A new student-driven initiative in Hope is targeting a growing problem in the school district. Erin Wilkins’ Social Justice 12 class at Hope Secondary has partnered with Hope Community Services on an anti-cyber bullying project. “We jumped on board because it fits well with our curriculum – seeing an injustice and trying to fix it,” said Wilkins. “My students are motivated to try and create change and are hoping that if they lead, others will follow.” A bullying survey has been handed out to Grade 7-10 students through-

out the district over the last few weeks in an effort to understand more about what is going on in individual schools. The questionnaire is grouped into five sections: offender, victimization, bystander, physical/verbal bullying, and cyber bullying. Even though the survey is anonymous, students are asked to include their gender, age and grade with their answers. Wilkins’ students have until March to draft some kind of lesson plan based on the questionnaire results, which will then be implemented at each targeted grade level throughout the district by the Social Justice 12 class. “What we’ve found is that kids

listen to kids. If we can get senior students to teach younger students, maybe we’ll have a better response and they’ll be more receptive,” said Wilkins. “The reason we’re targeting cyber bullying is it seems to be the way to keep adults out of the loop. This might get the lines of communication open, especially between parents and students. We’re hoping with this information, we’ll also be able to train kids in the world of technology.” Last year, the Ministry of Children and Family Development decided that some of the regular mental health programming funding for Hope Community Services would be used to develop an anti-bullying

project for the entire school district in 2012. Partnering with the Social Justice 12 class allowed them to develop appropriate survey questions that youth would relate to. “We want to develop a series of resources with information that is stated in such a way that youth will listen to it and practice it when needed,” said Maclynne Bourquin, Hope Community Services executive director. “We also want to increase the number of youth that do not sit on the sidelines when others are being bullied and provide youth with skills/ resources when they experience bullying, or when assisting their friends who are being bullied.”

The Christmas season is a time for love and laughter, but it can also be a very stressful time for families. There are many triggers over the holidays that can lead to domestic violence, including increased Marianne Brueckert, alcohol consumption at social gatherings, and Victim Services family pressures and stresses with over-scheduling and over-committing. Finances and overspending can be also be a major trigger for domestic violence at this time of year. However, there are several coping strategies that can be used to soothe the stress and eliminate the possibility of domestic violence. Have family discussions regarding finances long before the season is upon you and stick to the family budget. Always know your limit with alcohol as increased alcohol consumption can lead to arguments that may not otherwise occur. Discuss in advance how your time during the holidays is going to be spent and with whom. The most important tip to be aware of in domestic violence situations is to know when you are not safe and to seek help immediately. Some local support agencies are: Hope/Boston Bar Victim Services (604-869-7750), Hope and Area Transition Society (604-869-5111), and Hope Community Services (604-869-2466). If there is any violence or threats of violence made, please contact your local RCMP or call 911. 12/12W_RCMP12

Hope and Boston Bar RCMP are gearing up for this year’s fourth annual Stuff the Cruiser event. All proceeds raised will help support families in need this holiday season through the local food bank. Items in demand include diapers, baby formula, soup, and canned meats, fruits and vegetables. “This is our way of engaging the community in a positive way every year and it’s an event that we all look forward to being a part of,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “This event brings the police and the public together for a common goal and charity really tends to unify a community. We are really proud to be involved in this.” Police cars will be parked at Cooper’s Foods in Hope from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 15 and in Boston Bar from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Kal Tire.

Being bilingual can open doors to new opportunities for Canadian youth. But at the moment, there are no French immersion programs in the Fraser Cascade school district. Agassiz parent Colin Fisher is hoping to change that. He recently approached the school board, in the hopes that they would consider bringing in an immersion program. The board was receptive to Fisher’s idea, and agreed to put the idea out to other parents as a first step. If there is enough interest in the program, the board would then consider taking it a step further to begin creating a

“While I don’t really expect it to happen soon, it would be nice to see us try,” he said. Chilliwack School District has a late immersion program, starting at Grade 6. Fisher is hoping to see an early immersion program. More options in the school district means there are fewer reasons for students to bus into Chilliwack, and would boost the district’s student population. But finding French immersion teachers is not an easy task, said Stan Watchorn, director of education. To get a program started, there would need to be about 22 students. To discuss the program, contact Fisher at agassizfrench@gmail.com.

Opinion

Ever-increasing taxes

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

Many people wonder why they have such perpetual empty pockets. There is minimal price inflation, interest rates are low, yet at the end of most weeks, there is little left over for extras. There are several possible explanations, and one of them may surprise some people. While some suggest that more people need to be financially literate, that is only a part of the puzzle. A lack of wage growth for most working people, other than government workers, is another part of the puzzle, but again it only explains a portion of the problem. Perhaps the missing link in the puzzle, which isn’t properly explained, is just how inflation is calculated. According to the Bank of Canada, the official inflation rate is based on a basket of consumer goods, including food, shelter, furniture, clothing, transportation and recreation. The federal government has been keeping track of prices on that basis since 1914. The first real inflation in Canada took place during the First World War, when prices rose to higher levels because of wartime shortages. Canadians were hit brutally by inflation in the 1970s and 1980s. At one time, interest rates were over 20 per cent — and inflation was close to 14 per cent annually. Those days are long past us now. Inflation has been at low rates for years, and interest rates are much the same. As a result, people have borrowed more money than ever — much of it to buy homes. Nowhere is that more true than in the Lower Mainland. Interest costs are thus draining a good portion of peoples’ incomes. But the fact that inflation isn’t being calculated on some of our costs may be an even bigger factor behind our empty pockets. Low official inflation rates mean employers don’t feel the need to give wage increases and governments feel there is plenty of taxing room. Taxes are not considered inflationary. Thus steady jumps in medical service premiums in B.C. are of no consequence. Nor was the HST, which added tax to many items that formerly only had the GST applied. In recent years, the biggest contributors to our empty wallets are governments. But they get away with it, because there’s minimal “inflation.” - Black Press

B.C. Views

Clean LNG can still be done

Tom Fletcher On Friday, as the federal government was giving the green light to a Malaysian investment of billions more into northern B.C.’s liquefied natural gas megaproject, Coastal First Nations chiefs held their quarterly board meeting in Vancouver. These are now the most powerful aboriginal leaders in North America, bankrolled by U.S. environmental groups and their wealthy charity foundation backers as guardians of the Great Bear Rainforest. A major topic was the Haisla Nation, the Kitimat partner that abruptly quit its voluntary association with the Haida, Gitga’at and other communities over its plans to develop LNG exports. This discord comes at a bad time.

OFFICE HOURS Mon.-Wed. & Fri. 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Premier Christy Clark has bet heavily on LNG, not just for her government’s future, but the industrial and economic direction of the province for decades to come. Initial press reports were misleading. One had it that Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, the B.C. government’s key ally on LNG, was “buddying up” with the Harper government on the Enbridge oil pipeline proposed to go to Kitimat, in the heart of Coastal First Nations territory. Not so. Both Ross and Coastal First Nations executive director Art Sterritt confirmed to me that they remain solidly against the Enbridge proposal. The disagreement is over how to power the processing of LNG, which the Haisla are pioneering with provincial assistance. Sterritt said the Haisla and the rest of the group were in agreement until a few weeks ago. The plan was to follow Clark’s solemn vow to make B.C. LNG the “green-

plants proposed in partnership with the Haisla. Then the play got bigger. The B.C. government transferred Crown land on Douglas Channel to the Haisla for an LNG project planned by Shell, PetroChina and Korea Gas. And Sterritt said he started getting signals from Victoria that the industry doesn’t want to buy power from outside producers to drive LNG cooling and compression. Instead they wanted to power it directly with gas, using equipment called “mechanical drives” rather than electrical drives. In a letter to Haisla members explaining why he quit the Coastal First Nations, Ross said he was insulted by Sterritt’s comments that the Haisla were choosing “the dirtiest way possible” to ship LNG. Ross noted that emissions would be about the same if gas is burned in the LNG plant or in a power plant nearby. That’s true, but Sterritt points out

a critical difference. If LNG producers are allowed to use single-purpose mechanical drives, no renewable energy can ever be added. And as more LNG producers rush into B.C., reserves that would have lasted 75 to 100 years could be depleted in 30. And when the gas is gone? “These big, hulking plants that are going to be in Kitimat are just going to be sitting there, rotting,” Sterritt said. “It happens all over the world.” B.C.’s clean energy plan envisions extending the BC Hydro grid, developing run-of-river and wind farms such as the big offshore proposal off Haida Gwaii, and ultimately a future beyond oil and gas. Now, in their rush to develop LNG, Clark and Energy Minister Rich Coleman seem poised to abandon that strategy.

Letters

Town hall forum needed for pipeline project Re: Pipeline project has positive impact, Letters (Dec. 5) I also attended the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain public information session held on Nov. 28 in the gym of C.E. Barry school. Yes, I found it informative, however, I also found the presentation misleading, especially the poster which depicted an aerial view drawing of the existing pipeline route which neglected to show the pipeline crossing the Coquihalla River. To anyone who is not familiar with this area, they would be lead to believe that the Coquihalla River

starts near the Hope Golf Course! When Kinder Morgan representatives were asked simple direct questions, they quickly enlisted an ‘expert’ well-rehearsed in avoiding answering sensitive questions. For example, the upgrading of the existing pipeline to today’s safety standards with particular reference to C.S.A. Code Z662 and the National Energy Board regulation which stipulate that shutoff valves are to be installed at river crossings and the thickness of pipelines under river crossings be increased to twice the thickness.

Mr. Rowe’s letter outlines the positive financial impact the Kinder Morgan expansion would have with the District of Hope, but neglected to mention any of the potential negative economic impacts that our community would endure in the event of an oil spill, specifically in the hospitality and tourist sectors along with deflated property values. Say goodbye to the estimated $222 per household that Mr. Rowe projected. And let’s not forget to mention the devastating negative environmental impact an oil spill

could have to our water supply, wildlife and fish habitats. The question remains, why is Kinder Morgan allowed to transport bitumen and other oil products through an old pipeline that, by today’s more stringent safety standards, would be deemed inadequate and would never have procured a licence by the N.E.B.? Personally, I feel a town hall question and answer forum would provide the public access to a more balanced and realistic view of Kinder Morgan’s intentions. Dennis O’Keeffe

B.C. Liberals are engaged in ‘voodoo politics’

When right-wing types tell you that the NDP are fiscally irresponsible “socialists,” you can remind them that many NDP provincial governments across Canada over the years have balanced their budgets. In B.C., for the second time this year, the Liberal government has increased its defi-

cit forecast. The B.C. deficit will now increase to $1.47 billion by the end of March 2013. Yet, Liberal finance minister Mike de Jong claims that in less than five weeks earlier, he will forecast a balanced budget for 2013. This is “voodoo economics” in the least and massive misrepre-

sentation in the worst. As Carole James has pointed out, this balanced budget assumption is based on coming up with “magical monies.” How is this possible? Carole referred to the concept of “selling the farm”which means that monies will be raised by selling of assets that are already owned by

the people of British Columbia. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book for self-styled “capitalists” who find it so easy to preach against so-called “socialists.” You simply take the taxpayer owned property, sell it off and then you can claim that you balanced the budget. You

are not creating wealth through your free enterprise system – you are selling off the farm to pay your debts. This emphasizes what many clearthinkers have been saying for years, that the B.C. Liberals are much less fiscally responsible than they claim to be. If an NDP government were doing

Zoos a good way for children to learn There will always be zoos, which means closing our zoo in Aldergrove will only allow a different facility to buy its stock. Many of the animals in the zoo were injured or pets that could not be released into the wild. I think kids and adults realize their impact on the environment when they actually see what it is effecting. I know after seeing the majesty of a lion or strength of the grizzly that it speaks to me more than a picture on some brochure trying to raise funds. I think it’s a great way for kids to learn. These are not like the archaic days. They are not small metal and cement pad cages. They have nice enclosures with suitable stimuli and proper diets. Zoos can serve a greater purpose than just entertainment. They can educate the public and provide care and homes for exotic animals that are in need. Zoos can take in the animals but it costs to care for them. Thus we are charged an admission. Also, many zoos have a breeding program for near-extinct species. Do you think we should just let animals go extinct? I think that would be so sad. After all, they are only going extinct from us hunting or destroying their land, but I guess we don’t owe that to them. Awna Gilding

Province fumbles release of missing women inquiry report Robert Freeman Black Press

Marilyn Renata has been waiting 15 years to see justice done for her step-daughter, Cynthia Feliks, whose DNA was found on serial killer Robert Pickton’s farm. Feliks was also among the 20 cases of missing women that Crown lawyers decided not to pursue in court after Pickton was found guilty of murdering six women. And now it appears the B.C. government won’t give the families of the missing women an in-person delivery of a commission of inquiry’s report before it’s released to the public via the Internet on Dec. 17. “To deny us the opportunity of being at the report’s release is another knife in our hearts,” said Renata, a Rosedale resident. “The inquiry cost several millions of dollars,” she added. “Mostly spent on the attorneys for the Vancouver City police and the RCMP and the salary of the commission lawyers.” “To say that they won’t spend the money to put us up in a hotel for one night so we can be there on Dec. 17 to see the report being released is tantamount to saying that ‘we aren’t

worth the money,’” she said. But a ministry spokesman said Friday that details of the release are still being worked out, which suggests the government may yet release the report to the families in an in-person setting and cover their travel expenses to Vancouver. Attorney-General Shirley Bond issued a statement Thursday saying the families will have “confidential access” via a secure website to the 1,448-page report at 9 a.m. Dec. 17. At 1 p.m. the report will be live-streamed for public access. “We certainly understand how difficult this process has been for the families, and we want to be as accommodating as possible while working within the requirements of the Public Inquiry Act,” Bond said. “We understand the families may have different needs,” Bond said in a statement, “and in addressing those, we are still in discussions with them on arrangements for the day of release to ensure we are being as accommodating as possible.” Ernie Crey, brother to Dawn Crey, whose DNA was also found on Pickton’s farm, said the 9 a.m. release hardly gives the families enough time to absorb the report’s content before

it’s released to the general public. Crey is asking Premier Christy Clark to “step in and direct that the final report be released not only on the Internet, but also in an in-person setting to the families, Inquiry participants and the press.” The Assembly of First Nations is also taking Clark to task for the “silent release” of the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry report. “We call on you, as the representative of the citizens of B.C. to release the MWCI report in a manner that honors the dignity of murdered women who lost their lives, seventy-seven children left behind and respects the families impacted by one of the most notorious crimes against humanity,” AFN National Chief Shawn Atleo wrote in a letter to Clark. Renata said she will be “shocked” if the report doesn’t criticize the police for their mishandling of the investigation and their failure to identify Pickton earlier as a suspect, which might have saved the lives of some of the missing women. “The investigation was a joke, as the report should acknowledge,” she said. “Our waiting for justice hasn’t occurred as yet.”

Passport to Christmas

Corporate success driving community events of community infrastructure used by many groups and events. That particular park will soon benefit from the Group’s perspicacious $45,000 investment in surplus no post guard rails from the Port Mann Bridge which will ensure the community grant for those upgrades will go even further – benefiting not only the motorsports events but the many other upgrades proposed for that key community facility. (You can go to w w w.hop ecommunitypark.ca for more information on that project.) Most of these companies are not often heard of in Hope, as they do their business out of town, or because they are tucked away far from the retail core. Their relative obscurity belies the fact they are key money importers, economic engines, and ambassadors for our community. Their out-of-town contracts bring profits back to local employees and suppliers, and their professional service to businesses and individuals throughout the Fraser Valley and beyond reflects on all of us. As we celebrate the buylocal flavour of moonlight madness, the availability of evening shopping, and the hard work of our local retail outlets, it is important to remember that not all local businesses have store fronts and shiny consumer products destined for a prominent spot under the tree. Industrial services in construction, transportation, pipelines, and road building have a strong presence in our community providing needed jobs, services, and much more – lets ensure they also receive proper credit for what they do. A simple thank you will go a long way next time you see one of these owners, employees, or neighbours in the grocery line. AdvantageHOPE salutes the contribution of all local businesses and looks forward to a successful and collaborative 2013. Tyler Mattheis is executive director of AdvantageHOPE, Hope’s economic development agency. He can be reached at 604-860-0930 or info@advantagehope.ca.

Last Friday was a showcase of volunteerism and holiday spirit as our community enjoyed a winter carnival in the park and moonlight madness - two events that together made a memorable evening for many families, including my own. The retail business participants were obvious; however less apparent business contributions provide equally critical support to this and other community initiatives. The bustle of Christmas shoppers at the Cat’s Meow, the glow of neon open signs from businesses along 6th Avenue, Wallace Street, 3rd Avenue, and the rest of the downtown combined with the colourful lights of the Hope Towing hayride and the magnetic pull of the inflatable games in Memorial Park to announce the Tyler arrival of the Christmas shop- Mattheis ping season in Hope. After my own family’s shopping was done, and “the tinies” were relatively safe careening down the crazy carpet run in Memorial Park, I had the opportunity to speak with some of the businesses who contribute not only to these events but to many others. Tri-West Contracting and Talarico Excavating contributed staff time, equipment, and planning that made the snow hill a reality on Friday - and this isn’t the only event that these Hope-based companies sponsor in our community. Hope Motor Sports Group boasts many corporate members including Tri-West Contracting (Jim Lasser), Talarico Excavating (James Talarico), Rusty Nuts Mechanical (Dusty Smith), Silver Skagit Heavy Duty (Wayne Smith), and Lordco Auto Parts (Scott Medlock). Together, those companies contribute tens of thousands of dollars to events such as the Summer Smash, Show and Shine, and Brigade Days - events that in turn drive tens of thousands of dollars worth of consumer spending in our community. The Group also contributes time, money, and resources to the Sixth Avenue Sports Bowl - a piece

JENNA HAUCK / BLACK PRESS

Will Cook of the Coquitlam Express tries to get the puck away from Eric Roberts of the Chilliwack Chiefs during last Wednesday game at Prospera Centre.

Coquitlam deals Chiefs another home-ice loss Black Press

For the second time in three days, the Chilliwack Chiefs blew a lead on home ice, dropping a 3-2 decision to the Coquitlam Express last Wednesday at Prospera Centre. In a game that was disturbingly similar to the Dec. 2 meltdown versus Trail, the Chiefs looked great early and awful for the rest, losing to Coquitlam for the first time this season and dropping their record to 19-8-1-1. The only thing close in the first period of this one was the score. Chilliwack dominated the opening frame, but only led 1-0 through 20 minutes on a goal by Spencer Graboski. The 19-year-old scored at 11:30, with linemate Trevor Hills doing a lot of work to set him up. After some good board work by Tanner Cochrane in the right corner, Hills nabbed the puck and

moved behind the Coquitlam net. He came out the left side, then went back and came out the right side. He went back and came out the left side again with a shot on Express netminder Cole Huggins. The goalie made the stop, but Graboski knocked in the rebound for his sixth of the season. Shots on goal through 20 minutes favoured the Chiefs 16-5. Things fell apart in a middle frame oddly reminiscent of the second period collapse versus Trail on Dec. 2. Again, it was a costly gaffe that turned the game. On Dec. 2, it was Josh Halpenny giving the puck away behind the Chilliwack net. Last Wednesday, it was Ben Israel coughing up the puck on a Chiefs power play. The first-year defenceman lost it at the Chilliwack blueline and watched Brandon Morley take off on a breakaway. With plenty of time to plot strategy, Morley went to the backhand, slip-

ping the puck through the legs of Chiefs netminder Mitch Gillam to tie the score at 1-1. Coquitlam’s John Siemer had a good period two. The California native almost had a goal when he dipsy-doodled around Cooper Rush on a solo dash. Gillam robbed Morley on the rebound to keep it tied. But on Siemer’s next shift, he did the same thing to Ben Masella and fed a cross-crease pass to Mitch Nardi, who put the puck upstairs for his fifth of the year. Three minutes later, Cal Hofford put a seeing-eye point shot past Gillam to put the Express up 3-1. Shots on goal reflected the lopsided play, favouring the visitors 19-10. Making matters worse, Josh Hansen literally crawled off the ice at the end of the middle frame, and did not return for the start of the third.

He never returned, and Hills moved up to the top line, leaving the Chiefs without their top goal scorer. Chilliwack had a bit more jump in the final frame, and put 20 pucks on net, but the two-goal hole proved too deep. The Chiefs made it a somewhat exciting finish, closing the gap to 3-2 with just under two minutes left. A Shay Laurent point shot came off the end boards to Hills, who punched it home for his seventh of the year. Gillam came to the bench with less than a minute left, and Chilliwack had an offensive zone faceoff with 16.9 ticks remaining, but the Express cleared the zone and escaped with the W. The three stars were Huggins (first), Gillam (second) and Hills (third).The Fortis BC Energy Player of the Game was Hills. Announced attendance was 1,709. The Chiefs take on the Nanaimo Clippers on Friday at Prospera Centre at 7 p.m.

Horak’s heroics sink Marlies Abbotsford Heat’s 3-2 win snaps three-game skid

Roman Horak’s power-play goal late in the third period lifted the Abbotsford Heat to a 3-2 road victory over the Toronto Marlies on Sunday. The Marlies had rallied from a two-goal deficit in the final frame, but with Toronto defenceman Paul Ranger in the penalty box, Horak collected a rebound off Ben Walter’s initial shot and put a shot past goalie Ben Scrivens

Toronto score on strikes ROMAN HORAK (13-9-1, 27 points) by Greg McKegg sits second in the and Brad Ross. North Division behind AbWalter, who missed the botsford. previous three games with an

undisclosed injury, notched two assists in his return, while Abby goalie Barry Brust stopped 16 of 18 shots for his eighth victory in nine starts this season. The Heat visit the Rochester Americans on Tuesday before returning home for a Friday-Saturday set against the Texas Stars (7 p.m. both nights, Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre).

Heat to host teddy bear toss Friday’s game vs. the Texas Stars marks the Heat’s second annual teddy bear toss, which benefits the Abbotsford Christmas Bureau. Fans are encouraged to bring a new or gently used stuffed toy to toss on the ice after the

home team's first goal of the night. The teddy bears will be collected and donated to Abbotsford families in need. Last year, the Abbotsford Christmas Bureau helped 837 families, including 1,419 children

and 65 seniors. Approximately half of the families were sponsored, and the other half came directly to the food bank to collect their Christmas food hampers and gifts. Heat president Ryan Walter said the teddy

bear toss event is part of making Abbotsford "a better place to live." "This spirit of giving is incredibly important during the holiday season," he said. The weekend also features a two-for-one ticket deal. When fans

purchase a ticket for the teddy bear toss game, they get a free ticket to Saturday’s game. If they cannot attend, they can donate the ticket to the United Way and give a Christmas outing to a family in need.

HUNSBEDT Stephen Norman

“Loved, Honoured and Respected” It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Stephen Norman Hunsbedt on Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at Fraser Canyon Hospital at the age of 71. Born in Duncan BC, January 20, 1941, he was the first of four children to Alma & Irven Hunsbedt. Stephen spent his early years in Shawnigan Lake and in 1954 he moved to Vavenby BC with his family. Stephen stayed in the Vavenby area where he started his logging career at 17. A few years later, he met and married Margaret, March 31, 1962. Stephen and Margaret started their family and had three children while living in the Vavenby area until 1971. During that summer they moved to Hope where Stephen began a new Cat Logging job for G&F Logging. Stephen spent the rest of his career as owner operator of Hunsbedt Logging, a career he had a huge love and passion for. Stephen and Margaret stayed in Hope after retiring. Over the years, Stephen joined The Lion’s Club, Ducks Unlimited and coached baseball. With the love of his life, they travelled extensively to many sunny destinations that had to have a Casino with a great card game. Stephen’s love for a great poker game sometimes came second to ocean, creek, lake or river fishing as it was a toss up to what he should participate in. Always the family man, many huge get-togethers with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, Stephen will forever live in our hearts and be deeply missed by so many. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Margaret; daughter Lynda, son James (LeeAnne), daughter Sharran; 5 grandchildren, Stephen (Serena), Brian, Larissa, Alexia and Kraig; 3 great grandchildren, Ebony, Roy and Jamie-Lynn; brother Stan (Diane); sisters Gayle (Mike) and Cathy (Jim) and many nieces and nephews. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Greggain, Dr. Switzer, Murakami Clinic and all the fabulous staff at FCH.
