Laurie Throness, MLA-elect for Chilliwack-Hope, waves to supporters during his acceptance speech at the Best Western in Chilliwack on election night Tuesday.

The BC Liberals have reclaimed the Chilliwack-Hope riding. Laurie Throness will join a majority Liberal government in Victoria – something few pundits were expecting before the polls closed Tuesday evening. Despite an early lead, incumbent Gwen O’Mahony finished nearly 15 per cent behind Throness, capturing only 6,884 of the votes cast, compared to Throness’ 9,533. For O’Mahony, the sting of the loss

was evident. As supporters watched hopes of a majority NDP government fade, she reflected on her loss. “We respect what the electorate had to say and who they wanted to represent them. So, I congratulate Laurie Throness,” said O’Mahony, who won the riding last April in a byelection. “This was a difficult place to be in. Over the year of being MLA, people talked as if I was going to be around forever. As a politician you have to face the fact that you might lose.” She said she’s proud of what her team has accomplished. “We had such wonderful goals if we had formed government that I

think are still very important. Now is not the time to feel badly,” said O’Mahony. “I believed in the message of change for the better. We’re not going to give up hope at all.” The mood at the Liberal headquarters was decidedly different. “I feel humbled that ChilliwackHope has placed its confidence in me and I will not disappoint them,” said a beaming Throness. “It’s a humbling and very proudful experience for me. It is a good thing to taste the sweet taste of victory.” Throness acknowledged that there was some dissatisfaction last year during the byelection, which result-

Despite the loss, Henshall said he remains committed to helping build the party. “We are a grassroots party provincially,” he said, as early numbers trickled in. “But we’ve doubled our presence since 2009. I have a resolve to see a Conservative party established in this province.” Continued on 3

Prison sentence for Hope drug dealer Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

A 51-year-old Hope man has been sentenced to nine months in prison after pleading guilty to two drug charges. Gordon Ronald Max Walthers was arrested on Oct. 27, 2010 for unlawfully possessing cocaine and ecstasy for the purposes of trafficking near Hope. Intermittent police surveillance over a number of weeks starting in August 2010 determined that Walthers was operating a drug trafficking business from his home. On Oct. 27, 2010, the RCMP observed 51 visits involving 41 different people who attended the residence for two to three minutes. These individuals arrived on foot, bicycle and in vehicles. Later that day, the RCMP obtained and executed a search warrant at the home. Inside police found Walthers and seven other individuals, most of whom

were presumably there to purchase drugs. Police seized a total of 27.3 grams of crack cocaine in a bedroom as well as scales. The quantities found varied between .1 gram and 10 grams. The value of the cocaine was between $2,180 and $2,730. There were also 16 tablets of ecstasy with a value of $160, hundreds of various prescription drugs, a score sheet and replica handgun. “What was occurring out of his residence was analogous to a dial-a-dope operation, except the buyers came to his home rather than the other way around,â€? said B.C. Supreme Court justice William Smart, in his reasons for sentencing. “The offences here are serious because trafficking cocaine and ecstasy have serious consequences for society.â€? Crown counsel Finn Jensen had sought a sentence between nine and 12 months incarceration, pointing out portions of the pre-sentence report and in par-

ticular the concern of the author that Walthers did not fully grasp the seriousness of his conduct and lacked the motivation to attend counselling and other programs to help him abstain from the use of drugs. However, Brian Juriloff argued that a conditional sentence would be more appropriate for his client and one that combined all sentencing objectives, including rehabilitation. Juriloff stressed that Walthers had pleaded guilty and taken responsibility for his actions. He filed a number of letters from various individuals who spoke highly of Walthers’ generosity, support and good character. Juriloff also noted that Walthers has demonstrated, while on bail over the last few years, that he would not endanger the community if he was permitted to serve his sentence out of jail. Smart pointed out that this was not a “one-transaction offence by a young first-time of-

fender.â€? Walthers had 17 previous convictions at the time of the two drug offences, most of which occurred when he was younger, few involved drugs, and few resulted in a jail sentence. In fact, he was convicted of mischief just days before he was arrested and was on probation. â€œAs such, Mr. Walthers signed his probation order and promised to keep the peace and be of good behaviour and yet continued to traffic drugs out of his residence,â€? said Smart. “A lack of understanding is what emerges from the pre-sentence report and is consistent with his failure to attend counselling and other programs intended to assist him. This increases the risk of harm and of him re-offending in the future.â€? Walthers was sentenced to nine months’ incarceration for the first charge, and one month for the second charge to be served concurrently to the first sentence.

McKinnon happy with his election result From 1

Finishing fourth in the riding was independent candidate Ryan McKinnon with four per cent of the vote. The Hope resident said he’s grateful for the support he received and felt his rough around the edges approach resonated with voters. “It’s not as polished. People can relate,� said McKinnon. “Running for

the first time, having no signage and having not a lot of publicity, I was quite happy with the result.� As a major champion for child protection reform, he hopes to be included in a review of the Ministry of Children and Family Development. He feels there’s currently a lot of inefficiencies and unnecessary spending.

“Laurie [Throness] said to me at the Boston Bar all-candidates meeting that ‘if we get in to a majority government and I get elected, I will make sure you’re in Victoria if we do have a look at the MCFD and we’ll listen to your ideas,’� he added. Preliminary voting results show a total 19,292 ballots were cast in the riding.

Fraser River rises with snowmelt, rain Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Fraser River is rising fast as a result of rapid snowmelt from last week’s hot weather as well as rain since then. The B.C. River Forecast Centre on Monday issued a high streamflow advisory for the Fraser in the Lower Mainland, as well as further upstream in Quesnel, the Fraser Canyon and at Hope. The Fraser was flowing at 9,158 cubic metres per second at Hope as of Wednesday morning and that was forecast to potentially reach 11,500 by Thursday. “Given current rates of rise in tributary channels ... model results may be underestimating the rate of rise in the Lower Fraser,� the forecast centre cautioned. A high streamflow advisory means river levels are expected to rise rapidly, and although minor flooding in low-lying areas is possible, no major flooding is expected.

Students voted to re-elect O’Mahony Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

B.C. students predicted a very different outcome for Tuesday’s provincial election. The results of Student Vote – which organizes parallel elections for students under the voting age that coincide with the official election – saw an NDP majority in the province, and different results for the Chilliwack-Hope riding. In the general election, the Liberals formed a government with 50 seats, while the NDP formed the opposition with 33 seats. One Green candidate and one independent

were also elected to the legislature. But, based on over 100,000 student votes across the province, the NDP would have taken a large majority, with 54 seats and 38.6 per cent of the popular vote, while the Liberals would have taken 20 seats at 28.1 per cent of the vote. After learning about the democratic process, researching the party platforms, hosting candidate forums and debating the future of British Columbia, students from 17 elementary and high schools in the Chilliwack-Hope riding cast their ballots for local candidates.

Joe’s Restaurant has new owners

Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

KERRIE-ANN SCHOENIT / THE STANDARD

Chefs Hiro Takeda (left) and Jason Harper have taken over ownership of Joe’s Restaurant in downtown Hope.

Chefs Jason Harper and Hiro Takeda have always dreamed of owning their own restaurants. As fate would have it, they met each other seven months ago and immediately connected through their passion for food and fine dining. When the opportunity to purchase Joe’s Restaurant came up a couple months ago, they didn’t hesitate. Harper and Takeda took over operation of the Hope eatery at the beginning of May from Kathy and Steve Wyngaarden. “It’s an eye-opener for

sure. It’s exciting, but absolutely terrifying,” said Harper. “We’re looking at it as an entire dining experience – we’re not just focusing on the food. We want people to remember it.” Harper has been the chef at Joe’s Restaurant for the past year and worked in the industry for seven years. Takeda started his career at Newlands Golf and Country Club in Langley 10 years ago, and has since worked at restaurants in Langley and Vancouver. He spent the last three years in the kitchen at Camp Squeah. Neither chef has a lot of experience in front-

of-house operations, but existing staff members have assisted with the transition. Harper and Takeda are passionate about providing mentorship to staff and making a positive difference in people’s lives. They also want to foster relationships with residents by increasing their presence in the dining room and hosting a variety of

food tasting events in the off-season. “We want to get people out of their comfort zone when it comes to their regular dining experience,” said Takeda. “But it’s extremely important to have that link and build that relationship of trust first.” Harper and Takeda relaunched their menu last week, which includes

several items off the old menu along with some new selections. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are available. In addition to the regular menu, Joe’s Restaurant has added weekly fresh sheets that feature creative dishes. All entrees are prepared fresh inhouse daily, including the smoked salmon and duck bacon.

Research study completed Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

The Homelessness – A Rural Perspective study is now complete and finalized. The research was conducted by the Mennonite Central Committee for Agassiz, Hope and Boston Bar. Funded by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, the project aimed to provide a longitudinal profile of who is migrating to these communities, how this migration impacts homeless numbers and how service providers can modify their services to meet this need. “Having an understanding of what we need to work toward is critical to reduction and elimination of homelessness in our community,” said Gerry Dyble, executive director of Hope & Area Transition Society. “Without having a research paper that is specific to our community, we do not know in which direction to head. This paper is like our road map.” The study looked at data and information obtained from focus groups, individual questionnaires, community stakeholders and past research on homelessness in the area. It showed there is still much to learn from research on rurality, rural poverty, and homelessness. The migration of the urban poor to

A6 Hope Standard Thursday, May 16, 2013

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

Spreading wealth More money is being earned by fewer people. According to Statistics Canada, 10.6 per cent of the country’s income is now earned by the top one per cent of those who filed tax returns in 2010. The median income for those top earners is almost 10 times higher than the median income for the remaining 99 per cent. This disparity between the haves and the rest of society was the fuel for last year’s Occupy movement that spread around the world from Wall Street. It is a component of the First Nations’ Idle No More protests to reclaim their portion of Canada’s enormous wealth of natural resources, pumped and excavated from lands that once belonged to them. The gap between rich and poor has fired protest and unrest for as long as there’s been currency. Just ask the French, who disposed their monarchy when the population could no longer afford bread because of onerous taxes. In fact, Canada’s not doing too badly when it comes to dispersing income, ranking somewhere in the middle of the rest of the world. According to the Gini Index, a measure of income dispersion developed by an Italian statistician and sociologist in which a coefficient of zero means everyone has exactly the same income and one means all the wealth within a country is held by one person, Canada’s coefficient is .688. That’s lower than countries like Brazil (.784), the United States (.801) and Switzerland (.803). But it’s higher than the Netherlands (.650), Belgium (.662) and Germany (.667). The country with the most equal distribution of income in the world, according its Gini coefficient of .547, is Japan. Of course, all those statistics are meaningless the next time you check your bank statement. That’s the true measure of wealth distribution. Somehow, it’s never enough. - Black Press

Things you can’t say in elections B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Another election campaign has come and gone, with the ritual posturing of political parties and most news media searching for anything they can portray as a conflict. Now comes the time to wonder why not enough people cared, or informed themselves about the real problems of running this $40 billion corporation called the B.C. government.

Again we have seen the truth of former prime minister Kim Campbell’s observation that elections are no time to talk about serious issues. Indeed, there are some things you can’t speak of at all. Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm caused a stir at a candidates’ debate when he referred to constituents’ concerns that disabled children can cause difficulties in classrooms. He didn’t say classrooms should be segregated, although that’s a discussion worth having. He didn’t deny the need for more support for special needs kids. But his opponents immediately portrayed it that way, and media seized on the conflict despite the factual inaccuracy. West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan had a similar experience when he referred to his study

of poverty in that affluent area. He noted that there was a high correlation between single parenthood and kids in poverty. Picking on single mums, his detractors exclaimed, and that’s what got reported. The B.C. Conservatives kicked their Boundary-Similkameen candidate out of the party because he wrote an article saying women shouldn’t choose to be single mothers. You can talk about child poverty, as long as you only discuss it based on federal statistics that do not measure poverty. Christy Clark started doing this as soon as she became B.C. Liberal leader, one of several issues where she dispensed with the facts and tried to copy a popular NDP stance instead. She was all about families, which can of course be single people, single parents or pretty well anything

you want them to be. In fact the decline of the traditional family and the abdication of responsibility by many parents, fathers in particular, are central factors in the problem of poor and neglected children. But you can’t talk about that, at least not during elections. Whole areas of political discussion have devolved into euphemisms that are chosen because they can’t be defined. Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing,” for instance. What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it. Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they

Gas prices in the Lower Mainland are flirting with record levels but at least one industry observer doesn’t expect they’ll shoot too much higher. The average regular gas price in Metro Vancouver hit $1.495 per litre Tuesday, up about eight cents in the past week, while the average regular gas price in Hope was $1.399 per litre. Petroleum analyst Jason Parent, a senior associate at the Kent Group, said supplies have tightened and prices are up partly in response to the unexpected shutdown of gasoline refining units at a Suncor refinery near Edmonton. He said the outlook for the Lower Mainland depends in part on how long refining is

disrupted at Suncor. “It all depends on how long that lasts and how effectively suppliers are able to bring in alternate supply into that region,� Parent said. “Generally speaking, I wouldn’t expect it to get much higher.� Gas prices typically jump in the spring as more drivers take to the roads, cutting into gasoline supplies and putting upward pressure on prices. But Parent said the traditional seasonal spike happened earlier this year. He said wholesale prices paid by retailers have already risen about 14 cents in the last couple of weeks. “Retail prices up until the last couple of days haven’t really kept pace with that.� Gas prices here are also influ-

enced by the fact Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline, which supplies most of the region’s refined gasoline, is at capacity. Parent said the pipeline may have allocated slightly more capacity recently to crude oil shipments, leaving less flexibility to move more gasoline in response to jumps in demand. Motorists shouldn’t assume that they’re being ripped off just because gasoline prices are rising at a time that crude oil prices have remained flat. “Crude oil and refined gasoline are two different commodities with different supply and demand fundamentals,� Parent said. “Their prices can be moving in opposite directions at the same time for different reasons.�

Cancer survivor on sixth world cycling tour Vikki Hopes Black Press

Randolph Westphal has survived 28 cancer surgeries – four of them life-threatening – and a five-year hospital stay following a near-fatal crash on his bicycle. But the 55-year-old from Germany keeps on pedalling. Westphal began his sixth “world” bicycle tour on May 4, after arriving in Vancouver from Frankfurt. He is accompanied by his beloved Alaskan malamutes Nanook and her son Chinook. The trio have since cycled through communities such as Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster, Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, and Chilliwack with an overnight stay in Hope on Friday, May 10.

Westphal will eventually proceed to Alaska and back south to the Olympic Peninsula and Vancouver Island. In all, he plans to tally 40,000 km on his Raleigh Dover Lite Premium electrical bike over the next six months. By the end of the journey, he will have accumulated about 250,000 km among all six trips. His dogs sit comfortably and happily on a cart pulled by the bike, bringing the total weight – including gear – to 240 kilograms. On the back of his seat is a sign stating, “Never give up. Fight cancer.” “I’m biking around to show people what you can do when you have cancer. I want to inspire – never give up,” he said. Westphal and his dogs travel alone, unlike the large

entourages sometimes accompanying similar projects, and depend on the kind hearts of strangers. The Best Western hotel chain, for example, provides free accommodation for

Westphal in Canada, helping him to stick to his budget of $10 to $12 a day. Along the way, Westphal is a motivational speaker for groups such as university students, cancer support groups

and hospital workers. His is a story about survival and perseverance. When he was first diagnosed with malignant melanoma (skin cancer) in 1987, he was given six months to a year to live. That same year, he completed a 73,000 km trip from Colorado Springs to Alaska, setting a Guinness World Record for the longest bicycle trip with dogs. In 1996, during another one of his cycling tours, he almost died when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver and thrown into a ditch in Argentina. His dog Shir Khan – the great-grandfather of Chinook – died at the scene. He still bears the long, thick scars on his left leg

where doctors reattached his nearly severed foot. Westphal also suffered a major brain injury and spent five years recovering, including one year in a wheelchair. The doctors never thought he would walk again. His love of adventure, and support from people around the world who know his story, drew him back on the road. His favourite places to travel are B.C. and the Yukon because of their natural beauty and a climate that is suitable for his dogs. He has not ruled out another tour after this one. “I think I have a sickness called travelling,” he laughed. For more information, visit Westphal’s website randolphwestphal.de

Chilliwack player earns WHL draft Ryan Bowen selected as a fifth round bantam pick by Moose Jaw Warriors Eric Welsh Black Press

Ryan Bowen was sitting in science class on May 2 when he got the news. He was trying hard to focus on what the teacher was saying. Really he was. Then he saw his phone ring. It was his dad calling with some exciting news. The Moose Jaw Warriors had just selected the Chilliwack kid in the fifth round of the bantam draft. “They contacted me almost right away, and told me they were very happy to have picked me 94th overall,� Bowen said. And Moose Jaw general manager Alan Millar had more to say. “He said the team’s plan is hopefully to have me play as a 16-yearold and run their power play at 17,� Bowen said. “I hope I can live up to their expectations.� Heady stuff indeed for a 14-yearold. The right winger is back in town now, already working to get ready for training camp. Bowen will spend next season with the Okanagan Hockey Academy’s midget prep squad.

Spartan swimmers star with home-pool advantage Chilliwack’s Spartan Swim Club hosted their own meet April 20-21 at the Landing Leisure Centre, sending 30 local swimmers against 170 visiting athletes. The Spartans did well. Sean Deacon dominated the 10-and-under boys division with wins in the 100 and 200 metre flies, 100 and 800m freestyles and 200m backstroke. Deacon added a third in the 200m individual medley and a fourth in the 50m freestyle. In the same group, Calvin Dumont-Belanger swam to second in the 200m fly, third in the 200

and 400m freestyles and fourth in the 100m freestyle. Logan Sparkes was fourth in the 400m Freestyle, with Anton Stoeckly finishing fourth in the 200m breaststroke. In the 11-12 year old girls division, Anna Dumont-Belanger was first in the 400m individual medley and second in both the 200m fly and 800m freestyle. Kara Wismer placed second in the 100m backstroke and fourth in the 100m freestyle. In the 11-12 year old boys division, Myles Wheeler powered to sec-
