Boothroyd First Nation in Boston Bar is grieving the loss of their fi re hall.

Th e building was complete-ly destroyed in a structure fi re on Dec. 1, along with their fi re truck and equipment. Th e blaze was discovered at about 10 p.m. by a member of the community who saw smoke billowing from the roof of the fi re hall. An attempt to remove the fi re truck from inside was thwarted by the heavy smoke. When police arrived on scene, the roof was

fully engulfed in fl ames. “We’re still reeling from the

fi re and trying to fi gure out how to proceed,” said Chief Rick Campbell. “As it stands right now, we have no fi re

protection at all. A lot of our members depend on their wood stoves at this time of year and they’re afraid to have their fi res going without a fi re truck.”

Fire offi cials on scene at-tributed the cause of the fi re to electrical wiring in the raf-ters of the building. Th ere was no one injured in the blaze, but the total estimated dam-age is about $300,000.

“I want to thank Boston Bar Fire Department for com-ing as quickly as they did and doing what they could. I also want to thank all the people that have contacted us since and given us their support and well wishes,” said Camp-bell. “We’ve been busy since the day of the fi re coming up with ideas for fundraising and

getting new equipment.”Boothroyd First Nation

has eight to 10 volunteer fi re-fi ghters serving the commu-nity. Th e fi re hall, which wasbuilt in 1997, housed all theirequipment including hoses,turnout gear, and oxygentanks.

Th e band is currently try-ing to raise money to buynew hoses, nozzles and otherequipment needed to connectto fi re hydrants around thecommunity. Anyone wish-ing to donate to the cause cancontact the band offi ce at 604-867-9211.

Charges of theft and mischief pending

Vehicle windows smashed along Water Avenue

Emergency personnel were called to Laidlaw on Dec. 3 aft er suspicious barrels were discovered at the east end of Hunter Creek Road.

When Hope Fire De-partment and Hope RCMP arrived on scene, there were 12 - 45 gal-lon drums, as well as two kegs, lying on the road-way. A small amount of liquid seeping from one of the containers ap-peared to be corrosive, so police cordoned off the area before contact-ing a hazardous waste contractor.

Hope RCMP re-mained at the site for hours until it was cleaned up and the containers were removed. Police said there wasn’t any en-vironmental damage as there are no streams or culverts in the area.

“Th ere’s no indication of what it could have been linked to,” said Staff Sgt. Bruce Ander-son. “Th e unfortunate

thing with things like this is you’re not going to get fi ngerprints due to the corrosive materials. Th ere’s no video surveil-lance in the neighbor-hood, it’s unknown when the items were dropped, and there’s no suspect ve-hicles associated to it. So there’s no evidence at the scene to indicate a pos-

sible suspect.”Hope RCMP reminds

the public to keep theirdistance if they encoun-ter sites like this and im-mediately contact police.To make a report to theHope RCMP, call 604-869-7750 or call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) to remainanonymous.

News

A 48-year-old Hope man has been arrested in connection to theft s from parked vehicles.

Hope RCMP received a com-plaint on Nov. 30 of a man al-legedly breaking windows in the 900 block of Water Ave. Upon arrival, offi cers saw the man but he quickly faded from view.

Police secured a perimeter and successfully contained the

area with assistance from Fraser Valley Traffi c Services.

A search of the area led to the man being found hiding under a vehicle. He was arrested for theft under $5,000 and mischief under $5,000. Th e man was later released from police custody with a court date in February 2015.

Hope RCMP credits an ob-

servant neighbour who took the time to immediately contact police, which assisted in making the arrest that evening.

Police encourage residents to report any suspicious behav-iour, activity or occurrences. To make a report, call Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750 or Crime Stop-pers at 1- 800-222-8477 (TIPS) to remain anonymous.

There were 12 - 45 gallon drums, as well as two kegs, found at the east end of Hunter Creek Road on Dec. 3.

WALK WELL FOOTCARE

One of the best ways of preventing cancer caused by smoking is to educate your children to never start. Most people start to smoke in their teen years. Talk to your children about all the health reasons why they shouldn’t smoke. Also, have them avoid secondhand smoke which begs the question that if you smoke, seriously consider stopping. You’ll be doing your children a big, healthy favour.

Nature continues to supply the sources and inspiration for new drugs. The sweet wormwood plant supplies the key ingredient for a drug called artemisinin

which is has been developed by the company, Sano , as an antimalarial drug. The drug is manufactured semi-synthetically using a special yeast that produces a precursor to the drug. It allows more drug to be made than from all-natural sources.

Good oral health is a lifetime job and it should start early in life. It used to be the rule that every child should be seen by a dentist by the age of 3 but the Canadian Dental Association is recommending the rst visit should be earlier ..at the rst birthday, It’s a good rst step to reducing childhood cavities and developing a lifetime of good oral

health habits.

The world of labelling drug products is fraught with words like plus, ultra and Extra Strength. There is no real de nition for what these words mean. Usually it means more of the main ingredient or another ingredient added to the regular formula. It can be confusing sometimes. Read the labels carefully and if in doubt, ask our pharmacists. We’re always available to answer your questions.

Remember, there are no silly questions when in comes to medications.

New school board policy eyedKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Fraser-Cascade school dis-trict is considering a new draft policy that would allow trust-ees to make certain decisions without calling a special meet-ing.

Th e board approved fi rst reading of the policy on Tues-day night, which aims to en-sure business is conducted in an effi cient and timely man-ner.

Poll votes would only be used to deal with a time sen-sitive emergent issue, where delay would negatively im-pact the board’s interests, or to deal with matters that do not justify a special meeting. Poll votes are usually conducted by telephone, fax or email by the secretary-treasurer or del-egate.

“Th is is our policy devel-oped for us,” said trustee Rose Tustian.

She suggested that poll votes be conducted by conference call, which has become past practice for trustees dealing with urgent matters, and no-tice be given similar to special meetings.

Th e district’s bylaw states that written notice of a special meeting and an agenda should be given to each trustee at least 24 hours in advance of the meeting.

A poll vote would be called

at the direction of the board chair, in consultation with staff and committee chair, when required. Passage of a poll vote requires a majority vote of the board of education.

Th e draft policy notes that it is the responsibility of trustees to check their messages regu-larly and the secretary-trea-surer would report the result and rationale of any poll vote at the next regular/in-camera meeting of the board.

News

Highway 1 eastbound, between Hunter Creek

and exit 165 in Hope, was shut down Tuesday

afternoon when rocks, mud and water spilled onto the roadway. The large volume of water

running down the mountain is attributed

to this week’s heavy rainfall. Luckily no

vehicles were caught in the slide. Traffic was diverted along Highway

9 through Agassiz and onto Highway 7

towards Hope. Highway 1 eastbound reopened

Wednesday morning after crews cleared

the debris.

B.C.’s 10,000 doctors and specialists will get a 5.5 per cent increase in their fees and in-centives over fi ve years under a new agreement with the provincial gov-ernment.

Th e new physician master agreement is also expected to give doctors more say in

helping design health care system reforms within health authori-ties.

Th e increases in com-pensation and incen-tives for B.C.’s mostly fee-for-service doctors are expected to cost the province an extra $216 million over fi ve years.Another $143 million is

earmarked for recruit-ing new doctors, re-taining existing ones in challenging areas, en-suring better access to family physicians and primary health care.

“Th e agreement provides us with fi ve

years of stability dur-ing which we can work with our partners to lead in bringing in-novative change to the health-care system — change that will benefi t patients,” said Dr. Bill Cavers, president of

Doctors of B.C. Health Minister Ter-

ry Lake said the deal fi ts within the prov-ince’s economic stabil-ity mandate and allows for further increases if the economy performs well.

Green Party candidate announcedArt Green of Hope has been

acclaimed as Green Party of Canada candidate for the new federal riding of Mission/Mats-qui/Fraser Canyon.

He actively pursued the nomination over the last few months and has been instru-mental in developing the elec-toral district association.

“It’s a great honour to stand with Elizabeth May and the Green Party of Canada to fight for a climate action plan, in-stead of exporting all our jobs outside of Canada,” said Green. “We feel our fight for renew-able energy will be the great-est economic catalyst that the world will ever see, while at the

same time cleansing the planet instead of destroying it with carbon based fuels. We look forward to accomplishing this with all your participation.”

In addition to a climate ac-tion plan, Green’s main objec-tives in the upcoming election will be electoral reform and a national mental health strategy.

Busy week forHope Search and Rescue

Hope Search and Res-cue (HSAR), along with members of the Hope RCMP and Fraser Val-ley Traffi c Services, re-sponded to a two-vehicle collision on Monday af-ternoon on Highway 5, just north of the High-way 3/5 junction.

A 1994 Toyota 4Run-ner was driving north bound on Highway 5, when it allegedly crossed into the fast lane. As the vehicle, driven by a 51-year-old female, crossed into the lane it was “t-boned” by a 2014 Toyota Tundra truck. Th e Tundra, driv-en by a 25-year-old man, with one female pas-senger, collided with the driver’s side of the 4Run-ner, causing signifi cant damage to the driver’s side of the vehicle.

Th e driver of the 4Runner was trapped and Hope Search and Rescue used “jaws of life” to remove her from the vehicle. She was transported by helicop-ter to a regional hospi-tal and is being treated for serious, but non-life threatening injuries. Th e driver and passenger of the Tundra were trans-ported to a local hospital by ambulance with less serious, non-life threat-ening injuries.

According to police,

it appears a combina-tion of driver distrac-tion and speed may havebeen contributing fac-tors in this collision onDec. 8. Th e RCMP willhave the vehicles me-chanically inspected fortheir road-worthinessat the time of the colli-sion. Fraser Valley Traf-fi c Services is continu-ing their investigation.Anyone that may havewitnessed the collisionand has not yet spokento police is asked to con-tact the lead investigator,Const. Gregory Leche, at604-702-4039.

HSAR was also calledout by RCMP on Dec.5, at about 5:30 p.m.,for a single vehicle ac-cident on Highway 1,fi ve kilometres north ofBoston Bar. Th e over-turned vehicle was re-portedly in a ditch withpossible trapped occu-pants. However, whileon route, the call wascancelled. Earlier in theday, at about 10 a.m., arescue crew was calledby B.C. Ambulance Ser-vice to assist with anoth-er single vehicle accidenton Highway 1 near Em-ory Creek. Extricationequipment was used toremove the occupantsfrom the vehicle. HSARassisted loading a personinto the ambulance be-fore leaving the scene.

Surplus to pay off earlier deficits, Clark saysTom FletcherBlack Press

Premier Christy Clark and her ministers are fending off calls to increase spending on pressing social priorities as the fi nancial picture brightens for the B.C. government.

With the bills tallied for the fi rst half of the fi scal year, the province is forecasting a surplus of $444 million by next spring, about twice as much as was pro-jected in last February’s budget. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the improvement was helped by a strengthening U.S. economy, despite commodity slumps that

have produced declining lumber and coal revenues. Both de Jong and Clark said their highest pri-ority is to repay about $5 billion in debt accumulated during a string of defi cits before the bud-get was balanced in 2013.

“Like any family that’s been through tough times, the fi rst thing you need to do when you get back to fi nding a job and making an income again, is to pay off your credit cards,” Clark said in an interview. “We’re going to pay off these credit cards that got charged up aft er 2008 pretty heavily.”

NDP children and family crit-

ic Carole James said the govern-ment has achieved surpluses with the help of increases to medical premiums, ferry fares, BC Hydro rate increases and other charges, and it’s time to put some back to the people who need it. Her party has been pressing for removal of a clawback of child support pay-ments from social assistance and disability recipients, an estimated annual cost of $17 million.

“It’s not simply people who are the recipients of child mainte-nance dollars, but in fact all Brit-ish Columbians see how unfair it is that that money is clawed back from children,” James said.

Another priority is to increase post-secondary education funds, which are looking at one of a series of budget cuts next year despite the government’s high-profi le jobs plan, James said.

Jobs Minister Shirley Bond, meanwhile, turned away calls from retiring B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour.

Aft er a series of increases brought the B.C. minimum up to $10.25 by 2012, Bond said the issue is being monitored, along with factors like youth unem-ployment and infl ation.

News

Premier Christy Clark listens as Finance Minister Mike de Jong presents the 2014-15 budget last February. The expect-ed surplus has grown to more than $400 million since then.

Clark on climate clawbacks, credit cards

A year-end interview with Pre-mier Christy Clark. For an ex-tended version see the opinion section at www.hopestandard.com

TF: Are you still confident that we’re going to see a major LNG project approved by the end of 2014?

PCC: We’re still in negotiations with Petronas and Shell, so I don’t know if it will be by the end of 2014, but I’m hoping in the next few months. [Days after this interview, Petronas announced a delay in their investment deci-sion until 2015.]

TF: I talked to a couple of SFU

climate mitigation specialists, and they agreed that it’s unlike-ly to the point of impossible to have a major LNG industry and still meet Gordon Campbell’s ambitious greenhouse gas tar-get of a 33 per cent reduction by 2020. What do you think?

PCC: I think that we may prove them wrong. Many of these facili-ties, not all of them, will be partly or fully electrically powered up, so that reduces those impacts, and there’s going to be a real in-centive to invest in new technol-ogy to minimize that as well.

I think the bigger picture is what really matters, which is that in shipping 82 million tonnes of liquefied natural gas to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sources of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that we’ve ever made to reducing cli-

mate change.TF: Ontario and Quebec have

taken a page from your book. They have seven conditions for an oil pipeline, Energy East, which involves conversion of gas pipelines and taking Alber-ta oil to the East Coast. What do you think?

PCC: I think they took our five conditions and elaborated on them. So you’ve got British Columbia, Alberta, now Ontar-io and Quebec, all signed on to some version of the five condi-tions. And of course Enbridge and Kinder Morgan as well.

TF: What about the condi-tions they have added?

PCC: One of the things they say they want to protect against is a shortage of natural gas coming to Ontario and Quebec. These are the same two provinces that

have put a moratorium on ex-tracting natural gas. They want to make sure that we do it here, good enough for us to do, and send it to them, but they won’t do that themselves. I look at their last two conditions, and I roll my eyes a little bit.

TF: All the way to New Bruns-wick, they’ve basically bought the anti-hydraulic fracturing myth?

PCC: Yes. Somehow they all watched an American mocku-mentary or whatever you call it, and believed it. Here in British Columbia we do fracking better than anywhere in the world. It is the gold standard.

TF: Finance Minister Mike de Jong says we have a surplus estimated at more than $400 million for this fiscal year, and he suggested that much of that

would have to go to pay offdeficits from previous years.Of course the opposition is in-terested in welfare rates and inparticular ending child supportclawbacks. What’s your view?

PCC: Like any family that’sbeen through tough times, thefirst thing you need to do whenyou get back to finding a job andmaking an income again, is topay off your credit cards. Andthat’s what we’re going to do.

We are going to see if we canfind ways to improve some ofthe programs over time, but can’tdo that until we can afford it.It’s typical, the NDP want us tospend the money before we haveit.

OpinionPublished at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

Need to move on child poverty

Everyone is gearing up for the Christmas season, that wonderful time of year focused on giving. There are food drives collecting for the food bank, and cam-paigns of all kinds to help those in need, including toy drives trying to ensure all children have some-thing waiting for them under the Christmas tree.

This is a great thing, and it is good-hearted people that both organize and contribute to them. But the best they can hope for, and it is a good goal, is to al-leviate some of the need. The sad fact is, the issue of child poverty is not going to be solved by a once-a-year campaign.

According to the annual report released by First Call, a coalition of advocacy groups, child poverty is on the rise in B.C. rather than declining.

According to the B.C. Child Poverty Report Card, 169,240 children were living below the poverty line in this province in 2012. Last year, the report said 153,000 children. First Call set out 19 recommenda-tions in their report with a goal of reducing the pro-vincial child poverty rate to seven per cent by 2020.

The recommendations cover a range, from raising the minimum wage to increased child tax benefits and rescinding cuts to Employment Insurance. But what they all have in common is the need for provin-cial and federal governments to address the problem.

When we see the enormity of the problem of child poverty, it is clear it is time for upper levels of gov-ernment to join in the fight to make some long-term change.

Re: Community forest board fi red (Nov. 27)

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the board members of the Cascade Lower Canyon Community Forest.

I was appointed to the board approximately 14 years ago along with eight other volunteers from Hope, Yale First Na-tion and Area B (FVRD). Over the last 12 years as a volunteer board we struggled with our con-stitution, goals, creating bylaws, as well as dealing with partner and govern-ment confl icts. Over time some of the board mem-bers threw their hands up in frustration and resigned their positions because of the constant blockades, lack of inter-est from the partners and government stalling.

In 2012, the communi-ty forest fi nally received a licence to start logging and make some money for the communities. Our job as a board was to manage the forest and handle the money that resulted from the har-vesting. Incidentally, no chump change, approxi-mately $300,000 per year.

We as a board bud-geted money to handle the cost of logging and administrative costs. Th e remainder would be giv-en back to the communi-ties by way of donations and grants. Th e partners cleared the process for

granting and donating at our AGM in 2012 prior to the community forest having made any money.

In 2013, the communi-ty forest produced about $400,000 and gave to charities, not-for-profi t and new businesses ap-proximately $120,000 before the partners shut us down in 2014. Th e partners all of a sudden were not comfortable as to where and how the money was being distrib-uted, now that there was real money in the bank. We were told specifi -cally by the partners that they wanted control over the money and we were asked to wait a week so the partners could review our bylaws and granting procedures. Th at was in May 2014. By November 2014, this issue was not cleared up as promised by the partners and the stack of grant applica-tions was piling up. Our existing board was fan-tastic. We were totally non-political and chose to run the corporation as if we were one, keep-ing in mind we had three partners.

Our mandate to spend the profi ts received from logging was not a prob-lem for the partners – Area B, Yale First Na-tion, and the District of Hope – for 14 years. Th e problems began when we fi nally had the funds to give back to the com-

munities. Susan is right when

she stated: “Th is is not personal.” We as a board just simply gave up wait-ing for direction from the partners regarding dona-tion and grant distribu-tion. We gave a promise to the communities and we would fulfi ll that promise. When pres-sured, the partners hand-ed us our walking papers. Very unusual, but an ef-fective way to jeopardize money that was destined back to all three commu-nities and their projects.

Th e board would in no way make decisions that would jeopardize the entire or any part of the community forest. We knew what we were doing and were totally committed to making this great endeavor work so that the communities would benefi t and thrive.

Many thanks to Dean-na Venusio, our secretary who kept things rolling even when bureaucracy piled up through the roof.

Mike Crane from Hope, whose knowledge of the forest is unprec-edented. His quiet nature and friendly smile kept us calm and straight.

Brian Taylor, who has dedicated his life to the logging industry. His huge laugh made our meetings not only fun but also very informative and clear.

Jolena Hope, new to the board this year, was our numbers person. She is very informed and a great team play-er. Her cookies helped us through many long nights of discussion.

Darwin Baerg brought his common sense and business experience as well as a sense of humor and a great love for the outdoors.

Lee Davies, our com-puter guy. His detail to the written word kept us dialed into the constitu-tion and bylaws of the corporation.

Steve Paterson, also new, came with fantastic experience in our First Nation area and with the ability to connect the for-est to the trees.

Th anks also to the many board members who served previously, each helping us move forward in our develop-ment. Th e board meet-ings were fi lled with great ideas, passion, and laughter. We didn’t al-ways agree but we always respected each other and made things work.

I am extremely proud of all we have accom-plished over the last 14 years. I hope the part-ners – Area B, Yale First Nation, and the District of Hope – realize that the community forest is not about them, it is about the communities around them. I hope they

will treat the new board with the respect and dig-nity they deserve. Th ese people are volunteers that bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to be used to better our area. Good luck to the new board.

Last Friday morning (Dec. 5), I was pleasantly surprised at the Blue Moose.

I had ordered a specialty coffee and was advised it had been already paid for by Sherry Farley.

When she had ordered

breakfast at a restaurant, she had discovered it had been paid for by another good sa-maritan. Or was it the spirit of giving or the Christmas season? Thank you for my coffee Sherry.

On an entirely different

note, I would question the town of Hope on its lack of Christmas lighting on Wal-lace Street and Water Avenue.

When I was growing up in Hope and there were fewer taxpayers, we seemed to have a much better display than

the present rather tired string of lights, which would appear to have more than served their purpose.

Hopefully the new mayor and council will do better in this regard in 2015.

Holiday season brings out giving spirit

As I am sure you have already heard, the atten-dance at Remembrance Day ceremonies that were held across the country on Nov. 11 were very well attended and

Hope was no exception to this fact.

Th e support that the Legion, Branch 228 Hope, received on that day through the pur-chase of poppies and

wreaths, the displaying of our poppy trays, at-tending the ceremony, and joining us in the celebration that was held in our lounge af-ter the service has not

gone unnoticed. On be-half of the Hope Legion I would like to thank each and everyone of you who supported us as we honoured those who defended us long ago as

well as those who con-tinue to strive to keep Canada a safe place for us to live.

Extreme Weather Program is operating in Hope

Hope & Area Transition Society has operated the Extreme Weather Program for three years. Th is pro-gram is funded by BC Housing and was put in place to shelter those from the elements during the win-ter months – Nov. 1 to March 31. Th e Extreme Weather Alert is ac-tivated when the Emergency Shel-ter Program is full and when the weather meets the Extreme Weath-er parameters.

In Hope, Extreme Weather is defi ned as temperatures at or be-low zero degrees Celsius and either

measurable or signifi cant snow ac-cumulation, or conditions deemed severe enough to present a sub-stantial threat to the life or health of homeless persons. Th ese condi-tions include prolonged heavy rain in combination with low tempera-tures, and high winds.

Th e Extreme Weather Shelter is located just outside of Hope at the Th underbird Motel, 63030 Flood Hope Road. Rides can be arranged through the extreme weather staff (604-869-1844), or through the non-emergency RCMP (604-

869-7750). Once at the ExtremeWeather Shelter, clients are off eredfood, laundry service, clean clothes,and a shower. Th ere are up to 10spots available, although we havea “no turn-away” policy. In the lastfi ve weeks, Extreme Weather hasbeen called twice (Nov. 10-18, Nov.25-present), and we’ve serviced 51clients. For questions or informa-tion, call the Extreme Weather cell604-869-1844, or call HATS at 604-869-5111.

Of course climate change exists. Aft er all, there were once palm trees in the Arctic. In the Middle Ages they grew grapes and exported wine from northern England. During the same “warm period,” the Vikings dis-covered Greenland and called it “Green” because they could actually grow crops there, unlike today.

Climate has changed over and over again though the millennia

even before man was pro-ducing signifi cant levels of CO2. However, even for those who believe in “manmade global warm-ing,” the question is, what would it cost to reverse the increase of CO2?

Bjorn Lomborg, a Dan-ish scientist and former member of Greenpeace wrote “the Skeptical En-vironmentalist.” In his book, he shows that the cost of reversing the pro-duction of CO2 would be

catastrophic to the world economy. Th e result would be global starva-tion on a gigantic scale. It is actually the use of fossil fuels that has allowed the huge increase in global population over the last 100 years.

Everything we use, from the food we eat to the dwellings we live in, to the transportation we rely on, requires energy. It would be far better to spend money on mitigat-

ing the problems causedby global warming as theyarise than to try to elimi-nate CO2 production. Itis only in economicallystrong countries whereenvironmental problemsare truly addressed. Th irdWorld countries simplycannot aff ord the cost ofcleaning up the environ-ment.

To eliminate CO2 pro-duction would return theworld to the Middle Ages.

Canada’s Health Ac-cord has expired and readers are reminded that it is time to inform themselves about what it is and what they are los-ing.

Th e failure of federal offi cials to negotiate a new agreement to trans-fer adequate funding from Ottawa to the prov-inces, could mean the end of the public health care system (Medicare). Most Canadians, espe-cially the elderly, believe

it is their right to access community-based ser-vices such as home sup-port, long-term, hospice and palliative care.

Most of us want a sys-tem which is working to-wards meeting the chal-lenges of patient-centered care, reduced wait times for diagnosis and treat-ment by physicians, hos-pitals, and other health providers. Health care services, and not just our aging population, require proper funding.

Spending is not out of control, but is in fact sta-ble and aff ordable. Most who depend on medica-tions for their very lives favour a national phar-maceutical strategy.

A universal phar-macare plan covering everyone, which is un-fortunately still waiting to be enacted, would an-nually save Canadians billions of dollars. Some argue that privatization of health services,would control health care costs.

But, privatization is notsustainable, and movescosts outside public con-trol. Federal leaders needto maintain control andrevise provincial transferallotments. At least theyshould not walk awayfrom their role by refus-ing to negotiate. It’s timeto reassert our funda-mental right to a qualityhealth care system acces-sible by all.

It’s time for a new Can-ada Health Accord.

Diesel stays stubbornly high amid crude oil dropJeff NagelBlack Press

Pity the poor diesel truck owner.

While regular gasoline prices have dropped sig-nifi cantly with the plung-ing price of oil, the pump price for diesel has re-mained stubbornly high.

Diesel is now averaging $1.38 per litre in Metro Vancouver, down just eight per cent from its summer peak, while gas has fallen 25 per cent to $1.15.

“It shouldn’t be that high,” said John Whittall, a West Kelowna photog-rapher and retiree who bought his diesel pickup for the fuel savings. “Typ-ically, diesel hasn’t been more than gas. When gas was low it was lower.”

Th at’s historically true.But early 2009 – when

diesel was 85 cents a litre and gas was nearly $1 – is the last time diesel drivers enjoyed big savings.

Th e price gap closed and since 2012 diesel has

cost a few cents a litre more than gas most of the time, according to statis-tics maintained by petro-leum industry analysts MJ Ervin and Associates.

For the last three years, diesel has been stuck be-tween $1.30 and $1.50 in Vancouver, costing a few cents more than regular gas for most of that time.

Jason Parent, vice-pres-ident of consulting at MJ Ervin, says the reason for the disparity is diesel and

gasoline are two very dif-ferent commodities that don’t move together in lockstep.

“Th ey each have their own supply and demand fundamentals and they can move in diff erent di-rections,” he said.

Unlike gasoline, which jumps in price towards summer as more drivers hit the road, diesel tends to rise in the winter.

Th e reason, Parent said, is that diesel is vir-

tually identical to heat-ing oil, which is in high demand to heat homes in the winter.

“In the winter sea-son when it gets colder, demand for heating oil spikes and that causes a demand pull on both heating oil prices and die-sel prices.”

Th e drop in crude oil prices has put downward pressure on diesel, he said, but that has been largely off set by the in-crease in winter demand – much to the irritation of diesel users.

“Th e guys who use diesel are all wondering why they’re not seeing the same benefi t as everyone else.”

Whittall said he has diffi culty believing Par-ent’s explanation. He said diesel prices never seem to budge, no matter if it’s summer, winter or crude oil prices are collapsing.

“I bet you it hasn’t moved a penny up here,” he said.

So far 77 children of women murdered or presumed killed by serial killer Robert Pickton have stepped forward to receive compensation of $50,000 each.

Th at’s one of the outcomes of the Missing Women Inquiry, according to a fi nal report issued by the provincial govern-ment on its responses to the recommendations.

A total of $4.9 million from the province, federal govern-ment and City of Vancouver has been set aside for compensa-tion to 98 surviving, biological children of Pickton’s victims.

“We hope this compensation will be used to enhance their lives in the present and future,” Justice Minister Suzanne An-ton said in the report.

Th e provincial report argues new integrated policing initia-tives have improved the police response since the failures that allowed the Port Coquitlam pig farmer to evade investigators from diff erent jurisdictions. Commissioner Wally Oppal two years ago recommended some form of regional police service.

Th e province has struck an expert committee to explore possible reforms to police service delivery, which could in-volve further integration while retaining local, community-focused policing. Other initiatives underway include the new Real Time Intelligence Centre launched by RCMP and municipal police, and a new national DNA missing persons index promised earlier this year by the federal government. Groups seeking a national inquiry for missing women said key recommendations, including improved transportation along Highway 16, have gone nowhere. Pickton is serving a life sentence for six counts of second degree murder but is be-lieved responsible for the deaths of dozens of other women who disappeared from Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside.

Environment Minister Mary Polak joined the Ca-nadian delegation in Lima, Peru this week to promote B.C.’s eff orts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions at the latest United Nations climate conference.

Polak issued a statement from the 20th “Conference of the Parties” (COP20) conference Monday, high-lighting eff orts to work with Ontario, Quebec and Cali-fornia to take action ahead of their national govern-ments.

“Th e science shows that climate change is occurring and we need to act now,” Po-lak said.

“I hope our cooperation sets an example for other jurisdictions to follow as the nations of the world work toward achieving a compre-hensive climate agreement at COP21 in Paris in 2015.”

In a year-end interview

with Black Press, Premier Christy Clark remained op-timistic that B.C. can meet its goal of reducing carbon emissions by one third from 2007 levels by 2020, even while developing a natu-ral gas export business that would be partly powered by burning gas.

“I think the bigger picture is what really matters, which is that in shipping 82 million tonnes of liquefi ed natural gas to Asia, we help them get off coal and other dirtier sources of oil, and that is the biggest contribution that we’ve ever made to reducing climate change,” Clark said.

B.C.’s carbon tax on fuels was followed by a decline in total emissions from the province since it was imple-mented in 2007.

Provincial offi cials con-cede the 2008-09 economic crisis was a key factor in the initial decline, but they note that while economic activity has recovered, total emis-sions have not climbed.

APPRECIATION POTLUCK

WednesdayDecember 17

11:30am-1:30pm

Eric Welsh Black Press

Dennis Cholowski and Jordan Kawaguchi scored two goals apiece Saturday night as the Chillwack Chiefs doubled the Prince George Spruce Kings 6-3.

Th e game was played at the Prince George Coliseum, with the Chiefs salvaging a valuable split from their Mainland division rivals.

PG downed the Chiefs 5-2 Friday night behind an outstanding eff ort from goalie Jesse Jenks.

Th e Spruce Kings netminder stopped 31 of 33 shots to earn fi rst-star honours, with Cholowski and Mason Boh the only Chiefs to slip pucks behind him. Boh’s goal was his fi rst of the season.

Aidan Pelino was in the Chilli-wack net, stopping 22 of 27 Prince George shots. He gave way to back-up David Poirier for the Saturday rematch.

Th e Chiefs led 1-0 through 20 minutes on a power play goal by Cholowski.

PG’s Brogan O’Brien tied the game 5:43 into period two, but Chilliwack tallied three goals in 2:50 to blow the game open.

Kawaguchi scored at 14:57 and 17:47, sandwiching a Luke Mc-Colgan snipe. Th e Chiefs led 4-1 through 40.

Rory Bell scored his sixth of the year shorthanded at 12:12 of period three, and Cholowski scored into an empty net with 1:18 to go.

Poirier stopped 22 of 25 pucks.

Th e Chiefs come out of the week-end in excellent shape at 19-9-0-1, fi rst in the Mainland division.

Th e Spruce Kings (17-12-0-2) are second, three points back, with Chilliwack holding two games in hand.

Th e Chiefs remain on the road for a midweek game, tonight in Salmon Arm against the Silverbacks (10-12-2-5).

Th ey host the Coquitlam Express Friday night at Prospera Centre.

Th e Express (11-15-1-4) are fourth in the Mainland division, with one of the BCHL’s most po-tent off ences (3.71 goals per game) derailed by one of the league’s most porous defences (4.16 goals against per game).

Chilliwack wraps up its pre-

Christmas slate on the road, visiting the Trail Smoke Eaters (12-15-0-1) Saturday and the Penticton Vees Sunday.

Th e Vees game, by winning per-centage, is a battle of the BCHL’s top two teams.

Penticton (26-4-0-1) has the league’s top winning percentage at .855, followed by Chilliwack’s .672.

Th e Chiefs got one of their walking wounded back, with Bran-don Tkachuk suiting up in Prince George. Th e 20 year old Calgarian had missed the last six games with injury.

Chilliwack is still without blue-liners Mark Esposito and Olivier Arseneau. Forward Liam Ferguson is also injured. Abbotsford native Kohen Olischefski fi lled in for the

Prince George games. Aft er earning honourable men-

tion status last week, the Chiefs haveclimbed back into the Canadian Ju-nior Hockey League’s Top 20.

Th e Chiefs slide into the 18thspot, one of two BCHL teams mak-ing the list.

Th e mighty Vees are No. 3, upthree spots from last week, and theVernon Vipers snared an honour-able mention.

Ex-Chilliwack Chief GarrettForster is the latest BCHL Player ofthe Week.

Forster, a Chief from 2011 to2013, scored two game-winninggoals and had fi ve points for Victo-ria in weekend wins over CowichanValley and Merritt.

Chiefs salvage split in crucial weekend road tripThe Chilliwack Chiefs returned from Prince George over the weekend with a 1-1 record. The team now takes on the Coquitlam Express tomorrow night (Dec. 12) at Prospera Centre.
