New water system in Boston Bar Boil advisory is finally over after more than two decades Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
For the first time in over 20 years, Boston Bar residents have access to clean, safe drinking water. A new integrated water system and treatment facility officially opened last Thursday, ending a long-standing boil advisory in the community.
“It’s a wonderful system,” said area director Lloyd Forman. “We have been a depressed area since the mill closure and this is probably the first bright spot we’ve had in the last five, six years. We’re sort of hoping this is a stepping stone towards better things.” The Boston Bar treatment facility was designed similar to the one in North Bend and integrates seven separate drinking water sys-
tems into one. Water travels through a pressure sand filter to remove large particles before passing through a series of cartridge filters, which are changed about every three days. It is then disinfected by UV reactors and low levels of chlorine prior to entering the 465 cubic metre reservoir. The entire system flows by gravity from the intake at
One and One Quarter Mile Creek, through the plant, into the reservoir, and then to the distribution system through a pressure reducing valve. There is also an extensive computer control system in place to allow the FVRD to check the status and make adjustments remotely at anytime from anywhere in the region via computer or smartContinued on 3

Shell Canada has now applied for a demolition permit for its property in downtown Hope. The former gas station on the corner of Water Avenue and Wallace Street has been sitting vacant and gated off for months. “As soon as that (permit) goes through, the building will be coming down,” said company spokesperson Verity Conrad, adding that Shell Canada is currently in the process of getting the utilities disconnected. “There’s definitely tangible headway being made with it. There’s so many different processes and procedures that we need to go through to make sure that we’re doing all of the work that we need to do in the most thorough way possible.” Shell Canada plans to fully decommission the site and complete the required environmental assessment and remediation work in accordance with Ministry of Environment regulations. The type of testing needed is generally determined by the makeup of the site and soil. “Generally with sites of this age there can be legacy issues,” said Conrad, noting that a gas station has been operating on

We want to make sure our impact to the community is as minimal as possible.” The district is working closely with Shell Canada to ensure the decommissioning process moves forward. The initial plan
for site demolition was set for 2013. “We’re very happy if Shell expedites the process because this is a gateway property that we’d like to see form a key part of the attractive facade that Hope wishes to give to the public as it reflects our community,” said John Fortoloczky, chief administrative officer.

Police bust Silver Creek grow-op Over 1,100 nearly mature marijuana plants seized

Hope RCMP shut down a marijuana grow operation in Silver Creek Thursday.
Hope RCMP has shut down a marijuana grow operation in an unoccupied house in Silver Creek. After being alerted by BC Hydro about suspected hydro theft, members of the Chilliwack RCMP Crime Reduction Unit, Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team and police dog service assisted Hope RCMP with the execution of a search warrant in the 6100 block of Yale Road on Thursday. Upon arrival, police found marijuana growing inside the basement and an exterior modular building. Police seized 1,122 nearly mature plants worth a street value of approximately $200,000, 31 lights with 1,000 watt bulbs, a hydro bypass and other grow-op equipment. “It wasn’t a very sophisticated grow in the sense that it wasn’t as put together as what we’ve seen in other organized grow-ops,” said Staff Sgt. Suki Manj. “It appeared this wasn’t a place that was being lived in on a full-time basis.” Police do not have any suspects at this time. Anyone with information is asked to contact Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Water from the old systems wasn’t treated and didn’t meet health requirements. Adequate fire protection was also not possible in the past due to low water pressure and the lack of reservoirs. Over 2,750 metres of new water mains and fire hydrants were installed during the upgrade. The FVRD received

two-thirds funding for project from the Canada/British Columbia Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund and provincial Towns for Tomorrow Program. The $1.8 million grant contributions, along with the support of the Boston Bar First Nations, allowed the FVRD to undertake the $2.5 million water system upgrade. “Our government recognizes that investments in infrastructure, like this new integrated water treatment facility, play an important role in strengthening our communities and economy,” said MP Mark Strahl. “This project has stimulated the local economy during its completion and will continue to grow economic growth by providing reliable, modern infrastructure.”

Lots of action at Summer Smash
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
A record 18 mini stock cars participated in Summer Smash last weekend. “It’s grown fast,” said event co-organizer Scott Medlock. “Those are the best cars because they’re fairly inexpensive to get into, they last for years and they’re not hardhitting.” The eighth annual Summer Smash at Hope Sportsbowl featured high speeds, flying trucks, crushed steel, rollovers and lots of mud. In addition to the mini stock races, there were 27 entries in the 4x4 competition, and 18 cars and trucks in the demolition derbies. Event winners received a total of $5,300 in cash prizes. “It was great,” said Medlock. “I think we kept things moving and kept the crowd entertained for the whole day. We’re getting better as we go.” Swampwater also kept the crowd dancing on Saturday night with three sets of classic rock music. 4x4 races: Long Box 1st - Dusty Smith 2nd - Troy Murphy 3rd - Eron Couch Short Box 1st - Fred Laramee 2nd - Dave Lasser 3rd - Cam Friesen Bobtail 1st - Jeff Cole 2nd - Jaime Darby 3rd - Pat Kirksey Competition Modified: 1st - Steve Duke 2nd - Matt Nieman 3rd - Rob Dufault 2wd/Buggy 1st - Brent England 2nd - Jim Jensen 3rd - Rob Bouchard UTV 1st - Marian Bouchard

Opinion
Housing costs changing Housing sales are steady in the Fraser Valley, even as they seem to be in a bit more of a decline in Metro Vancouver. That’s the story of June real estate sales from the two real estate boards — Fraser Valley, which covers Hope, and Greater Vancouver. Declines in sales activity and prices are more marked in Greater Vancouver, but as neighbourhoods and Lower Mainland cities are so different, it is hard to paint with too broad a brush. However, there are a few basic trends which seem to be emerging. One is that, despite low interest rates, people seem to be unwilling to pay any more for housing. Prices have been going up and up for the past decade, and are now at the point where many working people simply can’t afford to buy. Another trend is an inability to qualify for a mortgage. The federal government has tightened up the amortization period for homes requiring Canada Mortgage and Housing mortgage insurance — it is now 25 years. Even with low interest rates, that means bigger monthly payments. When prices are high, and most people aren’t seeing wage increases, that means some people simply can’t get into the market. A third trend is more intangible, but nonetheless valid. People have a sense that the economy isn’t doing nearly as well as it could, and even positive economic news does not entice them to go out and borrow a great deal of money. It should be the goal of governments at all levels to make home ownership as easy as possible for as many people as possible. People who own their homes have a real and tangible stake in their community, and this in turns fosters a better sense of community and more involvement with others. If lower prices help more people to eventually buy homes, that’s a good thing. -Black Press
Hitting the information highway B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher By the time you read this I should be in Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., to visit relatives. Born in the Okanagan, raised in the Peace country and working for 20 years in Metro Vancouver, I’ve driven from one end of the province to the other more times than I can count. A similar trip last year began just as a huge mudslide was cleared near Chilliwack. Other drives have featured mid-summer hail piled 10 centimetres deep on the Coquihalla, a near miss between two moose in the Pine Pass, plus the usual blizzards and hundreds of traffic jams for construction, accidents and growing urban volume delays.

This time I’ve got a new tool on board, the mobile version of DriveBC.ca on my BlackBerry. Launched two years, ago, the mobile site has taken off with the surging popularity of smartphones. In the past year, DriveBC’s online traffic averaged 1.2 million visits a month, about half to the five-year-old desktop site and half from mobile users. It’s by far the most popular B.C. government website. I asked DriveBC technical leader Nainesh Agarwal for these stats, and he said even he was surprised by the surge in mobile traffic in recent months. But trying out the mobile site, it’s easy to see the appeal. With a few clicks, the phone displays incident reports and web camera images for my chosen route.

old-fashioned option. Dialing 5-1-1 anywhere in the province gives access to a toll-free line that connects to recorded DriveBC messages. Agarwal said use of that service has been declining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so drivers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving. The 5-1-1 system still gets surges of heavy use during major events like the recent flooding. The plan is to upgrade the system to allow voice recognition, so drivers can use headsets to get updates on the move.

Letters Businesses shouldn’t be guilted into donating community events, fundraisers for schools in Africa ... the list goes on. What bothers me about this organization is a belief somewhere in their board membership they feel that they are entitled to donations. No one is entitled to anything. You earn the donation. You earn it by being respectful to the businesses you are canvassing and not threatening them with spreading false statements about them because you didn’t receive a donation. When you do receive a donation, no matter how small it is, you earn it with a gesture of thanks — not trying to guilt them
to give you something more. You do not earn it by putting a letter into the newspaper saying it is the business’ fault they can’t donate to your cause. And you certainly do not guilt them in that same letter by saying 49 out of 50 businesses donated from the heart. What kind of moral precedent are you trying to set here? Please read the second sentence in the second paragraph of this letter again. Do the math, and then come to my store and tell me face-to-face that I am obligated to donate to your cause. The businesses in Hope are ex-
tremely generous with the amount of money and goods we give up to support local charities, groups et al. Without that support, you wouldn’t see Brigade Days, Strongman competitions, chainsaw carving competitions, and Flight Fest to name a few. I would hope in the future you realize the sacrifice it takes for businesses to give up services or product, and also understand that while we strive to support all, we can’t do it all the time. Glen Ogren, Hope Brewing Co.
Local grad venue is almost nonexistent
Driveway safety needed
Re: Disappointed by grad celebration, Letters (June 20) As a parent of a 2012 Hope Secondary School graduate, I felt compelled to write a letter in response to the concerns over the prom taking place out of Hope. First of all, the grads and their parents greatly appreciate the financial and moral support they’ve received from the community of Hope. They say it takes a village to raise a child and Hope is no exception. So having said that, the debate that took place over the choice of venue was not an easy one. Options for holding the prom, dinner and dance were far and few between. A venue to hold close to 400 people in Hope is almost nonexistent. The only three options are the high school gym, curling rink,
I live on Fifth Avenue, the same block as the Buy & Save, and I see many parents going to and fro with their children. The children all have helmets for which I commend every parent. Parents are telling their young children with bikes to stop at the corner and wait for them to catch up; this too is commendable. Beside my house is an apartment block with a driveway which starts immediately at the end of my property and is about 12 feet wide. Parents are not teaching their children to look both ways before entering the driveway. Although there have been no accidents as yet, I would like parents to be aware of this. Shannon Page
and the arena. Had one of these venues been selected, we now have the problem of decorating, catering, music and security. There are no stores in town that you are able to buy enough decorations to turn these plain venues into a magical prom experience for our kids. There are no businesses that are able to cater a formal dinner for 400 people, which would include supplying 400 sets of plates, cutlery, glasses, and linens along with seating. After the dinner there is dancing, upon researching DJ’s in Hope we found none listed. By holding the prom in Harrison, we also solved the problem of having uninvited local teens showing up. As unfortunate as it is, the lack of businesses in Hope are not able to provide our kids with the type
Chairs still missing We are a fraternal organization that donates to local charities. We have a small smoking room where we kept extra stacking wooden chairs. Recently some were stolen so we put some more in there and left it open for the public to use it. Now, however, over 50 chairs were stolen and we have no choice but to lock it up at nights. If you happen to see a pile of wooden stacking chairs please contact anyone at the Eagles and we will be happy to go and pick them up. Herb Smith President, F.O.E. 2690
Thanks for the support I would like to again thank all of the businesses, merchants, and residents for all of the donations given for the Hope Station House silent auction. I would also like to thank the lady at the lake who gave several paintings and stuffed animals. Thanks again! Ron Bennett, Vice-president, Hope Station House
of prom that we feel they deserve. All of the grads also needed to shop out of town for their tuxedos and dresses. At some point in time, all of these businesses existed in Hope. The businesses in Hope are fantastic at supporting any group or cause that comes their way and go above and beyond what is requested of them. Perhaps instead of directing your concerns at the grads, parents and school, we should all be responsible to ensure that our town has the type of businesses that we can all support for whatever event or function happens in our lives. I would also like to add that Harrison Hot Springs is included in the Fraser-Cascade school district. Pauline Svensrud

Re: Fundraiser was a success, Letters (July 11) It is with a great deal of reservation that I write this letter regarding certain practices from a organization in this town. I have owned my company for almost three years now. A week very rarely goes by when I am not asked by some community organization to help support or donate to a cause they have undertaken. I am often amazed at the variety of causes there are — grief camps for children experiencing the loss of a loved one, auctions for volunteer fire halls,

Thunderbird offers new program Hope Standard
A new emergency shelter has opened at the Thunderbird. The program offers homeless people refuge from the streets, food, a case worker, and access to community referral services. “We’re able to help people regroup,” said Paul Keller, homeless program coordinator. “Typically with someone on the street, they’re imbedded in a street culture. It takes a transition period and it can be lengthy. Shelter is the first step for someone to transition into housing.” The newly-renovated space has a common area, kitchen, two bathrooms, and separate bedrooms for men and women, each with two beds. There’s no smoking, drinking, drug usage or guests permitted. The moderate-barrier shelter doesn’t have 24-hour staffing, but cameras are installed throughout the unit. Keller said clients need to have a “certain functioning level” and be willing to identify their challenges. “We’ll work with people for as long as it takes, as long as they’re working towards the same goal,” said Keller, adding that clients do have access to group programs at the Thunderbird. “Typically it is our local homeless population that we’ll be bringing into this shelter and working with them to get them off the street or out of that couch surfing pattern they’ve been into for years.” Anyone interested in staying

Richard Watson, right, was one of the first clients to use the new Thunderbird emergency shelter program, which is coordinated by Paul Keller and the Hope & Area Transition Society.
at the shelter must meet with an outreach worker for an initial assessment to determine if they fulfill the mandate of the program. Keller said it’s not geared towards people who are travelling through Hope or are broken down on the highway for a night. Richard Watson was one of the first shelter clients and has since chosen to become a permanent Thunderbird resident. “The emergency shelter gave me the time it took to decide whether I was going to feel comfortable in one of these units,” he said “If I’m going to stop drinking this will be the place I’ll do it. Everybody around here basically has the same problems - we all have our addictions. Because we all understand each other, it’s so much easier.”
Watson has battled with alcohol for over 50 years and experienced his first blackout when he was 12 years old. His mother died in a car accident when he was a baby and his step-mother was physically, mentally and sexually abusive, all of which he considers contributing factors to his drinking problem. “The more you drink the more you want to drink,” said Watson. “It’s a progressive thing.” His lifestyle eventually led him down a criminal path. Watson served five-and-a-half years in prison for shooting a security guard during an armed robbery. In 2008, he decided to sober up and pursue a relationship with his daughter. He rented an apartment in Vancouver for the first time in 15 years.
“I chose to be homeless because I liked living outside,” he said. “But I missed my daughter’s entire life and I wasn’t going to miss my grandchildren’s life. So I started the journey, but it’s a hard, long road.” Watson moved into his daughter’s basement suite last year to be closer with family, but after three months ended up on another binge. When he wouldn’t stop drinking, his daughter kicked him out. Before ending up in Hope to go camping, Watson attended the Union Gospel Mission treatment centre for a short time. He left because the program was too constrictive. Watson is now looking forward to painting again and visiting with his family this summer. His story will be featured in an upcoming video for the Hope & Area Transition Society, as part of a new web series created by Brodi-Jo Scalise. The Capilano University film student launched the project in June to give people an inside look at the people who live and work at the Thunderbird. Each video is about 10 minutes long. “A lot of people have stereotypes about the type of people there and the behaviour they’re into,” said Scalise. “I wanted to tell some of their stories because I think they need to be heard. Maybe they can dispel some of the myths surrounding homelessness.” Visit hopetransition.org for more information on the web videos.

Diversify your business Sunshine Lanes is now hosting Greyhound service in Hope. Bus service is critical to a small town’s economy for many reasons, including competition for freight and affordable transportation in the absence of public transit. Since Greyhound ceased operations at the Midtown Laundromat, they have been searching for another local partner. Sunshine Lanes’ Drew Paton identified the opportunity and has a location well-suited to the bus line’s needs. Here are highlights from a recent conversation with Drew. AdvantageHOPE (AH): What first attracted you to Hope in 2010? Drew Paton (DP): A chance meeting with the current landowner at a golf game in Surrey. My career has always been in hospitality, and I always wanted to run my own business, so this seemed like a great opportunity. AH: What do you see as a current advantage of doing business or investing in Hope? DP: The same advantages I saw when I first moved here: massive potential for growth at the junction of five highways. Shipping is easy from here, and taxes are low compared to the big cities in the Lower Mainland. AH: Diversification is often the key to success in smaller markets, can you describe how you have diversified your business since you took over Sunshine Lanes in 2010?

There are many places in the Hope and Canyon region where you can take a hike — but walking on a path that is dripping in historical significance is a special experience that can leave you both physically and mentally... and maybe even spiritually invigorated. The old Alexandra Bridge, a five minute drive north of Spuzzum, is one of the Fraser Canyon’s historic jewels and it’s easily accessible on a gently inclined walk that takes about 10 to 15 minutes each way. Your first glimpse of the old bridge will be when you cross on the ‘new’ (1964) span and look upstream a few kilometres to the old suspension bridge that carried vehicles from 1926 until the new span opened. Look for the parking lot on the river side of the road and turn in when safe to do so. At the north end of the parking lot, you’ll see the old road sloping into the forest, or pick up the road by taking a trail down from the pit toilets. Cross the railway tracks with care and continue on to the bridge. I recall traveling in the canyon with my parents and siblings in 1962, on our way to Barkerville to visit my Uncle Jack, who was working a placer gold claim there. We crossed the old bridge and I remember many delays on the road, due to the massive construction that was converting the treacherous 1920s Cariboo Highway into the modern highway we enjoy today. A full 100 years before that, the first suspension bridge (torn down in 1912) was being constructed at the narrowing in the gorge, under the direction of Joseph Trutch, the commissioner of public works for the colony of British Columbia. This would be a key link in the Cariboo Wagon Road, from Yale to Barkerville. Trutch named the span after Princess Alexandra of Wales, the great grandmother of Queen Elizabeth. This was some 20 years before the CPR brought the railway through the canyon, linking British Columbia with the rest of Canada. These were infancy days of our province but these were old lands for the local Nlaka’pamux First Nation, which had villages on both sides of the river. Lands on the west end of the bridge are now reserved for First Nations use. The provincial government established the Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park in 1984 and it is a popular rest stop and day use area in the non-winter months — but Kelly Pearce and other outdoors-oriented people would like to see improvements at
for more rest stops and places to stay,” he adds, “and this parking lot is barricaded in late September and reopened in May. It certainly should be expanded to at least eight months — and preferably year-round. “This is one of the few places where you can safely access the Fraser River in the canyon,” says Pearce. “It’s awe-inspiring to see the force of the water in spring run-off.” When you reach the entrance to the bridge, take a look over the edge at the foundations under the concrete towers. That is 1861 stone work — so tight and well done that the 1926 concrete was poured onto the old foundations. The new deck was constructed much higher than the original Trutch bridge, as the 1894 flood taught engineers a lesson. “That was a one-in-200-year flood, and it significantly damaged the wooden deck,” says Pearce. “By that time, the CPR had built the railway, so the wagon road became redundant. “By the 1920s, motorists were clamouring for places to drive, so there was a big push for governments to open up roads,” explains Pearce. Once again, a bridge crossing at Alexandra was vital. There was a cost though: tolls started at $1, according to historian Michael Kluckner. The second span served the province for nearly 40 years, though one look at the narrow deck and its approaches will tell you how much of a bottleneck the bridge would cause in modern times. A new solution was needed — and the ‘new’ span downstream has already given more years of service to motorists than its predecessor. A few notes before you step out on the deck of the old bridge: it’s safe for cyclists and pedestrians — but don’t look down if you’re afraid of heights, or have vertigo. This is a see-through deck, made of metal mesh, and it’s one of the bridge’s big attractions. Imagine the whining sound that tires made when vehicles crossed the bridge. Many people are passionate about the importance of saving the old Alexandra span, which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. Rusting cables and alkali silica reactivity in the concrete are concerns that need to be addressed. “The bridge played such a key role in B.C.’s early history. We can’t afford to lose this gem,” Pearce says. Next week, join us for an equally historic hike: the definitely not wheelchair-accessible Tikwalus Trail.

OBITUARIES
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Arthur Ryan at Kelowna General Hospital. Dad is survived by his loving wife Lillian. They had been married for 66 years. He was a loving father to Jack (Alana) and Jim (Donna) and grandchildren Shawna (Brodie), Marshall, Todd (Tina), Chad and Nathan. Dad loved the visits from his family. His joking would always bring a smile to his face even when he sometimes carried things a little too far. He loved to golf and played until he was 89. We were all very fortunate to have his long life, love, wisdom and guidance. We will all miss him very much. Art and Lillian lived in Hope for 54 years and moved to Lakeshore Place Retirement Centre in Kelowna in 2006. Dad was a WWII veteran, a member of the Legion, Past Master of the Mount Hope Masonic Lodge and Past President of the Hope Rotary Club. No service at this time, internment to follow in Hope at a later date. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting w w w. s p r i n g f i e l d f u n e r a l home.com, 250-860-7077.
