Cross-promotion to be unleashed with liquor reform Jeff Nagel Black Press
Wineries, breweries, cideries and distilleries with licensed lounges can now sell patrons liquor they didn't produce. Until now, a distillery couldn't sell anything other than the spirits it produces – a glass of B.C. wine was off limits – and a winery couldn't oblige if one guest at a table wanted a beer instead of the local grape. Those lines are erased under the latest change stemming from B.C.'s liquor policy review. But there will be a limit – a maximum of 20 per cent of sales by a given producer can consist of liquor produced off-site.
That's intended to keep the focus on unique local offerings. "We are doing away with B.C.'s archaic liquor rules," Attorney General Suzanne Anton said, adding the change will give more choice to consumers while supporting B.C. tourism and small businesses. Craft Distillers Guild of B.C. president Tyler Dyck said the move opens the door for craft brewers, vintners and distillers to cross-promote each other. The new rules also apply to special events, so a wedding or other event at a winery or other liquor producer will no longer have to get a special occasion licence to serve alcohol. Anton indicated more reforms may be coming in areas where "further red tape can be cut."

Opinion Support local agrifood culture
Published by Black Press Limited at 540 Wallace St., Hope, BC V0X 1L0
Growing B.C.’S agrifoods section Agriculture is so ingrained in our culture and economy—not just here in the Okanagan but across our great province. Most everyone knows someone who runs a farm or agrifood business, is employed by one, or enjoys the ‘fruits’ of its labour. Indeed, fruit is among our prized agricultural products in Kelowna and area. Our local growers work hard to produce the best apples, cherries and other tree fruits we all enjoy— and our talented vintners often capture these notes in their award-winning wines. But when you look across B.C., you’ll find other high-quality agrifoods in every corner of it—from North Vancouver Island seafood to South Vancouver Island cheeses; from Fraser Valley poultry to Interior beef; from Peace Region canola to Kootenay honey. I had the interests of all of B.C.’s producers and farmers on my mind at last week’s federal-provincial-territorial agriculture ministers meetings in Charlottetown, ensuring their voices were heard in Ottawa and around Canada. One highlight of our discussions centred on the issue of supply management. We reaffirmed support for developing new markets around the world for Canadian products, including through the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), while continuing to preserve the integrity of the supply management system. I made clear that the B.C. government appreciates the hard work of dairy, poultry and egg producers and the trusted, consistent supply of the safe and high-quality food provided to British Columbians. I also reiterated our government’s support of maintaining supply management. For those unfamiliar, The Trans-Pacific Partnership will deepen Canada’s trade ties in the fast-growing Asia-Pacific region while enabling us to maintain a strong North American production platform, creating jobs and opportunity in our country. I also brought the voice of B.C.’s seafood producers to the table, as I work with my counterparts to develop further opportunities for the sector to participate in future federal-provincial funded programs. We discussed upcoming negotiations for Growing Forward 3— our policy framework for Canada's agricultural and agri-food sector—and I communicated the need for provincial flexibility to be part of the agreement, namely on seafood innovation. I’m also pleased to report that among the other issues we discussed—like sustainability, pest control, and the importance of efficient transportation— our local wine industry was of great importance. You can help by continuing to buy local and support the farmer or agrifood producer in your life. It’s a delicious and healthy way to keep our local, provincial and even federal economy ‘growing’ forward. Black Press
Struggling economy hot election topic Tom Fletcher Black Press
Conservative leader Stephen Harper promised an expanded tax break for hiring apprentices Monday, as parties started an extended summer election campaign. Campaigning in Quebec, Harper announced that if his government is re-elected Oct. 19, employers will receive a credit up to $2,500 a year for wages paid to qualifying apprentices for all four years of their training. Harper's Conservatives established the program in 2006, with a credit of up to $2,000 for the first two years to stimulate hiring and training. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair began his campaign emphasizing signs of weakness in the Canadian economy, with the latest statistics showing the economy contracting in the first five months of the year. "Wages are falling, incomes are stagnant, and household debt is skyrocketing," Mulcair said at his campaign kickoff in Hull, Quebec. "Middle-class families are working harder than ever, and can't get ahead." Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has also focused his campaign on middle-class voters, with a central policy of reducing tax on middle income and increasing it for the top one

per cent of income earners. Green Party leader Elizabeth May began the campaign in her home riding of Saanich-Gulf Islands. Her economic platform also calls for tax increases for the highest income earners, as well as increasing corporate tax rates to 2008 levels. The early election call increases spending limits for parties and caps it for third-party advertisers such as labour unions that have been targeting Harper. It also leaves some ridings without nominated candidates.Another change is in debate formats, as first Harper and then Mulcair declined the traditional debate organized by TV networks. The first national debate is set for Thursday, Aug. 6, hosted by Maclean's magazine. Among the topics will be sharp differences over Canada's role in the international military action against Islamic State terrorists in Iraq and Syria. Harper renewed Canada's commitment to maintain six fighter jets and special forces support in one of his last acts before calling the election. Both the NDP and Liberals are promising to end the bombing of Islamic State positions.

Letters
Well-coached phrases mean nothing
The election campaigns have been going strong and the candidates have been bombarding us with those well coached phrases that sound so good but upon closer inspection are often quite meaningless. Unfortunately, they can be very effective in creating fear among the voters. A recent letter referred to an international agreement that "actually exports jobs out of the country" ('Are you on the voter's list', the Observer June 11.) I don't mean any disrespect to the writer, after all, this is the way electioneering is done in Canada and it is done equally by all parties. But when it comes to election rhetoric, the outsourcing of jobs scare is particularly ripe for criticism. The simple fact is that it has been raised in every election and has been proven wrong for almost 50 years. Remember in the late 60's when
Honda first came to Canada and Japan was taking all our jobs? Remember the horrible Koreans that were pillaging our labour market? Then came Hong Kong, Indonesia, India, several others, and now China. Despite all, Canada continues to grow and provide an ever better life for Canadians. I cursed myself several years ago when I graduated with a degree in international economics. Over the years I have always been frustrated to listen to the misinformation that piles up about the economy prior to each and every election. On the plus side, though, over time I realized that we don't really need a degree to evaluate our candidates. For those of us over 50, all we need is a memory. Remember 1993 when the GST was the scary monster of the day and had to be repealed? Don't laugh, that scare tactic worked like a charm. Twenty years ago it was NAFTA that was used to scare
everyone to death. Today, modern trade agreements rank right up there on the fright scale along with foreign ownership, the end of the middle class, and so on. There is nothing on the doomsday list that we haven't heard every election for decades. In the environment debate the term "junk science" is often heard. Well, when our candidates give us only carefully contrived sound bites, we are hearing junk economics. The young voter has a challenge. The candidates are products of media training and the words come rolling off their tongues as if they are fact. But for those of us born before 1970 our memories should easily trump a flawed message.

A local financial expert is cautioning consumers in the Fraser Valley against excessive borrowing in the wake of the Bank of Canada’s key interest rate cut earlier today. David Yan, vicepresident of wealth management at First West Credit Union’s Envision Financial division, said B.C. residents should regard the 25-basis point drop with caution, particularly when it comes to personal mortgages and lines of credit. “With interest rates at historic rock-bottom lows, money is accessible and inexpensive to borrow, but that doesn’t mean the average Canadian should indiscriminately take on more debt,” said Yan. “Eventually, interest rates will go back up. It’s not a question of ‘if’ but ‘when’,” he said. “A high debt load that might be serviceable now could lead to future pain.” Beyond credit card debt, Yan says that floating lines of credit can be particularly problematic if borrowers aren’t disciplined. “With housing values in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland rising so dramatically in the last decade or so, lines of credit secured by the home value have also increased substantially,” he said. “People can become too comfortable increasing their debts using a line of credit, rather than focusing on paying them down. It happened last time there was a rate cut and is likely to be intensified by this one.” Yan emphasizes the need for prudent financial planning. “If there ever was a time to establish a longterm financial plan, this is it — there’s uncertainty about whether the Canadian economy is in recession, about whether the housing market is inflated and there’s high household debt across Canada. “I urge anyone who doesn’t have clear financial goals to set up a meeting with an expert who can help you establish a financial roadmap.” Proud media sponsor

Opinion One car crash is too many Lori Welbourne, Columnist
Have you ever driven from one location to the next and realized once you reached your destination that you didn’t remember getting there? I have. And when I do, it freaks me out. How is it possible that I could get behind the wheel of a vehicle made up of thousands of pounds of steel and operate it without being completely attentive in every sense of the word? It’s not like I haven’t witnessed the horrific destruction of a car crash and its everlasting aftermath. You’d think the first tragic one I knew the victims of would have whipped me into shape.  I was 23 years old at the time and had just started a job at a grocery store, where I worked with a beautiful young woman named Lisa Maier, a sweet and helpful cashier. We had attended the same high school - she was a grade older and I looked up to her. Lisa welcomed me with open arms and told me to ask her anything anytime. “Don’t worry about a thing,� she said, when I told her how nervous I was. “We’re going to have tons of fun. You’ll see.� Buoyed by her friendly confidence,

The key to preventing car crashes, though, seems simply to be paying continuous attention to the road ahead of us. By doing so, we can help keep everyone safe, including ourselves. For more tips and information on preventing injuries and deaths due to car crashes, please visit OneCrashIsTooMany.com

Sports Get a new perspective on the place you live Barry Stewart Hope Standard
Sometimes you don’t know what you’ve got until you see it through the eyes of a newcomer. I was reminded of that last Saturday, when I met some weekend visitors who were checking out the swimming hole on the Coquihalla at the mouth of Sucker Creek. It’s a surprise to some Hopians when they hear that I no longer live in Hope — but it’s true. The Stewarts moved to Chilliwack in 2004, but I kept driving back for another ten years for my teaching job, which I retired from last year. Now, I’ve continued with my weekly sports column here, fueled by the many local contacts I’ve made over the years and a continued love for this town and its stories. It possibly looks like I never left — and I do keep coming back. I was in town on Saturday and ended the day with a visit to Sucker Creek beach, to see if I could catch a photo of some water fun, and take a dip myself. A group of kids were playing in the warmer, shallow waters of Sucker Creek, where it mixes with the Coquihalla. Out on the diving rock, three young men from Pitt Meadows were relaxing in the sun before heading back to the Coquihalla Campground, where a group of 20 friends were camping over the weekend. Josh Hanley still had a few jumps in him, so I got my photos and a few quotes before jumping in, myself. What a great and refreshing feeling! Hanley said, “We don’t have clean water like this in Pitt Meadows. It’s so dirty down there.” His friends nodded in agreement. When I got back to the beach, the woman in charge of the kids wondered if I knew how they could get back to the campground. They had waded down the river and she wasn’t looking forward to wading back up. I said I’d lead them back to the road and show them an easy way to the campground — and the questions started coming. “Why is the water so much warmer in the creek?” When I explained that it came from a swamp, the woman groaned and the kids giggled in that delightful spirit you feel when you’re out enjoying nature. Then they wanted to know about the fish, so I told them about the suckers and salmon that spawn in the creek. I failed to ask their names, as I didn’t realize until later that a story theme was landing in my lap — but these folks were a mix of family and friends from Surrey and Delta and an exchange student from Taiwan. I must have been giving off a Hopian vibe, because one of the young girls assumed I lived nearby and exclaimed, “You’re so lucky! There’s so much water here. It’s beautiful!” Coquihalla Campground manager, Cathy Bruggeman, had one thing to say on Monday. “Everybody I send to Suckers Creek raves about the sand and warm water.” Bruggeman, now in her fifth year of working at the campground pointed out that their main group of customers are German or Dutch. “There’s a huge group of people who rent R.Vs in Calgary or Vancouver and we’re either their first stop of their last stop. The families we get on the weekends are mostly from the Lower Mainland.” The site is owned by the District of Hope but operated under contract by Holiday Trails and has 122 campsites that can each house up to four adults. Add some kids and the population of Hope can jump by over 500 on a busy weekend, just at that one campground. The current campfire ban has thrown a damp towel on the ultimate camping experience — but Bruggeman said a propane campfire is the next-best thing and they sell two or three a week at the camp office. “They give a good flame, good enough that people passing by are often confused and they phone to report a campfire,” said the manager, laughing. “But they don’t give sparks, you can’t knock them over and when you turn them off, they’re off. “Because we’re surrounded by mountains and trees, a lot of people say we’re a lot like a provincial park here,” said Bruggeman. “Most people say it’s nice to have that background noise of the river at night, too. “In the daytime, lots of people take their camping chairs and sit in the water BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD and just relax.” Hey, Hopians! You live in a beautiful, special place. If you ever forget Josh Hanley of Pitt Meadows takes a leap into the Coquihalla River at the mouth of Sucker Creek on Saturday. Hanley and 19 of his friends were staying at the Coquihalla Campground over the long weekend. that, chat up some tourists and see if your heart doesn’t swell with pride.

Carving
CHAINSAW Greetings On behalf of Communities in Bloom President Victor Smith (top right) and the District of Hope Council it is my pleasure to welcome all visitors to the Chainsaw Carving Competition. For those Victor Smith of you who are visiting Hope for the first time, it is my wish that this visit is the first of many. As a quick tour of our community will reveal, chainsaw carvings are a very important part of our District appeal. Many years ago the District commissioned our very own Pete Ryan to produce a series of carvings, which turned out to be a huge success. The 2015 World Class Chainsaw Carving Competition will bring in some of the world’s best chainsaw carvers and we welcome them into our community. A special thank you to the many organizers and sponsors who made this event possible — you are a cut above the rest! See you at the competition. Mayor Wilfried Vicktor
Welcome to the 2015 Hope Chainsaw Carving Competition Carvers from around the world are set to attend the 2015 Chainsaw Carving Competition in Hope. The annual event is quickly becoming a staple of the local community and being recognized on an international level. In 1991, Hope began to define itself as the chainsaw carving capital of the world. An aging Douglas fire tree in Memorial Park was found to be suffering from root rot, which was followed by an ingenious idea to carve the remaining trunk into a work of art. Shortly after, local residents and visitors alike, fell in love with the work of Hope carvers Pete Ryan and Randy Swope — photographers from around the globe began documenting images of their work, quickly spreading the message that Hope was a big contender on the carving front. Several internationally-renowned carvers have added their work to Hope’s inventory over the years. In total, there are more than 50 carvings on display throughout the community. The exceptional event is gaining a world class reputation among top carvers around the globe and in the industry, as Hope continues to secure its place as the chainsaw carving capital of the world. Expert competitors will carve works of art out of

The Grandaddy’s of Chainsaw Carving Pete Ryan Ryan also known as the Grandaddy of Canadian Chainsaw Carving, began his journey as an artist at his father’s sign shop, where he was exposed to the long lost art of hand painted billboards — a type of quality that has vanished in contemporary signage production. In 1974, Ryan moved to British Columbia from Toronto and was greatly influenced by the work of Don Colp. Ryan completed a commercial arts degree through a four-year correspondence course, and enjoys working with characters like Mickey Mouse. He even has a carving of Miss Piggy in his shop, just for good measure. Ryan takes inspiration from life, using a plethora of dead stuffed animals that fill his studio and shop to create a sense of heightened realism in his work. He is all about the fine details and combines different
mediums and practices to create his unique and signature style carvings. He has a passion for wildlife carving and has mastered the true forms of wildlife and mythical creatures, which are evident at his gallery in Hope. The master carver has been at the top of his profession for over forty years, and continues to advance at a pace equal to the industry itself. Randy Swope Swope is a unique and longtime carver based in Hope. He sells his personified carvings that range from carvings with huge beards made out of cedar trunks, to tiny frogs made out of apricot pits at his shop Beadifferent Canada. At age eight, Swope began whittling small figures out of wood, and he never stopped.
Welcomes all Chainsaw Carving participants & visitors!
ERIN KNUTSON / THE STANDARD
Over a decade ago, he began experimenting on a much larger scale, sculpting some of the distinctive characters that adorn the town of Hope. His realistic creations are based on
traditional subject matter that is fused with his own personal interpretations, often delighting and surprising his audience with the different personalities that emerge from his work.

The avid fishermen, hunter and devoted family man recalled his oddest job, which involved the carving of a Hobbit character at a Hobbit Park in California. Colp gravitates toward the ECHO CS-600 Saw as his choice of carving tool. His strengths as a carver include making precision cuts and the ability to block out a sculpture, so it takes on realistic proportions. One of the oddest situations the carver encountered, involved allowing a group of nuns to use his saw to assist in the completion of a carving. The artist prides himself on

Colp has never scrapped a piece and started over in a competition, but has done so for a client, because there was a flaw in it. Preferring competitions over commissions, the seasoned artist does so because it allows him to pursue his own artistic ideas.

Tomas Vrba Vrba grew up in Slovakia before the fall of the Berlin Wall and never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to become an artist, or that he would be widely recognized in the States; both, came to fruition. Vrba earned a coveted spot as an apprentice in an art school program, where he spent four years cultivating his raw talent and learning the art of classical woodcarving. This was followed by a Master’s degree from one of Europe’s most prestigious art instititions, VSVU Bratislava, where he studied Sculpture Restoration. After marrying an American woman named Allison in 2006, Verba, and his wife opened the Tomas Vrba Studio in the Seattle area. It was there he discovered the distinctive art of chainsaw carving. Tomas’ unique training, experience, talent and ability to harness the raw power of a chainsaw helped to create his signature style of sculpture. The award-winning carver placed first at the Husky Cup World Championship Invitational in Mulda, Germany and first at the White River Sculpting Championships in Pacific, WA. Randy Gauthier Randy Gauthier was born in Dawson Creek and lived most of his life in Chetwynd B.C. The Salteau First Nations carver was a learning assistant to Australia’s Robbie Bast and Hiromu Kurita of Japan. After only a year and half on the carving scene, Gauthier’s star is rapidly rising. He placed second this year in the amateur class at the Campbell River Shoreline Art Society’s Chainsaw Event and was commissioned to stay an extra 10 days to complete several pieces. Gauthier has been to Kamloops, Bella Coola and Prince George and plans to hit the United States and Ontario before heading to Hope, where he will compete against some of the biggest personalities in the industry, including Ryan Cook of Carver Kings, whom he lists as one of his favourites out of the bunch.Technique is important to the budding artist and he learns by the art of doing, never losing appreciation for the main staple in chainsaw carving — wood. Chris Foltz Christ Foltz is an award-winning ice carver, as well as a culinary expert and executive chef who teaches at the Oregon Coast Culinary Institute. The prolific ice master is a self-taught chainsaw carver, who learned to carve ice during his late night shifts at a Casino. Foltz has worked at Brice and Brice Ice Sculptures, Ice Alaska, Studio Ice Inc., Ice Age Ice Sculptures of Greenville and Chainsaw Carving & General Insanity. After mastering the art of ice sculpting through the chainsaw, Foltz went on to experiment with wood carving. The dynamic and versatile carver competes using both ice and wood mediums, in a global competition setting and has mastered his art form by implementing various techniques used for ice, and then transposing them into wood. Foltz is the face of a new generation of carvers who are pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a wood sculpture, while exploring new ideas and avenues for the genre.

Ryan Anderson
Anderson has been sculpting professionally since 2006, and is currently the Sculptures in Motion performing artist. As one of the youngest members of his competitors, he has taken the helm as one of the top carvers amongst his contemporaries and established himself as a forcefield in the industry. At age 16, Anderson curious about carving, discovered the chainsaw and began the unique discipline full-time after graduating from Reedsport High School in 2007. Among the distinguished veterans of the chainsaw industry, Anderson has worked and studied under Mark Colp. At the age of 20, Anderson was asked to represent Husqvarna and continues to use their brand of chainsaw for his masterpieces. Having competed across North America and Europe he brings an inspiring flavour and imagination to his work. He also uses his talent to help others learn different skills and techniques.
Jerry Strelioff Jerry Strelioff is a master carver who calls Campbell River home. Strelioff initially picked up a chainsaw 15 years ago, after Max Chickite (co-founder of the Campbell River Shoreline Arts Society) suggested that Jerry consider competing in a chainsaw carving event. The event was a success for Strelioff who placed first in the amateur group division. He never looked back, as he carefully carved out an extraordinary career with a passion and ease, demonstrative of a man with chainsaw carving in his veins. Described as a MacGyver personality type, he works tirelessly to master and execute all of his creative ideas. Implementing form, functionality and grace, Strelioff is a carver to be reckoned with. He took first place in the the carving competitions in Campbell River, Chetwynd and Hope and currently works with Ken Sheen of Pine River Carving.
Ryan Cook Vancouver’s Ryan Cook has only been carving for a few years, but he’s solidly rising to the top in an industry that is currently featuring a host of talented individuals. Once an actor, the chainsaw carver hit the big time on the small screen with HGTV’s reality show Carver Kings — a spin-off of the hit show Timber Kings. Cook began to solidify his craft as an apprentice on the show. The blond curly haired newbie had zero experience with chainsaw carving, but as time wore on, he quickly immersed himself in the art form and began carving every chance that he got. The dynamic and competitive nature of the show helped Cook to become a better carver. After the show was cancelled, Cook became a pro in 2013, and has competed in top competitions around the world. He recently established his own custom carving business Saw Valley, which is located in Britannia Beach.
