B.C. cities rank low on Stats Canada list of happy places B.C. may be a balmy lotus land where you can theoretically ski, golf and swim in the same day, but that doesn't seem to make us any happier than the rest of the country. A national survey of life happiness across Canada, found B.C.’s regions scored an average happiness level of 8.1 in the Lower Mainland. Statistics Canada's How's Life in the City report paints a bleak picture of residents in several B.C. cities. Kelowna ranked highest at #12, Abbotsford was 24th (behind Win-

nipeg and Regina), while Victoria, which taunts the rest of the country with its January flower count, was 27th. Respondents were asked to rate how they feel about their life as a whole right now on a satisfaction scale from 0 to 10. The question was asked of 340,000 Canadians between 2009 and 2013 as part of broad social and health surveys, and the results were averaged by census metropolitan area and economic region. Topping the list of happy places were Saguenay and Trois-Rivieres in Quebec, followed by St. John's, New-

foundland, and Sudbury, Ontario. The gap between the cities ranked is not large. Vancouverites rated their life satisfaction on average at 7.8 out of 10, while Victoria and Abbotsford averaged 7.9, Kelowna was 8.0 and charttopping Saguenay is just over 8.2. The findings also show 40 to 45 per cent of residents in Sudbury, Thunder Bay and St. John's rated their life happiness a 9 or 10 compared to less than 35 per cent in Vancouver, the lowest in the country. It also measured the other end of the scale – the people who were least

happy. The cities with the largest numbers of residents rating their life a 6 or lower were Windsor, Toronto, Abbotsford, Peterborough, St. Catherines and Vancouver, while Quebec cities had the fewest number of low scores. Life satisfaction appears to be higher in smaller communities, the report says, noting the top ranked cities have fewer than 250,000 residents, — places like Chilliwack and Hope. It cited a 2014 study that found "life satisfaction and happiness are lower in denser, more urbanized settings."

Garbage toxins suspected of contaminating hawks Jeff Nagel Black Press

Researchers have found high levels of toxic flame retardants in Lower Mainland raptors, including one Cooper's hawk in Langley with the highest levels of the contaminant ever recorded in a wild bird. The average concentration of PBDEs, a flame retardant used on furniture, electronics and carpets, averaged 1,873 parts per billion in the livers of 15 raptors tested in the Lower Mainland, and that reading hit 197,000 in the case of the Langley hawk. The birds tested between 2000 and 2009

had all died from being hit by cars or similar trauma. Lead researcher Kyle Elliott, from McGill University, says more species are adapting to urban areas, where they encounter higher levels of chemical pollutants, which can then bioaccumulate in top predators. Hawks, for example, eat starlings that often feed on garbage. Elliott said it's impossible to say the ultra-toxic hawk was contaminated by the waste transfer station in Langley – a scenario Metro Vancouver officials doubt because garbage there is swiftly compacted, giving

study elsewhere. The Langley hawk, found dead in 2002, showed no signs of emaciation or sickness but had PBDE levels 100 times higher than levels known to decrease thyroid levels in eagles and suppress the immune system in kestrels, Elliott said. The findings were presented in a research paper in the journal Science of the Total Environment. More research is underway to gauge the sources and effects of chemicals like PBDEs on a breeding group of Cooper's hawks in the Metro Vancouver area. Continued on 3

"There were very high levels across the entire Lower Mainland," he told Black Press. "We do know these brominated flame retardants are often associated with human refuse. And starlings have 15 times higher levels near the Burns Bog landfill as compared to other sites in the Lower Mainland."

Hazardous waste recycling proposed near Fraser River

A facility located next to the Fraser River in Chilliwack looks suspicious for climate concerns Black Press

A hazardous waste processing facility proposed to be built next to the Fraser River in Chilliwack should be subjected to a provincial environmental assessment, Metro Vancouver regional district directors say. The regional board is expected to pass that recommendation from its climate action committee after concerns were raised about the potential risk to downstream communities in the event of a spill.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the Chilliwack location of the proposed Aevitas recycling plant within 200 metres of the Fraser presents serious risks that require a detailed environmental review. "My initial reaction was this is something people would have done in the 1950’s," Corrigan said. "Why would you do this there given all the other potential locations?" The plant would recycle metal, glass and mercury from light bulbs and remove PCBs from transformer oil for re-use

but the prospect has stirred up fierce opposition in the Fraser Valley. The province is considering an environmental assessment but it has first directed Aevitas to engage in a more public consultation. Corrigan said he's concerned more consultation will take the place of a full review. Chilliwack city council has agreed to the project in principle and rezoned the land. The final approval decision rests in the hands of the environment ministry.

The number-crunchers who keep track of worldwide life expectancy have reported the average life expectancy of the people of the world in 1990 was 65.3 years. In 2013 it had risen to 71.5 years and if we continue in this manner, by 2030, it will be 85.3 years. So healthcare is getting better around the world and we are gaining on

many of the causes of early death like measles, malaria and diarrhea. We all are aware of the dangers of smoking. One danger often overlooked is that it’s a signi¿cant risk for gum disease. Smoking reduces blood Àow to the gums which deprives them of oxygen and nutrients that keep them healthy. Smokers are four times as likely to suffer from gum disease than those who have never smoked. If you are going to have surgery soon and are taking herbal products routinely, it might be

advisable to discontinue them a week or so before surgery. Some herbals like garlic, ginseng, feverfew, ginkgo and Devil’s claw have varied effects on blood clotting that might result in excessive blood loss during surgery.

The Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL) in Delta often takes in injured raptors found near the Vancouver landfill in Delta with injuries or infections that defy explanation and make treatment challenging, according to bird care supervisor Martina Versteeg. "We definitely think it has something to do with human waste," she said. "We see birds come in with infections, inflammation, pus – all these things – and the test results often come back sterile. So what is it? Is it the chemicals or flame retardants doing it?"Versteeg says OWL urges supporters to recycle as much as possible to limit bird and wildlife access to garbage.

EB map tracks pipeline trouble An online interactive map demonstrates locations of detailed pipeline incidents Jeff Nagel Black Press

The National Energy Board has launched an online interactive map that shows the locations and details of pipeline incidents such as oil spills and gas releases. The map shows 65 incidents in B.C. since 2008, which is as far back as the data goes, and offers almost no specific details. Most of the B.C. incidents involve gas pipeline releases or fires, mainly in northeastern B.C. It shows four pipeline spills of oil in B.C. over the last seven years from Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline – a 305-cubic-metre spill in Burnaby after a malfunction at the tank farm in 2009, a 90-cubic-metre spill of crude oil at the Sumas tank farm near

But only one of those spills is classified as a "significant incident" – the smaller one at Hope in 2013. Trans Mountain is also listed for operating the pipeline beyond design limits in 2012 and for a 2010 incident in Burnaby categorized as a serious injury. Not included on the map are significant pre-2008 spills, particularly the 2007 Burnaby spill of 224 cubic metres of heavy crude that partly reached Burrard Inlet after the pipeline was ruptured by a backhoe, and the 2005 Ward Road spill of 246 cubic metres at the Sumas tank farm.

It doesn't take very much oil to cause quite a bit of damage, especially to inhabiting fish and some of the endangered aquatic species." The NEB's review of Kinder Morgan's proposal to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline remains under steady fire from critics who consider it unfair.

The map can be zoomed and filtered to display incidents by specific years or incident types. It can be found at http://www.neb-one. gc.ca/sftnvrnmnt/sft/ dshbrd/mp/index-eng. html.

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

Election propaganda interfering with reality? Premier Christy Clark and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson were quick to summon TV cameras as oil-sheen angst spread through condo towers. They declared the Coast Guard response a failure before they had any real understanding of it. Unifor, the union representing Coast Guard employees, has vowed a full-scale election advertising attack on the Conservatives this year. On federal budget day, Unifor protested the closure of the Ucluelet Coast Guard ship monitoring station. Similar stations in Vancouver and Comox are also closing this year, replaced by a new monitoring system run from Prince Rupert and Victoria. I asked Industry Minister James Moore, the federal minister responsible for B.C., if this is a reduction in service. He said 1970s-era ship tracking equipment is being replaced with a new system that has already been deployed on the East Coast, to improve safety. “These fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed,” Moore said. “I remember people saying, oh my God, this is going to be the end. And it turned out to be complete nonsense.” Unifor operatives rushed to the media again last week with dire news of a half-hour outage of this new system, portraying this as evidence of a high-tech disaster waiting to happen (Ships were told to monitor an oldschool emergency radio channel for that uneventful half hour.) What the union is really doing is ramping up its election propaganda, and intensifying efforts to protect redundant positions that are being replaced by new technology. There was a similar media campaign last year targeting the consolidation of Veterans’ Affairs into Service Canada offices. There are serious problems with services to veterans, but union featherbedding would not help them. The B.C. government is also introducing digital technology, eliminating hundreds of paper-pushing jobs in the process, with a mostly realistic response from unions. But in this federal election year, realism will be in short supply Black Press

B.C. endorses Ottawa’s balanced budget B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The federal government has joined B.C. in the balanced budget club, but it comes at a cost to provincial revenues. Federal Finance Minister Joe Oliver delivered his first budget Tuesday, featuring increased defence spending and a new public transit fund that wouldn't take effect until after the federal election scheduled for this fall. B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said changes in the federal budget such as reducing small business tax and allowing personal income splitting for couples have a flow-through effect on provincial revenues. That could be between $18 million and $30 million to B.C., he said. De Jong said the B.C. government sup-

ports the reduction in federal small business tax rate, which is to decline from 11 to nine per cent by 2019. A new federal fund to help pay for transit doesn't take effect until 2017, but de Jong said he expects current federal infrastructure programs to continue until then. Federal Industry Minister James Moore said the Conservative government is still distributing funds from the $70 billion infrastructure fund that was included in last year's budget, and the new fund is in response to cities' demands. The mayors of Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and the national and provincial municipal associations have all endorsed the budget, Moore said. B.C. NDP finance critic Carole James said the federal budget seems to have missed B.C. priorities, and it was frustrating to see Ottawa balance its books on the same day as the Canadian Coast Guard closed another West Coast facility.

The Coast Guard's marine communications and traffic centre at Ucluelet is closed, with the function transferred to Prince Rupert. A similar station in Vancouver is to close May 6, with traffic monitored from Victoria, and another monitoring station at Comox is set to close this year, according to Unifor, the union representing Coast Guard employees. Moore said the rationalization and modernization of ship tracking systems on the West Coast will improve safety, and has already been done on the East Coast.

Letters Dismay over recent boundary suggestion munity and is at a crossroads, both economically and geographically. We in Hope are at the intersection of three major highways, enjoying a brisk trade of visitors and commuters who stop in Hope on their way to and from the interior. But while Hope is joined by highway with Merritt and Princeton, our orientation has always been to the west not the east. The mayor of Hope serves as a director on the Fraser Valley Regional District, and Hope works closely with the FVRD to develop recreational/ cultural programs, along with fire dispatch and search and rescue. Hope residents drive

to Chilliwack, Abbotsford or Langley for their major shopping, or even Vancouver if it warrants the trip. In terms of representation, Hope is right now well-served by Laurie Throness who has a constituency office in both Hope and Chilliwack. If the riding boundary changes, 6,000 people will be pulled out of Chilliwack-Hope and land in Fraser-Nicola. This is a riding that we share little in common with, other than a major highway that some have described as "The Highway to Hell" especially in winter. If the nearest MLA is in Merritt, how likely are Hope residents to get their con-

cerns heard? As Chamber President, frankly I believe that severing Hope from the Fraser Valley will cause us even greater economic harm. If you think Hope is struggling economically now, just imagine what could happen if our sitting MLA is an hour and a half away in Merritt. We currently have the ear of Laurie Throness and who knows what will happen if we throw our lot in with FraserNicola. I attended the meeting on April 14th at the golf course about the proposed changes to the boundaries and I was encouraged to hear Mayor Vicktor speak on behalf of all of Council against

Senseless spraying detrimental to health Each year at this time, I am reeling with excitement for spring: chirping birds, fresh air, warm sunshine, bees, beautiful blossoms and the anticipation of all the Earth provides for us, including dandelions. Dandelions are the first sign of spring, in my mind. They are the first flower that most of us proudly picked and brought to our mothers, grandmothers, and teachers. What is it, then, that we are so fearful of? What is it that makes the general population spray senselessly each year and combat with poisons? The dandelion means no harm, nor do other common lawn weeds. I recall many years ago when we visited a veterinarian with our first pup, we were asked us if we sprayed for weeds and he told us that weed killers possessed poisons that would affect the health of our pet. Likewise, they affect the health of people, small people, big peo-

ple, all people. We made a conscious choice from then on to never use poisons on our yard. Others in our midst continue to needlessly spray for weeds and even ignore the warnings to stay off the sprayed lawns, despite the signs they must now post on their yards, warning to keep children, pets and family members from treading on these areas. There is a reason that they spray companies are now forced to post these signs. Quite simply: the sprays are NOT safe. You may think I am needlessly worrying, but I wrote the Canadian Cancer Society asking why they don’t better educate the public of these dangers. The Society replied, acknowledging that the sprays are dangerous: the Canadian Cancer Society, B.C. and Yukon believes that lawn and garden pesticides are unnecessary and that their use should be prohibited. We also believe that provincial legislation

Harper the Tyrannical one The dictionary defines a tyrant as either: a) a cruel and oppressive ruler b) a ruler who seized power without legal right such as election fraud Harper fits both. He is the very definition of a tyrant. In my opinion, Harper displays both qualities in an obvious and excessive amount. Where has democracy gone, it seems to me that a ruling monarchy, or in this case, a ruling tyrant has taken control. Leo Young

should prohibit the use and sale of lawn and garden pesticides, rather than permit them to be applied by licensed applicators.” This is what the Cancer Society states! Far too many family, friends, and neighbors are succumbing to cancers. Why? Why? —we continue to ask each other. While we may not know specifically why, we do know that lawn sprays contribute to the situation. Often, when confronted with the diagnosis, or worse yet the death of a friend or family member due to cancer, we wish that there was just one small thing we could have done that might have made a difference. Look yourself squarely in the mirror and ask, “Is it worth it to have the perfect lawn?” Vanity comes with a price. Noreen Martin Pankewich

PRIZES FOR TOP FUNDRAISING INDIVIDUAL AND TOP TEAM

The Fibromyalgia Well Spring Foundation is planning to embark on a walking tour from Langley B.C. to Banff, AB to raise awareness for the debilitating disease and other invisible illnesses of its kind on May 24th, 2016. “Our biggest hope is to be able to get the financing to build housing for a community of people who are disabled with fibromyalgia — people who have no other reinforcements and are in desperate need of housing and moral support,” said founder Cheryl Young. The cheerful and determined group met at Memorial Park in Hope on Friday, April 24th, during the kick off of their campaign to raise awareness, funding and support. They hope to reach their collective dream of completing the 2016 national awareness tour and one thing was made clear — they are all fighters, good-humored, gracious and well adjusted individuals, despite struggling

with a very difficult condition, or multiple conditions simultaneously over the years. The foundation’s ‘Just one more step campaign’ has started to raise money for the upcoming forty day, 1050 kilometre journey that will take the group through Aldergrove, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Agassiz, Hope, Princeton and all the way to Banff. Young started the foundation eight years ago as a nod to the illness that left her unable to work and feeling very much alone in the world. “It’s been eight years since the inception of it and I wanted to start a program that would address this complex and chronic disease,” said Young. “People’s biggest hope for combatting and caring for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue — is research.” The disease can often appear after a traumatic incident according to Young. “Once triggered, the pain receptors, won’t shut off in the body,” she said. Tylenol, opiates and natural sup-

plements can be used to combat the pain, but still leave the patient in a difficult state.” Most sufferers are women at 85 per cent in comparison to their male counterparts at 15 per cent. “Many feel that they will never find a spouse, or partner because of it, but that’s just noy true,” said Nigel Thorn, business manager with the foundation and Young’s husband. “A support group helps people realize that they are lovable and can be loved despite their painful condition.” Often people don’t understand the illness, or they think it’s not real,” Dawn Thomas, a member of the foundation and sufferer of chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia told the Hope Standard. The group has been instrumental for Thomas in finding support as well as having a system integral to moral outreach, encouragement, education on pain management, and people who understand. “Every step is important. Just one small step taken is another gained

step towards awareness — it is the combination of everyone’s steps together that will help support the upcoming tour and help create awareness in our community, our region, our province, the country and the world beyond,” according to the foundation’s motto statement. The purpose of the walk is to help people who are affected by this illness to stand up and take charge of the situation in their lives and to provide numbers in the fight to secure help. “Because of the invisibility of the illness, people are not aware, but that is good logic to use when looking at people — we never know what they are going through,” said an anonymous member. Donations are being accepted at their office in Langley at #10920631 Fraser Hwy. Langley Mail: P.O. Box 1600, Aldergrove, B.C., V4W 2V1.

Funding Received for HBC Trail Completion Submitted

Hope Mountain Centre received some good news recently, that federal funding has been awarded for completion of the “Hudson’s Bay Company (1849) Heritage Trail” from Hope to Tulameen. The Government of Canada announced $10 million in Budget 2014 for the expansion and improvement of snowmobile and recreation trails across the country, administered under the National Recreational Trails Program (NRTP). Hope

Mountain Centre is one of several B.C. non-profits that has received trail funding after applying to the NRTP. “We’re very excited to see this project completed in summer, 2015”, said Kelly Pearce, Program Director with the Hope Mountain Centre. “Our contractors and volunteers have already restored 55 kilometres of this historic trail, and the new federal funding will enable us to complete the remaining 20 kilometres needed to connect the towns of Hope and Tulameen.”

The 166-year-old trail is presently used for multi-day hiking, horseback riding, and mountain biking. After its completion, the HBC Trail will offer travelers a continuous 75-kilometre wilderness route across the Cascades, uninterrupted by highways and towns. “It’s a beautiful mountain landscape to pass through”, said Pearce. “The trail’s human history really adds to the experience”. Historic interpretive signs along the route help to bring the trail’s history back to life.

“Men and horses died on the trail” and their stories are part of the trail’s character,” said Pearce. The HBC Trail played a key role in the early development of British Columbia and Canada. Also called the “Brigade Trail,” it was used by the Hudson’s Bay Company from 1849 to 1860 to transport valuable furs and equipment using large brigades of horses and men. Fort Hope was built in 1848 to serve the HBC Trail.

This working group will act as a sounding board for the community.

Significant donation for Keystone of Life Representatives of the Keystone of Life Foundation (KLF) traveled to Fraser Canyon Hospital to present a cheque for $8,905 on Friday 27th March 2015. The Hospital purchased a Stryker bariatic stretcher for its emergency department with the funds. For the Hospital, this device significantly increases patient comfort and well-being, allowing a patient's weight to be assessed in-situ, which means that medications can be better calculated,” stated Dr. Joshua Greggan of the device. The device also allows patients to adjust the profile of the stretcher themselves to maximise their own comfort,

and for X-Rays to be taken without the need for patients to be removed from the stretcher. KLF Director emphasized that the Keystone of Life Foundation relies on donations and other forms of giving from all sources to enable it to continue making these kind of grants. The grants are necessary for hospitals to keep up with increasing demands. KLF is closely associated with Royal Arch Freemasonry throughout the Province and relies on the generosity and cooperation of many of these

Masons to carry out its mandate of supporting hospitals in the region. The support is essential for the optimal functioning and success of these facilities.

INTERIOR TO LOWER MAINLAND TRANSMISSION PROJECT HELICOPTER WORK Construction work for the new transmission line between Merritt and Coquitlam continues.

Hope Curling Club

As part of this work, helicopters are required and currently in service in some areas along the right-of-way. Over the next few weeks, weather dependent, a helicopter will be used to deliver tower parts for the new transmission line to areas that are not accessible by roads. All necessary permits and permissions have been obtained and the work will be in compliance with Transport Canada requirements. The helicopter activities and ﬂight times (i.e. start times and routes near residential areas) will be managed to minimize disturbances.

The Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission Project will enable more electricity to be delivered from areas where it is generated – in the Columbia and the Peace regions – to the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, ensuring that homes and businesses continue to receive clean and reliable energy.

Girls know no limits in dance

Hope Standard

In a world where there are many restrictions on what we can and cannot do, it’s refreshing when someone steps up and says, “Yes you can do that here” — and puts that message in the name of their business. “No Limits Dance Studio” was established in September of 2013, bringing recreational and competitive dance training to the children of Hope. Chilliwack resident Carla Bayes has been dancing since the age of four, eventually getting into professional dancing and dance instruction. In 2013, Bayes saw the opportunity to open a studio in Hope’s Midtown Plaza and she has since grown her registrations to 81 students for lessons in tap, ballet, jazz and hip-hop. Due to her work schedule as a psychiatric nurse, Bayes needs help in leading classes and she has employed young upand-coming dancers to lead many of the groups. “I’m basically owning, directing and organizing — and filling in when I’m needed,” said Bayes. She is a certified instructor through the Canadian Dance Teachers and Dupree Dance Associations. Liam Mackie is a 15-year-old dancer, training at the Project Dance Studio in Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley Academy of Dance in Mission. He and fellowinstructor Delaney Hawks are members of the Canadian hip-hop teams that train in Langley and will be competing in Italy in September. Mackie teaches nine boys, aged 6 to 12, in his hip hop class at the Hope studio. “They’re all first-year dancers and they’ve improved so much,” said Mackie. “We train with songs by male artists, such as ‘Party Like a Rock Star’ and I’ve BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD choreographed a one minute, 30 second dance for them.” The boys will be showing their skills at Eleanna Angelis takes a running leap during dance practice at the No Limits Dance Studio last week.
