Property owners who undertake signifi cant improvements to their in-dustrial or commercial buildings may soon be eligible for a tax break.

Hope council discussed the idea of adopting a revitalization tax exemp-tion program to encourage new in-vestment in designated areas during a committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday. Th e goal is to create econom-ic activity in Hope that will provide jobs for local residents and provide incentives for new residents to move to the community.

“It’s more a message of being busi-ness friendly,” said Coun. Scott Med-lock. “Th e intent is not to get your full investment back, but rather a way for you to save some money.”

Th e Offi cial Community Plan for the district identifi ed commercial, in-dustrial and downtown revitalization as a priority. In 2004, the Community Charter was introduced, off ering a new revitalization tax exemption op-portunity. AdvantageHOPE took the lead on the project this year and circu-lated the proposed bylaw for feedback.

If passed, council will be able to en-ter into an agreement with property owners within the designated areas and upon issuance of an exemption certifi cate to the assessor, those im-provements are exempt from a por-tion of municipal property value taxes for a period of seven to 10 years.

Tax exemptions will only apply if there is a new improvement or altera-tion to an existing improvement. Th e minimum industrial/commercial new construction investment would

be set at $500,000, while the mini-mum industrial/commercial renova-tion, alternation, or facade investment would be $20,000. Th e minimum in-vestment values for downtown com-mercial property would be the same.

Th e maximum assessment exemp-tion under the proposed bylaw would be the diff erence between the value of the land and improvement in the year prior to construction and the year in which the tax certifi cate fi rst applies.

As an example, a $20,000 exemp-tion on 2013 rates would yield an esti-mated tax savings of $671.26 for light industry property and $529.01 for commercial.

Coun. Donna Kropp supported the initiative, but raised concerns over the length of the program’s incentive and was in favour of lowering eligibility to fi ve to seven years.

“Th is should be built in as an in-centive not as a gift horse,” she said.“I think it should be there to providethe impetus for people to think ‘wowthis is great, the district is in businessfor business, and we want that benefi t.’But if it’s dragging on and on, I don’tknow if it’s got that same hammer as itdid in the beginning.”

Medlock, who was involved insome of the discussions with Advan-tageHOPE during the bylaw draft ingprocess, said the time frames were de-termined in order to remain competi-tive with neighbouring jurisdictions.

Th e proposed revitalization taxexemption bylaw will be brought for-ward to council on Oct. 28 for approv-al of the fi rst three readings.

If adopted, the goal is to have theprogram in place for the next con-struction season.

Halloween derby event plannedKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Residents have one more chance to witness some hard-hitting action at the Sports Bowl this year.

Hope Motorsports Group has decided to host it’s fi rst ever night demolition derby on Oct. 26, coining the competition Pumpkin Smash. An event like this has been in the works for some time, but organizer Scott Medlock said it wasn’t until Jim Lasser provided street lights for the RCMP Musical Ride in September that it be-came a real possibility.

“We’ve got what we need to do it now,” he said. “Th ere’s a lot of people interested in it and there’s some cars running in the derby that are at the point of not good enough to compete in a whole derby but good enough to run another heat or two. A lot of people are interested in running a car now and getting one more use out of it.”

Th e plan is to have two

heats of mini-stock rac-es, one main demolition derby and one free-for-all demolition derby at the end. Th ere will also be a large bonfi re on the mound of dirt just be-hind the derby arena to enhance the atmosphere.

Admission is by dona-tion, with proceeds go-

ing to Hope Search and Rescue. Spectators are encouraged to dress up in costumes and bring a carved pumpkin for a pumpkin toss event. Prizes will be awarded to those closest to the target.

Pumpkin Smash kicks off at 7 p.m. on Oct. 26.

Th ere will be partici-pants from WashingtonState, and around theLower Mainland and In-terior.

If there’s enough sup-port from the commu-nity, Hope MotorsportsGroup may turn Pump-kin Smash into annualevent at the Sports Bowl.

FVRD director ordered to return funds to district

Alina Konevski Black Press

Directors at the Fraser Valley Regional District who failed to support some expenses during a recent audit must reimburse the district, the board of direc-tors decided at the last meet-ing.

Th is ruling will concern at least Area B director Dennis Adamson.

Adamson underwent an au-dit earlier this year of his 2011 and 2012 expenses aft er failing to provide supporting docu-ments for claims of $28,545 incurred in 2011.

Aft er the completion of the audit in July 2013, Adamson still had expenses of $1,545 that could not be explained.

Th e regional district paid out all expenses to Adamson during the year they were in-curred.

At the FVRD board meet-ing on Sept. 25, Abbotsford municipal director John Smith moved that costs that couldn’t be justifi ed through the audit be reimbursed back to FVRD.

“We have to be totally trans-parent. We have to be held up to scrutiny, public scrutiny, and it may not be a huge amount to the size of the budget of the FVRD, but it’s the principle of the thing,” said Smith.

Smith referred to the ongo-ing investigation of senator Pamela Wallin’s expenses. Wal-lin has already paid back over $140,000 to the government.

“Th e reality is, they paid it back anyway. Maybe under protest, but they paid it back. And I think that should be done,” said Smith.

Th e fi nal amount to be re-turned to FVRD is still to be determined, as is the fi nal list of directors concerned. Area C Director Wendy Bales was the other elected offi cial who faced a stringent audit of 2011 and 2012 expenses aft er she didn’t provide sup-porting docu-ments for 2011 expens-es of $14,032 in due time. Bales passed the audit with no left over balance.

FVRD staff are currently d e t e r m i n -ing the fi nal amount to be returned, are discussing with aff ected directors, and will re-port back to the board in a fu-ture meeting.

Directors were feeling the pressure of a public spotlight on spending by elected offi cials at the Sept. 25 meeting.

“Th e public perception nationwide - there’s a lot of skepticism, cynicism about politicians in general…I think it behooves us to really be vigilant and even more careful about it,” said Abbotsford mu-nicipal director Dave Loewen.

A heated discussion ignited

about cost of travel.Directors are reimbursed for

travel at $0.52 per kilometre for scheduled meetings. On top of that, they can claim up to 400 km per month for meet-ings with constituents.

Th e discretionary amount does not vary according to the size of the electoral district, a challenge for some directors.

“Area B is geographically a lot larger in size, and you pay

extra so that the director can meet with his or her constituents. Th e only way that we can guarantee ac-cess is to top it up,” said Adamson.

Bales said that she has been using her personal

savings to cover the cost of constituency travel.

On Sept. 29, 2013, the FVRD revoked a long-standing policy to top up Area B’s travel ex-penses by an additional $5,000 per year, and director David Lamson’s Area E by $350. Al-though Adamson used the full additional credit every year, Lamson has not claimed his in recent years.

Director Bill Dickey, over-seeing a smaller Area D, said the discretionary 400 km per month is suffi cient and gener-ous.

“For someone such as my-self, I never claim anything in this regard, and I shouldn’t, be-cause I’ve got a very compact area,” said Dickey. “People such as director Adamson, obvious-ly, are in a diff erent situation. Th at’s why this (discretionary amount) was put in place.”

Th e board of directors re-solved to adopt a new travel expense policy that laid out guidelines of distances between the regional offi ce and electoral district offi ces, reaffi rmed that supporting documents are needed for all claims, approved an electronic tracking sheet for mileage, and abolished the top-up credit of $5,000 for large ar-eas.

Chair Sharon Gaetz was pleased with the results.

“It feels like today, the ac-countabilities are tightening,” she said.

Chief Administrative Offi cer Paul Gipps remains confi dent that these policy changes mark a new era in FVRD account-ability.

“Th eir (the directors’) inter-pretation of what was allowed, and the board’s interpretation of what was allowed, was dif-fering. I’d say that’s very clear now. It’s very clear to staff what we should accept and what we shouldn’t accept,” said Gipps. “I’m very comfortable in say-ing that the likelihood of this happening again is basically nil.”

“How many times do you eat dinner at the table together with your family?”

That’s just one of the questions students will be answering in an upcoming survey designed to find out about current local lifestyles.

The survey based on the 5-2-1-0 Let’s Go concept of better living, and was devel-oped by Hope and area Healthy Communities.

The school board approved the survey unanimously at last week’s board meeting. Stan Watchorn, the district’s director of instruction, explained that the survey will ask basic questions about students’ lives and give health providers and

the school district an idea of what health barriers students are facing.

The 5-2-1-0 Let’s Go program asks kids to eat five or more fruits and vegetables a day, limit themselves to two hours or less of recreational screen time, encourages one hour or more per day or physical activity and zero sugary drinks in favour of water and low fat milk.

University studyThe board also ap-

proved a second sur-vey to be carried out this year, with two trustees opposed.

Both Trustee Pat Furness and Trustee Linda McMullan both voted against bringing the Queen’s University Health Study to the

Fraser Cascade. “It’s just survey after

survey,” Furness said. The survey looks

at the health status of young people across Canada, and will be given to students in

Grades 7 to 10 at AESS and Grades 6 and 7 at C.E. Barry intermedi-ate school.

Flu viruses are spread by contact with respiratory droplets from another person’s sneeze or cough. These droplets may make contact with your nose or mouth. It can also be spread by kissing or touching something with the virus on it. Shaking hands can do it. (Elbow-bumping, anyone?)Other ways of reducing

your chances of getting the u (besides the yearly u shot) is to ensure you are getting enough zinc and vitamin D in your diet. Zinc seems to strengthen the

immune system. Beef, lamb, chicken, oysters and pumpkin seeds are good sources. Multivitamins contain 7.5 to 15mg of zinc. Vitamin D in doses of 2000 units daily from food and supplements is now a recommended minimum.Pharmacists are often asked

if it’s safe for a pregnant woman to get a u shot. The answer is a de nite yes. The u can put stress on the heart, lungs and the immune system as well. Having respiratory problems while pregnant can cause complications. So by all means, if you are pregnant,

get a u shot.For many herbal remedies,

there is no good evidence for many of the claims made for them. Arnica is one of these. It’s not safe to take it orally, however for use on injured areas of the skin that might bruise has some anecdotal evidence that it helps. So it’s worth a try. Side effects include itching, rash and dry skin.For answers to your

questions about herbs or any other drug product, talk to our pharmacists. They are always ready to serve you.


BC Hydro’s contractor for the Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission Project will be burning slash piles on BC Hydro’s right-of-way

between Merritt and Boston Bar this fall. This work is planned to start in mid-October, weather dependent, and continue as needed

through to the end of December.

The contractor has obtained the necessary permits and

will comply with all regulations. A key requirement is

that the contractor does not conduct burning unless

the venting index is “good”. This ensures proper air

movement exists to minimize smoke impacts to people

in the vicinity of the burning.

The 247 kilometre, 500 kilovolt transmission line

currently under construction, will expand the capacity of

the system that brings power to businesses and homes

in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

Spend an evening with Trevor Linden Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Trevor Linden is coming to Hope next week to talk about the importance of teamwork and leadership.

Th e evening, hosted by the Hope & District Chamber of Commerce, will include a ca-tered dinner, keynote speech and photo opportunity with the former professional hock-ey player.

“What I hope people get out of it is how essential team-work and leadership are to running a successful enter-prise, whether it be a local non-profi t or a small busi-ness,” said Chamber president Glen Ogren.

“Even if there is only one of you, there are suppliers and support that need to work to-gether to realize a successful busi-ness.”

Linden will share stories and tips on leader-ship and strat-egies for suc-cess. Some of the themes he’ll touch on are goal setting, team building and creating a posi-tive culture, all woven around some hockey-related stories.

“I try and make the connec-tion between my life in hock-

ey and my life aft er hockey, and how many of the lessons I learned at the rink or in the dressing room are no dif-ferent than what I’ve experienced in the business world aft er hock-ey,” said Linden.

“I do a lot of corporate speak-ing where I en-gage employees and challenge

them on diff erent ways to look at problems, how to tackle the

goals they’ve set out for them-selves and how to build a goodteam. Ultimately, we’re all partof teams and work within thattype of structure.”

Th e evening with TrevorLinden is sponsored by BlackPress, Hope Brewing Co,Kinder Morgan, StarFM andNestle Waters.

Th e event runs from 5:30-9:30 p.m. at the Hope Legionon Oct. 24. Th e deadline forpurchasing tickets is Tuesday,Oct. 22 at 5 p.m.

Most Hope area residents have walked the abandoned rail-way grade in the Co-quihalla Canyon Pro-vincial Park through the Othello-Quintette Tunnels and over the two bridges that span the foaming river be-low.

A vast majority must have wondered how it

came to be that these tunnels and bridges were built here and why they were aban-doned over 50 years ago.

On Tuesday, Oct. 22, Joe Smuin, author of “Canadian Pacific’s Kettle Valley Railway” and “Kettle Valley Railway Mileboards: A Historical Field Guide to the KVR,” will pres-ent a photo-essay that

will reveal how the en-gineers and construc-tion crews overcame the challenges of the narrow twisting Co-quihlla gorge to thread the Kettle Valley Rail-way line through in a direct alignment of tunnels and bridges. Many of these photos have not been pub-lished before.

Smuin is back by popular demand as he

already delivered two very popular presenta-tions in 2012 and ear-lier this year about the Kettle Valley Railway history.

Since over 120 peo-ple attended the last session in May, orga-nizers are arranging for 150 chairs and a sound system for this presentation. It will held be in the confer-ence room of the rec-

reation centre, locatedat 1005 Sixth Ave.

The one-hour pro-gram begins at 7 p.m.but residents are en-couraged to come ear-ly to get a good seat.

Former Hope resident takes a stand against racism

Katie BartelBlack Press

Tara Peters is stand-ing up against racism in hopes her children won’t have to.

While Peters, her-self, has never had rac-ism pointedly directed at her, hearing it still cuts her to the core.

After 32 years, the last straw came last week.

The young mom was standing in a grocery line with her 20-month-old daugh-ter Layla. She was ex-hausted, as moms of toddlers tend to be, and was doing every-thing she could to hold her daughter at bay while they waited to pay for their groceries.

A grandmotherly woman standing in front of Peters turned and started cooing at Layla, playing peak-a-boo with her, asking questions, anything to help distract the curi-ous toddler from pull-ing chocolate bars off the shelves.

One aisle over, an-other mom of First Nations descent stood with her child, the same age and seeming curiosity as Layla.

Peters, a know-ing smile on her face, looked up at the wom-an still playing with her daughter, about to laugh that she wasn’t the only one.

Instead, she faced a cold stare. The friend-ly grandmother was gone.

“They just shouldn’t f**king breed,” she hissed.

The man in front of the woman joined in, criticizing the ab-original community for being lazy, having children they can’t af-ford or take care of, re-lying on their minority status.

Peters was stunned silent. Her heart raced. She felt sweat glisten-ing her skin.

Peters, herself, is of First Nations descent, a member of the Cha-wathil band in Hope. She grew up on the re-serve, she has a status card, her mom, Rhoda Peters, chief of the band, is a residential school survivor.

But the difference between Peters and the other mom is that Pe-ters’ skin doesn’t show her heritage.

“Because of my cau-casian appearance, because I am light skinned with auburn hair and hazel eyes, I was included in their little club,” she said.

“It was sickening. What is going on in your head to think that that is okay to say?”

For days after, Peters replayed the experi-ence in her head over and over. She wished she had said some-thing, had gone over and assisted the other mom, had stood up against the racist com-ments being thrown about so brazenly in-stead of averting her eyes to her daughter, her shoes, the rack of magazines, anywhere but at them.

For years she’s been witness to those com-ments and has almost always let them slide.

No more.“I’m sick of dis-

tancing myself from friends because of their racist comments and attitudes; I’m sick of being told that ev-eryone should just get over it because what happened to aborigi-nal people in Canada was something that happened a long time ago,” she said, not-ing the last residential school closed in 1984, just four years after she was born.

“Most of all, I’m sick of people looking at my loved ones and seeing nothing but

dysfunction and then condemning them for their mental health

issues when the very cause of those issues is that air of condemna-tion that allowed the Indian Act to come to pass.”

Racist remarks don’t show the love, sup-port, and care of the aboriginal community, she said.

“Despite everything that has happened, despite the every day challenges, and heart-ache, and discrimi-nation, we still have pride in our family, our people, our com-munity, and our land,” she said.

“I have experienced other cultures and oth-er peoples, but I have yet to come across anyone who is so free

with laughter, affec-tion and love as my family. And by family, I mean my communi-ty and nation – that’s what family means at our table.”

It’s time Chilliwack stop burying its head in the sand, said Pe-ters.

“People pretend this sort of stuff isn’t hap-pening in our commu-nity, but it is,” she said.

“One day soon, I will have to find a way to explain these things to my children. I will have to prepare them for that angry woman in the grocery store. I shouldn’t have to. It’s stupid that I have to – haven’t we grown up yet?”

‘Social justice’ as student indoctrination

As the B.C. Teachers’ Federation executive moseys back to the bar-gaining table aft er a summer off , I’m reminded of former education minister George Abbott’s thoughts on his time trying to establish a civil discussion with the province’s most militant union.

It started with a lecture.“In my fi rst meeting with the

BCTF, and I gather this is charac-teristic of all fi rst meetings with education ministers, the TF ad-vises that yes, they are a union, but fi rst and foremost they are so-cial activists and agents of social change,” Abbott recalled.

Th eir buzzword is “social jus-tice,” which is portrayed by left ists as superior to plain old justice, in

ways that are seldom defi ned. So what exactly are the goals of this “social change”? Here’s some of what I’ve gleaned.

Parents may recall the 2008 introduction of an elective high school course called Social Justice 12. Th is was mainly the result of intense protest by a couple of gay activist teachers, and the ministry curriculum describes its emphasis on inclusion of racial, cultural and sexual diff erences.

Th at’s all good, and it’s now bol-stered by urgently needed anti-bullying and empathy eff orts at all grades.

Th en there is the BCTF version. It’s not just a battle against “rac-ism, homophobia and sexism” but also “poverty and globalization.”

Th e BCTF has a quarterly “So-cial Justice Newsletter” fi lled with predictable economic assump-tions. Readers of the latest issue are reminded at length that the United Nations takes a dim view

of Canada’s record on human rights, including a right to hous-ing. Undefi ned “poverty” statistics are cited, although Statistics Can-ada has nothing but incomplete relative measures.

One article describes a social justice club for Grade 2 and 3 stu-dents, with activities that include collecting food bank donations and “writing to the premier ask-ing for a systemic plan to address child poverty.”

Leaving aside whether eight-year-olds can understand what “systemic” means, this rhetoric is taken directly from the tired old NDP policy book. It rests on the cherished myth that poverty is im-posed by right-wing governments that refuse to double the mini-mum wage and pile more taxes on “the rich.”

And what about that darned “globalization”? Th e BCTF still has a 2001 teaching guide on its web-site promoting the claim that Nike

is uniquely guilty of making shoes and exercise gear in Th ird World sweatshops.

Teachers are to instruct students how to organize a boycott of Nike, thus passing the received wisdom of campus radicalism to the next generation.

Th is was all debunked years ago. Are Adidas, Reebok, Apple and Microsoft any diff erent? Has noth-ing changed in 12 years? A quick web search will show this is a stale old tale with a convenient villain, to avoid complex questions.

A BCTF offi cial assures me this unit is being updated. Once that one is done, maybe they could check over their teaching unit on Enbridge’s Northern Gateway proposal, another labour of the union’s “social justice” truth team.

Entitled “What We Stand To Lose With Pipelines and Super-tankers,” it boasts wildlife photos and “key sources” from the left (Canadian Centre for Policy Al-

ternatives) to the far-left fringe(Pipe Up Network). It is anotherprotesters’ guide designed arounda pre-determined viewpoint.

BCTF bosses love to talk aboutthe importance of “critical think-ing.” Th ese one-sided caricaturesof Nike, Enbridge and other famil-iar villains seem designed to pro-duce the opposite.

Th ey remind me of George Or-well’s classic novel 1984, whereloyal party members are requiredto focus on selected enemies in adaily ritual called the Two Min-utes Hate.

Perhaps this is a clue to why ourschool system produces so manystudents lacking in employmentskills and bursting with demandsfor government-imposed wealthredistribution.

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

Higher speed, higher riskLead foots and left -lane campers, the province wants

to hear from you.Th e B.C. government is reviewing speed limits for long

stretches of highway, and Transportation Minister Todd Stone wants your feedback on how fast is fast enough.

Th e review is not supposed to be about increasing speed limits, but ensuring the province has the correct speed limits in place.

Stone, who sees the Coquihalla as a likely candidate for a speed-limit adjustment, says the goal is to ensure those who travel B.C.’s rural highways are able to do so as safely and effi ciently as possible.

Sounds good. And no doubt, those 110 km/hr signs along the Coquihalla are already being interpreted by many a driver as 120 km/hr. In fact, it’s a safe bet that whatever the decided upon speed limit is, drivers will round up by 10.

Th e big question mark here is those behind the wheel.Cars may be better constructed, but drivers – not nec-

essarily so. Case in point, according to ICBC, distracted driving – typically fi ddling with gadgets while driving – is the cause of about one-quarter of all traffi c fatalities in the province. Do you want people texting while doing 130 km/hr into the Great Bear Snowshed?

Speaking of cell phones, travel the Coquihalla in win-ter and you’re certain to see SUVs ditched on the side of the road, their drivers out in the snow on the phone, presumably trying to contact roadside assistance.

One of the hazards of not driving to conditions.Which leads us to hope that if speed limits are in-

creased, highway traffi c enforcement resources follow suit.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Should the school district allocate funds towards programs that prepare young

children for school?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 23% No 77%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

As you travel from the West Coast to the rest of Canada, one has to travel through a little town called Hope. Hope is the hub to every major highway in British Columbia.

Hope has so much to off er, too bad the citizens, city hall, and the business of this little town have no hope.

Th e economic downturn of this little town started with the rebuilding of the Coquihalla and its toll booths. Th e pro-vincial and federal governments give little to no help to this struggling town, even though they are the main cause of the towns demise and have yet to ac-

knowledge their part in this downturn.I have lived here for four months now

and have seen more shops close than I have seen new businesses open. Th e empty shops, commercial real estate and housing for sale signs accumulate more and more on a regular basis. I have talked with people who have had their homes on the market for two years without an off er, business real estate has been stagnant, standing empty for years.

So many citizens have to travel quite a distance to earn an income and the people who can not aff ord a vehicle or can not drive are becoming poorer as

there is relatively nowhere to work in this town.

Th e federal government has com-pletely ignored Canada’s major highway in this area. I have literally had to avoid pot holes bigger than my tires on this highway. Why does the federal govern-ment not take pride in Canada’s High-way 1? Is it because it is not in Ontario?

What interest do our federal and pro-vincial governments have in this little town? Do they care about the citizens of this province and country? I think not. I believe they have completely ignored this beautiful town that should be and

could be a major tourist attraction for people all over the globe, generating revenue for the province and Canada.

Industries opening here would be ac-tually quite intelligent for a business as Hope is a hub to the rest of Canada.

Stop, respectfully, ignoring a town that could be fl ourishing if it had the assistance of the federal and provincial Governments. If they choose to ignore this town any longer, then all I can say is shame on the people in charge who have the opportunity to make a diff er-ence.

Re: Colonial rule raises its ugly head again, Letters (Oct. 10)

I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Th omsen’s letter.

Our present political party sys-tem makes it impossible to make democratic governments. As I take my daily dose of the Global BC news, it becomes very clear that our politicians are not trans-parent or trustworthy. When I look at the situation in Syria and Egypt and their dictatorial leaders killing their own civilian population, what good is the UN security council? Th e closing of

the government in the good old U.S.A. speaks volumes of the party politics. Here in Canada, our elected and non-elected pol-iticians are walking the slim line of being outright criminals or not getting caught yet. It has be-come real obvious to people like myself and Mr. Th omsen that the only time the population of Can-ada is important to our political leaders is the promise-making time of our elections.

I just hope that there is some wannabe politicians who are sick and tired of the way we are ma-

nipulated by of our lemmings we have elected to lead us into our future.

Th e present system of living, cheating and outright corrup-tion in our governments can’t continue simply because the population is getting too smart to let the corrupt politicians keep going the path they have chosen. Aft er all, there are a hell of a lot of ordinary folks around then there are politicians. Something just has to change the way we are governed.

Is there a purpose for the crosswalk at the Kawkawa Lake Bridge?

Everyday I walk and when it is time to crossover I stand there waiting as vehicle after vehicle roar across the bridge not even notic-ing that I am trying to cross.

Last Thursday was the ultimate experi-ence, as I was halfway across, a truck roared behind me.

The four-way stop has not slowed any traffic down as it comes over the bridge.

It would be so kind if some drivers could give us the opportuni-

ty to use the crosswalk

that was placed there

for a purpose.

Gaps wide in oil spill response scenarios

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Th e B.C. environment ministry has released its promised study of the current state of crude oil spill response capability, tracking the growing tonnage of petroleum shipping along the West Coast and estimating response time and eff ectiveness if oil was to spill at sea.

Oil recovery in computer sim-ulated oil spills could be as high as 25 per cent aft er fi ve days, or as low as four per cent for Alas-ka crude, with another quarter evaporating.

Th e study was commissioned to back up Premier Christy Clark’s conditions for B.C.’s ap-proval of expanded heavy oil shipments, either from twinning the TransMountain pipeline from northern Alberta to Burnaby, or the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project across northern B.C. to a new tanker port at Kiti-mat.

Environment Minister Mary

Polak said the study shows the need to increase response capa-bility before the B.C. government would consider increased oil shipments.

“While we respect federal ju-risdiction over marine spills, we must ensure B.C.’s interests are being met, and that means add-ing more resources to protect our coast,” Polak said.

Th e three-volume report also details the huge and growing traf-fi c that exists now.

Shipping data show a 17 per cent increase in marine traffi c volume from 2011 to 2012. An estimated 110 million cubic me-tres of petroleum products per year are shipped, about a third of which is crude-like bunker oil carried as fuel on ships of all kinds. Th e biggest tanker cargo is 38 million cubic metres of mostly Alaska crude a year.

Th e study includes recovery estimates for seven oil spill sce-narios, six of which assumed a spill of Alaska North Slope crude that has been shipped by tankers

down the B.C. coast to U.S. refi n-eries since the 1970s. Two sce-narios involve an Alaska crudespill in Dixon Entrance, with fourper cent recovery in summer anthree per cent in winter.

One scenario examines a sum-mer-time spill of diluted bitumenin the Juan de Fuca Strait, withresponse from Canadian andU.S. ships and oil recovery equip-ment. It estimated 31 per cent oilrecovery aft er fi ve days, in sum-mer conditions with daylight-only operations.

Diluted bitumen tanker ship-ments from Kinder MorganCanada’s Burnaby terminal hit ahigh of 69 in 2010. Th e expansionwould mean 300 tankers a year inand out of Vancouver harbour.

Th e federal government haslaunched its own research projectto model the drift and behaviourof a bitumen spill in the oceanaround Kitimat, and funded ma-rine weather forecasting to facili-tate shipping.

Th e provincial government is providing $135,614 to support four community-based pro-grams in the upper Fraser Valley to help adult learners improve their reading and writing skills.

Th e University of the Fraser Valley is partnering with four community organizations in Chilliwack, Hope, and Agassiz-Harrison to deliver reading and writing skills training. Chilli-wack Learning Community So-ciety is receiving $40,000, with

$31,984 for Agassiz-Harrison Community Services, $32,000 to Chilliwack Community Ser-vices, and $31,630 will go to New Page Human Services Society of Hope.

“Literacy is a necessary tool to participate fully in our society,” said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Lau-rie Th roness. “We want to help ensure that everyone has an op-portunity to gain literacy skills.”

Th e funding is part of the $2.4 million investment by the

provincial government into the Community Adult Literacy Pro-gram (CALP) to support proj-ects in 90 communities this fi scal year. It’s anticipated that 9,000 people throughout B.C. will ben-efi t from the funding.

Th rough CALP, local groups collaborate with a public post-secondary institution to deliver literacy training, encouraging transitions from community-based programs to post-second-ary studies.

Job training never wastedGrowing up in a

small community like Hope can bring chal-lenges for people try-ing to make career choices.

Often their perspec-tive of employment is limited because there are not that many types of fields of work in small towns. Not surprisingly, people raised in resource communities tend to work in resource in-dustries.

However, when the industry changes, as it has in Hope, it can be very difficult to make informed career choices.

Having to make a career choice can be paralyzing for many people.

Folks are fearful of making the wrong

decision. “What if I choose something I don’t like? I’ll have spent all this time and money and then be do-ing a job I hate.”

I was wor-ried I was choosing the easy path af-ter I left my work as a community n e w s p a p e r reporter. I had signed up for a program in Media Tech-niques at the BC Institute of Tech-nology.

The courses were easy and I was doing well. I liked my school but I wasn’t challenged. I thought it was a good idea to get trained in media design after a

rocky career in jour-nalism.

I knew I needed a job in the short term to help pay my way through school and

help with the grocery bill at home. Some friends of mine had started a small compa-ny and asked me if I could help them out, assist-ing job seek-ers with their resumes. I

agreed and quickly fell into a job I was good at doing.

It was a few months into this set up when I realized that I really had no passion for me-dia design. But I had a real passion for work-

ing with my resumeclients.

I spoke with a fewkey people and madethe decision to changemy career path. BCITwas amazing and letme change my pro-gram.

I became a partnerof the company andspent the next 10 yearstaking courses in Ca-reer Development andInstruction. Since thenmy work has become acareer that I love andam active in develop-ing.

So what about thosecourses I took at BCITin media. Well it turnsout they have come invery handy wheneverwe need to promoteideas, do market-ing and advertising.Learning is never re-ally wasted.

Eight to 12 year olds look-ing to get an early start on their hoops skills should consider Friday Night Basketball this November. The four one-hour sessions will be coached by two women who had successful high school and college careers in the sport.

Mandy Arbuckle is the assis-tant manager of the Hope and District’s Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services. Jaclyn McNicol was raised in Hope and is now a rec centre staff member.

McNicol graduated from Hope Secondary in 2009 and went on to Columbia Bible Col-lege, where she was a shooting guard and team captain for the Bearcats. She is now pursuing a degree in kinesiology at UFV, commuting from Hope.

Arbuckle started out in Ed-monton, but took the long route before arriving in Hope about six months ago.

“I played high school ball in Edmonton, at McNally High School,” she said. “But I gradu-ated from the Dharhan Acad-emy High School in Saudi Arabia. My dad was in the oil industry.

“That was probably the best basketball I’ve played,” she contended. “I practiced with the boy’s high school team and played in a men’s rec league, as well as on the school’s girls’ team.”

Arbuckle also got started in coaching in Saudi Arabia, in-structing girls’ basketball and volleyball.

After a year of playing post for Calgary’s Mount Royal Col-lege, she coached basketball at the Edmonton Christian Acad-emy, before earning a degree in tourism management and entrepreneurship at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops.

McNicol and Arbuckle intend to key on basic basketball skills in these introductory sessions.

“It comes down to the funda-mentals. How to shoot and how to dribble,” said McNicol, who hopes to become a sports psy-chologist. “I’d also like to know what they’re thinking.”

“I’m really looking forward to

it,” added Arbuckle. “I haven’t worked with that age group for quite a while.

“We’ll be having drills to work on their dribbling, pass-

ing, shooting and choosing a pivot foot. Our scrimmages will likely be half-court.

“It would be nice to have 10 kids signed up but even eight

would work,” said Arbuckle. “More than 10 would be great.”

Cost for the four sessions is $30 and registration takes place at the rec centre’s reception

desk. While you’re there, pick up a fall program guide to see the wide range of courses and activities offered through the centre.

Basketball sessions planned in November

Hope and District’s Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services assistant manager Mandy Arbuckle and fellow rec centre staffer Jaclyn McNicol will be hosting Friday Night Basketball this November, for boys and girls aged eight to 12.
