Nestlé controversy at the Blue Moose Erin Knutson Hope Standard

CBC radio came to the Blue Moose for a live discussion with Mayor Wilfried Vicktor and concerned resident’s over a circulating petition that was started by the environmental group SumOfUs, regarding the Nestlé plant in Hope, which is currently the largest in B.C. on Monday.

The “Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry — for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” headline of the petition has parties concerned there is an element of truth to it.

A plethora of voices (experts, environmentalists, citizens and First Nations) were heard in

the hour long discussion that broached climate change, indigenous rights over the resource and commercial water sales, as well as a lack of comprehensive information available on the subject of where, how much, and for what purpose B.C.’s water is being used.

With the advent of the new Water Sustainability Act that was disclosed by Environment Minister Mary Polak on Friday — it was made clear B.C. will not be the only province that does not subscribe to the regulation of groundwater use.

Polak responded during a press release to the media with this statement.

“People keep saying there’s a deal with

Nestlé — there isn’t. They pay the same as any other industrial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy industrial uses.”

The rate is low because of the decommodification policy regarding the resource, so as not to be ranked with oil, or mineral under trade agreements that would render provincial input to a minimum, leaving the water market open for foreign bodies to step in.The change in legislation was brought in with the help of industrialists and First Nation’s who are concerned with salmon population and healthy water systems.

Council Briefs

The District of Hope is seeking a motivated individual for the position of Director of Finance.

A full copy of the job posting and job description can be found on the District of Hope web site at www.hope.ca.

Presentation by Barrick Gold Corporation Representatives from Barrick Gold Corporation discussed the Giant Nickel Tailings Storage Facility Remediation Program. This program is being undertaken in response to Provincial review of tailings storage facilities following the 2014 Mt. Polley Mine tailings pond failure.

Are you prepared in the event of an Urban Interface Wildfire?

The current wildfire situation in the province should serve as a reminder to be prepared should you be required to evacuate your home and learn what the procedures would be should the need arise. Area firefighters are well equipped to respond to incidents but doing your part can make their job easier.

For more information on Emergency Social Services www.ess.bc.ca

Barrick Gold representatives discussed their 2015/2016 workplan, which includes increasing the capacity of the lower tailings storage facility, de-watering the upper and lower ponds, re-grading the ponds to eliminate future ponding and constructing a storm channel to divert storm water around the facility. These plans are in response to orders by the Ministry of Energy & Mines.

CN Proposed Tie Grinding Plant Council directed that a letter be sent to CN requesting a meeting with CN representatives in order to obtain details of the proposed tie grinding plant.

The act will ensure that government has a say in the intended use of the water, while maintaining that emergencies such as droughts are dealt with by officials.

Fees are now being enforced to large-scale users, for an annual rate of 85 cents per 1,000 cubic metres of groundwater.

According to Polak the Nestlé plant in Hope would pay an estimated $400 for the extraction of 319.5 million litres.

The province would be expecting an additional $5 million from the fees and is also seeking input from the populace until mid-November.

MLA Laurie Throness (left) and Hope Club Rotary Club President Hondo Stroyan enjoy a moment at the annual inauguration ceremony. Stroyan has begun his year-long term and aspires to connect with the community as a volunteer who loves Hope.

Hope Rotary has a new president Erin Knutson Hope Standard

Hondo Stroyan recently took over the presidency of the Hope Rotary Club from former esteemed president John Fortoloczky in the annual inauguration ceremony, which was held at the Olympic Flame Grill.

Members gathered with family and friends as awards were given for various achievements within the organization. Stroyan took the helm gracefully, and is committed to serving the community of Hope in the style demanded by an international group that has been in existence since 1946. The Rotary is currently involved in several community projects and is working on the development of new ones.

The active rotarian told the Hope Standard that he joined the club four years ago, because of its solid members and a stalwart reputation for contributing to society.

“My role as the president is to interact with the

The club is proud to offer scholarships and is the only non-profit organization that holds a seat in the UN, where they have nearly eradicated polio from Nigeria, after granting $150 million to the cause. That grant was matched by Bill Gates for $300 million and the federal government chipped in for a whopping total of $450 million to put toward ending the disease.

Hope was also the recipient of the organization’s fundraising efforts and was granted $51,000 to the successful completion of the Bike Park.

Opinion

Published by Black Press Limited at 540 Wallace St., Hope, BC V0X 1L0

Bombarded by election propaganda As we head off into the mid-summer season it’s time to clear the cobwebs of the brain with a little ranting and raving in order to stay sane while trying to not sweat the small stuff (and it’s all small stuff folks) when it’s already too hot outside.

That’s the thing about summertime when the living is good and it’s difficult to take anything seriously when in holiday mode, or coping with the heat mode or just plain hitting the beach mode.

And in this part of the globe one has to keep one’s eye on the calendar (it’s getting near the end of July already folks) or this thing we call summer will be over before you can say what just happened here anyway?

It may be still summer and the federal election isn’t until Oct. 19 and the campaign hasn’t even officially started yet but that doesn’t mean the TV ads aren’t finding their way into our living rooms already.

In fact, I’ve been bombarded by that Justin Trudeau applying for the PM’s job routine so often, and I swear I don’t watch that much TV but then again likely too much as I should be reading a good book etc., it’s getting a bit ridiculous. Anyway I tend to notice different things about it as I start to look for things to amuse myself after watching it for the umpteenth time.

For example the way they refer to him by his first name to make him appear even more youthful and inexperienced than he already is, or refer to his great hair as if to say how can a guy with rock star hair know anything about running a country for goodness sake.

So these people, whoever they are and whatever agenda they may have, have decided, presumably for us so we don’t have to think for ourselves, that Justin’s not quite ready to be PM, but hey, maybe next time, even though in the last little while Liberal leaders shelf life after they lose federal elections is measured in weeks, not years.

I assume the idea is to contrast Justin with, well Stephen, even though he has his own hair issues, and I’m not so sure his resume contained any more real life training when he was applying to be our prime minister for the first time. In fact, Justin’s dad, I think his name was Pierre, was also a relative rookie in most respects when he applied for the job and he managed to hang in there for a few elections.

Anyway it will be interesting to see what the Liberals come up with, and judging by the polls they better think of something, and the NDP appears to be riding high but there’s so many opportunities for missteps, I still think anything can happen in this horse race, and officially anyway, it hasn’t even started yet. Maybe the next prime minister, whoever that may be, can do something about the rapidly vanishing Canadian dollar.

so-called environmentalists.)

King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per cent of the flow through Kawkawa Lake: “If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes.

“Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.”

Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensationalize the current drought and forest fires.

She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water.

Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drinking water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythical pure source.

Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations.

Letters

Re: A gag order for municipal employees?

Dear Editor: Mayor Vicktor told me in a letter dated July 7 (cc: Council District of Hope, John Fortoloczky, Chief Administrative Officer) that our Fire Department is prepared to fight “all hazards” and has the equipment, the training, and the optimum number of volunteers to deal with any emergency

— it can also call on outside mutual aid if necessary. In my reply to them, I said that I’m happy to hear that, but that telling me is simply not good enough. Other concerned citizens of Hope should be told as well, preferably by the Fire Chief using the media.

Rumor has it that Mr. Fortoloczky has issued a gag order to all municipal employees and appointees not to talk to

anybody, let alone the press about anything relating to the municipality. Is that why the Fire Chief is silent?

I’m sure this rumor is not true, but I ask Mr. Fortoloczky to confirm or deny it.

Hartmut Schmid Hope, B.C.

No pillow softer than a clear conscience Dear Editor: Do we need a $100,000 Fire Chief with a new pick-up? No! I have said this for a long time. My thoughts: Hire a training officer part time (one night a week) at a good wage, perhaps even consider a retired professional fireman — we have a few in Hope. We should have an election at each fire station for a chief — pay him extra, I got $500 a month,) which included business inspections.

The duty of each Chief would be to recruit new members and to supply information

to someone in town hall to send a form to the fire commissioner. This would take an estimated time of 30 minutes for a big fire. These two things would save the tax payers $75,000 yearly, along with not supplying a new pick-up. Sorry Chief, I was always on your side until I saw the Facebook video of the Canyon Carpets fire.

On that note — my apologies for the last two negative letters to the editor, the next one will be positive.

Northern Ontario highway speed limits and the lack of passing lanes with Manitoba highway systems, and for that I’m very, very sorry.

I also mentioned that I gave up on my idea of speaking to Canadians about the shape Canada is in. On that score, I think I found a better way to find the truth about the shape we’re in. I started to listen to folks in small town Canada where the folks gather in coffee shops to

mingle with their neighbors and hear local talk about national happenings. I was surprised to find out that politics is a dirty word in the Canadian language.

The stuff I heard was that our politicians are nothing more than money grabbing and not to be trusted hooligans.

The amount of scandals happening to politicians is unforgivable, one old timer in Saskatchewan said that

our Prime Minister was building a jail for all the falling politicians, but so far none of them have been sentenced — why not?

There are two subjects that Canadians like to talk about and this includes the weather and the good and bad of it — the second seems to be how hard it is to make a living in the current Canadian economy, whether you are sick or poor.

Personally with elec-

tions in the near future, it does not matter who the Canadians elect into office, there will always be some Canadians not happy with the results.

Eric Halopainen Hope, BC.

A vision to protect Dear Editor, From our great rivers to our soaring peaks, Canada’s rugged natural beauty has instilled a love of the outdoors across generations of Canadians.

Yet the responsibility to protect these treasures— and the opportunities they create for work and play—has been forgotten during the Harper decade. The Conservatives have refused to take meaningful action on climate change, slashed environmental protections and cut funding for science. Their neglect has real economic consequences: as the global market for clean technology has grown, Canada’s market share has fallen 71 per cent. We cannot afford to let this continue.

That’s why Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party have a comprehensive vision to protect our en-

vironment while growing the economy. Our plan starts with credible action on climate change. A Liberal government will work with provincial and territorial premiers on a framework that builds on their work to combat climate change. Federal funding will help implement the plan best suited to each province, not a one-size-fits-all policy.

The weakened credibility of the environmental assessment projects has paralyzed the development of major natural resource projects. A Liberal government will restore robust oversight and community participation to federal reviews.

Decisions will be based on facts and evidence, not cheerleading.

Around the world, companies are finding solutions to environmental problems and turning them into exports, creating good

middle class jobs while reducing pollution. A Liberal government will support Canadian clean tech startups and invest in the development of innovative technologies for forestry, fisheries, mining, energy and agriculture.

Liberals will make all our national parks free for children and any adult who has become a new Canadian citizen within the previous 12 months, and to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday by making them free for everyone in 2017. Finally, we will formalize the moratorium on crude oil tanker traffic on B.C.’s north Coast, including the Dixon Entrance, Hecate Strait, Queen Charlotte Sound, and act on the recommendations of the Cohen Commission to restore sockeye salmon stocks in the Fraser River.

Canadians no longer need to make the false

choice between the environment and the economy. Mr. Trudeau’s plan.

To give you a quick update, we wanted to let you know that if you weren't at the June "Star Wars" event (which was a big hit thanks to everyone who made it so much fun, especially you costume-wearer’s out there!,) then perhaps you missed the unveiling of our new 6-month schedule. Please take a look at our new roster for all of the show titles and dates from

July to January. We're back on the big screen on July 30 with Alfred Hitchcock's paranoid, sweltering sizzler "Rear Window" starring James Stewart (who we have not yet had on our big screen) and Grace Kelly. A reminder that for most of our members (unless they were new to the club at the "Star Wars" event,) that the member cards have now expired, and we hope you will renew your membership at one of our upcoming events. So this is just

a reminder that your next ticket cost will be $10, with the annual dues of $2 (one heck of a bargain!) going towards helping us bring in these films and cover some of the costs in our printing/promotional material and fabulous prizes. We have new member cards that are good to the end of June 2016, so come renew soon and then take advantage of $8 show tickets for all of our events for the rest of the 2015-2016 season.

History in Hope Taken from The Hope Standard archives July 1955 • Fire’s affect soil: Fire, besides killing the trees, destroy minerals needed for good tree growth. Some forest soils are so largely humus, and fires so destructive of the fibrous content, that all the remaining top soil is washed away by the rain.

• The Canadian Forestry Association, sponsors of British Columbia’s popular Junior Forest Warden movement, announced the appointment of the following local youths to the J.F.W. organization in the district, Charles Kerr and Denis Rabitt, both of Hope.

• Sketch plans of the new Hope and District Hospital were submitted to the Hospital Board at a meeting on a Monday night by architects Andersen and Rymer. The plans were thoroughly assessed by the board and all interested rate payers.

• Volunteer Firemen and their wives and families from every town in the Lower Fraser Valley attended the annual picnic and had a “rip-snortin,” “hose-squirtin,” good time.

• Almost 150 persons attended Hope United Church’s Loyalty Dinner, which was held in the Catholic Hall. The menu consisted of cold turkey and ham with hot vegetables, followed by apple pie and coffee.

July 1965 • Hope Swim Club travelled to Port Moody for a two-day swim meet against Port Moody, Delta, Powell River, Boundary Bay, Port

Opinion

When it is more than anxiety and depression Dr. David Smith addresses the onset of Bipolar and Schizophrenic conditions Dr. David Smith

Adolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health.

Last week we talked about the stresses teenagers face as they transition to adulthood. Adding to that challenging journey, which all teens must make, is the fact that 75 per of all mental health conditions show up in the teen and early adult years.

Today we talk about bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, which tend to first show their signs and symptoms between the ages of 13 and 25. As noted last week, and in all the columns to date: If you are worried that your child or teen may be showing signs of a mental illness, talk to your family doctor, or contact the Child and Youth Mental Health program provided by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in your region. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 for the MCFD office nearest to you.

Bipolar: Originally called manic-depression, bipolar disorder is marked by extreme shifts in mood, energy and activity levels, ranging from severe depression on one side to mania on the other.

During a manic episode, the youth will be highly talkative, energetic, full of ideas and enthusiasms, may take risks or behave impulsively, and may even become jittery, sleepless and irritable.

SUMMER SIZZLERS!

During a depressive episode, the youth is very tired or feels slowed down, is very sad and hopeless, has a hard time concentrating or making decisions, and may also be restless or irritable.

Different types of bipolar disorder have different extremes in moods and different speeds of cycling between them, but most high or low episodes last several days or longer. Sometimes the extremes in moods can bring on psychosis — losing touch with reality and having hallucinations (hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, or feeling things that are not actually there) and delusions (a strong, illogical belief, such as feeling one's actions are being controlled by others.)

Early psychosis intervention, called EPI, is very successful. An EPI program exists in many communities in each health authority in BC, see earlypsychosis.ca.

Bipolar disorder is known to run in families, but most individuals who have a family member with the disorder will never develop this condition — some other trigger is often needed and research is not yet clear what that is.

Many famous and highly successful individuals have bipolar disorder, in part because the manic phase can produce extreme creativity and productivity.

Yet the disorder can cause havoc with family relationships, jobs and finances. Substance use, particularly excessive alcohol consumption, is common with the disorder, especially during a manic phase.

Significant mood changes can be stabilized with various medications,

For more information see Mood Disorders Association of BC and heretohelp.bc.ca Schizophrenia: Perhaps no mental health diagnosis causes parents and youth more fear than schizophrenia, which is marked by losing touch with reality and experiencing hallucination, delusions, disorganization and cognitive impairment, such as poor judgement and decision-making.

But the outlook need not be bleak: treatment works, and recovery and a return to good functioning occurs regularly.

About one per cent of all British Columbians have this illness and it affects men and women equally, but first symptoms often appear for men between ages 16 and 20, and women between ages 20 and 30.

While schizophrenia also runs in families, it usually needs more than just genetics to arise, although exactly what else triggers it is not fully known.

Sometimes it occurs in individuals with no family history, perhaps as a result of a subtle or past brain injury.

In the last decade, new antipsychotic medication and the introduction of Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) programs, noted above, are greatly helping newly diagnosed people with schizophrenia.

Like bipolar disorder, along with the right combination of medication, good sleep, healthy diets, regular exercise, established routines and avoiding mind-altering substances will help those with the diagnosis live full and productive lives.

In fact, dynamic and well-spoken individuals like BC's Brent Seal, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia while a university student and now runs a company called "Seal Wellness" are helping change the face of schizophrenia.

Seal, a mountain climber, ultra-marathoner, wellness coach and inspirational speaker, as well as others who are thriving after a schizophrenia diagnosis, show that good, meaningful lives are possible with the right treatment.

For more information about schizophrenia in BC see earlypsychosis.ca; mindcheck.ca; the BC Schizophrenia Society; and the Canadian Mental Health Association BC chapter.

Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health.

This series of columns on common child and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Collaborative.

The Collaborative involves multiple individuals, organizations and ministries all working together to increase the number of children, youth, and their families receiving timely access to mental health services and support in the Interior Health and Vancouver Island regions. The Collaborative is jointly funded by Doctors of BC and the government of BC.

Attention to good sleep, healthy diet and exercise, regular routines, and avoidance of mind-altering substances, along with medication and therapy, can minimize the number of mood episodes.

They’ll be bridging the past and present as well as cultures this weekend at the Spuzzum First Nation First Fish Ceremony. For the second year in a row, the Spuzzum First Nation (SFN) will be holding this millenniaold ceremony of thanks and appreciation for abundance in their traditional territory at the Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park picnic area. SFN Chief James Hobart says the event is not just a celebration of the natural resources that sustain us all, but states, “this is also a celebration of how far we’ve come to preserve and restore the 1926 Alexandra Bridge, a priceless Canadian heritage tourism asset. We’ve made progress and we believe government is listening to us when we say the Alexandra Bridge is an icon of Canadian transportation and cultural history – the highways equivalent of the Last Spike.” The First Fish Ceremony on July 25 will feature speakers and an update of the Alexandra Bridge Project, which is dedicated to making a rejuvenated bridge a legacy project for the Canada150 celebrations.

The SFN is one of the lead organizations in the Alexandra Bridge Project, a coalition of government, community and corporate groups with the common goal of making the preservation of the bridge a legacy project for the Canada150 celebrations in 2017. The partners include the New Pathways to Gold Society and other community and heritage tourism organizations. Chief Hobart said the historic bridge structure is “the tip of a heritage iceberg” that includes 10,000 years of First Nations’ history, the fur trade, Gold Rush and the building of the great national railways.

“It’s symbolic of our ability to bridge the differences between cultures and something worth preserving,” he said. The celebrations start at 11 a.m. with a welcome to the traditional territory, stories of the significance of the First Fish Ceremony as well as the bridge project update.

June 16, 1957 - July 4, 2015 Darrell passed away suddenly at home on July 4, 2015. He was the only son of William (Bill) and Violet (Vi) Gillis. He was born in New Westminster, B.C. in 1957 and legally adopted by Bill and Vi at the age of one.

He resided in Britannia Beach and went to school in Squamish until the age of 16, when he decided to leave and make his mark on the world. He had many interests in life and loved to pass on the knowledge of his passions, whether it was tinkering with motors large and small, gold panning, computers, fishing and especially woodworking. He loved to collect old tools and machines to restore, anything to make him think, scratch his head and give him a challenge. His attention to the smallest detail never wavered, he always gave everything his fullest attention.

His closest friends he chose wisely, for they were with him through thick and thin and he remained loyal to them to the end.

He leaves behind his wife Sheila, his daughter, Chrysta Dawn and son, Brent William
