Guns were blazing Sunday as members from the Hope Rod and Gun Club took aim at steel targets during their monthly western themed Cowboy Action, in which competitors dress in 19th century garb and shoot to win. Aliases of the shooters included Schofield Kid, Parson Pickaxe, Rooster, Appaloosa Screw and Mascot.

The District applies for infrastructure grants for Pollution Control Centre upgrades Erin Knutson Hope Standard

The District of Hope recently applied for provincial and federal infrastructure grants to upgrade the Pollution Control Centre (PCC). The system is currently running on a grandfathered operating certificate that doesn't necessarily match modern day regulation standards. “It's very likely that the current operation of the PCC will not be allowed under the grandfathered certificate in the future,” said Mayor Wilfried Vicktor. “It's more than likely that regulations will be more stringent in the future — the District should be prepared to conform to updated standards.” It was decided by the majority of council

as an appropriate course of action at a special meeting, based on a report provided by Opus DaytonKnight Consultants Ltd. The report outlined the stages and cost of projected short-term and long-term system upgrades to deal with specific issues affecting treatment performance. According to the detailed report provided by Opus DaytonKnight, for the PCC to stay abreast of modern regulations, a new dish filtration system and a UV treatment system were recommended. The District agreed to go ahead with the suggested upgrades as well as the more immediate concerns outlined by the company, which stated “the aeration diffusers and flow control

distribution boxes that allow for lagoon cell isolation are beyond their design lifetime and in need of replacement.” The company projected that a “major process expansion” was required to meet federal and provincial regulations over a 20 year design life. The total of the upgrades is estimated at approximately $2.4 million and with the application for federal and provincial infrastructure grants firmly in place, the District would only have to absorb less than one third of the costs. “There are reserve funds available for this purpose — it's not politically flashy, but it's mandatory. Pollution control is a core service,” said Vicktor.

The Mounties always get their cow

Bystanders, cow whisperers and RCMP joined forces to wrangle a wayward Highland steer that was wandering around cheerfully near Landstrom Rd. last Tuesday.

if there is sufficient evidence to charge the unruly bovine for trespassing and grazing in an unlawful location.

RV goes up in flames near Herrling Island

The Popkum Fire Department responded to a fire involving a recreational vehicle Sunday at 7: 30 p.m. 1 km West of Herrling Island. When firefighters arrived on scene, the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames, and the owners were nowhere to be found. “We arrived approximately 13 minutes after we received the call and stayed for about an hour,” said Emergency Services Manager for the FVRD, Chris Wilson. After the flames were extinguished, fire crews left the scene in the care of RCMP. “My members arrived but there were no signs of foul play,” said RCMP Fraser Valley Traffic Services Sgt. Mario Cloutier. “This led us to believe it was probably a mechanical malfunction.”

The B.C. government is preparing to send medical and psychological teams to help care for people evacuated from Fort McMurray, as the B.C. Wildfire Service works to contain a fire that has burned across the Alberta border north of Fort St. John. The Siphon Creek wildfire was estimated at 9,000 hectares as it spread into Alberta on Thursday. B.C. ground crews and helicopters are working to contain it, with priority on protecting the Doig River First Nation community south of the fire. The largest B.C. fire in a cluster in the north Peace region is the Beatton Airport Road fire, estimated at 10,000 hectares. It was listed as 85 per cent contained by Friday morning, and the Alaska

The Peace River Regional District issued an evacuation order Thursday for the area around Mile 80 of the Alaska Highway and the area affected by the Beatton Airport Road fire. With eight significant fires in the region keeping B.C. fire crews and aircraft busy, the province has shipped pumps and hoses to Alberta to assist. A mobile hospital and a team of volunteer counsellors, social workers and psychologists was being prepared Friday to assist with evacuees in Alberta.

The assistance of local "cow whisperer" Ionela Garrett and her horse Bolt was utilized and eventually lead to the successful apprehension of the wayward beast.

There had been concerns for both the walking and motoring public as the Highland steer seemed to be enjoying a brief moment of freedom outside its usual fenced compound. Police officers, acting swiftly, were able to confine the animal of husbandry to a wooded area. RCMP

Competitors were only male on Sunday (due to a smaller turnout for Mother's Day,) but the club is home to both male and female shooters. Costumes and accessories added to the fun and set the mood for taking care of business in the old west according to club member Louise O'Hara, who was on hand taking score for the day's activities. Fierce competitors with the aliases of Scofield Kid, Vest Windbreaker, Parson Pickaxe, Rooster and Appaloose Screw were reigning havoc on targets during the event. Sunday was just one of many exciting things the club is up to. Rod and Gun Club President George Preston, a retired RCMP officer with over 31 years in the force met with The Hope Standard to discuss some of what the prestigious organization has to offer.

Cowboys and cowgirls were invited to the Hope Rod and Gun Club's Cowboy Action Shoot on Sunday. The popular monthly event features shooters in traditional western garb and is targeted for families and anyone wanting to test their mettle in a series of old west themed courses designed for time and accuracy. The once a month competition features shooters, who compete in various scenarios using firearms typical of the era. Single action revolvers, pistol caliber lever action rifles, and old-time shotguns were implemented as each contestant battled it out for top score. There were three stages in the competition with each stage testing different skills and abilities, affording shooters the chance to improve upon overall

accuracy and handling. The Cowboy Action Shoot follows the sanctions of the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS,) an international organization that preserves and promotes the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting. To get in the old-time mood, participants were encouraged to dress in clothing appropriate to the 19th Century era. Shooters were able to choose a fictional character or to develop their own personal icon. The club suggests that participants start with blue jeans, cowboy boots, and a hat. Costumes can be as elaborate or minimal as the individual desires. Bankers, blacksmiths, lawmen, gunslingers, railroad engineers, saloon girls, schoolmarms, cavalry, mountain men, trail cowboys, prairie women and just about any imaginable character from the bygone era are conceivable.

the small size, members know other members and can discuss any issues amongst each other. “So far we haven't had to kick anyone out because we know who our members are,” said Preston. There are many reasons that people join gun clubs, one of them being that a regulation to owning a small hand gun in Canada, is that the owner be a member of a rod and gun club. “They have to comply with legislation, so some members join for that reason. We're also a hunting society, everybody has a gopher story where they fired a round at gophers and groundhogs or hunted ducks with their Dad.” Generally people have had a positive experience with firearms and they join because of the

events and opportunities available to them at the club, including .22 Shoot, Tactical Shoot, Trap Shoot, Pistol Shoot and Cowboy Action. Shooters can start as young as 12 under supervision and with core safety courses under their belts. “People come out for the social aspect of it, and we also have a pistol league on Wednesday's because there's a lot of people in town with hand guns, who don't know what to do with them and I teach them how to shoot in a course of fire.” A course of fire involves shooting steel targets in a specific sequence according to Preston, who is adamant about safety briefings and range protocol for all shooters. Newbies can try out a firearm at the .22 shoot under Preston's supervi-

sion and instruction. He currently instructs the local RCMP in firearm training sessions at the RCMP Pacific Region Training Centre in Chilliwack and is a competitor in various firearm competitions on the national scene. The club adheres to all Canadian safety regulations and has had quite a history over the years. It is home to a solid group of community oriented business people, who have undertaken many community initiatives like fishing derbies, and participating in last year's Fraser River Clean Up. Potential gunslingers are encouraged to find out more about the club's many events and are invited to attend one of their scheduled shoots, where they can chat with members of the organization. Please visit hbcrgc. org for more details.

Arson investigated in northern B.C. As many as 10 wildfires in northeast B.C. this spring may have been deliberately set. Environment Minister Mary Polak said Tuesday evidence an apparent string of arsons has been turned over to conservation officers to track the source of the fires. The B.C. government has tripled the fine for not comply-

ing with burning restrictions to $1,150, but deliberately set fires are more serious. "Arson would result potentially in criminal charges, and if somebody was convicted, they would see jail time," Polak said. Rapid snow-melt and an early warm spell created high fire hazard in areas of dry grass, sparking forest fires north of

Fort St. John that forced hundreds of people to evacuate. Evacuees were allowed to go home on Sunday after rain and snow slowed the fires. Crews and aircraft in Alberta and B.C. continue to work on the Siphon Creek fire, which grew to more than 50,000 hectares as it crossed he provincial border.

“We are an active organization, there's a lot of people in town who have an interest in firearms,” said Preston who teaches the PAL course. To be eligible to apply for the PAL, applicants must have already passed the written and practical tests for the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC.) The PAL course teaches safety and how to handle a gun properly in accordance with the licensing system in Canada. According to Preston, a firearm cannot be owned, unless the purchaser has obtained a PAL certificate. There's a prohibitive screening process that a candidate must undergo before they can even take the PAL course, which operates as a system to weed out the good candidates from the bad. “It's all about safety — I won't pass someone unless I feel they are safe,” said Preston. “I will meet with people beforehand to get a feeling about them and there's a few I've refused because something was off.” Preston begins his interviews by asking people why they want to own a gun, and if they can't come up with a sufficient answer he red flags them. Any issues, like marital trouble, or psychological problems are par for preventing people from acquiring firearms or even completing the courses to obtain them. The club consists of 170 properly screened members and because of

Opinion

System failing kids In our school system, a twoyear wait for an assessment for a child who may have a learning disability or some kind of behavioural issue is considered pretty good. It’s a pretty shocking fact, and some of our school trustees seemed surprised to hear it from the medical health officer for Central Vancouver Island, Dr. Paul Hasselback at a recent board meeting. They shouldn’t be surprised. We’ve been reporting about the problem for years, and their own professionals in the field have spoken quite passionately to the board about it in the past. Though to be fair, that was a different school board and some of the trustees are new. We hope that perhaps this can encourage a new urgency on this very important issue crippling our school system. The fact of the matter is, it is a long, hard road to get your child any extra help from the public school system. The cold, hard truth is that by the time most of these kids get the assessment they need — which doesn’t always lead to adequate in-school support for their problem, school budgets being what they are — many grades have gone by where many of these students have learned virtually nothing. Often they are a problem for the rest of the class, as well, as they prove disruptive and eat

up a lot of their teacher’s time, if their teacher is conscientious in trying to deal with their needs. Or there are the other kids who don’t act out, they just withdraw quietly into their own little worlds, silent victims floating by. In many classrooms there are a lot more than one or two of these students as well. By the time their turn for assessment rolls around, a lot of these kids are no longer in the public school system, their parents long having gotten fed up with the bureaucracy that is so desperately failing these kids. It is also a whole other problem when parents refuse to admit to themselves that there’s anything different about their child. This attitude does a disservice to their child’s class, their child’s teacher, and most of all, their child. When it comes to behaviour problems, the longer the children go without a proper plan to help them, the worse the whole situation becomes, as undesirable behaviours, and the trouble in school that so often comes with them, becomes ingrained, and can even escalate. We hear all the time about unacceptable wait times for surgeries at our hospitals and how the government is pouring resources into cutting those lists down. It’s time they do the same for our children who are waiting for assessments at school. Black Press

Growing trees for climate change

B.C. VIEWS

Tom Fletcher Disagreements persist on the extent of humanity’s role in the current changes to B.C.’s climate, and our ability to influence it, as many readers have told me in the past week. But almost everyone seems to agree that growing more and healthier forests is a good strategy. I would add that harvesting and building with wood preserves its captured carbon, a fact not much discussed in emotional appeals against logging. The B.C. government is finally spending some money on community fuel load removal projects this year, after an initial flurry following the Kelowna fires of 2003

faded in hard times. But the effects of decades of fire suppression in a fire-dependent forest system remain, as northern B.C. and Alberta are showing us again. There is some positive news here. A Victoria-based government research team has published a study that calculates B.C.’s pine beetledamaged forests are regenerating more quickly than expected. Warmer temperatures, increased precipitation and the “fertilizer effect” of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are factors. “By 2020, the enhanced growth due to climate change and increased CO2 more than compensates for the carbon loss from dead, rotting trees,” said lead researcher Vivek Arora of the Canadian Centre for Modeling and Analysis. This recovery even overcomes the projected increase in forest fire loss that comes with gradu-

ally increasing temperatures and drier periods. The federal government is still working on its plan to meet greenhouse gas reduction targets agreed to in Paris last year. But the forest industry has stepped up with its own goal. I spoke last week with Derek Nighbor, president of the Forest Products Association of Canada, after he announced his industry’s “30 by 30 Climate Change Challenge.” That’s a goal to reduce the industry’s net carbon emissions by 30 megatonnes a year by 2030. That would be 13 per cent of the Canadian government emission target. One of the main strategies is salvage harvesting and developing more products that use wood. “It’s basically trying to use every part of the tree,” Nighbor said. “In forest operations right now, this is

where we see a big part of the opportunity. Instead of the residual branches and whatnot just being left aside and slashing and burning, bring more of that out and turn it into something.” That something might be a console in a luxury car constructed with wood fibre, or an 18-storey wood student residence building planned for the University of B.C. The other is improving forest growth. Logging operations have long been required to replant areas they cut, not just in B.C. but across Canada. Another way to improve forest carbon capture is with more productive species, with genetic techniques that increase resiliency as well as wood mass.

that logging should be stopped to maximize storage. “Maximizing carbon storage in the ecosystem would make sense only if society stopped building new homes, acquiring new furniture and consuming in general,” it says. “If the flow of forest products stops, society will turn to other products with higher greenhouse gas footprints, e.g. plastics, metal or concrete. In addition, if harvesting stopped and we continued to suppress natural disturbances, there is increased potential for larger catastrophic disturbances in the future.” If Canada wants to make a bigger contribution to reducing greenhouse gases, forests are a good area to focus on. At 348 million hectares from the B.C. coast to Newfoundland, they represent nine per cent of the world’s forests.

Letters Is a world-leading clean technology facility coming to Hope? Emergent Waste Solutions (EWS,) a British Columbia company, has expressed strong interest in building a groundbreaking Clean Technology facility at Hope, which would employ upwards of 25 people. EWS intends to build an Advanced Thermolysis System (ATS) within the next year to process wood waste and biosolids from the lower-mainland. Company CEO, Kevin Hull, explains that “the ATS uses high temperature in its oxygen deprived reactors to break down waste at the molecular level. It is NOT an incineration system and you will NOT see a plume of smoke coming from it.” According to Hull their thermolysis process creates no toxins as it: destroys pathogens, sequesters heavy metals, eliminates odours and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, Thermolysis manufactures pure carbon, oil and syngas; products that have a value in the market place,

so unlike other waste management solutions the ATS plant will not be an ongoing burden on taxpayers. Also, it should be noted that EWS is a privately funded enterprise and is not going after taxpayer money for the construction of this facility. Additionally, the plant should create upwards of 25 well paying permanent jobs for the Hope area. In Canada we have a long history of burying our waste. We've had the space to do it and the blissful ignorance to think it was harmless. “According to a Conference Board of Canada study published in 2013, Canada fared dismally in terms of the amount of waste we produce. In 2009 (the data year on which the study was based,) Canada produced 777 kg of garbage per citizen. Across all 17 countries studied, the average was only 578 kg produced.” — CBC News Posted: Jan 17, 2013 12:43 p.m. ET. Many communities have studied incin-

eration as an alternative but that has its own set of issues; the ever present “not in my backyard” philosophy has raised its head all across the country. In 2010, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives called incineration “noxious and expensive.” However, this pushback from the people and communities of Canada against landfilling, land-spreading and incineration is exposing a fundamental challenge: what then do we do with out waste? Thermolysis offers a unique alternative solution: waste remediation without pollution and with a significant reduction in Greenhouse Gas Emissions. The high temperature of the thermolysis process destroys pathogens, pharmaceuticals and hormones in the process of converting the waste into marketable products. One point that Hull was adamant about is that the ATS solution does NOT create a “composted bio-solid product,” a practice

that has been deemed unsafe in recent studies. The ATS is an alternative to the creation and spreading of bio-solids, as it is also an alternative to incineration. By reducing the waste stream load on current municipal infrastructure EWS will extend its life and also mitigate that particular cost to the taxpayer. Hull pointed out that the technology is “mature and well proven,” having already operated commercially for over ten years. “EWS is within a month of having the first North American plant up and running in Vegreville Alberta, where crumbed rubber tire will be processed.” Hull has already had a few meetings with community leaders and economic development personnel and has been given a tour of the area. He is “impressed with the people of Hope, their vision for the future and their enterprising attitude.” A public information event is being is planned for the community. Jim Lasser

Summer “event” has business owners concerned of downtown Hope. I am concerned that to allow them to operate as an “event” out of the curling rink is unfair. The couple has previously said that they were looking to rent a retail spot downtown for the summer and that nothing suited their purposes because retail space downtown is too expensive and the landlords want at least a one year lease. The couple has said they do not want to enter into a lease due to the high cost and they want to limit their operation to the few busy months summer months. Suddenly, I hear their operation is a “curling

rink fundraiser” and not a “retail store” I am concerned is just twisting the facts to suit the couple's and the rink's advantage. I am hearing that the “event” is to occur over the entire summer. In looking at the District of Hope's own bylaws, which are presumably to be enforced by the District, even if the Couple/Rink are allowed this “event,” it should occur for less than 30 days of the “other events” maximum allowed under the District's own zoning bylaws. The rink already hosts part of Brigade Days and has a plant sale and possibly other activities. I think to comply with the present zoning and for all fairness sake the “event” should be allowed for fewer than 30 days. In my experience

other communities that allow such “events” are allowed for at most an occasional weekend and typically are open to many antiques/collectibles dealers not just one couple. If this event goes ahead as planned all of our retail businesses will be seriously negatively impacted. It'll probably force some of us out of business. How can we compete with a summer long “event” which will be able to undercut us because the couple operating at the Hope Curling Rink will not have the normal costs to operate a business, given that they are apparently making a donation to the Rink. We local legitimate retail stores including three antiques and collectibles stores (one of which operates across

the street on 6 Avenue from the Rink.) The gift shops, and other stores rely on a profitable summer season to help us get through the winter months when shoppers are much fewer. We legitimate businesses pay lease or mortgage costs, taxes, water, sewer, garbage, hydro, gas, business licenses, insurance, for sign permits, and other business related costs. My outrage at the unfairness grows larger because the huge Curling Rink appears to be on town land, and there is town parking all around it. This land belongs to the people and taxpayers of Hope, us included. Thus, we are being forced into the position of helping to subsidize this “event” and in turn will negatively impact our own businesses.

If this is how the District of Hope is treating small business then that is a very sad state of affairs. When small local business cannot operate, then store fronts sit empty and the town looks derelict. This impacts on property values and our little community suffers as a whole. It looks to me right now that the District of Hope Staff, the Mayor, and the Council are favoring the Curling Club (which is a hobby) and one local couple over the legitimate retail businesses, and the good of the town in general. Re: Anonymous letter I have recently opened a small business in Hope. The reception from local people and businesses has

been fantastic. I hope that I can operate here for many years to come. Even my initial dealings with the District of Hope were very positive, especially with the building inspector and Fire Chief. I am however disappointed that the town would allow a “special event” to directly compete with a number of permanent businesses. It seems contrary to their “business friendly” rhetoric. That said, we are looking forward to meeting everyone, and locals will always get a deal at my store. Thanks to everyone who has already visited me! Mike Riley Atomic Cat Antiques & Vintage

An anonymous letter was distributed around the District and submitted to The Hope Standard. Here is the letter and a response given by a local business owner. It has come to my attention that the Hope Curling Rink is being given a permit to have a fundraising event this summer. They have apparently entered into an agreement with a well-known couple so the couple can have an antiques/show event in the curling rink this summer. The couple has previously operated retail store operations selling antiques and collectIbles in the retail part

interest in drawing, it was at an oil painting workshop where Blythe discovered her aptitude for creating masterpieces with a paintbrush. Her new found passion led Blythe to explore a plethora of painting styles before choosing acrylic as her medium of choice. Enhancing Blythe’s diverse style and subject matter, her paintings feature bold colours and energetic lines with a touch of whimsy. A passionate member of Artists at Work as well as the Agassiz Monday Painters, Coughlin is a multi-talented artist, lending her hand to ceramics, beaded jewellery and currently watercolour paintings. As an Arizona-bound “snowbird,” Coughlin

spends ample time enjoying painting in the sunlight, surrounded by interesting people, scenery, and flora to provide inspiration. Illustrating this influence, Coughlin’s paintings are drenched in colour and depict natural and cultural themes. The Chilliwack Community Arts Council invites one and all to discover a new hue with its upcoming gallery exhibition, Black and White with a Splash of Colour. An artist meet and greet will be held on Friday, May 20 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Chilliwack Community Arts Council – the Art Room (20 – 5725 Vedder Rd.) Guests will have a chance to speak with the artists and learn more about each piece. Black and

White with a Splash of Colour runs until June 23.

Graduating from the real world Anyone who's graduated from college or university understands the relief of leaving behind years of cramming for exams and living on dorm food. With the next chapter of their lives about to begin, this year's grads deserve kudos for successfully negotiating the twists and turns of higher education. Now

the fun begins. Take it from someone who's learned a few lessons the hard way – there are steps you should take now to ensure you start off on sound financial footing. A few tips: Step 1: Budgeting 101. After living on a shoestring budget throughout university, people may be tempted to go to the

other extreme after landing their first full-time job, buying all the things they've done without. Before going on a spending spree, first think about out (A) how much you earn and (B) how much it costs to live. If (B) is larger than (A,) not only will you not get ahead, you may soon find yourself reeling from debt.

Step 2: Figure out what you owe. You can't fix what you don't know is broken. Roughly twothirds of young adults begin their post-graduation job search saddled with student loan debt. According to the 2015 Graduating Survey by the Canadian University Survey Consortium, the average student gradu-

ates with around $27,000 in debt, but it may be much higher. When you factor in living expenses, car payments or transit and other monthly obligations, it's easy to see why some grads feel overwhelmed. Make the decision to pay off your debt.

ment grace period, many private loans don't. Ask your lender whether they'll reduce your loan's interest rate if you agree to automatic monthly payments or after making a certain number of on-time payments. If you anticipate repayment difficulties, contact your lender immediately to discuss your options. You may be able to work out an agreement to defer payments, extend the loan's term or refinance at a lower rate. Step 3: Know the score, credit-wise. Many people don't realize the important role their credit score plays in their financial future until after they've seriously damaged it by making late payments, bouncing checks, opening too many accounts or exceeding their credit limits. This can haunt you later, not only when you try to borrow money for a house or car, but also when you try to rent an apartment or apply for a job, since many landlords and employers check credit records and may reject applicants with poor credit. Find out where you stand by ordering credit reports from one of the major credit bureaus – Equifax (www.equifax.ca) or TransUnion (www.transunion.ca).You can order one free credit report per year from each bureau. Step 4: Finding the perfect job: It's time to roll up your sleeves and put that lifetime of education to work for you. Finding the right job isn't easy- it takes motivation to go after the industry or company you want, effort to ace the application and interview process and a bit of luck to land the job. The School Career Centre: There's a variety of resources out there to ensure a successful search. Reach out to your school career centre, and be on the lookout for recruiters who often come to schools or universities looking for future prospects. Many campuses hold job fairs and career events year round. The Internet: Online job hunting is fairly convenient. Job sites such as LinkedIn, Indeed, Career Builder and Localwork allow you to apply for jobs and/or post your resume for potential employers to come find you. Many employers look to social media when deciding on the perfect candidate, so it's to keep a solid profile.

5th Annual

HARRISON FESTIVAL SOCIETY FUNDRAISER

The new normal Dr. David E Bond Special to The Standard

Community Futures has achieved a major milestone, celebrating 30 years of service to entrepreneurs and communities across B.C. As part of their 30 year celebration, they are publishing The Future of Entrepreneurship Series. Written by business leaders, this series of forward thinking articles will provide insights and opinions in regards to a number of key challenges and opportunities facing entrepreneurs in the future. The worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy has undergone a fundamental change and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to take time for governments, households and nations to adjust to this new normal. To successfully survive these forces of change will require leadership in both the private and public sectors as well as a clear understanding of the situation we face. What is this situation, exactly? It seems highly likely that Canada and most of the developed world will face slow (less than 2 per cent) annual rates of economic growth for at least five years. Slow growth marks a change from what most Canadians have experienced in the past few decades and adjusting to that â&#x20AC;&#x153;new normalâ&#x20AC;? will place strains on the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social, political and economic fabric. But in previous periods of immense national stress we have risen to the challenge and there is no reason believe we will not do so again Robert Gordon, a respected American economist at Northwestern University says in his newly published book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Rise and Fall of American Growthâ&#x20AC;? that this global slowdown is nothing new. While he believes the revolution in high tech and communications has been important, it pales in comparison to the great advances made between 1870 and 1940. These included harnessing electricity, improved urban sanitation, modern chemicals and pharmaceuticals, the internal combustion engine and basic communication such as radio and the telephone. Without innovation of that magnitude, he and many other economists be-

lieve economic growth will be very low for the foreseeable future. A quick review of the global economies confirms this pessimistic view. Europe is in a sorry state. Growth there is negligible, government debt is massive, tax revenues are low and the monetary system is on life support. Japan has been limping for more than three decades and seems unwilling or unable to make the changes necessary to return to growth. China, the economic engine that drove the last major surge of growth, is slowing as it tries to transition its economy to be more centred on domestic consumption rather than exports. At the same time, China is trying to lessen corruption and maintain a one party system. Further compounding its problems is a massive amount of bad debt (estimated to equal 50 per cent of its GDP) which overhangs the market. Until that debt is dealt with and corporate balance sheets show a better match of assets and liabilities, little additional investment will take place. Finally, the force that drove growth in the five decades after World War II, increasing world trade, is slowing. The growth in the last decade has been about half of what it was between 1987 and 2007. Efforts to expand free trade have been fitful. The recently negotiated Trans Pacific Partnership is facing strong headwinds in the United States and may not be ratified. And the World Trade Organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest round of negotiations was officially abandoned last year. Without growing trade there really is nothing pushing global

growth. A rapidly growing economy permits the state to fund growing demands for services such as health care without having to implement policies aimed at increasing efficiency. Growth also can provide room for tax reductions. Under the new normal, sectors such as health care, accustomed to having its financial demands met, will find it difficult to adjust to opposition to increased spending unless there is a simultaneous increase in the efficiency of the entire system. We can look forward to protracted labour disputes in every public sector activity from education to fire protection and policing and this will put a strain on communities. Just as importantly, slow growth, particularly in government revenues, means some government expenditures can only be increased if others shrink - unless, of course, taxes increase. This mathematical certainty will force a rethink of what governments should and should not do and probably lead to tax increases, particularly on higher income earners and on certain types of income such as capital gains and large inheritances. In BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s private sector, the loss of business on the part of suppliers to the resource sector will make for a turbulent and disquieting economic scene characterized by rising unemployment. Labour markets will undergo significant restructuring. Skilled workers, who moved to Alberta because of high paying jobs and who are now laid off, will begin mov-

ing back to where they originally lived and that will put downward pressure on wages in BC. Moreover, potential employers of these displaced workers will be concerned that, if things turn around in the petroleum sector, their employees will once again move back to Alberta. At the same time, these peripatetic workers will not be consuming much since their income will undoubtedly fall well short of previous levels in the petroleum sector while personal debt has not decreased nearly as much. The recent run-up of housing prices is not sustainable. The prices of existing housing will stop rising and in some centres (Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto and others) fall sharply, along with the income of realtors and the tax take associated with any purchase. We can also expect a decline in housing construction and, therefore, the demand for everything that goes into a new house (appliances, heating systems, plumbing and wiring etc.) and this too could lead to increased unemployment. All of this means an unsettled environment for anybody considering starting or expanding a business since, in a slowgrowth economy, new business ventures will face rising hurdles to entering the market place. For one thing, slow growth means slow (or non-existent) increases in consumersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; income. Given historically high levels of indebtedness, households will be seeking to reduce their debt and will therefore cut back on consumption. Not only will mar-

Featuring

kets for both products and services be shrinking or just not growing, obtaining financing for start-ups will become more and more difficult. That, in turn, implies a raising of the bar as to what projects can and should be supported. Although the overall picture is not optimistic, it does not mean that a well-financed new venture with a solid business plan and a good product or service in a focused market will not succeed. Seasoned and determined new entrepreneurs will still come forward and many will succeed - but it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be easy. These successful entrepreneurs will have to have vision, drive and smarts to succeed. Watch for Dr. Bondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second article Characteristics of Entrepreneurs I have known.

Obesity in pets on the rise Erin Knutson Hope Standard

Pet obesity is on the rise and there are many contributing factors to the modern day occurrence according to Hope veterinarian Dr. Laura Madsen of Coquihalla Veterinary Services. Overfeeding and decreased exercise are the biggest contributors to the epidemic. “Basically, it's calories in versus calories expended — it's very common, as people have a lifestyle where they live indoors, and pets are only going for one or two walks a day,” said Madsen. “Dogs and cats used to live on farms, so they would traditionally exercise all day long and have different tasks (in the case of the dogs) like guarding, or herding that would keep them fit.” Certain types of breeds were originally developed to do a specific job, but they're increasingly turning into house dogs and getting away from those tasks, all of which contribute to expanding waistlines, mobility issues, and yes, even shortening of life spans. As for indoor cats — they often don't get much exercise at all, unless the owner takes care to ensure that certain rigs are in place to allow the animal to chase and hunt within the home and in a solitary environment, when no one else is around. “We're seeing a high trend in cat diabetes — we would really like to see people building a cat run outside with things for them to climb up on and chase,” said Madsen. Mobility is everything in preventative medicine

and Madsen suggests getting a second cat, so they can chase each other around the house for some good wholesome exercise. “It's really hard for the indoor cats, and it seems the trend right now for both cats and dogs is feeding them less than the recommended amount listed on the bag.” According to Madsen, modern grain free diets are promoting higher protein and a denser product. Animals are then being fed the same amount they would need if they were extremely active, promoting weight gain and problems like flatulence and indigestion. By decreasing the recommended amount on the bag, the animal is getting the required nutrition for the energy being expended. There are major side effects to pet obesity including diabetes, arthritis, and decreased longevity. “Instead of having an animal that's mobile, people have an animal that's having trouble moving around, so that animal has to get put down because they can't walk well enough to go to the bathroom because

they're too fat, and they can't pull themselves up,” Madsen told The Hope Standard. It's normal for an animal to have a little arthritis, but depending on how much the animal weighs, it will affect how that animal can function. “Sometimes ear dribbling is related to having a lot of fat around the tissue. Skin conditions are related to not being able to self clean properly because of folds and rolls that get in the way, preventing animals from reaching certain areas.” There are some interesting ways concerned pet owners can get their animal to lose weight, including using computer programs. A pet's proportions can be put into a calculation that figures out based on the breed and size, how many calories are needed per day to reach their ideal weight. Owners can also make sure that food being fed to their pet is filling enough, which will prevent hunger cries after feeding. A couple of diets formulated for weight loss are recommended by Madsen. One is Royal Canin Satiety Support, which helps animals feel full so they don’t

beg as much. Another is Hill’s Prescription Diet Metabolic, which is formulated to change gene expression to increase metabolism. Each of these diets also has the online program mentioned above. “Ideally we check the pet’s weight once a month to assess their progress and re-calculate their daily food requirement — often, if people cut back on their regular food the pet feels hungry, and can be deprived of nutrients.” Making sure the animal has plenty of water is also beneficial to promoting weight loss, because it increases the feeling of fullness, along with watching high caloric treats that often get sneaked into a pet's diet (like a piece of cheese.) “Statistics show that a fat dog will typically live a year shorter than a normal dog, and if you count how many years a dog will typically live, it's pretty significant,” said Madsen. The best way to keep pets in a healthy weight category is to weigh them frequently. “It's hard to tell if they've gained weight when you're seeing them every day — it's also hard to tell when they have long fur, so it's important to keep up with the check ups once a year. People are welcome to come and use the scales whenever they want.” Prevention is the best strategy to maintain pet health according to Madsen. “Keeping the situation in check and taking care of problems early will prevent them from escalating. It's all about promoting a healthy lifestyle

On Thursday May 5, 2016 the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment’s (UFVRD) officer in charge held her annual “Recognizing Excellence” awards ceremony to honour exceptional performances and service to the community. From officers risking personal safety to apprehending a violent suspect or, performing water rescues, to civilians coming to the aid of others in times of distress and the charity of a business owner giving back to the community, the venue was bursting with heroes. “You should all be very proud of your achievements and for this afternoon’s recognitions,” said Superintendent Deanne Burleigh, Officer in Charge of the UFVRD. “To your friends, family and co-workers, thank you for your continued support. Without you, these ordinary people could not do the extraordinary things they have done”. Over eighty awards were presented to offi-

One of the highlights of the ceremony was the presentation to the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment (UFVRD) Crime Reduction Unit Drug Section for their ac-

complishments over the past year. In 2015 the Chilliwack Drug Unit executed 65 search warrants as part of the team’s investigation of Controlled Drug and Substance Act (CDSA) and Criminal Code offences in the Detachment area. In one investigation the team targeted the street level distribution of heroin. Officers executed a number of CDSA search warrants

during their investigation as they gathered evidence which led to arrests and 45 charges against alleged drug dealers. Through their dedicated work the team was responsible for preventing illegal drugs and firearms from reaching the streets of the community as part of the RCMP’s commitment to ensuring the safety of the citizens in the Upper Fraser Valley.

Distracted driving fines, points increase Tom Fletcher Black Press

A first offence for checking your phone while driving will cost B.C. drivers $543 when new penalties take effect June 1. The fine for distracted driving goes up from $167 to $368, and drivers will also be assessed four penalty points, triggering another $175 charge. The combination results in a total penalty of $888 for a second offence within a year of the first. Public Safety Minister Mike Morris said the new penalties put B.C. near the top of distracted driving fines for Canadian provinces. Two tickets in a year will also trigger an automatic review by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles that could result in licence suspension.

Public Safety Minister Mike Morris uses a driving simulator to show the effect of texting and driving.

Public consultation over the past year found support for a tougher approach. "A lot of the input that we had indicated even higher penalties than that," Morris said. Transportation Minister Todd Stone said the public awareness campaigns have not con-

vinced enough people of the dangers of trying to use mobile phones or other devices without hands-free services. "Imagine trying to drive the length of a football field while you're blindfolded," Stone said. Central Saanich Police Chief Les Sylven,

president of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, reminded drivers that being at a stop light or stuck in a traffic jam does not mean the distracted driving penalties don't apply. NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth said the government didn't need to take a year to increase one of the lowest distracted driving penalty systems in the country, and giving the superintendent discretion over multiple repeat offenders doesn't send a clear enough message. "Frankly, I think that if you get more than three in the course of the year, there should be no 'may' about it, you will lose your licence," Farnworth said. Distracted and inattentive driving was a factor in the deaths of 66 people and injuries to 630 in B.C. in 2014.

BARRY STEWART/HOPE STANDARD

Australian visitor, John Wetemans puts a shadowy blessing on his ball before attempting a long putt on the ninth hole, Monday afternoon. Wetemans and his four Aussie partners had the Hope golf course all to themselves, despite excellent conditions.

Aussies had their hands full at the Hope golf course Hope Standard

The Australian Open took place at the Hope golf course on Monday afternoon — and there was no one there to witness it. In fact, the course was wide-open for the five Australian visitors who took one loop around the links before heading home to the State of Victoria on Tuesday. While the wives were relaxing at the Skagit Motel, three men and two sons enjoyed a round in the sun, with a few hairy marmots popping their heads out of their burrows to check out the action. The group had rented two vehicles and spent three weeks touring the B.C. and Alberta Rockies before stopping in Hope for their last night in Canada. PGA greats, Greg “The Shark” Norman and Adam Scott might be from Australia — but Monday’s visitors admitted to being very casual golfers.

“I’m the only one who didn’t lose a ball,” said Ian Rhode, grinning. With the rising waters of the Fraser causing the seventh-hole water hazard to swell, the Aussies had their hands full. “Hole number seven wasn’t good for us,” said Rhode, the others nodding wistfully in agreement. It’s not all about the game, though. The sun was out, a warm breeze was blowing and Hope’s scenery was polished up to its springtime finest. “For us to play a round of golf, with a view of snow-capped mountains… it was incredible,” said John Wetemans, a farmer in Victoria. “Good green fees, too,” added Steve Nimmo, who finished his round with a par on the ninth hole. “Some places we played were over $100 for a round (of 18 holes).” For a total of just over $100, three adults and two juniors could play a round of nine holes at Hope on a weekday; $140 for 18 holes. Course operator and clubhouse chef, Kerry

Krahn said Wednesday, “Weekends are obviously busier but the weekdays can be random… some are busy and others are not.” Great rates, conditions and scenery and an easy trip out of town are drawing golfers from Chilliwack and other parts of the Fraser Valley, he added. Spring run-off often brings excess water to the lower end of the course but so far, said Krahn, “The Fraser isn’t high enough to cause flooding.” If you’re looking to get back into the game, take up a new sport, or join a new social circle, the club offers a few options. “Monday mornings, the ladies play nine holes,” said Krahn. “It’s more for beginners — and lunch is available afterwards. On Tuesday mornings, they play 18, followed by lunch. “The men had their first official night on Wednesday last week and we had 28 golfers out,” he added. A barbecue social follows the golf, with ‘cards night’ sitting as an option if

there’s a rain-out. Tee offs run between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. Men’s Night planner, Peter Adamo has laid out a healthy list of challenges for the season, including “horse races,” hidden holes, “Iron Man,” 2-ball and visits from other clubs. Krahn said the club has no junior club this year — but they continue to offer junior memberships for students aged 18 or younger. For $179, a junior member gets basically unlimited access to the course, said Krahn. From personal observation over the years, this is a fantastic deal, especially for teens during the summer holidays. They can stay gainfully occupied, while learning a life-long sport and linking up with veteran players who help fill in the finer points of the game. If you’re worried about not having clubs, just speak up. You’d be amazed how many spares there are out there, waiting to be passed on for free or for a few dollars.
