go up to the tunnels, but they got older and they can’t do it anymore,” said Joan Hodgkinson. “So all of a sudden we found this past summer we were down to about six regular people who

could go and we need to find more because we would like to have someone at the tunnels everyday.” The society is hoping to

have teams ready for the opening of Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park at the end of May and will provide new volunteers with some train-

ing. Members are asked to work four-hour shifts patrolling the area – however many choose to do more – and hand out educational pamphlets

to tourists about the importance of locking up valuables. “The nice thing about the tunnels is it’s not work. It’s meet and greet with tourists for the most part,” said Hodgkinson. “We’ve met people from all over the world. It’s such a pleasant place to spend a summer day. It’s also a good way to contribute to the community.” RCMP Staff Sgt. Suki Manj said the program acts as a deterrent for people who go to the park solely to commit crime. The area is known as a hotspot for vehicle thefts, but Manj pointed out that volunteers have helped reduce the number of incidents over the last two years.

Community transformation will take time

Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

A regional approach will be key to Hope’s transformation in the future. That was the message John Winter, president and CEO of the BC Chamber of Commerce, delivered last Thursday during the first event of the inaugural Idea Exchange series. “Natural community boundaries do not necessarily conform to geographic consignments, and many communities have realized that their futures are linked together by geography, heritage and business,” said Winter to a crowd of about 50 people at the Hope Golf Club. “You need a champion – a person or group who can rise above all local interests to reach a shared vision for the future. For Hope, it begins with a dream of what’s possible, a shared vision for the future, the creation of an integrated plan for transformation, and dedication to relentlessly pursue the delivery of that plan over time to reach the goals established. Some call it a restless discontent with the status quo.” Winter noted that transformation incorporates economic growth and enriched community values. The first requires lever-

aging assets to attract new and enhanced business, growing the community through retention and attraction of residents, increasing tourism, and helping diversify and sustain the economy. Winter said enriching community values means adding to the quality of life, developing the value of community assets and attractions, building community pride and uniting Hope behind a long-term vision.

In order to achieve this, he pointed out that the transformation process will involve assessment of all community assets for strengths and weaknesses; evaluation of community issues such as governance, infrastructure, funding and resources that might be roadblocks; creation of an integrated vision; and analysis of the plan’s delivery and funding formula. “History has shown that 10 years of focus and dedication to deliver it – with lots of bumps, bruises and adjustments likely along the way – is achievable,” Winter said. “The challenge through the planning process is to avoid the reality in communities and to encourage bold, creative, out of the box thinking. Anything and everything must be considered.” The next Idea Exchange event hosted by the Hope & District Chamber of Commerce is an interactive roundtable discussion tonight (April 18) on topics such as branding, marketing and business positioning.

Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has created a new liquor licence that allows theatres to serve alcohol during movie showings. Rich Coleman, the cabinet minister responsible for B.C. liquor and gambling policy, says the change will get rid of red tape for theatres that could get a licence to serve alcohol for live events, but couldn’t show movies in the same place. The new licence will allow theatres to serve drinks in the lobby, but patrons won’t be able to take drinks to their movie seat unless the room is adultsonly. Coleman said unlike the stands at a hockey game or out in a well-lit lobby, it’s difficult for operators to see if minors are sneaking drinks in a dark theatre. A multiplex cinema now has

New ruling widens authorized medical use of marijuana Jeff Nagel Black Press

Medical marijuana users can legally eat pot brownies or drink THC tea rather than just smoke the drug, B.C. Supreme Court has ruled. Justice Robert Johnston found Health Canada’s Medical Marijuana Access Regulations unreasonably limited users to possessing only the dried form of pot. The judge ruled users should be able to choose “how to ingest the medicinal ingredients in the safest and most effective manner” and that the rules are unconstitutional. The decision is part of a marijuana trafficking case against Victoria man Owen Smith, the hired baker of the Cannabis Buyers’ Club of Canada, who turned marijuana

into cookies, oils, capsules and ointments for the club’s 3,700 members. Defence lawyers argued the dried-only rule forces people to smoke to get the medical benefit, adding that’s more unhealthy than eating it or apply-

for those with chronic pain or glaucoma. Crown prosecutors argued the rule allowing medical users possession of dried pot only helps police or regulators easily determine if a user is exceeding the possession limit, which would be

We would like to remind residents that all dogs over the age of 4 months are required to be licensed. Why license your dog? • Licensing identiﬁes lost dogs and reduces the chances of euthanizing unadoptable dogs. • Apprehended licensed dogs are provided with one free ride home per year. • Reduces nuisances from barking, at large and irresponsible dog ownership. • Encourage sterilization and reduces over population. • Offset costs attributed to dog control services such as dog pound, rescue support for lost or abandoned dogs, veterinarian care, enforcement personnel, adoption services and transporting dogs.

more complex if a user instead had marijuana cookies or cannabis butter. “I conclude that this restriction is arbitrary,” Johnston ruled. “I am not prepared to infer that it is necessary to restrict medical marijuana to its dried form in order to make enforcement of the drug laws possible.” The decision was a ruling on part of the evidence in the case against Smith, which is still slated to go to trial because he may have provided pot products to non-authorized users. It’s not clear whether the ruling will take effect immediately or if Crown will appeal.

Telus invests $2.8 million in Hope

Telus will be spending $2.8 million in Hope this year to further expand its wireline networks and bring 4G LTE to the community.

“Telus’ $2.8 million investment will enhance our world-class wireline networks and introduce the most advanced, fastest wireless technology avail-

able in the world today,” said Lance MacDonald, Telus director of customer solutions delivery for the community. “The demand for wire-

less services is exploding in Hope and Telus is committed to making investments in infrastructure and technology to better serve our custom-

ers and communities. We are deeply grateful for the hard work and outstanding commitment of our 15 local team members and retirees and for the support of our customers.” The new 4G LTE network supports manu-

facturers’ rated peak download speeds of up to 75 megabits per second (Mbps), with an expected average of 12 to 25 Mbps. Telus has also invested $650,000 to bring broadband service to local residents in Manning Park this year.

This investment is part of $3 billion in infrastructure upgrades being made across B.C. through 2014 and builds upon the $26 billion Telus has already invested in operations and technology throughout the province over the last 10 years.

Opinion

What about wildlife? The world’s thirst for oil is poised to turn the current trickle of crude through Vancouver’s harbour into a gusher. Kinder Morgan Canada announced this month that it will seek to twin its Trans Mountain Pipeline between northern Alberta and Burnaby, increasing its current 300,000-barrel-per-day capacity to as much as 850,000. That means the number of tankers filling up in Burnaby could hit 360 in 2016 – five times more than the record 69 crude tankers in 2010. Good for the economy, but the question on many people’s lips involves a frightening scenario: What if there is a spill? Certainly, many safeguards are already in place. Oil tankers must be double-hulled and are required to sail with two pilots – highly trained experts on local waters who are familiar with any hazards that need to be avoided. All oil tanker vessels that sail into Canadian waters must have an arrangement with a spill response organization which, on the West Coast, is the Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC). If there is a spill, and the ship’s owner walks away, the vessel would be seized and WCMRC would tap into the insurance tanker companies are required to purchase. But there’s a hole in the prevention and remedy protocols big enough to sail a sizable ship through. What about wildlife? There are no laws compelling companies to clean up birds and animals impacted by a spill. Oil spill response usually involves containing spills with booms and collecting the oil using skimmers. If the responsible party requests a wildlife rescue response, WCMRC may manage it or hire a professional organization to perform it. The problem is, not all responsible parties choose to respond to oiled wildlife. Our pristine coastlines and their animal inhabitants are among B.C.’s most precious resources. If the province does agree to open its shores to more tanker traffic, protection for our marine animals and waterfowl must be part of the equation. – Black Press

Environmentalism for dummies B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher David Suzuki has resigned as a director of his namesake foundation so it won’t be the target of federal government “attacks.” This news is conveyed to me in a Globe and Mail report that is typically tilted in deference to “Canada’s most famous environmentalist.” The usual assumptions are woven in: Suzuki is a saint. His every utterance is treated as scientific fact, even when it’s a left-wing political rant. The Conservative government is a front for Big Oil that has “attacked” environmental groups by reminding them that political activities are not eligible for charitable tax exemptions. In recent years, the David Suzuki Foundation’s campaign focus has been noticeably in step with the

large U.S. foundations that fund most of B.C.’s enviro-scare industry: first salmon farming and now the Alberta “tar sands” in all its exaggerated horror. Suzuki’s personal activities aren’t easily distinguished from those of his foundation, as was illustrated with his recent CBC documentary that demonized the “tar sands.” Diseased fish were displayed, but natural contamination of the Athabasca River was glossed over. Aboriginal objections were highlighted, while local support and economic benefits were overlooked. This isn’t science or charity. It’s tabloid journalism. Sensationalize, ignore facts that weaken the drama, play to people’s emotions. And he expects to be subsidized by the CBC and charitable tax exemptions as well? This news comes as I finish reading Patrick Moore’s book, Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout. I was one of many young fans who cheered as Moore, Bob Hunter and the other

Suzuki is a saint. His every utterance is treated as scientific fact, even when it’s a left-wing political rant Greenpeace opposed aquaculture because it destroys tropical mangrove swamps. Tropical prawn farms have no rational connection with B.C., but a global organization needs simple ideas that sell.

This approach was seen in an earlier 1980s campaign against chlorine in pulp mills. Greenpeace protests against dioxins and the herbicide 2,4,5-T were eventually dumbed down to opposing the use of chlorine in all industries, including production of PVC plastic. Pulp mills developed a way to eliminate trace dioxins from their production, but that didn’t matter once Greenpeace had a global campaign going. They still used chlorine, so they’re bad. Speaking of chlorine, PCBs are polychlorinated biphenyls, a persistent background toxin. Tests found levels three to five times higher in some wild salmon compared to farmed. But the wild salmon results were ignored in a 2004 study, used by Suzuki to depict farmed salmon as poisonous. His foundation’s salmon farm campaign quietly disappeared down the memory hole after its PCB claims were debunked. Moore highlighted another bit of

greenwashing in a visit to Victoria last year. The vaunted “LEED” certification for green building standards gives you points if your concrete is locally sourced, but no points for using wood instead. That’s because the long campaign by major environmental groups has devolved to “logging is bad.” Here’s the latest example. Greenpeace, ForestEthics and the Sierra Club were bankrolled by U.S. foundations to negotiate with the B.C. government, aboriginal people and forest companies for the 2006 “Great Bear Rainforest” agreement on the B.C. coast. Economic opportunity was delicately balanced against preservation, and First Nations gained new control of forests. Now the big enviros have begun campaigning against their own deal. As much as 50 per cent could still be logged, they say. It seems this particular green peace is bad for their business. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Letters Restore Katimavik funding So far, 2012 has been a very bad year for young Canadians from coast to coast to coast: an alarming unemployment rate of 13.9 per cent, the shutting of the Service Canada Youth Job Centers across the country, and a youth-criminalizing crime bill. Now the Conservatives have cancelled Canada’s outstanding national youth volunteer program, Katimavik. Since 1977, Katimavik has enabled over 30,000 young Canadians to volunteer for local charitable and non-profit organizations like the Hope & District Arts Council. In addition to learning a second language

Comment on any story you read at www.hopestandard.com m

and exploring Canada, Katimavik fosters citizenship, leadership, and cooperation, by giving experience and opportunity to our youth. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that for every dollar the organization spends, $2.20 is generated in our neighbourhoods. With enough pressure, we can still reverse the Conservatives’ decision. Youth need the tools to succeed; let’s make sure they have them. We must not allow the Katimavik house in Hope to close. Justin Trudeau Liberal Party of Canada Youth Critic

Hope's air shed can't afford another truck stop Re: Proposed truck stop in Hope will create over 80 jobs I do not understand why we would need another truck stop when we already have two. Hope has a sensitive air shed and having another 60 or more trucks plus reefers running for up to, God only knows how many hours a day, will create more pollution that we cannot afford, not to mention the extra noise and trafﬁc on Flood-Hope Road. And yes I know Hope needs employment and I am sure it will come, hopefully in a cleaner and less damaging manner. Tom Anderson

Richmond Hill walkway needed Re: Fatal hit and run in Hope (April 11) I was one of the first people on the scene before the emergency response team appeared at the site of the poor person found in the ditch on Richmond Hill on April 6. I have driven down that road so many times and pointed out to many people the area of walkway on both sides of that part of the road. I’ve said that it is just an accident waiting to happen. On that small stretch there is a very narrow walkway on both sides with one lane going east and two lanes going west. I am only sorry that I have not expressed my views about it earlier. Only two days before this incident, I pointed out to my husband while driving by a young family walking in the same area of the accident.

The young lady was pushing a baby stroller. I know that it is very hard to push those strollers along the gravel and of course she had the stroller on the narrow walkway. If a vehicle swerved just slightly, they could have been hit. Actually, a vehicle would not even have to swerve or be driving too fast to hit someone in that area. All it would take would be one small miscalculation. If an adult is walking there and almost gets hit, they can usually jump out of the way but it would be very hard to move a baby stroller fast enough. Every day people take their lives and their children’s lives in their hands by walking along there but there are no alternatives. When I see people walking there, I drive around them going a little bit into the lane

going west, but some people wouldn’t or couldn’t because of oncoming vehicles. There are many young families that must walk along that area to go to town and they should have safer conditions. I invite council to go down in that area and look for yourself. On both sides of the road, there is practically no walking space. Just as lanes were made wider on Highway 1 past the bridge for people’s safety, and I thankfully see that the area is frequently patrolled for speeders, something must also be done to make this area safer. I have seen many more people use this area for bike riding and walking in the past years. Please make a decision to make a wider walkway there. Please do it before another human life is taken.

Trafﬁc will devalue our homes Re: Proposed truck stop in Hope will create over 80 jobs I do not want the Flying J in our community, or should I say on that site, as we came here for a place to settle down for peace and quiet. We like our comunity but if this comes about we will be getting trucks every minute of the day and night passing our mobile home park. If this comes about that means we will be looking to move, but who will buy our place when the site is devalued by this coming into being. The trucks will have to pass our home. Also the truck stop says it will bring in 100 jobs, but it will take down other businesses. Edward Reed

Hope is plugged in Hope Bottle Depot is doing its part to keep small appliances out of the landfill. The local facility is among over 100 recycling drop-off locations in B.C. offering the new Unplugged program, which aims to divert approximately two million items from provincial landfills every year. Unplugged accepts more than 120 types of old and broken small appliances, ranging from electric toothbrushes to microwave ovens. “It’s good to utilize the program because when you come here you don’t have to pay,” said Hope Bottle Depot owner Soraya Duncan. “Recycling has prolonged the life of this landfill. Had Hope not jumped on board when it did, that landfill would be closed today. It’s good for everybody.” Unplugged is the first small appliance recycling program of its kind in Canada and is a non-profit program funded by a recycling fee applied to new small appliances brought into B.C. by manufacturers and retailers. The recycling fee covers all program costs, includ-

ing collection, transportation and recycling, and may be included in a product’s price or displayed as a separate charge at check-out. In addition to the Unplugged program, Hope Bottle Depot also collects electronics, milk cartons, and provides a full refund on ready-to-drink beverage containers. Through a variety of refining and smelting processes, the materials reclaimed from unwanted electronics are used as raw materials in the manufacturing of new products. Monitors and televisions with smashed screens are considered hazardous material under provincial regulations. In 2007, industry-managed recycling programs in B.C. diverted 121,000 tonnes of solid waste from landfills and reduced 267,000 metric tonnes of carbon dioxide – the equivalent of removing 72,950 cars off B.C. roads each year. Hope Bottle Depot is located at 930 6th Ave. and is open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

CONWAY, Patricia Rose September 18, 1956 April 12, 2012 It is with heavy hearts we announce the passing of Pat Conway (nee: Patenaude) on April 12, 2012 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital at the age of 55. Pat was a fighter and fought her battle with cancer with grace and dignity. Pat will be forever remembered by her loving husband Ken, and daughters Kimberlee (Joe) and Michelle (Bryan) and special little friend Justin. She was predeceased by her father Spencer and her daughter Nicole and is survived by her mom Rose and sisters Catherine (Bryan) and Mary Ann (Ron) and her brother Ken (Candy) and numerous nieces and nephews. Pat was born in Lytton BC and spent her whole life living in Boston Bar. She worked at the school in Boston Bar as a SEA and loved her job. She touched the lives of many people with her smile and caring ways. She will be sadly missed and forever loved within our hearts.

The care that was provided for Mom (and us) was exceptional. We are also very thankful for our family nurses and one in particular who went above and beyond spending endless hours in the hospital supporting us and Mom, your endless love and medical knowledge helped us more than you will ever know. Thank You Leanne. A Memorial Service will be held April 21, 2012 at Boston Bar Community Hall at 1:00. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Canuck Place. (canuckplace.org)

Notice of Proposed Property Disposition Hope Regional Airport 62724 Airport Road, District of Hope, British Columbia The Hope Regional Airport is operated by the Fraser Valley Regional District and located approximately 5 km west of the District of Hope town centre. Land Lease available The Airport has available for Lease approximately 25 acres of agricultural land and approximately 9 acres of other land available for aviation, groundside commercial development or agricultural enterprises. If you are interested in a unique location for your business venture, the available lands at the Hope Regional Airport may meet your requirements. If considering agricultural related enterprises, please note there is no water available on the site. Also note that building height restrictions may be in place due to airstrip operations. Lease terms and rates are negotiable and site tours can be arranged by contacting Milly Marshall at 604-869-2304. Expressions of Interest should be submitted to the Fraser Valley Regional District to the attention of Milly Marshall, Manager of Hope and District Recreation and Cultural Services. They can be delivered by email to mmarshall@fvrd.bc.ca , by fax at 604-869-9336 or delivered and received at the Hope & District Recreation Centre at 1005 – 6th Avenue, Hope, BC, V0X 1L4. Deadline for submissions is Friday, April 27, 2012 at 4:30pm.

Council will hear the views of the public at the above referenced meeting in order to assist them in deciding whether the property at 62890 Flood Hope Road should be re-designated in the District of Hope Ofﬁcial Community Plan from Light/Service Industry to Highway Commercial and then rezoned in the District of Hope Zoning Bylaw from Rural (RU-1) to Highway Commercial (C-2). Properties Affected: All lands within the vicinity of the property at 62890 Flood Hope Road. Intent of the Proposed Amendment Bylaws: If Amendment Bylaw 1318 is adopted, the 9.28 hectare (22.95 acre) property at 62890 Flood Hope Road will change the Ofﬁcial Community Plan (OCP) land use designation of the property from Light/Service Industry to Highway Commercial. The OCP amendment is required in order to rezone the property (Amendment Bylaw 1319) from Rural (RU-1) to Highway Commercial (C-2). The proposal for the property at 62890 Flood Hope Road is to subdivide approximately 3.1 hectares (7.47 acres) off the east portion of the property and construct a highway commercial oriented commercial development as a truck stop facility (incorporating a gas station, a card-lock commercial access diesel refueling facility, a restaurant and a convenience store). There is no proposal for the remaining 6.18 hectares (15.27 acres), west portion of the property at this time; however, it will remain Highway Commercial (C-2) zone for future development.
