Repair crews were at the site of a minor train derailment north of Hope in the Fraser Canyon Friday morning, after four empty freight cars left the track in Dogwood Valley. The incident occurred at around 7 a.m., witnesses said, causing substantial damage to the track, as well as the main road out of the community. Rail ties were torn up and the control arm at Park Lane Drive was taken out. A spokesperson for CP Rail confirmed there were no injures and said there was no risk to the surrounding public.

“CP’s emergency protocols were immediately enacted and all safety precautions and measures were taken,” said Salem Woodrow. “CP takes safety and every incident seriously and a full investigation will be undertaken into what took place.” However, local residents have been lobbying for better rail line maintenance for awhile. Area B electoral director Dennis Adamson said people have contacted him with concerns about the wear and tear on the tracks from more frequent, heavier and longer trains. Some are also worried about the amount of hazardous materials being transported. “Every week I get people calling me with concerns about the railroad.

Thank God they were empty coal cars because if they were full it could have been a lot worse,” said Adamson. “Communities have raised concerns across the country at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities and Federation of Canadian Municipalities about rail traffic in general. There’s always a problem with the trains.” Dogwood Valley resident Gail Stephenson believes Friday’s derailment could have been prevented. She emailed CP Rail on Jan. 12, 2014 to warn them about the need for track maintenance at the Park Lane Drive crossing. In her email, Stephenson said the crossing “has deteriorated to the point that it is frightening to see

a train on it. I would like it to be repaired before there is a derailment.” Someone from CP Rail was sent out to inspect the crossing but it was never repaired. “They could have fixed this with a lot less money. The derailment wasn’t a surprise to me,” said Stephenson, adding that if the freight cars had been full they probably would have ended up on neighbouring properties. A house is located within about 46 metres (50 yards) of the track. “You would sit there waiting for a train to go by and the way the rails were bouncing up and down was just frightening. There would be six or eight inches of play between. It was just terrible and scary.”

Sockeye run starting to enter the Fraser Jennifer Feinberg Black Press

Sockeye by the thousands could start swimming up the Fraser River shortly. The prized red sockeye entering the river now are the offspring of the 2010 run — the largest sockeye return on the Fraser in the last 100 years. This year is shaping up to be similar in scope, with a midrange forecast by Fisheries and Oceans Canada officials set at 23 million sockeye. The bulk of it will be in the late run which includes the prodigious Adams River stock. “The early Stuart run is just starting to enter the Fraser River,” said Jennifer Nener, DFO area director for the Lower Fraser. There were just a handful counted since test fishing started. “We need considerably more data before considering any openings,” she said. They’ll know more in a few short weeks. Fishermen are checking their gear. Guiding outfits are hiring and booking like mad. Tackle stores are adding inventory. Many are watching the test fishery numbers with considerable interest.The computer modelling puts the estimated Fraser

return total anywhere between about 7 million and 70 million sockeye. Sto:lo fisher and Grand Chief Ken Malloway said he figures the 23 million estimate is on the conservative side. “I say it may be closer to 30 million,” he said. “I’m getting pretty anxious.” The FSC fishery won’t open until the numbers in the river are higher, but they might also open the dry rack fishery at that time. Regardless of the exact numbers, this season is going to have broad local impacts. Aboriginal, commercial, and sport fishery opportunities for Fraser sockeye are all expected to open at various times this season. One concern raised by conservation groups is the that the exploitation rate on Interior Fraser Coho will be going up to 16 per cent, from three per cent. The “exploitation” rate is the limiting of unintentional by-catch by commercial fishers to protect the endangered species. Coho and sockeye tend to co-migrate through the system, and get caught in the nets together. It’s only for one year, said Nener, and the rationale for a

higher rate is to better manage the sockeye and the coho. Coho numbers have improved. “I’ve never seen it that high,” said Malloway about the increased rate of allowable bycatch. But good sockeye returns this summer also mean economic benefits for different users. Up to 23 Sto:lo communities are in negotiations to sign an agreement under the Aboriginal Fisheries Strategy. “It’s going to mean that Sto:lo families should have enough fish, and also opportunities to make a living off fishing the way we used to,” said Malloway. Ernie Crey, fisheries adviser to the Sto:lo Tribal Council, said the Early Stuart run, one component of the big Fraser run, could sustain aboriginal fisheries on a scale that no one has seen in a while. Sto:lo fishing families are not only planning an earlier than usual dry-rack fishery in the Fraser Canyon, but also a food, social, and ceremonial (FSC) fishery. “We have not had a general opening on the Early Stuart for a long time. The run has been generally weak,” he noted. Economic opportunities for Sto:lo under AFS, meaning

the chance to sell their catch, are likely coming for the Early Summer run, the first of four main runs on the Fraser. Dean Werk, president of the Fraser Valley Salmon Society predicts there will be “lots of happy fishers” in all the user groups. “We may never see a year like this again.” It’s going to mean ample opportunities to get out on the river. “People are excited to hear we are going to have some good returns,” he said. “Chilliwack and area has the most to gain from what we’re about to see.” Fishing is a major economic driver for Chilliwack and area. “Even at half the number they’re predicted, it’s still going to be good.” Guides and other tourismrelated businesses are poised to do well this season. “This is the hub of it all,” said Werk, who also owns Great River Fishing Adventures. He’s looking to hire more river guides. “We’re booked solid and virtually sold out right now.” From the Vedder Canal to Hope is where “the magic” is, he said. “People need to be in the gravel reach.”

Chief James Hobart and the SFN are inviting the public to the event in their traditional territory on July 26 at the Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park picnic area. The centrepiece of the festivities will be their First Salmon Ceremony – normally held within the SFN community. “The First Salmon Ceremony is a feast giving thanks for abundance and we want to share that abundance with everyone along the Gold Rush/ Spirit Trails,” said Hobart. “The 1926 Alexandra Bridge structure is one of the things we’re grateful for – it has an abundance of history and heritage tourism potential.” The celebration starts at 11 a.m. with a welcome to the traditional territory, stories of the significance of the First Salmon Ceremony and a brief outline of the Alexandra Bridge Project, which is dedicated to making a rejuvenated bridge a legacy project for the

New plan for Fraser Health targets ER overuse Jeff Nagel Black Press

A seven-month review of Fraser Health has resulted in a new strategy that focuses on cutting unnecessary use of hospital emergency rooms in favour of improved primary and community care. Health Minister Terry Lake said Wednesday too many patients in the region aren’t getting the appropriate type of care and suffering worse outcomes, compared to other peer hospitals in

Canada. “When you provide that care in the community, you take the pressure off the acute care setting,” Lake said. “That helps look after your budget problem as well.” Average lengths of hospital stays are longer in Fraser, Lake said, increasing risks of picking up infections in hospital or problems like bed sores. The concept is far from new. Fraser has been trying for years to clear its congested ERs with a shift

to preventative or home health care. Although Lake did not criticize past efforts, he said the time was right for a strategic “data-driven” re-examination of the issues for the region, whose staff had been too bogged down in “putting out fires.” Some of the overuse of hospital ERs instead of community clinics may be related to cultural differences among the region’s large South Asian population, Lake said. The region will get a

bridge of 1863. The structure requires repairs to bring it up to current building standards capable of carrying maintenance vehicles. Deterioration of cement and caps on the bridge towers that hold the cables in place specially need to be addressed. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure completed an assessment and noted the bridge is safe to walk across but requires work in order to protect and pre-

serve the structure. In 2012, the government estimated the cost to repair and preserve the bridge for 75 years at $11.9 million. The work could also be broken down into stages to address the safety concerns. “The Alexandra Bridge is an icon of Canadian transportation and cultural history, the highways equivalent of the Last Spike,” said Hobart. “But it is also the tip of a heritage iceberg that includes 10,000 years of First Nations’ history, the fur trade, Gold Rush and the building of the railways. It’s something worth preserving.” Participants will feast on barbecued salmon and other food at this free event. They’ll also be asked to sign a petition calling on the provincial government to show leadership in assembling the resources needed to restore and rejuvenate the 88-year-old bridge structure.

A member of the Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council, its offices are near Alexandra Bridge and about 16 kilometres north of Yale.

modest infusion of extra money – $40 million in 2014/15 and $20 million in 2015/16 – to assist with opening up community care beds during the transition. Lake said the findings confirmed Fraser’s budget of $3.1 billion has been appropriate in recent years, in light of its population of 1.7 million, rapid growth rate and demographics. “It’s not a matter of dollars,” he said. Funding for Fraser is slated to climb 4.3 per cent in 2014, 1.4 per cent in 2015 and 1.2 per cent to more than $3.3 billion in 2016. The review was ordered by Lake last November, largely in response to the health authority’s inability to avoid successive budget overruns. The resulting strategic and operational plan sets out 10 priority actions for improvement. Among them is a recommendation that trauma, cardiac and stroke programs be more efficiently coordinated across the Lower Mainland’s two health authorities. Lake ruled out a full merger of the Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health authorities, but said the ministry will continue to examine whether it’s

logical to carve off the Burnaby local health area and add it to Vancouver Coastal because of the significant number of Burnaby patients who go into Vancouver for treatment. “We’ve got two large hospitals we’re going to rebuild – St. Paul’s and Royal Columbian,” Lake said. “It’s imperative the two health authorities work together to ensure those rebuilds provide the service and infrastructure necessary to serve the entire population of the Lower Mainland rather than take an isolated view of the two hospitals.” The full strategic and operational plan, along with summaries of the review team findings, can be found at http://fraserhealth.ca/about_us/strategic_plan A search is underway for a new president and CEO of Fraser Health to replace former top executive Dr. Nigel Murray, who resigned last month to return to New Zealand. Fraser is also without a permanent board chair. Interim chair Wynne Powell has been filling in since Lake terminated former chair David Mitchell, saying fresh eyes were needed to finalize the review.

A6 Hope Standard Thursday, July 10, 2014

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

Missing an opportunity School’s out and British Columbia’s teachers are still on strike. Or are they? Drive past any of the province’s more than 1,600 public schools and the picketing teachers who waved at passing motorists, eliciting horns of support or scorn, are absent. Their signs pleading for better education for their students with smaller classrooms and better class composition are packed away. For all intents and purposes, it looks like another routine summer holiday season around BC’s schools. And yet it’s not. The acrimonious dispute that put the teachers on the street, and kids’ education on hold, continues. But there are no longer pickets to remind us that the strike is still on. That may be a missed opportunity for the teachers’ union to score a point in the battle for public support in this dispute. Continuing to picket the province’s schools through the summer, even in a skeleton fashion, would have been a constant reminder of what this dispute is about. Teachers could have shown their commitment to the cause they say they’re fighting for by continuing that fight even when they’re normally on holiday. And maintaining pickets through the summer would have increased the pressure on the government to reach an agreement, as CUPE workers had pledged to honour teachers’ picket lines meaning routine summer maintenance, repairs and paperwork wouldn’t get done. The provincial government is relying on public perception that teachers are already well paid and get to enjoy two months off every year to win support for its position. Seeing pickets march in the hot summer sun might have won fans for the teachers. – Black Press

A brief history of treaty talks B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher A few weeks before the landmark decision declaring aboriginal title proven by the Tsilhqot’in Nation, I picked up a used university textbook that looked like a handy reference. Geography in British Columbia: People and Landscapes in Transition, by Brett McGillivray (UBC Press, Second Edition), is a good reference, except where it strays from geography into politics. This 2005 edition came out not long before the B.C. Treaty Commission started producing agreements, notably with the Tsawwassen First Nation. It recounts the establishment of the Ministry of Native Affairs by the Bill Vander Zalm government in 1990, and

the election the next year of Mike Harcourt’s NDP, who reversed the province’s historical legal position and tried to accept the existence of aboriginal title. At this point the textbook departs from the facts and leads its freshman pupils into left-wing dogma. McGillivray writes: “When the Liberal Party won the 2001 election (with all but two seats), it launched a province-wide referendum on treaty negotiations, prompting commentators to suggest the government was ‘trying to impose 19th century ideas on a 21st century problem’.” “Commentators” in the above quote is of course only one commentator, veteran lefty Vancouver columnist Stephen Hume. This quote was indeed representative of the media consensus at the time. On TV, aboriginal leaders burned their ballots while denouncing the referendum as racist

and divisive. The public, and later university students, were taught that Gordon Campbell’s government was exploiting racism for political gain. In fact, this referendum was one of a long series of efforts to untangle the legal knot left by Canada and B.C.’s failure to complete historical treaties after 1900. Seven of the eight questions in the 2002 referendum were simply to confirm the existing position of B.C. treaty negotiators. The purpose, then as now, was to settle treaties. The first question asked if private land should be exempt from expropriation for treaty settlements. Private property rights are not so much a 19th century idea as a 17th century one, defined in 1690 by John Locke. What remains true today is that no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights.

Standard

See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted. The Tsilhqot’in dropped claims of property held by non-aboriginal residents from their appeal to the highest court, a wise move considering that pushing people from their homes would lead to violent confrontations. Other referendum questions related to preserving public access to Crown land for hunting, fishing and park use. All were endorsed. The only new question asked if aboriginal self-government “should have the characteristics of local government, with powers delegated from Canada and British Columbia.” Arguably, that’s what has emerged from the Tsilhqot’in case, which upholds provincial jurisdiction over public forest policy on environmental and fire protection

on aboriginal title lands. By 2009, frustrated with a lack of progress, due to Ottawa’s inaction as well as inconsistent leadership from aboriginal communities, the Campbell government tried to cut the knot. Its proposed Recognition Act would have accepted a form of aboriginal title across the province, based on 30 historical “indigenous nations.” That idea originated not with the province but with the First Nations Leadership Council. It was rejected by a broader group of aboriginal leaders later that year. The best way forward, also endorsed in the 2002 referendum, is sharing land use planning. B.C. has also begun sharing resource revenues. The most likely path, however, is back to court for years to come. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Unions should hold back demands as coffers aren’t full My state of nausea with the ongoing bleating of the “give the teachers what they want” saga, has forced me to add my own bleating. I think the main question which should be asked is will all those demanded raises really improve the education of the children? I think not. I do think it is a tactic always used to bamboozle the heart but not reach the logical mind of all non-teachers. Don’t get me wrong, I am in no

way against people being appropriately compensated for the work they perform. On the contrary. How do you feel/ think when someone is protected by a union and they are totally ineffective in their job, especially the teaching of your children? Should they automatically benefit? Are you really bedazzled by the result of the present education method? The semi-literacy of too many children, for example. Maybe it is not the

small percentage of poor teachers who are at fault. Maybe it is the system that pushes the kids ahead even when they don’t have a clue what is going on just so they stay in the same class as their peers. What do you think/feel when people, who work in very difficult jobs and work long hours and weeks, are told that there is no more money to pay them what they are entitled to and deserve? All workers would like to have not only the salary,

but also the copious benefits the teachers presently receive, even without the increases. Maybe, we as a caring society could kill two birds with one stone and get our heads together in order to come up with ways that the city, the province and Ottawa could eliminate the always-present waste from the revenue we provide for them so that the teachers, and everyone else, would be able to receive their(reasonable) desires and the city, its needs met.

Just think, when council requires more cash, they will now be more imaginative than solely the annual increase in property taxes, especially of those with limited incomes. Until we do that, or something similar, maybe the deserving teachers, and all other unions in the near future, could hold back in their demands as most of the citizenry are forced to do. At present, the coffers do not appear to be flush. Just think of this, our

city being recognized for the many ways we have all contributed to, and insisted that our excellent

Hydro project destructive to environment The B.C. government’s decision to create another mega hydro project in northern B.C. 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

CST means the world to me,” said Koopman, who was born in Hope. “My wife also works part-time and has been supporting me since we moved back to Vancouver. Having some extra funds to help pay off our student loans and my tuition definitely makes it a little easier to breathe!” Upon graduation, Koopman plans to specialize in family medicine and help individuals in underprivileged communities. A passionate volunteer, he has been deeply involved with École Ebenezer, a Haitian children’s school in Munoz, Dominican Republic ever since he initially volunteered with the project in 2006. It’s clear that Koopman’s future will include some sort of international humanitarian work.

“Because learning is so important to us, my wife and I also help finance the education of a young Haitian boy living in the Dominican Republic,” he added. “I was fortunate enough to benefit from the CST Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) that my parents set up many years ago, and I want other kids to be able to focus on their studies worry-free. Without the support I received towards my own education, I don’t think I’d be where I am today.” Each year, CST grants graduate awards and scholarships to students from across Canada who benefited from a Canadian Scholarship Trust Plan and/ or who has been accepted into their first year of a qualifying post-secondary program.

Hope weightlifter sets provincial record Barry Stewart Hope Standard

It can’t be certain that 15-yearold Karam Gill will reach his goal of becoming an Olympic wrestler… but one that is certain: he is putting in all the ground work — and then some — to get himself closer to his dream. Along the path to the ultimate goal, other opportunities open up, such as last month’s B.C. Power Lifting Association provincial championships, where Gill placed third against six lifters who were all older than him. He also set a new provincial record for his age in the bench press: 120 kilograms (265 pounds.) “I wasn’t really expecting to go this far,” said Gill on Monday, while taking a break at Hope’s Reflexions gym. “It’s more of an aid to my wrestling.” Gill trains three times a week with Boota Dhinsa at the Guru Gobind Singh wrestling club in Abbotsford. That covers the wrestling strategies and techniques — but for strength training, Gill travels back to Abbotsford three more times, to do work with Joel Klassen. Any days off ? “Friday,” he said, “but then I come here to train.” Klassen, who Gill said squatted 340 kg (750 lbs) at the Canadian nationals two years ago, invited Gill to the B.C. championships which were held on Granville Island on June 21 and 22. “They had squats, dead lifts and bench press but I just went for the bench press,” said Gill. It was his first time being in such competitions. Just like jockeys, boxers and wrestlers, weightlifters have fluctuations in their weight and can control some of it through water intake and water shedding. “For five days, I had been drinking eight liters of water a day,” said Gill, who weighed 95 kg on Monday. “I had to lose seven pounds of water to get into the 93 kilo class,” he said, grinning. “I made lots of trips to the washroom.” The group he was in was meant for age 16 to 19 lifters but Gill said his coach vouched for him that he had lifted 115 kilos, so he was allowed to enter. Gill warmed up in the prep

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Fifteen-year-old Karam Gill set a new B.C. record in the bench press for his age at the BC Power Lifting Association provincials, in Vancouver last month. The record now stands at 120 kilograms or 265 pounds. Gill plans to train through the summer and started power clean lifting on Wednesday in Abbotsford.

area, with half weights and reps of 10, then came out and chalked his back and hands and got his wrists wrapped. “You chalk your back because they want to see you arch your back when you lift,” he explained. “You get three attempts. I started with 235 pounds and found that was easy, so I went with 255 on my second try — then on the

last try, 265.” Between attempts, the other six lifters took their turns. “They have four judges and a spotter,” Gill said. “Everything is slow. They say ‘Unrack,’ then ‘Start’ and you bring the weights down. “Then you have to hold the bar against your chest for a second or two and they say ‘Press.’ You have

to hold it at the top for a few seconds, then they say ‘Rack.’ “I’ve done 275 pounds at the gym before, with no commands and pauses,” he added. Gill’s official 120 kg (265 lb) lift broke the old B.C. record of 105 kg (231 lb), set two years ago. The winning lift, by an 18-yearold, was 147 kg (325 lbs). Gill’s best gave him a bronze medal in

his weight class. Gill’s dad, Harry, accompanied his son at the competition. Karam figures his dad could maybe press 135 pounds now. “But back in the day, he pressed 315.” Gill plans to train through the summer and started power clean lifting on Wednesday at the Abbotsford gym.

SAVOLA, Phyllis Rosella October 17, 1936 - June 30, 2014 Phyllis Rosella Savola passed away quietly on Monday June 30, 2014 at Fraser Canyon Hospital with family at her side. She will be dearly missed by her husband, Raymond, of more than 58 years; by her children Patricia (Iris), Susan (Henry), and Stephen (Fern); by her siblings, Dolly, Sharon (Dennis), and Harold (Elsie)..and by all of their families which includes 4 grandchildren and 4 great grandchildren. Phyllis was predeceased by her parents, Ida and Jalmer, and by her sister, Helen. Phyllis was born Oct 17, 1936 in Shaunavon, Saskatchewan. Raised mainly in Vancouver, she lived many places thereafter. She graduated high school in Kansas, and after returning home to marry Raymond they lived in Woss, Burnaby, Boston Bar, and then settled in Hope to raise their family. They were active in the community and later in life moved to Duncan and then Maple Ridge. Phyllis also loved to travel for pleasure and often trekked the globe with family and friends. Phyllis's life was not defined by MS though she lived bravely with it since 1970- blazing a trail of alternative medicine pathways, and being singularly instrumental in getting acupuncture legalized for use in BC. Strongly political, Phyllis was the first woman to run for Hope Council losing only by

a slim margin; passionately involved in organic food as a way of healing, she was a fledgling member of the Hope food co-operative; as a lifelong learner, she was the first adult woman student to take her toddler son to classes at SFU. Phyllis had many long-time friends throughout her life and she loved to play bridge, cribbage, and scrabble - all of which she played enthusiastically, often, and well. Phyllis returned to Hope when her fight with MS necessitated the care that was provided by the staff and friends of the Fraser Hope Lodge. Phyllis's family would like to say a special thank you to all the caring folks at Fraser Hope Lodge, to her caregivers, Shirley and Sky, and to the medical staff at Fraser Canyon Hospital. We will celebrate Phyllis's life with a get-together and light lunch at 1pm on July 19, 2014 where we will honour her and her love of humour...so please bring your stories, a joke, a skit or any other way we can have a final laugh in her memory. The venue is located at 6418 Mt. Lehman Rd, Abbotsford. We are making a special "Phyllis Garden" at Sue's. If you wish to contribute, please bring a potted plant or a small garden ornament labelled with your name...or donate to your favourite charity, or just come and say goodbye with us.

Our tradiƟon of excellence is built on strong company values, a challenging environment, and conƟnuous development. To explore current career opportuniƟes and become a part of our community, visit our website at www.tolko.com and submit your resume by July 20, 2014. We thank all candidates for their interest; however only those selected for an interview will be contacted.
