Funding for the Station House met with a roaring approval Erin Knutson Hope Standard
A much anticipated and controversial debate, regarding the request of additional funding for reparations, necessary, to make the Station House functional on the most basic of levels as a tourist information centre and museum ensued at an adhoc meeting, prior to regular council on Monday night. “We do have money in unallocated capital for 2015, and council would be able to use that, if it
so desires,” said John Fortoloczky, CAO, for the District of Hope on the request from AdvantageHOPE, which was given to council members on Monday, May 11th. Considerable deliberation concerning the credibility of the Station House Steering Committee findings and other possible uses for unallocated community funds, were voiced by attendees and opposing council, which ware subsequently heard and considered, as council moved to grant an additional $86,000 to the original $115,000 the District of Hope had

It was then discerned by AdvantageHOPE that for the cost of $200,000, the building

could be up and running at a bare bones level, without the comprehensive makeover that would involve upward of half a million dollars. The use of volunteer labour, which was a huge component to offset cost in the initial report was seen as subjective by some council members, as well as some of the public, in terms of liability and the actual reality of creating a sound structure, inherent to the skills facilitated by professional engineers and contractors alike.

HOMEOWNER TIPS Safely Keep Insects Off Your Vegetables Garden expert, Jack Eden has a timetested substitute for insecticides to keep your vegetables free of bugs. Catch them off guard by using an old-fashioned rose duster filled with flour. Local nurseries usually carry inexpensive, heavy duty plastic versions of this old-time tool. Fill the duster with ordinary kitchen flour and then dust the vegetable plants in the morning when they are wet with dew. If there’ s no dew, hose down the plants for about 15 seconds. Because the plants are wet, the flour adheres to leaves, stems and stalks, almost like glue, creating a gooey traffic jam on the plants and stopping bugs from moving and eating. Bugs are usually dead within the hour. If it’s raining, don’t dust. Insects go into hiding when it rains, so nothing is lost by not dusting as normal.

Apprentices required for public construction Tom Fletcher Black Press
It’s not a firm quota, but construction unions have won a commitment from the B.C. government to require apprentices to be hired for public projects worth more than $15 million. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond announced the new requirement Tuesday, and it takes effect July 1. Construction firms bidding on major projects such as schools, hospitals, roads or bridges will have to include their plans to hire apprentices. Construction unions have pushed for the change, arguing that a lack of apprentices on public jobs is an obvious gap in the government’s skills training plan. B.C. Building Trades executive director Tom Sigurdson said he is pleased with the agreement, and will give it a year to work before deciding if it goes far enough. Bond said the coming year could see as many as 15 major projects that would qualify. She agreed with Sigurdson that many apprentices don’t complete their training because they can’t find a job placement between stints in trade school. Bond said subcontracts worth $500,000 or more, with a focus on one TOM FLETCHER/ BLACK PRESS of the 57 Red Seal trades, will also require an apprenticeship component.

An outcry of approval was met by council, after a motion was granted for additional funding “I want to congratulate the momentum of volunteers, and volunteerism in Hope — that energy is priceless and what you’re doing by saying yes to these types of projects is nurturing that,” she said. After further accolades, Mayor Wilfried Vicktor imparted a final parting comment to the jubiliant room. “I think sometimes, politically doing something is less risky than doing nothing — we will be moving forward as a community together.” he said. “Over time the nay sayers will comeon board as they see the progress of this project.
It was later discussed that a professional could donate the use of their skilled labour, which would qualify under the heading of volunteerism, to complete structural demands. “We feel that inspite of the fact that there have been more extensive repairs identified then we first anticipated, and with the current information that we have — we still feel that preserving the Station house is possible and financially feasible,” said Tammy Shields, project manager from AdvantageHOPE. Though several issues had been distinguished for the building, Ms. Shields stated from her initial report that there were solutions to all of them.

Opinion
Published by Black Press Limited at 540 Wallace St., Hope, BC V0X 1L0
Seniors housing help, strongly urged for the golden agers Too many seniors are going into residential care when they could still be accommodated in assisted living, due to rules that are “outdated and too restrictive,” B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie says in a new report. The report found a 10-per-cent vacancy rate for assisted living facilities, meaning space is usually available, at least in urban areas. It calls for a “fundamental redesign” of regulations for registered assisted living, to change spousal eligibility and reduce the number of higher functioning seniors moving to residential care. More than 90 per cent of B.C. seniors live independently and 80 per cent are homeowners, who should be able to apply for a provincial loan against equity to pay for repairs, the report recommends. “A new roof or the need to fix a dilapidated deck may be a cost that forces a senior out of a house they have loved for decades,” Mackenzie said. “Living in a house that is worth $500,000 or even a million dollars does not mean much if you’re living alone on $24,000 or less, which is the median income of seniors in B.C., and you can’t find the cash to pay the bills.” Health Minister Terry Lake said he supports the direction of Mackenzie’s 18 recommendations, and the ministry is working on assisted living changes. Some recommendations, such as providing private rooms with ensuite bath for residential care beds, have “wide-reaching implications for health authorities” and require more study, Lake said. Subsidized assisted living is based on 70 per cent of the resident’s net income, with a minimum of $325 left to the resident. Mackenzie recommends that minimum should increase to $500 to allow more low-income seniors to use assisted living rather than going directly to residential care, where more costs are covered by the province. A survey of B.C. seniors finds 20 per cent are renters, with one in five of those receiving a rental subsidy. Average rents range from a high of $1,038 in Vancouver to $547 in Quesnel, and the report finds that for remote and rural communities, the biggest challenge is not cost but the availability of suitable housing.

Notley's promises include raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour and increasing corporate taxes at a time when the oil and gas industry is laying people off.

Council receives criticism, for kindness to Kinder Morgan I just don't understand how it has come to be that the Hope mayor and council is so ready to accept cash offers from Kinder Morgan, before Canadians have even said yes or no to this project. In Langley mayor and council have refused this money to date, some citizens even calling it a "bribe." The Kinder Morgan website notes that Hope will be "compensated for the disruption" during pipeline construction. I have been coming to Hope for 50 years for business and pleasure. The sport and First Nations fisheries are and always will be more economically important than the
local valley pipeline industry. In fact, the proposed new pipe is not for Canadians at all, but is a Texas company supplying China with tar sands bitumen. As a businessman and as an enjoyer of the outdoors of the North Thompson, I can see only negative economic benefits coming from this tar sands pipeline. This is because tar sands bitumen is the worst polluting of all oils, and would coat the Fraser River gravel and sloughs for thousands of miles, and as we know from the Alaska and the Kalamazoo spills, this oil would be unrecoverable and would kill the river for a generation or
more. There have been many spills on the Trans Mountain pipeline and there will be many more. This is just another statistic. In my experience this company does its utmost to keep these spills from public view. I can forward a summary report of these past spills to concerned citizens (my email is davidellis@lightspeed.ca) David Ellis Roving bookseller to the small towns of B.C.

Bio-manipulation of the post-industrial era a threat I am writing this letter to highlight a public announcement that was printed in the Thursday, May 7th issue of The Hope Standard. The readers of the newspapers of the Fraser Valley, may have missed this announcement, and I also passed over it a couple times before it caught my attention. In the wake of the apparent celebration of Avetias Recycling plant being denied a space on the banks of our Fraser River, I find it incredibly ironic that this subtle public announcement slips in a quiet admission of willfully filling our water system with poison. The “Development Of A Pest Management Plan” or “PNP # 794-003-15/20” states that there will be an intensive and rigorous application of herbicides over massive areas of local forest stretching from Maple Ridge to Boston Bar. At least eight chemical names were mentioned, as well as the proposed methods, including stem injection and aerial spraying. Some chemicals include: Siloxylated Polyether “Sylgard 309”, Editorial Department Garlon RTU, R e l e a s e To discuss any news MSO, and story idea you may Weed-Master have – or any story we have recently “Glyphospublished – please phate.)

“What can be done to critique and prevent such a practice without defaulting to the tired and stereotypical environmentalism verses industry argument?” And, what can municipal and provincial government do to protect and assure us of public safety in the communities involved in this massive herbicide application? It is a very crucial time in the history of Canada. Our post-industrialization and global trade has left us reeling from the consequences of our exploitative mass production/mass-consumption patterns, utilizing both synthetic and natural resources. We bio-manipulate and harvest stuff from the earth, as if there is an endless supply. We build factories, products and financial empires, as if endless progress, endless wealth, is attainable. Many voices engage in shouting matches at all levels of debate, from tree hugging environmentalists, to purebred capitalists. My hope is that men and women of real discernment will recognize the time of transition we are in as a developed nation, and make the right choice for the sustainability and longevity that factors into public health and human happiness.

Child benefit needed It’s no surprise that parents with young children hold more than half of all of Canada’s household debt. From parental leave and daycare to sports and school supplies, the costs of raising a child don’t stop adding up. House prices alone have surged ahead of income, and are now about eight times the average pre-tax income of a full-time worker. With increased financial pressures and rising costs, we need to ask if the support the federal government provides to parents is enough. The answer is no. The current system is a jumble of four programs with different criteria: some are taxable, some are not; some help all kids, some don’t; some disappear if you lose your job; some favour the wealthy. No parent has the time to figure out the complicated system while raising their
kids. The Liberal Party of Canada has a plan to bring back fairness: the Canada Child Benefit. By rolling all these funds together, topping them up with money saved from eliminating waste, and then targeting lower and middle income families, it would provide a lot more help per child every month, completely tax-free, to nine out of ten Canadian families. The lowest income families would get $6400 a year for a child under six, and $5400 for a child over six. The benefit would be reduced gradually as family incomes become larger. The current system gives money to those who need it least. We can do more for those who really need help by helping those who truly need it. That’s a fairer system. John McCallum, MP

derstand that this “pest control” plan is designed to protect the for-profit timber supply, which is certainly an important piece of the B.C. economy, but I wonder if anyone is just as deeply concerned about the effects of dumping five years worth of poison into our local eco-system, top soil and groundwater? I also understand that those who have been keeping an eye on forestry know that massive spraying is nothing new. I’m not a biologist, but I'm sure it doesn’t take a scientist to conclude that this long term introduction of herbicides is not good for the natural habitat and food-chain, not to mention the overall environmental equity that humans benefit from. (clean air, water and soil.) Perhaps someone can tell me: do the forests belong to the people of British Columbia, or do they belong to Timber Companies? I live in Chilliwack and I am concerned for the health of my children and my future grandchildren. After all, water flows downhill, (along with other substances) and as all of the run-off from our local mountains make their way into our aquifers, reservoirs, rivers and lakes, — it will now certainly have to go through these toxic forests!

May Day is a hay day! Kids of all ages, shapes and sizes showed up at Boston Bar/ North Bend’s 2015 May Day Festival on Saturday, May 23rd, for a sunny tribute to the beginning of summer. A parade was followed by an awards ceremony and a myriad of fun-filled activities. From clockwise: RCMP officer and dog trainer Cpl. R. Price and his adorable purebread German Shepherd charge, demonstrate the rigours of what it takes to become a certified police dog. Hooper, an 11 week old pup was named with an H, as were all his fellow police pups in training, who were born in 2015 according to the officer; Zach Chambers from Rocking Horse Carriages was awarded third place for a showmanship category in the parade; Children run round and round, during a festive bout with the May Pole Dance affair; Daton (left) and Dakota Chambers of Rocking Horse Carriages show off their duds, after demonstrating that ‘little boots’ can do some big ‘riding’ in the parade; Daton and his mom Michelle Chambers prepare to give carriage rides to eager patrons of all ages, with their majestic Percherons, who were dressed appropriately in sparkles for the day’s events.

The Hope and Area Transition Society has created a stopping the violence counselling program called “I can” empowerment for women, which is a spin-off of their stopping the violence program. A presentation is scheduled to be given by Program Facilitator Maureen Hickey to women who are interested in learning more about the counselling opportunities, provided by the new program at HATS on Thursday, June 4th. “My mascot is based on the little engine that could,” she told The Hope Standard. It’s about having the right approach and attitude about life, according to the counselling expert from Cultus Lake.

The prestigious, 2014 Don Bush Environmental Stewardship Award, will be presented to Dave Flexhaug of Hope, as a nod to his philanthropic campaign to keep surrounding areas as mother nature originally intended. Don Bush was the original recipient, of which, the award was aptly named, after being recognized in 2010, for his heroic efforts toward cleaning up the Skagit Valley every Friday from May to September. Dave took over the helm, after Don retired from his clean-up campaign at age 75, and has been working tirelessly to ensure the garbage-free status of the Skagit Valley ever since. Through his passion, hard work and dedication, Dave inspired the Friends of the Skagit, which consists of a group of avid nature lovers, who greet and educate Skagit users about keeping the gem in pristine condition during peak times. The fastidious group was formed in 2014 and is still going strong. After envisioning an awareness about the Skagit Valley for the people of Hope and its tourists, Dave continues with the support of his wife Terry in his efforts to educate and get people involved in the dayto-day maintenance of the valley. Often funding his own clean-up expeditions, which involve gas,

Hope Secondary Student wins Bronze Hope Standard
Provincial podium finishes have been a dream for track and field coach Jason Fisher, ever since he came to Hope Secondary in 2006. Now he has one. Jarek Inancsi, a grade 11 student in his second year with the team, won third place in the provincial senior decathlon at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford last weekend. (The multi-event provincials are run as a separate competition from the regular track and field provincials, due to time and space constraints.) Fellow grade 11 classmate, Jeremiah Steberl placed a close fourth in the ten-discipline event, which tests an athlete’s mettle in ten running, throwing, jumping and vaulting skills. “There were only seven boys entered this year,” said coach Fisher, who specialized in decathlon when he was a student “but this is the best provincial result for a Hope athlete since I’ve been here. As far as I know, this is the first-ever track and field medal from Hope.” Inancsi placed fifth in shot put in the junior provincials last year and did most of his training in the other events on the HSS field, which lacks a pole vault pit. “I went in as many events as I could at the Chilliwack district meets and I competed in the shot and the 100 and 200 meter sprints at the Upper Fraser Valleys,” said Inancsi on Monday. At the provincial event, which ran on Friday and Saturday, Inancsi equaled his personal best to win the shot put, with a 10.56m toss of a 6-kilo shot. “I had never high jumped at a meet before — but I came third in that, with a 1.64 meter jump,” he added. “I think I got 2.5 meters in the pole vault, where I was third. Jeremiah was first. “Long jump went pretty well, too. I think I was third there, with 4.6 meters,” said
Inancsi, whose main sport is hockey, where he plays defence. “The 1500 meter, though I’m not much of a distance runner and I finished last.” Placings in each event — and the personal measurements or times — are totaled, to give the overall standings.“The top two were grade twelves,” said Inancsi, “so next year, I’m hoping to win.” Steberl will there to push him, though Steberl has his own motivations. He, along with Tansie Pauls (senior girls discus) and Marcus Aubin (junior boys discus) will be competing in single events at the provincials at Langley in early June. Steberl placed second in pole vault at the junior provincials last year and placed second at the Fraser Valleys, to qualify for the senior provincials this year. “My personal best is 3.1 meters, set at qualifications for provincials in Abby,” said Steberl on Monday. “I am taking this opportunity at provincials to observe and learm — that and set a new PB. My goal is to break the school record of 3.2 meters, set by my brother, Matthew. “I’ve been vaulting since grade 8, when Mr. Fisher started me out with an eight-foot-long PVC pipe, just practicing the technique in the sand pit,” recalled Steberl. “Mr. Fisher has invested a lot of his time in teaching me what I know.” Coach Fisher said 18 athletes from grade 7 to 12 competed for the school this year. He said Autumn Perry White was the firstever Hope girl to compete provincially in the heptathlon, placing fifteenth at the event last weekend.Inancsi (senior shot put) and Jordan Gauthier (junior hammer) have a chance of qualifying for the provincials through an “open BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD zone” option. They will Jarek Inancsi, a grade 11 student in his second year with team with the HSS track and field, won third place in the provincial senior decathlon at hear about their chances by this weekend, said Fisher.

OBITUARIES
BOWCOTT,
Terry-Lynne
(nee Stromquist) August 18, 1956 - May 14, 2015 Terry-Lynne Bowcott lost her brave battle with cancer on May 14, 2015 with her loving husband, Michael and her family by her side. She was 58 years old. Terry-Lynne was born in Chilliwack BC to Albin and Melvina Stromquist. She was a big sister to Dwain and Diana, and as her dad was in the logging industry the family lived in Laidlaw, Alaska, Zeballos, Campbell River, and Hope BC. Terry-Lynne, after graduation from Hope Senior Secondary, worked at various businesses in Hope and then made her way to Ontario for a short time, returning to Hope to give birth to her daughter Angela Dawn. She then met the love of her life Michael and they were married in Honolulu Hawaii March 24 1979. Daughter Leanne Nicole arrived to complete the family unit, until granddaughter Nicole Lynne was born one Christmas day and mom wasn’t able to care for her, grandma stepped in and went from being an empty-nester to a grandparent/ parent again and loved every minute of it. With Terry-Lynne, everything was family, from her huge circle of friends to her equally huge extended family, the Stromquist clan, and family took precedence. If you were a friend, you were family and vice versa. After working in local service businesses in Hope, bartending, bookkeeping and waiting at the Hope Hotel (where she met Michael) waitressing at Smitty’s and Rolly’s she eventually acquired certification in Floral Design. Terry-Lynne then worked at the Flower Patch and subsequently opened her own shop - Flower Cottage until her health wouldn’t allow her to continue as a florist. During that career her kids would bring home strays, other kids who needed her love and care, and Terry-Lynne began her other career as a Foster-mom, it was this career that she became so passionate about and would move heaven and earth to ensure that those who were put in her care were shown love, understanding, and stability for however long they were in her care and beyond. This ability was recognized by all the people she worked with and Terry-Lynne became a reliable resource for coaching other Foster Parents. This also led Terry-Lynne to be included on various boards and committees in the community, as she had an ability to find solutions to complex issues regarding delivery of services . She was very proud of her inclusion as a Board member for Hope Community Services until the end. Terry-Lynne was also a Legion Executive member, and worked diligently on the refurbishment of the lounge and brought the poker club to a new home there. Poker was her passion and one could find Terry-Lynne playing at home with friends, on the computer, watching TV tournaments, and competing at the Legion and occasionally at the curling rink with the Lions. She also loved to make the jaunt down across the border with her girlfriends to Reno and later just down to Nooksak with cousins Cheryl and Frank for the seafood brunch. Terry-Lynne also loved to travel to Mexico and Hawaii and some of her fondest memories are the vacations in Mexico with Grace & Mike, Randy & Diane, Mom & sister Diana and above all husband, Michael. A Celebration of Terry-Lynne’s life will be held at the RC Legion, Hope Br. 228 on Sunday, June 14th, 2015, at 2:00 p.m. 05/15H_OB28
