Residents in Sunshine Valley have sent a signed petition to the provincial government requesting compensation for last year’s landslide victims.

The 267-name petition was presented to MLA Gwen O’Mahony during a tour of the area last Thursday. Homeowners want their properties purchased back at fair market

value as they are no longer livable or sellable. Trees and debris from the May 25, 2011 slide still remain piled on several homes along Cedar Boulevard.

“Once you clean this up and remove all the houses that are damaged, then it’s going to look like nothing ever happened,” said Jim Benbaruj, who looks after his parents’ property in Sunshine Valley.

“The properties, as they stand have no value and cleaning them up would not improve anything for the

homeowners. There would still be no value there for us. In order for us to move on ... we need to have the full compensation to do it.”

The slide occurred on Crown land and was 225 metres long and 25 metres wide at the start. The width grew to about 75 metres by the time it stopped. It stripped vegetation from the slope and diverted a stream into properties below, causing extensive flooding.

“In the paperwork, it’s called a debris slide. When you look at

Only as young as you feel... and hear. *HSS UV^ [V WHY[PJPWH[L PU [OPZ NYLH[ VWWVY[\UP[` [V IL [OL ÄYZ[ [V evaluate new digital noise reduction hearing aids, risk free.*

it in person, it’s enormous,” said O’Mahony.

“To actually look at it and see the water flow change, it’s shocking. I have no idea why it took so long – that’s wrong. People can deal with a straight answer, but uncertainty is very painful. I don’t think they’re going to receive any compensation ... but I’m still going to bring forth my concerns on behalf of them regardless of the outcome.”

Liberty Mellow was lucky to escape the slide after being trapped inside her house by an avalanche of rocks, mud and trees. Since then, she and her partner have been renting a place in Hope while awaiting news on their property.

“It’s really hard for us without the government doing anything at all,” she said.

“We’re not asking for much. Just give back our life, give back what we had before.”

Five homes were directly impacted by the slide last May. Since then, three properties to the east have been added to the danger zone. Homeowners feel unsafe and threatened by future slides in the area.

probability of additional landslides on the slope.

The same report also found there is no longer enough setback from the toe of the mountain to rebuild or allow future development on the properties.

“We’re all very helpless here,” said Freda Wicki, a pensioner

who had just completed renovations to her house before the slide.

“This was supposed to be my (retirement) home and now I’ve got no place to go. It’s not worth it to rebuild because the place is off its foundation and leaning to the side. Also, whatever wasn’t nailed down

there, people stole.”

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said they will not provide compensation to residents because the landslide was “an act of God” with no human intervention. However, Emergency Management BC and the Fraser Valley Regional District have agreed to work together on debris clean up, which is estimated at $357,000.

Area B electoral director Dennis Adamson feels the government has taken too long in responding to residents.

“It should have been dealt with immediately, one way or another,” he said.

“It seems to me the ministry is just stalling.

I think the residents should be compensated. This area should be cleaned up and never allowed to be built on again.”

Hope bucks provincial trend

OF THE WEE R E D A K RE

Food bank isn’t struggling to keep shelves stocked Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

While many food banks across the province are struggling to keep their shelves stocked this summer, the location in Hope isn’t facing the same challenge.

Food banks typically experience a shortage at this time of year as people who would normally donate are away on vacation or stay indoors due to the heat. In Hope, seniors are the largest cohort donating to the local food bank.

“Normally we are struggling at this time of year,” said Maclynne Bourquin, executive director of Hope Community Services.

“We received a large quantity

“We never have enough funds to provide the type of foods we would like to assist families with.”

The food bank is currently in need of canned meat (tuna, salmon, ham), peanut butter, jam, cheese, canned/powdered milk, oatmeal, cereal (low sugar types), hot chocolate, rice, and canned vegetables and fruit.

The food bank is open every Wednesday at Northwest Harvest Church on Third Avenue, from 11:45 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. All donations receive a tax receipt and can be dropped off Hope Community Services during office hours.

Heartburn results when the valve that shuts off the tube to the stomach doesn’t seal well enough and allows the food to come back up the tube (esophagus). Because that food has been mixing with stomach acid, this regurgitation causes the burning feeling in the esophagus. If heartburn becomes chronic, see your doctor.

This year’s judging committee features Nyal Thomas, the organizer of the SedroWoolley carving competition in Washington state.

The event runs 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday. A speed carving competition takes place on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with sculptures

being auctioned off at 3 p.m.

The carving competition is taking place in conjunction with several other events in downtown Hope this Saturday.

Graeme and Sonia of Owl Street Cafe are hosting a barbecue cook-off from 9 a.m. to noon in Memorial Park. Food will be supplied by Cooper’s, but participants are asked to bring their own cooler filled with ice, gloves and barbecue.

Prizes will be awarded to the best apron, best food presentation, and best quality/tasting food. This year’s head judge is Dave Flexhaug.

There will also be kids competitions and a watermelon eating contest in the park.

The fourth annual

Motorcycle Show & Shine takes over Wallace Street, between Third and Fourth avenues, on Saturday as well.

The event typically attracts about 100 riders from across the province and is open to all motorcycle models, sizes and powers.

“Bikers love to show their rides off,” said show organizer Scott Medlock. “They’re really works of art. The more you look at them, the more you notice.

Every bike owner wants to be unique so they really spend a lot of time and money customizing them.”

The Motorcycle Show & Shine is sponsored by the Hope & District Chamber of Commerce, and runs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Stolen artifacts recovered Historic bibles returned to Christ Church

Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

A set of original bibles stolen from Christ Church National Historic Site last month have now been returned.

The artifacts were left at Joshua Lemmens house last Thursday at about 2 a.m. After hearing a loud knock, he opened the door to find an old leather satchel filled with the bibles sitting on his doorstep.

“When I found out about this a month ago, I put the word out to some marginalized people in the community,” said Lemmens, who is part of the ministerial team at Northwest Harvest Church and the vice-president of Trails Crossing Friendship Centre.

“Basically I said to them all

‘when you’re stealing bibles and religious artifacts, that’s bad Karma and it’s going to come back to you.’ Somebody felt obliged to return them.”

Lemmens returned the bibles to Christ Church on Thursday morning.

“The sense of relief in walking in and seeing them sitting there on the desk was phenomenal,” said site supervisor Darla Dickenson, noting that the bibles had very minimal damage.

“To have such an essential piece of history returned means a lot to not just Christ Church as a national historic site, but to the community of Hope. There’s a thankfulness throughout the whole community that they’ve been returned.”

Opinion

Acts of great courage The recent events in Wisconsin are almost beyond comprehension. A 40-year-old man who was bounced from the U.S. army for being drunk on duty – a white-power skinhead – walks into a Sikh temple near Milwaukee and starts shooting.

Six people die. Then the killer kills himself.

The gunman was quickly identified and the hunt for every available detail of his life was underway within hours of the tragedy. We now know a lot about him.

With all that has been reported, we still don’t know exactly why he did what he did, and we may never find out. But his name and his history is not what needs to be remembered.

The name and life we should remember is that of 65-year-old gurdwara president Satwant Kaleka, a farmer from the Duggal village of India’s Patiala district, who moved to the U.S. in 1982 and helped found the temple.

It was the unarmed Kaleka who tackled the gunman at the door of the temple when the shooting started, suffering two ultimately fatal leg wounds. Kaleka delayed the killer’s entry by two minutes, giving others a chance to flee.

Nor should we forget Oak Creek police Lt. Brian Murphy, who was shot nine times while tending to one of the wounded in the temple parking lot, then reportedly tried to wave off fellow officers when they came to his aid, insisting worshippers indoors needed their help more.

We also need to remember 39-year-old Parkash Singh, a quiet, gentle man who served as granthi (priest) at the gurdwara for six years. And the others who died: brothers Sita Singh, 41, and Ranjit Singh, 49, Paramjit Kaur Toor, 41, and Suveg Singh, 84.

The bravery of Kaleka and Murphy makes sense. Being a person of faith also makes sense.

What the killer did was, by any definition, a senseless act.

B.C. liquor laws finally effective B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Here’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka.

Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska.

OFFICE HOURS Mon.-Wed. & Fri. 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

“flyspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to under-age drinkers.

Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, revealed in sting operations run by liquor inspectors.

In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84 per cent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one flunked.

But here is the telling statistic. In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to em-

ploy actual minors to test stores.

Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol. As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence.

government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are generally overstaffed by private sector standards.

The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store.

Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor.

The B.C. Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs.

“Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C. cities and towns...

Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens, and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped.

The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores. But in fairness, three times as many private stores as

The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business.

Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own under-age children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments.

If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales.

Beware of door marketers For those who aren’t aware, there has been a bit of a marketing siege going on in Hope.

Personable, attractive young people are knocking on doors.

(I have a “no solicitors� sign but it doesn’t help) asking if you can take an air quality questionnaire or words to that effect. Later you get a phone call asking if you would like a free gift no obligation.

If you decide to let someone come with this “three-day holiday package, free/gratis or pressure hose attachment,� you are in for a very compelling education about how air quality is our highest priority and may end up, like I did, signing up for a Filter Queen vacuum and also state of the art air conditioner.

If you complain later that the salesperson did not mention the

almost 20 per cent interest on four years of payments plus over a thousand dollar “borrowing fee,� they might drop most of the borrowing fee and you “save� a thousand.

The vacuum company is based in Victoria. You have 10 days to cancel without giving a reason so if you have made this error in judgment, being mesmerized by top quality sales pitches and

products, you may have time.

If this has not happened to you, be warned. Do not answer the door, is my advice, to anyone you don’t know. They are moving in from Victoria to prey on vulnerable seniors.

City hall should not allow this. I would like to see them stop this sort of door-to-door marketing.

Environmental legislation needed The world is at a dangerous point in time. Land area is limited and populations are exploding – the evidence is around us for all to see.

We must press our governments and representatives to immediately put their efforts into creating laws and restrictions to protect what little is left of natural environments and wild creatures of the earth, which in turn, will enable human beings to exist. It is difficult however to be hopeful when, instead, the public is continually informed that these vital

resources are being developed, merely with the justification that it will create jobs and be good for the economy.

This week, another caution was announced on the news, advising that our oceans are becoming more acidic, in which certain creatures cannot live and will become extinct.

It brings to mind the documentary made a few years ago about a small, very green and vibrant place called Easter Island on which human inhabitants as well as many animals and birds

lived. Then the tree cutting started which changed the climate of the island and many of the inhabitants suffered and died off, leaving a dry and sand-covered Island on which eventually rats were the main wild creatures.

There could be no more clear example of the results of human interference in nature.

The public must insist elected officials protect our very existence by putting a stop to any further destruction of natural and agricultural lands by enacting the necessary changes to

current legislation and bylaws which currently allow restrictions to be over- ruled.

With increasing populations, it is insanity to destroy any natural ground areas, large or small, which should either be left green or used to produce natural food crops and purify our air. Scientists have warned that we are on the brink of no return and the public must insist that officials listen and act without further delay with the necessary legislation.

Gun control laws won’t stop extremist groups I am deeply saddened by the brutal loss of life and injury of members of the Sikh community in Wisconsin.

I feel that this senseless and racist attack at a place of worship is not the act of a madman nor is it a random act of violence – this attack was a well organized and targeted attack by a racist group who sought to target and attack the Sikh community in Wisconsin. Many people blame slack gun control laws but it is my firm belief that by controlling gun violence we will not be able to stop extreme racist groups from committing attacks against minority groups.

I have lived too long, have seen similar attacks here in B.C. and have heard of other senseless acts of violence motivated by rac-

ism across the world. The seeds of ignorance are fertilized by hate and racism, these same seeds burn mosques, synagogues and temples, create gunmen to murder innocent kids in Norway, and now open fire on innocent worshippers in a gurdwara.

Racists and white supremacists cause fear in the wider community to demonstrate their force and power. It would be naĂŻve to think that groups like these do not congregate and meet in secret even locally. They wait in hiding and seek any opportunity to create hatred among people of all color, religion, and ethnicity. Our communities should not live in fear but must unite to show racists that our communities are happy to live in harmony and have an intercultural understanding of

one another. Education will not help racist groups – the only language they understand is strict law enforcement and appropriate consequences to deter them from criminal and racist acts. I would like to extend my sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims of this tragic incident. I strongly denounce this racist act of violence and am determined to not watch our community live in fear. Rather we should unite and organize a defense through education and intercultural understanding against white supremacists to ensure no minority group will suffer from racist and senseless violence again.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has rejected suggestions his government is considering pushing through the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline across northern B.C. Harper was asked about Enbridge Inc.’s pipeline project at a stop in Vancouver last Tuesday, and the frequent accusation that he has already decided it is in the national interest for it to proceed.

“I’ve been very clear that decisions on these kinds of projects are made through an independent evaluation conducted by scientists into the economic costs and risks that are associated with the project,” Harper said. “I think that’s the only

The District of Hope is considering several options for the future of waste disposal in the area.

• Fill in the grid so that every row, every column & every 3 x 3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once.

• Each 3 x 3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3 x 3 box.

SINCE 1974

The District of Hope is currently looking for public feedback on future landfill options.

Over the last few years, the municipality has taken a number of steps to improve the landfill to meet Ministry of Environment requirements.

However, addressing ongoing issues can be costly which is why an efficiency review was undertaken to identify options for longterm disposal solutions.

“These are expensive decisions that will impact our community and that’s why we need your input,” said Mayor Susan Johnston. “We need to ensure that we are making the best decisions on where to take our garbage in the future. There are many factors to consider including cost, convenience, longevity, the environment and what works best for district taxpayers.”

As a result of the ef-

ated using non-hazardous waste form Norampac Recycled Fibre Mill to reach capacity sooner in 2013. Revenue from this waste is used to pay for the site closure and waste then hauled to another landfill.

Regardless of which option is pursued, steps will need to be taken to improve the leachate collection system in order to protect Shadbolt Creek.

In addition, a transfer

station will be required — where incoming waste will be deposited in large bins or B-Train trailers and transported to a larger landfill that has longterm disposal capacity.

“The timing of this project is critical,” said Johnston. “Now that we have gathered information on possible options, the environmental impacts and the related costs, we can make a decision about the future of our waste. But before we proceed with making decisions about any major upgrades we need to hear from our community on the options as well as any other ideas people may have.”

The district is hosting an open house on Aug. 27, from 5-7 p.m., in council chambers to provide residents more information about the options and costs. Feedback will be accepted until Sept. 4.

Pipeline won’t be imposed: Harper

way governments can handle controversial projects of this manner, to ensure that things are evaluated on an independent basis, scientifically, and not simply on political criteria.”

Harper told reporters he has spoken with B.C. Premier Christy Clark and other premiers about pipelines, but those conversations are private.

It’s his first public comment since a dispute erupted between Clark and Alberta Premier Alison Redford in July over Clark’s demand for more revenues.

“I’m not going to get into an argument or discussion about how we divide hypothetical revenues,” Harper said.

He did emphasize that in general, it is important for Canada to diversify its trade and open up new markets in Asia. The federal gov-

ernment is planning “huge investments” to improve environmental protection for shipping resource material, but it won’t favour any individual project, he said.

Kinder Morgan hopes to twin its existing oil pipeline from Alberta to port and refinery facilities in Burnaby, to transport more heavy oil from the Athabasca oil sands. But the company has not yet formally applied for federal environment assessment.

Clark initially said her government would wait until the federal assessment of Enbridge is concluded in 2013 before deciding whether to support it. Then in late July, the B.C. government presented a list of five preconditions, including a positive recommendation from the federal review.

Police licence plate cameras face privacy probe Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C.’s Privacy Commissioner will probe the use by municipal police of cruiser-mounted cameras that rapidly scan thousands of licence plates from passing vehicles into a database after critics raised objections.

Elizabeth Denham said her investigation of the Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) system is already underway.

Civil libertarians are applauding the announcement, arguing the RCMP and other forces are using the plate-scanning technology for purposes beyond the original intent.

The 43 camera-equipped police cars in the province scan passing or parked vehicle plates against ICBC and national police databases.

Police instantly see if a car is stolen or uninsured – or if the probable driver is unlicensed, prohibited from driving, wanted by police or accused of a crime.

Each time a flagged vehicle is detected, its time and location is recorded and kept for two years.

Rob Wipond, one of three independent researchers whose work convinced Denham to act, welcomes the investigation. “This thing has been operating for years without any kind of independent oversight,� he said. “We’re talking about mass population surveillance.�

Wipond said the criteria for generating actionable hits has expanded from traffic violations to data like whether you’ve ever gone to court to seek child custody or had a mental health episode that involved police.

The result, he said, is a disturbing map of the movements of myriad suspect vehicles that can be traced back two years.

That might seem laudable when it helps police find an abduction victim, solve a murder or keep sex offenders from parking outside schools. But Wipond envisions British-style uses, like recording the licence plates of vehicles coming to a lawful demonstration and then using ALPR to detect, intercept and slow the same protesters headed to future gatherings.

Taken to extremes, critics argue, authorities could use ALPR to track where union leaders, protest organizers and journalists go and who they meet.

Washington DC uses stationary ALPR cameras that form a grid that captures most vehicle movements for scrutiny.

Wipond theorizes police algorithms could one day decide that because someone went to a suspicious location, they should be flagged for closer scrutiny in the future – data that might result in them not being allowed to fly or cross borders. “The public needs to think about this more,� he said. “Am I comfortable being tracked all the time, being

surveilled all the time? How does this change me and my sense of freedom in my daily life?�

RCMP E Division Traffic Services Supt. Denis Boucher said ALPR isn’t used to record suspect vehicles for future tracking. “Anybody can speculate,� he said. “But it isn’t used as an intelligencegathering tool. It’s used as an enforcement tool.�

He said police couldn’t use it to collect data on vehicles arriving at a Hells Angels clubhouse – or a protest.

He also denied Wipond’s suggestion a mental health incident several years old could result in someone’s

plate being flagged today, adding that information is generally removed from the federal policing database. “It doesn’t flag somebody simply because he’s got a criminal record,� he added. “These are for hits where we have outstanding action to be taken against an individual.�

But Boucher said RCMP are considering keeping all plate recognition data for every vehicle ALPR identifies on the road – not just the actionable hits. A check of non-hit ALPR data might be able to show whether a suspect’s vehicle was or wasn’t near the scene of a crime, he said. “There are all kinds of ramifications,� Boucher said. “We’re not quite

there yet as to whether we want to go down that road.�

He said the pilot program, launched more than five years ago mainly to find stolen cars, “morphed� over time into tracking a broader set of targets because car theft alone wasn’t enough to justify its use. “There was value in identifying other infractions,� he said. “That’s how it’s snowballed into where it is today.�

He denied there is any interest in using the licence plate data of existing stationary cameras from ICBC’s 140 red light cameras or ones that electronically collect tolls on the Golden Ears and new Port Mann bridges. “We’ve got enough dealing with the moving ones.�

Michael Vonn of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association is skeptical the program won’t expand further given the “function creep� seen so far.

Your licence plate number is publicly visible with no expectation of privacy, but she said an ALPR system coupled with a database that archives detected locations is a profound change. “The community will have to decide if funneling every person that you pass on the street into a database is law enforcement,� Vonn said. “You don’t have to identify yourself on the street. This is a technological means by which we are not only identifying but screening.�

A provincial reform limiting bonus payments for Crown corporation executives won’t apply at TransLink or BC Ferries.

The move replaces the current bonus systems at Crown agencies with a hold back of up to 20 per cent of executives’ pay, which is released if targets are met.

The province also announced a pay freeze for current Crown executives and said new senior executives will be hired at salaries 10 per cent lower than their predecessors.

Incentive pay – publicly unpopular but considered an effective tool in encouraging performance – became a flashpoint in 2009 when it was revealed

CX-5 RAISES THE BAR CROSSOVER EMPHASIZES SPORTINESS OVER UTILITY, WITH SKYACTIV PROCESS PROVIDING THE PERFORMANCE BOOST

The story of the 2013 Mazda CX-5 began in 2005 when Mazda began mapping out its long-term strategy in a post-Ford world. This is how the car business works. What you see in showrooms today was conceived long ago.

SkyActiv, the buzzword Mazda is using to describe the company’s comprehensive take on improving fuel economy and reducing emissions in vehicles that remain fun to drive, is all about “wiping the slate clean,” says Mazda senior engineer Dave Coleman, the selfdescribed Director of Technobabble. “No more parts-bin engineering,” he adds.

By that he means this: The CX-5 and all that comes next from Mazda represent what you might call a holistic approach to vehicle development. Everything you will see from Mazda going forward, from the powertrains to the platforms, from the designs to engineering top to bottom – all if it is about “squeezing maximum efficiency from existing technologies.”

Yeah, but why should you care? You’re not a technogeek. But if you’re like 300,000 other Canadians or so, you will be buying a compact SUV of some sort this year or next year or the year after, each and every year. Canadians love their compact SUVs; sales here account for 17 per cent of the entire new-vehicle market and just in the last two years have doubled.

So you are very likely to want something along the lines of a Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Ford Escape, Chevrolet Equinox, Kia Sportage, Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue. If you are a Mazda owner, you will likely be moving up from a Mazda3, although Mazda wants you if you are a former Honda Civic or Ford Focus owner, too.

If that’s you, the base version of the CX-5, the GX with front-wheel-drive, starts at $22,995. The volume model, the GS, lists for $27,895 and the top-of-the-line GT starts at $32,495. All are well equipped, but of course, as you pay more you get more. AWD, for instance, is a $2,000 option on GX and GS models, standard on the GT. Most importantly to Mazda, the CX-5 offers the “best highway fuel economy of any SUV sold in Canada – including hybrids:” 7.8 litres/100 km in

the city, 5.7 highway for front-drive models with the six-speed manual transmission. Front-drivers with the six-speed automatic get 7.7 city/6.1 highway and with AWD and the automatic, 8.0 city/6.4 highway. Using regular gas across the board.

Mazda, then, is taking aim at the heart of the new-vehicle market in Canada with a crossover that is very capable, looks sharp and is fun-todrive. All at an appealing price. If Mazda gets this right, the CX-5 will not be a niche player. You’re going to see them all over your neighbourhood.

The CX-5 is, for the present, the future of Mazda.

It’s Mazda going all in for the first time with SkyActiv fuel-saving technologies. For instance, there is a new global platform architecture here, and it is 8 per cent lighter and 30 per cent more rigid than the company’s previous small-car architecture.

Most interesting, I think, is that this small-car architecture has yielded a fuel-efficient crossover that not only isn’t a bore to drive, but is almost as big as the current Mazda CX-7. SkyActiv at work.

Speaking of which, the heart of it, really, is Mazda’s new Skyactiv-G direct-injected, 2.0-litre, inline- four-cylinder gasoline engine. Director Technobabble had a long and detailed presentation to explain why this engine is so good, so strong, and so efficient and if you must know, the essence of it all is the 13:1 compression ratio using regular gas. Those who care about

former Ferries CEO David Hahn’s bonuses and benefits doubled his pay to more than $1 million.

Bonuses to TransLink executives were paid out earlier this year but are under a board-ordered review for future years and are also being examined as part of a provincial audit of the transportation authority.

Neither agencies are technically Crown corporations so are exempt from the rules.

Canadian Taxpayers Federation spokes-

man Jordan Bateman called it a “poke in the eye” for taxpayers that TransLink and BC Ferries are untouched.

“Those are the organizations most of us are most concerned with,” he said.

“You think of David Hahn – the milliondollar man. You think of TransLink giving themselves bonuses the same week they’re raising gas taxes.”

Bateman said the two bodies should have a “moral obligation” to voluntarily mirror the new rules.

compression ratios will know that’s a pretty good number for an everyday car.

If you could not care less, suffice to say the 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque are all there and pretty quickly. This Mazda is no slug.

And thanks to some fancy engine plumbing, the power comes on smoothly, without any knocking or hesitation. All very impressive.

Then there’s the new automatic transmission.

Delicious. Again, only a geek would care why the shifts are so good (the torque converter is basically on the job only during gear changes) but let me tell you, up-shifts are smooth and downshifts are rev-matched. They are seriously snappy, too.

As is the overall handling of the CX-5.

Meanwhile, the exterior design is an eye-grabber and the cabin is roomy, intelligently useful and airy. Outward visibility is exceptional, rearseat room is good for adults and the big cargo area expands thanks to near-flat folding rear seatback.

As family haulers go, the CX-5 looks like a winner. No, that’s damning with faint praise. Mazda, in fact, has just thrown down the gauntlet in this segment. The competition should start tearing down CX-5s ASAP.

Former BC Ferries CEO David Hahn became B.C.’s poster boy for executive bonus reform in 2009 when his total pay topped $1 million.

ConeZoneBC.com

As for other Crowns corporations, Bateman said much depends on whether the actual criteria set for holdback bonuses are easy or difficult to meet.

“It’s a positive step forward, but maybe a half step,” he said, noting 99 per cent of BC Hydro employees were able to meet their past targets for incentive pay.

“The idea that every person in the public service should always get a bonus for hitting targets was ridiculous.”

The new policy also says executives should earn no more than 85 per cent of the CEO’s salary.

The province also intends to phase out incentive pay for other non-executive staff, although it admits it can’t do so in cases where such payments have been negotiated into union contracts, as is the case at ICBC. Travel will be reimbursed using the same policy as government executives and vehicle allowances where required for business will be the only perk allowed, with any others being phased out.

History book marks Westie milestone The Royal Westminster Regiment is producing a pictorial history book to commemorate its 150th anniversary in 2013.

The book is being complied by a volunteer team and will contain a comprehensive collection of photographs, facts, memorabilia and records, many of which are being published for the first time.

“With a fighting Westie spirit and incredible record of duty, tradition and service commencing before Confederation, the book will be of interest to readers of all ages and backgrounds,” said Honorary Colonel Karen Baker-MacGrotty. “As the Royal Westminster Regiment celebrates 150 years of valiant military service of building and protecting our community, our country and on overseas missions, this book is produced as a tribute to all our brave men and women who have served our country with such distinction.”

The Royal Westminster Regiment is the oldest active military unit in British Columbia and serves the County of Westminster, a territory extending from Burnaby to Boston Bar. Its predecessor, the New Westminster Volunteer Rifles, were granted authority by Governor Douglas on November 20, 1863.

The regiment has a long history of community involvement. When the Great Fire swept through New Westminster in 1898 and again when record flooding afflicted the Fraser Valley in 1948, it supported the community through times of crisis. More recently, the regiment helped fight the Okanagan wild fires of 2003 and provided support to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

As a fighting force, the Westies have been involved in every major conflict of the post-Victorian era. The primary reserve light infantry battalion has served in the Boer War as well as the First and Second World Wars. It has also taken part in numerous oversees deployments on UN and NATO missions in Bosnia, Croatia, Cyprus, the Golan Heights, Sierra Leone and Afghanistan. Members are currently serving overseas in Afghanistan and the Sudan.

The regiment is currently looking for support for its book project. Sponsors who contribute over $500 will receive two limited edition numbered volumes with a custom slipcase, while those who donate $150 get one. Baker-MacGrotty and the volunteer book team will present them to sponsors and supporters at a VIP launch in November.

Standard editions can also be pre-ordered for $80 until Sept.

7 at www.vivalogue.ca and will be available before Christmas.

Official sales start on January 1.

Cycle of Hope finishes in Memorial Park Six riders from the Greater Victoria area are cycling 650 kilometres throughout B.C. this month to raise awareness and funds for families living with ALS. Inspired by a friend who recently lost her father to the disease, the group kicked off their ride in Kamloops last Wednesday and will be finishing in Hope on Saturday in Memorial Park. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cycle of Hope has

been my way of healing from the loss of my dad from this devastating disease,â&#x20AC;? said Cindy Lister, the rider behind the event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to raise awareness and much needed funds to find a cure for ALS.â&#x20AC;?

ALS (also known as Lou Gehrigâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Disease) is a progressive neuromuscular disease in which nerve cells die and leave voluntary muscles paralyzed.

Paddling Chilliwack’s Hope River Barry Stewart Hope Standard

Canoeists and kayakers looking for a safe and peaceful place to spend an afternoon should consider the Hope River, at the north end of Chilliwack.

From the Fraser River, up to the east end of Mount Shannon, there are some nine kilometres of navigable water — even more when the water is higher in springtime. Weeds and shallow spots make it unfriendly for motorized boats... thus perfect for paddlers. There’s not much elevation drop over the route, even less when the Fraser River is high and causing the Hope River to back up, so there’s not much current to deal with whichever direction you choose to go.

At its widest, this tributary might be five boat lengths across, so you’re never far from shore but you still need to follow normal boat safety practices and wear a personal floatation device.

There are three main access points where you can park your vehicle and launch your boat. The best of these is at the Lions’ Hall on Hope River Road, three to four kilometres east of Young Road.

Near the upper end of the route, you can park and launch at the corner of Hope River and Camp River Roads, though the parking is less abundant. If you intend to head down to the Fraser, another launch point is from the park at the north end of Corbould Street. Heading north on Young, it’s about one kilometre from Five Corners. Just before you cross the bridge near Minter’s Country Garden store, turn left on Berkeley Avenue and continue a few blocks until you get to Corbould.

On our trip, we headed down from Corbould first and got to the Fraser River in about 40 minutes. There’s plenty of time to turn around and avoid going into the current. Do that.

In 1856, Chilliwack Landing was a riverboat stop at the mouth of the Chilliwack River, just downstream of the mouth of the Hope River — before the Chilliwack River was diverted into the Vedder canal. Flooding and the lack of available land after the establishment of native reservations helped convince European settlers to take the townsite further inland.

Chilliwack Landing is now gone but the name lives on at the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre.

The origin of the name Hope River

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

The “Green Mile” of Chilliwack’s Hope River is perhaps the most picturesque part of the waterway, which has a number of easy access points for canoes and kayaks.

has been a bit of a mystery to me, which was made a little clearer after a visit to the Chilliwack Archives. Their 1856 map showed all of the local water bodies — so someone had done a comprehensive exploration — but the map didn’t include a label for the Hope River.

Fort Hope was established in 1848 and welcomed its first fur brigade via

Peers Creek in 1849. The Hudson Bay Company used flat-bottomed bateaux boats to bring the furs downriver to Fort Langley, then to carry trade goods back upstream to Fort Hope.

There was no evidence either way — but I would think that the bateaux boatsmen would have considered an upstream trip through the Hope and Camp River sloughs, as the current

is much easier than the Fraser’s. It also would have saved them about a kilometre, while bringing them back to the main river just downstream of where the Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge now sits.

Could the return trip to Hope have given the little river its name?

If not, perhaps it was from the New Westminster to Yale Waggon

Road, completed in 1875. That road was constructed along an established footpath that followed the Hope River from Mount Shannon through what is now Rosedale and on to Popkum, eventually bringing travelers to Hope.

In any case, Hope Slough is clearly labeled on an 1876 map. There was no Hope family listed in the Chilliwack area until after the First World War, so the river’s relationship to the trip to Hope must have factored in the naming of the river.

Back to the present: when the water gets low, in August and September, the one kilometre Young Road to Menzies Road section is especially weedy along the surface. It’s plain ugly and you might want to avoid it.

If you soldier through, it’s a little over an hour from Young Road to the top end of the route, at Meadowlands Golf Course.

Upstream from the Lions’ Hall, you pass under the Chartwell Drive bridge and you’ll soon be into what I call “The Green Mile,” a beautiful stretch of waving green swamp grass that brings you to the confluence of the Camp and Hope rivers. If you only have a bit of time, this is the part to paddle on.

In the 1940s and 1950s, Dayton’s Pool was a popular swimming hole, situated just upstream of the land bridge on Camp River Road. Now, only historic photos and memories remain. The Camp River is not easily navigable, due to human encroachment, so continue upstream on the Hope River for another kilometre, if you wish. As the water gets lower, fallen trees may restrict your passage.

If you’re confident in your boating skills — or have a waterproof camera — you might want to bring some photo gear along. You’re bound to come across wildlife such as beaver, muskrat, herons and bald eagles.

Long lenses and high shutter speeds will give you the best results on wildlife shots but due to the instability of the boat, you’ll likely need to be in the 1/1000th speed range to avoid motion blur on long lenses. Go faster, if you can manage it.

Considering the wing motion of a heron launching from the weeds, you’ll be glad of a quick shutter.

Speaking from experience, 1/350th just results in a blurred bird.

Bring along a picnic lunch and enjoy your day on the Hope River, a gentle, meandering waterway.
