Acorn murder trial underway

Vikki Hopes Black Press

On the night before Chelsey Acorn was reported missing in June 2005, she left an Abbotsford foster home with plans to meet up with a man named “James.” Her remains were found in a shallow grave by hikers near the Carolin Mines exit off the Coquihalla Highway outside of Hope on April 8, 2006. A witness testifying during the first day of the trial for Jesse Blue West – charged with the first-degree murder of Acorn – said that she had previously met “James,” who indicated that his real name was “Blue” and showed her his ID to prove it. “He’s a slime ball,” said Jenna Cole on Tuesday at B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack before the judge reminded her to reserve her personal opinions. Cole’s testimony was part of a voir dire (a trial within a trial) in response to defence counsel Brian Coleman’s

older than she. She said she last heard from Acorn on June 10, 2005, when the teen called to say she wanted to move in with her 19-year-old boyfriend, whom she identified only as “Dustin.” West and his son Dustin Moir, now 27, were charged with her murder the following year. West has been in custody ever since. Both went on trial in November 2009, but West’s proceedings were severed from Moir’s two months later. Moir was convicted in February 2010 and was sentenced to a life sentence with no parole eligibility for 15 years. During those proceedings, it was revealed that Acorn had been choked to death and buried naked in a shallow grave. Her skull had been crushed by a large rock. Stacey Laybolt, Acorn’s cousin said she wants people to focus on a key element of the case. “It’s about a 14-year-old girl whose life was taken abruptly without cause … We just want justice.”

Cyclists with the Sears National Kids Cancer Ride make their way down Third Avenue last Wednesday. The riders stopped in Memorial Park for a couple hours to have dinner and meet with local supporters before heading on to Kamloops. The annual event kicked off on Sept. 5 in Vancouver and ends in1 Halifax on Sept. 21.

Participating in the annual Terry Fox walk/run has become a family affair for the Enns family. Judy Enns, her daughter Tasha, and seven-year-old granddaughter Katerina Fisher will once again be lacing up their running shoes this Sunday for the local event. “It’s just nice to support each other and get out and do something together,” said Judy. “It’s also kind of nice seeing a wide generation of people out there supporting the cause.” The five-kilometre walk/run from the recreation centre kicks off at 9 a.m., with registration at 8:30. Participants will head down Kawkawa Lake Rd. towards the Trans Canada Trail and Kawkawa Lake area, before looping back to the recreation centre. “It’s a very nice route. It’s 45 minutes out of your day, out of your year,” said Tasha, who has been participating in the event since high school. “Terry Fox is my hero. Just his courageous battle, what he started out as and what he is now. It gives me a little bit of hope that there are good people trying to make a difference.” Thirty-one years ago Terry Fox embarked on his Marathon of Hope, dipping his prosthetic leg into the Atlantic Ocean in St.

Provincial government employees staged their largest one-day strike so far last Wednesday to press for a bigger wage increase, with two thirds of the workforce off the job at ministry offices, liquor stores and ICBC offices province-wide. Both the government and the B.C. Government and Services Employees’ Union remained unwilling to budge from their positions after negotiations broke down over wage increases this spring. The union executive is meeting next week to consider further strike action this fall. Two earlier one-day strikes targeted liquor warehouses and then selected resource ministry offices in the B.C. Interior. Government negotiators offered raises of two and 1.5 per cent for the next two years, then withdrew the offer after the union staged the first strike. BCGEU chief negotiator David Vipond said the wage offer has been tabled and withdrawn three times since talks began early this year, a tactic he called “peeka-boo bargaining.” And after three years without a wage increase, he said the union is sticking to its demand for 3.5 per cent in the first year and a cost-of-living raise of about 2.5 per cent in year two. “They want us to reduce our real income over this contract, and we’ve already taken a five-per-cent hit,” Vipond said in an interview. “So to try and chisel us again with a skinny deal doesn’t make sense to us. We want to at least keep up with inflation and gain a little of what we have lost.” Premier Christy Clark unveiled her new cabinet lineup in Victoria last Wednesday as BCGEU pickets circled government offices downtown. Both Clark and Mike de Jong, the new finance minister, said they have no intention of increasing the burden

on taxpayers to provide bigger raises to provincial workers. “The government’s position on this hasn’t changed,” Clark said. “I am not going back to taxpayers for more money in order to give government workers a raise.

We are in very tough economic times and we have to balance our budget.” The government estimates that the wage offer adds up to $1,700 more over two years for a BCGEU employee making $48,000 a year.

involving the Boston Bar RCMP and the Lower Mainland District Integrated Forensic Identification Services (IFIS), investigators were able to identify a suspect based on forensic evidence. Robert Leo Jones, 29, of Boston Bar was arrested on July 26 and charges of possession of stolen property under $5,000 and mischief to property under $5,000 were approved on Sept. 4.

“It is always very gratifying for investigators when we can call someone and tell them that we have recovered their property and made an arrest,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “It was good oldfashioned police work that led to charges being approved in this case. Jones will appear in court again on Sept. 18 and remains in custody as a result of breaching charges in Boston Bar.

Hoping for a better school year

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

Students and teachers are back in the classroom, and hopefully this will be a better year in the public school system than 2011-12. One of the most disappointing things about the past school year was a work-to-rule campaign by teachers, who were upset that they were getting nowhere in negotiations with the provincial government over a new contract. While their frustration was understandable, the length of the job action and the effect on students and families was disturbing. Many youngsters saw their team sports nixed, and drama, theatre and other events cancelled, and parents had to make an extra effort to monitor their children’s academic process, as report cards went unissued. Thankfully, the B.C. Teachers Federation and the provincial education bargaining authority reached an agreement over the summer months, and it appears there will be no job action this year. The BCTF is still angry with the government and will be working toward its defeat, as is its right, but there is a contract in place. Whether a new government, should one be elected, will come up with a better deal remains to be seen. There should be report cards and proper consultation with parents this school year, and that is to the benefit of everyone — teachers, students and parents. Education has never been as important as it is today. The ability of young people to live independent lives as adults is directly related to a good education, and the school system is a key part of that. Here’s hoping for a successful school year. – Black Press

Towns tackle modern problems

Tom Fletcher Local politicians are preparing for their annual convention, to be held Sept. 25-28 here in the provincial capital. One of the first orders of business this year will be a vote to raise the dues paid by local governments to the Union of B.C. Municipalities, to cover rising travel costs for staff to serve on provincial committees. The plan is also to change the name to Union of B.C. Local Governments, to reflect the participation of regional districts and aboriginal communities. So what do these committees and conferences accomplish? The UBCLG, as it will soon be known, is mainly a lobby group for local politicians to seek changes to federal

and provincial laws to keep up with changing times. The resolutions offer a snapshot of modern problems facing local governments. A major theme is public safety, and this year it is the Columbia Shuswap Regional District renewing a long-standing plea for more provincial policing money for rural communities. Surrey has a resolution seeking better notice and control of a growing number of medical marijuana licences issued by Ottawa. Local fire and police departments end up dealing with licensed grow-ops that spring up quietly and create electrical hazards, or expand production beyond their licences as this stealth legalization continues. Pitt Meadows, home to a Hells Angels clubhouse and drug-related crime familiar to most urban communities, wants B.C. to follow Alberta’s lead and give police authority to remove known gang members from bars and clubs. Gangs tend to

adopt certain establishments, and there isn’t much the owners or police can do about it. This year, the debate may go further. Metchosin is seeking support to call on Ottawa to decriminalize marijuana, ending a “failed policy which has cost millions of dollars in police, court, jail and social costs.”

“The resolutions offer a snapshot of modern problems facing local governments.” No chance of that under the Stephen Harper government, but it’s worthwhile to send the message. Another long-shot demand, sparked by the abduction of threeyear-old Kienan Hebert of Sparwood last year, is for Ottawa to make its sex offender registry pub-

lic for convicted repeat offenders. Ashcroft councillors want to give emergency services authority to deal with another modern hazard: hoarding. Yes folks, it’s more than just a show on TV that exposes a creepy side effect of our bloated North American consumer culture. The Ashcroft resolution notes that obsessively piling stuff to the rafters is a growing problem. And as with marijuana grow-ops, “local governments have little or no authority to enforce compliance with health and safety standards when a building is owner occupied.” Another First World problem is the “pocket dialing” of 9-1-1 by mobile phones. This is more than just a nuisance, because local emergency services are obliged to respond to every call they get. And mobile phones can’t be traced to their location with any precision, creating time-consuming searches that weaken response to real emergencies.

Other resolutions tackle complex and important issues, such as the effect of hydro development on municipal water supplies. But alas, most will be lost in the convention noise, overshadowed by political posturing over matters best left alone. Last year’s convention featured the low comedy of delegates voting with wireless devices to condemn smart meters, after displaying their ignorance of the subject. This year, in addition to factually challenged railing about oil tankers, there will be a tough stance taken against shark’s fin soup, which will no doubt strike fear into the Chinese fishing fleet. Once delegates vote themselves more taxpayers’ money to run this show, perhaps they should keep their grandstanding to a minimum.

Letters Work together for greater good

This is a critical time for Hope; a time that requires us to think differently and reinvent ourselves to meet the changes and challenges we face as a community and as global citizens. There is great potential for growth and prosperity if we expand our thinking beyond what we have known in the past. We have much to offer travellers, visitors and potential residents with easy access to so many places, an abundance of

indoor and outdoor recreation, and services, to name a few. Our neighbouring communities add to the options and broaden our appeal. There is much work to do to make the most of these and other opportunities that exist for us. One way we can achieve this is to work together, as a team, for the greater good.

things are approached in this manner it holds true. Ours is a community with great people with great ideas and great intentions. What appears to be lacking at times is communication, cooperation and a willingness to set personal agendas aside in the interests of the greater good. As a small community we don’t have the luxury of wasting resources, time or energy. By pooling our ideas, resources, time, energy, etc. rather than

scattering them, we will be more effective at accomplishing whatever endeavour we undertake. Our actions and/or inaction have an immediate impact on those around us. We can either join together to succeed in creating a brighter future, or pursue individual interests and fail to reach our full potential. I choose success. What will you choose and how will your actions support that choice? Michelle Richardson

I hope the BCTF and their president, Susan Lambert, can learn to get along better with Don McRae, the new Minister of Education, than they did with previous ministers. I, for one, am getting very tired of hearing Ms. Lambert claiming that education funding in B.C. has been cut when it has not been. Over the past decade (i.e., since the 2000/01 school year) education funding in B.C. has

been increased by $1.4 billion. That’s a 26 per cent increase. This funding increase is particularly noteworthy when you consider that there are now 63,000 fewer students in B.C.’s education system than there was a decade ago. And that’s not all. On top of the $1.4 billion in increased education operating funding (i.e., to pay teachers and staff), the province has also spent another $2.1 billion to build 93

new or replacement schools, to acquire 22 new school sites, to renovate 27 schools, and to add on to another 150 schools. How, in good conscience, can a professional body like the BCTF (one that seeks respect and support from the public, and presumably the same from the Minister of Education) characterize a significant increase in education funding, along with significant investments in new

schools, as a decrease in education funding and somehow claim it to be a cut? The BCTF should take this opportunity to start fresh with a new education minister and work on building a better relationship. If you ask me, it has to start with honesty and an end to the deceptive, self-serving claims of the BCTF and Ms. Lambert. Monika Bonney

Education funding hasn’t been cut

Provincial oil pipelines are time bombs for itself. The carrot dangled in front of politicians’ noses by Enbridge and Kinder Morgan, who promise to create thousands of jobs through their oil pipeline venture, is nothing else than a time bomb and also works as a litmus test of our elected leaders’ loyalty to the people of British Columbia. Although it is true that many jobs would be created for the construction of such a pipeline, once construction is finished, business is quickly scaled down to basic maintenance. How Enbridge runs their maintenance programs, however, has obviously caused many raised eyebrows following the news of ruptured pipelines and

Thank you to all the volunteers who worked tirelessly for Hope Brigade Days this past weekend. Your enthusiastic efforts and dedication form the backbone of this event! A big thank you goes out to not only our major sponsors, but to the local businesses and community service organizations as well. Your continued support enables us to continue to strive towards creating future events for the Briggie Days weekend. And, of course, to the District of Hope, FVRD, and various media companies – thank you. Your staff members are incredible, and we appreciate your assistance in helping us to make Briggie Days happen.

inadequately serviced equipment. Any amount of money generated through such a project could never pay for the damage done by an oil spill, and the horrifying effects on our beautiful B.C. environment and its people would be felt for many generations. “Big Oil” doesn’t worry about oil spills as cleanup cost is just a fraction of generated income. Last year BP, for example, was asked by the U.S. government to pay another $7 billion for the 2010 oil catastrophe in the gulf region. That same year BP made a whopping $27 billion in profits alone.

When thinking of oil companies and their executives, I am always reminded of the comic figure with dollar signs on his eyeballs. There are three types of organizations who are driven by a seemingly unquenchable thirst for money. One of them, of course, is so called organized crime – next are large corporations such as “Big Oil,” and then there are our various levels of government. When it comes to tax revenue, politicians are easily seduced by large corporations. Our government’s inaction concerning unreasonably high gas prices (i.e. price gouging) when oil companies generate billions in profits, speaks

The first motorists will cross the new Port Mann Bridge on Sept. 18 as three eastbound Highway 1 lanes open across the new span. The transition comes amid a host of other big changes drivers are being warned to expect this month. Just before the partial opening of the bridge, the Lougheed Highway eastbound will shift to a new final alignment south of Highway 1 on Sept. 16. Then on Sept. 19 a new overpass will open carrying westbound bridge traffic to Lougheed Highway eastbound. And over the Sept. 22-23 weekend crews are to complete and open another new overpass – the longest in the $3.3-billion Port Mann/Highway 1 project

– connecting Lougheed Highway westbound to Highway 1 eastbound. That’s just part of the complex array of work underway around the Cape Horn Interchange. “Reconstructing the Cape Horn Interchange is a megaproject within the Port Mann/ Highway 1 megaproject, and a crucial part of the solution to our congestion problems,” Transportation Investment Corp. CEO Mike Proudfoot said. “Over the coming weeks, drivers are going to see big changes as the project’s most technically challenging components come together in a hurry.” Cape Horn is the most comprehensive interchange reconstruction in B.C. history and includes 15 new ramps, struc-

tures and direct connections. The staged opening of the interchange and the new 10-lane bridge are aimed at avoiding much worse traffic delays than motorists will already face. Eight lanes of the new Port Mann Bridge are to open in December, when the tolls will also take effect, and three rebuilt interchanges between 160 Street in Surrey and Cape Horn in Coquitlam will also open by then. The full 10 lanes will open later after the old bridge is dismantled. The provincial government is also slated to release its tolling framework this month, potentially with lower introductory tolls than the $3 per crossing previously announced.

which you are not. Companies here and the community have much to offer and we need to maximize our advantages. AH: What are some of the benefits of doing business in Hope? EDM: Customer loyalty and a greater sense of community compared to the bigger cities. Doing business face to face. You are more than a customer, you are a neighbour. As well, people have to come through Hope – it is our biggest advantage over anyone else. AH: What do you most want people to know about your business? EDM: We are here to provide you with solutions, even if it is not with us. We genuinely want you to have success in your business, because it makes for a healthier Hope and area and that, directly or indirectly, helps all. It makes for a community where everyone wants to live and participate in. AH: How does Erica Press positively impact our community? EDM: Actually I see it more as that the community has positively impacted Erica Press. We enjoy giving, when able, to groups, events, to the community. In return Hope & area has rewarded us tremendously, and not necessarily in monetary. The De Meulder family immigrated to Canada and settled in Hope over 20 years ago. The same attributes that attracted them then, remain today – a transportation hub nestled in a small town with the ability for a small business to diversify and change as local economic opportunities evolve. With an in-family succession plan clearly working well, Erica Press will continue to be a foundation and inspiration to other businesses not only in Hope, but in our wider trade area stretching from Boston Bar to Manning Park to Bridal Falls. Tyler Mattheis is executive director of AdvantageHOPE, Hope’s economic development agency. He can be reached at 604-860-0930 or by email at info@advantagehope.ca.

utation first established by my parents. Everybody can make a widget, but not everybody is willing to do the little extra things to set themselves apart. AH: Many printing companies seem to be struggling today not only due to a floundering economy, but also reduced paper usage. How does Erica Press seemingly remain immune to these challenges? EDM: I wish we were immune, we are not. There are a number of economic and geographical factors that help and we have also managed to get more work from outside Hope. Orders from the Fraser Canyon and Lower Mainland augment our base, and we are working to establish more business in Princeton and the Highway 3 corridor. However, I believe the most important ingredients to our business success are more intangible. Our excellent reputation, honesty, integrity, and yes luck (or as I prefer blessed) are essential to our business. AH: Erica Press helps countless other businesses to marketing their wares or brand their companies – what marketing techniques do you use yourselves? EDM: Actually printing businesses are known to be notoriously bad in marketing themselves despite of having all the tools available to them. It is like the shoemaker who walks around with a hole in his shoe because he has no time to work on his own shoe. But whatever technique(s) you want to use, most importantly is to do it continuously, you can never rest on your laurels. AH: How important is branding to a company, or to a community? EDM: Very important. For a company you want it to reflect who you are, what you stand for, what you want to achieve and how you want to achieve it. Same goes for a community. Don’t try to be something

Shelves stocked with outgoing orders, in-process projects and drafts spread across desks, and stacks of paper surround the smiling apron-clad second-generation owner of Erica Press, Eric De Meulder. Erica Press is iconic on Wallace Street and key to many businesses’ marketing efforts by supplying cards, flyers, posters, maps, and the annual Hope Directory which is distributed throughout the community and surrounding areas. There are fewer independent print shops in the Fraser Valley then there were 10 years ago. The industry has been faced with a growing “paperless” environment, aggressive competition from online enterprises and box-stores, and a need to constantly keep up with new technology and tech- Tyler niques. Mattheis In the midst of these circumstances, Erica Press remains a solid rock not only in Hope’s business community, but in their industry as a whole. I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Eric to discuss his business’s history, challenges, and opportunities. AdvantageHOPE (AH): Erica Press is a very established business in Hope, why did you first choose to open a print shop in Hope, and how long have you been in business? Eric De Meulder (EDM): We have been in business here for 20 years. My parents chose Hope because when their employment in Hope and Agassiz discontinued they did not want to leave the beautiful community of Hope. AH: What do you see as your primary market, and how do you protect it? EDM: Our market in Hope is heavily dependent on the tourism industry, but we see by and large that it is all other businesses from all different markets. The way to protect it is to provide exceptional service and continue an excellent rep-

said Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl. “It is also a great opportunity for local organizations to renew their facilities and has the added bonus of creating jobs through construction and renovation.” Not-for-profits, mu-

nicipalities with populations under 250,000, and small businesses are among the eligible organizations that can apply for funding for up to $50,000. Projects may include: renovations, construction and retrofitting of buildings; modification of vehicles for

community use; or enhancements to make information and communication technologies more accessible. To find out how to apply for funding or for more information about the federal government fund, visit: www.hrsdc.gc.ca/disability.

Sports Fitness challenge supports Canuck Place Fraser Canyon Flatliners to compete at Cultus Lake on Sunday

Barry Stewart Hope Standard

PATTIE DESJARDINS / THE STANDARD

The Fraser Canyon Flatliners will be participating in the second annual Innovative Fitness Canuck Place Adventure Challenge at Cultus Lake on Sept. 16.

nuck Place hospice in Abbotsford is a huge advantage for those children who are in a unique situation, like Tyler Wells was,” added Greggain. “Tyler was my first patient when I came to Hope and we had to make special arrangements to have him in the hospice here. The new children’s hospice will be much better for upper Fraser Valley families, than having to go to the one in Vancouver.” Organizers require that each racer raise at least $1,000 for the cause — but the Flatliners have already surpassed their team goal of $5,000 and are currently in fourth place among all teams, at $5,116, as of Tuesday. “Donations are still welcome,” said Greggain. To donate online, go to cultuslake.adventurechallenge. ca/, then click on the Flatliners’ team and click on one of the team members’ names and you will be

said Empey. “We’ve used the Hope Lookout Trail a lot. I even beat Wayne once — and he said it would be the only time.” Empey is an organizer of the annual Hope Hustle race hike at Brigade Days and she said Desjardins placed first in his age group this year, with a very respectable time of 28:22. Greggain may have been enjoying a little too much of the flora and fauna, as he was about 20 minutes behind Desjardins. “I’m not an athlete by nature — but I like to promote the pursuit of health and wellness, no matter what your size or ability,” said Greggain. “It’s sometimes tough to balance the physical activity into the available hours of the day. I like to incorporate my training into the activities I enjoy and cycling, hiking and kayaking are fun to do.”

Left to their own devices, a lot of folks would gravitate to the couch without much push-back. It’s just so easy. Thank goodness for people who take on the role of organizer, to give us events and challenges to motivate us to stay upright and active. One such event is the second annual Innovative Fitness Canuck Place Adventure Challenge at Cultus Lake on Sept. 16. The challenge involves kayaking on the lake and biking and hiking over some steep terrain. It’s not something you can go and do without prior training — and a team of three staffers from the Fraser Canyon Hospital... plus a friend have signed on for the event. They’ll also be donating funds for the new Canuck Place hospice for kids in Abbotsford, which is set to open in 2013, beside the Abbotsford Regional Hospital. How does a team of four do a three-stage event? In a pack, as a team... or at least within earshot of each other. “You all have to cross the finish line of each stage together,” said team member Dr. Josh Greggain, who did the challenge solo last year. If one member is lagging behind, the clock doesn’t stop until he or she has completed that stage. Nurse Yvonne Dale, lab technician Shelley Empey and Hope resident Wayne Desjardins are the rest of the team, called the “Fraser Canyon Flatliners.” Other than the five kilometers of lake paddling, there’s not too much that is flat on the Adventure Challenge course. “There’s a 1.8 kilometre section on the [30 km] bike ride that’s at a 13 per cent grade,” said Greggain. “By comparison, the hill from Kawkawa Lake to Othello is 11 per cent,” added Empey. After going up the hill, riders have to come back down — so good braking and technique will be important. A five kilometre race hike in the Seven Sisters/Tea Pot Hill area ends the challenge. “This event has been going on at Deep Cove in North Vancouver for about 10 to 12 years, I believe,” said Greggain. “It’s an opportunity to have a great adventure and support a great cause. “The prospect of having a Ca-
