Community Futures making a difference in rural communities Erin Knutson Hope Standard

Community Futures General Manager Debra Arnott, met up with The Hope Standard and Hope Community Futures Chairperson Victor Smith to discuss an exciting opportunity that encompasses a grassroots movement to encourage business owners in rural communities, and especially in Hope, where there is a niche market burgeoning that encourages an entrepreneurial spirit. The organization, seeks to grow communities, by offering advice to curious individuals looking to start a new business, buy an existing one, or to expand on an idea. “We realize that not all business ideas are the same and that is why we specialize in taking a hands-on approach to supporting our clients,” said Arnott, of their motto. “Hope is the perfect place for people wanting to start small businesses.” People often shy away from start-ups, due to a lack of support or knowledge, according to Arnott and that is what her organization seeks to do — bridge the gap and help illuminate the way for people new to entrepreneurship and those who are looking to sell their business and retire. “The plan is to initiate and develop areas through promotion, facilitation of

cooperative activities dedicated to the social, environmental and economical well-being of our clients and communities,” said Arnott. Encouraged by the excitement of people in Hope, the group operates by meting out professional advice, and provides more than capital alone, through their loans program. “Community Futures has a high success rate with assisted firms growing on average 9.5 per cent annually compared to 4.2 per cent for non-assisted firms,” said Arnott. “Businesses who are linked with us are 76 per cent more likely to survive the initial five years, following a start up, as opposed to 60 per cent of independent firms.” “If you have an idea, we can help you make it a reality,” she said. “It’s about access and we provide that from the beginning. We give people the ability to have support through the entire process of starting a business and that makes all the difference,” she said. Chairperson Smith was on board for the entire meeting and shared his perspective with The Hope Standard. “We need to encourage our young people as much as possible — they are going to be the ones who will be running this place, long after everyone else. It’s the up and comers that are going to make big changes here and it’s important to mentor them properly.”

The Fraser Valley Brain Injury Association (FVBIA) is receiving $101,119 in funding to enhance three programs to support people with acquired brain injuries. The FVBIA provides services throughout the Fraser Valley in Abbotsford, Langley, Chilliwack, Mission and Hope. “Funding for community-based associations has been critically short for years and sometimes the local brain injury groups are the only supports people with acquired brain injuries have,” FVBIA executive director Carol Paetkau said. “Thank you to the Government of British Columbia for recognizing the value of community-based services for this population.” The FVBIA will be able to expand its Pay It Forward program into Langley and Mission which focuses on a variety of health and wellness programs for those with an acquired brain injury. As well, the FVBIA will expand its prevention and awareness programs to reach a wider audience and is now able to buy new helmets for the bike safety program in Chilliwack. Additionally, the organization will be able to develop a one-on-one life skills program to support people improve their independence. “Students in our community benefit greatly from the partnership FVBIA has with the Chilliwack Safety Village,” Chilliwack MLA John Martin said. “With this funding, new helmets will be purchased so that more students can participate fully in the bike safety awareness program, promoting active living and teaching best practices when sharing the roads.”

In May, the government provided $3 million in funding over three years to the Brain Injury Alliance which has distributed funding to organizations in two stages. In the first stage, $10,000 was provided to each of B.C.’s 16 community-based, non-profit brain-injury service providers to help with operational costs. In the second stage, brain-injury organizations in B.C. receive funding based on applications for programs specific to their needs.

These organizations run programs and services to help reduce the incidence of injury or directly help those affected by brain injuries. “I’m happy to learn FVBIA is receiving significant funding to help expand and promote their various programs,” Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness said. “They provide valuable programs such as caregiver support and case managers for the smaller communities like Hope in the Fraser Valley.”

Extreme weather shelter available in Hope The B.C. government is funding five extreme weather shelter spaces in Hope this winter to help people whose health and safety may be threatened by cold, wet weather. The temporar y spaces will be available from now until March 31, 2016 as Hope issues extreme weather alerts. The temporary shelter will be located at the Thunderbird Motel, with access provided by and in partnership with the Hope & Area Transition Society. “The combination of cold and wet weather puts vulnerable people at risk,” Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness said. “We continue to work with organizations in our community provide emergency spaces for people in need.” Each community decides what weather conditions war-

rant an alert and how many spaces to activate on a given night, depending on the capacity of existing shelters and the estimated need. Throughout British Columbia, close to 1,200 temporar y emergency shelter spaces will be available this winter in about 100 communities. The provincial government also funds outreach teams to help connect people with a range of ser vices such as housing, health care and community supports. Last year, more than 7,200 people in B.C. were connected to housing, income assistance and a range of support services by provincially funded homeless outreach programs and shelter workers.

The Hope RCMP recently welcomed a new staff sergeant.

Rehdner, holds over 25 years of policing experience in the Lower Mainland, including a history in patrol, drug work, general duty emergency and in various supervisory roles. “I am a detachment commander with the amalgamation of Hope, Chilliwack, Agassiz and Boston Bar,” he said.

Veterans honoured

On April 13, Canadian Forces veteran Paul Nichols set out on the ride of a lifetime. His plan was to ride from Victoria, B.C. to St. John’s, Newfoundland, to raise awareness of the challenges many veterans face when transitioning from military to civilian life. His goal was to visit communities across Canada, share stories with veterans, and heighten awareness of the contributions military people have made and the special needs they face. His mount, Zoe, would symbolize the value of horses in helping veterans cope and heal from the traumatic brain injury, PTSD. The vision had been triggered by a chance encounter with a lady in a story who had survived the four-year Siege of Sarajevo, enduring shelling and sniper fire every night. She was rescued by Canadian troops. When Paul told her that he had served in Yugoslavia with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, she had burst into tears and hugged him, still grateful for the service of the Canadian soldiers. That haunting moment lingered and he realized the profound depths of a heartfelt story. He wondered if powerful stories like these could help heal and make a difference to both a victim and a veteran, so many of whom have suffered the torment of PTSD. As had Paul. For almost a year, Paul and his wife Terry planned the Ride Across Canada and launched Communities for Veterans Foundation. They would take their four horses and lease horses along the way, stopping in communities to visit with veterans and residents. Veterans could sign up to ride with them for a few hours or days depending on how many horses they had with them at any one time. “We were quite strict with what the ride would look like,” said Terry. “(The riding group would consist of) my husband Paul and a maximum of three veterans who have gone through a lesson and been approved to join the ride. We would have events so when we rode into a community we would have a gathering at a cenotaph, a beach, a park or a community place. There would be an invitation for veterans and community members to join us to talk and share thoughts.” The journey was amazing. Everywhere, people turned out to help, offering food, meals, hay, lodging, stabling, and vehicles. Now, almost six months later, Paul, Terry, and their support team have finally ridden into St John’s, Newfoundland having covered close to 10,000 kilometres. Some 335 veterans have ridden with them and they have visited almost 160 communities. In some places they had to trailer their horses to make up time after a diversion to a community that asked them to visit. The ride officially ended Monday, where it was followed by a reception at Government House and a commemorative celebration dinner at The Mess at CFB St. John’s. “A good friend of ours was talking about the Ride as though we were lighting candles as we were riding across Canada. We could feel this brightness, this whole inspiration. We had one veteran who was really struggling and he has actually joined our crew as a mechanic. He joined to help out because he sees the power in what we are doing. For him, it’s renewed his faith in humanity because he can see how people want to support veterans.” Black Press

Conservation officers recognized for service BC Views

The B.C. government declared the first Conservation Officer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the service that started out as mostly volunteer “game wardens.” This is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to protect people. The ceremony at the B.C. legislature Tom included awards. Chief Conservation Officer Doug Forsdick presented longFletcher service medals and two commendations for lifesaving. One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when they were waist-deep in water, far from shore. The other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an overturned boat, whom he found “extremely hypothermic” at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22. A second angler didn’t make it to shore. An exemplary service medal went to CO Micah Kneller, who caught up with Fort Nelson RCMP officers and paramedics on

Sept. 6, as they treated a hunter who had been attacked by a grizzly in a remote area. As darkness fell, Kneller found a second injured hunter, got the group together, built a fire and assisted until a rescue helicopter from CFB Comox lifted the hunters out at 3 a.m. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert had a couple of things on his mind at the event. He relayed a report from the B.C. Government Employees’ Union that there has been a 10 per cent cut in CO staff since 2002. Not so, replied Environment Minister Mary Polak. The number has “hovered around 148” in that time, she said, including seasonal staff for peak hunting and fishing periods. Polak said extra investment has gone into trucks that serve as mobile command centres, so people aren’t sitting in offices waiting for the phone to ring. They patrol more and respond faster, which can be vital. Chandra Herbert also blasted the government for a “donation” of $100,000 from the Freshwater Fishing Society of B.C. to increase angling enforcement this summer, adding more seasonal CO days. “What’s next, bake sales?” he said. The real story is a bit more complicated. In March I reported that the B.C. Liberal government finally made good on a decadeold promise to turn over all revenue from freshwater fishing licence sales to the society.

Standard

Its revenue went from $7 million to $10 million once the government finally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury. Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the first years of Gordon Campbell’s government, a period of what Bennett called “religious zeal” for privatization. The society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. This is the first year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fishing violation tickets indicate it is working. The CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, they’re real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance officers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations. They don’t get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

Letters Hope gets the shaft with boundary changes no commonalities. Why would they do this? The MLA is going to need Constituency Offices in Hope, Lillooet, Merritt, and probably Ashcroft. They'll need staff for all of them, with a budget for each area within the Constituency. How can the MLA, with shrinking budget resources, create anything progressive, or simply just manage the resources and infrastructure in such a massive area. Whoever wins the Riding is going to be spending many hours each week travelling, and is doomed for failure. Art Green

Pit Bulls get unfair assessment in article I am extremely disappointed that Lori Wellbourne's atrocious article from the Province paper was reposted in the Hope Standard. Her "facts" are not true and its people like her that get innocent animals euthanized. "This poster is a known pit bull hater and propagandist who quotes skewed/faked/ false stats from the notorious pit bull-hater Colleen Lynn of dogsbite dot org (DBO) infamy. Here is what respected dog bite related fatality (DBRF) expert and ex Foridian police lieutenant James Crosby had to say about that

DBO site: "Glad to see that others find that site as troublesome as I do. The author is not remotely interested in accuracy - I have sent several comments correcting 'facts' from having been on scene - and they never appear. So the author, when confronted by info that differs, just covers his/her ears and yells "La La La I can't hear you". The Aurora figures are typical. Dogsbite cites 473 bites in the three years. I have the hard copies of the bite reports since I am tesitfying to overturn the ban - and there were actually 459 incidents. No big deal, just

a few bites difference, eh? But sadder is the fact that I can look at these hard copy reports and literally see where the breed section has been whited out, and, in a different pen and handwriting, had "pit bull" written in. And trust me, I am not a conspiracy buff no little green men, no guy on a grassy knoll - but these are clearly altered. And even with the alterations, the numbers don't match the numbers they give."

Emil Anderson responds to erroneous letter

We respond to the erroneous letter that you published on October 29, 2015 from a Mr. Tom Anderson. The District of Hope has not been cutting the grass of any properties owned by Emil Anderson Construction (EAC.) We use our own employees or a landscape subcontractor to do such tasks on our property and other areas around the District of Hope that are part of our highway maintenance contract with the province. Emil Anderson Construction also does not store “toxic chemicals” on our property which is validated by a Phase 1 Environmental Assessment prepared by Keystone Environmental Ltd. To avoid any future misunderstandings we have moved barrels of bolts, rock anchors and other hardware used in our maintenance and construction activities from the exterior of our yards Editorial Department To discuss any news story idea you may have – or any story we have recently published – please call the editor at 604-869-4992.

Pipeline methods in question To all area residents, you should be made aware that Kinder Morgan Canada is about to partake on a Pest Management Plan for its pipeline right-of-ways, through the District of Hope and beyond, to begin after November 30. The purpose of this plan is to remediate living insects(animal life) with 12 different biological agents, some cancer causing, including glyphosate(Roundup), triclopyr(Garlon), and 2,4-D. Not only are these immediate remediates of insect life, they also pose a leeching threat to run off and ground water, and could include a threat of larger animal life, including human if consumed

through contact, water and food chain consumption. This remediation of insect(pest) life is totally unnecessary, and remediation should be contained to plant life only and by physical means, such as hand cutting, pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, and slashing. Anyone wishing to contest this absurd method of pipeline maintenance, should do so by contacting and protesting to the Ministry of the Environment, or by directly contacting Kinder Morgan Canada at: 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby, BC V5A 4S9.

In regard to Tom Fletcher's story, "New seats for 2017 BC election,” again the town of Hope gets the shaft. They are now sticking us with Merritt, Logan Lake, Clinton, Cache Creek, Ashcroft, Lillooet, and west to Dog Creek. The Riding is larger than Belgium. If the current Government retains power, then Jackie Taggart, will probably be our MLA. If not, it will be Harry Lalli, NDP(been there, done that,) or John Kidder, Green Party. Regardless, how does one MLA spread themselves between Hope to Clinton, and from Merritt to Dog Creek. The three largest communities are Merritt, Hope, and Lillooet, none of which have anything in common. How does an MLA manage such a vast area with absolutely

UFV employees making solid wages with salaries at $75,000 Staff Writer Black Press Over 375 faculty and staff members at the University of the Fraser Valley made more than $75,000 last year. Aside from the school’s senior executives, top earners included the director of international education, a senior research chair in criminal justice and deans of arts and health science. Altogether, the university with campuses in Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack and Hope paid over $69 million in employee compensation for the April 2014-March 2015 financial year.

The executive director of international education, David McGuire, earned a salary of $130,248, plus expenses of $61,611, making his total compensation the school’s third-highest, just after president Mark Evered and provost Eric Davis. His pay rose significantly since 2013-2014, when he made $105,194 in salary and $40,843 in expenses. McGuire joined the school in 2013, and previously spent over a decade working in higher education in Korea. Since 2013, international student enrolment at UFV has increased 38 per cent, keeping pace with a province-wide push for more international recruitment. UFV’s highest-paid academic is Irwin Cohen,

the senior research chair in criminal justice and crime reduction. Cohen received $161,551 in salary and $15,653 in expenses in 2014-15. That’s $15,270 more in total than he made in 2013-14, when Cohen received a promotion mid-year, filling the position left open when Darryl Plecas left to become the MLA for Abbotsford South. The position is jointly funded by UFV and the RCMP, and has covered topics like security at the Vancouver Olympics and how to best police marijuana grow-ops. Other high-paid academics were Jacqueline Nolte, dean of the college of arts, who made $170,691 in 2014-2015, and Joanne MacLean, the dean of health science, who

received $170,301. Fellow deans John English, of applied and technical studies; Lucila Lee, of science; Rosetta Khalideen, of professional studies; and Susan Brigden, of access and continuing education, all received over $150,000. On the administrative side, the highest earners included senior executives like Davis, with $199,668, Jody Gordon, vice-president students, with $189,493, and Peter Geller, associate vicepresident academic, with $177,570. The school’s highest-paid employee remains president Mark Evered, with $203,422 in salary and $17,427 in expenses for 2014-15.

Ninety-one students will receive Ike Barber Transfer Scholarships worth $5,000 each to assist them in moving between B.C .post-secondary institutions in 2015. The scholarships are awarded annually by the Irving K Barber BC Scholarship Society to undergraduate students who have completed at least one year at a public post-secondary institution in B.C. and are transferring to another degree-granting institution to complete their studies. Scholarship funds come from the returns on a $15 million endowment established by the province in 2006. The fund is named after philanthropist Irving K Barber who had a long history of supporting public education and research projects in British Columbia before his death in 2012. “The Irving K Barber transfer scholarships support students by recognizing not only academic success, but also a commitment to improving their communities through volunteer work," said Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson. "This funding helps students to focus on realizing their career goals and to participate in our thriving post-secondary education system in British Columbia." To qualify for a transfer scholarship, students must have strong grades and demonstrated volunteer service to their school and/or community. “The Transfer Scholarship program was initially established to support Ike Barber's vision that more students could pursue higher education if they could commence their studies locally and transfer when necessary to complete their particular degree objective. Doing this, students could avoid initial social disruption and higher costs associated with moving from their home communities to commence a degree program,” said Hugh Gordon, Chair of the Society. The Irving K. Barber BC Scholarship Society offers scholarship and education award programs that support BC students attending public post-secondary institutions. The Society recently announced expanded scholarship and award programs for Aboriginal students studying at the Masters and Doctoral level. Since 2006, the Society has awarded over $9 million in scholarships to thousands of BC students. The Society’s programs are administered by the Victoria Foundation. To find out more about this fund or other Society programs, call 844-478-4645 (toll-free) or visit www.ikbbc.ca

River Monsters in Hope An exciting opportunity to participate in a special event at the Recreation Culture & Airpark Services (RSCA) ‘Try It Out Day,’ on November 15 has arrived. Made possible by a host of sponsors, the event will give the youth of Hope a chance to suit up and get in the water to see if the dream of forming Hope River Monsters Swim Club, can become a reality. “We are quite excited about introducing the youth and parents of Hope and the entire Fraser Canyon Region to the world of competitive swimming — in conjunction with the RBC/CBC Sports Day celebration,” said event coordinator, Stu Leslie. “We plan to have a few coaches, kids and parents from neighbouring clubs at the event to demonstrate and welcome the new swimmers and parents to the Fraser Valley Swim Family.” The non-profit organization is hoping to get enough local support to form the team, so they can officially make an application to the B.C. Summer Swim Association to begin the upcoming season if all goes well. “Swimming is great for the kids — my daughter joined swimming, and it helped her to break out of her shell,” said Leslie. “It promotes confidence and a healthy sense of competition and sportsmanship.” The organization is looking for local coaches, and has the full support of the Recreation Commission, who are on board to promote individual and community health, according to Terry Raymond, chairman of the FVRD Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services Commission. “A swim club, provides another option and/ or opportunity for community youth of all ages, abilities and backgrounds to engage in physical activity and influence their road map to good Member at Large Appointments health,” said Raymond. “We invite members of Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services Commission the public to come in and The Fraser Valley Regional District Board, through the Recreation, Culture and Airpark show their support for Services Commission, is seeking Expressions of Interest for persons interested in a 2 year the River Monsters Swim appointment as Commissioner at Large to the Recreation Commission.

Sports Hudson’s Bay Company Heritage Trail complete Barry Stewart Hope Standard Six years. Twelve wilderness campsites created. Seventy-four kilometres of trail restored. Thousands of hours of paid and volunteer labour — and it all came down to an overnight camping trip in the snow and sub-zero temperatures to put the finishing touches on Blackeye’s Campsite on the Tulameen Plateau. The Hudson’s Bay Company (1849) Heritage Trail is now complete, though it likely will rest under a blanket of snow until next year’s hiking season. The trail starts at Peers Creek, east of Othello and carries on to Tulameen, north of Princeton. On Tuesday last week, Hope Mountain Centre’s program director Kelly Pearce was joined by Glen Keil of Hope, Kelley Cook of Princeton and Maurie Jackson of Burnaby for the final installation of signage and a roof for the bearproof cache. Keil and Jackson drove in with Pearce, taking the Britton Creek exit off the Coquihalla Highway to get onto the Tulameen forest service road, then the Loadstone forest service road, which brought them within 8 km of the camp. Cook drove in on backroads from Tulameen, accompanied by her dogs Feral and Wheels. A few weeks earlier, it might have been an easier hike — but the plateau camp is at 1850 metres, 200 higher than the peak PHOTO BY KELLY PEARCE of Mount Ogilvie.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: KMC-FACILITIES- IVMP-2015

10/15H_AH29

Applicant: Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9. Cheryl Thesen (403-358-2509).

CONSULTING ENGINEERING SERVICES

In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, KMC is required to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) (for KMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The PMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within KMC facilities. Facilities include pump stations, valve stations, terminals, tank farms and office/maintenance facilities. All facilities are fenced, secure compounds not accessible to the general public. The facilities are located in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Darfield, McLure, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Burnaby and Richmond. This PMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5 year PMP which expires in 2016. The proposed duration of the IVMP (PMP) is from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2021. The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, girdling, geotextile fabric, retaining existing low ground cover, and seeding, fertilization where set backs permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies. KMC conducts all work, including pest management, in strict adherence with all applicable laws and regulations. The common names and an example of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), diuron (Diurex 80 WDG), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), imazapyr (Arsenal), indaziflam (Esplanade SC), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl (Escort), picloram (Tordon 22K), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), Hasten (adjuvant) and siloxylated polyether (adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, wick/wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle and boom sprayer. A draft copy of the proposed IVMP (PMP) and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail online at: http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_facilities_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Applicant listed above. “A person(s) wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant within 30 days of the publication of this notice”
