Hope & Area Transition Society (HATS) is seeking public input on housing strategies for the homeless.

Th e organization hosted a com-munity forum last Th ursday to present information regarding the Housing First approach and provide an opportunity to address questions and concerns from residents. HATS is also in the process of creating a community advisory committee.

“We want the community to be part of the solution,” said executive director Gerry Dyble.

Th e Th underbird Motel Project

was launched in 2008 through a B.C. Housing contract with HATS to support individuals facing chal-lenges securing and maintaining housing.

“It comes with its challenges and we see that,” said Dyble. “However, this population group was already living out at the Th underbird and the owner was renting to the group on a month-to-month basis. Th e owner approached us to work with the clients and provide supports. Our concern is that we need to have it serviced more.”

In 2011, BC Housing urged HATS to look at the option of pur-

chasing the motel. Th e board hired Terra Housing Consultants to pre-pare a feasibility study and busi-ness plan, which were presented to the board and BC Housing. During that time a building condition re-port and commercial appraisal were also conducted. Th e board met with the motel owner in 2012 to discuss purchasing the property, but were unable to negotiate a sale.

In early 2014, BC Housing urged the board again to either start re-negotiations with the owner of the Th underbird or consider looking at other options for ownership of a housing project. Th e board de-

cided to look at other options andHATS secured a grant through theHomeless Partnering Strategy to doresearch on community readinessfor a Housing First model. JenniferHawkins was hired in October 2014to conduct the research, which in-cluded several community consul-tations.

“If we can’t purchase the Th un-derbird and we want to make surewe can deliver the best service pos-sible for this population and havesome control over it, we need ourown piece of property and our ownbuilding to do that,” said Dyble.

Community forum addresses homelessness

Production crews were in town on Monday and Tuesday to film scenes for the TV movie “The Hollow,” which involves a small town inhabited by a “Killer Vine.” The scenes were primarily shot in the 700 block of Fraser Avenue and the surrounding lanes. Action included a jackknifed truck in the middle of the road, an actor firing a number of simulated gunshots in front of Baker’s Books, and a small propane fireball beside a pickup truck parked on the street.

The Importance of Using PrimerNothing can change the look of a room as quickly and inexpensively as new paint. Using primer can mean the difference between spectacular and so-so.

Prepare your walls. For ink or stains that won’t wash off, use a stain blocking primer. Otherwise, the stain may bleed through your new paint.

If you’ve patched, retextured or removed wallpaper from a wall, use a good quality primer as your fi rst coat. It has adhesive properties that regular paint doesn’t. Your fi nal coat will adhere uniformly without patchiness or uneven sheen.

Tint primer if you’re painting a light wall dark. A pink primer will have the same pigments added as the red fi nal coat. The difference is the base. Dark paints are mixed in a “deep color base” that already contains pigments. Primers don’t come with the deep color options. Added pigments may not make the primer as dark as the fi nal coat but tinted primer will still make fi nal coat coverage easier.

Two gas station convenience stores in Hope have been targeted in the last week.

Harv’s market in Silver Creek was broken into at 5:39 a.m. on Feb. 20. Th e thieves gained entry through the front door, trigger-ing the alarm. According to police,

they were inside the store for about 28 seconds and grabbed $12,000 worth of cigarettes.

Hope RCMP was then notifi ed on Feb. 22 at 2:12 p.m. that Lake-way Market on Kawkawa Lake Road had been broken into. Th e owners were away at the time and

the property was being taken care of by an employee. It’s unknown at this time if anything was taken.

Both break-ins are still under investigation. Anyone with infor-mation is asked to contact Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Kinder Morgan offi -cials are defending their decision to withhold portions of an emer-gency response plan from the public in B.C. even though similar de-tails about the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion have been disclosed in Wash-ington State.

President Ian Ander-

son denied the com-pany is trying to hide anything, but cited se-curity risks that would fl ow from posting com-plete plans showing the locations of critical valves and access points along the pipeline route and other aspects of its planned response to spill scenarios.

Regulations are dif-

ferent in the U.S., where Kinder Morgan’s de-tailed emergency plan for a section of the pipe-line was posted online by Washington’s Depart-ment of Ecology.

No such requirement was made by the Na-tional Energy Board but the fi rm has pledged to make the full docu-ment available to the

provincial government– which has repeatedlypressed for its release– as well as municipali-ties and fi rst respondersalong the route. A heav-ily redacted version ofthe plan was released byTrans Mountain last fall,erasing details about re-sponse times, worst casescenarios and a map ofpublic evacuation zones.

Cocaine was rst isolated as a chemical entity in 1855 but it had been used for thousands of years by South American native people who chewed the leaves of the coca plant that contained the drug. Medically it was originally used as an anaesthetic mainly in the eye but the discovery of its stimulating effects soon found it being used in tonics and health drinks in the 19th Century until its addictive qualities were discovered and its use in these products was banned.

The discovery of the microscope in the 1600s was a leap forward

in medical science. It allowed scientists to see bacteria. Now, with the Nobel Prize being awarded in chemistry for the discovery of the uorescent microscope, scientists are able to see inside an individual cell. This heralds the age of “nanoscopy” and will be very useful in discovering the causes of disease like Parkinsons, Huntingtons and Alzheimers.

Here’s a hint when reading those nutritional labels on food products. Anything ending in “-ose” usually indicates a sugar of some type, like glucose. If a word ends in

“-ase”, it usually indicates an enzyme like protease.

Normally, our salivary glands produce about one litre of saliva every day. Some people produce less and the uncomfortable condition of dry mouth can occur. Sometimes, medications can be the cause. These can include antihistamines, heart and blood pressure drugs, cancer drugs, and drugs used to treat Parkinsons.

Talk to our pharmacists for advice about any of your medications.

Unplugged at the Blue MooseKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

A new initiative is encouraging local residents to dis-connect from technology.

Th e Blue Moose is launching Blue Moose Unplugged on Friday and Saturday nights, starting March 6. Wi-Fi will be shut off from 7-11 p.m. and the coff ee shop is discouraging use of cell phones, laptops and tablets. Th ere will also be live music some nights.

“It’s mostly just a reaction to our dependency on technology,” said owner Wes Bergmann. “I’m hoping to see not only local people but out-of-town people come to the Blue Moose and enjoy the ambience of people having conversation. Th ere’s something that spreads when people do that.”

To coincide with the launch of Blue Moose Un-plugged, the coff ee shop has a new selection of caesar’s, craft beers, wines and margaritas. Th ere is also a vari-ety of new appetizers on the menu including nachos, ribs, chicken wings, and potato skins.

“It’s a place for people to go later at night,” said Berg-mann. “However, we don’t want to become a bar.”

The Thunderbird currently houses 30 people in 24 units. Admittance to the program is based on the applicant’s motivation towards working on identified personal barri-ers. They often suffer from multiple barriers, including addiction, mental illness, and limited social and life skills. Residents receive one meal a day and are required to maintain their unit, attend resident committee meet-ings, and participate in goal planning.

The Thunderbird strives to increase residents’ sense of self-worth and esteem, promote healthy living and lifestyle choices, engage residents in building life and social skills, and iden-tify employability potential, strengths and limitations. Dyble said clients learn so-cially appropriate behaviours in a semi-independent sup-portive environment, skills

that can’t be learned on the street. She also pointed out that punishment doesn’t work for those experiencing multiple challenges.

Hawkins noted that there’s many factors contributing to Hope’s homelessness, includ-ing its location and transient population, high number of people at-risk of homeless-ness, and low vacancy rates.

The Housing First ap-proach is client-centered and case-managed, and there’s an emphasis on recovery and community integration. There’s also no pre-readiness conditions.

“Homelessness is on the rise in rural communities,” said Hawkins. “Having a roof over one’s head and having three meals a day is the best place to facilitate wellness. When you’re on the streets, it’s survival. When you have housing, it’s a better platform to facilitate recovery. It’s not just handing someone a key.

It’s housing plus supports. You can’t have low-barrier housing without the sup-ports.”

Several people in atten-dance at last Thursday’s meet-ing raised concerns about the Thunderbird program, including personal safety, de-creased property values, and the need for more support on site. Staff Sgt. Bruce Ander-son said the local detachment has stepped up patrols in the area and urges residents to report any trespassers or sus-picious activity. Mayor Wil-fried Vicktor also pointed out that residents can work together to lobby their MLA for additional supports for mental health and addiction services.

“I know we’re not particu-larly novel in Hope. Every community in British Co-lumbia has this problem,” said Vicktor. “Based on my 35 years in Hope, I certainly would say with some level

of insight, that the homeless problem is way better than it has been in years. One thing we all have to consider is we’re all one decision, one unfortunate circumstance, or one mental health issue away from being homeless.”

The information forum fol-lowed the launch of an online petition by concerned resi-dents, calling on the Hope & Area Transition Society to stop the addition of any more “low-barrier beds or shelters for the homeless in our com-munity.” The petition pre-amble states “our town has been riddled with problems with low-barrier housing. It enables people with drug addiction and mental illness to go on living the way they do with no consequences. Low-barrier housing is only a bandaid solution to a bigger problem.”

So far, the petition at gope-tition.com has garnered 133 signatures.

Snowpack low in southwest B.C.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Snow levels in the mountains of southwest-ern B.C. are exception-ally low.

And while that’s halt-ed skiing at some hills,

it may also mean trouble in the months ahead for local water users and mi-grating salmon.

Th e B.C. River Fore-cast Centre’s latest snow survey shows the Lower Fraser watershed has a snowpack of just 45 per

cent of the long-term av-erage and Vancouver Is-land is even lower at just 15 per cent of normal.

“Th ese are very low for this time of year,” said River Forecast Centre hydrologist Tobi Gard-ner.

He said the warmwinter in the LowerMainland and some verywet winter storms, fol-lowed by a mostly dryand mild February, haveconspired to melt muchof the lower and mid-elevation snow.

Some specifi c sam-pling locations are in re-cord low territory.

Jump Creek, betweenNanaimo and Port Al-berni on the spine ofVancouver Island, mea-sured no snow at all inthe latest snow survey– the fi rst zero readingat this time of year since1966.

Within the Lower Fra-ser watershed, SpuzzumCreek at 20 per cent,Wahleach Lake at 26 percent and the ChilliwackRiver at 44 per cent areall at or near record lowreadings.

Metro Vancouver of-fi cials say it’s too soon topredict if a lack of snowwill force unusual wa-tering restrictions comeJune as a conservationmeasure.

Reservoirs that supplythe Metro drinking wa-ter system are typicallyfed not just by meltingsnow but also signifi cantamounts of rain.

Gardner said there’spotential for low riverfl ow conditions in manyareas that could hinderreturning salmon and af-fect other species depen-dent on aquatic habitat.

As for the potentialfor fl ooding of the Fra-ser River in the LowerMainland, he said it’s toosoon to say.

“Th e fl ood risk is cer-tainly not increased but Ithink it’s too early to saythere is not a threat.”

Th at’s because 85 percent of the volume in theFraser River at Missionduring the freshet comesfrom snow melting hun-dreds of kilometres awayin the mid- and upperFraser watersheds, bothof which are close tonormal snowpack levels.

“Th at whole snow-pack has to come out aswell,” Gardner said, not-ing several days of hotspring weather couldmelt the northern snowfast.

Th ere’s still time formore snow to accumu-late in the mountainsbetween now and Aprilwhen snow levels typi-cally peak.

But Gardner said itappears continued warmweather may result inthe runoff of the snow-pack from the upper el-evations about a monthearlier than usual, in lateApril and May.

Premier floats end to B.C.’s tax on home sales


Premier Christy Clark says she wants to eliminate B.C.’s Property Transfer Tax over the long term but the province can’t yet aff ord to forgo the billion dollars a year it generates.

Th e premier was asked about the provincial tax on real estate transactions at an appearance last Wednesday before the Surrey Board of Trade.

“When we really start making a dent on our debt we really want to start knocking down the Property Transfer Tax, because it’s a drag on our economy,” Clark told the busi-ness audience.

“We’re not quite in a position to be able to do that yet but it is abso-lutely part of our long-term plan to get rid of it.”

Th e PTT consists of one per cent charged on the fi rst $200,000 of a property’s value and two per cent aft er that. For a $600,000 house, it means $10,000 is due every time it changes hands.

Th e province collected $1.04 bil-lion in PTT in the 2014 fi scal year but projects that will drop to $928 million this year due to an expect-ed decrease in property sales.

Questioned later, Clark declined to give a timeline for the idea and downplayed the comments.

“I wouldn’t characterize it as a promise,” she said. “It’s something that we’d like to do. A promise is something we believe we can do.

We don’t know that we can do it yet. It’s a billion dollars in revenue for government.”

Clark said she would like to at least cut the tax to improve home aff ordability, but said the money would have to be made up else-where.

Th e PTT raises signifi cantly more than the g o v e r n m e n t gets from either forestry ($757 million), natu-ral gas royalties ($542 million) or tobacco taxes ($770 million.)

It’s not the fi rst time Clark has dangled populist sugges-tions of tax or fee relief far down the road. During the 2013 elec-tion campaign, she said Port Mann Bridge tolls could be eliminated ahead of schedule once a windfall from LNG begins to arrive.

Realtors during that campaign urged the province to at least in-crease the threshold at which the two per cent portion of the PTT kicks in to reduce the amount of tax charged on average to higher end homes in Metro Vancouver.

Rising property values have made many more homes subject to the two per cent portion because the $200,000 threshold has never been increased since the PTT was created 28 years ago. Th ere are some exemptions for family trans-

fers and fi rst-time home buyers.Th e government’s PTT take has

fl uctuated with the pace of real estate sales, but has more than tripled from $302 million in 2001.

Th e province rejected a sugges-tion from TransLink in 2010 that it help fund transit by sharing rev-enue from the PTT, half of which

comes from the Lower Main-land.

Th e PTT has also been con-troversial be-cause businesses and wealthy individuals can avoid paying the tax by holding real estate with-in a bare trust

corporation and selling that shell company to the new buyer.

Clark highlighted B.C.’s “hat trick” of three straight surpluses in her Surrey speech one day aft er the release of the provincial budget.

Continuing the hockey analogy, she said it’s critical to play both strong defence in the form of debt control and off ence in pursuing opportunities to grow the econo-my.

Clark noted B.C.’s debt-to-GDP ratio – a key measure of the abil-ity to service debt – is now 17.7 per cent and falling, compared to a national average of 31.5 per cent, nearly 40 per cent in Ontario and nearly 55 per cent in Quebec.

Why cut taxes for the rich?

Th e B.C. government’s third straight budget surplus is the main battleground for provincial politicians this spring, with little else on the order paper to argue about.

Th e main confl ict is over the tax cut for the rich that results from removing a two-year sur-tax on personal income greater than $150,000 a year. It’s an out-rage, says the NDP, starving our threadbare government services of more than $200 million over the next three years.

NDP leader John Horgan set the tone in his reply to Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s budget

speech: “I can appreciate that the minister was celebrating with the champagne-and-caviar set, but the rest of British Columbia saw $700 million in increased fees and taxes on their backs.”

Old news, de Jong replied. It was a two-year surtax on high-income earners to help get B.C. out of its post-recession red ink, and it expired as it was legislated to do.

Th is political theatre doesn’t help people understand what’s ac-tually going on. First, a lot of that red ink was B.C. Liberal blood from dismantling the harmonized sales tax and repaying Ottawa for that failed experiment.

Second, this temporary tax on the rich was a political strategy by de Jong and Premier Christy Clark, limping into an election most expected them to lose. De Jong’s debut budget in February

2013 also accelerated a small in-crease in corporate income tax, stealing two populist planks from Adrian Dix’s NDP platform.

Ending the surtax not only kept a promise, it kept B.C. competi-tive with Alberta on personal in-come taxes. High wage earners and many of their businesses are more mobile every year, which is why this year’s budget also ex-tended tax breaks for high-tech and digital media companies.

Another tweak in de Jong’s bud-get was to increase the low-in-come cutoff for personal income tax from $18,000 to $19,000. Th ose with the lowest incomes are relieved not only of income tax but also medical premiums, which continue to march up by another four per cent, and are mostly paid by employers.

As with the federal election set for this fall, we will hear a lot about

the burden on the vaguely defi ned “middle class.” In B.C. they have to dig deeper for car insurance, hydro, ferry rides and post-sec-ondary tuition, while those top-hatted champagne-sippers party on with their tax holiday?

Well, not exactly. Here’s an as-sessment from Philip Cross, re-search co-ordinator at the Mac-donald-Laurier Institute and former chief economic analyst at Statistics Canada.

Just aft er the 2013 B.C. elec-tion, Cross noted that Canada, its provinces, Europe and the Unit-ed States have all been adjusting their tax systems to increase the load on wealthier people and ease it from the poor.

Th is has closed the wage gap considerably in Canada. By 2010, the top 20 per cent of earners were paying 58.3 per cent of all income taxes. Th at’s up from 50 per cent in

1976, showing how long Canada’sincome taxes have been “progres-sive.” Th is is the main reason why“income inequality,” that othergreat cause of the left , started lev-eling off in Canada around 1998.

Cross points to measures likethe low-income exemption fromincome tax. By 2013, the bottom40 per cent of Canadian house-holds were paying just 6.8 percent of income taxes, and morethan a third of income tax fi lerswere paying none at all.

Cross asks and answers thecentral question: Should the richpay more? “If it’s a misinformedattempt to compensate for imagi-nary losses of low-income people,the answer is clearly no.”

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

Property transfer tax a cash cowRealtors, prospective homebuyers and sellers, and others can stop

hoping that B.C.’s property transfer tax (PTT) will be discontinued.It’s never going to happen. Th e reason? It’s a major cash cow for the

provincial government, needed to balance the budget and there’s no-where else to raise that large chunk of cash without raising personal and corporate income taxes, and that’s not on for the BC Liberals.

Premier Christy Clark is proud of what she says is the country’s lowest tax rate so this kind of special tax, that only hits buyers of property, is not going anytime soon, even though, as Clark herself says, it’s a drag on the economy.

Here’s how it shakes down, according to a recent article by Black Press reporter Jeff Nagel: Th e PTT consists of one per cent charged on the fi rst $200,000 of a property’s value and two per cent aft er that. Th at means for a $600,000 house, $10,000 is due every time it chang-es hands.

Th is handy little calculation is not just a painful hit to the pocket book when purchasing a home — it’s a major source of revenue, gen-erating $1.04 billion in 2014.

Don’t think that’s a lot of cash? Well, consider that the PTT raises signifi cantly more than forestry — formerly the province’s number one industry — which only brings in about $757 million; or natural gas royalties, which at $542 million, generate about half of what the PTT does.

Th ese revenue numbers are interesting for another reason: Th ey show how important real estate is to B.C.’s ongoing fi nancial solidity. Without a strong real estate market, helped, no doubt, by record-low interest rates, the provincial coff ers would be much poorer.

Th e province also benefi ts from rising property values and while there are exemptions for family transfers and fi rst-time home buyers, it appears the property transfer tax is a necessary evil that raises mil-lions to cover basic provincial services. A strong real estate industry and increased property values, especially in single-family homes, are therefore critical to government budgeting — at least for now.

So unless the much-vaunted LNG industry or another economic sector can provide a windfall, the PTT is here to stay.

Th ere are a few thoughts I’d like to share aft er last weeks’ meeting regarding the homeless of Hope. One is about the lowering of prop-erty values. From what I heard, it seemed to me that the previous clien-tele of the Th underbird was not signifi cantly dif-ferent than the current individuals – other than the fact that they are now a recognized group with funded supports. Does this make them an easier target? Did the same people not wander by before, lowering the property values then?

One fact is that this group is achieving goals deemed successful by the provincial govern-ment to the point where they are off ering money. (Not to detract from the individuals’ achievement of personal goals with other rewards). What an opportunity.

Can this not be a sell-ing feature by lauding the existence of highly qualifi ed and dedicated workers who are making a noticeable diff erence in our community?

People of a similar de-scription moved into my neighbourhood a few

years back. Th ey walk and hitch into town. My property value hasn’t budged in all those years. A friend who lives close to the centre of town talks to the folks who like to share her garden harvest as they cruise by. She knows them, chats with them and is not afraid.

As someone famous once said; the poor are always with us.

As for those who con-tribute to and read the negative Facebook sites in town – have you ever considered that people who are thinking of

coming to live and work in Hope are repulsed by these rants? Th at you might be lowering your own property values by turning them off ?

I was surprised to hear the percentages of homeless that Hope has in comparison to other communities and re-alize that is a concern for management. But I do know that, as in all things in life, you play the hand you are dealt.

Th ank you to all the people who are working so hard on the behalf of us all.

Janet Rigby

I applaud the eff orts of Advan-tageHOPE to relocate Hope’s Vis-itor Centre at the historic Station House. I also strongly support the investment of public funds needed to make this happen.

Th e Hope Visitor Centre is a crucial component in our town’s economy. It reaches 40,000 peo-ple each year, and those visitors receive their fi rst impression of our community there.

An improved Visitor Centre will not only serve our tourism economy by promoting local businesses and attractions, it will also encourage visitors to con-sider living here. When someone decides to move their family or

business to Hope, it has a huge long-term economic and social benefi t to our town.

Th e present building is small, in poor condition, and is poorly located to capture the largest possible audience. Even if the present Visitor Centre were to re-main, a signifi cant investment of time and money would be need-ed to improve it. It is smarter to make that investment at the Sta-tion House.

Th e Station House is larger, much more aesthetically appeal-ing, and better located to cap-ture a larger audience. It is also an important historic building, once serving as Hope’s passen-

ger station for the Canadian Na-tional Railway, which celebrates its 100th birthday this year. It is a smart use of resources to both improve our Visitor Centre while at the same time preserve an architectural gem celebrating Hope’s incredible railway history.

Consultants will soon be as-sessing the structural integrity of the Station House, and assum-ing that their reports indicate the building and site are viable, I strongly encourage mayor and council to support the project.

As a taxpayer, I’m proud to see public money used for strategic investments in our town.

Aft er attending last Th ursday night’s fo-rum on homelessness at Hope’s conference centre, my faith in com-munity and good will towards those less for-tunate in our society has been restored.

Hope and Area Tran-sition Society (HATS) has proven to our com-munity, and has mod-elled for our region, what can take place, when groups and agen-cies with similar goals and challenges, coalesce and work together.

It’s unfortunate, that because HATS in the past, has been mis-understood, and that a portion of the local population has been

alarmed over secu-rity, property values, and the threat of ever increasing taxes, has cast a shadow over the project. Now, that it has come to light, through a very well communi-cated forum, that all the various agencies, such as police, both physical and mental health, First Nations, as well as fund-ing through provincial and federal authorities has made the Th under-bird project, of Housing First, a very doable and worthwhile project. Not only does this project provide a very needed service to those in our society who are down on their luck, and have managed to put them-

selves in a position that most of us would consider a nightmare. It has also, in conjunc-tion with the town of Hope, and with the fi -nancial backing of the federal and provincial governments, become a template for every other community in the province, when deal-ing with homelessness. Unfortunately, because of the many prior mis-interpretations and mis-understandings, many members of HATS have been slurred and de-serve our apologies.

Th ough by no means is this system perfect and for sure their learn-ing curve is almost per-pendicular, HATS has

started on a path that will, and should be re-vered throughout the province. With no, or at worse, very limited fi nancial liability to the local ratepayer’s, this project could very well turn into an economic stimulus for the eastern Fraser Valley, and serve as an example for a very needed service for the local area, the province, and Canada as a whole. We should all get on board, and support this project and its group of very dedicated people, and showcase this very pragmatic approach in dealing with homeless-ness as a worthwhile and viable solution.

Film fest returns to HopeNews

Province digs deeper into ICBC piggy bank

The Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival is re-turning to the Hope Cinema on March 5.

Blue Moose Coffee House and Hope Mountain Centre (HMC) are once again host-ing the popular event, and moviegoers will be treated to the “best of the fest” spanning mountain sports, culture and environment.

“This event always draws a big crowd,” said HMC program

director Kelly Pearce. “People get inspired not just

by the thrilling outdoor adven-ture, but also the emotional hu-man stories that take place”.

This year, six films from around the world will be fea-tured.

Pearce notes that the event has sold out for the last two years, so it’s best to buy tickets in advance at the Blue Moose or Pharmasave. Raffle tickets are also on sale, and prizes in-

clude a weekend at Manning Park, snowshoes, a four-man tent, and an art banner by artist Jenny Wolpert.

“The event raises money for Hope Mountain Centre,” said Pearce, “allowing us to offer more free outdoor programs, maintain trails, and support conservation projects in the Hope community”.

Doors to the Hope Cinema open at 6 p.m. and the films start at 7 p.m.


Th e B.C. government intends to pull more money out of ICBC in the years ahead.

Th e annual dividend from the public auto in-surer – which goes into general government rev-enue despite repeated demands from critics for

lower premiums instead – is estimated at $160 million a year in each of 2015, 2016 and 2017, ac-cording to budget docu-ments.

Th at’s an increase from estimates of $155 million for 2015 and $125 mil-lion for 2016 in last year’s budget.

By the end of 2017, the province will have raided $1.5 billion from ICBC coff ers since 2010.

Th e money comes from the profi ts on ICBC’s optional insur-ance side, which can’t be used to reduce basic auto premiums because the two sides of the business are segregated.

Critics accused the government of building its budget surplus by hav-ing Crown corporations like ICBC and BC Hydro charge customers more than is required and then transfer funds.

Electricity rates are rising six per cent while BC Hydro’s net income – most of which is re-mitted to government – climbs from $549 mil-lion last year to about $700 million by 2017. Th e province has prom-ised to eventually reduce

and eliminate the Hydrotransfers.

Th e Canadian Taxpay-ers Federation was criti-cal of the latest 4.2 percent increase in MedicalService Premiums, call-ing it a continuing taxhike that exceeds infl a-tion.

A family of three willpay $150 per month inMSP premiums, up 40per cent in fi ve years. Th epattern of service fee in-creases and income taxrestraint is a recurringone in B.C. budgets. ButNew Democrats say it’sparticularly unfair thisyear because of the gov-ernment’s decision to re-duce the income tax forthe wealthy earning morethan $150,000 a year.

“Instead of giving abreak to families who arestruggling, the B.C. Lib-erals singled out the toptwo per cent of incomeearners for a $230 milliontax cut,” said NDP leaderJohn Horgan.

Finance Minister Mikede Jong said the highertax bracket was createdas a temporary measuretwo years ago to shore upthe budget and it’s beingeliminated on schedule,as promised.

Battle of the BadgesCommunity

Hope RCMP defeated Hope Fire Department 13-5 at the Battle of the Badges

match on Saturday at Hope Arena. The game is held annually in memory

of Tyler Wells, a Hope teen who died of cancer in 2007. Yahna Neufeld (Bergen) performed the

national anthem and Tyler Wells’ grandmother,

Roberta, dropped the ceremonial puck before

the game. The event raised $1,920 for Cops for Cancer, an initiative that helps fund childhood cancer research

Local ref gaining provincial recognition

Minor hockey referee Blake Deschenes keeps an eye on the action in a recent midget C game at Chilliwack Twin Rinks. By season-end, Deschenes will have officiated in well over 200 games since September.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Sports

Barry StewartHope Standard

It’s certainly not for everybody — but minor hockey referee Blake Deschenes says his is, “one of the best part-time jobs you can get, if you’re in high school.”

The 17-year-old figures he has worked in about 200 games, so far this season, in roughly equal parts as referee and linesman. To get that many games, he has had to travel to all of the rinks between Hope and Langley — and even to Richmond for a big tournament.

Deschenes played goalie through his second year of ban-tam but he had started reffing two years earlier. His dad, Gilbert, was a hockey ref when he was a teen and he got back into the role when his son started playing hockey.

“I decided that I enjoyed reff-ing more than playing,” says De-schenes, who is in his grad year at Hope Secondary.

“It’s nice to make money, in-stead of spending money on equipment. Goal tending can be very expensive.”

What does he like about the work?

“You get to name your own hours, for the most part. You ob-viously enjoy the game, so you get to spend more time with it — and it’s good exercise. We skate more than any of the players, because they get to sit down between shifts.

“It also teaches traits that em-ployers look for,” he adds, “dealing with conflicts, handling responsi-bility, being in charge of people, keeping people safe, communicat-ing tactfully and being attentive.”

He believes those attributes — and his Level 2 Industrial First Aid ticket — helped him land a job at the Bridal Falls waterslides last summer.

Deschenes’ reffing abilities have been recognized by assessors and have earned him invitations to work provincial championships for pee wee tier I, three years ago and bantam tier III last year. He also got to work at the rep-level bantam and midget international tournament in Richmond during the Christmas break.

This season, the mainstream media has had a lot of focus on abusive fans hurling insults and threats at officials, especially on Vancouver Island — and social

media brought the young ref into the discussion before Christmas.

“My mom (Brenda) shared a link on Facebook about the Van-couver Island issues and I com-mented on it,” recalls Deschenes.

“Then she copy-pasted my comments onto the news sites at CBC and Global and they sought me out. I was interviewed by CBC radio and Global on the phone and CBC TV via Skype.”

Deschenes says he’s heard lots of negative comments from the sidelines while reffing but he per-severes through it.

“You have to remember that they’re yelling at the uniform and not at you.”

From his own experience as a player in soccer, basketball and hockey he knows where the com-plaints are coming from. The of-ficials — and the Zamboni driver — are the only impartial folks in the arena, most days.

“When I play sports, I’m bi-ased,” says Deschenes. “I like to think I’m not… but I am.”

Now more than halfway through his grad year at HSS, De-schenes has set his sights on the future.

“I’ve applied for officer train-ing at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario,” he says. “I’m going through medical test-ing now and if I pass that, it could lead to a job offer.”

There’s heavy competition for the positions, he says, but he fig-ures that his work as a referee and his honour roll status through high school should help. This year, he has a full load of aca-demics, including chemistry and physics 12, math and calculus 12, and law and English 12.

“If I’m accepted, they pay for tuition, books and housing — and there’s a salary while I’m going to school,” says Deschenes, who would like to train as a pilot or in-fantry officer.

In return for four years of free schooling, students are contract-ed to work with the armed forces for another nine years.

“If I go to Kingston, I’ll have lots of school work — but I’d like to keep up with hockey reffing,” adds Deschenes.

“They have leagues on the base and in the community.”

Wherever he ends up next year, his time card will be full.

A14 Hope Standard, Thursday, February 26, 2015

Sofi a Scales GilroySofi a Scales Gilroy passed away peacefully on the morning of February 8th at 7:45am in Hope, B.C.Born in the Ukraine in 1921, Sofi a Hunchuk arrived in Canada at the age of seven. She was the only female in a family of eight siblings. As the only daughter, the sheer toughness of her character formed in the hardship of Manitoba farming life where she and her mother preserved traditions as much as they preserved pickles, beets, and the Ukrainian language. As a teen, she was drawn to urban life, where she met and married Stanley Scales, with whom she had her two children, Maxine Scales Rodriguez and Connie Scales Fitter. The Hunchuk family maintained a tight clannish existence wherever they found themselves. Sofi a and her beloved siblings became parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. As the Hunchuks extended like a web, the lives of family members marked the defi ning moments in Sofi a’s life. She had deep love for her family, ever the matriarch, bristling with wisdom, she could organize and lead in ways that the youth of the family today may recognize and would love to emulate. She was an independent woman and was ahead of her time working to empower women, long before it came into vogue! Her gardens mirrored her personality, full of life, rich with the old and the new, charming and nourishing, and always well preserved for sharing with loved ones. At those special times – births, weddings, and other noted rites of passage – when the family displayed an uncanny knack for celebration, Sofi a sparkled and rang like a bell. Nobody knew how to have serious fun like Granny. She is most dearly missed and will always be remembered. Those of us who knew her best shall always remember her as a lady of great class and as one who deserves to be remembered as a rare “classic.”Her two daughters, Maxine Scales Rodriguez and Connie Scales Fitter survive Sofi a. Four grandchildren: Gregory Rodriguez, Elisa Rodriguez Kuphaldt, Sheila Fitter, Keri Fitter. Grandson, Jeff Fitter, predeceased Sofi a Scales. Also survived by seven great grandchildren: Adam, Scott and Jason Kuphaldt, Sofi a, Emma and Emiliano Rodriguez, Alexandra and Mathew Ford and Michael Fitter.Most importantly her beloved brothers survive her: Fred Hunchuk, Sandy Hunchuk, Steve Hunchuk and Peter Hunchuk. There are multiple other nieces and nephews plus inlaws. Three brothers predeceased her: William, John and Bill Hunchuk.The family wishes to express sincere gratitude to all her caregivers who assisted her at Fraser Health Lodge.
