Hope undertakes branding project Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

The district is currently working with the local Chamber of Commerce and AdvantageHOPE to establish a common identity for Hope. The branding project aims to create a comprehensive document which can be used to unify local organizations. “It’s about what we want to communicate to the public and then signage becomes a tool to achieve our objective,” said Tyler Mattheis, executive director of AdvantageHOPE. “I think having an overall brand makes sure that our efforts have more longevity.”

The Hope & District Arts Council has been awarded a $16,077 federal grant for its Clayworks for Seniors program. Chilliwack-Hop e MP Mark Strahl announced the funding last Wednesday at The Art Machine. The grant will offset the cost of eight new Shimpo pottery wheels. “Often times you see these announcements come out of Ottawa and you don’t really know what’s happening with those dollars. It’s great to see this sort of investment having a real positive affect in Hope,” he said. “It’s very therapeutic to have your hands in clay and to get to-

The program is designed to help adults 55 and over learn how to throw pottery on the wheel. The federal grant is provided by the New Horizons for Seniors Program, which supports projects led or inspired by seniors who want to make a difference in the lives of others and in their communities. The Art Machine is located at 777 Fifth Ave.

CX-5 RAISES THE BAR

The story of the 2013 Mazda CX-5 began in 2005 when Mazda began mapping out its long-term strategy in a post-Ford world. This is how the car business works. What you see in showrooms today was conceived long ago. SkyActiv, the buzzword Mazda is using to describe the company’s comprehensive take on improving fuel economy and reducing emissions in vehicles that remain fun to drive, is all about “wiping the slate clean,” says Mazda senior engineer Dave Coleman, the self-described Director of Technobabble. “No more parts-bin engineering,” he adds. By that he means this: The CX-5 and all that comes next from Mazda represent what you might call a holistic approach to vehicle development. Everything you will see from Mazda going forward, from the powertrains to the platforms, from the designs to engineering top to bottom – all if it is about “squeezing maximum efficiency from existing technologies.” Yeah, but why should you care? You’re not a technogeek. But if you’re like 300,000 other Canadians or so, you will be buying a compact SUV of some sort this year or next year or the year after, each and every year. Canadians love their

CROSSOVER EMPHASIZES SPORTINESS OVER UTILITY, WITH SKYACTIV PROCESS PROVIDING THE PERFORMANCE BOOST compact SUVs; sales here account for 17 per cent of the entire new-vehicle market and just in the last two years have doubled. So you are very likely to want something along the lines of a Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Ford Escape, Chevrolet Equinox, Kia Sportage, Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue. If you are a Mazda owner, you will likely be moving up from a Mazda3, although Mazda wants you if you are a former Honda Civic or Ford Focus owner, too. If that’s you, the base version of the CX-5, the GX with front-wheeldrive, starts at $22,995. The volume model, the GS, lists for $27,895 and the top-of-the-line GT starts at $32,495. All are well equipped, but of course, as you pay more you get more. AWD, for instance, is a $2,000 option on GX and GS models, standard on the GT. Most importantly to Mazda, the CX-5 offers the “best highway fuel economy of any SUV sold in Canada – including hybrids:” 7.8 litres/100 km in the city, 5.7 highway for frontdrive models with the six-speed manual transmission. Front-drivers with the six-speed automatic get 7.7 city/6.1 highway and with AWD and the automatic, 8.0 city/6.4 highway. Using regular gas across the board. Mazda, then, is taking aim at the

heart of the new-vehicle market in Canada with a crossover that is very capable, looks sharp and is fun-to-drive. All at an appealing price. If Mazda gets this right, the CX-5 will not be a niche player. You’re going to see them all over your neighbourhood. The CX-5 is, for the present, the future of Mazda. It’s Mazda going all in for the first time with SkyActiv fuel-saving technologies. For instance, there is a new global platform architecture here, and it is 8 per cent lighter and 30 per cent more rigid than the company’s previous small-car architecture. Most interesting, I think, is that this small-car architecture has yielded a fuel-efficient crossover that not only isn’t a bore to drive, but is almost as big as the current Mazda CX-7. SkyActiv at work. Speaking of which, the heart of it, really, is Mazda’s new Skyactiv-G direct-injected, 2.0-litre, inlinefour-cylinder gasoline engine. Director Technobabble had a long and detailed presentation to explain why this engine is so good, so strong, and so efficient and if you must know, the essence of it all is the 13:1 compression ratio using regular gas. Those who care about compression ratios will know that’s a pretty good number for an

everyday car. If you could not care less, suffice to say the 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque are all there and pretty quickly. This Mazda is no slug. And thanks to some fancy engine plumbing, the power comes on smoothly, without any knocking or hesitation. All very impressive. Then there’s the new automatic transmission. Delicious. Again, only a geek would care why the shifts are so good (the torque converter is basically on the job only during gear changes) but let me tell you, up-shifts are smooth and downshifts are rev-matched. They are seriously snappy, too. As is the overall handling of the CX-5. Meanwhile, the exterior design is an eye-grabber and the cabin is roomy, intelligently useful and airy. Outward visibility is exceptional, rear-seat room is good for adults and the big cargo area expands thanks to near-flat folding rear seatback. As family haulers go, the CX-5 looks like a winner. No, that’s damning with faint praise. Mazda, in fact, has just thrown down the gauntlet in this segment. The competition should start tearing down CX-5s ASAP.

Assault in Hope

Nomination deadline for business awards nears

Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Time is running out to submit nominations for the 2012 Business Excellence Awards. Presented by the Hope & District Chamber of Commerce, the event gives residents a chance to recognize the local business sector. “It’s simply a way to acknowledge the successful businesses in Hope that are going an extra step for customer service,” said Chamber president Glen Ogren. There are 10 categories this year, including two new ones for the trade industry and home based businesses. The trade award will be handed out to a business that consistently demonstrates excellence in their performance. This category includes automotive, construction, plumbing/heating, electrical, HVAC and landscaping. The home based business award is given to a business that shows outstanding characteristics in areas such as performance, leadership, innovation, management, marketing and service. “The trades are a vital service for our

Two 19-year-old men and one 21-year-old man from Hope are facing assault charges following an attack on another man on Sept. 9. Hope RCMP were called to the scene behind Cooper’s Foods on Old Hope Princeton Way at about 2:15 a.m. and found man on the ground bleeding from his head. Witnesses told police that a group of three men approached and knocked the victim to the ground and began assaulting him. He was taken to Fraser Canyon Hospital for treatment of head injuries and has since been released. “Police were able to gather information and evidence quickly in this case and make the necessary arrests,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. The three men allegedly involved in the attack were arrested at a house in Hope and have been charged with assault causing bodily harm. They were released from custody, but remain on several conditions until their next court appearance in Chilliwack on Oct. 16.

Nomination deadline is Sept. 28. As an added incentive to encourage participation in Business Excellence Awards, nominators have the chance to win $200 in Chamber bucks. Once the nomination period closes, entries will be tallied up and the top three nominees in each category will be interviewed at their place of business by an independent panel. Winners will be announced at the Awards Gala on Oct. 18 at the Hope Legion. The event includes dinner, entertainment and awards. Gala tickets are on sale now for $40 per person or $280 for a table of eight. They are available at the Chamber office or by calling 604-869-3111.

Hiring, pay freeze as deficit climbs Finance minister pegs provincial debt at $1.14 billion

HELL NIGHT EVERY

Black Press

The B.C. government is freezing management salaries in government, Crown corporations and agencies, and imposing a hiring freeze on direct government jobs to deal with a rising deficit forecast. Finance Minister Mike de Jong delivered his first quarterly financial update last Thursday, showing a deficit forecast up $173 million. That would bring the deficit to $1.14 billion by the end of the fiscal year next March, due mainly to lost revenues from falling natural gas prices. The hiring freeze doesn’t apply to health authorities, universities and other services beyond direct government staff, which is budgeted to shrink by 2,000 positions through attrition in the next three years. The pay freeze doesn’t apply to unionized positions, but de Jong said B.C.’s bargaining mandate for unions is also being reviewed. The current mandate calls for wage increases to be financed by savings in other parts of unionized operations. It has so far not produced a settlement with the biggest union representing direct provincial employees, the B.C. Government and Ser-

vice Employees’ Union, which has staged a series of one-day strikes since rejecting a 3.5 per cent wage increase over two years. De Jong said he intends to present a balanced budget in February for the 2013-14 fiscal year, when the government will face a May election. To do that, the government has to make up for an expected $389 million drop in natural gas revenue that year.

The government uses gas price forecasts from five private sector agencies, but none fully accounted for the surge of shale gas production that has depressed North American prices. B.C. producers have ramped up despite the softening price, to prove reserves needed for liquefied natural gas export facilities proposed for the north coast. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said he predicted the gas price

drop last spring, but former finance minister Kevin Falcon ignore him. And Ralston scoffed at de Jong’s claim that his ministry will find more savings in travel budgets and other discretionary spending. “Travel budgets? That’s an old movie,” he said. De Jong said a fall legislative session is “unlikely” as he and other ministers appointed in Premier Christy Clark’s

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

Bad time for conflict

If a “Friends of ” group starts up to support you while you’re leader of a political party, there’s a good chance you’re already in trouble. This week, a group calling itself “Friends of John Cummins” began issuing press releases, indicating support from several regional directors for Cummins, leader of the BC Conservatives. The endorsements come amid an increasingly public dispute over what some in the party are calling “an internal matter.” At the centre is a call by some for a leadership review in advance of next spring’s provincial election. Party members are currently being asked if they would support a review; results will be announced at the BC Conservatives’ annual general meeting on Sept. 22. People on both sides of the debate suggest the discussion is a healthy part of a democratic process. But clearly, with an election looming, Conservatives have better things to do than engage in a “healthy” debate over the qualifications of their own leader. Like fundraise. During the Chilliwack-Hope byelection, the Conservatives – and some pundits – painted the BC Conservatives as the next governing party of the province. That argument will be hard to make again if the Conservatives can’t raise enough money to mount an effective campaign. Certainly the Liberals – chief rival to any Conservative aspiration – are experiencing their challenges. But those have the more measured look of a party taking stock of its resources as it prepares for the fight of its life. Premier Christy Clark had asked her MLAs to make their intentions known so there would be enough time to secure replacements. By contrast, the Conservatives’ squabble looks more like a palace coup. Of course, both the Liberals and the NDP are well acquainted with internal discord. Leaders of both those parties owe their positions to membership mutinies. The difference is those members had the good sense to throw their leaders overboard well before an election. - Black Press

B.C. Views

Stakes go up in B.C. gas gamble

Tom Fletcher Mike de Jong’s debut as B.C. finance minister was a grim one. The first financial update for this election year projects a $1.4 billion decline in natural resource revenues from Kevin Falcon’s one and only budget in February. Most of that is from declining natural gas revenues in the next three years. And it’s not just the price of gas that’s lower than what the finance ministry’s array of private sector experts had forecast. The volume of B.C. gas sold is down as well, as abundant new sources of shale gas come on-stream in the U.S. As with oil, that’s currently the only market Canada has. And it wasn’t long ago that the

energy ministry was trumpeting its monthly totals for “bonus bids” paid by gas companies for drilling rights in northeastern B.C. That gold rush has wound down as shale deposits are staked and the price falls. De Jong’s response shows how serious this problem is for any B.C. government. He inherits Falcon’s political commitment to present a balanced budget next spring. How he will do that, and be believed in a heated post-HST election campaign, remains a mystery. De Jong announced a hiring freeze for government staff, and a management salary freeze across health care, universities and Crown corporations as well as government operations. He hinted at an even harder line with unions, as the government’s largest employee group continued selective strike action. This, and the familiar vow to rein in travel and other discretionary

to fall. And then there is the light at the far end of the tunnel, exports to Asia where the price remains much higher. That project took two important steps forward last week. Spectra Energy and British multinational BG Group unveiled plans for a third major pipeline to bring northeast gas to the coast, this one to a site near Prince Rupert proposed for a liquefied natural gas facility. And on Friday, the Haisla Nation and the B.C. government announced a land use agreement to develop another LNG export facility on the Douglas Channel near Kitimat. Two proposals in that area have already received federal export permits and financing from global energy players, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean companies.

eral-provincial overlaps that make industrial development so slow and difficult. Ottawa has sole authority to regulate reserve lands, but agreed to delegate that to B.C. and the Haisla, allowing them to pioneer the latest agreement. This is a major breakthrough, not just in the industrial development of northern B.C. but in dismantling the century-old logjam of aboriginal resource claims.

Letters Education figures can be deceiving • certain expenses are fixed: a reduction in enrolment does not automatically mean a reduction in expenditures as heating, maintenance and clerical staffing costs often remain the same • spending money on aging infrastructure for seismic upgrades, for example, does not translate into services for students

• additional costs such as the carbon tax • the expense of operating the allday kindergarten program for 40,000 students introduced in 2010 Regardless of the widely-quoted numbers put forth by the BC Liberals, what really matters in what is happening in our schools. For the past decade, teachers across B.C. have seen

a reduction in services to students – especially those who need psycho-educational testing, learning assistance and special education programs. Our children are our future. They deserve a well-funded public education system. Lynne Marvell, Fraser-Cascade Teachers’ Association president

Hospital auxiliary sets the record straight

In the Sept. 12, 2012 issue there is a two-page advertisement for Fraser Valley Health Foundation requesting donations for our local hospital.

In this ad there is a statement that they are the official charity to raise funds for Fraser Canyon Hospital – this is not true. For more than 50 years,

the Auxiliary to Fraser Canyon Hospital and Fraser Hope Lodge has been raising and donating funds for the exclusive use of Hope hospital and lodge

residents. Do not get me wrong, the foundation is a great organization but they are not the official charity for Hope hospital and the number of

Probe finds courts can run faster Cowper urges five more judges but no cash

Jeff Nagel

Community of Hope Church Directory ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA

CHRIST CHURCH

Black Press

Deep reforms are needed in B.C.’s congested court system to speed justice and prevent accused criminals from walking free from unacceptable trial delays, according to the findings of a government-ordered probe. B.C. Justice Reform Initiative chair Geoffrey Cowper concludes a “culture of delay” remains in place in the justice system because no enforcement mechanism exists to break through persistent barriers to change. His 272-page report offers numerous recommendations and observations on the problems in the system. “There is a general sense of frustration and anxiety that there is not enough money,” the report said. Cowper found even simple criminal cases continue to take too long to get to trial despite a sharp drop in the criminal backlog over the last two years, largely due to the province’s shift to punishing impaired drivers with roadside penalties rather than prosecution in court. In B.C. Supreme Court, the time to reach trial and the length of trials is rising in part because of a struggle to manage highly complex, large cases. He proposes a Criminal Justice and Public Safety Council to transparently oversee the coordination of the legal system to try to make it more efficient. It would also track the court backlog and recommend to the Justice Minister how much money and staff the system needs. Cowper recommended five new judges be immediately added to boost capacity, but said the Provincial Court’s call for 18 more judges to help reduce

Numerous reforms have been proposed by a provincial review to address congestion in B.C.’s courts.

the case backlog is not justified. More than 100 cases were stayed last year because of excessive delays in getting to trial, violating the rights of the accused, and the number of cases older than 18 months in the provincial court system topped 2,500 before starting to decline. Several judges have criticized the lack of court resources in rulings throwing out longdelayed cases. Cowper declined to make a recommendation on whether overall funding for the criminal justice system is sufficient. Costs have climbed, Cowper found, but mainly to fund salary and benefit increases – not more court capacity. Much can be done through more efficient use of existing resources, he suggested. While longer delays have compounded the problems, speeding up the time to trial would help on multiple fronts. Defence would have to be ready to sooner to respond to charges – perhaps opening up more plea bargains that avoid the need for trial.

Accused criminals wouldn’t be held in custody as long, so the consequences of denying them bail wouldn’t be as severe. And the very high volume of charges being laid for breaching bail conditions would be sharply cut. Cowper also recommends more spending on legal aid, financed through a tariff. Also proposed is sending trials initially to an assignment court rather than to individual judges so cases can be handled more efficiently. Proactive policing has already been a major success but Cowper said more crime reduction gains are possible and a province-wide strategy is needed. He endorsed earlier

findings rejecting the idea of letting police officers lay criminal charges directly, rather than Crown counsel. The wheels of justice have spun more slowly in B.C. despite a steadily falling crime rate and fewer criminal cases entering the system. Justice Minister Shirley Bond said the province will study the findings before responding. NDP critic Leonard Krog said Cowper’s council idea is worth pursuing, as well as a move to more permanent judges, rather than part-timers. He said the government’s failure to maintain a functioning justice system continues to let the guilty walk free and leaves the efforts of police, prosecutors and court staff “ut-

terly wasted.” Krog noted a deluge of new criminal cases is heading for provincial jails when the federal government begins imposing new mandatory minimum sentences. More must be done to divert chronic offenders with addictions and mental illness out of court and into treatment, he added. “It’s going to be costly but it has to be available and that is going to be part of the longer term solution,” Krog said. “Police are tired of acting as mental health or social workers.” Cowper looked only at criminal justice, not the civil courts, Krog noted, adding delays in hearing a child custody applications can disrupt years of a young childhood.

Barry Stewart Hope Standard

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Defensive duo, Daniel (centre) and Garry Arrowsmith chase down the Timberwood Young Guns’ Steve Lindhout, in the Valley Choppers’ game last Saturday in Chilliwack. The Choppers held the formidable Young Guns to a scoreless draw for seventy minutes, before allowing the deciding goal in the 1-0 loss.

a while. I’m impressed by their ball control — and it’s easy to see how much the Grade 9s have come on from last year. “As long as we throw in a couple of Slurpee runs on away-game trips we should be very fulfilled and contented, no matter the scores. I love the game, and I’m enjoying the coaching, but it’s really all about the opportunity to invest in the lads’ lives for me.” The 8-9s will play in the Chilliwack league, said HSS athletics coordinator Alicia Dubois. She estimated that games would begin by the end of the month for both the junior and senior teams but she would know more after the Sept. 19 planning meeting in Surrey. The senior boys have been hitting the field for three practices a week, coached

by science teacher Geordie Webber. While Dubois said they currently qualify for single-A (small school) status, they have chosen to stay in the AA league, which could take them as far as Surrey. “We’ve got 18 bodies and we’re a fairly young team,” said Webber on Monday. “There aren’t as many Grade 12s as I’d like but it’s a pretty committed group. “Like most years, we’re starting out a bit raw — but we’ll improve with game experience.” Their first game will come tomorrow (Thursday) at 6 p.m., in a friendly against the Chopper’s men’s team at HSS field. Speaking of the field, Webber said, “It’s the best it’s looked in years. It’s good to see that they’ve kept watering it through the

summer.” Five of the senior Mustang players are also signed with the Valley Choppers, playing in the Chilliwack men’s league against some very talented players. Yvon McKay, Nathan Polomark and Mason Madeiros were Choppers last season and are now joined by Karl Price and Matthew de Groot. Valley Helicopters is the main sponsor of the squad, now entering its sixth campaign. The Choppers have shut their opponents out in the first halves of their first two games of the season — and held the alwaysstrong Young Guns scoreless for 70 minutes last Saturday, before losing 1-0. The Choppers face Old Settler at 2 p.m. this Saturday at Sardis Secondary field.

Local soccer has kicked off in the some of the best end-of-summer weather this century. Players from age four to over 50 are involved on three fronts: Hope Minor Soccer, Hope Secondary boys, and the men’s Valley Choppers team, which plays in the Chilliwack Men’s Recreational Soccer League. Bruce Becker, president of Hope Minor Soccer, said on Monday that their association has approximately 150 players signed up for the fall session, which runs till Nov. 17. “We had about 130 last fall,” said Becker, who is the principal of Silver Creek Elementary. “This year we opened it up for Grade 8 and 9 players and we’ve picked up about 25 boys and girls from that. We moved a few Grade 7s up to join them and they play full field with all the rules. All the other groups play on smaller fields. “Our kindergarten-Grade 1 group has 38 kids and four teams. The Grade 2-3-4 group has 45 kids and four teams and the 5-6-7 has 41 kids on four teams.” In its infancy in the early 1980s, Hope Minor Soccer was playing second-fiddle to hockey, which had a few years head start. Despite a shrinking student population from those days, soccer has now surpassed local hockey registration — especially in the spring, where Becker believes the numbers could be pushing 200. In the meantime, minor softball has fallen right off the map. Becker thinks Hope Minor Soccer’s success comes from the simplicity of the product. “We only play on Saturdays, all at Hope Secondary — and it’s really affordable. It’s only $40 at any level. It’s still competitive... but in a casual way. “We have a lot of parents and Hope Secondary students helping out,” he added. “We even have a couple acting as co-vice presidents this year, Michelle and Brad Gazely. They organized the float in the Brigade Days parade and we won a trophy. I think there were about 12 adults and kids involved. The Grade 8 and 9 boys have doublecoverage, with Hope Secondary offering a team this fall, thanks to the coaching of local minister Andrew Tarrant. The squad has eight Grade 9s and nine Grade 8s. “Seven of last year’s Grade 8s have stayed on and are forming a good solid core to the team,” said Tarrant on Tuesday. “Bruce Becker tells me the new Grade 8s are the best class of Hope Minor Soccer players for

Pot Luck Dinner

James Gary (Jim) Ostlund passed away suddenly at his home in Hope, BC at the age of fifty-five. Jim was recovering from recent surgery and looking forward to his renewed health, making this an especially tragic turn of events. He was predeceased by his father Norm, mother Pat, and brother Rick. He is survived by sisters Joanne (Brian Howard) and Patricia (Kevin Magnall), niece Gwen Howard, nephews Shawn and Jason Howard and David and Michael Ostlund, as well as eight great nephews and nieces. Jim received his Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree from Simon Fraser University and went on to study physical anthropology at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, where he received both his Masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree and PhD. He participated in several archaeological excavations in BC, Alberta and Thailand. He taught briefly at Malaspina College before following in his brotherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s footsteps and joining Correctional Service Canada (CSC). For the last several years Jim dedicated himself to his career as a Parole Officer, and took much pride in the work he did. Jim spent many hours as a young man hiking, skiing and enjoying the outdoors with family and friends. He loved to discuss his field of anthropology and was a voracious reader. He spent countless hours reading on his back porch, with his beloved cat Mu nearby. As per Jimâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wishes, a family celebration of his life will be held later this fall. Special thanks to the many health care professionals who worked closely with Jim during his recent illness and surgery. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC, the BCSPCA, or a charity of your choice in memory of Jim would be greatly appreciated.
