Burns believes council transparency and communication with the public are essential. She points out there’s multiple ways the district can work with the community to curb overspending. One suggestion Burns makes is more volunteer involvement from residents, similar to how Hope Commu-
nities in Bloom has saved the district thousands of taxpayer dollars through their efforts. “We’ve got to keep the taxes down and by helping volunteer a little bit, I think it will help to do so,” she added. Burns is the only person that’s announced her council candidacy so far. However, nomination papers don’t need to be filed until 4 p.m. on Oct.
10. As for the mayoral race, Lloyd Forman, Wilfried Vicktor and Cindy Young plan to run for the community’s top job this fall. After further consideration, Coun. Peter Robb has decided to leave politics after this term and will not run for mayor on Nov. 15. He’s looking forward to enjoying retirement and spending more time with family.

RCMP monitoring highway parking Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Anglers flocking to the banks of the Fraser River are being warned not to park along highway shoulders. Since the sockeye salmon fishery opened this month, Hope RCMP has received several complaints about vehicles parked on the sides of Highways 1 and 7. “Ultimately public safety is the biggest issue and if the vehicles are parked in such a
manner that causes traffic or to tow a vehicle if it’s parked safety issues, then we’ll have in a designated no parking to take the approzone, unless there’s priate action which an emergency situacould consist of ticktion.

We don’t want to impede on your fishing, but having said that you can’t impede on the traffic flow either.”
Parents get website guide for strike Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. government has launched a new website to prepare parents for a possible continuation of the teacher strike after Labour Day. The website, www.bcparentinfo.ca, promises the latest bargaining updates on B.C.’s festering teacher dispute, and will act as a portal for parents registering to collect $40 a day for each child 12 and under if the strike drags on.
It also offers links to online learning resources from school districts, which have proliferated in recent years. Talks have continued under a media blackout since mediator Vince Ready met the two sides last week. “Mr. Ready agreed to monitor the situation, and to resume exploratory talks or commence full mediation when he believes it will be productive,” the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association said in a brief
statement. Negotiations broke off and a full-scale strike and lockout ended the school year in June. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher met both sides earlier but declined to attempt mediation, after finding too large a gap between the two sides. Education Minister Peter Fassbender and BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron have maintained that the BCTF’s benefit demands remain far beyond those of other public sector unions
that have settled contracts. Also at issue is class size and special needs support, with BCPSEA’s latest offer rejected by the union and the latest of a series of court actions scheduled for this fall. Ready’s last involvement in the long-running series of teacher disputes was as an industrial inquiry commissioner in 2007. At that time he recommended that a senior provincial official be involved in talks along with an independent mediator.
Campfire ban lifted again due to cooler, wet weather Campfires are once again allowed in the Hope area. The current campfire ban was lifted last Friday in the Fraser Fire Zone only (a campfire ban still remains in place for all other areas in the Coastal Fire Centre region) due to recent precipitation and a forecast of cool and rainy weather for the Lower Mainland.
The long-term weather forecast indicates a return to warm and dry conditions in the near future. If that happens, a campfire ban may be reintroduced in the Fraser Fire Zone. The Coastal Fire Centre reminds the public that campfires cannot be larger than a halfmetre high by a halfmetre wide. Anyone who lights a campfire
must have a hand tool (such as a shovel) or at least eight litres of water available to fully extinguish it. Never leave a campfire unattended and make sure that the ashes are completely cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time. Anyone found in violation of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket of up to
$345 or, if convicted in court, may be fined up to $100,000 and sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes a wildfire, the person may be subject to a penalty of up to $10,000 and ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs. Prohibitions implemented by the Coastal Fire Centre covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and pri-
vate lands. To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or non-compliant open burning, call 1-800-6635555 toll-free or dial *5555 on a cellphone.

Chris Lepine, owner of Christopher’s Springs, speaks to the regional district trustees at a public hearing at Harrison Mills Community Hall last Wednesday evening. Lepine has put in an application to have a small section of his land on Chehalis Forest Service Road rezoned to industrial to allow for a water bottling plant that could bottle just over 3,000 gallons a day.
FVRD considers rezoning request for water bottling plant Jessica Peters Black Press
Chris Lepine is hoping to share the natural taste of a Harrison Mills spring with the rest of the world. And if the Fraser Valley Regional District approves a rezoning request for a small portion of his land to allow for a small bottling plant, he could do just that. He would also be able to provide a handful of jobs locally, and helping to promote the rural region he calls home. Lepine is the owner of Christopher’s Springs, at 14400 Chehalis Forest Service Road. The land sits between Elbow Lake and Echo Lake, and includes a portion of Elbow Creek, where Lepine already draws out water that he sells in bulk. That water currently is trucked out to an off-site bottling plant. He is hoping that building the plant will help build the local economy, rather than creating jobs elsewhere. His proposed bottling plant would require about .7 hectares of his 13 hectare parcel, and the rezoning is necessary to change that land from institutional to industrial. His water license allows up to 25,000 gallons of water a day, but the bottling plant he’s hoping to build would only produce about 3,280 gallons of drinking water per day. The FVRD held a public hearing last Wednesday at the Harrison Mills Community Hall. More than 100 people turned up to hear more details about the proposed project and land use changes. Several people spoke against the project’s plan to draw water out of Elbow Creek, but were reminded that the water license is a separate provincial matter
and out of the hands of the regional district. Public comment is now closed regarding the land use change, and prior to the public hearing the FVRD reported it had received 46 written responses. Of those, 34 were in favour of Lepine’s proposal, and 11 opposed it. Supporters include his aunt, Betty Ann Faulkner, owner of Pretty Estates. Her father and grandfather were local pioneers who helped develop Harrison Mills into the community it is today, with a history stretching back to the late 1800s. “I believe our family’s entrepreneurship, it has helped the Harrison Mills area, and I think having this bottling plant would be better than having another housing development,” she added. Lepine told the crowd his own history with the land, as caretaker of Elbow Creek for the past 22 years. He is the contact person for mitigation along the creek, is the one who installed a fish ladder in that waterway, and operates two water systems and a power system at Pretty Estates. The watershed is important to him and his family, and he promised that if the watershed suffered harm from his project, he’d shut it down. But he doesn’t foresee that happening, he said. The lowest flow of Elbow Creek historically is about 2,000 gallons per minute, and he’s currently drawing .006 percent of that. At his full operation, he would be draing .012 percent of that lowest flow. “I’ve spent a great portion of my life taking care of Elbow Creek,” he said. However, the land use is what the regional district has to mull over before they make their de-
cision at a future meeting. Resident Cynthia Watson asked them to consider the fact they’ve made a corporate decision to not use bottled water within their offices and at meetings. Notably, FVRD director Wendy Bales sat in the audience instead of at the table with the rest of the directors. She is sitting out of the issue to avoid any potential conflict of interest. She did speak as a resident, though, to say that she is against any industrial development. Lepine stated that he has a backup plan if the FVRD chooses not to allow the rezoning. “I will go elsewhere,” he said, shipping the water to a bottling plant in an industrial area, most likely in Abbotsford. If the plant is built in Harrison Mills as Lepine hopes, he will be subject to higher property taxes. Some of the residents who spoke out against the project stated they are concerned that a bottling plant would eventually grow and become a problem, attract more industrial activity, and that the plant would be bought up by Nestlé Waters, who operate in Hope. Resident Kevin Sass noted that the closest neighbour to the plant is Chris Lepine himself, and that having the plant would offer good jobs locally. Summer Dhillon stated that the plant could help “put Harrison Mills on the map.” She has built a company that is working on branding the area, and securing funding from the province to help promote it. “We need to bring more money to this community,” she said.

Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
Consider where tax dollars go A Fraser Institute study was released last week, showing the share of Canadians’ income going towards governments at all levels has risen from 33.5 per cent in 1961 to 41.8 per cent in 2013. It’s important to put the study into context. The Fraser Institute is a think tank which believes in smaller government, and has steadfastly engaged in many studies over the years to debunk “big government.” Some of those studies have been quite useful, others not so much. The institute also participates in the worldwide “Tax Freedom Day” event, which marks the day when people begin to work for themselves each year, as opposed to the taxman. This year, the date in Canada was June 9. All that said, there is no question that some of the money paid in taxes is not well-spent. While abuses by politicians like Alison Redford or Mike Duffy get the headlines, there are many programs in government of limited or almost no use. One B.C. example is the carbon tax rebate to large corporations, paid by school districts and hospitals with tax dollars. However, as the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (the polar opposite to the Fraser Institute) notes, it’s very difficult to compare 1961 to 2014. Governments provide medicare now — there was little spending on health care in 1961. That’s where a lot of tax dollars go. There are also many more government programs that redistribute funds to lower-income Canadians, including the GST credit and the carbon tax credit in B.C. Governments certainly have room to cut. A focus on how much taxes we pay as a percentage of income is useful, because taxpayers need to consider whether we get full value for the money we spend each year. - Black Press
What we know about the mine spill B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Today I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known. As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shutdown and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employees plus management back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site. Imperial Metals applied earlier
this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amendment to a water release permit issued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accumulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political corruption story). The reason water release has been allowed is that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal contamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for human con-

sumption. For an example of acid mine drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years. Before that, acid-produced toxic metal pollution drained from the abandoned mine into Howe Sound for decades. Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of long-term water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and copper, with “leachability” results to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken. On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high wa-
Standard
ter warning in its history. This was not a “breach,” contrary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that. It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happening as mine management found ways to extend operation, including an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulverized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumulation is still there for all to see, as is the crosssection of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4. It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engineers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the design of the earthworks was not adequate,

or it was not adequately followed. TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sensational claim they could find. Tourism operators are pleading with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors. Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propaganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region. No such fish has been produced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Governments must control spending financial trouble from debt, such as the dysfunctional Pacific Western Airlines culture in its expanded life as Canadian Airlines. Politicians do pay some attention because credit rating agency evaluations increase cost of borrowing. Occasionally one reforms, as the profligate Bob Rae did in Ontario after getting the province into financial trouble. Provincial politicians tend to be profligate in spending, including on grandiose projects – Ontario being a current example of huge projects and mis-managed deals that will burden Ontario taxpayers for decades. (And the rest of us, because of the federal
government’s crazy system of transfer payments that rescue the foolish.) Every election they try to buy votes by promising the unaffordable. Governments must cut activities. The B.C. government has not addressed barriers to employment created by its quotas in agriculture and transportation, for example. It continues to spend on handouts to moochers, including companies that won’t invest in their own capability by training employees. And on public relations, as if most voters believe much of it. At the same time, government must protect against initiation of force. The NDP added an additional cost barrier to individuals seeing jus-
tice – court costs. The B.C. “Liberals” have not handled criminals and mentally ill people well, and we can expect from their history of excusing behaviour that the NDP will not when they gain power again. Voters in B.C. have an opportunity to reduce operational spending by insisting on cutting activities such as interference with honest people’s attempt to build and earn, endless reports, and fancy flower beds. I advocate the savings be put into the reason for government – protecting individuals against initiation of force, which at the municipal level is by policing. Keith Sketchley
Fletcher’s opinions not shared by farmers Re: Farm changes a great leap forward, B.C. Views (Aug. 14) Tom Fletcher’s opinions are not shared by any farmers I know. The B.C. government’s post-facto “public consultation process” is farcical given that Bill 24, which amends the Agricultural Land Commission Act, was passed this May. An authentic public consultation process should have been multi-year and province-wide, not invitation-only meetings and a one-month-long token public feedback process which highlight yet again the magnitude of our democratic deficit. Fletcher’s analogy to Mao Tse-tung’s Great Leap Forward is apt, however, given B.C.’s democratic deficit and because Mao’s vision gave rise to China’s Great Famine, resulting in tens of millions of deaths. The Great Leap Forward has been defined as “a very expensive disaster.”
British Columbians will also pay a high price for the B.C. Liberal scheme to drastically change the ALR, as our food insecurity will increase and farm land even more polluted. The “farming” activities proposed by the B.C. Liberals will reduce the land available to grow food. Alcohol has very limited nutritional value. The B.C. Liberals’ continued support for industrial agriculture, one of the world’s biggest causes of greenhouse gas emissions, combined with fracking, oil development and anaerobic digesters will further pollute farmland. Manure from organic farms is worth far more as fertilizer than as fodder for anaerobic digesters; only conventional farmers would seek to use their contaminated manure to generate power. The B.C. Liberals need to remember that we all eat, including their buddies in the petroleum and the liquor sectors. Louise Taylor
A good education needed for a successful future The B.C. Supreme Court ruled that there be a certain level of learning assistance in classrooms. This happened in April 2012 and January 2014, when it ruled as unconstitutional two statutes enacted by the BC Liberal government, which restricted teachers’ bargaining rights. Money is being spent by the government by continually going back to the B.C. Supreme Court to dispute past rulings. A good percentage of students in our public school system are not get-
ting the education they need to equip themselves for the real world. Then a good number of them end up getting in trouble with the law. Some cannot afford lawyers, and we as taxpayers end up paying for these lawyers. Then there are the judges, court staff, jail guards, vehicles and more buildings for courts and jails. I cannot understand why the BC Liberal government is fighting against having a good level of teaching assistants in classrooms. I understand that is the hold-up in

out unable to read. That is when I first started to think that we needed more learning assistants in schools. Yes, I understand that we have to pay for what we get. I just do not want to pay to slow down our already-slow legal system, just to have fewer learning assistants in classrooms. We really need these teachers. Now the BC Liberals are suggesting paying families to keep young people out of the public school system altogether. Bill Taylor

Re: B.C. back in black, deep in debt, B.C. Views (July 24) Tom Fletcher’s column on B.C.’s operating budget and debt touches on a balance that must be examined. Some capital investments are made to reduce operating cost – some of the new building costs at Royal Jubilee Hospital does that, for example. Some improve reliability – the earthquake resistant fire hall in View Royal for example. Some add capacity – sometimes to meet demand, sometimes “just because.” In your household there is a limit based on income. Similarly in business, borrowing has to be paid back – companies often get into

Kinder Morgan doesn’t need permission to access city land Wanda Chow Black Press
08/14H_E7
SUDOKU PUZZLE 457
The verdict is in from the National Energy Board—Kinder Morgan does not need the City of Burnaby’s permission to access city land for its geotechnical studies. The company has applied to the NEB to expand its Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby to allow for increased oil sands crude exports to overseas markets. It has announced that its current preferred route between its Burnaby tank farm and Westridge Marine Terminal on Burrard Inlet is to drill through Burnaby Mountain. The NEB has extended the review process to allow the company time to do the necessary surveys and geotechnical work in the cityowned Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. But so far, Burnaby city hall, which opposes the project, has not yet given the company permission to do the work on its parkland. Kinder Morgan asked the NEB for confirmation that the NEB Act
allows pipeline companies to access land, even without the owner’s permission, to undertake such work. Burnaby city hall argued against that interpretation, even launching a constitutional challenge claiming the NEB did not have the power to override municipal bylaws. But the NEB rejected Burnaby’s arguments on both counts. “The Board considers it telling that the legal basis so described lacks any reference to a violation of the Constitution,” the NEB decision said in dismissing the constitutional challenge. As for the land access issue, the NEB said, “Trans Mountain has the power to enter into and on Burnaby land without Burnaby’s agreement … Trans Mountain does not require a Board order for temporary access, nor has it requested a Board order.” Carey Johannesson, Trans Mountain’s project lead for land and right-of-way, said it’s good news for the company but it still wants to work with Burnaby. It has applied to the city for permission and has answered its questions.
“It doesn’t just apply to Burnaby, it’s just a general right that any pipeline company gets under Section 73 [of the NEB Act] when it’s trying to fix the route of a pipeline that’s under NEB jurisdiction,” Johannesson said. He said the company plans to contact the city and inform them of the ruling and that it intends to move forward with its surveying work and will let them know when it will happen. “Our plan is to still see if we can work with the city. We’ve had a relationship with Burnaby on this pipeline for over 60 years. With the new pipeline it’s going to continue for a lot longer. So it’s in nobody’s best interests to not have a good working relationship.” NEB spokesperson Sarah Kiley said Burnaby could file a motion asking the NEB to reconsider either decision but otherwise it’s up to the company and city to decide how to proceed. “Should Trans Mountain go ahead with this they are required to compensate the city for any damages that they cause,” Kiley noted.

Independent engineering inspections have been ordered for Mount Polley mine near Williams Lake and nearly 100 other mine tailings ponds with permits across the province, with reports to be complete by the end of January. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett announced the dual reviews Monday. The Mount Polley investigation is to be complete by Jan. 31 and will be done concurrently with the B.C. govern-
ment’s legally required probes by B.C.’s chief inspector of mines and the environment ministry, which looks at the longer-term effects of the Aug. 4 tailings spill. Bennett said costs will be covered by Imperial Metals for Mount Polley and by all operators of mines with permits to operate nearly 100 tailings facilities in B.C. “Certainly in the last 40 years there’s no evidence of a tailings dam breach in British Columbia, but rare or not, it happened, and so the public’s confidence I think is shaken”

ANSWERS FOR AUGUST 14 CROSSWORD PUZZLE CAN BE FOUND IN THE CLASSIFIED SECTION OF THIS PAPER
Bennett said at a news conference in Vancouver. “That’s why we need to get these three experts involved as quickly as we’re getting them involved.” The Mount Polley panel includes UBC mine engineering professor Dirk Van Zyl, U.S. consulting engineer Steven Vick, whose earlier investigations included the 2005 New Orleans levee breach that followed Hurricane Katrina, and Norbert Morgenstern, an Alberta civil engineering professor who has worked on 140 mine projects.
Bennett said the panel was chosen with approval of the Williams Lake and Soda Creek Indian Bands, and their report will be made available to the band councils at the same time as government. Independent inspections of other mine tailings ponds must be completed Dec. 1, a change from the March 31 deadline for inspections that are required annually. Bennett said these inspections will each have to be reviewed by an independent geotechnical engineering firm.

Alexis Grace wanted to be an actress. She wanted to sing and dance on Broadway and star in the movies. Instead, she became a cheerleader, champion, and advocate for Seabird Island. It’s a role she wouldn’t trade for anything. Grace is the manager of Employment, Training and Social Development at Seabird Island. For four years, she’s been connecting at-risk youth and adults with employment and supports. She refuses to use cookie-cutter solutions. If her clients need a haircut, styling products, or new clothes, she gets them. If they need a ride, she drives. And if they go AWOL, she tracks them down. “It’s about providing them what they need from start to finish,” she says. “The youth know if they don’t show up for work, or if there’s something going on and I haven’t heard from them, I will be at their door. “I genuinely care about my clients. It’s more than clients, it’s more than community, they’re family.” Interestingly, Grace didn’t grow up on the reserve. Her grandparents moved away in the 1960s. But when her mother, Karen BobbReid, who had recently returned to Seabird, died of a brain aneurysm 11 years ago, a sudden passion for her community and her people was sparked. Grace, who was 19 years old, had never before seen a funeral so large and impressive as her mother’s. Bobb-Reid had been a prominent figure in criminal justice, working at Kwìkwèxwelhp Healing Village, a minimum-security institution just outside of Chehalis. The Seabird Island gymnasium was packed, and overflow had spread outside. It was a mix of fam-

Alexis Grace revamped the Seabird Island food bank. She got rid of “belly fillers” like Kraft Dinner and canned pork and beans, and replaced them with traditional foods – canned fruits and vegetables, fish caught locally, and wild game hunted by members.
ily, band members and tough, hardened inmates “drumming and singing songs and crying inconsolably.” “Just seeing what she was able to do in the community, and the community she worked in, I think, without even knowing it, inspired me,” Grace says. “I now look at everything I do to honour my mother.” Grace was hired at Seabird Island six years ago for a low-paying, clerical position, a job the band was hesitant giving her because she was over-qualified. Grace has a bachelor of fine arts and a masters of education. “I wanted to continue the work that maybe my mother didn’t finish,” she says. “I wanted to connect with people, be involved in their lives, hear their stories. “I was confident it would lead to some-
thing more.” When Grace took over employment, training and social development, she instantly put her stamp on it. She didn’t want it to be a place people were ashamed to go, but rather warm and welcoming. She rearranged the office, making it more inviting for people to relax and socialize. Every morning a plate of snacks and coffee is put out, and a nutritious lunch is served on the day social assistance is distributed. Grace also revamped the food bank. She got rid of “belly fillers” like Kraft Dinner and canned pork and beans, and replaced them with traditional foods – canned fruits and vegetables, fish caught locally, and wild game hunted by members. It’s all about hunting, gathering and
preserving their own, local foods. “It’s about reducing poverty,” she says. “Hunger is a fundamental issue in First Nations communities. In trying to reduce the cycle of dependency and poverty, I think food is probably a really good place to start.” Next year, Grace will be adding a community garden to the program. The 31-year-old, now pregnant with her second child, and working through her second term on council, has lofty goals for Seabird Island, but goals she is sure can be achieved. “I want to see Seabird more independent,” she says. “And I want to see everyone, regardless of last name, social standing, number of children, wherever they may be in their lives, feel how they deserve to feel in the community.”

The connections to nature program at Hope Preschool & Daycare Centre includes daily discoveries in nature with Peggy Van den Heuvel and monthly planned outdoor experiences with Stephanie Hooker of the Hope Mountain Centre.
With September just around the corner, spaces are filling up quickly at Hope Preschool & Daycare Centre. Owner Lousha Angel opened the facility in January, fulfilling a life-long dream of establishing a program that incorporates a holistic approach to early childhood education. “I felt it was essential to create a program that nurtured children and where children felt nurtured,” said Angel, who has been involved in childcare for 26 years and managed different programs around the region. “What we provide for the children is the reciprocal relationship between the child, teacher and environment.” The Reggio Emilia and Waldorfinspired program at Hope Preschool & Daycare Centre encourages children to use all their senses and seek a greater understanding through observation, analysis and piecing together what they experience. The goal is to facilitate communication, collaboration and independence amongst the children, teachers, parents and community. Play areas are purposely set up to present opportunities for children’s discovery and learning. This ranges from painting on easels to imagination playscapes. The outdoor play yard, for example, incorporates natural wood play structures, organic garden beds produced by the children, mason bees, stumps, logs, rocks, workbenches, a large sandbox and mud table. “There’s a lot of opportunities to connect children to real life experiences through nature,” said Angel. “I believe that teaching children to take care of the environment, to be responsible for the environment and to understand how things work in nature will ultimately help them to be caring individuals for the environment. Another thing we do is bring animals into the
program to teach not only empathy but that caring for animals is part of having an animal.” Angel pointed out the learning environment is always changing, reshaping and rediscovering itself based on the children’s interests, needs or the seasons. “The aesthetics of the environment are just as important as the different centres that children will explore and learn at,” she said. “How we present the environment is in such a way that not only nurtures the child, but evokes the child to learn and discover. As the child is discovering, we’re there to facilitate learning and expand on their learning.” Educators use inquiry, imagination and the expansion of ideas with the children, and while doing so, document these “learning moments” and experiences daily. “We will put these experiences in binders or on the bulletin board so parents are always involved in what is going on with their children,” added Angel. The preschool program focuses on many types of learning models to help prepare children for kindergarten. They get an opportunity to take part in a variety of programs including connections to nature, artistic expressions, music, fine arts, yoga, community connections, and outdoor programs offered by Hope Mountain Centre. There are also field trips and outings planned throughout the year. Angel has four qualified educators working with her to deliver the programs, each with their own special interest. Daycare is provided Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., while the preschool program runs daily from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Hope Preschool & Daycare Centre is located at 310 Queen St. For more information, call 604-869-6555 or visit the Hope Preschool & Daycare Centre Facebook page.

Local author releases new book
Black Press
They say the only way to be a writer is to keep writing. So that’s what author Michelle Vandepol does every day. The mother of three busy boys wakes up well before dawn to put in that precious time at the keyboard. Some days she works on fresh material as it comes to her. Other times she’s fleshing out story ideas that came to her on her commute to her day job coordinating the Hope Centre for the University of the Fraser Valley. And because she puts in the hours, sometimes she’s sending off a manuscript to an e-publishing company. “Writing around the rest of life is a decidedly unglamorous thing,� she said. “I did a lot of going to bed at 9 p.m. mid-week so I could get in seven hours of sleep to fit writing in at 4 a.m. before my side job (recruiting for Japanese students) from 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. and then getting everyone out the door to work and school.� Her hard work and persistence has paid off. Vandepol has recently released her second fiction offering, a collection of short stories titled Stories Your Mother Never Told You. Like her first book, Mother Mexico, Vandepol has chosen to offer it online to get it directly into the hands of her readers. She remains without an agent, by choice, happy to create fiction on the

side while continuing to work on numerous other literary projects. “Looking for an agent is time consuming,� she said. “If one found me I’d be interested in sitting down to talk, but I’d rather spend my time for now just writing and then getting that writing to my readers in the most efficient way possible, which is e-publishing.� Stories Your Mother Never Told You is available on Smashwords.com for about the cost of a cup of coffee. The process is quick, and the platform allows users to read on a mobile device, computer, or even to print off a pdf version. She was one of the authors featured at the Harrison Festival of the Arts Literary Night, which was organized by UFV and focused on works by that
university’s faculty. That night, she read the first of the short stories included her collection, The Lesson. The story is a light-hearted look at the differences in parenting, written with Vandepol’s sense of humour. It was a chance to interact with her readers, something authors don’t often get to experience, she said. She has another reading event coming up, and is keeping busy as an editor for a magazine. She’s also working on a writing coach book with her colleague, young adult author Allison Kilgannon. While writing is a great passion, she couldn’t devote herself entirely to it. Her work, and time spent volunteering, is just too important to push to the side, she said. “I can’t imagine just
writing,� she said. “Inspiration is drawn from every aspect of my day, from my commute to my family to my volunteering and my work.� She admits she does her best writing on her commute. The UFV Hope Centre recently offered a writers weekend retreat, where Vandepol had the chance to connect with other authors at various stages in their careers. One of those writers completed their work at the retreat, and it was published shortly afterward. “It is always enjoyable to take the mystique away from writing and make it accessible for those who dream about doing it,� she said. The next writers retreat is in late November, she added. She has some advice for writers who are struggling to finish a project, get published, or those who are struggling to find the time to write at all. “I would say to writers out there, just get to paper or keyboard whatever you have time for and collect it. It’s like a savings account you can draw on later.� She also treats her writing just like any other job, rather than a romanticized vision. “I set up deadlines for myself. If we can reach them for work or school, we can reach them for artistic pursuits as well,� she said. Michelle Vandepol’s work can be found at smashwords.com.

It’s about passing down traditions and culture.” In 1993, Aida Freeman (née Southwell) donated more than half of her mother’s basket collection to the Langley Centennial Museum, and the remainder to Yale Historic Site the following year. The collection in Yale had already been researched and documented, including biographies of the basket makers. The Fraser Canyon Roots Basketry Workshop kicks off at 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 23.

Kites of different shapes and sizes will be soaring high above Lightning Lake next weekend. Manning Park Resort is hosting its first-ever Wings on the Wind Kite Festival at the day use area on Aug. 30. A kite building workshop will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., followed by a group kite launch at 2:30 p.m. There will also be a barbecue for participants and appearance by Jerry the Moose, the BC Parks mascot. “With all our interactive programs, the goal is to make it so there’s something fun and educational for the whole family,” said event organizer Jo Hughes. “People will get an opportunity to try and create something and get their creative juices going, and also witness what will hopefully be a really spectacular event as well. If we can get lots of kites going up at once it should be absolutely amazing to see.” The Lightning Lake day use area is an ideal spot for kite flying as it’s often quite breezy in the afternoon. Manning Park Resort will be supplying kite kits for $15, or people can bring their own kite from home to launch. “We’re kind of hoping people will decorate them to be natural things that fly such as butterflies, bees, birds and bats,” said Hughes. “We’re really trying to get some fake wildlife up in the sky.” Manning Park Resort is planning to turn the Wings on the Wind Kite Festival into an annual event for the Labour Day long weekend.

Fraser River bars packed with anglers Barry Stewart Hope Standard
We will have to wait and see how the final numbers come in — but this year’s sockeye run is so far living up to the high expectations. Fishers are packing the river bars from Deroche to Hope from dawn till dusk, trying to land their daily limit of two sockeyes and one spring (chinook) salmon. Sockeyes mature on a four-year cycle, so this year’s returning fish were spawned from the remarkable 2010 run, which saw approximately 28.3 million adult sockeye… after the disastrous 2009 run of only 1.6 million, according to Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) records. Local restaurants and motels are getting a boost out of the bonanza but the most pressing need for fisherfolk is a place to get a licence and stock up on gear. When Cheyenne Sports closed in the fall of 2011, Hope was left with nowhere to go for fishing supplies. Lily Liu, owner of the new Trends on End sports shop on Wallace Street, had a smaller shop on Commission Street last year but she wasn’t stocked up for fishing. “I started carrying fishing gear when I moved here in February,” said Liu on Monday, while juggling requests from a line of customers. “We’ve sold hundreds of licences so far. I haven’t counted them all yet.” Some parts of the river — especially when fished by inexperienced fishers — are highly prone to snagging the weights and hooks. This brings the customers back to town, to replace their lost gear… so Liu has to stay on top of her orders. She said that Bouncing Betties in the two to three ounce size are the most popular weight — and peo-

ple who want to hold onto their gear for more casts favour “leader savers,” handmade in Chilliwack. “All of the stores are having trouble keeping them in stock,” said Liu. “It’s crazy this year! One day, there were 20 people in the store and five of them wanted licences. I was typing so fast. “We’re open seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.,” said Liu. “People say, ‘We have to get our stuff earlier.’ “We’ll be back to the normal 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. when the season is over. The clos-
ing date is unknown — but it will be longer than normal because of the number of fish,” figured Liu. Terry Gyorfi (pronounced “Jer-fee”) of Chilliwack is a regular at the Exit 153 bar, just downstream of Jones Creek, where’s there’s plenty of parking and the walk to the river is relatively short and easy. It’s a tough place to fish, though, as the river-bottom rocks are bigger and the snags, plentiful. Gyorfi estimated that he lost $20 to $30 worth of weights
and hooks to get his two sockeyes on Monday. He’s usually been getting his two per day and the odd spring — but Monday was especially tough on his gear, despite his attempts to avoid the snags. Where most of the 30 to 40 fishers were casting from the shore, or were wading to their bare knees, Gyorfi went upstream and was up to his elbows in the water, in his chest waders. The plan was to get out past the worst of the tangled lines left by earlier

fishers. That was the plan, anyway. Gyorfi figured the tangled lines are mostly caused by people with spin-cast reels, which don’t allow you to control the slack, like you can on a level-wind reel. The other killer is the afternoon wind that puts a curve in your cast, he said. This gives you a slack line for the first part of your bottom-bounce — prime conditions for getting snagged. That Gyorfi can even get himself to the riverbank is
a miracle, as he was badly injured in a construction accident in 1993, falling three storeys and permanently losing the use of his left ear — and the balance correction that went with it. He’s now on a disability pension. Over the years, he said, he has gradually worked up his strength and balance to the point where he can safely get out in the deeper water. “For me, I don’t call it fishing,” said Gyorfi. “I call it physiotherapy.”

OBITUARIES
DERAY, Charles Alfred August 5, 1938 August 11, 2014 Charlie was born on August 5th 1938 in Fawcett, Alberta and died on August 11th 2014 in Hope B.C. He fought a brave battle with cancer for 2 years. Charlie believed in God and I’m sure he is in God’s loving arms even as we remember him now. He is sadly missed by his many friends and loving family. Charlie is survived by his sisters, Louise Kerik (Valemount, B.C.), Jean Pshyk (Camrose, Alberta) and Helen Renaud (Westlock, Alberta) and his brother Lewis Deray (Calgary, Alberta). He was predeceased by his parents, Gwendolyn and Julian Deray (Fawcett, Alberta). No service by family request. Donations may be made, on Charlie’s behalf, to the B.C. Cancer Foundation.
Marianne Robertson passed away peacefully on August 13, 2014, at the age of 88 years. She was born in Ladner BC, the daughter of Rev. Charles & Jean MacGillivray. Marianne’s early years were spent in Ladner, Revelstoke, and Pentiction, BC. She graduated from the Vancouver Provincial Normal School in 1946, at which time she moved to Hedley BC to begin her teaching career. It was there that she met fellow teacher Colin Robertson, and they married in 1949. Settling in Hope BC shortly thereafter, Marianne raised a family of 5 children and became an active member of the community. After 35 memorable years in Hope, Colin and Marianne moved to Tsawwassen, and embarked on travels that took them around the globe. Marianne remained in Tsawwassen until early 2012, at which time she moved to Amica Retirement Living in West Vancouver, to be close to family. Although Marianne was a prolific sewer and knitter, her passion was people, and she would always seek out the lone person and start a conversation. She participated in every activity that Amica had to offer and her motto was, “I’m game for anything”. Marianne will always remain in the hearts of her family, including children David (Sandy) Robertson, Susan Morris, Bruce (Laurie) Robertson, Jayne (George) Krauss, and Nancy Robertson, as well as grandchildren Stuart, Cameron, and Lara Morris, Jarret and Erin Robertson, and Alanna and Andrew Krauss. Many thanks to the staff of Amica West Vancouver, as well the ICU and palliative care units at LGH, for their care and compassion. A memorial service was held for Marianne, on Monday August 18, 2014 at the Tsawwassen United Church, 693 - 53 St., Tsawwassen.

District News August 2014
Hope Transfer Station The District of Hope will hold a Grand Opening of our new Transfer Station and Official Closing of our Landfill on Thursday September 4th, at 22980 Trans Canada Highway beginning at 10am. This has been one of the most challenging projects in recent memory for the District that has culminated in the elimination of pollution emanating from the Landfill into the Fraser River and a durable Transfer Station. This project also reflects another success for the Public-Private Partnership (P3) model where no Provincial Grant funding was used in its completion, worth approximately $4.5 million. There will also be an opportunity to tour the closed Landfill and the new Transfer Station which is now operated by First Class Waste Services. New summer hours of the transfer station are now in effect. They are open Wednesday to Saturday from 10am – 8pm, closed on Statutory Holidays. New for residential pickup is the elimination of bagged Green Waste in favour of reusable containers. You can now put out up to 5 (80 Litre) containers of Green Waste for pick up. Identify your containers with Green Waste and Recyling decals available for free at the District Hall. This change will reduce the amount of plastic bags handled at the Transfer Station.
Notice Of Public Hearing Pursuant to Section 892 of the Local Government Act, notice is hereby given that the District of Hope will conduct a Public Hearing with respect to District of Hope Zoning Amendment Bylaw 1352 and Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw 1338 (hereinafter referred to as Bylaws 1352 and 1338).

CORRESPONDENCE: One Management System - Dan Sharrers Aquatic Centre Council reviewed a letter from the Fraser Valley Regional District regarding the one management system for the Dan Sharrers Aquatic Centre. Council noted that they would like clarification if the intent of the one management system is to include the full complex or just the pool. A feasibility study should be undertaken to outline the pros and cons of such a venture, with the potential for third party independent review. Once more information is provided then Council would be able to consider the advantages of such a venture and determine a way ahead. Future discussions may take place in Camera until negotiations between the Fraser Valley Regional District and the District of Hope have been completed, at which time the information could then be declassified. 753 Waterworks Ltd. Council reviewed some documentation from some concerned residents pertaining to the 753 Waterworks system. One of the primary concerns is to ensure that the fire hydrants are in working order and that water resources will be available. It was noted that the company has not maintained the fire hydrants. It was noted the 753 Waterworks is a private water system that is provincially regulated; the District of Hope is not involved or connected with thiT system in any way. *t is understood that the system requires significant upgrades and the company has applied to the water commission for a rate increase to provide necessary funds to assist with these upgrades; the residential monthly fee has been the same for a number of years. The CAO noted that the Fire Chief and himself have been in discusions with 753 Waterworks to address the fire flow and hydrant issue. The CAO will investigate if there was information provided to the District in past years, and if there is any obligations on the part of the District to do anything.
