Questions raised over water usage Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

A local advocacy group is calling for an overhaul of the provincial Water Act. The WaterWealth Project argues that a lack of water regulations in B.C. currently allows companies, such as NestlĂŠ Waters Canada, to bottle and resell the natural resource for free.

The food and beverage giant is not required to measure, report or pay for the 269 million litres of water it draws annually from the Kawkawa Lake subwatershed – the same aquifer shared with the District of Hope. “The government in Victoria is not responsibly ensuring that the natural resources we have in the province are being used to the best interest and to the most benefit of the people who

live here,� said campaign director Sheila Muxlow.

The WaterWealth Project is advocating for water law reform that respects Aboriginal rights and title, 100 per cent community control over decisions that impact regional waters, and the implementation of strong safeguards for water from contamination, pollution and diversions.

Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness acknowledges that it’s time to modernize the Water Act and supports a provincial framework that addresses some of these concerns. “We charge the residents of Hope and the residents of the City of Chilliwack to use water, so I don’t see why we shouldn’t be charging something for industry,� he said. “There needs to be an incentive to use water efficiently and I would see that as some kind of a

price on what is a valuable resource.�

The provincial government has promised a Water Sustainability Act in 2014 which will protect aquifers and drinking water resources, as well provide a fair framework for industry to work within. “There’s going to be a white paper that’s coming out in the next couple months which will basically be the draft legislation,� said Throness. “We’re going to get comments on that and I am going to represent my constituents who are telling me there needs to be some kind of charge on water for industry.�

NestlĂŠ Waters Canada currently pays a water usage fee for its operation in Ontario and would have no problem doing the same here if provincial legislation changed. “We have no objection to paying

our fair share for the water that we draw in Hope, but we believe that everybody should pay their fair share – all companies, municipalities, power authorities and large private concerns,� said John B. Challinor, director of corporate affairs for NestlÊ Waters Canada.

Even though the company is not required to measure and report their water usage in Hope, it has been voluntarily reporting to the District of Hope since establishing operations in the community 13 years ago. They also produce a public annual report detailing water quality and quantity. “We need to know how much water we’re drawing and we need to understand if there are any impacts created by our business on the aquifer,� said Challinor.

Cougars spotted in Hope Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

The Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee and local conservation officers have issued a cougar alert in the Hope area.

Numerous sightings have recently been reported, with the latest at the end of Acacia Drive on Aug. 15. A dog was also attacked by a cougar last week along the Fraser River near Wardle Street and there’s reports of another dog killed by a cougar two weeks.

“We live in wildlife country so the chance that cougars, bobcats or bears will go through town is natural. But they should definitely not stick around,” said Lydia Koot, chair of the Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee. “It’s really important

A cougar alert has been issued in Hope after several sightings.

that people do call it in if there’s a sighting.”

Residents are asked to stop feeding wildlife as rats, squirrels and raccoons are natural prey for cougars and bobcats.

“Be aware of the dangers you get yourself and the whole neighbourhood into by doing so,” said Koot. “You are attracting dangerous wildlife and could be subject to a fine under the Wild-

life Act.” According to the Conservation Officer Service, cougars seem to be attracted to children, possibly because of their highpitched voices, small size and erratic movements.

These character traits may make it difficult for cougars to identify children as humans and not prey. Parents are reminded to never leave children outside unsupervised,

keep a radio playing, and make sure children are home before dusk and stay indoors until after dawn – the period of time cougars are most active. Pet owners are also reminded to not let their dogs run off-leash.

If you encounter a cougar, remain calm, keep the animal in view, and pick up children immediately. The Conservation Officer Service also recommends making yourself as a big as possible, never running or turning your back on the cougar, or making sudden movement. If a cougar attacks, fight back and focus on the cougar’s face and eyes.

If a cougar is spotted in the area, residents are asked to report the sighting immediately to 1-877-952-7277.

Prolific offender appears in court Vikki Hopes Black Press

Prolific offender Dave Yaroslawsky had accumulated so much stolen property in early 2012 that he had rented a storage locker in Aldergrove to stash it.

When police arrested him in Langley that March, he had also stored numerous items in his vehicle and in the Langley motel room where he was hiding out.

For that, Yaroslawksy deserves a jail term of five to six years, Crown counsel Jas Gahunia recently recommended in B.C. Supreme Court in New Westminster during the start of Yaroslawsky’s sentencing hearing.

The Surrey man, 31, previously pleaded guilty to 32 counts related to items stolen mainly from homes in Abbotsford, Surrey, Langley, Hope and Chilliwack in early 2012. These offences included numerous counts of possession of stolen property, using a stolen credit card, possessing stolen ID, and two weapons charges.

Yaroslawsky was originally charged with almost 60 offences, but did not plead guilty to any of the multiple break-and-enter

counts he faced, claiming he was a “fence” for the stolen property and was not involved in the breakins.

Gahunia detailed a long list of residences that experienced breakins and which had items stolen that were later found in Yaroslawsky’s possession. These objects included cameras, computers, iPods, TVs and other electronics; car and house keys; jewelry; cash; prescription drugs; and various forms of ID, including passports, Care Cards, social insurance cards, and credit cards.

One of the break-ins involved a Fido store in Surrey in which two men stole $500 cash, cellphones and SIM cards.

Three guns were also pilfered in two separate thefts – one from a vehicle and the other from a home.

In several of the breakins, the suspects urinated on the floors and furniture. The first key piece of evidence arose from a Chilliwack robbery on Feb. 23, 2012, when an 83-year-old woman arrived home to find an unfamiliar green Chevy Blazer in her driveway.

Two men dressed in dark clothing rushed past

her as she stepped into her kitchen, and fled in the Blazer.

The vehicle was captured on a neighbour’s video surveillance camera, and images of the truck were released through the media. The Blazer was registered to Yaroslawsky. The following month, police received a call from staff at the Super 8 Motel on Glover Road in Langley who became suspicious when Yaroslawsky checked in but refused to register his vehicle’s licence plate and asked whether he could use a back door to transfer possessions to his room.

A second man later joined Yaroslawsky.

When police arrived, they discovered a Chevy Blazer in the parking lot that matched the one that had been seen at the Chilliwack robbery.

Yaroslawsky and the other man attempted to leave through a window, but retreated to their room when they saw police. They did not leave the room until two hours later, at which point they were arrested.

Warrants were obtained by police to search the hotel room, the Blazer and a storage locker

for which they found a rental agreement in Yaroslawsky’s vehicle.

All three areas turned up hundreds of items – including three loaded guns hidden in a maintenance panel in the hotel room bathroom – that had previously been reported stolen. The storage locker, rented in Yaroslawsky’s name, was packed with objects that included five flat-screen TVs. Yarowslasky had also been caught on video surveillance at a gas station using a bank card just hours after it had been stolen and on which he had purchased more than $1,200 worth of goods.

Gahunia asked the judge, in reaching a sentencing decision, to consider that Yaroslawsky has a criminal history dating back to 1995 – when he was 13 – and has 46 prior convictions for crimes such as assault, break and enter, and drug possession and trafficking.

He was on probation at the time of his arrest in Langley.

The defence’s submission and the judge’s decision on sentencing have not yet been made.

The matter is next scheduled for Nov. 1.

Water is managed sustainably: Nestlé From 1

“Today we draw less than one per cent of the water that is available to be drawn from that subwatershed,” “We’re investing millions of dollars in that plant every year. It would be fool-hearty to jeopardize our water resource there and be shut down. We have to manage it for sustainability.”

Challinor said he’s not aware of water management practices being a concern for local residents.

However, he admits there have been some complaints about truck traffic on Othello Road, mostly relating to trucks stopping, drivers littering, and trucks speeding.

Nestlé Waters Canada has worked with the district to put up signage

and warned truck companies about unacceptable behaviour.

“We police it and we’ve gotten rid of drivers and truck companies that failed to obey these requirements,” said Challinor. “We are the biggest employer in the community and we pay a lot of taxes. But we also have a responsibility to our neighbours.”

Co-accused Ivan Logan Johnson of New Westminster faces almost 60 charges and is next scheduled to appear in Surrey provincial court on Sept. 6.

Yale Historic Site and Hope Mountain Centre teamed up last weekend to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the completion of the Cariboo Wagon Road, from Yale to Spuzzum.

Declared the “eighth wonder of the world” when it was completed in 1865, the Wagon Road played a key role in the gold rush economy of the 1860s and in the development of the new colony of British Columbia.

Hope Mountain Centre led a historic guided tour of the Cariboo Wagon Road on Saturday. A bus took participants up the Fraser Canyon to see Lady Franklin Rock and some surviving sections of the Wagon Road. After a scenic lunch beside the Fraser River, the bus headed up the highway to Alexandra Bridge before returning to Yale Historic Site for a salmon barbecue hosted by the Yale and District Ratepayers. There was also a performance of “Tales and Trails of the Canyon” by Hope Performing Arts Community Theatre on Saturday night.

On Sunday, St. John the Divine hosted historian John Mitchell’s talk, “B.C.’s Road to Gold: The story of the Cariboo Wagon Road.” The presentation was followed by a rededication of the Cariboo Wagon Road in the park at the foot of Albert and Front streets in Yale. A park enhancement project, which includes a new National Historic Site plaque, information kiosk and picnic table, was completed through a partnership between Parks Canada, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Emil Anderson Maintenance, Province of B.C., Fraser Valley Regional District Area B, Yale & District Historical Society, and the Yale & District Ratepayers. Following the re-dedication ceremony, there was an open house of the newly conserved Ward House.

Poster boy for justice reform He hit homes in Abbotsford, Surrey, Langley, Hope and Chilliwack in early 2012.

Originally charged with 60 offences, the perpetrator eventually pleaded guilty to 32 counts of possession of stolen property, using a stolen credit card, possessing stolen ID, and two weapons charges.

He stashed a small mountain of stolen goods in an Aldergrove storage locker, in his vehicle, and in a Langley motel room.

These items included cameras, computers, iPods, TVs and other electronics; car and house keys; jewelry; cash; prescription drugs; and various forms of ID, including passports, Care Cards, social insurance cards, credit cards and three loaded guns.

Until his latest arrest, Dave Yaroslawsky was a one-man crime wave.

And we say latest because this is simply the most recent chapter of the criminal legacy left behind by this man, who has a criminal history dating back to 1995 – when he was 13 – and has 46 prior convictions for crimes such as assault, break and enter, and drug possession and trafficking.

You read that right ... 46 convictions.

Crown is asking for a jail term of five to six years on this set of charges.

We’d like to ask something else.

How is it that Yaroslawsky could rack up that many convictions in the last two decades, and yet be free to carry on stealing and pillaging?

How is it possible this man has not been identified as a habitual criminal and incarcerated accordingly?

The cost to society in terms of the property loss, law enforcement and court proceedings for which this one individual is responsible must run in the millions of dollars.

He is a hugely expensive poster boy for criminal justice reform.

Pressure on for skills training B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Advanced Education Minister Amrik Virk has offered some advice for students heading for postsecondary education this fall.

In a commentary sent to B.C. newspapers, Virk reminded students that his task “is to ensure post-secondary students obtain the experience and qualifications needed to put a paycheque in their back pocket.”

B.C. is forecast to have one million jobs to fill by 2020, through a combination of retirements and economic growth. More than 40 per cent of them will require trades and technical training, and for students, likely a move north.

“My advice to students is to look at where the jobs are based and tailor their education and training to match,” Virk wrote. “Our population is concentrated in the Lower Mainland and southern Vancouver Island, but as a resource-based economy, many directly and indirectly related jobs are located elsewhere.”

That’s not the only blunt message for students deciding on a career. While defending his ministry’s spending plans in the recent legislature session, Virk described some of the problems that are entrenched.

Parents, particularly in immigrant communities, push their children towards medicine, law, dentistry or engineering, he noted. Students themselves gravitate toward areas that are familiar to them, such as teaching.

B.C. universities graduated 2,000

new teachers last year. Another 850 arrived from out of province and were licensed to teach in B.C. During the same year, the B.C. school system hired 800 teachers. And many of those jobs were outside metropolitan areas.

It’s been hammered into us by the B.C. government’s endless “jobs plan” advertising, and a similar campaign by Ottawa, that more students need to focus on trades and resource industries. Virk acknowledges that his budget contains another $1 million for advertising, the same as last year, much of it to reinforce the need to fill skilled jobs. But he danced around the question of whether there will be spaces in technical programs.

NDP critics say the waiting list for these kinds of programs at Kwantlen University and B.C. Institute of Technology are running between a year and three years. And

Standard

they have frequently noted that advanced education spending is budgeted to decline by $42 million over the next three years.

Virk said post-secondary institutions working with industry have produced 456 additional seats in high-demand programs for this year. It’s a start.

In July, Premier Christy Clark joined the chorus of premiers protesting Ottawa’s plan to claw back $300 million in federal training money to provinces, for its new employer-driven Canada Jobs Grant.

Clark and New Brunswick Premier David Alward were assigned to find an alternative to this drastic shift and report back in the fall.

As usual, the NDP spent lots of time grilling Virk about student debt and the alleged need to reduce it. Ministry statistics show that about 30 per cent of students take out loans from the federal-provin-

cial program, and the average is $20,000.

One of the latest changes is a program of grants that go toward student debt as a reward for those who complete their chosen program. With 23,000 students collecting $41 million in grants, it might be working. For all the fuss about student debt, students pay only about a third of costs. The rest is on taxpayers, whether it produces any useful education or not.

Virk is under instructions to review the student loan program “to find further improvements to meet students’ needs.” Given the magnitude of the gap between what skills our education system produces and what the economy needs, a larger shift in priorities is needed.

Hope Community Children’s Centre (HCCC) is opening on Sept. 9.

Over the summer, some very exciting changes have been made.

The facility has had a brand new face lift and the HCCC board has hired two new, very experienced and dynamic early childhood educators. The staff for this year are: Lousha Angel (ECD), HCCC manager, with 26 years experience as an educator and manager; Sandi Swecera (ECE), preschool teacher, who has received the Governor’s Award of Excellence for providing quality care as an early childhood educator; Monique Chiasson, ECE assistant, who is completing

her ECE and will be mentored by the new teacher’s during the afternoon program. The educators have made many wonderful changes. A very high quality preschool program will be offered Monday-Thursday from 9-11:30 a.m. A Reggio Emilia inspired full-time and part-time daycare program will run from Monday-Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. These programs will offer school-readiness and many holistic elements such as: • A regular music program for the children taught by the local music teacher Jill Last • An amazing emergent literacy program (high quality books, oral stories, story baskets,

puppets, language development, songs, fingerplays) • Discovery science & nature program (including outdoor explorations & connections to nature) • Creative artist expressions program (with help from volunteer local artists) • Stories & yoga during rest time • Culture and classroom visitors • Exercise & games • Social skills/problem solving/critical thinking skills and seeds of empathy (care about each other, our community, and the world) • Field trips and classroom

Christian Men’s Breakfast Group celebrates 20 years Hope Christian Men’s Breakfast Group chose Saturday, Aug. 17 as the date to celebrate 20 years of monthly meetings in Hope.

A free chicken and salad picnic was provided by the Hope Christian Men’s Group to the men and their families at an outdoor event booked with one of the local camps.

The weather was pleasant and the facilities provided a great venue for music, visiting, hiking and celebration.

Darwin Gartner initiated the monthly Christian men’s breakfast in 1993. Darwin’s intent was to bring community men together to encourage them to build godly relationships by sharing aspects of their personal spiritual journey with Jesus Christ. More than 100 different men have had opportunity to share and encourage other men with their stories of spiritual transformation and redemption. The first inter-church men’s breakfast meetings were held at the Rupert

Taylor Restaurant which was later demolished to build Cooper’s Foods. The group has met monthly in a variety of restaurants since that time and has often had to transition due to business closures or has outgrown several venues which could offer only limited seating/service for large groups. The leadership of the inter-church group is generally appointed by local clergy/ministers in our community and therefore individual men from several of Hope’s local congregation’s fulfill some aspect of leadership within the group.

During the past decades, the group has occasionally organized men’s choirs to participate in community Christmas festivals and financially assisted The Joshua Project as needs became obvious. Several men from the group currently assist with the soup kitchen efforts. During the first decade the men of the group would annually get together to cook dinner for their wives and daughters,

but discontinued the event when Hope could not provide facilities that could offer the men a kitchen and a venue to seat more than the 160 people who attended the final event. As a result, the group endeavoured to host an outdoor barbecue or picnic event each year as an alternative large event so the men can bring their families together for a day of fun, food and fellowship. The Hope Christian Men’s Group had opportunity to start a second men’s breakfast gathering in December 2012.

The two breakfast meeting groups now meet on different weekends on both the last Saturday and the first Saturday of each month. The original breakfast meeting group is currently meeting at 7 a.m. on the last Saturday of each month at Kimchi Restaurant and the new 9 a.m. breakfast meeting group meets at the KanYon Restaurant on the first Saturday of every month. Visitors are welcome.

Fraser sockeye run size upgraded but concerns linger River temperatures are still a worry Jeff Nagel Black Press

The estimated size of the Fraser River sockeye run was boosted Friday as more inbound salmon are arriving later than anticipated in the waters around Vancouver Island.

The Pacific Salmon Commission now estimates the main summer run of sockeye at 2.3 million fish, up from two million as of Aug. 13, and the early summer run is now pegged at 520,000 fish, up from 475,000.

The overall run size is currently estimated at just over three million, with late-run sockeye that were projected to add 583,000 not yet included

Sockeye salmon heading upstream to spawn are running into river temperatures around 21 degrees.

in the count.

That’s well below the 4.8 million run size forecast for this summer, but an improvement from the 1.6 million return of four years ago that triggered the Cohen Inquiry.

There’s still deep concern that high river temperatures of around 21

degrees – 3.3 degrees higher than average – may kill up to 70 per cent of the incoming sockeye before they can spawn.

That prompted the commission to scale back test fishing to reduce pressure on the stock and DFO cut off all sports angling for salmon on the

lower Fraser to avoid any sockeye bycatch there.

Observers have reported seeing more floating carcasses in the river but the PSC said most sockeye swimming upriver appear to be in good condition so far.

There’s still no expectation of any more commercial or aboriginal food fishery openings for sockeye. Close to nine million pink salmon are also forecast to arrive, however, and large numbers of that species are now being detected, suggesting an even bigger run than predicted.

A big pink run could allow fishery openings in September.

The BC Liberals spent $11.75 million this year on their way to a come-from-behind provincial election victory.

The governing party, which listed $8.5 million in donations, out-spent the NDP, which listed spending of $9.4 million and received $9.7 million.

The disclosures released by Elections BC Monday include amounts spent before the formal 60-day campaign period when specific limits apply.

The Liberals spent more in advance of the May 15 election.

Corporate contributors gave $5 million in donations to the Liberals, followed by individuals at $2.4 million, unincorporated businesses at $420,000 and $385,000 from other sources.

NDP got nearly $2.6 million from individuals, $2.5 million from trade unions and $2.1 million from corporations.

The Green Party of B.C., which won its historic first seat in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, did so on spending of just $180,000.

The Green Party spent more than the B.C. Conservative Party,

which listed $155,000 in expenses.

The central party expenses don’t count the additional spending at the local level by individual candidates or constituency associations.

Organizations that filed expense reports as election advertising sponsors ranged from large groups like the B.C. Teachers Federation and the Mining Association of B.C. to tiny ones like Kamloops Moms for Clean Air and Denman Opposes Coal.

The bulk of sponsors were teachers unions, other labour organizations, or environmental groups.

Ongoing bonuses at BC Ferries send ‘wrong message’ Jeff Nagel Black Press

Despite rising fares and looming service cuts, top executives at BC Ferries still collected big performance bonuses this year.

President and CEO Michael Corrigan got a $64,421 “incentive payment” on top of a base salary that was up eight per cent to $364,000 for a total of $563,000 in overall remuneration – the maximum allowed after a cap on payouts was put in place last year.

BC Ferries’ executive compensation disclosure says Corrigan’s bonus reflects his “exemplary leadership” that was borne out by the corporation beating its financial target for the 201213 fiscal year.

Chief financial officer Robert Clark got more than $133,000 in incentive pay and executive vice-president Glen Schwartz got an extra $127,000 based on performance.

Both of their bonuses were almost twice as high as a year earlier and the two collected close to $500,000 overall.

None of the payouts are anywhere near as high as the more than $1 million that former CEO David Hahn received in some past years until he left the corporation and the government eliminated additional long-term bonuses and imposed the compensation cap.

Managers were eligible for their full incentive pay this year because of the $15-million surplus BC Ferries posted for last year.

In the previous two years, they got only half as much incentive pay because the corporation missed its financial targets.

But NDP critic Nicholas Simons said the new surplus is a fiction because of the $21.5 million in additional subsidies the province injected.

“The only reason they got their full bonuses was because the government provided that increased service fee,” Simons said.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone wasn’t available for an interview but issued a statement saying the executive payouts send the “wrong

It was another year of full steam ahead for incentive bonuses handed out to BC Ferries executives.

message” at a time when BC Ferries is struggling to reduce its expenses.

He said he will speak to the BC Ferries board to outline the province’s expectations for all executives at Crown corporations.

“While BC Ferries isn’t a Crown corporation, they do receive provincial government funding and we would expect them to follow suit,” Stone said. “Gov-

ernment is tightening its belt, along with many British Columbians, and I believe that BC Ferries should take the same approach.”

Simons, however, said the BC Liberals have had plenty of time to act.

“Four ministers in a row have been saying how disappointed or disturbed or shocked they are when they see this exorbitant compensation,” Simons said. “The

reality is they’ve done nothing about it.”

The Powell-River Sunshine Coast MLA said his constituents are apoplectic because they’re ferry-dependent and have seen fares rise on average 75 per cent over the last 10 years.

BC Ferries has reduced its executive by almost half and cut their overall salaries by more than 50 per cent, Stone noted.

Diane Trepanier is hoping to help ease the financial burden of back to school.

After receiving a Facebook message from a woman who couldn’t afford clothing and school supplies this year, she decided to help her and others by collecting a range of donated items for different grade levels. Trepanier spread the word though her Facebook page “Sharing n Caring, Hope B.C.” and requests from families in need have been pouring in.

“I really want to help kids as much as I can.

Nobody will ever pay for anything,” said Trepanier. “There’s a lot of young parents here in this town with kids who can’t afford groceries, rent, and clothing. My goal is just to financially be able to help them out a little bit.”

Trepanier has spent the last eight months helping families from Hope, Chilliwack, Boston Bar and Prince George through Sharing n Caring. The idea for the project started after Trepanier heard local families couldn’t afford the prices of used clothing. She soon started collecting items

for all ages and filling requests. All donated clothing is washed and dried by Trepanier, and then categorized into boxes and stored in a bedroom in her house.

“Clothing is always in great demand for so many families, and I sometimes have difficulty keeping up with my list of requests, but I do my best,” she said.

“I want to help so kids aren’t bullied in schools.

A lot of kids can’t afford to have the clothing that other kids have. They can come here and get it. You don’t want them to be ashamed of what they’re getting.”

Trepanier is currently accepting clothing that is not soiled, stained or torn. She said men’s clothing as well as items for teenage boys are rarely dropped off, but needed.

“I am only doing what

makes me happy, making life easier for other families,” she added.

“The people who donate are the ones to be acknowledged. Without them I couldn’t do this.”

Anyone that would like find out more information about Sharing n Caring, or to donate items, can contact Trepanier through her Facebook page or call 604-869-5488.

Caregiver Support Group “I am more calm and better able to deal with my loved one.”

The Crew wraps up the summer Concerts in the Park series this weekend in Memorial Park.

The local band evolved from a group of friends/ musicians getting together with the common goal of “building a cultural sense via the blues.”

Greg Bradbury is a long-time member of The Crew, the former house band at Skinny’s Grill in Hope. He started playing guitar at age of 15 with some of the local blues musicians. Bradbury later went on the road with various rock bands and opened for acts such as the Headpins and Barney Bental.

Adriaan Abeling started as a drummer in 1966 and then switched to rhythm guitar, percussion and songwriting in his early teens. Playing across Canada and the United States with a variety of professionals, he found his niche in life. Abeling started singing and playing the blues and country music early on and was influenced by these styles in many way. He now

focuses on the blues as a mainstay and has been a songwriter for about 20 years.

Jake Cowan started playing bass guitar at the age of 10 with his father and brothers in a band called the Bluetones. He spent most weekends performing a mix of 1960s rock and blues throughout venues in the Interior.

Cowan moved to Hope in 2000, the day after he graduated from university.

Ebi Fazzari provides the drum beat for The Crew.

He is a founding member of the Hoodlums and travelled all over Canada in his younger days playing the club scene.

The free concert on Aug. 24 takes place in conjunction with the Hope Mountain Market from 12-2 p.m. at the band shell. The summer Concerts in the Park series is presented by the Hope & District Arts Council, with funding from the province through B.C. Gaming.

Bottles of water donated by Nestle Waters

will be distributed for free at the concert along with ice donated by Buy & Save Foods.

ily-oriented expedition will capture the sense of excitement as a new generation of Chinese Canadians rediscover their connection with the landscape and the First Nations of the Fraser River corridor,” said Yu, who is one of the expedition’s key organizers.

A joint-project of the New Pathways to Gold Society (NPTGS) and the Chinese Canadian Historical Society of B.C. (CCHSBC), the expedition takes a party of Chinese Canadians and other adventurers to such historic sites as the Xwisten fishing rocks, Browning’s Diggings and China Bar. They’ll explore this historic landscape and learn more

about the connection between the early Chinese pioneers who came during the Gold Rush and the First Nations of the Fraser.

Their journey will be documented by an experienced film crew that has produced multiple videos for UBC, including the Chinese Canadian Stories series (chinesecanadian). Yu said he hopes to produce three short films (one each in Mandarin, Cantonese and English, all with Chinese character subtitles) to show potential travellers in prime tourism markets how the trip is engaging, fun and educational.

Lily Chow, NPTGS multicultural director,

said the expedition will provide material for educational and promotional products that celebrate the “Cedar-Bamboo” connection between Chinese-Canadians and the First Nations.

“The films produced as a result of this expedition will help educate Chinese immigrants and tourist visitors who may have little or no knowledge of the close relationship between early Chinese Canadians and the First Nations of B.C.,” said Chow, academic, author and an authority of the Cedar-Bamboo connection.

“We hope this will encourage people from here to China to rediscover and explore the unique history of the First Nations-Chinese Canadian connection and visit the Gold Rush/Spirit Trails,” said Chapman.

The expedition will be guided by Fraser River Rafting Expeditions of Yale.

“The Gold Rush/Spirit Trails corridor from Hope to Barkerville has both amazing heritage tourism assets and educational potential,” added Terry Raymond, NPTGS co-chair. “We hope to educate people about its unique history as well as attract more visitors to the corridor.”

Formed in 2004, the CCHS is a non-profit organization dedicated to sharing stories of the history of Chinese Canadians in British Columbia.

The organization strives to increase the understanding of such stories through research, documentation, preservation, and education.

The Chilliwack Chiefs play a preseason exhibition match at Hope Arena on Aug. 27 against the Coquitlam Express. The evening kicks off with a tailgate party in the rec centre parking lot at 5 p.m.

BLACK PRESS FILE PHOTO

Chiefs plays preseason match in Hope Community celebration planned in advance of exhibition game Barry Stewart Hope Standard

Hockey season will start with a bang on Tuesday, Aug. 27, when the Chilliwack Chiefs meet the Coquitlam Express in the Hope Arena for a preseason exhibition match.

It’s not just a game, though. Organizers have grabbed hold of the opportunity and have turned it into a community celebration. The puck drop is at 7 p.m., but the evening kicks off at 5 p.m. with a tailgate party in the rec centre parking lot. There will be face painting, street hockey, sidewalk chalk and a musical performance by Crossfire.

Hope Minor Hockey will be run-

ning a hot dog and hamburger barbecue — and they’ll be the recipients of $2 for each $7 game ticket sold.

Lloyd Forman, FVRD Area A director and chair of the Fraser Valley Regional District Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services Commission, was enthused by the plans for the big day.

“This kind of event is the epitome of what the town should be doing,” he said. “What we can do is build a sense of community and that it’s a great place to live. This really builds community and attracts businesses that value that local spirit.”

Forman, who lives in Boston Bar, learned to play hockey when he was

growing up in Saskatchewan.

“I loved it! I played four hours a day until I got married,” he recalled.

“I wasn’t very big but I was a good skater.

“Hockey is great for kids,” added Forman. “You learn to give and take.

“From the Chiefs point of view, I think it’s good marketing… spreading their fan base,” said Forman. I went to their game last year and it was a full house. These juniors play with so much passion.”

Barry Douglas, the Chiefs’ director of marketing and sales, said there would be a number of things to watch for in the game.

“Barry Wolfe, the former assistant

coach when we were in Langley, is now the head coach of the Express,” said Douglas.

“There are also three former Chiefs playing for Coquitlam,” he added. “There was a deadline deal last season, where we traded Shay Laurent, Garrett Forster and Ben Israel for Philip Zielonka — who ended up being one of our top scorers in the playoffs.”

Zielonka is playing for Harvard this year, so you won’t see him in at this game.

“The Chiefs have a long history with the community of Hope,” said Douglas. “We’ve had players like Brad Loring, Aaron Hoggan and

Mawhinney will be announcing at the Hope event.

“We’re having home-and-away games with the Surrey Eagles, August 23 and 24… on the 24th in Chilliwack,” said Douglas. “The game in Hope is the second-last in the preseason, so we should have our numbers cut down. The players will really be fighting to get the final spots on the roster.”

Tickets are on sale now at the Hope rec centre – $7 each for all ages.

District News August 2013

Notices

Council Briefs

Kawkawa Lake Road – 7th Avenue Four Way Stop

Clean Energy Vehicle Program – BC Hydro

Many people are wondering why the District has installed a four-way stop at the intersection of Kawkawa Lake Road and 7th Avenue. Prior to the recent paving, the two existing crosswalks were not in accordance with the BC Uniform Traffic Control Standards and often viewed as unsafe. These old crosswalks were at acute angles and did not align with the new walk path.

As part of this project we had certified traffic engineers analyze the issues and propose solutions. The engineers noted the misalignment issues and the fact that traffic along Kawkawa Lake Road often exceeded the posted speed limit of 50kph. This posed a distinct threat to pedestrians crossing and the hill down to the Kawkawa Lake Bridge poses additional limited visibility issues for drivers as they approach the intersection from the east. We must be reminded that there is significant pedestrian traffic that uses that intersection including people living in the nearby Riverwynd Estates and those visiting the Tillicum Centre.

The Provincial Government has directed BC Hydro to undertake the Clean Energy Vehicle Program. Hope has been selected as a natural fit for a station as it straddles a key communications and transport nexus between Highways. The Chief Administrative Officer has been working with BC Hydro to determine a suitable location, proposed to be on the south side of the 400 block of Wallace Street, and work out the terms of the agreement.

Shaw Go! Wi-Fi Services Council directed staff to enter into an agreement with Shaw Cable Systems Limited for the purpose of providing free Wi-Fi internet in and around Hope’s downtown core.

2012 Municipal Report The District of Hope 2012 Annual Report was brought back to Council after being advertised to the Public; Council approved the Annual Report as presented.

The engineers proposed three possible improvements; 1. Install a pedestrian controlled intersection light system, flashing green light (cost estimate $55,000) 2. Install a flashing yellow pedestrian light system (cost estimate $ 35,000) 3. Install a four way stop with new island (cost estimate $5,500)

Public Concerns regarding Property Taxes

After due consideration, the decision was taken to achieve traffic control standards compliance and enhanced pedestrian safety in the most cost effective way – a four way stop. To date we have received both complaints and compliments and we continue to track the issue.

Work at the Landfill continues at a fast pace. Recently large sections of leachate control and runoff piping have been installed. Quarrying is still underway and is planned to be complete no later than the end of August. The first third of the waste fill site is being prepared for liner installation and final capping. Work has also started on upgrading the leachate treatment plant and creating a wetland area to restore the north side of the Landfill to a more pristine condition. The temporary transfer station is up and running and again we appreciate your patience as we undertake this project.
