Mayoral candidates in the hot seat

Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Residents packed the recreation centre conference room on Tuesday night to hear Hope’s mayoral candidates weigh in on local issues. Lloyd Forman, Glen Ogren, Wilfried Vicktor and Cindy Young answered questions on a variety of topics, offering voters insight into their priorities and leadership style. “I would work very hard as part of the elected team to bring about a system of transparency and teamwork,” said Forman. “My goal is to harness the power of the taxpayer and elected people and staff by building respect, communication and trust. I will continue with a six-year tradition I’ve had of holding scheduled town hall meetings on a

regular basis every 60 days.” Forman, who is running for mayor of Hope as well as Fraser Valley Regional District electoral Area A director, feels he’ll have enough time to do both jobs adequately if elected and won’t have any problems dealing with potential conflicts of interest that may arise. He also apologized for a column he wrote in a Lytton newspaper that referred to voters collectively as a puppet master and elected people as the puppet. “It was a philosophical view of democracy,” he said. “It may have been put in a hillbillyish way but the reality is the shareholders here are the ones in control. I subsequently wrote an apology and said I shouldn’t have written it.” Vicktor, who previously served as

mayor for two terms in Hope, pointed out that he’s running on his record this election and has shown he’s “consistently respectful and honest with the public.” He hopes moving forward, council functions well as a team and generates a high level of “customer satisfaction.” “In four years, I would hope that the new council would have a track record of teamwork, respect, honest communication with the public, complete transparency and essentially satisfaction in the work they performed as a council,” he added. When questioned about unlicensed vehicles on his property, a concern raised by several residents in attendance, Vicktor invited people to drive by and check it out for themselves. “If it’s objectionable to you, I’d cer-

tainly suggest you do not vote for me if you feel that I’m not capable as mayor based on an extra couple vehicles,” he said. “My personal opinion is if anyone is caught in my backyard, particularly after hours, a bylaw violation is probably the last of their concerns. I’m going to be issuing a non-verbal conversation if they’re trespassing.” Vicktor was questioned about his opposition to a casino proposal on First Nations land several years ago when he was mayor. The council at the time supported the initiative but he felt the proposal needed further consideration because it was not a destination-style casino and would not have any direct taxation revenue.

Kinder Morgan helps fund new community recreation park The District of Hope and the Trans Mountain Expansion Project have entered into a memorandum of understanding for a community benefit agreement that will see a $500,000 contribution towards improvements to a community park in Hope. Trans Mountain has been pursuing community benefit agreements with those along the pipeline corridor to provide direct benefits to communities if the proposed expansion project is approved and constructed. This contribution by Trans Mountain will be used towards upgrades at the Hope Community Recreation Park and is the first community benefit agreement signed along the proposed pipeline corridor. The agreement was signed as part of an overall effort underway by Kinder Morgan Canada to work with pipeline-affected communities to identify local

Patrick Hanrahan, director of business development at Kinder Morgan Canada, recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Mayor Susan Johnston for a community benefit agreement that will see a $500,000 contribution towards improvements to the new community park in Hope.

opportunities to give something back in recognition of the public inconveniences and temporary disruption created by construc-

tion. Additional agreements with municipalities and communities along the pipeline corridor are expected over the coming

months as project planning continues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If the proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project is approved and constructed, it will have a direct impact upon our community,â&#x20AC;? said Mayor Susan Johnston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These impacts will include jobs and increased municipal taxes, but also increased activity within our community during construction and activation of the pipeline. This community benefits investment, which will be used towards upgrades at the Hope Community Recreation Park, is in recognition of those impacts and provides a meaningful contribution to our community.â&#x20AC;? Last year, Kinder Morgan paid $680,000 in municipal taxes to the District of Hope and, post construction, the annual tax payments will be over $1.2 million annually.

Job creation a priority for all contenders From 1

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t veto anything. The mayor has the ability and the duty to bring back issues that he or she feels have not been properly investigated,â&#x20AC;? said Vicktor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Council was given an opportunity to revisit it because I brought it back. I did not do that to disrespect council. I did that because we had dealt with a First Nations band who refused to deal with us for over a year-and-a-half on another issue. They show up, they give us some cute little paddles and say itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to develop relations. The reality was that a letter of support from a district has lots of things attached to it. So if the community backs something like that it should mean something.â&#x20AC;? As a relatively new resident,

Young spoke about her desire to facilitate change and help Hope move in a new direction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want everybody to work as one as a community because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be doing,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m honest, I have integrity and if you elect me Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll do the best job I can. It will be open to you to see what the books would look like and my office door would always be open to you. I want to hear from you because thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what makes a town work. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here for you guys.â&#x20AC;? Ogren, who is also a newcomer to the political scene, shared his passion for seeing Hope flourish. As a business owner raising a family in the community, he feels itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to bring in the amenities needed to see the town fully grow.

For the record

A story in the Oct. 23 print edition of The Hope Standard had an incorrect phone number for the new HopeWatchDog.com initiative. Anyone looking for more information can call 604-860-4672.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The end goal for me is to make Hope one of the most livable small cities in B.C.,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think transit opens us up to other communities and a bus to Chilliwack or Agassiz for singlecar households and seniors is a very needed thing in Hope, especially when you have Care Transit constantly looking for drivers and trying to keep up with the demand for driving into other communities.â&#x20AC;? The mayoral candidates agreed on several issues, including the need for further economic development, improved community infrastructure, and more good paying sustainable jobs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lost 3.5 per cent of our population over the last 10-15 years and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re paying more in taxes to keep the services that we

Hope Secondary School is once again hosting the annual Fall Health Fair this Saturday. This year’s theme is Growing Great Families and incorporates the Live 5-2-1-0 guidelines for raising healthy children. The numbers represent having five or more fruits and vegetables every day, keeping recreational screen time less than two hours a day, enjoying at least one hour or more of active play daily, and consuming zero sugarsweetened drinks. “The goal of this year’s health fair is to promote health at every age,” said coordinator Brenna Ayliffe, a community health specialist with Fraser Health Authority. “Live 5-2-1-0 encourages the whole family to embrace a healthy lifestyle by making 5-2-1-0 a goal

for better health everyday.” The Fall Health Fair will feature entertainment by Hope Community Choir, Hope Performing Arts Community Theatre, and the Senior Keep Fit exercise class. There will also be a concession, children’s games, activities, scavenger hunt, stories, free books and prizes, and Hope’s Volunteer Hero award presentation. In addition, Pharmasave is providing flu shots. Inspirational speaker Glenda Standeven returns as this year’s keynote speaker. She is co-author of Choosing to Smile, an autobiography written by three friends who all happened to have cancer. After being diagnosed with cancer in 1987, and losing her entire right leg to the disease in 1988, Standeven felt it important to give encouragement and hope to others facing adversity. In 1990, before the birth of their second son, she won

two silver medals in the BC Winter Games in the slalom and giant slalom events. Standeven was Chilliwack’s Woman of the Year in 2003, received the Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award in 2005, and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2013 for her “exemplary community volunteer efforts.” She has volunteered in many capacities for the Canadian Cancer Society over the past two decades and facilitated a Living With Cancer Support Group for 11 years. Standeven is also a member of The Rotary Club of Chilliwack, a lifetime member of the Optimist Club of Chilliwack, a Terry’s Team Member for the Terry Fox Foundation, and an active member of the Valley Women’s Network. The Fall Health Fair runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Nov. 1. Hope Secondary School is located at 444 Stuart St.

and it’s very successful there.” Tickets are $25, which includes the five martini tastings, or unlimited non-

Tickets are available at 293 Wallace Street Restaurant or through Stroyan at 604-316-7755. Partial proceeds benefit the Hope Rotary Club. “We’ve had great support from the Rotary Club ever since we first started the restaurant,” said Hiro Takeda, chef and owner of 293 Wallace Street Restaurant. “Providing an opportunity to come together to do something for this town was kind of the motive behind it.” Organizers are hoping to make Martini Mingle an annual event in Hope if there’s enough interest.

Monica is experienced, capable, talented and compassionate. Monica studied medicine and dentistry, and graduated with a degree in dentistry from the University of ClujNapocca, Romania. She has been in private practice in Vancouver since 1996. From 1997 on, Dr. Monty dedicated time to the UBC Faculty of Dentistry in a parttime teaching capacity. Dr. Monica Monty is a member in good standing of the Canadian Dental Association, BC Dental Association, College of Dental Surgeons of BC and The Academy of General Dentistry.

An attack last Wednesday morning on a Canadian Forces soldier at the National War Memorial, and the subsequent entry by the shooter into the nearby Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, is deeply troubling. One shooter has been shot dead by police and security forces inside the Parliament Buildings. There are many reports of multiple shots inside the buildings, and Parliament was shut down for the day. The shooting came as MPs were gathering for caucus meetings, and apparently took place very close to their caucus meeting rooms. There may have been more than one shooter. Police last Wednesday morning were busy securing the perimeter and determining if there were more people involved. This incident comes just two days after a young man named Martin Rouleau, whom the federal government and RCMP say was “radicalized,” lay in wait for military personnel at St. Jean-sur-Richelieu, outside Montreal, and deliberately ran one of them down. One soldier later died, and the shooter himself was shot dead, after leading police on a chase and then refusing to put down a knife, when he emerged from his car after it crashed. Both incidents may be related to the Canadian decision to send six warplanes against ISIS, the radical group which is holding a portion of Iraq and Syria and taunting western governments. The Canadian Forces decided to shut down a number of bases after the second incident and is warning military personnel to take extra precautions. While they are in uniform, they are an obvious target. The Quebec incident shows the danger which lurks within Canada, due to the recruiting of young and vulnerable people by ISIS and other like-minded groups. In the case of Rouleau, the RCMP had been in touch with him due to postings he had made on the internet. All of this is almost incomprehensible. In some ways, this resembles the terrorist-like actions of the Front de Liberation du Quebec in October, 1970, when it took two hostages and killed one of them, Quebec cabinet minister Pierre Laporte. That led to the “October Crisis” and imposition of the War Measures Act. Will this be a repeat of those crisis-filled days? - Black Press

Difficult birth of LNG cash cow

B.C. VIEWS

Tom Fletcher Debate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre. Most media reported that the government “slashed” its proposed seven-per-cent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia. The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production. All of this casts further doubt on

Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles. The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive. Finance Minister Mike de Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. Japan, one of the potential investors, is considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima earthquake. China’s manic growth is slowing, and it has signed a long-term deal

to import cheaper Russian pipeline gas. Oil prices have dropped. The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s only current export market. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” the speech observed. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.” So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding. You may recall it was a U.S. hurricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread an extra billion to calm its labour waters for the 2010 Olympics. The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export op-

eration would pay total taxes of around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant. There are 18 currently proposed. This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas. The biggest source of revenue from this hoped-for plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate. “If other provinces take the same

view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post. If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Letters A week like no other in Ottawa I started last week in Ottawa by joining His Excellency Governor General David Johnston at Rideau Hall as he honoured a number of Canadians, including Chilliwack resident Shawn Nagurny, for acts of bravery. It was a poignant ceremony, where the Governor General spoke of these “wrong way guys and wrong way gals” who had turned toward danger, rather than away from it and put themselves at risk to save their fellow Canadians. The very next day, Canadians witnessed the same sort of bravery in the face of a terrorist attack in Ottawa. I was in the Conservative national caucus room with my MP and Senate colleagues, as I am every week on Wednesday mornings, when the prime minister’s remarks were interrupted by loud noises – noises that we soon recognized to be gun fire. Single shots were quickly replaced by rapid bursts and the noise was getting louder and closer to our room. Everyone in caucus knew that there had recently been specific terrorist threats against Canada, made all-too-real days before

when two soldiers had been mowed down by a radicalized individual in Quebec. We all assumed that there were multiple terrorist gunmen outside the room with automatic weapons and that they would be inside in a matter of seconds. Since no one in the room was armed and there was really no way to defend ourselves, it was terrifying. People acted quickly to take cover where they could because we had no idea what was happening outside of our windowless caucus room. It wasn’t until much later that we learned that in fact, most of the gun shots that we heard were from our security forces responding to the security threat. Meanwhile, (unknown to those of us locked down throughout the centre block of the House of Commons) heroism was on full display in the appropriately named Hall of Honour. The House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms, Kevin Vickers, heard the initial gun shots, grabbed his service pistol and headed toward the danger. He was the one who killed the gunman. Mr. Vickers was not wearing a bullet proof vest. He was wearing his ceremonial robes,

complete with his distinctive white neckwear. He didn’t think twice about putting himself in harms’ way to end the threat. He is a true Canadian hero – a man who takes his job to keep parliament and parliamentarians safe with deadly seriousness. As the day and the lockdown continued, we learned about the tragic, senseless and cowardly attack on an unarmed soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier – one of Canada’s most sacred sites. Corporal Nathan Cirillo joined Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, killed two days earlier, as someone who was murdered simply for wearing the Canadian Forces uniform – uniforms that they had proudly earned the right to wear. Uniforms that represent our most honoured values. We will always remember their service and sacrifice. When the lockdown ended and the prime minister addressed the nation later that night, he made it very clear that Canada will not be intimidated – we will never be intimidated – by acts of terror and brutality such as we saw last week. Indeed, MPs were all back in our seats at 10

Help of passerbys appreciated Last Thursday afternoon, I was driving down 6th Avenue in Hope and came to see a young girl laying in the gutter with several of her friends standing around her, she was not moving. I stopped and asked

her friends if anybody had called 911. She was injured when she slipped off the curb and fell down. Within minutes, there were several people there trying to keep her dry as it was pouring rain, the heaviest seen in a long time,

For the record

A letter in the Oct. 16 print edition of The Hope Standard was incorrectly attributed to Lisa Clement, Trans Mountain Expansion media relations. The letter was actually written by senior project director Greg Toth,

and the gutter was running wide. Several people came running with umbrellas, first aid blankets, coats and other stuff to comfort her and keep her as dry as possible until the ambulance arrived. I would like to thank

most significantly, we continued on with “routine proceedings” and orders of the day. There will be much written and said about this terrorist attack in the days and weeks ahead. There will be debates about Canada’s response to domestic, home-grown terrorist threats and the need to strike the right balance between providing our security forces the tools they need to keep Canadians safe and protecting our rights and freedoms. There will be security reviews to determine what went right and what should be improved in our nation’s capital. But on this let there be no debate – the take away from Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2014 is not about a cowardly terrorist attack. It is about the duty, ideals, service and sacrifice of our Canadian Forces, personified in Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. And it is about the

Energy Minister Bill Bennett caused a stir at a conference on the Columbia River treaty with a speech calling for the U.S. government to pay more for the power and flood protection they receive. Bennett was in Spokane last week to address the Columbia River Basin Transboundary Conference. In an interview after his speech, he said it was the first time B.C. has laid out its expectations for the 50-yearold treaty. “I didn’t get any discourteous responses from the audience, but I think there were definitely a few people who were a bit shocked,” Bennett said. “I think there are a lot of folks here in the U.S. who think that the $150 million we get is more than what we should get each year, and I said I don’t think it’s nearly enough.” The annual payment represents half the value of electricity generated downstream of dams on the Columbia River. After the treaty took effect in 1964, BC Hydro constructed the Mica, Duncan and Hugh Keenleyside dams on the Columbia system, with the help of a $275 million payment from the U.S. government.

Revelstoke Dam on the Columbia River system. The Columbia River treaty led to construction of three more dams in the Kootenay Region.

The treaty was reached by Prime Minister John Diefenbaker and U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower after devastating floods in 1948 that destroyed the community of Vanport, Ore. On the B.C. side, the flood left most of the lower part of Trail B.C. underwater and destroyed crops at Creston. Bennett said both the cost of the dams to B.C. farmland and wetlands, and the value of flood control to the U.S., are not well

So the people on our side of the border really want us to get some more resources to enhance fish and wildlife and agriculture in Canada.” The treaty has no expiry date, but con-

tains a provision that either side can give 10 years’ notice to cancel it. B.C. announced last March that it wants to continue the treaty and discuss the terms.

B.C. legislature to declare Terry Fox Day Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is preparing to declare the second Sunday of September Terry Fox Day, recognizing the annual Marathon of Hope events around the world that raise money for cancer research. Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer presented a private member’s bill last Thursday

to recognize the day the annual runs have been held since 1980, when Fox embarked on a crosscountry run that was cut short by a relapse of cancer. As a student at Simon Fraser University, Reimer recalled seeing Fox run around the campus quadrangle and wondering what he was training for. “It honours a great man whose combination of strength, passion, idealism and sheer guts led to the

impossible notion that he would run across Canada on one good leg and a prosthesis, the equivalent of a marathon a day,” Reimer told the legislature. Premier Christy Clark said Reimer’s bill is expected to pass with unanimous support. She met with Terry’s father Rolly, sister Judith and brothers Darrell and Fred in her office last Thursday to speak to reporters. Darrell Fox

said the declaration will encourage volunteers who organize Terry Fox runs, who have raised $650 million in the past 34 years. “That’s why we’re so excited, because it gives them something to look forward to, to promote next year, and the fact that it has happened here in B.C. Terry Fox is everywhere, across this country and around the world, but he was from Port Coquitlam.”

“We’ve been loading tankers safely here for sixty years.” - Bikram Kanjilal, Master Mariner, Consultant Marine Development

Trans Mountain has been operating at Westridge Terminal for six decades without a single spill from tanker operations, due in part to the stringent precautions we put in place. Close collaboration between Pilotage Authorities, Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard and Port Metro Vancouver ensures vessels navigate our waters safely, guided by highly qualiﬁed local pilots.

U U U U U U U U U

Tankers are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards. Any vessel proposing to visit Westridge must go through pre-screening and physical inspection. Only double hulled tankers of modern design are accepted. The Canadian Coast Guard monitors every vessel’s passage. All employees are trained in operations, safety and emergency response procedures. All vessels have a boom enclosure throughout loading operations. Two local pilots are on board loaded tankers during every movement. Tug escorts are required to accompany all laden tankers. Dedicated local marine-based spill response organization, WCMRC, ensures quick action in the event of a spill. U Marine spill response will be enhanced.

MARV COPE

FRASER-CASCADE

What is your background or political experience?

What are the most pressing issues facing the school district?

If elected, what would be your main priority as trustee?

Why should people vote for you?

Professional life - 35 years as a teacher and administrator in this district. Political experience - five terms as a school board trustee and three terms as a board member at Fraser Canyon Hospital.

From my point of view, declining enrolment is the main issue for this district. As pupil count diminishes, district funding recedes. This causes many difficult decisions to be made with regard to staffing, special programs and a multitude of services. Large districts can weather fluctuations in numbers but small districts can only compress their services. Such compressions lead to the many financial cutbacks.

To be an interested board member and to use common sense when a decision has to be made. An individual trustee has no special power; the voice of the entire board speaks for the district. Think of the district as a train: the board lays the tracks, the staff operates the machine and the students are recipients of a wonderful educational ride.

I think that my background in this district whether, as a staff member or as a sitting trustee, will be evidence of one truly interested in the welfare of the students in his care. Please get out and vote as your children on counting on you.

I grew up in Hope and graduated from Hope Senior Secondary. My husband and I returned to live in Hope five years ago, and have deep roots in Hope. I have served one term as a school trustee in SD78. I previously sat on the FVRD in Mission and was president of our local community association for several terms.

Lack of technology/ funding in the classrooms. According to BC’s education plan, at least 85 per cent of British Columbians use the internet on a daily basis. We need to ensure that students are prepared to succeed in our technological world. Educators should be given the supports needed for technology to empower the learning process. Class size and composition remains a problem.

My main priority is always to act in the best interest of the students. Parents, teachers, support staff, administration, and community members are all participants in learning. I believe we need to restore public confidence in the board, which we can do by focusing on improving the transparency and accountability of the board through communication with the community and staff.

I have spent the last three years learning what it means to be a trustee. The first two years were about listening and learning; the third year I finally found my voice. I know the issues that our district faces and I would like the opportunity to make a difference and affect change. Experience does matter.

I am a teacher, small business owner and member of the Peters First Nation. My experience in our current educational system includes the role of teacher, First Nations support worker and member of the Aboriginal Education Council. I have also undertaken varied roles within the BC Teachers’ Federation, including local bargaining committee member and chair of the Aboriginal Education Advisory Committee.

Today’s most pressing issue is the lack of support local districts are receiving from the provincial government. That is creating an underfunded system that cheats our children and puts undue stress on all partners in the education system: students, parents, staff, administration and teachers. Our students deserve a fully funded system that both challenges and encourages them to achieve their best.

My main priority as trustee will be to advocate for our students and educational staff. I will stay in close contact with the day-to-day operation of our schools with personal visits and through social media. The information gained through hands on experiences, and conversations in schools will make my voice at the school district table both grounded and valuable.

I bring a unique and valuable skill set to this position. I have been a student, support worker and teacher. These experiences, positive and negative, have only strengthened my belief in the importance of education. To me, a good education is the key to a successful future and I believe we can do better for our students.

What is your background or political experience?

What are the most pressing issues facing the school district?

If elected, what would be your main priority as trustee?

Why should people vote for you?

My teaching background provides me valuable insight to the difficulties our school board is facing using their budget in a fiscally prudent manner, while at the same time providing programs to adequately meet our students’ broad-based needs. A diversified teaching experience will allow me as a trustee to bring that kind of practical perspective to every decision we make.

School boards are under budget constraints. It is therefore important for trustees to be advocates and work with parents, teachers, students and community groups to find viable solutions that build on our schools’ strengths. Students and classrooms are the top priority. If anything good has come from the recent teachers’ strike, it’s an increased interest and concern for strong public education.

Given the high demand for qualified trades people, my main priority will be to ensure the programs at Hope Secondary are preparing our students for success in the job market. A vibrant secondary school apprenticeship program will provide students the opportunity to stay actively engaged in their learning thus enhancing their chances to succeed in the workforce once they graduate.

I have a strong “Can Do” attitude that is based on enthusiasm, a sense of purpose, drive, a keen willingness to learn, perseverance and enjoying what I do. I believe people who feel valued will always do more than what is expected of them. This is the underlying premise for building effective relationships among trustees and the stakeholders they represent.

I have been in schools – as a student, as a teacher and as an administrator – for 60 years. Six years ago, when I retired, I was persuaded that I had enough experience in public schools to run as a trustee. I ran in 2008 and in 2011, and have held the position of board chair for part of both terms.

We’re a small school district. Somehow, we have to manage to innovate, and create classes of interest to all of our students. We have to hire qualified and competent teachers to provide those classes, and run them on a schedule that satisfies graduation requirements and the students’ personal interests. Not easy. But when everyone works together for the common good, it can happen.

We have talked a lot about personalized learning, having forums around the district on the topic. Because of the nature of the students and staff in our two alternate schools, personalized learning already exists. To a large extent, it also happens in our elementary schools. We just have to figure out how it can look in our secondary schools.

I respond to concerns people have on a wide area of topics. Some have to be solved around the board table; some require the intervention of a counsellor or administrator. But I ignore nothing that is brought to me. I try to conserve money, as every penny used towards trustee expenses is one taken away from students.

I have lived in Hope since 1974 and graduated from Hope Senior Secondary in 1989. Owned and operated our business from 1994 to 2011. Dedicated to supporting education. I created Story Time in the Park in 2004, worked with the schools to provide a sustainable hot lunch program, volunteered on the SPC, and raised three children who graduated from Hope Senior Secondary.

The most pressing issues in this district are enrolment, retention of students through to graduation and ensuring that students have appropriate placement in our district.

If elected as a trustee my main priority would be to be involved in all aspects of education in this district. I’m a hands-on person who focuses my efforts to build on what is working rather than complain about what is not.

A vote for me on Nov. 15, 2014 gets you a dedicated, proactive trustee that is passionate about education from all perspectives. I am an all-inclusive person who believes in our district, in our community and in working together for the greater good of all concerned.

Safety a priority for Halloween With Halloween fast approaching, Hope and Boston Bar RCMP and Victim Services have been out in schools sharing tips on how to stay safe and providing “BE SEEN BE SAFE” stickers to every child in attendance. Many people enjoy transforming their homes into eerie scenes. However, residents are reminded to keep the path leading up to their door free of obstacles for trick or treaters, especially those with masks and limited vision. Safety should also be top of mind picking out a costume. Here are some tips: T Wear a light-coloured or bright costume, reflective tape or arm bands to heighten visibility T Wear a costume that is properly fitted to reduce the chance of tripping on it T Select a costume that is constructed from flame-retardant materials T Shoes should fit properly even if they do not go well with a costume T If a child’s costume requires the use of props, such as a flexible-plastic sword, make sure the

Masks may require that the eye-holes be cut larger for the sake of good peripheral vision. Before kids hit the streets, parents should be aware of the route their children plan to follow.

do the honours for you. Ensuring your child is wearing a watch also allows you to establish an agreed upon curfew. Children should also be able to recognize the places along his/her route where they can obtain help, for example the police station, fire station or any other well indicated public place. Tick or treaters should stay on the sidewalks, and if there is no sidewalk, walk on the lefthand side of the street facing traffic. Although tampering of loot is rare, children should be reminded that they must have their candy in-

between man and the outdoors.” Many campers leave garbage behind, which is a health risk to the wildlife that inhabit this area. “We aim to take a proactive approach to promote a cleaner more respectful interaction with the great outdoors,” said Brandon Smith, CEO of Sick Nation Productions Inc. “Sick Nation, with its facilitating partners, aims to raise social

awareness about the environment, and through acts of service to our ecosystem, we maintain long term sustainability, to ensure that our children and our children’s children will have a campground to enjoy as much as all of us have.” For more information about this initiative, or to sign up, contact Smith at 778-628-1922 or cytizencain@gmail.com

Sports Bike skills park designer seeks youth input

Barry Stewart Hope Standard

“I think it’s going to be one of the best in B.C. It’s huge!” said 13-year-old BMX biker, Wilson Rousseau, of the new bike skills park currently under development at Sixth Avenue Park. Rousseau speaks from experience, having checked out five other bike parks in the province, many of them designed by Jay Hoots, who is in Hope with his Hoots Inc. crew to build the park. “Jay was at the skate park on Saturday and I was riding with him,” added Rousseau, who said he has been checking out the new park’s progress almost daily. He said he plans to help the crew with building the tracks and jumps, when they are ready for volunteers. (For those under age 18, a parental consent form must be signed.) Rousseau was at the bike park open house at the rec centre on Friday, where over 30 students and at least 10 adults came out to meet Hoots and hear about the plans for the park. Following the indoor session, Hoots took the group on a walking tour of the park, to speak about the roughed-out features and gather input from riders. Hoots said he got into bike park building through his passion for bike riding. He still takes part in events and is a sponsored rider for Norco. “All five crew members are also riders,” he told the crowd. “We brought the A-team to build in your back yard.” Friday’s teacher professional development day meant students were free to attend the open house. “It’s been hard to get everyone together to get your feedback,” said Hoots, a North Vancouver resident. “I visited here a bunch, to see what a really cool design would be. I took another look today — and I think we should change it to something even cooler.” Hoots asked for a show of hands on preferences for jumps or berms (banked turns). Roughly 75 per cent were in favour of more jumps. “I’ll learn to do jumps… but you guys will have to take me to the hospital!” joked Stephanie Hooker, of AdvantageHOPE.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Bike park designer Jay Hoots shows his plans to interested bikers during a special information meeting at the rec centre on Friday afternoon. Over 30 youths and about 10 adults attended the indoor session, with many going out to walk around the roughed-out bike skills area, to learn more about the plans and give feedback to Hoots.

Hooker is a key planner and promoter of the Sixth Avenue Park improvements. Once finished, the skills park will include features for all levels of riders, from beginner to advanced. The generous size of the space has even allowed for a “grom” pump track, a circuit with a series of small hills and bermed turns for the youngest of riders. This is the third such track Hoots’ team has built. The other two were in Toronto, Ont. and Hinton, Alta. The bike skills park is set in the forest between the Coquihalla Campground and River Parade, with many of the trees be-

ing left in place. The wood from danger trees and others that had to be taken out will be used in the build. A portable mill was brought in to cut the timber into dimensional lumber, which has been stockpiled for later use. Hoots was especially proud of the elevated log ride that has been named “Logzilla,” made from an 80-foot (24-metre) log that was split down the middle and will be placed end-to-end. It’s sure to be a right of passage for bikers. “It took me a 12-hour day to rip Logzilla and a curved cedar log,” said crew member Ben McInnes, of Camrose, Alta. “It took

On Nov. 4 at 7 p.m. at the rec centre’s conference room, AdvantageHOPE will be hosting a presentation on mountain biking, geared for adults. “Two speakers from the Western Canada Mountain Bike Tourism Association will attend,” said Hooker. “There will be a presentation on the social and economic benefits of developing mountain bike infrastructure in our community. This will be followed by a brief description of the opportunities that AdvantagHOPE sees in the Hope area, as well as an overview of the mountain bike skills park that is currently under construction.”

out an older chain saw, too.” There is much work still to be done but Hoots is hoping to be ready by the end of November. “There’s only so much you can do when it’s raining,” he added. “We may have to wait and be patient. If we have to stop until the spring, we’d figure out what is usable and leave it like that.” In the next few weeks, volunteers will be needed for shoveling, wheelbarrowing and jump building. “Once you see that we’ve got dirt, that’s when we need you. We will teach you how to make jumps as well as we do,” said Hoots.

OBITUARIES

FESER, Lorraine We are very saddened by the passing of Lorraine (Lanie) Feser on October 24th, 2014. Lanie was born June 20, 1940 in Enderby BC to Jim and Georgie McAmmond. She married Will Feser in 1962; they moved to Spokane Washington while Will attended Gonzaga University. They lived in Hope BC for 35 years, where Will was Chief Engineer for Emil Anderson Construction. In 2000, they retired to Victoria. Lanie was predeceased by her parents, sister Shirley and two dear nephews Don and Dean. She is survived by her loving husband Will, Terry (her son Ben, and his dad Tom), David and his wife Shannon (children Jessica, Ryan, Danielle, Elizabeth and Steven), and Todd and his wife Na’ama (children Ethan and Aviv). She is also survived by her brother Jimmy, sister Debbie and their families, as well as Shirley’s children and families. The happiness and well-being of her family was always Lanie’s prime focus. She will be sorely missed. Many thanks to Dr. Antonsen and all the doctors on the RJH Renal, as well as the Renal Nurses and Techs, the home nursing team and the Renal Unit Housekeeping staff who were all so kind. A special mention to Joey, who was mom’s lifelong friend. Mass of the Resurrection was celebrated on Thursday, October 30, 2014 1:00PM at Holy Cross Catholic Church, 4049 Gordon Head Road. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Kidney Foundation.
