Th e Coquihalla Highway cele-brates an important milestone this weekend.

Twenty-eight years ago, the highway was opened to provide drivers with a faster route into the Interior from Hope.

In 1984, construction of the fi rst phase of the Coquihalla High-way began and was completed in 20 months, in time for Expo 86. A project of this scale had never been done before in such a short

time in North America. During the construction of the fi rst phase of the Coquihalla Highway, which linked Hope to Merritt, over fi ve million cubic metres of rock was blasted. Th is section was the lon-gest stretch at 137 kilometres. To fi nish on time, over 10,000 people were needed to fi ll all of the jobs. Th e second phase, from Merritt to Kamloops, opened in September 1987 and the third phase, running from Merritt to Peachland, was completed in 1990. Th e total cost of all three phases of the Coqui-

halla was $955 million.“It’s an important piece of infra-

structure,” said RiIey Forman, who is in charge of tourism services for AdvantageHOPE. “It changed British Columbia in how we look at transportation and trade. Hope was the gateway to that massive change. We have fi ve junctions here and fi ve major spokes leading from Hope. In 1986 another spoke was added and I believe that it’s defi nitely a part of our experience.”

To celebrate this milestone week-end, staff at the Hope Visitor Cen-

tre will be wearing original hard-hats and old souvenir buttons thatwere given out the day the highwayopened. Jamie Davis and the High-way Th ru Hell crew will also be onlocation at the Hope Visitor Centreon Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.signing autographs, taking pictureswith fans, and participating in afundraiser for Hope Search andRescue.

In addition, Saturday marks theopening day of the Hope Museumfor the 2014 season.

Government of British Columbia and Xplornet Partner to Bring Affordable High-Speed to Remote B.C. Residents.

Xplornet Communications Inc. is pleased to announce a partnership with the government of British Columbia to help bridge the urban/rural digital divide in rural and remote British Columbia.

The initiative is a multi-year program to make Internet connectivity more affordable in rural and remote areas where installation costs can be high.

The program will provide a subsidy of up to $250, or half of the cost of an installation of broadband equipment to new residential and business customers within Xplornet’s industry leading 4G rural broadband satellite footprint. This will significantly reduce the costs of installation, costs that may have been a barrier to the adoption of high-speed Internet.

“The government of British Columbia deserves significant praise for a program that helps break down one of the last barriers to full connectivity in the province – namely the high cost of broadband installation in remote parts of BC. Now, even the most remote British Columbians can affordably benefit from the transformative power of high-speed Internet to connect them to the global economy,” said Xplornet President Allison Lenehan.

Xplornet is the country’s leading rural broadband Internet provider and takes pride in connecting over 200,000 Canadians to the world. The commitment to offering every Canadian reliable, affordable and fast Internet is shared by an ever-expanding network of over 450 local dealers, including 60 in British Columbia alone.

For more information about Xplornet high-speed Internet and how you may benefit from the British Columbia Broadband Satellite Initiative, visit xplornet.com or call 855-494-1079. For complete details on the British Columbia Broadband Initiative please visit www.gov.bc.ca/bcbroadbandsatellite.

Staff have spent hundreds of hours cleaning up the space and digitalizing the library of museum contents.

“We hope to rotate more and more historical stories as they become more relevant in time here in Hope,” said Forman.

“As we work through the summer months and work-ing into the 2015 season, we’ll be completely re-shifting the way we accept donations to the museum, display the historical artifacts of the community and most importantly the way we inspire and tell the story of our history in a way that encour-ages people to hit the streets. Once they’ve come through the museum and they’ve learned something about some of these historical moments, we really want them to go out and expe-rience them.”

Clara Hughes comes to Hope Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Olympian Clara Hughes is stopping in Hope on Monday as part of her Big Ride tour across Canada for Bell Let’s Talk.

Organized by Hope Mental Health and a lo-cal planning committee, Riding the Road to Hope and Beyond celebrates the accomplishments and talents of people with lived experience of men-tal health and others who support Clara’s Big Ride.

“It’s a celebration of re-silience and strength, and an opportunity for the community to connect and build acceptance,” said Amanda Jackson, a local mental health case manager. “Clara is all about bringing heart to diff erent communities, connecting communi-ties and showing that

whatever your disability is or the hardships you’ve been through, you can fi nd passion and strength whether it’s in football, music, or arts and cel-ebrate that and reach out to other people.”

Hope is the only small community that Hughes

will be visiting on her tour in B.C. aft er stopping in Victoria and Vancouver. Th e six-time Olympic cycling and speed skat-ing medalist began Clara’s Big Ride in March, which spans over 12,000 kilome-tres and concludes in Ot-tawa on Canada Day. Th e

goal is to raise awarenessabout mental health andhelp end the stigma sur-rounding mental illness.

Telus is investing $3.5 million in Hope this year to increase available In-ternet speeds in some neighbourhoods, expand coverage of wireless ser-vices including 4G LTE, extend the reach of Optik TV, and connect more homes and businesses to high-speed Internet.

“Th e demand for wireless and wired com-munications service is booming in Hope, and this signifi cant $3.5 mil-lion investment means residents and businesses right here will have ac-cess to faster Internet and more wireless coverage,” said Jordon West, Telus director of customer so-lutions delivery in the Fraser Valley. “With the explosive growth in smartphone use there is heightened need for world-class services in Hope and across our province, and we will continue to meet the ever-increasing wishes of consumers by grow-

ing and developing these services.”

Th is year, Telus’ invest-ment will enhance ser-vices by installing new wireless sites to expand the reach of LTE and en-hance wireless capacity, introducing Optik TV to more local residences, bringing faster Internet speeds to residents and businesses, updating older infrastructure and technology to enhance network reliability, and providing access to in-novative healthcare IT solutions.

Th is investment is part of Telus’ commitment to invest $2.8 billion in B.C. from 2014 through 2016. Since 2000, Telus has also paid income, payroll, property, sales and other taxes totalling more than $3.2 billion to provincial and municipal govern-ments in B.C., helping to support services in communities across the province.

As members of every

community they serve, Telus, their team mem-bers and retirees give where they live, support-ing grassroots commu-nity organizations across the province.

“Our philosophy, We Give Where We Live, is exemplifi ed by our Telus family of team members and retirees donating more than $100 million,” said West, “and, impor-

tantly, volunteering more than 1.6 million volun-teer hours to community and charitable organiza-tions in the Lower Main-land and Hope since 2000.”

Aft er months of renovations, a new business in the Fra-ser Canyon is ready for a busy tourist season.

Th e Mighty Fraser Motel and Fat Jack’s Diner north of Boston Bar celebrated its grand opening over the week-end. Situated on about three acres overlooking the Fraser River, owner Todd Baiden has transformed the property into a destination location.

“Th e location here is unique onto itself. I could see the op-portunity, but it had been so run down,” said Baiden, who has a background as a chef in Vancouver. He ran a success-ful underground restaurant for fi ve years before pursuing the Fraser Canyon business op-portunity.

Th e motel off ers 14 stan-dard rooms, seven two bed-room units with kitchenettes, six two bedroom apartments, two bachelor apartments, and a three bedroom house that sleeps seven.

Th e re-modeled air-condi-tioned rooms feature brand new beds, linens and towels, a fridge, microwave, compli-mentary coff ee and tea, and cable. Th ere’s also Wi-Fi avail-able, laundry facilities on site, a fi re pit overlooking the river, and space for event rentals.

“We defi nitely modernized them as much as possible and carried a mixed-wood aesthet-ic/theme throughout that ties in with the restaurant, pub and

my own personal tastes,” said Baiden, adding that the pub will re-open later this year.

“It’s embracing the area by highlighting what’s here – na-ture and animals. I would like to see this build into a destina-tion where people are coming to the area both for the nature and an elevated dining experi-ence in the Canyon in a mod-ern setting.”

Fat Jack’s Diner is open daily 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and serves all-

day breakfast, lunch and din-ner. Th e menu boasts a wide variety of dishes, everything from appetizers, soups, and salads to sandwiches, burgers, steak, chicken, ribs and spa-ghetti with handmade noodles. Fat Jack’s has daily specials, espresso, homemade pies and desserts. Th e restaurant also has a liquor licence, take-out menu and catering options available.

“We pride ourselves on

handmade everything, with one exception being bread. Nothing comes from a pack-age,” said Baiden, pointing out that the vegetable garden and fruit trees on site help supply the restaurant.

“You can get great meals on both end of your sleep and en-joy the tranquility of the Fraser Canyon.”

Todd Baiden has brought years of culinary experience to Boston Bar with the opening of Fat Jack’s Diner at The Mighty Fraser Motel. The property, which has undergone major renovations, celebrated its grand opening last weekend.

Some people made a New Year’s resolution to quite smoking. It’s May now and if you are still having g problems quitting, what follows might be a motivator. If you stop smoking today…..

In 24 hours: Your circulation

improves and the carbon

monoxide in your blood

declines. Your heart rate drops.

In 48 hours: Your senses of

taste and smell improve. (And

you and your clothes smell

better as well!)

Within 1 week: Your breathing gets easier; your skin tone and pallor improve and your sinuses become clearer.

Within 1 month: Oxygen is delivered to your lungs more ef ciently. This makes exercising easier; your smoker’s cough decreases; your energy levels rise and you start sleeping better.

Within 1 year: Your risk of developing illnesses like pneumonia, u, colds, peptic ulcers, coronary heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis is lowered.

Within 5 years: Your risk of lung, mouth and esophageal cancer is signi cantly lower and your risk of heart attack continues to decline.

Within 10 years: Your heart attack risk is nearly the same as a person who has never smoked and within 15 years your lung cancer risk has dropped to that of a non smoker as well.

Makes you think doesn’t it? For information on products available to help you quit smoking, talk to our pharmacists.

Polak says province won’t bend to MMBC holdouts

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Several agricultural businesses are vowing to defy Multi Material BC and refuse to pay into the new package recycling system.

Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Bucker-fi eld’s chain of farm supply stores, said his fi rm and other mainly garden suppliers will try to develop their own stewardship program to collect and recycle their packaging in compli-ance with provincial government regulation.

He said he’s aban-doned hope the govern-ment might freeze the MMBC system, set to take eff ect May 19, and added a court challenge is one option if setting up a separate program proves unworkable.

Several letters sent by fi rms including Eddi’s Wholesale Garden Sup-plies, Cinnabar Valley Farms and Cobs Breads

have gone to govern-ment serving notice they won’t comply.

McCulloch maintains MMBC is an illegiti-mate, unaccountable “monopoly” that busi-nesses have been “co-erced” by the province to join because there’s no real alternative.

Higher fees than are charged by a similar package-and-paper re-cycling scheme in On-tario is a key complaint.

But Environment Minister Mary Polak said misinformation about the program is rampant in the business community and much of it is coming from McCulloch.

“He refuses to listen to the information pro-vided him,” she said, adding Buckerfi eld’s is likely largely exempt from MMBC fees be-cause most of its prod-ucts go to farms, not consumers.

Likewise, she said, many other businesses

wrongly believe their fees will be much high-er than is the case, due to either low fl at fees or exemptions for all but the largest generators of packaging.

Th e decision to make companies whose pack-aging enters the waste stream responsible for the costs of handling it was a national agree-ment with other envi-ronment ministers, she said.

Th ose who want to go their own way can still pursue an alterna-tive stewardship sys-tem, Polak said, adding breweries are advanc-ing their own system and talks are also un-derway with the news-paper industry.

Polak said MMBC can’t be subject to pro-vincial audits – as Mc-Culloch has demanded – because it is not an arm of government, but is regulated and accountable as a non-profi t.

She said organiza-tions representing dairy farms, landscaping and nursery fi rms, as well as the B.C. Agriculture Council, are now part of an MMBC advisory council.

As for demands for a freeze on the program,

Polak said that’s notpossible.

“We are way too fardown the road to bepausing it,” she said.

Doing so would stopthe rollout of curbsideblue box pickup tosmaller communitiesthat haven’t had it be-fore, throw into chaoscollection arrange-ments in cities whereMMBC is set to takeover and block the fl owof MMBC paymentsto most municipalitiesthat will continue ascontractors under thenew system, she said.

“If suddenly you toldthe Capital RegionalDistrict they’re goingto have to fi nd $4.8million, I don’t thinkanyone would fi nd thatvery acceptable.”

Asked if businessesthat don’t pay intoMMBC will soon faceprovincially imposedfi nes, Polak said en-forcement may vary ac-cording to how muchwaste is generated.

“Tim Horton’s is partof the program,” shesaid. “If they hadn’tsigned on maybe there’sa more serious discus-sion about penaltiesthan if you’re dealingwith a medium-sizedfl ower grower or some-thing like that.”

Intervenors pepper pipeline firm with questions


Th e provincial gov-ernment has fi led 70 questions for Kinder Morgan about its pro-posed Trans Mountain oil pipeline twinning and that request for information is slender compared to others.

Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver has lodged his own submis-sion that poses nearly 500 questions to the company.

Th e City of Burnaby, another intervenor de-manding answers as part of the National En-ergy Board review, has fi led a 300-page request containing 1,500 ques-tions.

Topping Burnaby’s list is a demand to know what alternative terminal sites Kinder Morgan could use in-stead of greatly expand-ing the petroleum tank farm at the Westridge Marine Terminal on Burrard Inlet.

Asked if that means pushing for a diff er-ent terminal in Surrey or Delta, with tankers instead entering the Fraser River, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan pointed to the U.S., noting Kinder Morgan already has a spur pipe-line running to refi ner-ies in Washington State.

“We want to know if they considered plac-es like Cherry Point that are already well-equipped to move oil,” Corrigan said.

He said that site just across the U.S. bor-der would shorten the amount of pipeline re-quired and eliminate project impacts in Met-ro Vancouver.

“I know there is al-ready a holding tank

farm in Sumas. Th at type of location is far easier to accommodate expansion than the top of Burnaby Mountain.”

As for whether Burn-aby’s list of questions is excessive, Corrigan noted Kinder Morgan’s project application is 15,000 pages long.

“One question for ev-ery 10 pages is probably reasonable.”

Th e province’s ques-tions target land and marine oil spill re-sponse, prevention and recovery systems.

“We are asking the company to provide more detail than is con-tained in their applica-tion so that we can con-tinue our analysis of the extent to which they will deliver the world-class systems that we require,” Environment Minister Mary Polak said.

She promised a “very thorough” defence of B.C. interests and its fi ve conditions for new heavy oil pipelines. Th ose conditions in-

clude “world-leading” spill safeguards as well as resolution of aborig-inal issues and a “fair share” share of eco-nomic benefi ts for the province.

Unlike the NEB’s marathon hearings into Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline across north-ern B.C. to Kitimat, the revised federal process no longer allows oral cross-examination of witnesses.

Polak said the prov-ince had to shift its strategy to using de-tailed information re-quests as result.

Th e $5.4-billion proj-ect would nearly triple Kinder Morgan’s pipe-line capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and greatly increase the number of tankers passing through Van-couver harbour.

Weaver, the Green MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, said he has many unanswered questions on the sci-ence Kinder Morgan

has relied on in the event a tanker ruptures and releases diluted bi-tumen.

He said the project application relied on tank experiments done on land in Alberta that didn’t refl ect real ocean conditions, and ignored new federal fi ndings that dilbit may sink when exposed to water carrying suspended silt – conditions common on the B.C. coast.

“Th e bottom line is they simply have no idea what would hap-pen if dilbit were to spill in the ocean,” Weaver said. “Not at all. It’s just wild speculation.”

He said B.C. Greens are pushing for a sixth provincial condition that rules out tanker transport of dilbit.

A pledge of world-class spill response for dilbit is meaningless, Weaver said, because the situation is unique to B.C.

Kinder Morgan is to fi le responses by June 13.

Farmland holy war falls flat

Th e NDP’s holy war against changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve got nastier last week, as it became clear it was defenders of the status quo who were being mowed down.

Ever since legislation was tabled to divide the ALR into two zones, with greater emphasis on social and economic needs to help vi-ability of farms in the Kootenay, Interior and North regions, almost all the protest has been from un-aff ected areas. And much of it de-pends on emotion rather than fact.

In the legislature, Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog rose to praise the late Dave Stupich, who birthed the ALR sacred cow as agriculture

minister in 1973. Krog likened Stupich to the Biblical Daniel for his bravery in preserving farmland for our children’s children.

Cowichan Valley MLA Bill Routley did his signature “jiggery pokery” routine, this time accus-ing cabinet minister Bill Bennett of being “giddy” at the prospect of paying off his friends with devel-opment land. Before he gets too jiggery outside the protection of the legislative chamber, he would be well advised to fi nd some evi-dence.

Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson, who at least represents an area be-ing given broader latitude for sec-ondary uses on farmland, warned of drought in California. Th e his-tory of this is currently a hot topic in the quasi-religious climate change debate.

Meanwhile in the real British Columbia, life and farming go on under the existing farmland pro-

tection regime.Th e largest ALR exclusion in

B.C. history took a big step for-ward last week, as a federal-pro-vincial review panel issued its re-port on the Site C dam proposed for the Peace River.

Th e panel noted that the dam would fl ood 2,775 hectares of farmland, representing all seven categories of soil quality. Oppo-nents use a fi gure about twice that size, as if all the aff ected land was farmable.

Th e panel accepted that this land, including the small amount of micro-climate bottom land, represents 0.2% of the Peace re-gion’s farm receipts. I would add that’s because what is farmed at all is mostly growing hay, which requires minimum capital and la-bour.

“It has potential, to be sure, but its unique and irreplaceable contribution would be for those

labour-intensive crops like veg-etables, which are not remotely practical in a labour-short region,” the report states.

We have to bring in Mexican guest workers to get vegetable and fruit crops off in the Fraser Valley and Okanagan. For a fi ve-month growing season in the bush out-side Fort St. John? Th is is a clas-sic example of the religious fervor that replaces reason among the southern faithful of the ALR.

And how is the status quo work-ing? Summerland council just voted to swap 80 hectares of fl at farmland for 90 hectares further away in the Summerland Hills. Th e town is on restricted lakeshore terrain and the council wants to increase its urban zone, using the community need provisions that are enhanced by the current legis-lative amendments.

Th is was aft er a loud demonstra-tion organized with the help of a

fake grassroots protest machinecalled LeadNow, complete withslick signs and website. (LeadNowalso helped round up anti-pipelineprotesters this past weekend.)

Th e media were fooled as usu-al, but not Summerland council.LeadNow has moved on to liningup people to fl ood the Agricul-tural Land Commission with formletters and petitions against Sum-merland’s plan.

Th e B.C. Agriculture Council,whose board fi rst supported andthen objected to the ALR amend-ments, has clarifi ed its objections.It wants fl exibility for secondaryuses extended to the prime farm-land zones of the Okanagan, Fras-er Valley and southern VancouverIsland.

OpinionPublished at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

Freedom selectively guaranteedJustin Trudeau promised, aft er being selected federal Liberal lead-

er in 2013, that there would be open and democratic contests for Liberal nominations all across Canada. Th is was in contrast to previ-ous Liberal leaders, notably Jean Chretien, who decided to appoint candidates in numerous ridings, rather than let local Liberal mem-bers actually select the candidate they wished to represent them.

It all sounded good. But when the rubber met the road, and can-didates were actually being selected, the true facts about how candi-dates were chosen started to emerge.

In one Toronto riding, where a byelection has just been called, Trudeau barred the wife of the former MP in that riding from run-ning — in that riding, and in any other. No reasons, other than the fact that Trudeau had a “star” candidate in mind, seemed apparent.

Last week, Trudeau announced that no one who opposed abortion would be allowed to seek a Liberal nomination across the country. Th is despite the fact that several current Liberal MPs are pro-life (they were grandfathered), and several former pro-life members had considered seeking nominations.

Trudeau declared that the matter of abortion is “settled,” despite the fact that there has been no abortion law since 1988 and an at-tempt to pass a new law, based on a Supreme Court decision, died on a tie vote in the Senate in 1990. It’s “settled,” in that politicians won’t consider a new law. But the public aren’t quite as one-sided on the issue.

Th e Liberal Party supports abortion, and has endorsed it at a re-cent policy convention. However, personal beliefs about abortion are oft en based on religious faith, and Trudeau in eff ect has said that people with that faith position are incomplete, and inadequate as candidates.

It is another troubling attack on freedom – and it’s coming from the son of the prime minister who brought in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which explicitly guarantees Canadians freedom of religion. Trudeau the Younger has shown that freedom is only selec-tively guaranteed by his party.

Th ere have been many articles and comments lately dealing with Trinity Western University, its planned law school, and its covenant. Many of these articles have framed the issue as one of freedom of religion and as-sociation. It is clearly that, but it is also expressly about freedom against discrimination. Th e crux of the debate is about what hap-pens when freedom of religion hits headlong against freedom of expression, and the right not to be subject to discrimination for some part of oneself that is cen-tral to one’s identity. Th is is the dichotomy.

TWU’s covenant forbids one from engaging in sexual relations outside theirs (TWU’s) own defi -nition of marriage. Homosexual sex between married spouses, or sex within a heterosexual or ho-mosexual common-law union is prohibited, and grounds for expulsion from its planned law school, or any other of its existing faculties. Th e TWU defi nition of marriage is narrower than the current legal defi nition of mar-

riage. A student can be legally married yet still be in a position where sex with one’s spouse violates the covenant, and risks expulsion. Many proponents of TWU’s covenant state that they, as a community, can hold any beliefs that they want. While this is true, their conduct must be consistent with the law. Th e issue here is not one group’s religious beliefs, but rather the conduct of an institution. How will the planned law school deal with a homosexual law student who has sexual relations with his or her lawful spouse, and how will they deal with a law student who has sex with his or her common-law partner? It is the conduct of the university and the application of the covenant to certain groups in our society that needs to be examined. If any law school at-tempted to restrict admission due to race, or had the power to expel a student on the basis of race, it is submitted that such discrimina-tion would not be tolerated in a free and democratic society. Yet it seems tolerable to expel a student

based on that student having sexual relations with a spouse of the same gender. Evidently pro-ponents of the covenant suggest that such discrimination should be permissible in the name of re-ligious freedom.

Th ose in favour of a law school point to the 2001 TWU v. B.C. College of Teachers case as au-thority for the proposition that their covenant should be appli-cable to their planned law school. Th e holding in that case seems to give tacit approval to TWU’s future plans. Th e question now is whether the law as it was stated in 2001 still applies today.

Th e evolution of gay rights has progressed rapidly in the past 13 years. Th e legal defi nition of spouse in this province has ex-panded over that time. Th e legal defi nition of marriage has ex-panded over the same period of time. Same-sex marriage was not legal at the time of the above 2001 Supreme Court decision, it now is. Parliament has since spoken on that issue. Th is leaves open the very serious question as to

whether TWU’s covenant would receive the same treatment today by the Supreme Court of Canada, as it did 13 years ago.

Rights evolve and change over time, leaving open the question of whether it is appropriate to discriminate against one group in the name of religious freedom, or any other freedom. TWU has the right to have these views. Th e question is how far can those views go when the institution’s application of those views aff ects the rights of others, and prevents others from being members of their community of higher learn-ing, when those individuals may be otherwise qualifi ed to be such members. Law societies of the various provinces seek not to regulate personal or institutional beliefs, but will and must regu-late conduct. Ultimately it looks like the highest court in the land will be called upon to take a stand when these fundamental rights collide. Th ere is, and must be, a fundamental distinction between belief and conduct.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Should the Hope secondary trades program be a funding priority for the

school district?

Here’s how you responded: Yes 70% No 30%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

Th e Vagabond Film Show on May 1 was so successful we may have to do two nights next year.

Th e red carpet event proved to be one of Hope’s more unique and pop-ular events with a sold out show and even a waiting list for any available tickets. Th e live music which kicked off the show was amazing and show-cased some of Hopes amazing musi-cal talent.

Following the live music we jumped straight into the fi lm contest and with 13 entries it made picking a winner a diffi cult task. Sam Burnett won fi rst place with his video “Hair-less for Haiyan” and Johnny Beach

came in second with “Iceland Ring Road.”

Th is year’s Vagabond Film Show was dedicated to the ever smiling long-time resident and employee of Manning Park, Wayne Mckay. Th e 50/50 dance-off event raised $305 to help Wayne Mckay’s family get through this rough time. Seeing the unbelievable support for this event has been amazing.

Will Baerg, Justin Brown and my-self want to thank everybody for helping and attending the show and hope to see you next year. Nothing is over.

Diluted bitumen too dangerous at seaLetters

In a letter to this paper Greg String-ham, on behalf of the Canadian Associa-tion of Petroleum Producers, makes as-sertions about the behavior of diluted bitumen (dilbit) in salt water that are at best half-truths. He states that dilbit fl oats on salt water and that it is no more dan-gerous at sea than other types of oil. Th at is wrong. It is more dangerous at sea, and infi nitely more so than refi ned fuels like diesel and gasoline. What String-ham doesn’t mention is that the same report from Environment Canada that he quotes from, goes on to say that dil-bit sinks in seawater when there is sedi-ment present. Another study by a top

U.S. environmental chemist, Jeff Short, says the same thing. It was fi led by the Gitxaala Nation to the National Energy Board in March 2013, so Stringham is well aware of it. Th at study says animal and plant matter like plankton, as well as sediment, cause the dilbit to sink.

Our entire coast has sediment and plankton in abundance. All our rivers are glacial and full of silt. Plankton is omni-present, which is why the whales are here, and shallow seas like Hecate Strait throw up huge amounts of sediment from the bottom in storms. Dilbit will sink in our waters if there is a spill and it will harden up like caulking material

on beaches and the intertidal zone. Th e intertidal zone includes large mud fl ats in the midcoast because the tidal range is more than 20 feet there. How would we ever get them clean again? String-ham also says our Canadian oil indus-try is interested in the Kitimat refi nery idea. Th at is news to me. I have talked to all the companies and there is no interest whatsoever. Th at is why I am spearhead-ing the project. It will keep dilbit out of tankers and provide an enormous value-add for B.C.

Canada’s oil industry needs a west coast pipeline. Coastal First Nations, the Yinka Dene First Nations, Prince Ru-

pert, Kitimat, Terrace, Smithers, the pro-vincial and federal NDP, the federal Lib-erals, the provincial and federal Green Party, many blue collar unions and the majority of folks in B.C. are against Northern Gateway’s idea of putting dil-bit in tankers. A refi nery is economi-cally viable. Why is it so hard for our oil industry to see that the way forward is to build a green refi nery which will cut greenhouse gases by 50 per cent, create thousands of jobs, generate billions of new annual taxes, and gain acceptance for a safe pipeline?

Re: Th roness ‘re-spectfully’ agrees to disagree (May 1)

So let me get this straight. Th e B.C. gov-ernment has said that “anyone in B.C. wishing to change the gender designation as it ap-pears on their birth cer-tifi cate would no longer have to prove they had gender reassignment surgery fi rst.”

Health minister Terry Lake goes on to respond with, “We’re talking about a birth

certifi cate in which the gender can be amended to agree with the social construct or the way in which the person who owns that information would like to be identi-fi ed.”

I could try to write something eloquent, but I will just be blunt. Th at is absolute insan-ity.

Basically, they have written a law that will allow a man to decide he wants to be called a woman, get his birth

certifi cate changed, and he will then have the ability to walk into a ladies change room. If anyone complains he just has to say,“I iden-tify as a woman.”

He doesn’t have to have gender surgery, doesn’t have to look like a woman. He can even be attracted to women. How are our B.C. MLAs so confused that they can pass a law like this? How did we get to this point?

Fraser Health cuts surgeries to make budget


Fraser Health has curtailed sur-geries in order to avoid an operat-ing room budget overrun despite the fact surgical wait times at its hospitals are already signifi cantly longer than for patients in the neighbouring Vancouver Coastal region.

Dr. Peter Blair, director of the surgical program for Fraser Health, said the reduction of surgeries since January and February was “only by a few per cent” and not the 20 per cent cut a White Rock orthopedic surgeon claimed last week.

Dr. Arno Smit, chief of surgery at Peace Arch Hospital, told Black Press a waiting list crisis is coming unless the health authority reverses the cuts and authorizes more use of mothballed operating rooms.

Blair said he’s hopeful Fraser Health will soon be granted a bud-get increase allowing more surger-ies, but said the curtailed surgical pace is continuing for now.

It’s not a budget cut, he said, but a reduction in actual surgeries per-formed to bring OR spending back down to budgeted levels.

“We realized we were spending money faster than we could,” Blair said of the overspending in the fi rst two months of the year. “We did need to make a signifi cant reduc-tion.”

Th e department has since fi n-ished the fi scal year at the end of March within its budget. Asked if averting a defi cit has driven up wait times, Blair said he hasn’t yet seen any clear evidence of that yet.

But surgical wait time data re-ported by the provincial govern-ment shows patients at most hos-pitals in Fraser Health are already waiting considerably longer than those near Vancouver or most oth-er parts of B.C.

Th e two benchmarks the prov-ince uses to gauge surgical waits is how long it takes to complete 50 per cent of cases and 90 per cent of

cases in each hospital, specialty or region.

For the fi rst three months of 2014 until March 31, Fraser Health com-pleted half its surgeries within 6.4 weeks – the other half of patients waited longer than that – compared to 5.1 weeks at Vancouver Coastal and 6.0 weeks for the B.C. average.

Ninety per cent of surgeries per-formed in those months at Fraser Health waited less than 31.3 weeks (10 per cent waited longer), com-pared to 23 weeks for Vancouver Coastal and 28.3 weeks for the pro-vincial average.

Th at indicates patients in Fraser Health waited 25 to 35 per cent lon-ger than in Vancouver Coastal in January to March, even though two of those three months saw Fraser Health’s ORs running over-budget before being curtailed.

“All of us have to be concerned about that,” Blair said of the wait time disparity.

He cited population growth as the main challenge making it diffi -cult to meet wait time targets.

“We’re the fastest growing health authority in British Columbia – 1,200 people a month are moving into Surrey alone,” Blair said. “We’ve got the highest birth rate and a high rate of people moving in as retirees into places like White Rock.”

He noted surgical waits vary by

hospital, by specialty and by indi-vidual doctor.

Th e Lower Mainland hospitalswith the worst surgical waits in thefi rst three months of the year wereBurnaby Hospital at 47.7 weeks toreach the 90 per cent completionmark, Abbotsford Regional at 39.2weeks, 36.9 weeks for Langley Me-morial, 36.7 weeks for B.C. Chil-dren’s, 35.7 weeks for Peace Archand 35 weeks for Surrey Memorial.

As of March 31, Fraser Healthhospitals had 20,233 patients await-ing surgeries, compared to 17,389at Vancouver Coastal. A report re-leased in February by B.C.’s auditorgeneral showed Fraser Health hasthe lowest per capita funding peryear in B.C. at $1,585 (in 2011-12)– in comparison with VancouverCoastal Health, which received$3,008 per capita. Vancouver IslandHealth received $2,554, NorthernHealth received $2,465 and InteriorHealth received $2,372.

Blair said the action to rein insurgeries was a decision of the re-gion’s surgeons, who met to reviewthe threatened defi cit. He said itwas not related to a fi scal reviewinto Fraser Health ordered late lastyear by Health Minister Terry Laketo unravel why the health regionhas struggled to stay within its bud-get allocations.

Roller derby at Hope Arena Chilliwack’s NWO

Roller Girls Wolfpack took on the Okanagan Shuswap Roller Derby Association’s (OSRDA) All Stars on Saturday at Hope Arena in a bout named Hell’s Skate.

Th e bout started off with great blocking from both teams as the score was tight up to the half. It proved to be a very physical game and the two teams lived up to the namesake of the bout.

Th e jammers on both teams had trouble get-ting through the walls of blockers in order to score points. Th ere were some great skills shown from both teams, and to note one particular dif-fi cult maneuver named “jumping the apex” suc-cessfully completed by NWO’s Pavel Fury. Th is maneuver consists of a player jumping from in-bound on one side of the arc on the curve of the track, over the out of play area and landing back

inbounds on the track. It was a very physical and tough bout for both teams, where blocking on defence proved to be the style of the match. In the end NWO Wolfpack fell to the OSRDA All Stars with a fi nal score of 147-116.

NWO invites the pub-lic to check out the next double-header bout

dubbed “Little Dead Riding Hood” on Sat-urday, May 24 at the Landing Sports Centre in Chilliwack, starting at 4 p.m. Th e junior team, the NWO Honey Bad-gers, which has mem-bers from Hope, take on the Seattle Derby Brats fi rst at 5 p.m. Th en the NWO Outsiders take on the Doomsday Bunnies

AND SAVE!

More than 2,000 people throughout the Valley take partRelay for Life scheduled for June 14

Jason RoessleBlack Press

The signature event for the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and the largest cancer fundraiser in Canada is com-ing up in mid-June.

The Relay for Life is a 12-hour team event – 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. – in which people of all ages come together in a family-friendly and non-competitive atmosphere.

Participants celebrate can-cer survivors, remember loved ones lost, and continue the fight against all cancers by taking turns walking laps around local tracks for 12

hours.According to Gwen Clyne,

the CCS team leader for the Fraser Valley, the event raises an average of $600,000 a year in this region, and organizers are hoping for the same or better result on June 14.

About 2,000 Fraser Valley residents take part in the re-lay annually.

“We just encourage the people to join the fight. Join the Relay for Life and help with raising money for can-cer research,” she said.

The first lap of the relay is the survivors’ victory lap, and cancer survivors lead the

group around the track.“That opening lap is very

emotional,” said Clyne. “There are lots of [cancer] survivors and care workers coming together to honour those afflicted.”

A luminary ceremony, held at twilight, will also be featured. Luminaries are special candles that honour cancer survivors and remem-ber loved ones who have lost their fight. After being lit, the luminaries line the track.

All teams are asked to raise at least $100, but the major-ity bring in at least $300 each, said Clyne. Teams range from

10 to 15 people and the event is open to those of all ages and fitness levels.

And while all the teams are asked to have least one per-son on the track each of the 12 hours, it is understood that some people have com-mitments and must step away for a while.

The relay also serves an additional purpose, next to raising money, said Clyne.

“You learn that you’re not alone” in your fight against cancer.

Lactating mothers are urged to consider donating some of their milk to help others who aren’t able to breastfeed their own babies.

Fraser Health has opened 10 new human milk donation depots at public health units in Hope, Agassiz, Mission, Langley, Cloverdale, Guild-ford, North Surrey, New Westminster, Port Moody and Burnaby, in addition to existing ones in Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge.

Women who have been screened can collect breast milk at home, freeze it and donate it at those locations.

It’s transported to the provincial milk bank at BC Women’s Hospital where it’s pooled, processed and pas-teurized.

Most of the donated milk goes to feed premature and sick babies in neonatal inten-sive care units (NICUs) who are at high risk of illness and infection.

“We are asking all breast-feeding moms to consider giving the gift of health to our most fragile patients by do-nating their breastmilk,” said Fraser Health project devel-opment nurse Sidney Harper.

A devastating bowel dis-ease called necrotizing en-terocolitis is much more

common in premature babies that are fed formula instead of human breast milk.

Mothers in some cases struggle to provide milk or aren’t permitted to as a result of illness or medications they use.

Fraser Health plans to open dispensaries at Royal Colum-

bian and Surrey Memorial hospitals to store and provide the donor human milk.

Frances Jones, coordinator of the provincial milk bank at B.C. Women’s, said the aim is to meet all requests for donor milk from the NICUs at Sur-rey and Royal Columbian.

The World Health Organi-

zation recommends babies get only breast milk until they’re six months old and that they continue to be breast fed with other nutritious foods added until at least two years.

For more information on how to donate see bcwom-ensmilkbank.ca.

Th e Hope Mustangs girls have put a ton of time into improving their soccer skills and knowledge this year — and it shows.

Th e senior girls fi nished their league play in late April and have since gone to two two-day tourna-ments in the Interior, all with en-couraging results.

“Last year, we didn’t win a sin-gle game,” said second-year head coach, Jeremy Smith, on Tuesday. “We scored one goal in league play and one at the Merritt tourna-ment, where we fi nished dead last.

“Th is year, we won one at home against Abby Christian and won one on the road at Rick Hansen.”

Th ose wins gave Hope a sixth-place fi nish in the eight-team league, ahead of the teams they beat.

“We scored seven goals in the league this year and Kelsey Striker, Ionela Garrett and Hannah Sauvé were our top scorers,” said Smith, who teaches at the school.

Two weekends ago, the girls traveled to Merritt for a 12-team tournament.

“Th is year, we had three wins, two of them in shoot-out tie-breakers,” said Smith. “Our total of goals would probably be near 10. We also lost one in a shoot-out… then we lost 4-0 or 4-1 to Ashcroft , to fi nish in second place.

“At the Osoyoos tournament last weekend, we started off against Ashcroft , which made for a tough start,” said Smith. “Each game af-ter that, we got better and we won our last one.

“We had a blast, though,” he added. “We had a photo shoot down by the lake and the girls got a plan together and threw me into the lake! I overheard their plan, so I put away my wallet and cell phone ahead of time.

“We took the picture and Kelsey charged me and I grabbed her and we both fell in. About 10 girls end-ed up in the water.”

While the senior team was winding down, an opportunity was off ered by Chilliwack schools for Hope to enter a Grade 8-9 team in the middle school league. Smith hadn’t intended to run a junior team this year but over half of the juniors had played for the seniors, so he kept the game alive.

While the senior Mustangs were blessed with plenty of subs, the ju-

niors only have 14 on the roster, which has meant a very short — or nonexistent — bench in their fi rst three games.

Monday at home, the girls start-ed with no subs and played much of the last half with only 10 play-ers, due to injury. Rosedale was held to 0-0 at the half but they opened things up with their skill and numerous spares, for a 5-0 win.

Th e result was similar at Slesse on Tuesday.

“We defi nitely need more con-ditioning next year,” said coach Smith. “Th e girls are getting tired.

“Th e other thing with the junior teams is there’s no streaming into higher or lower leagues, so we’re getting stuck with playing against some pretty strong players.”

Both the senior and junior teams have an unusual look in their goal-tending roles, with Smith encour-aging his keepers to roam far out of their nets. You’ll regularly see senior keeper Erica McAllister and junior Abbie Striker far out of the penalty area, looking to knock away stray passes.

“Th at’s my style,” explained Smith. “I played goalie that way when I started soccer, from age 10

to 15. It works well in this league because there are a lot of kick-and-run plays.”

Eventually, the opponent car-ries the ball in, to try and beat the keeper one-on-one. When out of the penalty area, the keepers can’t uses their hands, so it’s a challenge to get to the ball fi rst or get in the way and “jockey” the attacker un-til help arrives.

It doesn’t always work.“I tell the keepers not to sweat

it when somebody does score on them, because they’re shutting down so may more chances by be-ing out there, playing aggressive-

ly,” Smith explained.Th e girls have held three fun-

draisers this year, to help covertheir expenses and Smith antici-pates a surplus of around $1,000,which he hopes to put toward thepurchase of new aluminum goals,to replace the old steel goals thatare very hard to move. Havingmobile goals would make it easi-er to change fi eld sizes and moveplayers away from worn-out areas.

Smith said he plans to work withBruce Becker of Hope Minor Soc-cer to run a fundraiser during thesummer to secure the extra fundsneeded for the new goals.

Senior girls finish season with weekend tournaments

Demee Runquist of the Hope Mustangs Grade 8-9 team heads the ball in the home game against Chilliwack Middle School, last Thursday. CMS prevailed for a 4-0 win. Thesenior Mustangs closed out their season with two two-day tournaments in the B.C. Interior, most notably placing second out of 12 teams at Merritt.
