Home invasion in Hope Police catch suspect leaving motel near Lake of the Woods Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

A 27-year-old Hope man is facing several charges in connection to a home invasion early Thursday morning in the 500 block of Corbett Street.

Police said Brian Trottier entered the residence while the victim was home and stole her purse, which contained vital identifica-

tion along with other belongings.

He was covering his face and chin with a hoodie at the time, and holding what appeared to be a gun.

The woman recognized Trottier and was able to provide police with a physical description as well as a description of his vehicle.

Police later found the vehicle at a motel near Lake of the Woods and waited for it to leave. Hope RCMP members stopped Trottier

on American Creek Forest Service Road off Highway 1.

“The vehicle was searched and the victim’s property was found as well as a substance police believe to be crack cocaine,” said Const.

Tracy Wolbeck. A paint gun resembling a pistol was also recovered.

“This is a good example of good old fashioned police work and we were able to return the property

back to the victim which is always very gratifying.”

Trottier was arrested and charged with robbery, break and enter, and using an imitation firearm. He remains in custody until his next court appearance on July 5.

Trottier is known to police and has a previous assault conviction in Chilliwack from August 2010, as well as breaches of his bail and probation conditions.

Diking system tested in Hope Saskatchewan team oversees installation

A 400-metre gabion dike was installed in Hope last week to combat flooding along the Fraser River.

The temporary wall is made up of metal mesh baskets that stand about a metre high and unfold into sections, which are then linked together and filled with sand.

“This was an opportunity to protect the infrastructure and protect public safety,” said fire chief Tom DeSorcy, who is also Hope’s emergency preparedness coordinator. “If this happens again, we know this diking system can certainly be deployed out here. We were kind of the test for other communities.”

A rapid response team from Saskatchewan was called in to oversee the installation of the gabion baskets along Seventh Avenue and Wardle Street, with assistance from District of Hope and B.C. Wildlife Management Unit crews. Set up of the 400-metre dike took 1.5 days.

Residents in the area were happy to see the flood barrier in place last week. Ashley Kraszlany, who is currently in the process of

building up her backyard on Wardle Street, said even though she wasn’t concerned about flooding on her property, she was nervous for neighbours in low-lying areas down the street, including the McLarens at the corner of Hazel and Seventh streets.

The couple raised their backyard several years ago in order to prevent water damage, however the recent flooding caused some undermining of a rock wall.

“I do think this proactive ap-

proach by the district certainly will provide some relief and peace of mind for residents if we should experience these kinds of flood levels again in the future,” said Tammy McLaren.

The deployment of the gabion diking system was initiated by Emergency Management B.C. A sandbag machine and 10,000 sandbags were also shipped to Hope last week, which were used to build up the berm on Landstrom Road.

Artifacts stolen from Christ Church historic site Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Christ Church National Historic Site was devastated by an overnight robbery last week.

A summer student conducting tours at the church discovered the front door padlock missing at about 9:30 a.m. on Thursday morning.

Cupboards were ransacked and a set of original leather-bound church bibles and readings were taken. The new sound system and $20 in petty cash for the gift store also went missing.

“The loss of the artifacts is very upsetting,” said site supervisor Darla Dickinson. “They are obviously integral not just to Christ Church but to the history of Hope. We are asking the public if they see anything on eBay or Craigslist to please let us know.”

RCMP Staff Sgt. Suki Manj said it’s unusual for thieves to target churches and artifacts. However, he noted that police will do everything they can to recover the items.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the local detachment at 604869-7750.

Opinion

Respect the river The allure of the Fraser River is a powerful thing, especially as it approaches levels not seen here in 40 years.

But it can also be dangerous.

Both city and provincial officials are urging residents to stay away from the swollen rivers.

And with good reason.

We’ve already seen one death in B.C. Edward Posnikoff, 72, was standing on a bridge that was swept away near his home in the Crescent Valley near Nelson a week ago.

That tragedy prompted Chris Duffy of Emergency Management B.C. to highlight the danger of high river levels, unstable banks and debris. He’s warning people to stay clear of streams and rivers.

His concern echoes what authorities have been saying all last week. The river banks are no place for curious onlookers.

Said emergency co-ordinator Jim MacDonald: “What looks like stable ground, may not in fact be stable.

“When our staff are required to work on dicey ground like that they are wearing life jackets. That’s how seriously we take it.”

Even under normal conditions a river can be a dangerous place. Nearly every year there are reports of fishermen being swept away after slipping on the muddy banks.

With the Fraser running as fast as it is, one mistake could be fatal.

True, the Fraser River is an awesome sight right now.

And even though water levels have stabilized and even receded slightly, the currents are still swift and immensely powerful.

The river needs to be treated with respect.

Getting a closer look is not worth a lost life.

Rough seas ahead for BC Ferries B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher BC Ferries has begun its summer schedule, ramping up sailings for the vacation season that is crucial to the fleet’s bottom line.

It’s been rough sailing for BC Ferries so far this year. The corporation released its financial results in June, reporting a net loss of $16.5 million, compared to net earnings of $3.8 million the previous year. Last year’s earnings were boosted by the sale of the former corporate headquarters for $9.3 million, preventing a loss there as well.

In the fiscal year that ended March 31, vehicle traffic was down 3.5 per cent and walk-on passengers were down 2.8 per cent. As a result, BC Ferries is forecasting a “small loss” for

this year as well.

The spring “Coast Saver” sale has just ended. That’s a 37-per-cent discount offered Fridays through Mondays, May 25 to June 25 on the major runs from the mainland to Victoria and Nanaimo. The discounts allowed a foot passenger to cross for $9.95 and a car and driver for $39.95.

I asked BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan last week how the sale went. He didn’t have final figures yet, but he allowed that the boost in traffic was “marginal.”

It’s the second year that the spring sale has been offered over weekends, when people are more likely to travel. But instead of generating additional trips, Corrigan said the main effect has been to shift traffic from midweek to weekends.

One of the primary reasons for this spring’s poor performance is the lousy weather that kept people at home.

Gasoline at $1.40 a litre is

Here’s another problem: student traffic on the ferries was down by a third this spring, because teachers cancelled field trips as part of their lengthy work-to-rule campaign.

subsidy, say the NDP and their local echo chambers.

Of course, taxpayers are already pitching in an extra $80 million this year, bringing the subsidy to the ferries close to $200 million. That’s how Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom sweetened the pot as he unveiled new powers for B.C. Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee to set service levels as well as regulate fares.

Macatee’s task now is to travel the coast and endure the demands of island dwellers who want the rest of us to subsidize their splendid isolation. The proposition for them will boil down to this: You can pay more or you can have fewer sailings.

And where the boat is a third full, you will have fewer sailings.

This consultation period is an opportunity to ask some hard questions. For instance, does Saltspring Island really need three ferry terminals? And

“One of the primary reasons for this spring’s poor performance is the lousy weather...

The simplistic political debate about ferry service starts and ends with rising fares, with occasional fits of temper over executive salaries, and ignores the other factors. Just cut the fares and increase the taxpayer

why is there no passenger-only service?

Macatee’s term as commissioner started with a detailed review last year that pointed to some other ways to save serious money. But CEO Corrigan says there are no quick fixes.

FortisBC has offered an $11 million incentive for conversion of marine vessels to natural gas, which would give the fleet significant relief from spiraling fuel costs. But a ferry conversion would take six months or more, and another vessel would be needed in the meantime.

Another promising suggestion is overhauling the ferry reservation service, making reservations free and charging extra for those who just show up. Corrigan says a computer reservation overhaul is underway, but it will take three years.

Work on riot files is ‘focused and thorough’ Re: A temporary fix, Opinion (June 27) There are some key facts missing in the editorial suggesting the creation of a temporary court to process the prosecutions arising out of the Stanley Cup riot.

It’s up to the Provincial Court of British Columbia, not government, to assign and schedule courtrooms for all prosecutions and other cases. In this instance, the Court has designated a courtroom at the Vancouver Provincial Court for the riot trials and sentencing hearings. The judiciary will continue to be responsible for the scheduling of these cases. Electronic equipment has been installed to facilitate

the presentation of electronic evidence, in particular video and photographic evidence, as these cases proceed.

Government has contributed approximately $2 million in funding and redirected resources to supporting the Vancouver Police Department’s riot investigation.

The Criminal Justice Branch has taken a number of extraordinary procedural steps to facilitate a timely and proactive approach to managing the laying and prosecution of charges against accused rioters. The Branch has a dedicated riot prosecution team of six senior Crown Counsel responsible for reviewing and approving charges and

managing prosecutions.

Note too that more than 300 charges have been approved against more than 120 accused rioters, and another 200 charges are under review. Justice has already been administered for some who have been found guilty of taking part in the riot. To date, over 30 accused persons – one-quarter of those charged – have pled guilty and two have been sentenced to time in jail.

In short, work on these files is focused and thorough, and will continue to be so as more charges are approved and prosecutions initiated.

The Fraser experience has already waited. The Mighty Fraser River, the backbone of the Valley, has slowly but inexorably been reduced to an industrial highway.

Except for a few disconnected parks and derelict boat launches, public access is difficult or impossible.

For all our talk, we have isolated ourselves from the Fraser and turned our backs on all of the opportunities the river can create.

The Experience the Fraser project proposes to bring the human aspect back to the river. In so doing, the Fraser River will change from something we briefly glimpse between waterfront industries to the centerpiece of our communities.

Strike targets liquor warehouses Employees seeking a wage increase Tom Fletcher Black Press

SUDOKU PUZZLE 348

The B.C. Government and Service Employees Union launched strike action on Tuesday with a one-day walkout at liquor distribution warehouses in Vancouver, Victoria and Kamloops.

BCGEU chief negotiator David Vipond said the strike action is to protest the B.C. government’s plan to sell off the three warehouses as well as back the union’s demands. The union rejected an offer of a two per cent wage increase this year and another 1.5 per cent next year, and is seeking about six per cent over two years after three years without a raise.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon responded to the union’s strike vote by suggesting the wage offer could be

withdrawn. The government describes its current negotiating mandate as “co-operative gains,” where pay increases must be financed by cost reductions in work arrangement.

Vipond said the BCGEU’s proposal to raise

revenue by opening more government liquor stores on Sundays was rejected. When the plan to sell liquor distribution operations was revealed in February’s budget, the union was told its jobs would be protected in the transition to a private

operator if the Sunday opening proposal was withdrawn, he said.

The BCGEU also represents deputy sheriffs, provincial jail staff, child protection social workers, forestry and forest firefighting staff.

The union has not indicated what the next strike action may be, but has vowed not to interfere with any public safety or emergency service duties.

Another union proposal was to expand the duties of deputy sheriffs from court security to include traffic enforcement. That was also rejected with no explanation, Vipond said.

The union representing workers at ICBC has issued 72-hour strike notice.

But job action will start slowly, with a ban on overtime starting July 6, according to COPE 378 vice-president Jeff Gillies.

He said the union will give at least 48 hours warning of any further escalation in the job action.

“This is about implementing what we’ve said all along will be a series of prudent, targeted job actions that will put pressure on ICBC and the government without hurting B.C. drivers,”

Gillies said.

Unionized ICBC workers previously voted 87 per cent to provide the strike mandate to back contract demands.

COPE initially wanted five per cent pay raises for each of 2012 and 2013 but has since trimmed that request.

It now wants a four-year deal providing cost-of-living adjustments in each year, plus an extra two per cent in each of the final two years.

ICBC has proposed a five-year contract with no pay hikes.

The union argues the provincial government has used ICBC as an ATM – siphoning $1.2 billion in surpluses out of the pub-

lic auto insurer over five years – and therefore money is available to fund higher wages.

The Labour Relations Board issued an interim order requiring some of ICBC’s 4,600 workers to continue to work in areas of claims, driver licensing, insurance and information to maintain essential services.

ICBC officials have said they have no mandate from the province to bargain on monetary issues pending a provincial review of ICBC’s operations.

“We are committed to reaching a collective agreement with our unionized workers,” an ICBC spokesman said in a statement.

Pharmacist O’hanna Magdy hopes to fill a gap in the community by providing faster and more affordable service.

He officially opened the doors to his new store on Wallace Street last Friday.

Hope Pharmacy offers a wide range of exclusive Rexall brand products and is part of the Guardian network of 860 independently owned pharmacies across the country.

“Our slogan is you just can’t buy better,” said Magdy.

“Our prices are guaranteed and you don’t have to wait for a flyer or wait for a sales campaign to get what you want.”

The locally owned and operated pharmacy provides delivery of medication and front-store items daily to residents in the region, including those living in Boston Bar. Magdy can also give vaccinations in-store without an appointment.

Hope Pharmacy is located at 224 Wallace St. and is open six days a week, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Mosquito threat increases with water levels The localized high water levels are expected to produce mosquitoes in the upcoming weeks.

When rising water moves into low-lying areas around river corridors it comes in contact with mosquito eggs that have been laid in previous seasons.

This triggers the mosquito development cycle.

The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) has been preparing since early April by monitoring and treating areas known to produce nuisance mosquitoes. All sites are being treated with a bacterial agent that is non-toxic to humans and is designed to specifically target a mosquito in its larval stage before it can fly.

Crews have launched widespread hand and helicopter treatments of sites, covering

more than 600 hectares of land around the Fraser River to date, and will continue throughout the upcoming months.

The FVRD does not conduct fogging or spraying of chemicals that kill flying (adult) mosquitoes.

Here are some ways to reduce mosquitoes around your property, and ways to limit bites: • Apply insect repellent containing DEET according to label instructions when outdoors.

• Wear shoes, socks and longsleeved, light-coloured, loosefitting shirts and pants when outdoors.

• Avoid mosquito-laden areas at dawn and dusk.

• Install tight-fitting screens on doors and windows.

• Eliminate or regularly change water in saucers under

flower pots, in bird baths, old tires, pet dishes, gutters, pool covers, trampolines, tarps and other areas where rainwater may collect.

• Swimming pools should be properly maintained and chlorinated and wading pools should be emptied and turned over when not in use.

• Use fine mesh to cover rain barrels and containers that cannot be dumped.

For updates on river levels and mosquito activity, residents are encouraged to follow the FVRD’s mosquito control contractor on Twitter @morrowmosquito or find them on Facebook at facebook.com/morrowmosquito.

For other questions, call the FVRD’s Mosquito Control Hotline at 1-888-733-2333 or email mosquitoes@fvrd.bc.ca.

Cory Welsh made a stop in Hope last Wednesday on his cross-Canada ride to raise money for research and awareness about Parkinson’s disease. The 23-year-old Ontario resident started his journey on June 26 in Vancouver and plans to finish in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Sept.

3. Welsh’s inspiration for the Parkinson’s Cycle of Hope is his dad, who was diagnosed with the disease in 2007. So far the campaign has raised over $31,000 for Parkinson Canada’s national peer reviewed program. The goal is to reach $50,000 by the end of the trip.

All funds will be attributed to the region from which donations are made. For more information on the Parkinson’s Cycle of Hope, visit http:// www.pdcycle.com.

Jungal fever in Hope Australian trio performs at Concerts in Park Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Jungal returns to Hope this weekend for Concerts in the Park.

The trio creates their own brand of Australian-flavoured roots music blended with folk, pop, rock and soul. Their energetic performances and catchy, positive songwriting comes to life through three harmonious

voices that create a unique and powerful sound.

“We generally write about life experiences – the good and the bad – and we are always true to ourselves which is reflected in our music,” said drummer Jessie Jungalwalla, who has been making music with her sister Leisha for over 10 years. Bass guitar player Victoria Beard joined the group about seven years ago.

“We all bonded over our love of music and the desire to put out a strong female band into the Australian music scene,” said Jungalwalla.

Jungal has been described as having the heart of John Butler, the soul of Amy Winehouse, and the power of Ani DiFranco.

The trio performs at the bandshell in Memorial Park on July 8, from 2-4 p.m.

Australian folk-rock group Jungal performs in Memorial Park on Sunday.

Biz on the Street

Many businesses in Hope rely on the summer season as their moneymaking months. Most have spent considerable time and effort contemplating their strategies to maximize the window of opportunity to ensure their ongoing success, and to build loyalty and recognition in their customer base. Here are a few questions that many summer businesses can ask themselves even now, with summer already upon us: • Are you staffed up?

Though perhaps an obvious question, some businesses are left wondering how they can afford to staff up before sales or summer business bring in the cash to justify those extra hands. One option is to research available staff subsidy programs or training opportunities.

repeat customers if your times are convenient for them. Change may not be needed, but staying in tune with your customers’ needs is invaluable.

• Are you taking advantage of existing resources? Do you have some copies of the Hope visitor guide, or a quicklink on your computer to the online version to answer questions from your clients? Do you have new product samples, displays, or manuals readily available? Are you planning to stay open during particular summer events, or partnering with a neighbouring business to put on a sidewalk sale. Have you thought of the impact of the Hope Mountain Market, and how you may take advantage of the clientele that event attracts to the town? Before you invest in your own tools, it’s often beneficial to scope out the community toolbox and succeed as a team.

There are never-ending questions and options as a business owner, particularly in a small town. Without taking intentional time to chart your course, however, it is impossible to match your efforts with specific results, and track progress toward your larger business goals.

Thank you to all the hardworking business owners and their staff for helping to make our community a great place to live. We as a community wish you the best of success, and look forward to sharing a beautiful summer with you in Hope!

How to write a classified ad that works Writing an effective classified ad is easy when you know how. What follows is a step-by-step guide focusing on the time-tested principles of a successful ad.
