Bear caution signs are missing Seven have been stolen in the Hope area since July
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Several yellow bear warning signs are missing around Hope. The Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee uses them on trails to warn residents when bears are spotted in the area. However, seven of the 10 signs funded by the local Rotary club have been stolen since July. “It’s really frustrating,” said com-
mittee chair Lydia Koot, In addition to the yeladding that the commitlow bear caution signs, tee doesn’t have the funds a couple of the white to replace signs. “They’re “You’re in Bear Country” not there to beautify the signs erected by the discommunity.

He
also couldn’t confirm whether the district has any replacement signs in inventory. Even though the last bear call in Hope was on Nov. 25, Koot said it’s normal for bears to come out of hibernation in the winter to look for food. Anyone with information about the missing bear signs can contact Koot at 604-860-4558 or lkoot@ hopemountain.org.

Hope is plugging in a fast charger
Hope is one of 13 communities in the province getting a direct current (DC) fastcharging station. The unit will be installed at the visitor centre on Water Avenue and requires only 20 to 30 minutes for 80 per cent
charge. The Level 2 charging stations (240 volt) which are slated for the recreation centre take four to eight hours to reach full charge. Hope also has a 90-amp vehicle charger on Wallace Street in front of district hall which was pro-
vided by Sun Country Highway at no cost. “It’s extremely encouraging to see such widespread interest among communities across the province in hosting and operating electric vehicle charging stations,

A Highway Thru Hell cameraman captures the rescue of a man and women involved in a crash on Highway 5 at Falls Creek on Jan. 11. Icy road conditions caused a northbound SUV to slide under a semi truck, triggering the tractor trailer to jackknife and pin the driver and passenger inside the vehicle under the trailer. Hope Search and Rescue, assisted by paramedics and Hope RCMP, used the jaws of life to remove the passengers and medevac helicopters were called in to transport them hospital. Working in tandem with these teams, Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue was able to clear the tractor trailer and SUV, as well as subsequent accidents, to reopen both lanes in under two hours. The Highway Thru Hell production crew will be filming season two in the area until April.

Jesse West guilty of first-degree murder
followed by
Chelsey Acorn, 14 was found buried near Hope
Vikki Hopes Black Press
As Justice William Grist pronounced Jesse Blue West guilty of the first-degree murder of 14-year-old Chelsey Acorn, her mom let out a clap and a “Yes!” in B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack on Monday morning. Family members supporting Lisa Acorn then cried and hugged one another in relief at the verdict which sees West, 60, receive an automatic life sentence with no parole eligibility for 25 years. Chelsey’s cousin, Stacey Laybolt, and her younger sister, Breanna, spoke on behalf of the family outside of the courthouse. “We’re very happy that justice has been served … We’re just glad that this monster’s off the street and he’s not going to do this to anybody else,” Laybolt said. Breanna said she wanted people to remember her sister as someone who was “vibrant, beautiful and just loved life.” Chelsey was reported missing from an Abbotsford foster home on June 10, 2005. Her remains were found April 8, 2006 in a shallow grave near the Carolin Mines exit off the Coquihalla Highway outside of Hope. She had been buried naked, and an autopsy determined that her skull had been crushed with a large rock sometime in the fall of 2005. West, a former long-haul trucker from Surrey, and his

son, Dustin Moir, now 27, of Mission were charged with her murder in 2007. Both went on trial in November 2009, but West’s proceedings were severed from Moir’s two months later. Moir, who had been in a relationship with Chelsey, was convicted in February 2010 and also received a life sentence. Both of their trials relied much on evidence gathered during a “Mr. Big” sting in which undercover police officers posed as members of a criminal organization that
hired the pair, individually, to work for them. West and Moir were shown separately in undercover footage confessing to Chelsey’s murder in a meeting with the “crime boss.” In West’s footage, he told the boss that he killed the teen because she was going to report to police that Moir had sexually assaulted her. He said the three drove to a wooded area, and he dug a deep hole while Chelsey and Moir went for a walk. When they returned, West said he approached Chelsey from be-
hind and strangled her. The father and son then buried her in the hole, disposed of her clothes and threw into the nearby river the shovel used to dig the hole, West said. He testified at his trial that his confession was a lie so that he could gain favour with the boss. He claimed that his son had killed Chelsey during an argument at a campground over her supposed pregnancy, and his only role was to bury her body. West also alleged that, despite testimony from several witnesses, his relationship with Chelsey was platonic, based only on her involvement with his son. However, the judge said he found West’s testimony to be “disjointed, improbable and inconsistent.” Grist said all the witnesses were credible and he believed that West had been in a sexual relationship with the teen. Grist said despite inconsistencies in West’s reports of the murder, he said he had no doubt that he was guilty of killing Chelsey and that it was “planned and deliberate.” Following West’s conviction, Laybolt said that she hopes something is learned from the death of Chelsey, who had been described as a troubled teen. “She could be an example so this doesn’t happen again. If we could do something as a society to help these children, instead of judging them, that would be worth it.”
Off-duty RCMP officers nab would-be thief Two off-duty RCMP officers recently nabbed a would-be car thief in Chilliwack, putting themselves in harm’s way. Police said one of the officers, Hope Staff Sgt. Suki Manj, was on the phone and looking out the front window of his residence when he saw a man riding a bike pull into his driveway at about 5:20 a.m. on Jan. 13 and start breaking into his truck. “Despite being only in shorts, the officer left his residence in minus five-degree temperatures to confront the would-be thief,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. After a “lengthy struggle” with the suspect, she said, Manj asked his wife, Cpl. Tammy Holling-
sworth, who was also off-duty, to get help. “Neighbours began coming out of their homes to assist the officers,” Wolbeck said, and uniformed police officers soon arrived to arrest a 25-year-old Chilliwack man. Both officers suffered frost-bite to their feet, Wolbeck said, and Manj suffered “severely pulled back muscles” from his struggle with the suspect. The suspect was released from custody and returns to court in February. Wolbeck said the public has high expectations of RCMP officers and “this is an example of that expectation being met.” “These officers confronted the suspect, despite the potential danger to themselves,”
she said. Manj and Hollingsworth thanked their neighbours for com-
ing to their aid and for putting themselves in harms way. Last month, another
off-duty RCMP officer in Chilliwack nabbed a suspect in a property offense.

Masks ordered at care homes for those without flu shot
Jeff Nagel Black Press
This year’s severe flu season is killing or hospitalizing far more elderly care home residents than usual, prompting Fraser Health to declare a health hazard and invoke special powers to protect the vulnerable. Anyone going to a residential care or assisted living facility who hasn’t had the flu shot this year must now wear a mask and practise stringent hand hygiene while there, chief medical health officer Dr. Paul van Buynder ordered last week. The infection-prevention directive issued under the Public Health Act applies to all staff, volunteers and visitors. “We’re in the midst of an outbreak, there’s a public health risk and these are frail elderly that need to be protected,” van Buynder said.
There have been flu outbreaks at more than 20 long-term residential care homes in Fraser Health so far this year – more than twice as many as in each of the previous two years. “The rate of people who are dying is much higher than in previous years,” van Buynder said, adding flu fatalities so far are triple the number at care homes for the last three years combined. “Well over 500 people have been ill.” There have been more than four times the number of flu-related hospitalizations from long-term care facilities than in a typical flu season, he said. “It doesn’t seem to be as severe in the other health authorities at this stage. It’s a response that’s happening in Fraser because we’ve got much more activity than the others.” Although long-term care residents are generally vaccinated

Buynder and other public health officials continue to face opposition to their immunization programs. Some online commenters denounced the announcement last week as a scare tactic to benefit pharmaceutical firms. Van Buynder said there are strong anti-vaccination lobbies in pockets of the Fraser region and he’s not surprised those people continue to “ignore the serious consequences of influenza and won’t help protect” vulnerable groups. “I’m disappointed for the families of the vulnerable who are being hospitalized and who are passing away from vaccine-preventable disease and diseases we can intervene on because they want to push those messages.” More than 75 per cent of full-time health care workers in Fraser are vaccinated.
Patti MacAhonic wins NDP nomination for Chilliwack
Patti MacAhonic, former executive director of the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, won the NDP nomination for election candidate in the Chilliwack riding Saturday. “We are going to make a positive change in Chilliwack,” MacAhonic
said, after the ballots were counted, and she was declared the winner over challenger Dennis Adamson. “We are going to have an NDP government,” MacAhonic vowed. “We’re going to work together and make that happen.”
This was Adamson’s second time running for NDP nomination – he was a party candidate in the Chilliwack-Hope byelection – and despite losing the bid twice in one year, he’s not ready to put provincial politics on the back burner. “It’s not the end of

the road, it’s just a speed bump,” said Adamson. “It was disappointing that I didn’t win but I have to give it to Patti and her crew. They managed to do an excellent job in a very short time of getting the vote out. She delivered a rousing speech and she won it fair and square.” The Fraser Valley Regional District Area B director also said he believes the NDP will do a better job in government and will be support-
ing the party’s quest to win seats in the months ahead. BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix confidently told the crowd of about 200 gathered in the Rotary Hall Theatre at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre that “this is NDP country.” Those were the same words Dix used a little over a year ago when Gwen O’Mahony was nominated the NDP candidate in ChilliwackHope and went on to win an upset byelection

victory, breaking the BC Liberals’ long hold on that riding. Dix said O’Mahony has made a significant contribution to the NDP caucus since becoming an MLA, and both she and MacAhonic will make “an extraordinary team” of candidates to carry the NDP banner in the next provincial election. “It’s going to be a satisfying day in May,” he said, when two NDP MLAs, both women, are elected in the two Chilliwack ridings. O’Mahony, now the NDP’s skills training critic, called on party members from both ridings to work together to elect MacAhonic because her Chilliwack-Hope constituency office is “incredibly busy” answering
calls from the Chilliwack riding. “I need the help,” she said. “”We need to get Patti MacAhonic elected.” As candidate, MacAhonic said her Job-One will be putting together a strong campaign committee as she takes on the challenge of winning the traditionally conservative riding. But she acknowledged her “underdog” status saying, “I’ve been the underdog many times and many times I’ve beaten the odd odds… I thrive on challenge” and she committed herself to “building a stronger future for the people of Chilliwack.” “As an underdog, you can do remarkable things,” she said. “You can make a lasting difference.”

Daycare offers Reggio Emilia approach
The House of Children has recently reopened as a licensed group daycare for infants/toddlers and children aged three to five. Pronounced in the Halq’me’ylem language as “Lalem Ye Mamele,” the facility is located along Highway 7 on the Chawathil First Nation reserve. Since November, staff have been creating a holistic program which is modeled after the Reggio Emilia approach to preschool education
and childcare. “It is where the environment teaches and nurtures and stimulates the child, and where the educators facilitate and build the curriculum upon a child’s interests and developmental needs, and where the curriculum development involves the parents and community,” said facility manager Lousha Angel, who lives in Hope. “It is well known around the world that the Reggio Emilia ap-
proach to early childhood education is considered to be one of the most advanced educational systems at the present time.” House of Children has been designed with warm earth tones, creative visuals, art displays, baskets, rugs, comfy places, beautiful music, flowers, and windows that reach down to the floor allowing in natural lighting. “When a child enters through the door, we want him or her to feel
welcome, appreciated, loved and nurtured immediately by what they see, hear, sense, feel, and smell. After all they have to spend all day here, we want them to feel wonderful the minute they arrive,” said Angel. “Equally important, and at the same time, we, as the educators, want to create a stimulating curriculum based on the child’s interests and developmental needs, and by doing so, we hope to evoke the child’s natural curiosity
in order for the child to be fully engaged while exploring, creating, problem solving and learning, so they feel excited about coming here.” Angel has 24 years of experience in the childcare field and received a Diploma in Early Childhood Education from the University of the Fraser Valley. For the past 12 years, she has been involved in First Nations Head Start on-reserve, developing holistic programs
for young children involving several components such as culture, language, school-readiness, health, nutrition, emotional competence, empathy, life-skills, family participation, and social support. Angel works with ear-

Opinion Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
The need to limit omnibus bills
If the federal Conservative government hasn’t already thought about its penchant for omnibus bills in Parliament, it needs to. The Idle No More movement has focused some of its attention on changes to federal legislation like the Navigable Waters Protection Act and Environmental Assessment Act, which are rolled into an omnibus bill. These bills, often part of a budget, give MPs little chance to debate important issues because there are so many items jammed together. The Conservatives did not invent this strategy, but they have honed it to a fine art. Omnibus bills began appearing regularly during the five years the Conservatives governed with a minority, and were often crafted in such a way as to keep at least one opposition party from voting against the government. While this was an understandable legislative strategy, the need for such omnibus bills does not exist when there is a majority government. But the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper likes the approach, because it limits the usefulness of Parliament and the ability of its critics to draw much public attention. That worked fine when the critics were solely from the opposition parties. But when they are from outside Parliament and are energized by a variety of causes, as is Idle No More, omnibus bills have the potential to do a great deal of harm. The harm comes from emasculating legitimate opposition in Parliament, where differences within a democracy need to be discussed. If too many people believe Parliament doesn’t work any more, and this leads them to do serious damage to Canada’s economy because of their frustrations, omnibus bills become very dangerous. The Conservative government has nothing to fear from its opponents in Parliament. It has a majority, and it should be ready and willing to hear criticism of its plans within an elected assembly. The prime minister would serve the interests of all Canadians if he pledged to restrict or even eliminate omnibus bills for the remainder of this Parliament’s term. Idle No More may be a loose and disorganized movement, but it has the potential to serve as a force for either positive or negative change. The federal government needs to choose a path which is working towards positive change — on all types of issues. - Black Press

Smart meter deniers’ last stand
Tom Fletcher The news was trumpeted with alarm here on Vancouver Island, which along with the Gulf Islands is the heartland of tinfoil-hat opposition to smart meters. Of the 140,000 power customers who didn’t have a wireless meter by the end of the year, many have simply refused. Now BC Hydro has sent letters informing them “we can no longer delay the installation of a new meter at your home.” “StopSmartMetersBC” sent out a panicky e-mail advising its resistance movement to brace against “storm trooper tactics” from BC Hydro staff, and urging phone and fax attacks on their local MLA office. “Anger and outrage should be ex-

pressed, in a quiet way, so that we don’t sound hysterical, but people are being threatened, police called, etc.,” the anonymous e-mail helpfully suggests. BC Hydro has also confirmed what I told you a few months ago. Those bogus locks, chicken wire cages and important-looking signs, which were sold like modern-day snake oil, have no legal effect to prevent the utility from working on its own equipment. These obstacles to inspection have been and continue to be removed, along with dangerous grow-op bypasses and fiddled mechanical meters. The technical arguments against wireless meters have been demolished. False news reports and website claims still circulate, but no fires have been attributed to the installation of 1.7 million wireless meters in B.C. About 1,200 faulty meter bases have also been replaced at BC Hydro’s ex-

pense, and as crude power-theft bypasses have been removed, the incidence of electrical fires, already rare, has dropped substantially. Another popular myth is increased electricity bills. Yes, if your bypass is removed, your bill will go up. Like gas pumps, power meters are required by federal law to be accurate. Which brings us back to Team Tinfoil, which has been sold a cascading series of fantastic tales about the effect of wireless signals that are already ever-present in all modern communities. A Toronto-based expert group called Bad Science Watch has tackled claims of “electromagnetic hypersensitivity” head-on. I highly recommend their 10-page report and qualifications at www.badsciencewatch.ca. In plain language, with references to the best available scientific studies,

it describes the double-blind tests that prove people who claim this sensitivity are not actually able to detect when they are or are not being exposed to wireless signals. No XMen candidates have come forward. It also exposes key “activists” in Canada. The most prominent is Dr. Magda Havas, an associate professor at Trent University who has “developed a career denouncing the safety of low-frequency electromagnetic radiation.” She gives speeches, promotes her book and has worked with one David Stetzer to promote an “EMF filter” to sell to those who insist they feel what science shows they don’t. Havas has appeared on TV “news” shows with “activist-entrepreneur” Kevin Byrne. His website appears to be a hub of cell tower and smart meter scare reports, but it’s interspersed with product pitches for EMF Solutions Canada, of which Byrne is co-

He doesn’t run a lurid scare website, but he’s appeared on CBC and CTV as some sort of authority. (The main hazard emanating from TVs these days is bad information.) As the election approaches, a fight is gearing up between the NDP and the B.C. Green Party for the ignorant, superstitious and angry vote.

Letters Tourism brings more profit than oil
Re: Common good more important than profit, Letters (Jan. 16) Great letter, Jerry Riches! Perhaps Mr. Fletcher would receive more accolades writing in the U.S. than in Canada – conspiracy theories seem to have more credibility there than here.
We all need to remember that big business’ priority is to make their stockholders happy with profits – not caring about damage done to our environment. As taxpayers, we will have to pay for damages when – not if – there are oil
spills. Our tourism and fisheries bring more profit to our province in one year than the oil business will in eight years. If the pipeline and tankers’ proponents ‘buy or bribe’ our government’s agreement, we will need a lot more of the antidepressants that another writer
referred to as being used. On that note, check your figures – the population of Canada is less than 35,000,000, we are not yet at one in two on antidepressants, however if this ‘deal’ (for the oil companies) is allowed to proceed, we may be! S. Hayes
I have sent the following letter to Transportation Minister Mary Polak: On behalf of the B.C. Aviation Council, I would like to commend you and your government on the Aviation Strategy for B.C. you announced on Dec. 21, and your commitment to the aviation and aerospace sector in this province. While we do not have comprehensive economic impact numbers for the sector as a whole,we know that aviation is vital to the health of the prov-
ince. For example, every year B.C.’s airports serve 22 million passengers and support 31,000 direct jobs — with thousands more indirect jobs generated in multiple other sectors. Vancouver International Airport alone generates $5.3 billion in total revenue annually, and people employed at YVR receive $1 billion in annual wages. With a network of 290 land-based airports and aerodromes, heliports and water aerodromes, it is clear that the aviation and aerospace
industry has an enormous role to play in the economy and growth of British Columbia. We know British Columbians like to fly: 42 per cent of B.C. households report buying airline tickets every year, compared to 29 per cent nationally. The industry also fuels tourism and innovation and allows the province to connect to the world for business and leisure. Aviation education, maintenance and technology are also important aspects of our industry. BCIT
operates the largest aerospace technology school in Canada,providing British Columbia with the opportunity to be a worldwide centre of excellence for aviation. For 75 years, the BC Aviation Council has represented and advocated for the industry, and we look forward to working with you and your ministry in building a future based on our proud aviation heritage.

supported by the U.S. Surgeon General and Medical Health Officers’ Council of BC. Children, teens and adults should be protected when they play outdoors. Tobacco use remains the largest single preventable cause of death and disease in B.C., killing more than 6,000 British Columbians each year. Second-hand smoke is linked to the death of up to 140 British Columbians each year. In total, tobacco use costs the BC econo-
my $2.3 billion annually. We know that smokefree outdoor places increase the motivation for smokers to quit or cut back. With the majority of people starting to smoke before the age of 18, eliminating smoking in public places creates healthy role-modelling so youth are less likely to even consider taking up the habit. The Canadian Cancer Society has been a supporter of BC’s Smoking Cessation Program, including quitnow.ca,
which has seen almost 150,000 orders for nicotine replacement therapies placed in just over a year. We believe the government has made great strides to helping reduce smoking rates in our province but we need to do even more. Protecting British Columbians from the harmful effects of second-hand smoke outdoors and from exposure to smoking behaviours needs to be a top priority for all politicians.
Smoking rates in British Columbia are the lowest in the country at 14 per cent. However, in B.C. in 2012 the number of men and women who died from lung cancer was approximately double the number of those who died from breast and prostate cancer combined (2,400 vs. 1,160). To learn more about

YOUR
National knife registry needed It was with great sadness that I listened to media reports of the Richmond murder trial of Jean Ann James, who was convicted of killing her best friend with a boxcutter in 1992. We saw the horror that boxcutters caused in the wrong hands on Sept. 11, 2001. All of the knife owners reading this should be ashamed. How many more lives must be wasted before our government takes action? I encourage everyone to write
their MP and demand, at the minimum, a large RCMP bureaucracy for registry of these weapons. In addition, there ought to be a law which limits the capacity of the handles to
a maximum of two disposable blades, and another law mandating that the blades be stored separately from the handle, all under lock and key. Alex Lornie

Canadian singer and guitarist Stephen Palmer is performing at the Hope Station House on Feb. 1. Raised on gospel, country and blues, old time influences combined with a love of Doc Watson made Palmer a good fit for folk-rock groups opening for legendary acts in the 1960s such as Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, and Fleetwood Mac. He’s also shared the stage with acoustic artists like Valdy and Fred Eaglesmith. After 45 years as a traveling musician, Palmer now prefers the sweeter and gentler tones of his acoustic six and 12 string guitars. He draws his musical inspiration less from Jimmy Hendrix and the Rolling Stones and more from country and folk legends like Pete Seeger, Woody Guthrie,

Sports Young Korean team wins men’s bonspiel
Barry Stewart Hope Standard
Give these guys a few years and they might be up against Team Canada at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, Korea. “Team Seoul” was a late entry into the 16-team Men’s Bonspiel at the Hope Curling Rink last weekend — but the age 17 and under Korean squad ended up in first place overall. The junior team is currently training in Richmond, picking up tips that they can take home with them in a few weeks. Their coach, known as “Jimmy,” said he had been in Canada as a player in 2006 to 2009. “I know how Canadians are good at playing curling, so I want to develop my team’s skill and experience through this time. I am hoping my junior team could be an Olympic team in 2018 in PyeongChang. “I saw this bonspiel in the Curl BC yearbook,” said Jimmy. “It was a long way, driving from Vancouver, so we were tired to get there before the first draw — but the generous and kind people made us feel free.” Club iceman, Roman Petryk said the team had a tough challenge in the opening match, against Hope’s Al Trick rink of Evan Empey, Seamus Shields and Don Wiens. “They had to go to an extra end before winning,” said Petryk, who placed fourth in the C-event. Team Seoul’s lead, In-hok Kim said, “It was fun! We found that even the senior players were all strong.” Second, Min-Woo Kim said, “It’s so precious a memory for me. It was my first bonspiel and I learned a lot.” Jeong-Jae Lee, Team Seoul’s third said, “I want to experience many bonspiels like this. I saw the players’ delivery then I was disappointed because it’s so different form from us. We were playing nervous.” “The thing is, I want to come back soon!” enthused the skip, Seok-heon Lee. Unlike the Koreans, there were three teams — whom shall remain nameless — that had perfect records in the bad way, going out with three straight losses. That gave them more time to watch the

“This was the lowest number of teams we’ve ever had,” said Petryk. Club president Galen Toy said the bonspiel used to attract 28 or 32 teams, but it was down to 24 last year. “I hear the women have decided to cancel their bonspiel, February 1 to 3. They had only 10 teams last year and they couldn’t even get that many this year,” said Toy. “It used to be a fun event, that attracted a lot of teams from out of town. “The low attendance seems to be a trend in B.C. and per-
haps across Canada,” added the president. “We’ve just signed up for the Lillooet spiel this coming weekend and it’s going to be a combined women’s and men’s event, as there were only eight teams for the men’s event. Curling clubs are having a tough go, lately.” Still, Petryk is hopeful for the club’s mixed curling bonspiel, which runs from March 1 to 3. “We have nine teams signed up so far,” said Petryk, “and there are some out of town teams that always come, that haven’t signed up yet. We’re hoping for 32 teams.”
