Stephen Yeung is officially the new president of the Hope & Dis-trict Chamber of Commerce.

He was voted in by acclama-tion during this month’s Cham-ber AGM after serving as interim president for seven months.

“It’s a chance to serve the com-munity,” said Yeung, who is also owner/operator of McDonald’s Restaurant in Hope.

“Part of my mission is to put the Chamber back on the map so that

the Chamber will restore to its proper function.”

Yeung pointed out that the Chamber has made good progress this year despite some in-stability on the board. The Chamber was in-volved in several initia-tives including Kid Fest, the Hunter Creek Kiosk Project, business semi-nars, and the election all-candidate meetings.

Moving forward, he hopes the Chamber will build a stronger

connection with the business community.

“We want to ensure that the voice of the Chamber represents Hope and the Fraser Canyon,” said Yeung, adding that Chamber will speak up for busi-ness and relay concerns to local governments.

“One of our focuses is also looking to facilitate economic business op-

portunities in the area. We have the connections now so it will

help to capture business opportu-nities.”

The Chamber is working ongetting office space next year aswell as bringing back the Busi-ness Excellence Awards, Idea Ex-change, and a golf tournament.

There are currently about 85-90Chamber members.

The board directors are LloydForman (vice-president), GlenOgren, Hiro Takeda, DonnaKropp, Michael Kropp, MillyMarshall, Hondo Stroyan, RyanMohle, Stu Hartmann, and IsaiahRobinson.

“It’s in you to give” is the great motto of Canadian Blood Services (CBS). From one blood donation, red blood cells can be extracted for use in blood loss and surgery; plasma, the liquid part of the blood can be given to those with clotting problems; and platelets can be used for cancer and transplant patients. One unit of blood can help many. Make it a goal of 2015 to give blood regularly.

At this the time of year, some people make resolutions to change your life for the better. Why not make a resolution to make someone else’s life better,

too? If you are aware of people who are lonely or depressed, try reaching out to them. Bring them home for dinner or visit them in their own home. It will help them and make you feel good too.

Speaking of resolutions, here are 7 goals for a healthy life: sleep 7-8 hours per night; eat breakfast every day; don’t smoke; use alcohol moderately (or not at all); don’t eat between meals; maintain proper weight; and exercise regularly. Perhaps you can include these gems in your resolutions as well.

And here’s an idea for losing weight: Canadians consume an average of 26 teaspoonful of sugar per day. If you cut that amount in half, you’ll lose 16 pounds in one year. Combine this with exercise, you’ll lose even more.

We would also like to extend our thanks for the pleasant relationships we have built with our customers during 2014. We wish everyone good health, prosperity and happiness in the coming year. And thank you for reading Capsule Comments!

Memory bench offers lasting legacyKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

A Hope resident has created a memory bench to honour his family and friends who have passed away.

The bench started as a tribute to his sister, Daryl Sullivan, who died in June 2013. Gardner initially built a memorial overlooking Kawkawa Lake with benches, flowers, and cedar trees. However, after it was vandalized twice and thrown into the lake, he decided to do something different.

Al Fletcher supplied Gardner with two 12-foot planks of wood to construct a memory bench. He carved his sister’s name into the wood using a dremel tool, stained it, and finished it off with a coat of varnish.

Gardner has since continued adding names as a way to remember his family and friends. There’s currently about 30 names carved into the bench. Over the winter, he plans on adding another half dozen people who passed away this year.

The bench sits in front of Gardner’s house on Maple Street from spring to fall. Gardner said people come by on a regu-lar basis to look at the bench and he’s even received a few phone calls from others thanking him for his efforts.

In employment counsel-ling we are focused on help-ing folks find work. Another part of our job looks at em-ployment maintenance. It’s one thing finding a job, it’s another keeping it.

So why do so many employ-ers land up firing employees within three months of hir-ing them? We, at the Hope WorkBC Centre, speak to lo-cal employers who tell us how frustrated they are because of poor work habits and behav-iour by their staff.

It’s true that recruitment can be hit and miss at times. Studies have shown that re-cruitment can run at about a 50 per cent success rate, which means employers could just toss a coin to find the right

employee rather than spend-ing time trying to hire people. That being said, em-ployees come with a wide range of assets but also deficits. So how do you get to be the kind of employee that an employer wants to keep?

In 2007 we con-ducted a study of hundreds of employ-ers and hundreds of folk looking for work in Hope and Agassiz. We asked both groups what they thought employers val-ued most when hiring and to what degree. Both employers and job seekers said that atti-tude was the most important factor. However, what job

seekers didn’t realize was the degree to which attitude was

important to em-ployers.

Most employers told us that they rat-ed attitude ten times higher than skills.

“I can always train people,” said one employer. “I can’t teach them attitude.”

We heard this sen-timent again and again.

So maintaining a great attitude is important in keeping your job. Employees that put in extra time, offer to do jobs no one else wants to do and never complain are the top workers employers are looking for. Conversely,

people who have endless problems, complain about the company or boss and enter into conflicts with colleagues are the first to go.

An employer was telling me recently that she was sur-prised how many new work-ers want to tell her when they will be available for shifts de-spite the fact the shift avail-ability question was asked in the interview.

So show up on time, keep a smile on your face and be the first to volunteer. It’s not always easy in every environ-ment but it is the difference to keeping your job.

Climate talks end 2014 in disarray

In case you missed the outcome of the latest United Nations climate change conference in Lima, Peru, it was another costly, embarrassing failure.

Th is one is likely to be remem-bered mostly for a staggeringly stupid stunt by Greenpeace em-ployees, who were threatened with prosecution for defacing the Nazca Lines, a world heritage site in the Peruvian desert.

Th ese vast 1,500-year-old petro-glyphs, visible from space, are among the great mysteries of ar-chaeology. “Time for a change!” blared huge yellow letters dragged across the sacred site by paid pro-testers trampling the delicate ter-

rain. I’ll say it’s time for a change, starting with scratching Green-peace off your Christmas card list.

Earlier there was the spectacle of Canada’s national media, refl exive-ly denouncing Ottawa’s supposed inaction on greenhouse gases aft er U.S. President Barack Obama un-veiled a surprise climate agreement with China in advance of Peru.

“Over to you, Mr. Prime Minis-ter,” chirped CBC anchor Wendy Mesley, joining other TV networks in falsely portraying the U.S. deal as a breakthrough.

Th is non-binding gesture soon produced many cartoons, one of which shows Obama stripped to his underwear in a poker game with Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is surrounded by a pile of chips and an American fl ag.

Th e U.S.-China announcement served as a preview of Peru, where developing countries would again refuse any substantive restrictions

on their fuel use. China graciously agreed to continue ramping up its world-leading greenhouse gas emissions until 2030, while lame-duck Obama pretended he could commit the U.S. to further reduc-tions.

Between them, the U.S. and China account for about half of global human-caused carbon emis-sions. Due mostly to the surge from China and India, Canada’s share has fallen from two per cent to 1.5, which should help put all those “tar sands” protests into perspective.

Days later, Environment Canada released its latest national emission statistics, an event ignored by most media.

“Between 2005 and 2012, to-tal Canadian GHG emissions de-creased by 5.1 per cent, while the economy grew by 10.6 per cent over the same period,” the report states.

B.C. Environment Minister

Mary Polak joined the throngs who jetted to Lima. Th ere she met offi -cials from California and other U.S. states to re-announce their modest eff orts to put a price on carbon emissions. TV anchors and other wide-eyed innocents might have been left with the mistaken impres-sion that the huge U.S. petroleum industry is cutting back, when in fact it has grown enormously thanks to shale oil and gas produc-tion.

And California continues to pro-duce, by its own state government measure, the most carbon-inten-sive heavy crude in North America.

Overshadowing all of this is the drop in the world price of oil, mainly the result of Saudi Arabia fl ooding the market in an eff ort to push competitors out of busi-ness. In the latest sign of the U.S. public’s lack of interest in reducing emissions, sales of larger vehicles immediately spiked up as gasoline

prices fell.I’m still receiving criticism for a

recent column in which I declaredmyself an “agnostic” on human-caused global warming. Agnosticmeans searcher, and my search hascontinued for real signs of climatechange and its potential causes.

Our glaciers are receding, noquestion, but the current trendstarted around the 1850s, when asport utility vehicle had one horse-power in leather harness and B.C.was about to be declared a Britishcolony.

But amid the noise, there is se-rious evidence being put forwardthat our province is undergoinga climate shift with major conse-quences. And there are calls for ac-tion.

I’ll discuss that next week.Tom Fletcher is legislature report-

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

Warrantless search not reasonable

Th e Supreme Court of Canada has recently ruled, in a split vote, that police don’t need a search warrant to look at the contents of an arrest suspect’s cell phone.

Offi cers have to meet several conditions fi rst, including taking detailed notes on how they searched and what they found. Police in the U.S. need a warrant to conduct such a search, and rightly so. Th is is a major issue of privacy.

Historically, police have had the right, during an arrest, to search a per-son’s purse or carry bag for evidence related to a suspected crime, or for weapons.

A cell phone could be a weapon, as seen with the Boston Marathon bombings. And one could contain information compromising public safety, or be used to evade law enforcement.

But should cell phones, or any mobile digital device be an exception to those historical rules? According to the Supreme Court decision, prompt access to a cell phone could help locate an accomplice to a crime or pre-serve evidence that would be otherwise lost.

A review of recent calls or text messages may help locate the other per-petrators, preventing further crimes. Only recent e-mails, texts, photos and the call log will be available, according to the majority judges.

Th e minority, however, felt that cell phones are diff erent than carry bags and should be treated diff erently. Th ey are computers, and search warrants are required to check those in homes. Cell phones contain vast amounts of personal information, which is why they have password ac-cess.

Section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms provides everyone in Canada with protection against unreasonable search and sei-zure. Th e Canadian Civil Liberties Association is correct in this case, that because the capacity to discover private information on a cell phone is so much greater than if being frisked, a warrantless search is unreasonable.

Mayor Susan Johnston and Coun. Gerry Dyble helped employees from Nestlé Waters hand out 3,000 cases of donated bottled water on July 20 to residents affected by a precaution-ary boil water advisory. The advisory was issued to residents and businesses on the town site water supply system after water quality monitoring showed a positive reading with bacteria count. Subsequent tests came back clean, but the district was still instructed by Fraser Health to conduct a low-level sanitization treatment to ensure the water was safe.

2014 Year in Review

Th e blaze was discov-ered by a member of the community who saw smoke billowing from the roof of the fi re hall. An attempt to re-move the fi re truck from inside was thwarted by the heavy smoke. When police arrived on scene, the roof was fully en-gulfed in fl ames. Fire offi cials on scene attrib-uted the cause of the fi re to electrical wiring in the raft ers of the build-ing. Th ere was no one injured in the blaze, but the total estimated dam-age is about $300,000.

A 48-year-old Hope man is arrested in con-nection to theft s from parked vehicles. Hope

RCMP received a com-plaint of a man allegedly breaking windows in the 900 block of Water Ave. Upon arrival, offi cers saw the man but he quickly faded from view. Police secured a perimeter and successfully contained the area with assistance from Fraser Valley Traf-fi c Services. A search of the area led to the man being found hiding un-der a vehicle. He was arrested for theft under $5,000 and mischief un-der $5,000. Th e man was later released from po-lice custody with a court date in February 2015.

Emergency person-nel are called to Laidlaw aft er suspicious barrels are discovered at the east

end of Hunter Creek Road. When Hope Fire Department and Hope RCMP arrived on scene, they found 12 - 45 gal-lon drums, as well as two kegs, lying on the road-way. A small amount of liquid seeping from one of the containers ap-peared to be corrosive, so police called in a haz-ardous waste contractor.

Highway 1 eastbound, between Hunter Creek and exit 165 in Hope, is shut down for hours when rocks, mud and water spill onto the road-way. Th e large volume of water running down the mountain is attributed to heavy rainfall. Luckily no vehicles were caught in the slide. Traffi c was

diverted along Highway9 through Agassiz andonto Highway 7 towardsHope.

Stuff the Cruiser inHope raises 750 kilo-grams (1,653.47 pounds)of food as well as $380.80in cash donations and$30.64 in gift cards forthe food bank. RCMPmembers in Boston Barcollected 435 kilograms(959 pounds) of foodand $1,914.05 in cash.

Art Green of Hope isacclaimed as Green Par-ty of Canada candidatefor the new federal rid-ing of Mission/Matsqui/Fraser Canyon. In addi-tion to a climate actionplan, Green’s main ob-jectives in the upcomingelection will be electoralreform and a nationalmental health strategy.

Morrison,whose late husband wasa member of the RotaryClub, has maintainedan ongoing supportiverelationship with theclub by supporting itseff orts including host-ing a summer picnic ather Kawkawa Lake frontproperty.

Hope Fire Department responded to a truck fire in 700 blockof Coquihalla Street at about 2 a.m. on Nov. 6. The Dodgepickup was fully engulfed in flames when crews arrived onscene, but was quickly extinguished. Hope RCMP believe thefire is suspicious and is actively investigating it as an arson.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was in Yale on Dec. 16 after the body of 51-year-old Zenia Moorehouse was found outside her home in the 31200 block of Front Street. Moorehouse’s family called Hope RCMP to check on her well-being after they were unable to contact her at home. When officers arrived on scene, they discovered her body and quickly determined she was the victim of a homicide. There have been no arrests made in connection to this investigation and IHIT is searching for a motive.

FRASER VALLEY REGIONAL DISTRICTNOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

NOTICE is hereby given that, pursuant to Section 892 of the Local Government Act, the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) will conduct a Public Hearing with respect to FVRD Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 1281, 2014 [hereinafter referred to as Bylaw 1281] and FVRD Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 1282, 2014 [hereinafter referred to as Bylaw 1282].

The Public Hearing will be held Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at 7:00pm at the Hope & District Rec Centre, 1005 6th Avenue, Hope.

The purpose of Bylaw 1282 is to amend the Official Community Plan designation of a portion of the property from Limited Use to Rural, and the purpose of Bylaw 1281 is to amend the Zoning Bylaw to introduce a new Commercial Camping Resort zone which would apply to the entire subject property, in order to facilitate a campground and cabin development.

The public hearing is to be held by a delegate of the FVRD Board. Copies of the Board resolution making the delegation and copies of Bylaws 1281 and 1282 are available for public inspection until Jan 6, 2015 at the FVRD office: 45950 Cheam Avenue in Chilliwack (8:30am to 4:30pm Monday - Friday). For further information, please contact the Planning Department at 604-702-5000, toll free 1-800-528-0061, or by email at [email protected].

Information is available at: http://www.fvrd.bc.ca/InsidetheFVRD/DevelopmentApprovals/Pag-es/Bylaws-1281--12.aspx

At this public hearing, all persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaws will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the Bylaws which are the subject of the hearing.

Written submission may also be submitted to FVRD in advance of the hearing, but must be received no later than 4:00 pm January 6, 2015. Written comments received prior to the public hearing will be added to the public hearing record.

An informal public information meeting to be facilitated by FVRD staff regarding the Bylaw will be held at 7:00pm immediately preceding the Public Hearing.

Dated this 8th day of December 2014 Paul Gipps, Chief Administrative Officer
