Bear Aware goes regional FVRD behind educational program
CAR DEAD LIFT TIRE FLIP DUMBELL PRESS
The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) has announced the existence of a new regional Bear Aware program. Bear Aware teaches residents how to manage and reduce bear attractants, and reduces the opportunity for human-bear conflicts. In 2011, Mission initiated a program and significantly raised awareness regarding the proper storage of waste materials. Based on last year’s success the FVRD has decided to introduce the program regionally. “This is a great opportunity for the regional district to assist communities in providing a

unified message regarding bears, their behavior and providing the public
with educational information to reduce bear/ people conflicts,” said
Sharon Gaetz, Chair, FVRD. Lydia Koots, Chair of the Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee, will provide residents in Hope with educational information to assist in the reduction of bear/ people conflicts. Annually, hundreds of bears are destroyed in B.C., as a result of people not managing attractants properly. Bears that become conditioned to human food often end up posing a threat to human safety and are destroyed. All bear sightings should be reported to the provincial RAPP line: 1-877-952-7277.

He also noted that a majority of the Silver Skagit Road area lies outside of Hope’s boundaries. Hope RCMP Staff Sgt.

Flood fears decline with water Officials ‘cautiously optimistic’ that danger nearing an end
Kevin Mills Black Press
The water on the Fraser River reached its peak in Hope on Monday and officials are now “cautiously optimistic” that flooding worries can soon be put to rest. The water level hit 8.84 metres at the Fraser Bridge on Monday morning with a discharge level (volume of water) of 10,000 cubic metres per second. “We know what that looks like, it’s happened before,” said Hope fire chief Tom DeSorcy who also holds the title of emergency preparedness coordinator. “At this point we are keeping an eye on things, but we are not expecting any major flooding.”
After hitting its peak Monday, the water began to go down, a trend that is expected to continue. DeSorcy said the water levels in Prince George are declining and “what happens in Prince George happens here.” But that doesn’t mean officials are letting down their guard. DeSorcy said that no one has declared the spring freshet over. “We’ll never say all is well, but we aren’t expecting anything either,” he said.” He wants to stay prepared for the unexpected. “The river can always make things go sideways.” But the 8.84 metre water level is not a concern he said.

Melissa said she is always looking for other locations. She has already considered going to the downtown farmer’s market and may travel to the Yale flea market in the summer months. “After all we are a mobile business.” Since the return, several old customers have rediscovered the chuck Wagon and Melissa said they are building up a clientele of new diners. While keen to expand, the Chuck Wagon is currently open four days a week. She said the goal is to build up enough business to remain open year round. But Melissa doesn’t plan to expand outside of the area. “We want to be able to keep it local.”

sive flights from Valley Helicopters, Gravity Sports Intro Tandem Hang Gliding and Vancouver Soaring Association (gliders). Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) Flights For Kids contest winners can enjoy a free flight. “We have 70 kids who have entered so far,” said Heather Peters, president of the Hope Flight Fest. She said at the present time, they can accommodate about 44 kids for flights. She is now looking for more certified COPA pilots willing to volunteer their time at the festival so more kids can experience flight. “This is the most entries we’ve ever had. Last year we had 30,” said Peters.
The 2012 Hope Flight Fest is set for June 16 at the airport.
While there is a lot of excitement surrounding the annual event, organizers were forced to downsize the 2012 celebration. “Normally we’ve had a lot more activities for the children and more vendors,” said Peters. However, a lack of funding and a lack of volunteers made plan-
ning difficult. “We decided we were just going to concentrate on being able to offer the public flight affordably.” But there is still plenty to do. New this year is the Radical Raptors show from the Greater Vancouver Zoo in Aldergrove.
“They will be doing their demonstration with birds of prey.” The birds will be on site all day with a special show at noon. There will also be a booth set up for people to get their photo taken with the birds of prey. Other family-friendly activities include a Rotary Pancake Breakfast at 7:30 a.m., the Cooper’s Barbecue from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the Canadian Museum of Flight and a golf ball drop contest at 3 p.m. The golf ball drop consists of numbered golf balls dumped from the air. The ball closest to a marker wins. Entry into the Flight Fest is free. For more information please visit hopeflightfest.ca.

An estimated crowd of 300 people came to the Yale Historic Site on Sunday for the annual Strawberry Tea. “That’s over 100 more than last year,” said Deb Zervini, site supervisor. The annual event featured gold panning, black powder demonstrations, food, games, music and even a candy cannon. “It’s a family-friendly event.” Zervini said the high number of visitors is encouraging, but it also means that more volunteers will be needed at next year’s event. “We were running around like crazy this time,” she said. The event, which was supposed to end at 4 p.m., still had guests and entertainment going long after five. Zervini said the number of displays, like the interest, just keeps growing.

Opinion Watch interest rates The real estate industry can breathe a sigh of relief, as can many homeowners. The Bank of Canada said last week that interest rate increases aren’t likely any time soon, given the economic uncertainty in Europe and many challenging economic situations across the world. In that environment, an interest rate increase will just cause more trouble. Nonetheless, homeowners with large mortgages would be wise to try to lock in low rates for as long as possible and, at the same time, do all they can to reduce their total debt. Interest rates will not stay this low forever, just as they didn’t stay at 20 per cent in the early 1980s. Those high rates had a lot to do with the last significant housing price correction in the Lower Mainland. At that time, some people simply walked away from their homes. It was a situation very similar to that in many U.S. cities in the past four years. Here, the housing market has been very stable since the late 1980s. Prices fluctuated in the 1990s, but for the most part they have been on a steady upward trajectory. In recent years, prices have jumped to levels where many people are having difficulty buying a home. This is particularly true of single-family homes. Only low interest rates have kept many people in the market. Interest rates also have other effects, on retired people on fixed incomes. Low interest rates cut deeply into their purchasing power, as they are dependent on investment income for at least part of their income. A long period of low interest rates, as we have seen, can wreak havoc on pension plans. It all makes for many challenging situations. Saving is of limited benefit, but so is borrowing too much. The best approach is to keep expenses under control and pay close attention to interest rates. – Black Press
Goodbye greenhouse gas goals B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher In February, this column asked the question: “Are B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets history?” The answer is contained in a new draft plan from BC Hydro on how to meet future power demand. And while it’s not explicitly stated, the answer is yes. The draft plan was released in May for discussion purposes, but so far there hasn’t been much discussion. This is surprising given some of the recommendations, such as firing up the Burrard Thermal natural gas power plant more often, and buying fossil fuel power from the North American market to keep up to demand. The plan confirms a few things

that have been evident for a while. Dreams of exporting B.C. hydroelectric power are gone for the foreseeable future. And with mining ramping up along with natural gas development and population growth, BC Hydro now projects electricity demand could rise by 50 per cent over the next 20 years. The emergence of huge shale gas sources in B.C. and across the United States has changed the North American energy picture dramatically, as U.S. electricity producers replace coal by burning cheaper and cleaner gas to ramp up power production. B.C. is losing gas market share in the U.S. – its only export customer for heating fuel and electricity use. Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as
Box 1090 Hope, B.C. VOX 1LO
planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up considerably by 2020. Premier Christy Clark has a new target for 2020: three liquefied natural gas production lines feeding high-pressure tankers at Kitimat, for export to Asia.
“If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up considerably by 2020. Not only will B.C. need to buy gas-fired power from outside the province to keep up to industrial and residential demand, but the natural gas industry will need its own new gas-fired electricity to produce LNG for export. Natural gas passed forestry as B.C.’s top resource revenue source
Standard
many years ago. In 2005, the volatile gas price spiked up and produced $1 billion in windfall profits that allowed the B.C. government to buy a rare period of public sector labour peace through the 2010 Olympics. Now a glut of shale gas has pushed the North American price down from its historic range of $4 to $6 per thousand cubic feet to about $2.40. Despite that low price, gas producers in B.C. are going flat out to develop the Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeast B.C. I asked David Pryce, vice-president of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, why so much gas is being developed now. He said producers have made huge investments in B.C. shale gas drilling rights, and are in an international race to supply LNG to Asian countries where the price is currently four times

higher than in North America. Whatever the domestic price, B.C. gas producers have to show LNG investors such as Mitsubishi and Korea Gas that they can fill a steady procession of LNG tankers at a competitive rate. If LNG doesn’t fly here, B.C.’s gas export market soon evaporates. Currently, gas producers pay about $400 million a year in royalties, and that much again to buy up shale gas drilling rights. The industry already employs about 12,000 workers in B.C. The B.C. government has little choice but to redefine its climate targets. Instead of cutting domestic emissions, it will try to take credit for displacing coal power in Asia. Fortunately, B.C.’s main coal exports are for high-grade coal used in steel-making.

Letters Right-wing split a ‘fallacy’ tive manner. I could not believe what I was reading when many media writers explained Gwen’s victory as a result of the so-called “right-wing split”. Many even went so far as to state that if there had not been a Conservative candidate that the Liberals would have won. Such nonsensical statements ignore the hard reality of what has occurred in this area over the past three years and give no credence at all to the intelligence of the electorate. I was personally involved in all three of Gwen’s campaigns over the past three years. I was her campaign manager in 2009 and in 2011 and played a major role in this more recent byelection win. I know for a fact that there were at least three powerful reasons why Gwen won, reasons that had nothing to do with the “right-wing split.”
Make it stop Most British Columbians are indifferent to Premier Clark’s disaster-inthe-making descent in the polls. However you would expect those backroom BC Liberal power brokers, who manipulated her ascension to the leadership of the party and the province for their own selfish reasons, would show some compassion in her hour of need. You would think those doctors of spin would give her the one thing she really needs – a golden parachute and a plausible excuse for using it. Stay tuned, those manipulative masters may be working on such a plan at this moment. Christy Clark has suffered enough. Somebody should make it stop. Lloyd Atkins
First, Gwen has been a “canvassing machine” in three successive elections. She has personally knocked on over 30,000 doors since early 2009. I know, because I either accompanied her on most of those visits and/or personally planned every single canvassing effort. Gwen was and is very able at the door and has the unique ability to get her message across quickly. People sense that she is a conscientious person, one really worth electing. Secondly, this recent by-election brought to the local NDP a well-organized campaign like never seen before. There were several hundred volunteers who came out to ensure that the voters were contacted and our positive message was put forth. While the Liberals ran on a negative, attack campaign, the NDP message of a positive alternative resonated. Thirdly, for the first time
in history, the NDP matched the opposition financially. In the past, we often had to run a campaign on 10 per cent or so of what the BC Liberals had. For once, the NDP was on an equal par in these areas and our efforts paid off. For any person to suggest that the Liberals would have won this by-election if there had not been a Conservative candidate is pure nonsense. I asked many of our canvassers what the issues were that they heard at the door. The constant refrain heard was an urgent need to get rid of the Liberals. It is very obvious that, if there had not been a Conservative candidate, the vast majority of the 25 per cent who voted Conservative would have either stayed home or voted for Gwen O’Mahony. So, please, let’s put this fallacy to bed forever. Dick Harrington

Vets deserve better MP Mark Strahl likes to say that the Conservative Party supports our troops. The facts say otherwise. The Conservatives are cutting posttraumatic stress and suicide prevention programs for soldiers returning from Afghanistan, even though suicide rates doubled last year. All told, they are chopping over $200 million from Veterans Affairs, including cuts to The Last Post Fund, which helps low-income veterans get a proper burial. It took a six-year battle in our courts to shame them into not clawing back the pensions of our disabled veterans. They have also repeatedly been caught snooping through the personal medical records of veterans advocates to find embarrassing details that can be used to intimidate them into silence. Harold Leduc,
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
LAST WEEK WE ASKED:
Are you concerned about the dumping of garbage in forested areas?
Do you feel that police bike patrols will be effective in Hope this summer?
To answer, go to the home page of our website: www.hopestandard.com
Here’s how you responded:
Yes 85% No 15%
Denis Manuge, Sylvain Chartrand and Sean Bruyea have all suffered from this disgusting behaviour. Mr. Strahl needs to learn that supporting our troops means giving them real respect. It means providing mental health support to cope with the horrors of war. It means refusing to nickel-and-dime veterans whose service has left them disabled. It means respecting the privacy of their medical records. We make a promise to our men and women in uniform that, in exchange for their commitment and sacrifice, we will be there for them when they come home, to provide support to them and their families. Our veterans deserve better.

Every media outlet in southern B.C. has expressed surprise over the last few weeks over the by-election win in Chilliwack/ Hope by the NDP and specifically by Gwen O’ Mahony. Prior to the election of April 19, some political pundits were predicting a win by either the BC Liberals or by the BC Conservatives. Only a few were giving the NDP much chance. They based their assumptions on the fact that the NDP had never won before in the Chilliwack/Hope area. Such highly simplistic evaluations could be expected from political novices; however, one would expect a bit more thought from people who supposedly spend their lives in the political realm of BC politics. However; these mistaken predictions paled in comparison to many of the more recent explanations as to why Gwen O’Mahony won in such a posi-

BOSTON BAR Valedictorian Message by Brittany Langner: First off I would like to thank all of you for coming to celebrate this day of accomplishment with us.You’ve all been a major factor in helping us achieve what we have so far. High school has changed us, but that’s not to say that we won’t change any more. Our lives are just beginning, and now it’s time to lead our lives. As Dr. Seuss once wrote: “You have brains in your head You have feet in your shoes You can steer yourself in any direction you choose You’re on your own And you know what you know You are the guy who will decide where to go.” We’ve been through four years of school, many friends, and many heartbreaks. Even with all tough times, we’ve still shared so many memories and countless laughs. I know that the time I’ve spent here with you guys could never be duplicated and I wouldn’t want it any other way. And in case you’re wondering, I did the math. It’s been about 4,480 hours that we’ve spent in school over the last four years.You’d think that after all that time we’d be sick of each other, but I know that I’ll miss you both after this year is over. Upon first impressions, the three of us can easily be described as shy or quiet. Once you get to really know us though, it’s one of the last things you would call us. Arthur is one of the most dependable people I know in my life. Although he is a respectful and responsible person, quite often he can be caught locking someone out of Cheryl’s room, having fun joking around, or wresting in the hallway. Which just so happens to be the way he broke his collar bone two years ago. Chaz is one of those people who likes to be at the back of the room and out of the limelight. Even though he is quiet, his own brand of humour brings many laughs to our school and our classes, especially Grad Trans. Chaz can usually be found hiding out in Renee’s office. Chaz, Renee and myself have had many laughs there, I know that there are many more that I don’t know of. I can always rely on Chaz to bring a smile to my face no matter what were doing. While we were shopping for decorations, Chaz was the first one of us to start trying on the oversized glasses that made him look like an alien. Which I’m hoping you’ll get to see a picture of in the slideshow. I won’t say much about myself, but I’m basically the nerd of this group. I’m not scared to make a fool of myself, be it by admitting my love Pokemon, my Science Fiction books or saying the cheesiest lines you can think of. The three of us have known each other for a number of years now. Arthur and I have known each other since before pre-school, and Chaz joined us four years ago. Over the years we’ve developed great friendships with each other. I can honestly say that there’s no one else I’d like to celebrate our graduation with.There’s something unique about this school that you won’t find anywhere else. It’s not just that we know every student in this school and are friends with most or that almost every teacher in this school has taught us, or tried to herd us back to class, yelled at us for goofing around or told us to pull our headphones out. It’s all that and so much more. We still owe so much to the people in our school who have helped us out over the years. People like Renee, our secretary, who’s like a mom, a teacher, our friend and provides us with a place that we can also run to. We could never forget Pat Conway, who we know would be so proud of
Bursary list is as follows: Thelma Campbell Bursary: Brittany Langner and Arthur Davidson $100.00 Kathy Wheeler Bursary: Brittany Langner and Arthur Davidson $250.00 each Boston Bar/ North Bend Bursaries: Chaz Charlie, Arthur Davidson and Brittany Langner $1000.00 each

us if she could be here to celebrate with us today. Pat was someone that was always around whenever we needed help and always gave selflessly. People like Ms. Kneller who’s nagging is the reason why we get our work done. Who helps us finish our portfolio, helps us with our work outside of class, and accepting to be our guest speaker today. Mrs. Dekok, who for me has helped me with countless hours of math and who’s taught me that there is so much more than just school in the world. Every staff member in our school is amazing, and I wish that I could speak about all of you. Without you all, we wouldn’t be the people are today. Once again a huge thanks to all of you for coming. A big thank you to everyone that helped us transform our gym for our graduation, and to the teachers and staff that have helped us over the years.The biggest thank you that we owe is to our parents, guardians and our family for supporting, and teaching us all our lives. Although the school year is almost over, I know that the memories I’ve made here will never be forgotten. Even though we will be going off in different directions after the summer, we share a bond that no one else can have.Together we are the 2012 graduates of Boston Bar Elementary Secondary School.To you my fellow graduates, I wish the very best for you and hope that you make the most of life. Lastly, I’d like to give you a few words of advice, quoted by the great Miss Frizzle from the Magic School Bus, “Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!”

Boston Bar students head to Africa A group of dreamers from Boston Bar will take action to put those dreams into reality. On June 30. seven teens and six adults will embark on an epic adventure of a lifetime. “This trip is the final step in a four year odyssey,” said community trip leader, Michele Dekok. Four years ago, some elementary students and their teacher were motivated to change the world, they started with small activities to raise
awareness and funds. After two years they had fundraised the money to build an entire school in Sierra Leone. The group decided to travel to Africa and build another school themselves. The group will travel through Amsterdam to Nairobi where they will spend a night at Kolping House a former nunnery. The next day they travel on through the Great Rift Valley to Salabwek, a small community in the Masai Mara.
There they will live in a tent village and help the local people on a development project. They will take Swahili lessons, collect water from the watering hole and work the build site daily. They will also carry medical kits to donate to the community.
They are collecting zip lock bags filled with toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, wash cloth, first aid cream and band aids. If you would like to create and donate some kits contact Michele Dekok at micmcintosh@hotmail.com or call 604-869-1514.

Kids can explore, grow at camps From archery and wall climbing to swimming and hiking, activities help expand experiences Barry Stewart Hope Standard
BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD
Coquihalla Grade 4 student John Fay takes careful aim at the Camp Squeah archery range, last Friday. Camp Hope, Camp Squeah and Camp Kawkawa are gearing up for a summer of fun and challenging adventures and the kids of Hope are invited to take part.
aim to make our camp a safe place, for parents to take that step.” For those who need even more assurance, Tiessen said they can arrange for a visit to the camp, where staff can show them around. There’s also a family camp offered, from July 16 to 20, where the whole family can come for a shared adventure. All three camps are Christian faith-based, though the executives directors of Squeah and Kawkawa say they realize their clientele has been changing over the years. (Camp Hope’s director was unable to respond by press time.) “Being a Christian camp, we encourage exploration of
one’s faith — and to consider what our role is in regard to nature,” said Tiessen. “But we respect where people are coming from. We’re trending close to 50-50 for people with no church or faith back-
Wayne Stewart, of Camp Kawkawa concurred. “We probably have about 50 per cent of our campers who are not from a church background. “We still teach solid moral

principles — and anything religious that we present is done in the light of day. It’s important for people to
know that. We’re not a cult.” At one point, in 2005, there wasn’t a camp at all. Geotechnical concerns forced the camp to close in 2005, thirty-one years after it first opened. It remained closed for three years. Stewart said a generous donation by renowned geotechnician Frank Bowman gave the camp the green light to reopen in 2008. “Frank came out here on his own and walked the site and did a fly-over and he gave us a full geotechnical study that allowed us to reopen,” said Stewart, who has lived at the camp with his family since 2009. “It not only helped the

Most kids don’t have a good wall to climb in their homes, nor a safe place to shoot a bow and arrow. However, Hope has three outstanding camps right in its backyard which are open and waiting for kids to sign up for their summer programs that include archery, wall climbing, swimming, hiking and more. There’s Camp Hope, on Highway #7, Camp Squeah in Dogwood Valley and Camp Kawkawa, at Kawkawa Lake. Camp Squeah’s executive director Rob Tiessen emphasizes the safe refuge part of the camp’s mission statement. “Our focus has always been on safety,” said Tiessen on Monday. “Squeah is a safe place, where kids can be stretched to come out of their comfort zones. We want them to be able to walk away, more confident in their knowledge of who they are and what abilities they have.” Squeah is owned and operated by the Mennonite Church of B.C. and was started in 1962. “It’s our 50th anniversary, so we’re calling it our Golden Summer,” said Tiessen, who started working at the camp in 1995 and has been the executive director since 2006. Campers range in age from six to 16, with twonight camps offered for the youngest campers and up to month-long camps for teens who are interested in building their leadership skills. At the height of the summer season, Squeah can hold 102 campers and 55 to 65 summer staff, said Tiessen. “I’ve recently become aware of the term ‘helicopter parent,” said Tiessen. “More and more, parents are concerned about letting their kids go. There are so many fears out there — but it’s our
camp — but also the District of Hope, as the homeowners on Johnson Road couldn’t get insurance or sell their homes without the study. “Rita Lihaven was the driving force in getting the camp going again,” said Stewart, “but she succumbed to cancer just two weeks before it reopened.” Now, the camp can handle up to 80 campers, ranging from seven to 18 years old, with 40 staff to serve them. “We also have a work program, for age 13 and up, where kids can come and work in the kitchen or do maintenance,” said Stewart. “It’s helps them build a work ethic. They pay $75 to come and work for the week. The idea is to feed them into our staff for future years,” said Stewart. “It’s not all work ... they get to take part in the fun, too.” With the lake right there, water and boating activities abound — but Stewart is proud of some new landbased activities they have developed this year. “Kids these days are good at texting but they’re not so good at face-to-face interaction,” said Stewart. “They’re also not so good at tactile activities, so we’ve just finished building an outdoor pizza oven, where kids can build their own pizzas, slip them in and sit around the oven and talk while they bake.” On the nature front, there’s a 500 year old Douglas fir that towers near the boat dock and a 900 year old monster at the back of the property, said Stewart “We’re building a wheelchair-accessible trail to it. We’ll put deck chairs around the base of the tree, so people can lean back and look up at all the life that goes on in that old tree,” said Stewart. All three facilities have websites outlining dates, activities and fees, so check them out — and get camping.

NOTICE TO THE RESIDENTS OF SUNSHINE VALLEY RE: PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF RURAL AGENCY STORE The Liquor Distribution Branch invites community input on a request to establish a Rural Agency Store (RAS) at the Sunshine Valley RV Resort & Camping Cabins in the community of Sunshine Valley. The intent of a RAS is to provide liquor service in rural communities and tourist destination resorts, in order to give people in these communities better, more convenient access to beverage alcohol products. RAS’s are established in rural communities where it is too small to operate a Government Liquor Store. RAS’s will be established, where there is a suitable business i.e. an existing independently-owned full service general grocery store. Only one Rural Agency Store authorization in a community is permitted. Written comments will be accepted until July 13, 2012.
