Station House future in limbo
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
13 NEW YOUTH
THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, 2015
Contractors may soon have an opportunity to bid on the repair work needed at the Hope Station House. Council will be voting on Jan. 26 whether to approve a contract for AdvantageHOPE to manage the project and initiate a RFP (request for proposals) process. However, the issue is already gaining mixed reactions at the council table. “I’d love to see it fixed but I don’t think the District of Hope can finance it,” said Coun. Bob Erickson during a discussion on the topic at Monday’s council meeting. “It’s a major overall.” Both Erickson and Coun. Heather Stewin are concerned about cost estimates multiplying and making a decision on the building’s future without getting more information. “The district is taking on a huge liability,” Erickson added. Councillors Donna Kropp and Dusty Smith support the RFP process in order to get more information on the cost of repairs. They would like to see the Station House’s heritage preserved and used in a capacity that benefits the community. Kropp pointed out that over the last several years, residents have expressed a desire to have a tourist information centre at the Station House. In order to do so, a building retrofit is needed. Coun. Gerry Dyble
also supports the RFP process in order to make an informed decision on the future use of the Station House. “The building is ours so no matter where we stand at this point in time,” she said. “We now must decide what we’re going to do with this piece of property, whether we tear it down or put money into it.” Mayor Wilfried Vicktor pointed out that there will have to be significant realignment of the entrance/exit of the site to accommodate trailers and RV’s. He suggested that aspect of the project be included in the RFP so that it doesn’t “dwarf costs.” Last November, the Station House Society officially turned over control and operation of the building to the District of Hope. The municipality signed a new lease with the provincial Transportation Finance Authority (TFA) and has since transferred utilities, undertaken emergency repairs to the heating system, and had the building insured and included in a routine maintenance schedule. The previous council has already decided to include $114,000 in the 2015 budget in order to undertake the estimated repairs/modifications required to use the building as a tourism centre and museum. However, chief administrative officer John Fortoloczky said that money won’t be spent without the current council’s approval. Continued on 2

RV fire on Highway 1 Highway 1 was shut down in both directions at Emory Creek Bridge on Friday afternoon for 3.5 hours as fire crews battled a vehicle fire. An RV was pulled into the guard rail after catching some built up snow on the shoulder. As a result of the collision, the RV erupted in flames. The driver and her dog were able to exit the vehicle without injury. There was also no damage to the bridge.

The community is rallying together to help a local family who lost all their belongings in a house fire last Friday. Donations of clothes, bedding, furniture and toys are currently being collected by Crystal Ann Sedore and Julia Smith for Niki Smith and her two young children, who luckily were’t home at the time. Dropoff locations are at 439 3rd Avenue in Hope and 63797 Beech Road in Silver Creek. An online fundraiser has also been launched at www.gofundme.com/jyqp0s When firefighters arrived at the home in the 19500 block of Silverhope Road last Friday at about 1:50 p.m., smoke was billowing from the roof and the electrical wires to the house were making noises, arching and sparking. “We made our attempts to ensure no one was in the house as best we could by knocking on doors and hollering,” said fire chief Tom DeSorcy, adding that two deceased cats were found. “The area of origin where we believe the fire began was in a back room in the basement. There was smoke and
Two studies have been conducted as to the level and cost of repairs that are likely required to ensure safe occupation and use of the Station House. The first is a report produced for the TFA which indicated up to $91,482 worth of repair costs with no change to the operational use of the Station House from the Society. The second report, which council directed staff to obtain, was from a structural engineer and identified certain structural, code, building envelope, and maintenance concerns. However, they were unable to estimate a cost to repair any deficiencies without a much more detailed (and costly) study involving the removal of siding. Fortoloczky said an RFP process avoids the district spending more funds on detailed engineer-
ing reports as proponents would conduct their own research and provide their own proposed engineering solutions with defined cost estimates. Tammy Shields, executive director of AdvantageHOPE, pointed out that the urgency to move forward quickly with this project is mainly to prevent duplication of spending. “We don’t want to see repairs go into the current location, only to move out in a short time,” she said after the meeting. “Operating costs are being incurred by the district while the building sits idle and without addressing the deficiencies, the condition will only continue to further deteriorate, increasing project expenses overall. Not to mention, the longer it sits there like that, the more people are greeted by the property in its current state.”
Shields believes the Station House project is important because the community only has one opportunity to make a first impression with visitors. A better first impression will have a positive impact on their behaviour here, she said, which leads to more economic benefit to the town. “The new, higher visibility location will mean that we can influence even more visitors to our community than at the present location, again very important to our town’s economy,” she added. “Without a viable plan for a community use in the building, we are at risk of losing a landmark building with historical importance to the community. The larger floor area allows for expanded scope of services available, more broadly serving the community and not just visitors.”

Wetlands still closed to tree damage Black Press
Cheam Lake Wetlands Regional Park is still closed following the massive damage caused by last week’s snow and wind. The park was assaulted by the same storm that caused damage to power lines, roads, marinas and more throughout the Fraser Valley. The Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD), which operates Cheam Lake Wetlands Park, closed it down Monday, Jan. 5 due to the safety concerns. “All our parks east of Chilliwack suffered some kind of damage,” explains FVRD communications manager Jennifer Kinneman. It took crews time to investigate the park, which, along with most others, needs cleanup of fallen branches, broken limbs and tree tops precariously perched above broken trunks. Within Cheam wetlands park, there was damage to approximately 30 per cent of the trees. Cleanup began on Tuesday, Jan. 6 and continues as of press time. Crews were on-site Friday, January 9 to show the damage and explain the process of cleanup. “We’ve never had, after one event, this much of a mess,” relates Gord Gadsen, FVRD

parks resource technician. He says all the branches need to be removed from the paths. Many of them will be run through the FVRD’s wood chipper and the chippings will be spread throughout the park. There are many trees that either need to be trimmed at the point of breaking or cut right down.
The small staff at FVRD have contracted some of the tree clean-up to contractors such as Nigel Casson from Top That Tree Services, based in Chilliwack. On-site Friday, Casson was observed putting on his climbing gear and essentially walking up the side of a giant birch tree beside the wetlands viewing platform. With
grips on his shoes and a cable around the tree, he clambered up roughly 30 to 40 feet, his chainsaw swinging at his side. Carefully assessing the broken tree first, Casson deftly used his chainsaw to bring down the top of the tree where the damage was severe. Gadsen explains that the felled tree top will be good for the beavers, who particularly enjoy birch trees. He then skillfully swung across to another tree where a smaller branch needed to come down. This process is continuing throughout the week. Kinneman urges locals to not go into the park until it is reopened. “The signs are there for a reason and the parks are closed for a reason,” says Kinneman. For information on when the Cheam Lake Wetlands Regional Park and other FVRD parks will be reopened, check out the FVRD website at www. fvrd.bc.ca Debris cleanup is also in effect along Highway 1, where crews have brought in a wood chipper to remove downed branches along the roadway. In Hope, district crews are still cleaning up the debris in Memorial Park and around the community. A cost estimate of the damage caused by the ice storm will take a couple weeks.

YOUR VACCINATION CENTRE Nitroglycerin is a potent dilator of blood vessels and is used medically to quickly open up blood vessels to the heart in patients with angina. The drug can be administered via a spray for quick relief when angina symptoms begin. It’s important to have a backup canister of the drug handy in case your current one malfunctions or is empty. Should you continue your exercise program when you have a cold? Generally, if your symptoms are mostly above the neck, it’s probably OK to do
moderate exercise. If it’s below the neck, and the lungs are involved, it’s best to stop your exercise program until you feel well enough to continue. The brain reaches full maturity when people reach their early to mid-twenties. The part of the brain used for thinking is the last part to mature. This is why there is much concern about teens’ use of recreational drugs which may affect brain development. It could affect the ability to make good decisions and doing well in school.

ly 2,500 inmates in the B.C. system on an average day are awaiting trial or sentencing. Safety and security incident reports have been on the rise in most facilities in recent years, with the highest rate of nearly 1,200 a year at Fraser Regional Correctional Centre in Maple Ridge. Nanaimo and Prince George both recorded nearly 800 incidents a year by 2012, with lower rates at Vancouver Island, Surrey Pretrial, North Fraser Pretrial and Kamloops. The auditor’s report says one reason for the increase is that incidents are being reported and tracked on a more systematic basis. Bellringer also notes that there isn’t a clear definition of what constitutes a safety and security incident, and B.C. Corrections doesn’t have a target of what constitutes an acceptable level. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said conditions in B.C. prisons are improving thanks to a $185 million construction program, including an addition to Surrey Pretrial, a new women’s wing at Prince George and expansion of Alouette Correctional Centre for Women. A new 300-cell Okanagan adult custody facility at Oliver is under construction, and expected to open in 2016. Anton said
that extra space will alleviate the space shortage at other facilities, but it remains to be seen if the new prison will allow the removal of tent-like temporary structures that have housed low-risk inmates at Kamloops and Fraser in recent years. The audit also questioned the availability and effectiveness of rehabilitation programs offered in B.C. prisons. The audit found that only one program, violence prevention, was evaluated and shown to reduce the likelihood of reoffending. The five core programs operated in B.C. provincial prisons are: • Respectful relationships, to help inmates understand and eliminate abusive behaviours • Substance abuse management, to reduce relapse and develop healthier lifestyles • Violence prevention, designed to reduce aggressive behaviour • Emotional management for women • Relationship skills for women Correctional centres also offer life skills, vocational, literacy and school extension programs. All programs are voluntary, and with an average sentenced stay of 71 days, some inmates aren’t in custody long enough to complete studies even if they want to.

cold sweats and anger. Even a car backfiring in a peaceful suburban neighbourhood can trigger flashbacks. And enough of these triggers can force the country’s strongest and bravest people to barricade themselves off from the world, their friends, and even their own spouses and children. But the tide may be turning, as post traumatic stress, depression and suicide are becoming better studied and less stigmatized. Talking about it really can help. And that’s really what the Wounded Warriors Weekend is all about. The organizing team is looking for partners to help make the weekend a success. The average cost to cater to each participant (including travel) is $2,500. Covering the costs for the partici-
pants eliminates any financial barriers, as many of the Wounded Warriors are no longer employed. “We strive to bring more awareness to the Wounded Warriors Weekend that works to promote the healing of damaged souls with the combination of nature, music, compassion and renewed support,” the organizers said. Between now and the August long weekend, they will be hosting numerous fundraising events and accepting donations. Any money in excess of what is needed for the weekend will be forwarded to next year’s committee. HOW TO HELP There are a few ways to help the organizing committee fundraise for the Wounded War-
riors Weekend. On Jan. 24, the Vedder Legion is holding a dinner by donation featuring pulled pork sandwiches. Dinner is served from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Tickets are also on sale for their Valentine’s Day dinner event, to be held on Feb. 14 at the Best Western. The dinner will feature comedian Bobby Henline and Elvis tribute artist Jeff Bodner, along with a silent and live auction. Tickets are $50 and can purchased from the Vedder Legion. To donate to the Wounded Warriors Weekend, purchase tickets, sponsor a participant, or nominate a ‘wounded warrior’ contact Jeff Bodner at 604316-7882 or visit www. woundedwarriorsweekend.org

A massive event that has brought together veterans each summer for the past three years is coming to Chilliwack. The Wounded Warriors Weekend, taking place July 31 to Aug. 3, is expected to draw in 250 participants to share in some muchneeded relaxation, recreation and camaraderie. But more than anything, the weekend offers a chance for healing, and feeling a little less alone in the world. The focus in on those ‘wounded warriors’ who are dealing with the effects of post traumatic stress disorder. While the weekend first was started with war vets in mind, it now has grown to include a wide range of participants. RCMP members, members of the military, fire fighters, first responders and Corrections Canada employees are all welcome to take part in the activities of the weekend. “It’s a self healing weekend,” said organizer Bill Higdon. There are no counsellors at the ready, no overly structured plans to follow. But there will be plenty to do for those who come. Last year the event was held in Slave Lake, AB and the activities offered included golfing, fishing, a motorcycle rodeo, a large gala event, a dance and a wind up party. And none of it costs a dime to those participating. Everything from air travel from anywhere in country, to accommodations (at the Pacific Regional Training Centre’s Executive Hotel), to the recreation portion, meals and entertainment, are all offered free to those who attend. Post traumatic stress can be debilitating, and can lead to depression and suicide. There were a reported 178 Canadian soldier suicides between 2002 and 2014 — 20 more than the number of armed forces members killed in action. While the rate is in line with the general population, it’s believed the common link in many of those deaths is post traumatic stress disorder. Common complaints included excessive fears and anxiety, memories that won’t go away,

Stand up to intolerance The execution of 10 journalists and two police officers by Islamist extremists in Paris last week has justifiably drawn international condemnation. It’s seen as not only an attack against a single news outlet, but an affront to a fundamental tenet of our democratic values: Freedom of expression. That the newspaper Charlie Hebdo can spark outrage is nothing new. It’s satirical attack on institutions on all sides of the political and religious spectrum has spared few. But anger is one thing. Murder is something else. According to media reports the journalists were singled out, identified by name and systematically shot. They are not the first journalists to die, of course. Last year 61 journalists were killed doing their job. In 2013 the number was 70. True, reporting from locations like a war zone can be a dangerous business. But of those killed last year, 27 were deliberately murdered. The motives vary. However, the underlying theme is the suppression of information and a desire to control the message. We can’t let that happen. We can’t let any individual or organization dictate through force the information we receive, whether it’s an in depth investigation, or a satirical cartoon. To be clear, freedom of expression is not absolute. There are limitations, (like the promotion of violence and the dissemination of hate). But that still leaves a lot of latitude. We live in a time when access to information has never been easier. We can find it online, have it delivered to our doorstep, or channeled to our living room. But behind that information are thousands of women and men striving to provide the details you need to form your own judgements about a complicated world. We can’t let the ignorance and intolerance of armed thugs – and those who support them – stand in our way. - Black Press
The battle for Kennewick Man
B.C. VIEWS
Tom Fletcher My Christmas reading included a fascinating new book called Kennewick Man, a study of skeletal remains discovered in 1996 on the bank of the Columbia River in eastern Washington. He was an ancient hunter buried just south of B.C. almost 9,000 years ago, in the Early Holocene period following the last Ice Age. Among the oldest humans found along the West Coast of North America, he sparked an unprecedented battle by the Smithsonian Institution to examine the skeleton and publish the book late last year. The most controversial evidence came from the skull. It doesn’t match the classic Mongoloid pro-
file of modern aboriginal people, key to the theory that the earliest humans reached North America by land bridge from Siberia to Alaska as glaciers receded. Smithsonian scientists confirmed initial reports that Kennewick Man is a closer match with early Polynesians, and the Ainu people who remain in Japan today. He lived until about age 40, surviving for years with a stone spear point stuck in his hip. The authors conclude from chemical analysis that “Kennewick Man could not have been a long-time resident of the area where he was found, but instead lived most of his adult life somewhere along the Northwest and North Pacific coast where marine mammals were readily available.” This suggests migration by sea, perhaps from a great distance. The U.S. Army seized the skeleton. The scientists sued and even-

tually won the right to a brief examination. The court case exposed brutal and illegal actions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and federal departments to destroy the site and intimidate the scientists. U.S. law demanded all remains from before European settlement be repatriated for burial by local tribes, without examination. Umatilla tribe spokesman Armand Minthorn wrote in 1996: “We view this practice as desecration of the body and a violation of our most deeply-held religious beliefs. “From our oral histories, we know that our people have been part of this land since the beginning of time. We do not believe that our people migrated here from another continent, as the scientists do.” The head of the Society for American Archaeology tried to get the researchers to drop their

The U.S. Justice Department warned the Smithsonian that lead scientist Douglas Owsley and others might be in criminal conflict of interest as federal employees suing the government. Even the White House weighed in against them. Meanwhile the skeleton was mishandled and later stored in substandard conditions at a Seattle museum, where it remains today. Parts of both femurs were lost, and scientists were falsely accused of taking them. They had been removed by tribal representatives and secretly buried. Kennewick Man was found as the army was in tense negotiations with tribes on salmon fishing rights on the Columbia, their demand for removal of dams, and the $100 billion cleanup of the Hanford nuclear site.

The scientists finally won their case in 2004, with a ruling that the skeleton is so old there isn’t enough evidence to show it is related to the current tribes. The judge found the army repeatedly misled the court, and assessed the government $2.4 million in costs. The U.S. Army still controls the skeleton and denies requests for further study. The spear point, for example, could show the location where he was injured. One final irony. Analysis shows Kennewick Man ate mostly salmon in his later years, around 6300 BCE. These are the salmon runs wiped out by dams built by U.S. Army engineers before the signing of the Columbia River Treaty with B.C. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

National strategy needed for homelessness After attending Hope’s Monday night council meeting, I now understand why I may become the towns next homeless victim. It has also become clear why the town of Hope has already scheduled four consecutive budget increases for the next four years ahead. It is clear that homelessness/poverty has become a national emergency, brought on by mental illness, including trauma induced PTSD, and substance addiction. Since the federal governments of past and present refuse to deal with this countrywide dilemma, provincial and municipal governments, as well as do gooder charities, have decided to jump on the band wagon, and
make a meal out of it. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against the homeless or the mentally ill. In fact, I’ve been homeless myself, as well as suffering a lifetime from PTSD (no fault of mine). But for municipal governments to deal with homelessness and mental illness is beyond ridiculous. Not only do they not have the expertise, there is no possible way that we as a community can afford to annually increment our budgets, or do we have the resources to do so, for something that is totally outside our jurisdiction. It was obvious and laughable to watch the various proponents to scurry in and out of the room to avoid possible conflict of interest,
to maintain their glutinous greed on the pretext of helping out those who need our compassion and professional help, when the help they are providing only maintains the status quo, and keeps the proponents gainfully employed. From personal experience, I can assuredly attest that type of help would only keep me dependent on the system, and the proponents employed. It’s a never-ending expensive cycle with few real beneficiaries, other than the administrators. What took me away from homelessness, was somebody was kind enough to offer me a job. Homelessness is, or at least, should be a federal responsibility. What we need to
end homelessness in Canada, is a national strategy. It’s time we all put pressure on our federal government to pony up and do the right thing. If they can afford to subsidize the Alberta Tar Sands and major corporations, then they can afford to look after those in society who need the help most. A solution formula for homelessness would be education, a federal increment to corporate taxation, which is ridiculously low, a basic income plan, and a mental health strategy. To continue on the path we’re on of increasing municipal taxes will eventually drive us all there! Art Green
Our MP not comfortable answering questions I had a little chat with the MP for our area. Yes folks, I was allowed a whole half hour from his very, very busy schedule. I was told that’s the only time he can allow for me. I had four questions for him. Question No. 1: What is the expected timeline for government services? Our MP was stumped. He said it depends on the situation. Question No. 2: How come
$200 million over 50 years? Well he started to explain that it was a mistake and went on to explain that was supposed to be a hell of lot over a six year period. Question No. 3: I asked if I should believe the news media. He explained that his prime minister had corrected the $200 million over 50 years. I asked how I had not heard anything about it in the
news media. To that, I did not get any answer. Question No. 4: I asked him how come we don’t see him unless there is a photoop involved. He went on to explain how Mr. Atamanenko, an MP for B.C. Southern Interior, is having town meetings about three or four times a year in most of the towns in his riding. His answer was that his method gave him a
face-to-face meeting with his constituents. All through, he was going through my photo album where I keep my letters to the editor that I’ve got published over the years. While Mr. Strahl and I were talking, the fellow he introduced as his assistant was writing notes until the half hour was over and the assistant said the time was up.
In my opinion, I felt that Mr. Strahl did not feel comfortable answering any of my questions. As we were leaving his office, I asked him who pays his wages. He answered without batting an eye, the Canadian government. I said asked him if he was sure and he corrected himself and said, the taxpayers. Yukon Eric Holopainen

MSP an unfair tax that hits poorest the hardest A special Happy New Year to all who are personally subjected to the perpetual MSP premium increases. As the provincial Liberal government imposes another annual increase to Medical Service Plan (MSP) premiums, it is
again time to remind British Columbia residents that this is probably the most regressive tax in Canada. A family of two with a “MSP adjusted net income” of $31,000 will pay $1,560 annually, or about five per cent of their income for MSP premiums. With
a net income of $50,000, these premiums will be approximately three per cent, and at $80,000 they will be somewhere around two per cent. This tax destined for general revenue belies the government’s statement that “British Columbia has
the lowest provincial income tax rate.” B.C. residents most affected by this regressive taxation, through provincial and other levels of taxation and fees, also contribute to the MSP premiums of approximately 400,000 public sector employees
from all levels of government, institutions and agencies, including MLAs, ministers and the premier. MSP premiums are an unfair tax, inefficiently collected for general revenue by a managing bureaucracy. Considering all the public sector employees
and union members who benefit from this process, don’t expect any change, as no politician of any stripe will address this issue. The most one can hope for is the annual increases and rhetoric about the lowest income tax rate will cease. Bob Robinson
Poll results over support for terrorism a concern Twenty-three make apostasy a crime, mainly with a death penalty. Most of the other 34 don’t tolerate religious freedom. Also, recent European data is startling: “35 per cent of all Muslims in France believe suicide bombings are justified.”
“38.6 per cent of Muslims believe 9/11 attacks were justified.” “One-third of British Muslims support killing for Islam.” “78 per cent of British Muslims support punishing the publishers of Muhammad cartoons.” “68 per cent of British Muslims
support the arrest and prosecution of anyone who insults Islam.” All of these poll results can be found at www. thereligionofpeace.com/ pages/opinion-polls.htm. Are we dealing with a tiny, deviant minority? John H. Redekop

We must not only condemn the Paris murderers, but also consider the context. Given that the assassins shouted “Allah” and proclaimed that “The prophet is now avenged,” it is clear that while terrorism was the method, extremist Islam was the motivation. Democratic peoples now need to ask this question: “How widespread is Muslim support for such extremist action?” Let’s hope it’s limited, and that there’s widespread denunciation by leaders of the 57 countries in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and strong denunciation by Muslim leaders in democracies. Unfortunately, I’m not very optimistic. In almost all of the 57 OIC countries, freedom of religion and the press are severely curtailed or non-existent.

Christmas party was ‘magical’ On Dec. 18, Fraser Hope Lodge had a Christmas party for the residents, family and friends. Santa Claus was well received. Don Appel was Santa Claus in his red suit and white beard and his beaming smile. Every resident received a beautiful gift with lots of hugs and kisses. There was entertainment and homemade goodies and cider which was enjoyed by everyone. Marja Losier, the activity coordinator, and staff prepared a wonderful and magical afternoon. The Auxiliary to Fraser Canyon Hospital and Fraser Hope Lodge donated $1,000 so each resident would receive a Christmas gift. Wishing everyone Happy New Year, peace and harmony.

Hope needs its own radio station
This month’s ice storm in Hope brought out the best in the people of our community. Unfortunately it also brought to the forefront the fact that we are living in an information black hole. As far as the media is concerned, Hope barely exists. For the better part of three days many of us had only spotty Hydro service and no Internet connectivity at all. The only thing we could rely on for information was a broadcast outlet 50 km away more focused on providing us with the latest tune from the talent du jour than any substantial information on what
our community needed to carry on. As far as the ‘news’ organizations in Vancouver go, we are simply not even on the map. It is also disappointing that once we were ‘back on the grid,’ even this esteemed publication placed any story about the ice storm behind a pay-wall, giving full access to subscribers only. Many people relied on Facebook via their smart phones to exchange updates, but this is hardly a reasonable substitute for those who choose not to use Facebook or for people who are not online. What Hope needs is a community radio station.
Hard work of Hydro appreciated On behalf of all the residents of Hope and area, we would like to express our great appreciation to all the people who worked long, cold and hazardous hours, restoring heat and light to our homes, after last week’s ice storm. A simple thank you doesn’t seem enough, so we will say that these folks are our heroes! Thanks so very much. Ray & Judy Green

Such an outlet, harkening back to the days of the 1240 khz AM version of CKGO, staffed by volunteers, would be dedicated to the community at large. It should provide local news and promote our area of the Fraser Valley and its services. When disaster strikes, such as the ice storm, the people will have a voice to turn to with not only eyewitness reports, but also a targeted source of up to the minute news and information. At other times, visitors to our town could find out about local events. The benefits there are incredible in that it can lead to increased revenue for our
local businesses. Community radio in Hope can reflect and promote our cultural diversity and enrich said culture by broadcasting local content related to social, economic and community issues. This is more important than playing the latest from Nicki Minaj or Demi Lovato. The benefits are tangible. I urge the district to explore this and then present a proposal to the CRTC to get us on the air as in the days when we had our own local radio station, beholden to the people and not some faceless corporation where the only goal is profit.

LNG plans continue despite oil slump Tom Fletcher Black Press
The shakeout of liquefied natural gas proposals for B.C. continues, with ExxonMobil’s large-scale project for Prince Rupert moving ahead and smaller projects changing or withdrawing plans. ExxonMobil and its Canadian subsidiary Imperial Oil have filed a detailed description with B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Office, planning for a city-owned site on Tuck Inlet north of
Prince Rupert Harbour. One of the larger of 18 B.C. proposals, West Coast Canada LNG (WCC LNG) proposes up to five floating barges for LNG loading with onshore support facilities, and an estimated capital cost of $15-25 billion. WCC LNG plans to start construction by 2017 and be in service by 2024. WCC LNG sorted through a half dozen sites in the Kitimat and Prince Rupert area, where the larger
of B.C.’s 18 current LNG export proposals are also claiming sites. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman says 2015 is when the LNG industry begins to take shape, despite a slump in oil prices and rising competition from U.S. and other gas producers. “New drilling activity in our upstream sector demonstrates investors remain confident in B.C.’s long-term natural gas potential,” Coleman said in a New Year commentary re-
leased last week. “One of our province’s largest Crown land sales in history occurred near the end of 2014, with industry contributing more than $209 million for exploration right alone.” Proponents of Aurora LNG Grassy Point near Prince Rupert withdrew that application to start the year, focusing on another site at Digby Island. Also withdrawn is the Farrell Creek raw gas processing plant north of Hudson’s Hope, a project tak-
en over by Chineseowned Progress Energy. Progress is a partner with PETRONAS in Pacific Northwest LNG at Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, with its investment decision
postponed indefinitely late last year amid changing global energy supply and demand. Woodfibre LNG near Squamish is another small-scale project moving ahead, with its application for B.C.
environmental assessment accepted at the end of 2014. The public comment period closed for another large-scale proposal, the Shell-led LNG Canada proposal for Kitimat.

Two large salmon carvings that were stolen from the Ruby Creek Art Gallery gazebo just after 2:30 a.m. on Jan. 5 have now been returned undamaged. The gallery, which is owned and operated by the Skawahlook First Nation, launched a social media campaign after the theft and released raw surveillance footage on their Facebook page. The video showed two people pull up in a white pickup and disappear with the carvings less than two minutes later. The gallery had offered a reward for information leading to their return. They were dropped off at the gallery sometime overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday in a TV box with a note.

Baseball is back in Agassiz League is looking for players aged five to 15 Lorene Keitch Black Press
The baseball diamonds sit empty and Chris McCurdy wonders why. He wants to renew the once-popular local pastime with the start of a new youth baseball league. McCurdy, president of the newly-formed Agassiz Baseball Association, hopes to start up this year with a program for kids from five to 15 years old. “It’s ambitious,” he admits. McCurdy has lived here since 2002. With no kid’s baseball league locally, he started driving his son to Chilliwack three years ago for competitive baseball. Sam, now 12, took to the sport quickly and currently plays on an all-star team in the city. When asked what Sam likes about the sport, he re-

This league will bring the game to the kids instead of the other way around. The baseball association is in place. The logo has been designed and McCurdy even sports a new jacket designed for the local league. All they need now are players and several more coaches. Registration opens tomorrow, January 16. Registration forms are available at the rec centre, the Seabird Island band office or on the association’s website at www.agassizll.com For more information about the program, check out the website or call Chris McCurdy at 604-300-0320.
Comic Strippers return to Chilliwack Some seriously funny fellas are set to return to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre stage this month, complete with bowties and male stripper alter egos. The Comic Strippers, led by Vancouver-based comedian Roman Danylo, are back in town on Jan. 31. The show combines improv theatre with some truly terrible dance moves and a bunch of shirtless guys. And while audiences can rest assured that there will be no full nudity, they’ll find themselves face-toface with full hilarity instead. “We still keep ourselves giggling – thank goodness!” said Danylo. “I think when we stop giggling at the ridiculousness, we’ll have to stop. But so far it’s still in the realm of giggles.” These gyrating gents performed in Chilliwack last January, and have been on the road honing their craft ever since, selling out shows all across the country. The result? A bigger, better, and funnier show than ever before. “At first the idea of choreographed movements made our brains explode,” said Danylo. “We said, ‘Nah – that’s never going to happen.’ But we’re choreographing stuff as we go, almost by accident, because we’re doing it more frequently. We have muscle memory. These moves are in my body, and they want out!” The show follows the lives of fictitious male strippers – all named Chip – who attempt to gain respect by putting on an improv comedy show. With decades of comedy experience, matching bowties, and a healthy dose of shirtless dancing, the show is a hilarious concoction where saucy meets awkward. “It’s kind of a weird cross between Thunder From Down Un-

der, Blue Man Group, and Whose Line Is It Anyway – we’re really just clowns,” Danylo said. “And we learned pretty quickly that we can actually keep the show pretty clean for the most part. There’s almost no swearing, and compared to other comedy shows I’ve been a part of, this is one of the cleanest in terms of content. “And it’s always good to remember that it’s definitely a parody of a male stripper show – a comedy,” he added with a grin. “No one’s going to see anything horrible and scarring.” For the first time ever, the show introduces a brand-new twist with Denise Jones joining the Comic Strippers onstage as Chip Etté, the first-ever female member of the
comic strippers. “It’s a really tough thing to explain,” Roman said with a laugh. “Basically, Chip Etté is dressed like a man for the entire show, and the Chips don’t realize this Chip is any different. It’s clearly obvious to the audience, but we have no idea that she might not be like us. And there are all sorts of opportunity for hilarity there.” The Comic Strippers: Introducing Chip Etté takes over the stage at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Jan. 31 at 7:30 p.m. Call the Centre Box Office at 604-391SHOW(7469) or visit chilliwackculturalcentre.ca to get advance tickets. Tickets are $32 for adults, $29 for seniors, and $27 for students.

injuries and when you’ve already got a short bench, that doesn’t help. “Our goalie, Alex Schwichtenberg, just came back from a broken collar bone. Chase Bestwick stepped in as his replacement and did a good job.” Hope readers may have noted a number of unfamiliar names in this story. That’s because most of
the team lives out of town. “I’d say we’re probably twothirds Agassiz-Harrison and one third Hope,” figured Simon, a Harrison Hot Springs resident who works as unit chief of the BC Ambulance station in Hope. This is the third year of no body-checking in all levels of house or “C” hockey, said Simon. Leaning on a player or angling
them against the boards in a lowimpact way is still allowed. “I think it’s a more coachable game now,” he contended. “It keeps them out of the penalty box and focuses more on speed and skill. It’s a game for all sizes and abilities. I know kids who have carried on into midget hockey who probably wouldn’t have if there was body-checking.”

Well, at least their guests went home happy… with all of the hardware. Hope’s midget C1 Wildcats hockey club started off with a 4-4 tie in the opening game of their home tournament last weekend but they ran up against some tough clubs — and a hot goalie — in their following three games. Head coach, Rick Simon, said his team was up 2-0 after the first period against New Westminster on Friday night and they led 4-2 after two. “Then the other team came back to tie us at 4-4 and we couldn’t break it,” said Simon. His son Hayden was chosen as the Wildcats’ player-of-the-game and Jacob Lucki (pronounced “Loose-key”) was the mostsportsmanlike. “In our second game, against Langley, we came up against a really hot goalie,” said the coach. We out-played them and outshot them but couldn’t score.” Hope’s player-of-the-game honours in the 3-0 loss went to Seth Point and most-sportsmanlike, to Brandon Baboth. Lucki was player-of-the-game for the Wildcats in a 6-3 loss to Kamloops in the third game and coach Simon was particularly impressed with Myron Peters, who was named as the most-sportsmanlike player. “Myron was getting some extra attention from some of their players and he composed himself and did not retaliate.” Peters continued on his roll in the final match, being named player-of-the-game in the Wildcats’ 8-2 loss to Surrey on Sunday morning. Chase Bestwick was the most-sporting of the Wildcats’ line-up. Bestwick led the Wildcats with three goals on the weekend, while Simon and Peters each had two goals and two assists. Marshall Pennier contributed a goal and two helpers. Delta took first place with a 7-1 win over Langley in Sunday’s championship match. “We’re probably about a 500 team in league play,” said coach Simon. “We started the season pretty well but it’s gone down since then. We had two or three

Irene Isabelle Jean
SOLTIS, Andrew May 31, 1927 December 27, 2014 On December 27, 2014, our beloved Andy passed away at the age of 87. He is sadly missed by Theresa, his wife of 62 years; children Allen (Kathleen), Robert (Carla), and grandchildren Katherine (Adam), Andrew, and Marie. Andy is survived by sisters Ann and Mary and brother-inlaw Des (Irene) and numerous nieces and nephews. Andy was predeceased by his father Andy and mother Annie. Andy was born in Czechoslovakia and moved to Canada in 1933 with his mother and sister Ann to join his father in Princeton, BC. From Princeton, the family moved to Hope where Andy graduated from Hope Secondary School in 1945. Although Andy had qualified to attend university, he began work right after high school as a shovel and drag line operator. Andy met and married the love of his life, Theresa, in 1952. Shortly afterward, he bought his first CATERPILLAR D4 from Earl B. Finning and began Soltis Logging. In 1949, Andy bought a farm at Flood, BC, and in 1956, he bought property at Lytton, BC, and began to raise beef cattle. Andy and his logging company worked in the Lytton, Lillooet, and Boston Bar area and, before he sold out, the company employed 125 people. While semi-retired, Andy set up Soltis Holdings in 1975, and began to build houses. In 1983, he applied for and was awarded Woodlot 360 and, in 1993, Soltis Holdings was awarded the Woodlot Association’s Stewardship Award. Andy loved Lytton and the woodlot and continued to manage and log it until his passing. When not working, Andy and Theresa had many happy travel adventures throughout Canada and the world. Andy taught his family how to work hard, how to treat people with compassion through actions as well as words, how to be humble, and how to love life. Andy’s tremendous love of Theresa, his children and grandchildren, will always be remembered and treasured. Andy’s life will be celebrated at a memorial which will be held at 2:00 pm on January 24, 2015 at Christ Church, 618 Fraser Ave. Hope, BC.
