Summer school pickets next: BCTF Teachers want settlement by June 30 Tom Fletcher Black Press
Teacher pickets will target locations where summer school is being carried out if they don’t have a settlement of their strike by June 30. B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker announced that decision Wednesday, as he prepared for the first meeting with B.C. Public School Employers’ Association since a full-scale strike began June

17. The meeting has been characterized as “exploratory talks” dealing with possible mediation. BCPSEA has applied to the Labour Relations Board for summer school offerings to be declared essential services, if they are “secondary remedial programs provided to students who have failed a secondary level course.” Summer programs for elementary school students, international students or secondary students
trying to improve a passing grade would not be protected by an LRB order, meaning the majority of summer programs wouldn’t go ahead. Iker said the union is also considering the plight of B.C.’s five modified calendar schools, which have three month-long breaks instead of the traditional summer vacation. They are in the middle of their final three-month term and are facing more disruption than other
schools. BCPSEA has also applied for essential service protection so they can resume operation. Iker said if there is no deal by June 30, BCTF negotiators would be available to continue talks, rather than take the summer off as they have done in previous disputes. The two sides remain far apart on wages and benefits, with a longrunning dispute over class size and special needs support levels going back to court this fall.

Traffic stop leads to drug seizure

Games Night
Police confiscate more than 3kg in suspect narcotics A routine traffic stop turned up more than three kilograms of cocaine and another unknown substance outside Hope last week. A Boston Bar RCMP member was patrolling Highway 1 on Friday when he noticed a vehicle that passed him going to other direction appeared to
have an illegal modification. When he pulled the vehicle over for a quick chat, he noticed what he believed to be the smell of marijuana. Upon further investigation, the officer located approximately 2.4 kilograms of what police believe to be cocaine, as well as over one kilogram of a
substance yet to be identified. “This was a significant seizure by our officer,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “What started with a routine stop ended with taking over three-and-a-half kilograms of what we believe to be illegal drugs out of possible circulation.” Interrupting drug traffick-
Medical pot farms won’t get property tax break: province Jeff Nagel Black Press
The province has plugged a loophole that could have let new medical marijuana producers dodge most of their property tax bills by gaining farm tax status. They’re now excluded from the list of agricultural uses that qualify for the lower agricultural tax rate. Several Lower Mainland cities had feared they might lose property tax revenue if new cannabis producers set up on industrial land and then ask B.C. Assessment to convert them to farm tax status. “There’s a collective sigh of relief among municipalities,” Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said of the decision, which takes effect in 2015. The provincial government is also advising municipalities not to try to ban medical marijuana operators from the Agricultural Land Reserve, cautioning that they might face a court challenge. Several cities have passed bylaws allowing pot producers to operate only on industrial land, so the highly secure bunker-like buildings don’t ef-

fectively pave over productive farmland. While the province views medical pot as a viable ALR use, it would not qualify for farm tax status there either, joining the ranks of gravel pits, wineries and other activities allowed in the ALR but denied the reduced tax rate. The federal government has so far issued five medical marijuana production licenses in B.C. to operators in Central
Saanich, Maple Ridge, Whistler, Nanaimo and Spallumcheen. Hundreds of other licence applications are under consideration. But the federal government’s shift to a system of commercial growers remains under a legal cloud, awaiting a court challenge by authorized medical pot users who want to retain the right to grow their own.

‘Suspicious incident’ prompts investigation Hope RCMP are looking for more information after a report that a strange man approached a group of kids last Monday. The male youths were walking behind a business in the 11900 block of Silverview Road at around 2 p.m. June 16 when they were approached by a stranger. The man asked the youths if they wanted ice cream that he had left over. The youths told the man “no,” however, were asked again. After the second time, the youths left the area and no further interaction occurred. “Although there was no overt attempt on the part of the unknown male to entice the youths, we want the public to be aware that this incident happened,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. The male is described as being a Caucasian male between 50-60 years old. He is heavy set with a large build and is balding. Anyone with any information cam contact the Hope RCMP at 604 8697750 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).

The Yale Museum and Historical Society is already looking forward to next year following a successful fundraising event with a unique twist. Barrels were dropped off the Hell’s Gate walkway into the rushing Fraser River below. A total of 36 entrants took part, with the first place barrel and $500 prize going to Rona. Second place and $300 went to Panago, and Hope Ready Mix took home the $100 third-place prize. It was a fast field this year, organizers say. The first five barrels across the finish line actually beat out the previous record time set a couple of years ago.
Crowd voting was held in Memorial Park on Saturday. Thirty of the 36 barrels were entered. And the winners of each category were: Least likely to succeed - Erica Press; Crowd Pleaser - Boston Bar Service; Most likely to succeed - Buy and Save; Best dressed - Barry’s Trading Post. Organizers sent out a special thank you to Hope Search and Rescue and Fraser River Raft Expeditions for help retrieving the barrels, to all the businesses that supported the event, and to all the volunteers who helped organize and oversee the action.

There was an error in a story in last week’s Standard regarding the closure of C.E. Barry intermediate school in Hope. While the school board voted unanimously in favour of closing the school, the 5-2 vote was in favour of moving the Grade 5 and Grade 6 students to Coquihalla Elementary, and giving the Grade 7 students the option of attending either Silver Creek Elementary or Hope Secondary. Trustees Pat Furness and Tom Hendrickson voted against the Grade 7 students going to the high school.

Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
Gateway a ways off Much will be made of the federal government’s decision to give the Northern Gateway pipeline its approval. However, it is important to put last week’s decision in the proper perspective. The Joint Review Panel, which earlier gave Northern Gateway the green light, put 209 conditions on that approval — conditions which Enbridge, the proponent, has said it will fulfil. Then there’s the five provincial conditions that Premier Christy Clark laid down before last year’s provincial election. While they are general in nature, they constitute some stiff barriers. Even if agreements with First Nations are reached, for example, it is likely that there will still be some lawsuits over the pipeline. The Mackenzie Valley pipeline, proposed for the Northwest Territories in the 1970s, is a classic example of how lawsuits can effectively kill a resources project. By the time all lawsuits and other regulatory hurdles were dealt with, the project was no longer economic and it has never been built. Given the nature of bitumen, the product being shipped, and the hazards of navigation on B.C.’s north coast, there are many legitimate concerns about shipping this product. It would make more sense to ship refined oil products, from proposed northern B.C. refineries in Kitimat and Prince Rupert, and that would meet at least some of the objections to Northern Gateway. Such projects would also create many more jobs in B.C., which means that this province would gain more benefits for the considerable risk it is being exposed to. The final decision on this project is a long ways off.
A brief history of teacher demands B.C. VIEWS
Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – A few things have changed since the last allout teacher strike in B.C. That was just two years ago, when the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was coming off its secondever voluntary agreement with a 16% raise over five years and what the union termed an “enhanced” signing bonus of $4,000. Even with special teacher-only top-ups, BCTF members almost rejected the last of the government’s big-spending pre-Olympic labour deals signed in 2006. By 2012, outraged teachers were back on the legislature lawn, howling for another 16%, with backup vocals provided as usual
by HEU, CUPE, BCGEU and other public sector unions that settled for less. Teachers had just sailed through a crippling global recession with a series of raises, but were oblivious to all that. Last week the protest venue switched to Vancouver, where both the crowd and the demands looked a bit thinner. The signing bonus target is up to $5,000, but the raise is a mere 8% over five years (compounded, for those who passed math), plus another huge basket of cash disguised as benefit improvements and so forth. Government negotiators put their total compensation demand at 14.5%. One obvious dodge: they want the bottom two steps of the teacher salary grid dropped. That’s simply a raise for entrylevel teachers. Admittedly those are rare creatures these days with

shrinking enrolment and ironclad seniority rules that allow retired teachers to monopolize substitute work. Something else that’s changed since 2012 is that the government has granted the BCTF’s wish to bargain directly with the province. The education ministry executed a takeover of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association after last year’s election, and installed veteran industrial union negotiator Peter Cameron. He’s backed up by long-time labour specialist Lee Doney, whose task is to keep the teacher deal within Treasury Board limits that have defined all other public sector union settlements. Doney made it clear last week that no mediator is going to come in and “split the baby” as long as the BCTF position is so far beyond the current compensation
Standard
framework. Despite constant union complaints of low wages and deteriorating working conditions in B.C. schools, education grads remain lined up around the block hoping to get in. Why is that? For those who have been exposed to life outside school for a while, it’s fairly simple. The job market out here in the real world is tough. And here’s how the real world evaluates a teaching job. Start with 189 working days, each nine hours long as per the accepted definition, and the topheavy seniority list that places the average teacher salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation. I am occasionally lectured by

teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it. Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal.

Two points about the teachers’ strike Re: Taxpayers forgotten in teacher’s strike I would like to address two of the points Jean brought up. First, teachers’ huge salaries: the average Canadian with a university degree working full-time in Canada in 2010 made $80,500. This is significantly above the current average salary of teachers in BC of $71,485, and higher than only teachers with an advanced education who have been em-
ployed for 10 or more years. I have included a link to the source for this information if you would like to verify: http://goo.gl/iEvYIi Teachers make a decent salary, but it is less than the average Canadian with a similar education, and they have been losing ground to inflation. Second, provisions already exist in local contracts for dismissal of teachers, and they are very similar to what
was suggested. Article C.25 of the collective agreement of the Fraser-Cascade Teachers’ Association stipulates that a teacher may be dismissed after three less than satisfactory teaching reports. This too can be verified online: http://goo. gl/RQBxs2 Teachers do have pensions and benefits, but these are not uncommon in unionized workplaces. We also pay a significant portion of the cost of
Government broke the law Do you support the teachers in their job action? Is the B.C. government right? I’m not a teacher and I have my opinions about this dispute, everyone else will have theirs. But this whole strike shouldn’t be about taking sides. It’s about following the law. The B.C. government in 2001 broke the law and illegally stripped teacher’s legal binding contracts. Don’t believe it? Ask the Supreme Court of BC and they will tell you they ruled for the provincial government to restore the teacher’s contracts not once, but twice! Did you agree with the teachers contracts back in 2001? Who cares? The B.C. government signed a signed legal contract. People can argue that teachers get paid too much, public servants get paid too much, hockey players get paid too much, but if any of them
break the law will they not get punished like everyone else? The government broke the law, and they know it. B.C.’s highest court has told them to restore the original contracts. Regardless of which side you’re on when it comes to this dispute. The law is the law. I want my children, growing up in B.C. to know that the B.C. government should be setting the right example. I don’t want to live in a province where everyone has to follow the law, except for the lawmakers themselves. Restore the contracts like the court told you too. Stop wasting all our tax dollars with delay tactics, lawyers, negotiators and appeals. Follow the law and move forward from there. Mason Kealy
Canada doesn’t welcome hard workers I was left somewhat bewildered by the outcry especially this last Spring over temporary foreign workers (TFWs) attaining McDonald’s jobs while Canadians are actively yet futilely seeking employment, including minimum wage jobs. Exacerbating the public outcry was the added news that a number of TFWs were even starting at a higher wage than their Canadian McDonald’s co-workers. This news, but especially the latter portion,
didn’t make sense to me—for only about a minute. It then dawned upon me that the TFWs were very likely getting the jobs as well as a higher starting wage simply because their greater productivity merits it, and maybe even then some. From my own observations during the last couple decades of the notably strong work ethic practised also by new Canadian immigrants—quite noticeable in fruit, vegetable and berry harvesting sector work that virtu-
ally all second, third, fourth, etcetera, generation Canadians won’t themselves tolerate—I can see how they could be 50 to 100 per cent more productive than their born-and-rearedhere Canadian counterparts. But as it currently stands, it appears that such hard workers aren’t really welcomed here, in a collective sense, no matter how tough and undesirable are the jobs for which they break their backs.

both of these in the form of payroll deductions. Teachers need cost of living increases to keep up with inflation. Everyone does. The main sticking points in the bargaining at this point, however, are class size and composition, and this is about helping students, because teacher working conditions are student learning conditions. Jacob Cowan
Too precious to flood The BC Governments decision to create another mega hydro project in northern BC, is just another example of our elected leaders unnecessarily destroying vast acreages of productive farmland and natural ecosystems of wildlife and plant habitat for the appearance of creating green energy, while the main purpose for the power is for the use in the imminent production of LNG. So not only are we about to permanently flood thousands of acres of productive farmland and ecosystem, we are doing so to produce an energy source that’s even dirtier than the energy created to produce that power. So in the end we’re left with a destroyed flooded valley, LNG for export, and a huge debt, with no guarantee of future demand or pricing. Who’s great idea was this? Art Green
Middle school still possible In my opinion, a Middle School in Hope is still possible! We have three remaining schools in Hope - Coquihalla Elementary, Silver Creek Elementary, and Hope Secondary. Why can’t one of the schools be turned into a Middle School? It is cost effective, and it may be a better long term solution than shifting the students from the CE Barry Middle School to the three other schools. Thank you, Renzo Cervello

Valerie Nevile Carter was recently inducted into the Northwest Territories Education Hall of Fame. Carter graduated from Hope Secondary School in 1960 and is a granddaughter of the Thacker family, which Thacker Mountain is named after. She also received the Minister's Choice Award, often called the "Oscar Award for education". Carter, who is now retired, began her career in 1966 in Inuvik. In 1970, she moved to Yellowknife where she taught grades 4, 5 and 6 at a number of different schools throughout the city. Carter was nominated by her former grade 5 student Glen Abernethy, who is now a GNWT cabinet minister. Abernethy recognized Carter as being someone who had a positive impact on his life and if he hadn't known her, he might not be where he is today!

vating performer. Her music evokes the great Latin American popular singers, combining sensitivity to the lyrics she sings with an impressive musicality, influenced by pop and jazz. Through years of touring around the world, across Canada, and collaborating with Juno Award-winning perform-
ers, she has grown into an accomplished singer-songwriter and bandleader with unlimited colours in her compositional and lyrical palette. Eliana will be performing with her band of exceptional jazz and Latin musicians, on the beach stage on Friday, July 18 at 7 p.m. The beach stage is jam
packed with affordable entertainment throughout the festival, with performances throughout the day on the weekends and in the evenings on weeknights. Purchase a festival button for full access to the beach shows for $20, or $2 a day.

All true festival fans know that the beach is where the musical magic happens, as the leaves of the willow trees gently blow in the breeze and the sounds of summer fill the air. Cuevas’ performance promises to be enchanting, and one not to miss. Born to a musical family in Cuevas grew up to the sounds of salsa, joropo, pop and Brazilian music, writing her first song by the age of nine. After moving to Toronto, she boldly began using a fake ID to play the city’s top jazz clubs despite being underage. Singing for Brazilian, flamenco and jazz ensembles influenced her eclectic sound. Her engaging voice and songwriting on topics from adventure to forgiveness wowed the local music scene, hailing Eliana as ‘Canada’s Latin Music Queen’ (680 News). As much a product of the pan-Latin mix of Toronto as of her native Venezuala, Eliana Cuevas is a soulful and capti-

Sports Igniting the spark to help others Barry Stewart
Ride to Conquer Cancer offers lesson in endurance and resilience
The Hope Standard
Fitness challenges are a great way to motivate people to shake off their sedentary lifestyles and put those calories to work — and speaking of work: the workplace can often be the place where the first step back to fitness begins. Employers: take note. Hope resident Kay Thorne works at the head office of Prospera Credit Union in Abbotsford. About three years ago, employees were encouraged to get involved in cycling and the promotion caught Thorne’s interest. “They said they’d offer free training for anyone, so I joined,” said Thorne. “I bought a Trek road bike and it has almost 4,000 kilometres on it already. “We have about 30 members on our team that we call the ‘Prospera Pacemakers’ — all staff members from different branches.” The team goes for after-work training rides in the Abbotsford area, often using the Highway #1 parallel roads but also hitting some challenging hills, such as Sumas Mountain. The training prepares the riders for weekend fondos — or rides — that are organized around the province. (For a bit of fun, put “granfondo’ into an on-line Italian-to-English translator.) “I’ve signed up for the Prospera Valley Granfondo in July,” said Thorne. “I’ve done the 88K route before — but I’ve signed up for the 160K this year. “It’s all in one day. It starts in Fort Langley and goes down to Zero Avenue, over to Yarrow, up over Sumas Mountain and back to Fort Langley.” That event is on July 20, so there’s a good chance the weather will be drier — or at least warmer — than the cold and rainy ride Thorne endured in the two-day, 244K BC Ride to Conquer Cancer, June 14 and 15. Thorne’s father died of cancer many years ago and her sister runs a cancer clinic in Buffalo New York — but her biggest motivation came from how the disease has touched two friends recently. “A friend of mine, named Dan, died last May,” said Thorne. “He fought it really hard — and now a
Hope resident Kay Thorne rode in the recent BC Ride to Conquer Cancer, a two-day ride which started at Cloverdale and ended near Redmond, Washington. Thorne raised nearly $4,000 for the fundraiser, which attracted $9.1 million in donations. Submitted Photo
friend at work, Barb, is fighting it. “With those two people in mind, I decided to sign up for the ride and raise some money for research and raise awareness that we still have a long way to go.” In addition to training, Thorne had some major fund-raising to do before being allowed to join the ride. “In order to take part, you have to raise at least $2,500,” she said. “The Hope Fraternal Order of Eagles was my biggest supporter. They donated $2,000 and that me a big kick-start. It was over half of my fundraising, since I raised just about $4,000.” While most of us were sheltered from the elements that weekend… there was Thorne and over 2,000 fellow-riders huddled in the rain
at the Cloverdale Fairgrounds, waiting for the 7 am start. From Cloverdale, the group headed south, crossing the Canada-U.S. border and getting as far as Mount Vernon on the first day. Seven hours in the rain. “Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain! Oh my god!” said Thorne, groaning over the memory of it. “My partner, Larry (Kellum), was shadowing me in a camper van and I changed my clothes twice — but after half an hour, I was soaked again. “The ride is extremely well organized,” added Thorne. “They had big tractor-trailers for hot showers and they had hot meals for us — and excellent speakers.” Day two offered more of the same weather, and we’ll go to

Thorne’s Facebook entry for the conclusion of her most challenging ride to-date: “ Near the end of Day #2 of the BC Ride to Conquer Cancer, closing in on completing 244 kms, I was exhausted, soaked, cold, sore and cranky,” writes Thorne. “I could hear the cheering crowd around the corner at the finish line and was so entrenched in my own misery all I could think of was getting something hot to drink and getting warm. “With very little energy left, I looked up as I crossed the finish line. Standing there in the crowd of cheering supporters, in the torrential downpour, was a boy of about ten years old. He was holding up a sign that said, ‘Thank you for riding for me.’
“And I cried. “It brought me back to the reality of why I was there. 2,100 riders raised $9.1 million dollars to support the British Columbia Ride to Conquer Cancer. Thank you to all of you who supported this effort, both with your generous donations and your words of encouragement. “You are world class game changers.” Thorne said she continued crying for the next 45 minutes, her tears masked by raindrops. “It was a tough endurance ride — but nothing compared to what a cancer patient has to combat,” she added. “A humbling experience for me.”

OBITUARIES
FREDERICK MATTHEW RALEIGH Born: March 7, 1925 in Melbourne Australia Died: May 4, 2014 in Campbell River With great sadness we announce that Fred passed peacefully on May 4, 2014 surrounded by his loving family. He is once again reunited with the love of his life, Jean (married 67 years), and his eldest daughter Barb. Grieving his loss are his daughters Bonnie Kyle of Victoria, Linda Riddell (Dave) of Campbell River, son John Raleigh of Campbell River, 13 grandchildren, 21 great grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and his much loved Auntie Bonnie and her family in Australia. Fred was in every way a gentleman and was admired and respected by all who knew him. He had a wonderful sense of humour and never passed up an opportunity to tease. In his younger years Fred was a skilled curler and hard to beat at bridge. His passions in life were fishing, camping, dancing and enjoying what he valued most in life ... his family. His favorite places, where he made most of his friends and spoke of with fond memories, were Texada Island, Black Mountain Ranch and Campbell River. Fred was in the Australian Army and the Airforce during WW11 and met his bride, Jean, while training in Manitoba. After the war he moved from Australia and became a Canadian citizen. He spent his working life as an underground miner across Canada, becoming a shift boss and safety director at Texada Mines and ending his career at Caroline Mines at Hope BC, as mine superintendent. Even though Fred had to quit school to help his father in the family wood-yard at an early age, he was very much a self- motivated and self- taught man and his achievements were a testament to his intellect. After retiring he and Jean moved to Campbell River and he was never as happy as he was when sitting in his condo, watching the ever changing ocean view. Fred died as he lived, with grace and dignity, filled with love and courage. He has instilled values and morals in his family that each of us recognize and appreciate. If we can be half the person you were Dad (Papa), you’ve left us with a wonderful gift. At Dad’s request a Celebration Of Life will be a family campout at Shelter Point on Texada, where we will sit around the campfire and laugh, sing, toast him with a rum & coke, reminisce and be grateful for the many years we were blessed to have this amazing man in our lives.
