Prism lead singer Ron Tobak performs live at the Sports Bowl Stage in Hope at the 47th annual Brigade Days on Saturday, September 12.
753 Waterworks users are given a platform Erin Knutson Hope Standard Concerned 753 Waterworks users met Wednesday, September 9 at the Silver Creek Elementary School Gym to discuss the options related to a pending service rate and tariff increase. Attendees received an extensive information packet outlining the required waterworks upgrades as well as the legalities of the hikes. Meeting organizers Sara Burleigh, Jessie Morris, and Ray Zervini gave the floor to a packed gym, which included dignitaries MLA Laurie Throness, Mayor Wilfried Vicktor, and Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) John Fortoloczky, as questions and concerns were fielded. “It’s going through, and they don’t have the guts to tell you it’s going through,” said Burleigh of the legal obligation of users to comply with the company rate increase. The exponential increase, which boasts a 130 per cent hike from the previous rate is on par with current water rate standards, according to stats, and a statement made by Throness during the meeting.
Failure on Deputy Comptroller Peter Bekker’s part and on behalf of the province to enforce or increase rates over the years has resulted in the rapid hike. 753 Water users may have caught a financial break over the years, but the system has fallen into a degraded state, based on the negligence of not only the comptroller, but the current owners and the facilitation of an extremely weak administration system. The estimated total to complete improvements on the system from a District report dating back to 2011 is $539,000 (this does not specify current rates for 2015.) At the level of increase specified by the report and the current rate hike to complete improvements — the company would be expected to make a significant revenue, estimated at $159, 453, give or take a few potential expenses. An excess of unpaid pills are also a current factor in the state of the system’s disrepair — according to Zervini, the company failed to mail out bills to an alarming number of customers, who will be expected to catch up in an expeditious manner.

“For now, it’s about putting that money in trust,” said Zervini, a suggestion made by organizers to quell the outrage of 753 users, until further resolution can be determined. A committee is currently being formed to rally for the District to take over the system, once it has been upgraded to a sufficient level — in the eventuality that does occur, all monies in the existing system would be transferred to the District to oversee the maintenance of the system. Speeches by MLA Laurie Throness and Mayor Wilfried Vicktor, incited the audience, as Throness discussed the nature of banning together as a community to get things done, while offering his time and services to anyone who had concerns. “I will do everything I can to help reduce costs,” said Throness, over possible strategies to reduce costs and aid in the potential
takeover of the District. “A proposal has been made, the engineer has gone over the drawings and the comptroller is doing his own assessment, it could be altered or rejected — it may turn out that what is approved will be more palatable to you.” Mayor Wilfried Vicktor, also addressed the community’s concerns about the District’s involvement with the takeover of the derelict system. “District, council and staff are keen on assisting 753 users, but we have to be very cautious, because refurbishing a water system can be a very expensive venture,” he said. “An up to date third party evaluation of the 753 water system is probably a good first step, certainly, council feels that the BC water comptroller’s office was not doing a proper job and they should be held accountable by the province.” Representatives from 753 Waterworks were unavailable for comment and did not attend the meeting.

Terry Fox Run hero’s
The legendary Terry Fox Run for Cancer Research is scheduled for its 35th annual anniversary appearance in Hope this weekend on Sunday, September 20. All participants are invited to walk, run, wheel and ride their way to a cure. This year will see a couple of extraordinary participants. Hope resident, John Wilding lost a leg in a tragic logging accident and has spent the past year learning to walk again with an advanced prosthetic leg. The 73 year old will be doing the Run, along with the oldest participant in Hope, Gordon Shepherd (aged 86) on Sunday. “It’s been about a year, but now it feels great and there’s no pain,” said Wilding of his lengthy journey with a prosthetic limb. Wilding has been working up to the race with regular runs and told The Hope Standard that 5K shouldn’t be a problem. Wilding’s message is one of encouragement to other seniors. He advises to keep going, even in the face of adversity — much like Terry. Terry was diagnosed with bone cancer in his right leg in 1977 and had to have it removed 15 cm above the knee. His quest to help other cancer patients, and to find a cure, ERIN KNUTSON/ THE STANDARD led him to the decision to raise money for cancer research by John Wilding (left) and Gordon Shepherd prepare to set the pace for Sunday’s run. running across Canada.

Opinion Published by Black Press Limited at 540 Wallace St., Hope, BC V0X 1L0
Syria crisis response scrutinized In ancient times the stranger had an almost sacred status for various reasons that continue to be probed by historians and anthropologists. Someone stumbling into a village or settlement, obviously from afar and not speaking the local language might be anyone — even a divine or threatening presence — but was regardless provided with food and shelter. Our ancestors also had another good reason to give the stranger aid; they knew that a moment’s notice they could be next, forced into exile and in need of the help they were once willing to give. The debate around how to help Syrian refugees, fleeing a vicious civil war and expanding Islamic State terrorism, has become something of a political football in Canada. It’s to be expected that various parties during the election would make various claims on the best approach. But this is a matter, to recall to our ancient forbears, is beyond politics. The publication of the photo that went around the world — that of three-year-old Syrian refugee Alan Kurdi, is ample evidence of that. Canada, not its politicians, needs to respond in a way that allows us to alleviate as much suffering as possible arising from this tragedy in Syria. Canadians are compassionate people and there is ample precedent for helping those in need. We need only recall when in the 1980s thousands of Vietnamese ‘boat people’ were taken in by this country. Compassion has to supercede politics in this matter but other questions arise of Canadians wanting to respond. While dramatic and serious events like the Syrian crisis are few and far between, there is no lack of other events seeking our charitible response. It’s important to analyze how useful and effective such charitable “trends” are, often spurred on by heart-wrenching photos, and where they go after the outrage dies down and the public moves on to the next hot issue. We can look beyond the migrant crisis in Europe to any number of countries that would benefit from the aid and compassion of Canadians. And it is right and good that we continue to do what we can. And for every trendy hashtag and its accompanying global outrage, there are local issues which, perhaps at times lacking the same hype and glamour, still need our attention. For example, Statistics Canada’s 2011 census states that more than 3,000 young people in Nanaimo are living in poverty — 21.3 per cent of those are six and under. This number is up from 18.5 per cent in 2006. Though not a new issue with celebrity spokespeople, local organizations doing their part to address it still need our support. The status of refugees, and Canada’s responsibility in assisting them is deservedly in the spotlight. And local organizations that are doing their part deserve our accolades, especially as most of them were doing the hard work to support refugees for years before it became a trendy issue. But when the hype dies down, the trick is to remember our long-term commitments to both global and local issues, whether they’re glamorous or not. Given current trends highlighted by the election, it does not seem those issues — local or global — are going to go away anytime soon. We are limited in what we can do, but the key is to act with compassion and Black Press empathy when we can, and leave the politics to the politicians.
Protest stunts distract from real efforts Tom Fletcher Black Press “I am tired of managing poverty.” The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province. In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years. “Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.” Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat. That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline. There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anar-

chists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years. Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lakestyle confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP. “To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan. Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities. “Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George. Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country. “Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,”

Ogen said. Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gasrelated development as long as anyone. Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members. “Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future. “Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?” Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by. You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them. More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

On the second day her Grandpa took her to our wonderful park and to both their amazement they found a big “Play Box,” which had been installed by the side of the playground and when they opened it – they found all sorts of donated toys — ranging from footballs, soccer balls, throwing toys and even a plastic go-cart. For four hours these two – the very young and the “not so young” played their hearts out – trying almost everything in what my grand daughter classified as “the magic box." Wow – whoever thought of this – what a grand idea! The box was attracting lots of children and they were all taking their turns-as children will.
It was two days later that our little one just “had to go back” to the magic box and again they hurried to open the chest and to her dismay – the toys had all been stolen and to add insult to injury – the toys had been replaced with garbage. At five years of age – most children have not yet been exposed to vandalism – and how do you explain that without chipping away at least a bit of their innocence? We did the best we could – but how sad that just a few bad apples have to spoil the generosity and love of most of the citizens in Hope. Carol Chaulk
Re: Pit bull propaganda is deadly In reply to the September 10 article, pit bull propaganda is deadly: I moved back to Hope six years ago and before that I lived in Burnaby and volunteered at the SPCA for several years. I'm a dog owner and dog lover who has fostered a pit bull but not an expert in any way. However, I have first hand experience with pit bulls and learned a lot from the employees, volunteers and dogs at the SPCA. I learned at that time, the number one dog breed for biting was the Cocker Spaniel. I learned that
many dog attacks are reported as being from pit bulls but when investigated further, come from other breeds. This skews the statistics and makes pit bulls look far more dangerous than they really are. I have scars on my arms from dog bites I have encountered while volunteering. Not one scar is from a pit bull or Rottweiler. My scars are from a german shepherd cross and several small dogs. I'm far more wary of small dogs because owners often don't bother to train them. I have seen a pit bull with cigarette burns on his back and an eyelid sliced
open with a razor blade, all done by his owner to make him aggressive. It didn't work! He was a sweet, gentle boy, who loved people. As I mentioned, I'm not an expert but the article condemning pit bulls did not have one quote from the SPCA, ASPCA, Cesar Milan or any other dog expert, probably because they feel it's all in the raising of the dog, not the breed.

Input needed on groundwater regulations On the heels of the successful petition to have BC review rates set for the new Water Sustainability Act (WSA), the province has released four discussion papers on the next regulations in development. Of broadest relevance and with most far reaching implications for future water security in BC is groundwater licensing. Groundwater is unregulated until the WSA comes into effect next year. Regulation of groundwater is perhaps the most significant change in this first major overhaul of BC water law in over a century. It brings with it recognition that groundwater is an integral part of the water cycle, essential to our economic and ecological well-being. It also brings responsibility to determine the state of groundwater in BC. Currently our picture of groundwater is far from
complete. We don’t know existing supplies and uses, never mind reliable projections for changing climate and growing population. Even where provincial observation wells exist there are large data gaps. Of great concern, as the government prepares to issue approximately 20,000 licences to existing non-domestic groundwater users, is that the licences are set to be for a minimum of 30 years. Even after 30 years there is no fixed requirement that licences be reviewed. The WSA only states that licences will not be reviewed before 30 years. We already know that some water sources are overused. It would be prudent to make initial groundwater licences conditional on a review in 5 or 10 years time. This would allow the government time to complete audits of groundwater supply and
The refugee crisis The Syrian refugee crisis is a serious but complex issue. The flow of refugees from the Middle East into Europe started many months if not years ago. Currently the majority appears to be from Syria but there are many from Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries in the Middle East and North Africa. In reading the reports there appear to be two types of refugee. There are those who have been subjected to various forms physical and psychological abuse including having their homes and villages destroyed and there are economic refugees who are fleeing with money for their own financial reasons. The refugees that have, for example, suffered serious religious persecution and the destruction of their
homes demand immediate consideration. Those fleeing for economic reasons may need more thought. An incident on the Greek island of Lesbos where a “refugee” was heard complaining that there were no good hotel rooms available gives pause for thought. Then we see several reports going back over many months where ISIS is quoted as saying they will flood Europe with radicalized “refugees”. When you look at many of the pictures on TV and see the large number of apparently healthy, well dressed young men acting rather aggressively and claiming refugee status you start to wonder who these people are. Our government is taking a cautious approach to screening refugees. Yes - Canada should be gen-
erous when it comes to helping genuine refugees. But, with the complex mess the refugee situation is in, there is good reason for caution. The current situation is rather different than many refugee challenges in the past. There are a lot of aspects now that are not clear and there are many dangers involved. The root of the problem is the political and religious mess in the Middle East. This needs to be addressed in a constructive way that addresses the refugee problem. Unfortunately no one seems to have any clear answers. I think the approach our government is taking by being a bit cautions regarding refugees and working towards a long term solution is the rational approach. Jack Carradice
demand, and to make projections for future supply and demand based on up-to-date data and science, before committing to long term licences.

Thanks! Brigade Days volunteers I want to thank all of the Brigade Days organizers and volunteers for the huge effort it must have taken to create such an ambitious and successful event. I was amazed by the sheer variety of things happening this year at loca-
tions all across our town. The audience turnout was very strong at the events I visited and people of all ages were having a great time. Your passion brings life to our community — keep up the good work! Kelly Pearce

Hope Community Services’ (HCS) Thanksgiving Food Drive is currently underway in the neighbourhoods of Hope, and all residents are encouraged to look for a Cooper’s Foods donation bag at the door (if you haven’t found it already.) The bag will then be picked up by volunteers on Saturday, September 19. The drive is an initiative on behalf of HCS and Cooper’s to connect good people with good food. All contributing parties are encouraged to fill the bag with nutritious and non-perishable food items. “We are encouraging people to fill the bag with high protein food sources — beans, peanut butter, pasta, pasta sauces — things people can make easily,” Program Manager of Intervention Programs Michele Thornhill told The Hope Standard. “We would like to thank all of our volunteers and encourage people to come to the office to donate, so we can purchase in bulk — it’s appreciated because we can get more food that way.” Buy & Save made a special contribution of $1000 to the organization for groceries on Tuesday.

“We weren’t sure if we were going to be able to open our doors on Wednesday, because we weren’t sure if we had enough food, so now we can and that’s awesome,” said Thornhill. The non-profit organization recently received a food grant from Food Banks Canada, affording it the capacity to store perishable food with the purchase of a commercial fridge. “We do rely a lot on volunteers — this is a volunteer driven program and without them, this wouldn’t be possible,” said Thornhill. Residents are encouraged to give generously in an effort to see that everybody has a thanksgiving to be thankful for. The organization has been busy at work, serving the community of Hope and surrounding areas for over 30 years, and its continuation is dependent on the support of the community.

B RIGADE D AYS —
THE BEST EVER !
The 47th annual Brigade Days celebration was the most successful ever, as a surplus of 4200 guests attended the three day event, starting with an exceptional parade on Saturday, September 12. Crowds lined Wallace Street to partake in the five star parade, as businesses, local dignitaries, The District of Hope, contributors and just about every organization and government affiliation in Hope and surrounding areas turned out to kick off the events. Kids, dogs, men in kilts, MLA Laurie Throness (bottom left) and chainsaw carver Ryan Cook (bottom right) made an appearance. Opposite page: A ton of fun events were featured at Brigade Days. From clockwise: Boys and girls of all ages enjoyed a host of crazy, dust-spinning events in the Sports Bowl Arena; The Westie Armie Cadets tossed a giant basketball around in Sixth Avenue Park; The Demolition Derby astonished crowds with its smoke induced crashes and it even had an evil car competing with a popular lego car on Sunday, September 13. The band Headpins stole the show during the evening portion of the events; NWO Roller Derby went off without a hitch as skaters scrimmaged in the park throughout the weekend, and last but not least, a stunning display of fireworks lit up the sky on Saturday, September 12.

Won’t back down on the pit bull debate Lori Welbourne Columnist In my last column “Pit bull propaganda is deadly” I described how canines bred for hundreds of years to be champion dog killers are not
a safe family pet. I supported facts such as pit bulls kill and severely injure more humans and animals than all other breeds combined with links to comprehensive studies, essays and statistics from several reputable sources. I also made the prediction there’d be an onslaught of hostility

get a bad rap; it’s all how you raise them; blame the deed not the breed; pit bulls are harmless wiggle butts; they were bred to be nanny dogs; it’s impossible to identify a pit bull; the media only reports pit bull attacks; poodles (or insert any other breed) bite more; you’re a dog racist; you’re a dog hater; all dogs bite; all dogs kill; cars kill more people; people kill more people; coconuts kill more people; and the list went on. The familiar myths were often written in the most aggressive language and tone imaginable, and not one person provided any evidence to dispute the thoroughly researched facts I presented. As vile as some of the messages were, they failed to surprise or intimidate me - but that’s only because I’ve written on this topic before and I’ve learned what to expect from previous feedback, as well as from reading comments under pit bull attack stories in the news. My first glimpse of this combative crowd came four years ago after a pit bull sunk his powerful jaws into the face of my friend’s eight-year-old son leaving a gaping wound in his cheek, requiring 40 stitches and scarring him for life. According to the pit bull apologists, the boy, who had simply pet his friend’s dog, must have provoked the attack. The pet’s owner was faulted as well. “There are no bad dogs, only bad owners,” was repeated incessantly. It’s one of their most popular mantras, but how do they explain all the tragedies caused by pit bulls raised from puppyhood by good, responsible owners who trained them to be safe family pets? People like Susan Iwicki believed this myth until her two pit bulls destroyed the precious life of her friend’s 14-month-old son who was in her care at the time. on all these How could this have happened when she had done products! everything right? She’d neutered and spayed her pups as soon as they were old enough, she socialized them, gave them lots of love and attention, and her three-year-old dogs had never shown any signs of aggression before they suddenly assaulted her while she was holding Daxton on her hip. Without any provocation or warning their genetics kicked in and they attacked her and savaged him for 15 torturous minutes, leaving him grotesquely disfigured and then dead. His parents were shattered beyond repair, and, like every victim of one of these horrendous attacks, they were blamed for it, as was the owner. But who was really at fault? Believing the myth that it’s all how you raise them is what killed 09/15W_PBS16 the innocent toddler.
over my ignorance and demands that I do my research. Within moments of the article being published there were countless online comments and emails stating exactly that. It was obvious many hadn’t even bothered to read what I wrote. I was inundated with the usual rhetoric: pit bulls

McDonald’s Hiring Day coming soon to Hope Erin Knutson Hope Standard An exciting and opportune hiring event is scheduled all day on Thursday, September 24 at Hope’s one and only McDonald’s location. The opportunity for interested applicants to come on down to the world’s most famous restaurant with their resumes, skills, and the willingness to work is an event to be celebrated. “McDonald’s is a good starting point for anyone,” said Hope McDonald’s Owner and Entrepreneur Stephen Yeung. “Having McDonald’s on a resume is an asset, because of the skill-set, hard work and team oriented environment.” Famous people across the world have started out at the restaurant, including Canadian actress Rachel McAdams, who worked at a location during her university career in Toronto. The fast-paced ambience provides the opportunity for employees to work on their communication and problem
solving skills in an intense environment, while honing food prep skills, observing health code regulations and enjoying the camaraderie of a positive team. “If you are willing to work hard, there is nothing you can’t accomplish,” said Yeung. “There are plenty of opportunities within the organization for advancement.” McDonald’s has been acting as a stepping stone for a new, and existing workforce for decades and is one of the most successful businesses in the District of Hope. Yeung emphasized the importance of work experience to The Hope Standard. The self-made entrepreneur started off working at a gas station as an attendant, and then worked his way up, eventually owning and proprieting 11 of his own stations. “It’s not a dead end — if you work as hard as you possibly can, opportunities will come,” he said. The annual event marks an opportunity to help bring employers and employees together.

Entertainment
Highway Thru Hell appears in Hope Discovery’s most-watched program for the 2014/15 broadcast year, Highway Thru Hell, is back. Holding the title as the third highestrated season of any series ever on Discovery last year with an estimated audience of 723 000 — the original Canadian hit series follows Jamie Davis and his crew, as they travel the highways and byways of B.C. to the mountains of Alberta. “We’re refurbishing our Flood Hope Rd location, because it’s more visible” Davis told The Hope Standard of plans his company has moving forward. The Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue Towing Company Flood Hope location will also be selling merchandise from the series and will continue operations. Davis is in the process of downsizing, due to severe competition in the area. “There are too many tow companies — this will be my last time in here,” he said of his company’s Silver Skagit Rd location.” Competition, economic downshifts, especially in Alberta with the climate of the oil industry and staffing issues, all played a role in Davis’ decision to simplify things. “It’s about less people and more quality,” he said. “At the end of the season, who we hire, often means less people, but if they’re quality that’s more important than numbers.” Premiering at the Hope Golf Club last Tuesday was the beginning of what promises to be an exciting new season. Stakes are higher than ever, as the season picks up where the story left off — Davis looking to expand his
Heavy Recovery Operation, while facing new challenges and even bigger wrecks. “You can expect to see major accidents happening this season,” he said. The Jamie Davis Heavy Rescue Crew is in for substantial change, as Davis’ brothers contribute to help maintain both operations between the two provinces. The 2012 debut of Highway Thru Hell, still holds the title of the number one series premiere in Discovery Channel history. Toyota returned as the exclusive series sponsor, featuring the full-size tundra pickup, with 13 new episodes focusing on the team of drivers who work for Davis — along with several other heavy recovery operations, all working together to keep the roads open in dangerous working conditions. “We’re very proud that our number one show is a Canadian production and plays such a prominent role in our primetime schedule,” said President and General Manager of the Discovery Channel Paul Lewis. “Highway Thru Hell is a series unique to Canadian audiences, offering a blend of real life characters that resonate Jamie Davis with daughter Alexa at their former Silver Skagit Rd location. with our viewers.”
