The Little Pear Garden Collective company stopped by Coquihalla Elementary School for a special performance last week to teach students about Chinese dance aesthetics. The group from Toronto, which specializes in Chinese traditional and contemporary dance, travels throughout Canada for annual performances, educational tours and commercial engagements. After performing several dances, students were able to try some of the moves that were exhibited. The Little Pear Garden Collective is supported through the Canadian Council for Performing Arts, The Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council.

Hope proposes 2.2 per cent tax hike Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Hope residents can expect a 2.2 per cent municipal tax increase this year if the proposed 2014 budget is approved. More than 35 residents packed into council chambers last Wednesday to get their first look at the draft 2014-2018 financial plan. The district’s property tax revenue would increase $153,000 this year to $7.1 million, contributing to an overall operating revenue of $10 million.

“This (general increase) is in line with many other jurisdictions who are also trying to keep tax increases checked while addressing operations and capital project demands,” said chief administrative officer John Fortoloczky. “What this means is a slight increase to the average homeowner/business owner. However, it’s difficult to say exactly how much more they will be paying as it all depends on changes to the assessed value of their property/ businesses for 2014 as determined by the BC Assessment Authority.”

The district not only faced rising costs for operations this year, but inflation to approved capital projects and wage increases mandated by the collective agreement. Addressing aging infrastructure needs in the community, such as repairs to roads and sidewalks, is also an ongoing challenge. “This infrastructure deficit challenge is a well-known issue and common to all municipalities,” said Fortoloczky. “It affects smaller municipalities like ours harder than larger more

dense municipalities who have greater potential to raise revenues and buffer rate increases.” In order to balance the proposed budget this year, the district made cutbacks in landfill operations and reduced the size of the public works staff by one. Fortoloczky said staff also went through a line-by-line review of department operational budgets and “took some risk in areas we thought were acceptable through incremental cuts.” Continued on 3

Hope Fire Department will be looking to defend its title this weekend during the Battle of the Badges match at Hope Arena. The annual game sees local firefighters face off against RCMP members from the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment. The firefighters prevailed 9-8 in an overtime thriller last year, but the real winner was the Cops for Cancer initiative, which raised about $2,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society. “This is a longstanding tradition that we look forward to every year. The players dust off their skates and come together to raise money for a great cause,” said Hope RCMP Cpl. Darren Rennie. “The rivalry between the police and fire department grows every year with a playoff-like atmosphere. I encourage all Hope residents and their families to come out and join the excitement and fun.” The annual event is

Measles outbreak alarms minister

Health Minister Terry Lake said his ministry is watching closely as Fraser Health deals with a potential outbreak of measles, which appears linked to a lack of routine vaccinations in school-aged children. Lake said he has not yet considered making vaccinations mandatory for school-aged children, as other provinces have,

despite some schools in the Fraser Valley reporting no vaccinations at all. “At this time we’re not going down that road, but we certainly want the public to be very aware of the importance of vaccination, and get the rates back up where they should be,” Lake said. Fraser Health has confirmed two cases and about 100 suspect-

Road repairs included in 2014 Hope budget From 1

For 2014, overall operating expenses are projected to be $9.9 million with capital costs totalling $2.4 million. Fortoloczky said operating expenditures include $1.1 million in an amortization expense which will go towards capital funding. The remaining amount will come from prior years’ budget surplus and respective reserves. For example, $100,000 from the fire services reserves will go towards funding repairs to Fire Hall No. 1, which houses a key water system pumping station. Other proposed capital project priorities for 2014 include recreation centre equipment replacement (HVAC and water system have already been approved), bridge rehabilitation program, major pavement replacement, Johnson Road ditch and road repair, bank stabilization and road repair on Othello Road, and pollution control centre outfall pipe relocation due to the flooding in 2012/2013.

ed cases in the Eastern Fraser Valley. Officials wouldn’t identify the school Monday, except to say it is in a Chilliwack community with a history of low immunization rates. Officials asked anyone who believes they are exposed to measles to contact their doctor before arriving at a medical facility. “We are urging individuals

who may have been exposed to the virus to contact their local Public Health Unit to be cleared before travelling during spring break,” said Dr. Paul Van Buynder, chief medical officer for Fraser Health. The measles warning applies to Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs and Hope.

A semi truck with two trailers loaded with lumber crashed on Highway 1 near exit 165 last week, shutting down eastbound traffic for four hours while crews cleared the roadway of debris. The truck was headed west in the fast lane, passing another tractor trailer, when the 34-year-old driver lost control and left the highway, crossing a large median before the truck came to rest on its side and completely blocked all eastbound lanes. The driver received minor, non-life threatening injuries. Speed and weather are suspected factors of the cause of the crash.

Massive sockeye run forecast for Fraser River

Jeff Nagel Black Press

Another huge sockeye salmon run is forecast to return to the Fraser River this summer, potentially even bigger than the modern record of 30 million that unexpectedly came back in 2010. The fish that are now on their homeward migration back to B.C. waters are the spawn of that massive run four years ago, which was the best in a century. Pre-season estimates of this summer’s run size from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans range from a low of 7.3 million to a high of 72.5 million, with the more probable mid-range forecast set at 23 million. Until the salmon begin appearing off Vancouver Island, however, there’s little way to know with certainty what proportion of fry that went out to sea survived and thrived in the marine environment. Much depends on ocean conditions, such as water temperature and the amount of food and predators they encountered. It’s been theorized that ironrich ash from the eruption of an Alaskan volcano in 2008 caused a plankton bloom that increased the food supply, contributing to the 2010 sockeye run. No volcano fertilized the North Pacific waters since then, but salmon watchers are waiting to see if a rogue geoengineering project had any similar effect. A Haida-led team controver-

sially dumped 200 tonnes of iron dust in the ocean in 2011 with the aim of trapping atmospheric carbon and boosting salmon returns. A 10,000-square-kilometre plankton bloom was later detected by satellites. Commercial harvesters, sport fishing operators and aboriginal fishermen, meanwhile, are all buzzing with anticipation over the potential run. But processors caution a huge record run could overwhelm fish packing plants that were pressed to their limit in 2010. “It was a large challenge and I’m not sure we could have handled very much more fish,” recalled Rob Morley, vice-president of production and corporate development at Canadian Fishing Co. (Canfisco). He noted the range of 2014 estimates is broad and salmon forecasting is notoriously inexact. But Morley said other signs coming in point to a very good year for sockeye all along the coast, including runs to Barkley Sound and the Skeena River. “We’ve seen very good returns of three-year-old fish this past summer,” he said, referring to sockeye that come back a year early and are called immature jacks. Strong coho returns also suggest good ocean survival for sockeye. Morley said processors hope a strong run can be verified soon enough for fishery managers to

approve early and steady openings, rather than a later, more compressed window. “If we are, in fact, seeing a lot of fish and get started sooner, it will help everybody handle more fish.” Sto:lo Tribal Council fisheries advisor Ernie Crey warned against allowing intensive commercial fishing too soon this summer without solid justification. “Everyone’s getting excited,” he said. “It’s great the forecast is looking that good. But we can’t forget that we’ve had three inquiries into failures of Fraser sockeye salmon runs. Things can go terribly wrong and people can be very disappointed.” If errors are made and managers decide mid-season they’ve allowed too much fishing, Crey said, the only place to compensate and ensure enough salmon spawn is to then curtail the aboriginal catch upriver. “It’s hard to be definitive about salmon. We only know enough to know that we don’t know enough.” Some commercial sockeye fishing was allowed last year, when about four million salmon returned to the Fraser, after a shutdown in 2012. DFO officials say Fraser sockeye appear to be gradually rebuilding since the disastrous 2009 run when just 1.6 million sockeye returned, triggering the Cohen Inquiry.

B.C. residents will be able to buy B.C. wine from grocery stores by early next year, with some stores connected to liquor stores that offer full selection including hard liquor. The provincial government released its framework for a major overhaul of liquor policy Thursday. It proposes a small number of new licences for Vintners’ Quality Alliance (VQA) wine sales from grocery store shelves, with future expansion to include B.C.-made craft beer under the same licences. Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap said all alcohol sales will be rung through at separate cash registers, with staff trained in an expanded “Serving It Right” course to check identification and sobriety. Customers will be able to stock up on groceries and alcoholic beverages in the same shopping cart, whether from in-store B.C. wine

or products from a connected liquor store. Changes to take effect by this summer include licensing B.C. wine and beer sale and tasting at farmers’ markets, permitting “happy hour” drink discounts at licensed businesses and removing the requirement for fenced beer gardens at approved outdoor festivals. Yap said the government is adopting a recommendation from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall and other health officials to tie prices to alcohol content, in an effort to reduce overconsumption.

The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with 670 private stores now in operation. Liquor stores are currently restricted to relocating no more than five km from their original location, but that restriction is being lifted so a licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province. Yap said that would allow either a government or private liquor store to relocate next to a grocery store. Another major change in the works is to wholesale pricing from the government’s monopoly Liquor Distribution

Branch. Currently private stores pay a 16 per cent discount off the government store retail price. Yap said the LDB will move to the same wholesale price for all stores, based on the value of each product, and retail prices will be set by a competitive market.

Teachers vote for three-step strike plan Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C. public school teachers have voted 89 per cent to give their union authority for strike action in three stages. B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker said there is no set schedule on when work-to-rule action would begin. “There will be no job action tomorrow, there will be no job action next week,” Iker said after the vote results were in last Thursday evening. “It will depend entirely on what is happening at the negotiating table and whether or not the government and the employers’ association are prepared to be fair and reasonable.” After a year of bargaining sessions with an expired contract, the BCTF still has not presented a specific wage and benefit demand. Education Minister Peter Fassbender urged the union to present its opening position as negotiation sessions resumed last Friday. Union members were briefed before the vote on the initial wage offer delivered by Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for B.C.’s 60 school districts. It describes pay increases totalling 6.5 per cent over six years.

Fassbender reiterated that class size and composition are up for negotiation as well as wages and benefits. Iker said the strike vote shows the members’ rejection of “unfair and unreasonable proposals that would undo the class size, class composition and specialist teacher staffing levels we just won back in a B.C. Supreme Court ruling.” More than 29,000 teachers voted, with 26,000 saying yes to the strike option that can be activated on 72 hours’ notice for 90 days. Details of the strike plan have emerged from several school districts, where BCTF members have voted to authorize the first two phases. Phase one is refusing meetings or communication with administrators, and working to rule on hours, except for pre-arranged voluntary activities. According to one summary released by the government, teachers are to arrive at school no more than one hour before class time and leave by one hour after classes, with no supervision of students outside of class time. Phase two is rotating one-day walkouts in districts around the province. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require a second vote by members to authorize.

Opinion

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

A new era for liquor in B.C. Liquor sales in retail stores are one step closer, with the provincial government unveiling some details about the standalone outlets which can be located within existing grocery stores. Liquor will not be sold in corner or convenience stores, which removes one of the concerns of those who opposed selling liquor beyond the existing sales network. Most convenience stores simply do not have the staff to oversee that the sales of such products conform to the desire to keep them out of the hands of minors. While it is true that such stores sell tobacco products, that is something they have always done, and they are being pushed much harder to ensure that tobacco products are not sold to minors. Still, infractions do occur. Those who currently hold private liquor store licences, which generally go to those with pub licences, will be able to move their licences (presumably via sale or lease) into grocery stores. The current restriction that licences must be for businesses within a five-kilometre limit will be lifted. Wisely, the government recognizes that this move gives an economic benefit to licence holders, and wants them to pay a transfer fee. The standalone stores will be in larger grocery stores, and within the same building — not in standalone buildings, as is the case in Alberta. This makes a lot of sense. Customers will be able to put groceries and liquor in their carts, but must pay for their liquor in designated checkout lines. This move brings an era of civility to liquor sales that we haven’t seen before in B.C. It wasn’t that long ago that people had to go into government liquor stores, ask for the product they wanted, and receive it in a brown paper bag, out of sight of prying eyes. Then we got government stores in shopping malls, and then we went to a mix of private and government liquor stores. It will be wonderful to be able to pair liquor, particularly wine and beer, with food and get some expert advice on those pairings within stores, as is the case at some of the best U.S. grocery stores. One step towards promoting B.C.-made beer, wine and spirits it to allow for point-of-sale demonstrating, tastings and advice. While this does take place in liquor stores now, it can be expanded greatly within the confines of a larger grocery store selling a wide variety of products. Sales of liquor in grocery stores begin in 2015. B.C. is entering an exciting era of treating liquor as a product to be fully enjoyed with meals and in social settings, in moderation. - Black Press

Forget issues, pass the muffins B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Proceedings here at the B.C. legislature were briefly thrust into the spotlight last week, firing up the radio talk shows and twitter feeds. No, it wasn’t the B.C. Liberal government forcing through legislation to allow industrial “research” for things like pipeline routes in provincial parks, or the debate on sanctioned wolf and grizzly kills. It wasn’t the teacher strike vote, as the scripted motions of that ritual combat are well known to weary parents. It was muffins. More specifically, “free” muffins in a newly relocated and equipped MLA lounge, and a rack installed to hold the

said muffins at a cost of $733. This was portrayed as part of a spending spree by Richmond East MLA Linda Reid, elected Speaker last summer. In fact it’s just the latest phase of a strikingly expensive refit to provide wheelchair access, which Reid has championed. The new MLA lounge replaces a seldom-used one at the top of steep stairs high in the 1898 stone structure. The new lounge is served by a ramp near the chamber exit to another under-used room in the library, and equipped with big-screen TVs to follow proceedings, similar to those installed in the legislature chamber last year. Everything done here is expensive, from matching ornate woodwork to upgrading ancient plumbing and wiring. But the public, conditioned by media to expect corruption and scandal, would rather be outraged about

free muffins. Prior to this, MLAs had to troop down to the basement dining room to put muffins and coffee on their expense accounts, or have an assistant fetch them. The outraged talk shows didn’t mention that. There are access issues in the dining room too, a fact more difficult to ignore with Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux, Paralympian Michelle Stilwell and former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan now elected to serve using their wheelchairs. A costly new outside access ramp assisted Kenny Michell, who visited last week to tell his harrowing story of the Burns Lake sawmill explosion that nearly burned him to death in 2012 and left him in a wheelchair.

The scandal pushed in this tragic story is that some evidence was not protected by WorkSafeBC and wouldn’t have been admissible in court. Prosecutors also said they had enough evidence for charges, but the companies or executives would be able to show “due diligence” that would likely result in acquittal. What that means in English is that the explosion risk of extra-dry dust and air wasn’t fully grasped by either mill operators or WorkSafeBC. All B.C. mills are now subject to more scrutiny, and a coroner’s inquest will be calling witnesses this fall to see what les-

sons can be learned. Back to pipelines through parks. This may seem like a scandal to urban B.C. residents who already fret about the possibility of the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline, or one of several proposed gas pipelines, intruding on a park. It’s not as well known that Trans Mountain completed a major twinning and upgrading project on the Alberta side in 2008. It crosses Mount Robson Provincial Park and Jasper National Park, without incident or scandal to date. But back to muffingate, as it’s become known around here.

Community service appreciated I am a fairly new resident of Hope, having moved here from Surrey in June 2013. This has been my first winter here. Due to the recent snowfalls March 4-6, my neighbour Don Garrett volunteered his time and snow removal machine to help clear the sidewalks surrounding C.E. Barry School and residents walkways. His efforts were to ensure the safety of the school children and the safety of immediate residents so they were not forced to walk on the streets that conflict with automobile traffic. I would personally like to thank Mr. Garrett for this sense of community spirit and for providing such a service at a time when it was needed. Terry Cholowski

Teachers are lucky to be working The B.C. Teachers’ Federation says there are over 41,000 school teachers in the federation. Strike vote results from March 6 show that only 29,301 teachers voted with 26,051 voting yes for strike action. This leaves 14,949 teachers or 36.46 per cent, that seem to

be happy with the way things are. The way things are is that the average teacher wage in B.C. is $89,000 per year ($70,624 in wages, $18,000 in benefits), two weeks off at Christmas, two week spring break, lieu days, a pension

plan that the B.C. taxpayers pay 16.13 per cent of salary into plan, having the months of July and August off, and a taxpayer-funded benefits plan. With the Alberta teachers’ federation recent four-year contract of zero per cent increase in the first three years,

and a two per cent pay raise in the fourth year with a cash bonus, and with the announcement March 7, 2014 that Staples will be closing 225 stores, these 14,949 are saying: “Things are great the way they are. We are lucky to be working.” Joe Sawchuk 02/14H_AA6

Time for teachers to avoid psychological labelling Here we go again. Teachers are already taking a strike vote when it’s my understanding that they haven’t even formulated a demand yet. People who claim to be all about the kids are taking action that could negatively impact those same kids. Their insistence that two or three children should be removed from each class to meet some arbitrary class size formula is patently ridiculous and a transparent aim to ensure more teachers are hired. They are totally oblivious to the result for school boards and, ultimately, taxpayers. The explosion in the numbers of so-called special needs students has been a huge contributor to this situation.

Every child who doesn’t fit the very narrowly-defined mold of normalcy is deemed to require special attention. If this province really does have such a huge increase in kids with a psychological imbalance, then the problem stretches way beyond the education system. What is causing it? Is it the environment, electronic overload, alien mind control? A child in my grandson’s class was recently diagnosed with authority opposition disorder. What the heck is that? Seems he doesn’t like being told what to do. Teachers and parents are supposed to negotiate with this nine-year-old so that he feels part of the decision-

making and will therefore cooperate better. What rubbish. What happens when this child and the myriad others with similar diagnoses go out into the real world? Can you envision him in a job situation negotiating whether or not he should follow the rules. He’d be out of a job faster than you can say special needs. Obviously, there are some children who require extra care – the developmentally or physically disabled, those with autism or dyslexia. However, I believe that most children labelled as special needs are simply the unfortunate results of over-indulgent parents, inattentive day care, teachers with neither the time nor the inclination

to deal with their needs and a psychological assessment process that must justify its existence. Kids need individual attention, they need to feel valued and appreciated, and many don’t have the kind of lives that satisfy this need. Diagnosis gives them a temporary fix, a spurious feeling of importance. But this does not serve them well in the real world. Isn’t it time for parents and teachers alike to avoid the psychological labelling of children as a justification for difficult behaviour instead of looking for the underlying problems that cause such behaviour?

RCMP make arrest in Agassiz cold case file Rosedale man facing second degree murder charges in Michael Scullion’s death Jessica Peters Black Press

Police have made an arrest relating to the disappearance of Michael Scullion. The Chilliwack father was last seen in the early morning hours of April 10, 2008 outside of the Harrison Crossroads Inn in Agassiz. He was 30 years old at the time. After Scullion failed

to show up for work or pick up his daughter later that day, he was reported missing by his family. Just days later, and following an extensive air and land search, RCMP had determined Scullion’s disappearance was likely the result of foul play. The case was handed over to the Integrated Homicide Inves-

tigation Team, with the help of Agassiz RCMP. Friends had reported Scullion was seen that night in an altercation in the pub at the hotel, which has since burned down. When they went outside to find him, he was gone. The case was transferred to the IHIT Cold Case Team in March 2012, and last

Friday, police arrested and charged a Rosedale man, Richard MacInnes, with the second degree murder of Scullion. MacInnes, 45, has also been charged with indignity to human remains. He made his first court appearance this week in a Chilliwack court room. Scullion’s body has never been recovered, but IHIT said the details of the case led them to no other conclusion than a homicide. “In this circumstance, our Cold Case investigators were able to obtain sufficient evidence to support that Michael Scullion was no longer alive and there was no other reasonable explanation for him being missing other than him being the victim of a homicide.” said Sgt. Adam MacIntosh of IHIT.

Months after Scullion’s disappearance, the community banded together to create a trust fund for Scullion’s then eight-year-old daughter. Scullion’s family has been waiting six years

for an arrest to made. “I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of my family to say thank-you to the many people who have shown their love, support and understanding to help us deal with this

horrible situation,” said Lou Scullion, Michael’s father. “We would also like to give a special thankyou to the RCMP and IHIT for never giving up. We are very grateful, thank you.”

Choral readings of hilarious poems left the adults in attendance chuckling in their seats. Later in the evening, a nineyear old graced her audience with an engaging rendition of Arthur Goes to Camp.

Well, lookie here. One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion. That’s deﬁnitely not democracy in action. The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to ofﬂoad the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t really seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our local elected ofﬁcials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board. That’s gotta tell you something. Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

Business alliance will battle MMBC recyling fees Jeff Nagel Black Press

An alliance of business groups opposed to the new Multi Material BC recycling system are demanding the province halt the planned May 19 launch and go back to the drawing board. MMBC, an industry stewardship group, is poised to take responsibility for curbside blue box collection â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with more containers and material types collected than before â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â while charging businesses for the recycling of the packaging and paper they generate. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in a bitter fight with small business groups that complain they are set to pay punishingly high fees, which will then be passed on to consumers. The battle took a new turn Monday, when the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and eight other associations launched a campaign in B.C. newspapers and online at rethinkitbc.ca to amplify the pressure on Victoria. CFIB provincial affairs director Mike Klassen predicted job losses and some business closures as a result of the MMBC regulations and fees. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is public policy run amok,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are asking British Columbians to talk to the B.C. government to push the pause button on its reckless and red tape-laden program.â&#x20AC;? B.C. Agriculture Council vice-chair Stan Vander Waal said farmers canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t readily stop packaging strawberries and blueberries in plastic clamshells, because retailers insist thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what consumers want. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to wear the cost,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding MMBC fees will cost his Chilliwack farm $60,000 to $100,000 a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It goes directly against growing agriculture.â&#x20AC;? Canadian Newspaper Association chairman Peter Kvarnstrom, who is publisher of a paper in Sechelt, warned the new system will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;catastrophicâ&#x20AC;? to B.C. community and daily newspapers, result-

Shoppers face higher prices through hidden fees New recycling costs imposed by Multi Material BC will ultimately hit consumers through hidden fee hikes, critics say. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The public is largely unaware of the money that will come out of their pocket and ultimately go back to manufacturers,â&#x20AC;? said Corinne Atwood, executive director of the B.C. Bottle and Recycling Depot Association. Unlike existing deposit-refund systems in B.C. on cans or electronics â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â which are subject to audits and transparent reporting â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â Atwood said MMBC can do what it wishes with its revenue, without accountability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a licence to print money,â&#x20AC;? she said. Atwood has lobbied for years to expand the deposit system to include milk cartons and other containers, from hair spray canisters to detergent bottles. She argues the refunds offered would ensure a high rate of recycling through depots, as with beverage cans now. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you put deposits on things initially the consumer would pay a bit more, but the people who bring it back will get their money back,â&#x20AC;? she said. Instead, she said MMBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s non-refundable fees on packaging generators will inflate prices with no recourse. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With a hidden fee you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it is and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no opportunity to get that back â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â then youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re genuinely taking money out of familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pockets.â&#x20AC;? Atwood said she believes the government likes the new system because if MMBC fees drive retail prices higher, the province will collect more sales tax. Existing bottle depots may be threatened because MMBC will also collect refundable beverage containers, she said, adding school teams and community groups that depend on bottle drives to raise money may also lose out if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less to collect. Other recyclers say theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also losing out under MMBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s system. The agency recently announced a consortium of waste firms that will handle the processing of containers that are collected. Urban Impact Recycling was one of the bidders that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t selected and CEO Nicole Stefenelli said her firm will now have to restructure and potentially shed jobs as a result. ing in job losses in an already challenged industry and reduced service to communities. The opposition groups say they support the aim of the program â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â to make generators of packaging pay to recycle it â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â but they dispute the fees and say multinational consumer goods firms like Unilever and Walmart control MMBC and are manipulating it to their benefit, not that of local businesses. Most of the fees for container waste are double or even quadruple what busi-

nesses in Ontario pay to a similar agency. Newspapers say they face a $14-million-a-year bite out of their operations because of the 20 cents per kilogram they will pay on newsprint, compared to less than half a penny in Ontario. They contend a high proportion of newsprint is already recycled in B.C. through blue boxes. Kvarnstrom said newspapers are considering options to create their own newsprint collection system â&#x20AC;&#x201C;Â a move that could also deprive

MMBC of newsprint revenue and undermine the programâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s viability. Magazine industry reps also warned small B.C. magazines will pay not only for their own paper recycling, but will also effectively subsidize big U.S. magazines like Harperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or Vogue that will be exempt from MMBC fees on magazines mailed into B.C. Printers predict some orders will shift to presses in the U.S. or Alberta to skirt the fees, costing jobs in B.C. MMBC managing director Allen Langdon said MMBCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s higher fees are because they fully finance the program and ensure service for multifamily apartments and rural depots, in contrast to Ontarioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more limited focus on single-family homes. He said B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s successful container deposit system also means thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s less recyclable material left here for container stewards to collect and sell, so fees have to be higher to cover the system costs. Langdon said no business is forced to join MMBC, adding groups like the newspaper industry are free to develop their own system. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a better way, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important they put it forward.â&#x20AC;? Environment Minister Mary Polak said most businesses are exempt from the fees if they have under $1 million of retail sales, generate less than a tonne of material or operate out of a single retail outlet, while generators of one to five tonnes per year pay flat fees of $550 or $1,200. She said property taxpayers will save money because MMBC will now pay for recycling collection that local municipalities previously paid. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City of Richmond will save $1.5 million a year, Nanaimo will save just over $900,000 a year and the list goes on,â&#x20AC;? Polak said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is about shifting the costs from the property taxpayer to the people who produce the packaging and printed paper.â&#x20AC;?

World Day of Prayer On March 14, the women of Egypt invite local residents to join them in the World Day of Prayer celebration. Each year the World Day of Prayer service is prepared by a different country and the 2014 theme is “Streams in the Desert.” It is meant to challenge, inspire and encourage us as we learn about the theme and the focus country. Through the presentation by urban, and rural, young and older Egyptian women, the World Day of Prayer Committee of Egypt introduces their country on a human scale. They reveal Egypt as they live it: a country with one step firmly planted in the past, teetering on the cusp of modernity, searching for the next step. Friends and family are invited to attend this service and learn more about the culture and heritage of Egypt. Join Christians in more than 170 countries around the world and 2,000 communities across Canada who will gather to pray and act in solidarity with the people of Egypt. A local World Day of Prayer service will be held March 14 at 7 p.m. at Hope Pentecostal Assembly, 843 Fifth Ave. For more information, call 604-869-5104.

Local running group trains for Sun Run Barry Stewart Hope Standard

If you saw some scary people on the streets of Hope last Sunday, here’s hoping they were part of the Team FIT fun run. Families-In-Training were out on their annual five-kilometre run, as a fun practice for the upcoming 10K Sun Run in Vancouver, on April 27 — and the 51 participants were encouraged to dress up as zombies or in 1980s dress. Crazy hair and wild colours garnered bonus points. The group is at the half-way point in their training and the annual run is used as a spirit builder for the coming weeks, which involve progressively longer training runs. Co-organizer Miranda Cowan said the event kicked off with a pre-run warm-up, with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” setting the pace. The run started at 4 p.m., with the walkers and Nordic (pole) walkers. The fastest walker was Stacey Meijer, who completed the course in 47 minutes. Tasha Fisher was the first Nordic walker, at 48:20. Cowan’s Learn-to-Run group took off next, followed by the Run Steady and Run Stronger groups. “Some of the Learn-to-Runs managed to run the whole way,” said Cowan, whose husband Jacob got her involved with the group. “Levi (her son) went blazing by me at a fast speed and he had started way behind me. He beat me by about 10 minutes.” Levi beat everybody else, too, clocking a time of 21:17. “Kayla Penner was the fastest in the Learn-toRun, at 26:24,” added Cowan, “and Eric Meijer was the fastest in Run Steady, with a 24:14.” There were prizes for the fastest times in each group — and random draws during the potluck supper, for anyone who had dressed for the occasion. The supper also followed the zombie theme, with gruesome labels for the dishes. “I made a ‘Graveyard Greens’ salad, with crunchy cartilage, moulded cheese, and fingernails… served with zombie bile dressing. “Peter Hollmann brought ‘Curried Baby Thighs’ and Yvonne Hambly brought a ‘Shredded Body Parts’ salad.” There was also a tray of hard-boiled eggs, dressed up as eyeballs. Cowan said she was in her element, helping people come up with awful names for the food they brought. The Poulins’ unlabelled lasagna was soon transformed into ‘layered skin, with cheesy scab crust.’ For dessert, there were ‘Graveyard Dirt Bars’ and a ‘Walking Dead’ cake, with dirty-green icing. “The kids loved it,” said Cowan, grinning. “They went back for seconds.” Now in its ninth year, the Team FIT group has 104 members this year, with 46 families taking part. Fifteen Hope Secondary students are also on the team. Pauline Johnson, who brought the program to Hope, said the team is in partnership with SportMedBC and the Aboriginal Recreation and Activity Partners Council. Former Olympian, Lynn Kanuka, is the SportMedBC run/walk coach. This is the 30-year anniversary of the popular Sun Run.
