Residents in Hope are taking action to voice their frustration over the current property tax increase. A group led by Ray Zervini has launched a petition demanding fiscal restraint from council. They want to see zero tax increases for the next three years and a review of all current and future spending. The petition has garnered about 1,000 signatures in two weeks. “The taxpayers have had enough,” said Zervini. “Things have got to change a little bit. It’s not just Hope. Communities all over B.C. are having this problem.”
The general tax levy for all classes in Hope increased eight per cent this year. Some individual homeowners have seen higher increases due to changes in the assessed value of their properties, an increase in school tax, an increase in Fraser Valley Regional District tax, and an increase in the BC Assessment Authority tax levy. Zervini hopes the petition will not only send a message to the district, but also to the provincial and federal governments, that residents are tired of having expenses downloaded on them. He’s planning a rally in August, coinciding with the regular council meeting, to raise awareness about these concerns. He said the group will also present the district
with a list of ideas they’ve come up with to reduce municipal spending in an effort to be more cost-efficient. Suggestions include reducing town hall staffing, lowering school district expenses by closing Silver Creek Elementary, and no longer seeking government grants for projects requiring matched funding by the district. “If you can’t afford it, then don’t do it,” said Zervini. “We have to start looking at other ways to cut costs.” While Mayor Susan Johnston acknowledges that taxes have increased considerably this year, she noted that the district is currently backed into a corner. “We have to do what we think is
right,” she said. “We have an obligation as mayor and council to pay the bills and we can’t pay the bills unless we increase taxes. We’re trying to do the best job we can with what we have.” As for the proposed no tax increases for three years, Johnston said it’s possible but would have severe consequences. “Everything will come to a screeching halt and the following year we’ll declare bankruptcy because there’s no alternative,” she explained. “We’re not doing this in spite of our taxpayers. We’re doing this because we’re looking after their needs. Those needs and costs continue to rise.”

B.C. deficit tops $1.1 billion Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government finished the last fiscal year with a deficit of $1.15 billion, according to the audited public accounts released Tuesday. That’s up from $968 million that was projected as the deficit last year, an indication of the difficult task facing the government to balance the budget in the current year.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the government reduced its spending $668 million in the fiscal year ended March, compared to what was budgeted. But resource revenues, mostly natural gas, were down $1.1 billion from the 2012 budget. Health care spending was up $585 million, education spending rose $300 million and social services spending went up $50 million compared to 2011-12. Total program spending increase 2.6 per cent,
Search team looks for missing person in Boston Bar Hope Search and Rescue was contacted by the RCMP on Saturday to assist in locating a missing person near Boston Bar. The woman was declared missing five years ago. After a review of the file by police, Hope Search and Rescue was asked to perform a search of a property down by the Fraser River. However, the search team was unable to locate the woman. The file remains open. In other search and rescue news, Dennis Adamson, Area B electoral director for the Fraser Valley Regional District, visited the group’s building on July 10 to present them with a $1,500 grant-in-aid. The funds will be used for the acquisition of search and rescue equipment and to support this year’s 50th anniversary celebration.
higher than the target of two per cent de Jong has set for this year. Deficits and continued spending on capital projects pushed the province’s total debt up $5.6 billion to $55.8 billion. “We’ve seen the largest debt increase in the history of British Columbia,” NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth said. “And this is a government that ran around during the election campaign saying it’s going to be debt-free B.C.”

Government has no preference for B.C. shipyards Tom Fletcher Black Press
BC Ferries has received approval to construct three new medium-sized vessels, and the B.C. government is leaving it up to the corporation to decide where they are built. “Certainly we’d be very supportive of the ships being built in British Columbia,” Transportation Minister Todd Stone said Tuesday.
“Government does not have the purview to dictate to BC Ferries who can and cannot participate in their procurement process. That’s internal to BC Ferries.” BC Ferry Commissioner Gord Macatee announced approval Tuesday to replace two old ferries scheduled for retirement in 2016. The 48-yearold Queen of Burnaby serves the Comox-toPowell River run, and
the 49-year-old Queen of Nanaimo sails on the Tsawwassen-Gulf Islands circuit. BC Ferries announced Tuesday it will invite qualified bids for two replacement ships with capacity for up to 145 vehicles and 600 passengers. A third with room for 125 vehicles and 600 passengers will be used for peakseason service on the Gulf Islands run and replacement duty
when the other two are undergoing maintenance. Qualified Canadian and international shipyards will be invited to bid, with a contract to be awarded by January 2014. BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan said the focus is on cost savings and standardization of vessels, many of which now have different deck heights and dock requirements. The Coastal Ferries
Act requires the BC Ferries Commissioner to approve capital expenditures. The order for these ferries specifies that construction must be open to a pool of bidders, and that food and retail services on board must not be subsidized by fare revenue. The last major contract was for three Coastal-class ferries, completed by a German shipyard in 2007 and 2008. They now
serve the main Vancouver Island runs. Corrigan said BC Ferries will examine whether new ships can be run on liquefied natural gas instead of diesel. That increases the construction cost, but fuel savings are projected to pay for themselves in as little as eight years. Brian Carter, president of Seaspan Shipyards, which operates two facilities in North Vancouver and Victoria Shipyards in Esquimalt, said the announcement is “great news for B.C. Ferries and great news for the overall marine industry in the region.” Seaspan is currently five months into design work, with construction due to start next spring or summer on a contract to build vessels for the
Royal Canadian Navy and Canadian Coast Guard. The company will assess its capacity to take on such a B.C. Ferries contract once it determines the specifics of the request, Carter said. While Seaspan has never built an LNG powered vessel, Carter said the manufacture of LNG equipment would likely take place off site. In terms of competing against foreign firms, he said the federal shipbuilding program is giving the company and the B.C. industry in general more competitive capabilities every day. “True efficiencies [will be] gained once we start constructing vessels.”

Keep your old power meter for a monthly fee Tom Fletcher Black Press
People who insist on refusing new wireless electrical meters can keep their old mechanical meter as long as it lasts, if they pay a monthly fee, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Thursday. Customers can keep their mechanical meters until they break down, their Measurement Canada accuracy seal expires or the customer relocates, the ministry said in a statement. The mechanical meter option is added to an earlier compromise with BC Hydro customers who still don’t have a digital smart meter, which transmits power consumption and status via radio signals. Customers can have a digital meter with its transmission

The Centre is hosting an open house on Saturday, July 27 to coincide with the Agassiz Slow Food Cycle tour. Find out how the experts at PARC-Agassiz are contributing to modern agriculture by helping the sector produce healthier, safer, higher quality, and more sustainable food for Canadians. Whether it’s integrated pest management, horticulture, or nutrient management, research at the Centre covers a range of topics important in the Fraser Valley and beyond. The open house will feature interactive exhibits, research displays, a tractor tour of the research plots, and a chance to meet the Centre’s research technicians, farmhands, biologists, and scientists. Highlights will include two cake cuttings, samples of fresh berries, and opportunities to learn about plants, fungi, bacteria, and more. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
function turned off, or keep their old meter, as long as they pay the cost of having the meter read manually. Bennett said the cost of meter reading will be about $20 a month. Customers who accept a deactivated smart meter will also pay a fee of about $100 to have it adjusted. The fee to keep a mechanical meter will be higher, because it will require a separate system to manually record and bill for power consumption, Bennett said. NDP energy critic John Horgan said he is pleased that the proposed fees will be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission before being implemented. The opt-out provision should have been made available from the start, instead of rushing to meet the government’s artificial deadline to install smart meters, Horgan said.
BC Hydro reports that 60,000 smart meter installations have been delayed due to customer request, while 1.8 million or 96 per cent of customers now have a functioning smart meter. Some people persist in the belief that the radio signals from smart meters are a health hazard, despite the fact that the periodic meter signals represent a tiny fraction of the radio frequency exposure from a mobile phone call. Bennett said mechanical meters are obsolete, and eventually every customer will have a smart meter, whether it transmits or not. “When somebody’s analog meter wears out, stops working or comes to the end of its useful life, there are no analog meters to reinstall,” Bennett said. “You can’t buy them anywhere.”

Opinion
Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
Verdict frustration misplaced For the past week, the streets of many major U.S. cities have seen protests and demonstrations – the vast majority of them peaceful – over the verdict by a Florida jury finding George Zimmerman not guilty in the killing of African-American teenager Trayvon Martin. The frustration felt by many African-Americans is understandable. For many, the verdict validates the feeling many have that a separate justice system exists for the black population – one that targets them unfairly as criminals and places less importance on them as victims of crime. That notion may have merit. In 2006, nearly one in 20 black men were serving time behind bars in the U.S., compared to one in every 140 white men. However, the frustrations expressed over the outcome of the George Zimmerman trial are misplaced. Under Florida’s controversial Stand Your Ground law, the verdict delivered was correct. Zimmerman, who is Hispanic, has never denied shooting Martin. However, this was done in self-defence, he contends. The injuries Zimmerman sustained in the confrontation with Martin are consistent with his story. Under the Stand Your Ground law, one only has to believe that one’s life is in danger to be able to use deadly force. This is problematic for obvious reasons. As U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has said, the Stand Your Ground laws “senselessly expand the concept of self-defense and sow dangerous conflict in our neighborhoods.” In a fearful society that fetishizes gun ownership, and grants citizens the right to use them under the slightest of provocations, deaths like Martin’s are to be regrettably expected. Nevertheless, under the word of the law, as flawed as that law is, the verdict delivered was just. How-
ever, history has shown that law is not consistently applied. Last year, Marissa Alexander of Jacksonville, Florida, was given a 20-year prison sentence for firing a warning shot as she was being attacked by her abusive estranged husband. It was the first offence for the African-American mother. During the attack she ran inside her home to grab her gun and fired a warning shot in an attempt to scare off her attacker. No one was hit, and her husband fled. However, the court ruled that since she left the scene of the attack, Stand Your Ground did not apply to her. And for that she will spend the next 20 years in prison. What is appalling is not that Zimmerman was acquitted, but that so many African-American suspects seemingly have a different burden of proof: they are guilty until proven innocent. The War on Drugs has systematically decimated African-American communities since it became policy in the early 1970s. Generations of families have been torn apart by this failed policy, as fathers were led away to prison for trivial offences, leaving mothers behind to raise children on their own. This destruction of the family unit began a cycle of poverty, violence, and addiction. The result is not unlike the fate suffered by aboriginal communities here in Canada from the residential school system. Likewise, it will take many generations for the wounds to heal. Convicting Zimmerman would not have healed those wounds, however. One injustice doesn’t make up for countless others, and in truth there could be no positive resolution to this tragic case. But given how African-Americans have been targeted by law enforcement and treated by the justice system in the US, their cries of “No Justice” ring true. - Black Press
Green MLA on coal and controversy B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher After climate scientist-turned-Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver had a taste of debate in the B.C. legislature, I asked him for his impressions on that and other issues. Excerpts from that discussion: TF: You did a study comparing burning all the world’s coal reserves and all oil reserves, showing how big coal really is. The federal government says that when you add up what’s actually being used in North America, carbon emissions from coal are about 30 times more than from oil. Now we have a symbolic coal ex-
port ban in Vancouver, which doesn’t apply to Port Moody or Point Roberts or Prince Rupert. Do you think there’s any significance to this? AW: There is no question that the biggest issue around is coal, because coal use is on the rise world-wide. Not in the United States, because they’re converting [power production] to natural gas. This is why American producers are saying, let’s ship it to Asia. California says no, Oregon says no, Washington says no. Vancouver says no, British Columbia, not sure. It’s pushing us to start thinking about what I think is going to be the greatest industrial revolution the world has ever seen, which is transformation of energy systems away from our combustion approach, which is essentially what we’ve been

We’ve gone from burning wood to now fossil wood, and fossil plants and fossil algae, to a much more modern era of production of energy through natural means, solar, wind, geothermal etc. TF: Liquified natural gas. The NDP says they are absolutely in favour of that now. AW: I have questioned the economics of it from day one. There’s a market differential that exists now. There’s that small window because Japan is moving from nuclear to natural gas. But we’re way behind everyone else. TF: Thirty years ago, Japan played Australia and B.C. off for metallurgical coal. Those northeast B.C. coal mines are back up and running again, but you’re seeing a similar thing here? AW: Yes. And if we start shipping

natural gas to Asia … the Asian price comes down, the North American price goes up. British Columbians haven’t been told that. TF: How has the legislature session been for you? AW: I sit there and watch the two parties. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. Rhetorical question, condescending answer. And I hope more British Columbians watch this, because this needs to change. And I think it can change. TF: The NDP opposition decides when you and Delta South Independent Vicki Huntington get your occasional moments in question period? AW: Yes, and if I’ve asked it’s been no problem.

Party member would be in Holland. AW: [Laughs] Yes. Certainly not in North America. There’s this sense of entitlement within the NDP to the ‘green’ vote. And I sense that the B.C. Liberals very much like our existence, as being not NDP. The reality is, we take as many Liberal votes, if not more. It’s because what it means to be ‘green’ has moved out of what the NDP view as green, which is a tree hugger.

I am starting to seriously doubt the quality of leadership in our government and their leader in the corporations owned by the government. Let me explain. There are whispers in the air of B.C. Hydro raising their rates – their reason being to fix the aging “dams and power lines.” My question is: how come B.C. Hydro did not maintain their systems properly over the years? It could be
that millions have gone to lone shareholders general accounts that could have been used for proper maintenance by B.C. Hydro. Secondly, how can the money losing B.C. Ferries explain the $300 so called “Safety Bonus” to their employees while raising their fares so high that ferry users can’t no longer afford them? Furthermore, how can our premier,
who lost the general election, consciously go to a democratically elected person and ask him to give up his seat in parliament, causing a very costly byelection? But then again the wishes of the electorate never did mean much anyway, did they? In the meanwhile, our premier is rambling about our bright economic future and our unemployment rate has been around six to seven per cent
for years. So who is the economic future so bright for? Is it the big international corporations or the average population whose cost of living is going up every day with no end in sight? As a senior citizen who is trying to survive on my very low Old Age Pension I am beginning to wonder how long I can “grin and bare it.” Eric Holopainen
Help from friends goes a long way for clinic There is good news about Anderson Creek Clinic…the “little clinic on the hill!” No doubt, many of you are aware of the services the clinic provides to the people of Boston Bar First Nation and to the community members of Boston Bar. Opened in 2010, it has been providing a variety of medical and dental services since that time. Now, this couldn’t have happened with-
out the determined efforts and generous contributions of many. We’d like to thank First Nations and Inuit Health which provided the funds to build the clinic and provide programming, and the Fraser Health Authority for providing a broad range of key medical personnel (including the nurse practitioners). Recently the clinic received some very good news from Lloyd Forman.
After attending a meeting in which equipment needs were discussed, Lloyd presented the clinic needs to Boston Bar District Council and the council approved a motion to provide the equipment (a storage shed, a locking filing cabinet for supplies, and a portable speculum). How fortunate we are to have so many good friends with such open hearts. On behalf of Boston Bar First Nation, I would like to thank everyone
for their assistance, expertise and unshakable faith in our little clinic. And in light of the gifts we recently received, I would like to extend special thanks to Lloyd for advocating on the clinic’s behalf and to the Boston Bar District Council for its generous gift. Clearly, with a little help from our friends we can go a long way! One hundred, thousand thanks! Chief Dolores ODonaghey
New B.C. Hydro infrastructure investment needed Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 11) While NDP energy critic John Horgan asserts there is no business case for a nation building project like the Northwest Transmission Line, a line that will bring power to a huge part of the province currently running off diesel generators, our government believes investments such as this are
exactly what BC Hydro should be doing. This project will open up world class mineral deposits and support new mines, like Red Chris, one of the top 10 copper gold deposits in the world. In fact, the Mining Association of BC estimates the line could attract more than $15 billion in mining investment, creating up to 10,000 jobs and generating $300 mil-
lion in annual tax revenues. None of this happens unless we build the line to provide the power these mines need. We need to ensure we have a diverse grid that can provide reliable power today, and into the future. That’s why we continue to support new, cleaner sources of power such as wind and run of river. Do these sources produce power at a
higher cost than what our heritage assets do? Of course they do. Like most other things, it costs more today to produce power than it did decades ago. But these sources are cleaner than alternatives such as coal or gas and less expensive than building brand new hydroelectric dams. We are investing in projects that are powering our needs today
and ensuring we will have the power we need for our future. The unprecedented opportunity in liquefied natural gas and other growing sectors such as mining must be supported with stable, secure power. This is what we are building. You can’t make these kinds of legacy investments that will benefit all British Columbians without putting pres-
End electric car subsidies in this province Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 10). Tom Fletcher’s article reiterates what we have been told for some time. A large part of the future BC Hydro rate increase is caused by the fact that expansion of generating facilities delivers new power at a rate higher than today’s rates. However, the government is bribing people to switch to electric cars, contributing to consumption increases which will cause rate
increases for us all. Provincial consumption is also high because, although the E-Plus contracts with residential customers expired decades ago, the government is choosing to grandfather the “half-price electric heat” offer for political reasons. Also, some large government buildings are still being heated this way. At the same time, the minister is telling us that we are producing more natural gas than we need, so we
For the record In a July 11 letter to the editor about the potential damage that could be caused from an oil spill in the Hope area, an error was introduced during the editing process. The author pointed out that there could be a potential for 6,600 barrels of unrestricted oil, not “kilo,” racing down towards the Coquihalla River.
should be consuming large amounts of energy to compress it and ship it overseas. Should the first step not be to switch to natural gaspowered cars, natural gas heating for almost all homes where possible, and for all large
government buildings? The grant money for electric car purchases should be diverted to incentives for this move. Right now, electric cars are causing the burning of fuels at distant power plants anyway, because that is where our “last

Hope artists Sharon Blythe and Georges Sauve will feature works of animals in acrylic paintings and stone carvings this August at the Hope Arts Gallery. Georges Sauve’s Raku pottery will be the centrepiece of the exhibit. His stone carvings show a special artistic instinct that guides his carving of the particular stone he uses – sometimes he looks at a piece of stone or granite for weeks before he decides what to carve. This instinct is blended with his vision of an animal. Sauve started his artistic path

using realism, but has recently turned to freeform and impressionist styles. Sharon Blythe’s Chinese Brush work has delighted viewers since 1985, as has her acrylic paintings for almost two decades. Phatt Paeries, which are made from clay and put on greeting cards, are her hallmark. Whatever the style or medium, Blythe’s work sparkles with fun and whimsy. The back room show runs from Aug. 1-29 at the Hope Arts Gallery, 349 Fort St. An opening reception will be held Aug. 10 at the gallery, from 7-9 p.m. Refreshments will be served.

A Hope artist is making his debut at the The Reach Gallery Museum this summer in Abbotsford. A 3 x 6-foot photo-based abstraction by George Rychter that is illuminated by light has been included in the 2nd Regional Fraser Valley Biennale. The goal of the exhibit is to challenge and provoke viewers with the opportunity to view new and recent artworks from across the region. It presents an eclectic range of visual art practices which explore and broaden artistic boundaries and mediums, and critically investigate visual art practices. “It’s a tremendous opportunity to show at a gallery of The Reach’s standards,� said Rychter, who is the owner of the Travelodge in Hope. “It’s also a pleasure to show with a lot of the Fraser Valley artists and hang with them, literally.� Rychter has a master’s degree in fine arts from the University of Regina and has artistic training in sculpture. He also enjoys drawing. Rychter’s work has been showcased at the Hope Arts Gallery, Chilliwack Cultural Centre, and Kariton Art Gallery in Abbotsford. “The pursuit of artistic expression is almost like an affliction. You’re driven to it because you’re built that way,� he said. “All galleries that show your work are doing artists a big favour.� The 2nd Regional Fraser Valley Biennale is presented by The Reach Gallery Museum in collaboration with four regional arts councils. The exhibit runs until Sept. 8. For more information, visit www.thereach.ca or call 604-864-8087.

Sports Muddy mayhem planned at Island 22 park The first annual Unbridled Mud Trials are set for Sept. 28
Barry Stewart Hope Standard
Take a five-kilometre run, then add 22 obstacles and lots of mud and water — and you have the first annual “Unbridled Mud Trials,” hosted by the Island 22 Equestrian Park Society. These are horse people, so they know plenty about obstacles and mud. They also have 25 years of experience in running horse events at the island, near the north end of Young Road in Chilliwack. Leave the horse at home though, and just bring your unbridled enthusiasm. Co-organizer Andrea Meister said she had seen the Tough Mudder races and thought that a shorter, funfocused event could be run by their club. She took her idea to fellow society member, Marnie Brown. “Marnie’s daughter was involved in mud trials and Marnie has been organizing triathlons and other events for years,” said Meister. That was in February of this year and the planning team has jumped through many hoops in a short time, including getting approval from the City of Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley Regional District, respectively the owners and operators of the island park. Now, the group has a website at unbridledmudtrials.com and a slick online registration site at unbridledmudtrials-eorg.eventbrite.ca. They also have a plan for the course and two months to bring it together for the Sept. 28 challenge. And yes, they have insurance. “We’re trying to keep the horse jump use at a minimal but we suspect to be using around five,” said Meister. “Some of these jumps are a pretty decent size, so don’t think because a horse can jump them it will be a simple step over for a human. “It’s difficult to say how high the highest obstacle will be. We’ll be having ropes, and climbing and we could easily go a good 15 feet (about five metres) or higher.” Meister said they’ve been keeping women and kids in mind in their course design, so there’s a balance between upper-body, core and lowerbody challenges. “We’ll definitely be having crawling obstacles — and definitely the army crawl through mud,” said Meister. “And we’ll have water, mud baths,
ropes, leaps, balancing... all those fun, crazy obstacles.” Some will be training hard for it — but not all — and that’s fine with the organizers. “I know a couple of people who are going to jump off their couch and walk the course,” said Meister. “Our main goal is to get people to have fun in the mud. It’s kind of childish! “We will have volunteers around, so if people need a little push we will help them out.... and if you can’t do an obstacle, it’s okay. You can go around,” said Meister. “If you do, though, you can’t win. “This is not officially a team run but a lot of people are running as a team with family and friends,” she added. “Every runner will have a timing chip and there will be prizes for the fastest in our three age division breakouts.” Shaun Koopman and his fellow Hope Secondary 2004 grads Chantal Richmond, Jesse Walters, Jay Booth and Ryan Henderson went in the Tough Mudder challenge at Whistler last year. Lauren Pilzner of Kelowna was their other team member. “We had a couple of sprains, strains and sore knees — but it was a blast,” said Koopman. “They had electrical shocks and ice baths and walls to knock down. It was taking from twoand-a-half to six hours to complete. The whole team stuck together, to help each other through. “They had water hoses, to hose off with after the race and they chartered buses to take us back to town. The bus was pretty dirty!” For the Chilliwack event, no buses are planned, so Meister said they are encouraging carpooling to help deal with limited parking space. Parking is by minimum donation of $5 — which is the only cost for spectators, who will have viewing access to 21 of the obstacles. Hosing may be supplied by the fire department, said Meister, but that is still in the planning stages. Various community groups will be running concessions and Meister said proceeds from the race will help the Island 22 Society improve the trails on the island. If you’d like to try it out, you’ve got a couple of months to train for it. Trouble is: registration is almost full, with over 400 already booked in. Organizers are looking at adding one more wave of runners — but if you want in, you should act quickly.

Test-pilot Amber Brown of Chilliwack touches down in one of the mud holes that will be featured in the first annual Unbridled Mud Trials at Island 22 on Sept. 28. Over 400 racers, from age 14 to 61, have already registered. It should also be a fun event for spectators, who will have good views of most of the obstacles.
