About 300 people lost phone service last Friday when communication wires were cut in the Richmond Hill area. Police were notified by Telus of the problem after an alarm was triggered at 9:30 a.m. Two Hope RCMP officers intercepted a vehicle leaving the scene within minutes. Two of the four suspects were arrested in the vehicle, while police dog services tracked down the other two. The RCMP found cutting tools and copper wire in the vehicle. A 51-year-old man and his 23-yearold son, along with another 23-year-
old man and 54-year-old woman were arrested for alleged mischief. All four suspects are from Nanaimo and were released on a promise to appear in court on April 30. Hope RCMP launched an initiative last February to combat the region’s wire theft problem. Several alarms and cameras were installed on communication wires in priority areas. Staff Sgt. Suki Manj said Friday’s attempted wire theft was the first incident in over a year. “Richmond Hill used to be the area that used to get hit all the time because you can literally walk up there and cut the wires,” he said. “This is just another tool the bad guys don’t know about or even if they do know about
it, they forget about it. In this case, the aggravating factor is that there was 300 people without essential phone service during that period which is a concern for police for safety reasons.” When communication cables are tampered with, customers can lose service for up to 48 hours while the damage is repaired. Technicians work to get service restored as quickly as possible, but they often have to replace hundreds of metres of cable. During this time residents are unable to make phone calls, including 911. “When someone steals our cable, they are potentially putting our customers’ lives at risk,” said Telus spokesperson Shawn Hall. “We are engaged in several creative efforts
with police forces to try and make it more difficult for thieves to steal the material. We really appreciate just how seriously police forces have been taking this issue. It’s really helped make a difference.” In the first half of 2012, Telus had well over 250 wire thefts provincewide, most of which were in the Lower Mainland. However, Hall said the company had less than 50 incidents after the provincial government introduced legislation in July to curb the sale of stolen metal. Residents who notice suspicious activity in their neighbourhood or tampering of wires are asked to immediately contact the Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750.

locate their operation and liquor-primary license to a smaller facility. The owners of Gold Rush Pub are looking to open a new establishment at 273B Wallace St., the former location of Driftwynd Bistro. According to the application, the new venue was chosen because it complied with the requirements for a neighbourhood pub. The existing building has all the facilities necessary for serving food and liquor, however, the kitchen would be modernized and the front room “made suitable for social gathering.” Princeton Way Pub Ltd. hopes to provide a meeting place that will feature freshly prepared food at budget prices. The new proposed name for the pub is The Local Pub & Eatery. “The attraction to bringing the pub to Wallace Street is twofold,” Princeton Way Pub Ltd. said in their application. “First, it is within walking distance of the Hope residential area. Thus, it is expected that many will walk to this gathering place. Secondly, the attending people will provide Wallace Street with a vibrancy.” The pub would be
open from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a week. The seating capacity at the establishment would drop to 60 and there wouldn’t be an outdoor patio. According to the proposal, if the pub expects a crowd for a fundraiser or special event, there would be trained door security and outdoor lighting. In addition, Princeton Way Pub Ltd. plans to install a camera system inside and out. Approval for the liquor license is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Public Safety & Solicitor General, and local government can only provide recommendations or comments towards the license application. Hope council voted last week to opt out of the process, which means the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch will conduct their own public notification. This may be limited to a sign on the building providing the public with contact information should they have any comments or concerns. The decision to approve the license will be based on the Branch’s regulatory criteria. Princeton Way Pub Ltd. could not be reached be press deadline.

Vision of Hope’s brand released
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
The draft brand for Hope has been identified as Being Connected: to nature, to community, to yourself. Background research, community surveys, stakeholder workshops and one-on-one conversations have all played a crucial role in shaping the community’s competitive identity. “This isn’t perfectly refined yet,” branding coordinator Alison Harwood said during an open house Tuesday night at the rec centre. “This is the bones, the essence of the brand.” The brand platform is made up of five elements, which include our vision, values, offer, best personality, and positioning. The vision for Hope is to have a vibrant downtown core with independent stores and a flourishing and inviting mountain culture, high quality of life and a place to learn and grow through adventure, and be environmentally and culturally sensitive. The things that Hope strives to value were identified as optimism with action, stewardship of environ-

ment and town, positive and progressive, and authenticity (grounded and honest). Hope’s intimate and stunning mountain setting is the community’s ultimate selling point as it “allows one to feel alive and connected to nature, the community and oneself while maintaining comfortable access to big city amenities.” The character traits that represent Hope’s best personality are relaxed, modest and calm, easygoing and friendly, adventurous, and helpful, kind
and polite. When it comes to positioning, Harwood said Hope is the transportation hub connecting the Interior with the Lower Mainland, providing a place to rest and recharge. The community is also an accessible soft adventure hub through which one can be emotionally moved by aweinspiring natural encounters. The foundation of the brand comprises of several attributes that the community can take ownership of. Among the physical attributes noted are walking
trails to spectacular natural features, gliding, clean pure water, and a plethora of easy “experiential adventure.” The local culture, accessibility to the Lower Mainland and Interior, and affordability to live and recreate were listed as rational benefits, while emotional benefits include being content and balanced, grounded, down-to-earth, and relaxed. Harwood pointed out that Hope’s brand doesn’t solely exist on its own, but rather is viewed in context with other brands that an audience may come in contact with. She said Hope can leverage overarching themes by crafting a local brand that is complimentary. The next step in the branding process is distilling the wording further to make it clear, succinct and as focused as possible. Once the wording is set, the logo for Hope will be crafted. This process may or may not include a tagline or slogan, but it will echo some aspects of the brand and act as a visual thumbprint. The final brand book will be released by June 2013.

Last-minute rush to return to PST
Tom Fletcher Black Press
The brief era of the harmonized sales tax ended in B.C. Monday, with a last-minute scramble by thousands of businesses to register as collectors of the revived provincial sales tax. About 100,000 businesses in B.C. are required to register and collect PST from customers. By the Easter weekend, about 80,000 of them had done so, said Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.’s minister of state for small business. “I think what most consumers will be doing is looking at their receipts,” Yamamoto said Sunday. “In most cases they’ll be paying the same as they did prior to April 1, unless you’re getting your hair cut, or buying a ski ticket or you’re paying
your golf membership or going to a restaurant, or buying a bike.” The good news for barbers, bike shops, restaurants and other labour service providers is that they see a seven per cent tax reduction. The bad news is that they have to administer two sales taxes, the PST and the five per cent GST, which continues to apply to goods and services. There are a few anomalies, such as insulation and weatherstripping, where sales tax falls by seven per cent as historic PST exemptions resume Monday, but most retail purchases will remain subject to both GST and PST at a combined rate of 12 per cent. Yamamoto said businesses can register online by going to www.pstinbc. ca or www.gov.bc.ca/pst

and selecting the registration link. Using incorporation documents, the process should take about 15 minutes. Business owners who don’t register immediately can still correct transactions made after the deadline, because the first online remittance of PST is expected at the end of May. Premier Christy Clark marked the transition with a video, reminding business operators to register. Clark noted that the HST was a benefit to the film industry,
manufacturers and other businesses that benefited from input tax credits. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said a statistically average family will be about $350 ahead with the removal of the HST, which was rejected in a mail-in referendum in June 2011. Ralston acknowledged that low-income people will lose the increased HST rebates that have been paid quarterly since the HST took effect in 2010. But he said that will be balanced by the reduced sales taxes they

It made addicts out of many people. An example was Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup. Many babies died because they were breastfed by mothers taking the nostrum and the child’s immature metabolic system couldn’t handle the narcotic and died from it.

Liquor taxes have also been adjusted to be unchanged with either tax, although restaurants will pay increased tax on liquor sales with the return to PST. A separate seven per cent tax on private used vehicle purchases also remains in place. It was imposed along with the HST to make private sellers subject to the same taxation as car dealers.

Health cash flow not unfair to Fraser region: Minister MacDiarmid addresses complaints on low per capita funding
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid says B.C.’s health funding formula doesn’t short-change Fraser Health, even though the health authority receives the lowest amount of funding of any region on a per capita basis. She spoke out after critics seized on a recent report of B.C.’s Auditor General that shows Fraser Health’s $2.8-billion budget for 2011/12 works out to average spending of $1,585 per resident, much less than other regions. It’s almost twice as high at $3,000 per person in the Vancouver Coastal region, while per capita spending ranges from $2,370 to $2,550 in the Interior, Northern and Vancouver Island health regions. MacDiarmid said in an interview the allocations fairly reflect the differing needs of each region. “The funding formula does make sense, but it’s not a sound
bite,” she said. “When you think about the complexity of some of our populations, like the Downtown Eastside, it’s not a matter of one size fits all.” Surrey Coun. Mary Martin, who chairs Surrey’s health advisory committee, is the latest in the region to argue the numbers suggest unfair treatment. “I just don’t get it,” she said, noting Surrey is the fastest-growing city in the province. “We are tremendously underfunded,” Martin said. “I find it a little bit astonishing and hard to believe that we are one of the lowest in per capita expenses.” Martin was careful to acknowledge the province’s decisions to expand Surrey Memorial Hospital and build the Jim Pattison outpatient hospital nearby. But she suggested the planned rebuild of B.C. Children’s Hospital should happen in Surrey, to better serve the younger population profile in Fraser, not at the current site in Vancouver.
“The ministry understands we are the fastest-growing region. But we’re always somehow behind.” Abbotsford politicians also recently held up the per capita funding gap as proof of inequity. MacDiarmid said Fraser’s growth has been recognized and it gets bigger annual funding increases – more than seven per cent on average over the past six years compared to less than five per cent elsewhere. In terms of per capita spending, MacDiarmid said comparisons to rural regions aren’t valid. “If you look at a health authority like Vancouver Island or Interior or Northern Health Authority, there are some communities that are incredibly remote and they do require more funding,” she said. “It’s just very difficult to serve them as efficiently as in an urban riding.” Demographics are also factored in – Vancouver Island has a larger share of aging seniors who are more likely to need medical care than relatively young Fraser.
Admitting pot use at U.S. border may get you banned
Jeff Nagel Black Press
Pot-smoking B.C. residents are increasingly being banned from entering the U.S. as American border guards try to stem the flow of Canadian marijuana tourists in the wake of Washington State’s weed legalization vote late last year. Blaine lawyer Len Saunders said he’s seeing more cases of B.C. residents being permanently denied entry after trying to carry pot across the border, thinking it’s no longer an issue. Because marijuana is now legal to possess under state law, Canadians caught bringing less than an ounce across aren’t charged, as they were in the past. “I’m seeing no prosecutions – zero since November,” Saunders said. “But there’s more confusion.” What happens now, he said, is pot-packing Canucks have their stash confiscated and are then interrogated under oath about their drug-using habits. Admit that you’ve ever smoked or used marijuana in your life, he said, and you’re deemed inadmissible to the U.S. because you’ve confessed to a crime of moral turpitude. “The key is to not admit that you’ve ever used it,” Saunders said, stressing he isn’t counselling anyone to lie under oath. He noted anyone could be questioned about past marijuana use at the border, whether Customs and Border Protection agents find pot on them or not.
Fraser Health serves by far the most people – 1.77 million compared to a population of about one million in Vancouver Coastal. But Vancouver’s hospitals get more money – acute care spending there was $1.73 billion in 2011/12 compared to $1.63 billion in Fraser, according to the Auditor General’s report. Vancouver Coastal also got much higher allocations for mental health and addictions as well as population health and wellness, while Fraser got more for residential care and home and community care. MacDiarmid said one reason Vancouver Coastal gets more for acute care is its hospitals are the only ones where some specialized procedures are done, including all organ transplants, bone marrow transplants and cochlear implants. She also noted some money spent through Vancouver Coastal actually serves Fraser residents, who often show up in Vancouver hospitals.
“It may be a preference thing,” MacDiarmid said. “They may opt for treatment in Vancouver for various reasons or perhaps work there during the day anyway. And in some cases it’s that Vancouver Coastal is the only place some services are provided. The health ministry has twice hired external consultants to assess the fairness of the funding allocations. “Each time it has been found to be reasonable and it hasn’t been changed.” While she maintains the formula is fair, MacDiarmid also supports increased use of patient-focused funding to encourage innovation by hospital staff, and improved primary care to help prevent chronic disease in the decades ahead. Demands for more cash in Fraser have also been made repeatedly over the years by Fraser Health’s senior executives, who point to a trend of rising hospital visits and the large and fast-growing population.

Marijuana users may want to be careful what questions they answer at the U.S. border, according to a lawyer in Blaine, Wash.
Past studies have found a majority of B.C. residents report using marijuana at least once. Saunders said he’s increasingly had calls from Canadians deemed inadmissible over pot use who say they can’t believe it happened to them and must now apply for a tough-to-obtain re-entry waiver also required for anyone with a criminal conviction who wants to return to the U.S. A pot dispensary is expected to open in Blaine, he said, but the licence hasn’t been granted yet. “It’s legal to possess,” Saunders said. “So if you make it over the border you can buy it and you can use it.”
Saunders noted Washington’s legalization of pot doesn’t extend to use by minors age 18 or under. And anyone who brings a “truckload” of pot over the border can still expect to be prosecuted under U.S. federal law. Ironically, he said, while an admission of marijuana use in the distant past can bar you from the U.S. for life, convicted drunk drivers face no such problem. “If you have multiple DUIs you are admissible to the U.S.,” Saunders said. “A DUI is not a crime of moral turpitude because you didn’t have the intention to drive drunk. Because you were drunk.”

Carbon offsets are smoke and mirrors
The audit of the Pacific Carbon Trust raises many fundamental questions about the province’s claim to be carbon-neutral. Many people have questioned the scheme which forces public agencies to pay funds equalling $25 per tonne of greenhouse gas emission to PCT, a Crown agency. This money has come from the operating budgets of schools, hospitals and universities. PCT in turn buys carbon offsets from private organizations, so that a wooded area in the Kootenays was saved from logging, in part through this agency. It is highly questionable to take money from classrooms and emergency rooms to buy carbon offsets. It would make much more sense to give capital funds to various provincial agencies to physically reduce their greenhouse gas emissions through, for example, more efficient furnaces or better insulation. However, like many political programs, there is a large element of smoke and mirrors in this. The public are being told that government is reducing emissions, and some of them actually believe it. What is even more bizarre about this audit is that PCT and other individuals and groups that benefit from carbon offsetting were circulating information ahead of the release of the auditor-general’s report, and actively attempting to debunk it. Environment Minister Terry Lake, who otherwise seems to be a reasonable individual, bought into this, and said at a press conference “Who audits the auditor-general?” He clearly does not believe that there is anything wrong with taking money from schools and hospitals and redistributing it to private corporations which, according to the report, would likely undertake programs to reduce emissions anyway. The audit indicates that the entire carbon offset program needs a more thorough examination, and it should be curtailed until that more detailed examination has been made. In the meantime, if the government has money it can put towards reducing emissions, it needs to put it towards actual projects within the public sector — not to private corporations and non-profits. Reducing carbon emissions is a worthy goal. Government has a role to play, but must do so in a way that is seen to be an effective and practical use of tax dollars. - Black Press

Greenhouse gas leaks from trust
Tom Fletcher The Pacific Carbon Trust orchestrated a months-long campaign of calls and letters to discredit a report from B.C.’s Auditor General on its first two big carbon offset projects, before it could be released. Just as the audit report was about to be made public, the trust, a Crown corporation created at taxpayer expense, participated in the leaking of selected critical letters to media outlets. Then the Speaker of the B.C. legislature, Bill Barisoff, made a final, clumsy effort to delay the release of the report. As soon as it was out, Environment Minister Terry Lake tried to discredit it, by blustering about

all the highly paid experts who swore up and down that a forest reserve near Kootenay Lake, and a gas flaring reduction project near Fort Nelson, were bona fide carbon offsets worth $6 million of taxpayers’ money. The audit states in plain language, with charts and timelines, that the $6 million was basically given away for nothing. I look forward to further audits on this carbon offset scheme, assuming it survives after the May election, because these two projects aren’t the only boondoggles. The Pacific Carbon Trust was set up in 2008 as part of former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate change program. To make the B.C. government’s operations “carbon neutral,” the government and all of its agencies were required to pay the trust $25 per tonne for their carbon dioxide emissions from

fuel use. In 2011 alone, B.C. universities paid $4.46 million to the trust. B.C.’s 60 school districts paid a total of $5.36 million the same year, and the province’s six health authorities paid $5.79 million. The money is supposed to go to projects that capture carbon, thus “offsetting” the heating of schools, the fuel burned by ambulances and so forth. The 55,000-hectare forest reserve is known as Darkwoods. The audit shows that the Nature Conservancy of Canada decided in 2006 to buy it, using $25 million of federal taxpayers’ money. The deal closed in 2008, the same year the Pacific Carbon Trust was formed. From 2008 to 2010, the trust bought 450,000 tonnes of carbon offset, based on independent evaluations that all rested on the assumption that Darkwoods would be clear-cut logged.
Standard The Hope
Since the forest was already owned by Canada’s leading conservancy, this assumption makes no sense. Was the conservancy going to log it, or flip it to someone who would, after accepting $25 million in tax money to acquire it? Legally, it could not. (I would add that the assumption that logging releases all of the carbon in a forest is also false. Lumber actually sequesters carbon for longer than trees, which eventually die and rot.) The audit found a similar case against EnCana’s flare reduction program, which the company used on many wells before the trust started offering money. EnCana was saving money as well as reducing emissions without collecting offsets. Therefore, the audit concluded, neither of these projects was a credible offset because the emissions savings would have oc-

curred anyway. Here’s the next Pacific Carbon Trust project that should be audited. In a complicated transaction, the trust bought offsets from something called the Great Bear Carbon Credit Limited Partnership. Yes, this is the world-famous forest on B.C.’s North Coast that was subject to a preservation deal hammered out between the Coastal First Nations, the B.C. government and three U.S.-backed environmental groups. That was in 2006. The offset purchases were in 2009 and 2010, years after detailed preservation areas were mapped and codified in law. Again, the trust paid for forest that was already preserved.

Positive merits of Kitimat refinery profound I first heard of this concept from David Black a number of years ago. At the time I was skeptical of its chances. My initially negative attitude was based mainly on my experience of 10 years service on the board of directors of Imperial Oil. Since I was accustomed to the discussion of petroleum economics centered in Calgary, I saw no need for a refinery in Kitimat. That attitude was based on the fact that there had not been a new refinery built in North America in many years. And any needed increase in petroleum production was achieved by expansion of existing refineries throughout North America. But after my service with Imperial Oil, I went on to serve four years at Canfor which led to my nine visits to China in search of lumber markets. My exposure to the phenomenal expansion of China’s economy opened my eyes to the true merit of the Kitimat refinery concept. It made me realize that it would not be just another refinery relying on the North America market but rather a refinery that would supply the vast appetite of China for petroleum products. The challenge will be to draw the attention of Asian investors who would see the value to this investment. It appears
that David Black, after many years of effort, is nearing an agreement that could provide the vast capital infusion needed to make this refinery initiative a reality. The appetite for oil products for all Asia will continue to grow and the Kitimat refinery is ideally situated to take advantage. Asian countries, especially China, are very interested in securing sustainable supply of resources that will flow freely without undue trade barriers like surprises with taxes, regulations or tariffs. Canada has a good reputation as a free trade country that can be relied on as a dependable source of supply. Now is a very opportune time to attract the vast investment needed to make the Kitimat refinery go ahead. David Black, with his years of diligence, deserves our appreciation for displaying the foresight and courage to invest his time, money and reputation to help bring along this huge initiative. The positive merits of the Kitimat refinery are so profound that this project is really beyond any political persuasion. Any and all supporters of NDP, Liberal, Conservative or even Green should see the tremendous benefits that would come to B.C. with this project.
This initiative will involve the investment of many billions of dollars that’s for sure. It’s hard for any of us to visualize a million let alone a billion of any thing. So lets look at the “on the ground” facts of such an undertaking for all of us in B.C. Lets start with the big picture. When it comes to the benefits of a petroleum cycle from well exploration to the gas station, the jurisdiction that hosts the refining process enjoys a huge portion of the value addition to the raw material. For the KFC Project that would mean several thousand mostly trade union jobs for the multi-year term of the construction phase. It would also mean the creation of over 3,000 permanent jobs for the operation and supply support of the refinery when running. This refinery would be processing 175 million barrels per year which means the tax revenue that could go toward healthcare, education, vital services for the disabled and elderly would be immense. But job creation and tax revenue is not the only desirable feature of the KRC. It also would provide much lower risk to the marine environment. The shipments out of the refinery would
be finished product like aviation fuel, gasoline and diesel. These products if ever spilt would be much less impactful on the marine environment. They would also be transported in smaller ships. I know there are those on both sides of the political aisle that address this as a political issue. And I would disagree with both. This is a project that can be attractive to all political stripes. Trade unions would see a significant increase in jobs and memberships. Hospitals and schools across the province would see an improvement in government funding. Business activity especially in the challenged north west B.C. would be very positively impacted. And those with a concern for the threat of marine spills would see a significantly reduced exposure for the environment. Based on the huge positive impact this initiative could have on B.C., I think the question should not be if we want it....but rather, how can we help make sure that the petroleum world sees this as an attractive way to invest billions of shareholder capital. Jim Shepard, Retired president of Finning and Canfor, and past director of Imperial Oil
Move to renewable energy is long overdue
Never before has our economy been more directly underpinned by the health of our ecology, our environment. On the negative side: the financial costs of climate change are striking home even before we reach the pivotal climate change makebreak levels forecast by scientists. The devastation to property and lives, the loss of jobs and other economic
setbacks, from natural catastrophes like Hurricane Sandy are considerable. Record-breaking heat and drought in Australia is merely another example of how threats to our environment are devastating our economies as well. On the positive side: the renewable green energy industry has not only proven to be viable in Germany and China, it has also been shown
to be of much greater net economic benefit to national economies than fossil fuels. (Despite its maturity the fossil fuel industry still relies upon and receives substantial subsidization in Canada and the USA.) Green energy tends to create employment at 5-10 times the rate of fossil fuel projects. And profits and spinoff economic benefits
tend to be more broadly distributed. Moving to renewable energy is not only seriously overdue, its good business. A Feb. 27 press release from Laurie Throness (BC Liberal candidate for Chilliwack-Hope) calling on NDP incumbent Gwen O’Mahony to declare the same unequivocal support for the LNG industry – proposed by the BC Liberal government
in the recent Throne Speech – is based on a great assumption, and a tenuous thread. The assumption is that LNG proliferation is widely to the benefit of B.C., and the tenuous thread is that 1,000 local jobs are affected by said proliferation. The current bonanza in LNG production across the continent is based on the fracking process – one that poses
Editorial greatly oversimplified a complex issue The Black Press editorial (March 20) “Some realities about oil” made a number of good points, but it greatly oversimplified a complex subject. In particular, it made no distinction between the types of products
transported by pipeline and the people who may oppose them. It was not fair to assume that those opposed to diluted bitument and other crude oil pipelines also oppose LNG pipelines and plants. They
each do have their own set of risks that must be addressed separately, but the risks associated with pipeline ruptures are vastly different. Regarding climate change concerns mentioned, the article did

Hope’s location, transportation infrastructure, and cost of doing business are touted as advantages of our community over competing jurisdictions. But what do businesses who have actually relocated based on that assumption say about these advantages? To answer that question, AdvantageHOPE asked a relatively new company to our area about their decision to relocate to our area. Kent Peterson Design (KPD) is a screen printing business specializing in T-Shirts, sweatshirts, and the textile industry. Owner Kent Peterson has been in the industry in Vancouver since 1986, and has owned his own business since 2001. The following is an excerpt from an interview with Peterson. AdvantageHOPE (AH): What first attracted you to the Hope area, and Sunshine Valley in particular? Kent Peterson (KP): My exploration [of ] the Hope area came as a result of several factors. Business in 2009-2010 dropped drastically for my industry due in part by the economic collapse of the U.S. and the recession’s impact to local trade and tourism in general throughout B.C. and Vancouver.… My business could no longer maintain the high overhead of Vancouver manufacturing spaces. Landlords were hit hard with large tax increases for parking spaces and city taxes were already high.… Faced with the reality of the times I had to make a decision to move or go under trying to stay afloat in the high overhead of Vancouver. The decisions were tough to make. Where to go? [Through a series of contacts] a meeting was set and I made
the trip into Hope to discuss relocation to Sunshine Valley. After meeting with Ryan Ellan from Sasquatch Sign Company and a tour of the building he restored in Sunshine Valley for his sign & screen shop, we came to the realization that we could both mutually benefit from combining equipment and expertise in our respective fields together.… Relocating my shop or living in Hope or Sunshine Valley was not on my mind over my 26 years printing in Vancouver. Honestly who would imagine such a drastic relocation 170 kilometres from the source of their business and client base? Sometimes it takes a major event to make a major move…. If I could advise any person struggling to make a business work in a tough overhead market like Vancouver, it would be to rethink your business model and look at relocating

facilities are here and the location is ideal for the many reasons I listed above as was the case for my business. AH: How important is location for your business? KP: I think I have answered that question, but apparently location is not important. I just got a new customer from Whistler. There is a screen shop there so ? AH: As a silkscreener, you help get other people’s brand message out. How important is a branding to your own company? KP: Good question. In the past I never thought about branding my company. I had guaranteed contracts every year. Not the case anymore so now I have been making the efforts to do exactly
that. In this area I’m marketing the Sasquatch Sign Co. side and in Vancouver I’m getting the word out that I’m only 1 & 1/2 hours away. It’s catching on. AH: Is branding important to a community as well? KP: I think it is, but if branding and re-branding go on and on, over and over again, there is not much gained unless something comes of it. Targeting your community needs for new industry and employment are priority number one. So much good can come to Hope in many possible ways. AH: How does KPD positively impact the communities of Sunshine Valley and Hope? KP: Sasquatch Sign

Sports
Basketball program helps develop basic skills Barry Stewart Hope Standard
Three or four decades ago, Hope Secondary was known as a provincial powerhouse in high school basketball. A number of factors have come into play since then — including a sizable drop in the student population. As well, community-based programs for elementary-aged kids have been developed in larger centres, giving down-valley players a great head start in the sport. Now a local parent, pastor and volunteer coach is looking to bring some of that competitive advantage to Hope. Jeff Kuhn made some inquiries and has secured the Steve Nash basketball program for Grade 5 to 7 students, which he hopes to run this spring. “We used to have the Friday night basketball league for kids and since that stopped, I’ve seen the quality of our high school program drop,” said Kuhn. “We’ve got the athletes but they just haven’t had the time on the floor and we haven’t been prepping them enough. In Grade 8 and 9, we’re still teaching them the basic skills that they could have learned in Grade 5 and 6.” Kuhn said he has gotten commitments from parents and other adults in the community to help with coaching and he plans to use high school students to assist in coaching and running the score clock. Mustang alumnus and 2010 grad Linden Willock is among those who have offered to help coach. “Mike McNeill — Allison’s husband — is big with Basketball BC and he’ll be coming up to work with the coaches on April 10,” said Kuhn. Allison coached the Canadian Olympic women’s team at the London Olympics and her father, Alvin Towris, lives in Hope. “Some parents feel a little uneasy about coaching — but the Steve Nash program is pretty much a system. They supply a plan that runs step by step for each lesson, telling you what to be working on and how to do it.”
BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD
Organizer Jeff Kuhn is hoping to see all of these Grade 7 C.E. Barry students at the Steve Nash basketball program which is planned for an April 22 start. Front row (l-r): Maritza Botha, Trinity Walter, Emma Link, Dylan Younie. Back row: Damian Stephenson, Bethany Kuhn, Arden Poulin, Amber Dort and Alex Gregorash.
Kuhn said a great resource online is at coachesclipboard. ca, which he uses a lot. The website has videos, fun drills and games to practice the skills. The program teaches basic skills of footwork without the ball, shooting techniques, passing and catching, positioning — and “dribbling
with both hands – preferably one at a time!” “Kids need to learn how to look up when they are dribbling and how to dribble with their weak hand,” added Kuhn. He has the high school gym booked for the Monday and Thursday evening sessions, which are planned to start on
April 22. Now, it’s up to the parents and kids to show their interest and support. “I’d love to have 40 kids come out,” said Kuhn. “I’d love to have 80 — but we need at least enough for two boys’ and two girls’ teams. “We would practice on one night, probably using half of
the gym for each group, then on the next night we’d have games. I’d like to use the whole court, as it’s such a beautiful facility. Coaches will coach in their game but help ref the other one.” The cost is $50 for 13 sessions. The Steve Nash program supplies the insurance, coach-
ing materials, a reversible jersey and a draw-string gear bag. There are three registration sessions at the Blue Moose, starting this Saturday (April 6) from 10 a.m. until noon. Registration will also take place on April 10, from 7-8 p.m., and April 13, from 10 a.m. until noon.
