Staff at C.E. Barry was happy to learn the board has given unanimous approval to seismic upgrades at their school.

Th e school board voted Tuesday in support of keeping C.E. Barry inter-mediate school open, and applying for funding to have seismic upgrade work completed. Th e school is on a high priority list for seismic upgrades. However, low enrolment in the dis-trict meant there is an option to close the school and move the students to diff erent locations. Trustee Pat Fur-ness brought the issue to the board,

following a special meeting held last week to discuss the school’s future.

“Emotions were evident,” she said, from both parents and school staff , adding that it was a very collabora-tive meeting involving many diff erent groups. Furness said she came away with the feeling of overwhelming support of C.E. Barry.

“We should keep that school,” she said. “Hope likes the concept of a middle school.”

Th e school, which currently has 156 students in Grades 5-7, is also used by various community groups, including the Hope BC Team Fit, which uses the school for training sessions for the Vancouver Sun Run.

Th e school is also used two nights a week for community badminton, and starting next year, pickle ball. A con-sultant brought in to study the issue suggested students be shuffl ed to Co-quihalla elementary.

Th ere is money available to the Fraser Cascade school district for the needed seismic upgrades, said trea-surer Natalie Lowe-Zucchet.

“If there were a seismic event,” she said, “the school wouldn’t handle it.”

She said the support of the board is important in presenting their plan for the school to the province.

Trustee Tom Hendrickson said the support for C.E. Barry is enough to keep it open, and that Hope is a grow-

ing community. “I see Hope growing in the next

25 years and we have to think yearsahead,” he said.

Principal Karl Koslowsky attendedthe meeting and thanked the boardfor their support.

At school the next day, he was ableto share the good news.

“Th e mood was wonderful, excit-ed,” he said. “Th ey were very pleasedto hear that it was a unanimous vote,and felt supported in the motion forCE Barry School to remain as an edu-cational partner in the Hope commu-nity.”

Trustee Linda McMullen was ab-sent.

The most rapidly increasing type of cancer in the developed world is esophageal cancer where tumours affect the tube that takes food to the stomach. This type of cancer is linked to smoking, acid re ux and obesity. Since smoking rates are dropping every year, the increasing rate of obesity is one of the main risk factors.

The laws governing the restriction of certain drugs to prescription-only are designed to protect the public. It wasn’t always so. Back in the early years of the 20th century, people could buy products like Coca Wine and Heroin which

contained the drugs cocaine and heroine, which made addicts out of many people. Even morphine products were freely available. Drug laws protect us well today.

As pharmacists, we are always con dent of the quality of the medications in the pharmacy. They are accurately labeled with the name and amount of every active ingredient. Street drugs are another matter. Contents are not guaranteed and may even contain other drug products. One dose of a bad drug can change a life forever. The best and safest rule is don’t take it.

We all miss doses of our

Cascadia Wind Ensemble performs in Hope

Th e RCMP and a Hope Search and Rescue team helped locate two miss-ing people and a young boy last Friday aft er their quad broke down in the Skagit Valley.

Team members were deployed at about 2 p.m. on ATVs and located the group 15 kilometres on a logging road from Silver Lake.

Kent Harrison SAR assisted in bringing them down the mountain to the command post.

Later that day at about 7:50 p.m., Hope SAR was called out by the RCMP for a fatality on High-way 3 at Marker 21 km. Th e collision involved two semi-trailers and a car. Th e team arrived on scene to assist with

removing the casualty from the car and loading the person into an ambu-lance.

While driving back to Hope at 8:30 p.m., the Hope SAR team was

called to another vehicle accident on Highway 5 to rescue a trapped person.

• Hope Search and Rescue also responded to a single vehicle ac-cident on Highway 1 on

the Henderson Bridge, west of Boston Bar on Tuesday at 6:15 p.m. Th e driver was safely re-moved from the vehicle before the team returned to base.

Th e Cascadia Wind Ensemble will bring An Old Fashioned Christmas to Hope on Sunday.

Th e group has fl ourished un-der conductor and music direc-tor Shannon Goldsmith over the last couple years. Th rough her ef-forts the ensemble took root, pro-viding an outlet for 25 musicians with a passion for good wind music. Members come from all over the Fraser Valley and several play in symphony orchestras.

A wind symphony orchestra is also known as a wind band, sym-phonic band, concert band, and wind ensemble or wind orches-tra. Musical groups that mainly use wind instruments and per-cussion are known as wind sym-phony orchestras. Th ere aren’t any string sections as there are in classic orchestras, but there’s little

diff erence between orchestra music and wind symphony or-chestra music. Th e concept of the modern wind ensemble was born when Frederick Fennell created the Eastman Wind Ensemble in 1952. Fennell’s new instrumenta-tion used the instruments gener-ally found in symphonic or con-cert bands, but reduced the size of certain sections to feature one player on each part. Th is allowed players who oft en got buried in large sections in the concert band to rise to the challenges of play-ing as soloists in an ensemble context. Fennell also encour-aged contemporary compos-ers to write for this new instru-mentation, which was similar to an expanded orchestral winds/percussion section but included characteristic color instruments

from the concert band, such as saxophones and euphonium. At that time, few original band pieces existed, and band concerts usually included numerous tran-scriptions from orchestral rep-ertoire, with notable exceptions from Sousa and other marches composers. Fennell began pro-gramming works for groups of any size that followed the one-on-a-part guideline, such as Mo-zart Serenades for wind octet and works for brass groups by Gabri-eli. Th is allowed wind ensemble members to perform music from all eras of written wind music, including the small but excellent repertoire for military and sym-phonic bands by composers such as Holst and Vaughan Williams.

Th e wind ensemble concept has found a home in many com-

munity organizations through-out the world and was joined by the Cascadia Wind Ensemble in the Fraser Valley. Despite the rel-ative youth of the wind ensemble in comparison to other musical media, numerous contemporary composers have responded to the idea of writing for this collection.

Th e Cascadia Wind Ensemble follows this tradition of perform-ing great works for bands and wind groups of all sizes from all eras, including wind works, marches, military and sym-phonic band pieces, show music and compositions written for the modern wind ensemble.

Th e group will perform a vari-ety of Christmas carols at the rec centre conference room on Nov. 24, starting at 1 p.m.

Tickets are $15.

Chilliwack Chiefs launch major fundraiser for Philippines relief

Chilliwack Chiefs players and executives are encouraging their fans to join them in supporting the eff orts of the humanitarian coalition in delivering desperately needed aid to the victims of Ty-phoon Haiyan which has left thousands dead and hundreds of thou-sands homeless in the Philippine Islands.

Under a banner of “Chiefs to the Rescue,” the BCHL team players will man telephones in a four-hour telethon on

Th ursday, Nov. 21 from 3 to 7 p.m. on the club’s home radio station, 89.5 Th e Drive. Drive announcer Bobby Fer-ris will be broadcasting live from the Chiefs’ of-fi ce at Prospera Centre as players take calls and pledges from Chilli-wack residents.

Th e telethon is also being supported by the local Shaw televi-sion channel and net-work as well as by the city’s two newspapers, Th e Progress and Th e Times.

In addition to the telethon, the Chiefs will accept donations at their home game on Nov. 23 – the fi nal day of the fundraising event.

All proceeds (any costs will be covered by the Chiefs and Pros-pera Centre) will be directed through the Humanitarian Coali-tion, a joint eff ort of CARE Canada, Oxfam Canada, Plan Canada and Save the Children Canada.

“When we see a city

larger than Vancouver virtually wiped off the map and hear stories of desperation and pain like we have been wit-nessing on television over the past week – how can we not step up and do something to help?” said Chiefs’ president Glen Ring-dal.

“Just as we care for personal crisis in our own community, we care for victims in far-off lands when tragedy of this magnitude oc-curs. We hope the ef-

forts of our club andour media partnerswill provide caringChilliwack people withan easy and direct wayto show their compas-sion. Simply by click-ing on the websites ofthe Chiefs or any ofour media partners,our supporters willfi nd a link to our groupdonor page - Chiefs tothe Rescue.

Th e B.C. government has announced the fi rst money-saving moves in its “core review” of provincial functions, eliminating Crown agen-cies that buy off sets for government carbon emissions and manage heritage properties in the Victoria area.

Th e functions of the Pacifi c Carbon Trust and the Provincial Capital Commission will contin-ue, but will be run direct-ly by government min-istries, Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced Tuesday.

Bennett, minister in charge of the core review, said winding up the Pacif-ic Carbon Trust is expect-ed to save $5.6 million annually by 2015. Th e CEO and 13 staff are to be off ered other positions in government and Bennett said he does not expect severance to be paid.

Winding up the Pro-vincial Capital Commis-sion is expected to save about $1 million, while maintaining the agency’s cultural and student out-reach programs. Capital region properties includ-ing St. Anne’s Academy, the Crystal Garden and the former CPR steam-ship terminal will con-tinue to be operated by

government, with no immediate plans to sell them.

Post-secondary schools and health authorities will continue to pay mil-lions to off set their fossil fuel use, and the money will go to industrial, for-est and other projects deemed to reduce carbon emissions. Bennett said the government intends to adapt the program as has been done with public school off sets, so hospitals and universities can invest in their own energy-saving eff orts.

Th e Pacifi c Carbon Trust was criticized in a

March 2013 report by for-mer auditor general John Doyle. He said the two largest investments by the trust, a forest preserve in the Kootenays and a fl ar-ing reduction program for EnCana natural gas operations at Fort Nelson, would have happened without subsidies from provincial operations.

Other off set projects funded by the trust in-clude hybrid heating systems for the Westin Whistler Resort and Spa and the Coast Hillcrest resort in Revelstoke, as well as fuel substitution for mills and greenhouse

operations. Th e program has been unpopular since it was established in 2008.

“Who in their right mind considers a school or hospital a polluter?” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Ca-nadian Taxpayers’ Fed-eration. “Taxpayers are spending millions on buying carbon credits for these facilities rather than providing front-line ser-vices.”

Environment Minis-ter Mary Polak said in-ternational experts have certifi ed the trust’s in-vestments as legitimate off sets.

Hope receives grants-in-lieu of property taxes

The B.C. government is pro-viding just over $17,000 in grants-in-lieu of property taxes to Hope.

These funds are part of the nearly $18.2-million in grants going to 63 communities across the province, including nearly $2,650 to Kent.

“This funding is really an investment,” said Chilliwack-

Hope MLA Laurie Throness. “The province recognizes

how important it is to compen-sate municipalities for local ser-vices that benefit government-owned properties.”

Grants-in-lieu are distributed annually and are payable on land owned by the provincial government, including court-houses, provincial government

office buildings, and ambulance stations. Properties eligible for grants-in-lieu of property taxes are determined by the Munici-pal Aid Act.

This year’s compensation rep-resents an increase of $1.3 mil-lion over last year’s payments, funds which help municipal governments and regional dis-tricts provide local services.

‘Core review’ folds carbon trust, capital commission

Penticton MLA Dan Ashton and Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett are heading the B.C. government’s core review of ministries and Crown agencies.

TOM FLETCHER / BLACK PRESS


Two solitudes on B.C. farmland

My late father used to say that if he ever won the lottery, he would “farm until it’s all gone.”

It was 1960 when he and my mother pulled up stakes in the Okanagan, where their families had been for generations, and moved north to carve a homestead out of a half section in the Peace River country.

So it’s a mainly northern per-spective that I bring to the latest debate over B.C.’s agricultural land reserve. A dialogue of the deaf has been going on for decades in B.C., where there are two separate reali-ties in agriculture.

Th e dominant voice is always

from the southwest, from the Okanagan to the Fraser Valley to southern Vancouver Island. Th is is not only B.C.’s most productive land, it’s also the place of greatest population and development pres-sure, where three million of the province’s four million residents live and more arrive every day.

In the rest of the province, ex-cept for pockets that are attrac-tive for recreational development, farming is a tough row to hoe. Th ese days, people are more likely to be moving away.

In our urbanized society, the loudest voices tend to be the least informed, from backyard-chicken hipsters to what I call “drive-by en-vironmentalists,” who like to look out their car windows at green fi elds as they motor from their subdivisions to big-box stores. Th e elderly Sikhs and Mexican guest workers bent over in the fi elds

don’t need their loft y lectures on “food security.”

Voices from the rest of the prov-ince are seldom heard and quickly shouted down, as was the case at the recent Union of B.C. Munici-palities convention in Vancouver.

Merritt councillor Mike Goetz pleaded for relief from an Agri-cultural Land Commission that refuses to release a property that has “grown nothing but rocks and tumbleweeds for the last 100 years.” Similar property next door was released, but not this parcel, blocking a project for fi ve years in a little town that could use the work and additional tax base. Ur-ban sprawl isn’t a big problem in Merritt, which like many small towns is trying to hang onto its population.

Spallumcheen councillor Ed Hanoski described the situation beyond the towns, the real rural

B.C. He proposed easing the re-strictions on building a second home on farm properties.

Currently, farmers can put a mobile home on their property for an elderly or infi rm relative, but nothing with a permanent foun-dation. Once that relative moves or passes away, the home is sup-posed to be removed.

Hanoski said a sewage system for such a residence costs around $12,000. Add the temporary foun-dation, skirting, well hookup, power, landscaping, driveway, and a mobile home that will lose its value if it has to be moved, and the property owner takes a loss of $150,000 or more.

Th at’s why the removal rule is routinely ignored in rural B.C., Hanoski said. Th ese second homes are the only rental stock there is, providing modest income for marginal farms, and should be

allowed permanent foundations.Motion defeated, aft er a scoldingfrom a Sunshine Coast delegateabout people lusting to build man-sions on farmland.

I asked Bill Bennett, the cabi-net minister in charge of the lat-est agricultural land review, abouta rumoured proposal to split theprovince into two zones with dif-ferent rules. He declined to com-ment, but described the case ofFort Steele Farms, the East Koo-tenay community’s only marketgarden that almost closed becausethe next generation was initiallyrefused permission for a secondhome.

Th e two zones approach de-serves serious consideration.

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

Wage cuts neededTh e massive cuts to BC Ferries routes, to take eff ect in April, would

likely be a little bit easier to swallow if the BC Ferries board had done the right thing and cut the exorbitant wages and bonuses given to se-nior management.

As it is, the board instituted a two-year wage freeze and rolled the bonuses into the regular salaries paid to executives. A small portion will be held back, to be earned if performance targets are met.

Th is is such an obvious shell game that even the most naive observer can see through it. Th ese top people will continue to get the same high salaries they get today.

BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan makes $563,000. His counterpart on the similar-sized Washington state ferry system makes $166,000.

BC Ferries is going through a massive exercise to save about $19 million. Th ere is no question there is a need to reduce some services on lightly-travelled routes. And despite the whining by some people, asking seniors aged 65 and over to pay 50 per cent of the passenger fare Mondays through Th ursdays is not a major imposition. Most seniors who live in coastal communities have enough disposable in-come to make the occasional ferry trip, and they will still be getting a substantial discount over every other traveller.

But had the BC Ferries board really grasped the nettle and made some substantial cuts to the wages of its top managers, a signifi cant amount of money would be saved (it would amount to millions) with-out a single sailing being cut.

Th e real challenge that the provincial government faces is rooting out the members of the boards who run its Crown corporations, and in the case of BC Ferries, a private corporation owned 100 per cent by the province.

It needs board members ready to challenge the CEOs and top man-agers they are supposed to be keeping watch on. It needs board mem-bers who do not blindly accept the status quo, and will look out for taxpayers and consumers. Th en the public will be much better served.

Re: Federal government has made lo-cal investments, Letters (Nov. 7)

It’s amazing that Conservative MP Mark Strahl believes the party doctrine like it was actually true, without the spin.

Like the $33-billion spent on infra-structure, less than half of which was actually paid for by the federal govern-ment. Th en there was the $3.3-mil-lion spent on the Kawkawa Lake Road Bridge, they paid for all of that too I sup-pose. Th at’s why we have no property tax problems, the bridge was all paid for by the Conservatives.

Th en there’s the Cedar Creek Bridge. Th e provincial government never spent

anything – all federal money. Th ese guys are awesome, they even give us our share of the gas tax. Even though they let the infrastructure dilapidate to the point where now they have to do something or all the overpasses are going to crash onto the highways.

Yes, they waited so long that infl ation is going to make it cost so much, a record amount, that they brag about spending $53.5-billion. If they had done it anytime sooner, as it was called for, they would have saved us billions.

Th anks a lot, Mark, but we really can’t aff ord anymore of your favours.

I love to walk in Hope and do so almost every day. Th ere is a particular pedestrian crossing that is extremely dangerous- it is the crossing at Kawakwa Lake Road and Sixth Ave.

I have had a few close calls but on Nov. 13 I was astounded by the driver who, when I was halfway across the marked crossing, drove directly in front of me having obviously no idea I was there because she was talking on her cell phone.

I was so angered I watched the car turn into Coo-per’s lot and followed it – unbelievably the woman was still talking on her phone. I knocked on the car window and the woman rolled it down and asked the person on the other end to “hold on.”

I asked this woman if she realized how close she came to making a huge mistake in her life (and mine!). She had no idea that I had been on the cross-ing and apologized profusely.

I told her that I had actually stopped to take her licence number down and report her to the RCMP. She was so shocked and apologetic that I instead cautioned her to think before using her phone while driving.

I am sharing this story in the hope that people will “think twice” before using a phone while driving!

I would like to congratulate Rev. Ken Wother-spoon on his address at the Nov. 11 Remembrance Day Service. A very timely talk on bullying today and yesteryear and how it aff ected the start of the Second World War by Hitler.

I would also like to thank all the Legion members who made the service possible (great job!) and the 500+ people who showed up at 11 a.m. to remember – you should be proud!

One million Canadians went to war, over 100,000 did not return. My dad Curly Gardner was in the army during the First World War at 17 and also in the Air Force during the Second World War. Th anks again Legion Padre Ken, you hit the nail on the head.

A few sunny breaks in our cool weather meant lots of shoppers came to the Legion to see what crafts were for sale at the 31st An-nual Beta Sigma Phi Sorority Craft Sale.

Intricate woodwork, bountiful baking and competent hand-crafted items, beauti-ful handmade jewelry, cleverly designed hats and scarves and glazed pottery all contributed to the happy reactions of those looking for bargains.

The in-house raffle

produced nine win-ners. All of the prizes were donated by gen-erous crafters and their customers.

The winners were: Mary Ann Brama (Generous Gift basket donated by T.O.P.S.); Joyce Savage (Crème Brûlée Beauty prod-ucts); Bev Kreller (wine basket and wine); Cathy Bremner (2 aprons donated by Liz Brackley); Pauline Svensrud (Mr. Coffee); Barbara Ferris (Fudge donated by Pixel Mountain Fudge); An-

gela Skoglund (Scarf and Beta Sigma Phi Cook Book); Carmen Perry (single-serve Food Blender) and Yvonne McPhedran (magnetic bracelet, donated by Ann Alex-ander).

The profits from table rentals, and the proceeds from the donation jar will go further than just one day’s enjoyment: all of it will be split between Holly Days, the orga-nization which exists solely for the benefit of people who struggle

at Christmas time, and the Transition House, which works all year long to make the lives of women who have fled abusive situations more serene.

Happy Christmas everyone!

Individuals of any age can and should be reported to the S u p e r i n t e n d e n t of Motor Vehicles (SMV) by their phy-sician (mandatory), a relative, a friend or just about anybody when they appear to have a cognitive, health or lifestyle issue that affects their ability to drive safely. The SMV can compel these drivers to take the Drive-Able assessment.

Wouldn’t you

think this removes all at-risk drivers one way or other?

It’s therefore ar-bitrary and redun-dant, on top of that, to force drivers over 80 to pay $150 every other year for a med-ical assessment.

I, and many oth-er senior drivers, strongly object to being singled out. Especially when, ac-cording to the ex-perts, 90 per cent of all accidents are caused by human

error, impaired or distracted driving, unrelated to age, gender or ethnicity.

I urge all senior drivers, or those soon to approach this arbitrary des-ignation, to contact the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, PO Box 9254 Stn Prv Govt, Victoria, B.C. V8W 9J2 and voice their objection to this pointless, petty harassment.

BC Ferries bosses swamp bonuses for higher pay

Jeff NagelBlack Press

It won’t be called a bonus any longer, but BC Ferries executives will take home almost as much money as they do now aft er a switch to a salary holdback plan.

Aft er months of promises by Transpor-tation Minister Todd Stone to fi x the con-troversial bonuses, the corporation an-nounced last Wednes-day they’ve been elimi-nated retroactive to April 1, 2013.

In their place is a new salary holdback system that raises the base sal-ary of executives by the four-year average of their recent bonuses.

Part of the new high-er base salary will be held back, starting next April, and be paid out only if performance targets are met.

BC Ferries’ board chair Donald Hayes said the plan is in line with the province’s guidelines for execu-tive compensation at Crown corporations.

But critics aren’t im-pressed.

“It’s bait and switch,” NDP leader Adrian Dix said. “Th is is a bo-nus scheme by another name. I don’t know why the premier thinks people will be fooled by this.”

BC Ferries execu-tive vice-president and chief fi nancial offi cer Robert Clarke received a $133,000 bonus this year on top of his base

salary of $297,300, for total pay before pen-sion contributions of $431,000.

Under the new sys-tem, his maximum salary will rise to $403,000, assuming he meets targets and isn’t subject to any hold-back.

CEO Michael Cor-rigan’s base salary rises from $364,000 to $425,125 and he is fore-cast to get the identical overall compensation of $563,000 in 2014 aft er pension contribu-tions and other benefi ts are added.

Corrigan’s pay is capped at that level, which is 60 per cent below former CEO David Hahn, who had been dubbed the “mil-lion dollar man” for the bonuses that took his

overall compensation into seven fi gures.

Th e corporation said a holdback plan for other managers wasn’t feasible so their base salaries will be raised by the four-year aver-age of bonuses, which will no longer be paid.

Hayes also an-nounced a two-year pay freeze for all execu-tives and managers un-til 2016.

“A two-year pay freeze is meaningless when you’re overpay-ing so dramatically,” said Canadian Taxpay-ers Federation B.C. director Jordan Bate-man, who pointed to the much lower salary of $165,943 paid to the CEO of Washington State’s ferry system.

“I’d call this baby steps but that might be

insulting to babies.”He said nothing has

been done to addressthe real problem withbonuses or holdbacks– that they’re meaning-less if the targets aretoo easy to achieve.

Th e most recent bo-nuses were paid outfor 2012 performancewhen the corporationrecorded a surplus, butcritics maintain thatshouldn’t have countedbecause the govern-ment injected $21.5million in extra subs-dies.

Bateman said no ex-ecutive should get abonus or a holdbackrepaid in years whereBC Ferries raises faresor takes more money inprovincial subsidies.

“Th at should be adeal breaker on bonus-es and holdbacks.”

News

BC Ferries has announced a new salary holdback plan for executives, which NDP leader Adrian Dix is calling a “bait and switch” system.

Pot petitioners face possible defeatJeff NagelBlack Press

Dana Larsen isn’t conceding defeat yet, but the head of the Sen-sible BC campaign to reform marijuana po-licing is already talking about another petition drive if the one now un-derway fails.

Canvassers have less than three weeks left be-fore the Dec. 9 deadline to submit the petition bearing the signatures of 10 per cent of eligible voters in every B.C. rid-ing.

Th ey have around 150,000 signatures counted as of Nov. 19, or about half the num-ber needed and far short of their target of 450,000 to provide a buff er against disquali-fi ed signatures.

“In at least half of the ridings we are strug-gling,” Larsen said Tues-day, adding that means a quarter or less of the signatures have been gathered. “We have a long way to go.”

Districts with the low-est numbers of signa-tures include Cariboo, Fort Langley, Langley, Abbotsford and Surrey-Tynehead, Larsen said.

Other areas where canvassers are doing well – either reaching their target or close to it – include Nelson, Cres-ton, Vancouver’s West End, Penticton, Kelow-na, Port Alberni and the Similkameen.

“We always knew it was going to be a huge challenge going into the campaign,” Larsen said. “Th eres a lot of fear out

there. People would love to sign the petition but say they’d lose their job or their employer told them not to. I fi nd that disturbing that people are afraid to express a political opinion.”

He said the main challenge has been the sheer logistics of col-lecting so many signa-tures in every riding in just 90 days.

He noted 50,000 sig-natures came in over the past week, adding a continued surge in the numbers up to the deadline could still put them “in the ballpark.”

Campaigners aim to pass the proposed Sen-

sible Policing Act to bar police from spending any time or resources enforcing the federal law against possessing small amounts of mari-juana.

A successful peti-tion would require the B.C. government to introduce the pseudo-decriminalization bill in the Legislature or else put it to a referendum like the one that defeat-ed the harmonized sales tax. Th e government held that referendum aft er Fight HST forces gathered 705,000 peti-tion signatures.

“Whether or not we get all the signatures we

need, this campaign will absolutely continue,” Larsen said, adding the “army” of supporters will push towards mari-juana legalization on multiple fronts.

He said Sensible BC could stage a new pe-tition in the months ahead and try again, potentially getting out of the gate faster by quickly re-registering the 4,000 canvassers now signed up.

“I don’t think we will relaunch immediately,” Larsen said, adding the group would take time to study what worked and what didn’t in the event of defeat.

“But almost certainly we would try again in the future.”

Metro will probe oil pipeline

twinning risks

News

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Metro Vancouver will embark on its own research into the environmental risks from Kinder Morgan’s proposal to twin the Trans Mountain oil pipeline even though some local politi-cians warn it may be a costly duplication of eff ort.

Metro’s environment and parks committee voted last Th ursday to echo Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew’s con-cerns about the project, par-ticularly the potential for a spill into Burrard Inlet.

Directors also voted to have regional district staff conduct a preliminary re-view of marine and air qual-ity risks from the expected fi ve-fold increase in the number of tankers carrying oil from the Burnaby termi-nal.

Kinder Morgan is expect-ed by year end to fi le its for-mal project application with the National Energy Board (NEB) to build a second pipeline that would nearly triple oil-moving capacity to 890,000 barrels per day.

Pitt Meadows Mayor Deb Walters was among the di-rectors who were concerned the review could evolve into a major investment of Metro staff time and money.

“I’m concerned a bit at the scope of this,” she said.

Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman, who sits on the committee but only has a vote on parks issues, also warned Metro could face “an extremely large bill” for work that might already be done by Environment Can-ada or the NEB.

“It’s a duplication of other levels of government,” Ban-man said. “My fear is this is being used as a bit of a po-litical football to make more of a political statement than anything else.”

Air quality and environ-ment planning director Rog-er Kwan said a detailed risk analysis isn’t possible until Kinder Morgan fi les more specifi cs with the NEB.

Kwan said the aim will be to ensure Metro is well armed to infl uence or advise the NEB on issues that are a concern to the regional dis-trict.

Metro will also have to de-cide whether or not to seek intervenor status at the fu-ture Kinder Morgan pipeline hearings.

Bowen Island director An-drew Stone said one “huge” concern in the event of a spill

is the “off -gassing” of sol-vents used to dilute oil sands bitumen that could pose se-rious health risks and trigger large-scale evacuations of Vancouver and North Shore neighbourhoods.

Drew, meanwhile, has ex-changed a fl urry of letters with Kinder Morgan offi cials and says he’s still not satis-fi ed with their answers, par-ticularly regarding the re-sponse to the 2007 spill from the Trans Mountain pipeline in Burnaby that released 250,000 litres of oil, some of which reached Burrard Inlet.

He says the cleanup re-sponse was slow and con-tainment booms put on the water in the inlet failed to fully contain the escaped oil.

Summer weather, day-light and the proximity of response vessels all made for ideal conditions, Drew said in an Oct. 31 letter to the company, “yet there was still a considerable amount of unrecovered fugitive oil that contaminated the beaches of Burrard Inlet.”

Drew has also raised con-cern about tanker lights and noise, the size of the pro-posed new three-berth load-ing terminal, and the risk of earthquakes that could rupture the pipeline and trigger a hard-to-contain land-to-sea spill, possibly in conjunction with a landslide near Burnaby Mountain.

Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson a week earlier told a Vancou-ver business audience the risk of earthquakes is being studied closely but seismic reviews so far indicate Burn-aby Mountain is “one of the most solid, secure rock bases in the Lower Mainland.”

He also told reporters the steady improvements in leak detection, valve shut-off and other technologies that would come with a new $5.4-billion pipeline would actually reduce land-based spill risks.

“It’s safe today, the overall infrastructure will be safer later,” Anderson said.

While much focus is on the risk of tankers sailing through Burrard Inlet to and from the existing Burnaby terminal, Richmond Coun. Harold Steves said he wants Metro to keep a wary eye on the potential for Kinder Morgan to switch to an al-ternate oil terminal near the mouth of the Fraser River if opposition to more tank-ers sailing past Vancouver proves too fi erce.

Shaggy brings reggae act to Chilliwack

Jennifer FeinbergBlack Press

Shaggy has sold more than 20 million records worldwide and the reg-gae artist with the unique voice is on his way to Chilliwack on Nov. 25.

Despite the Grammy winning ‘Boombastic’ and hits like ‘It wasn’t Me,’ Shaggy still sees himself in the role of underdog.

“Th e only way to sur-vive and to win is to go against the grain,” he tells Black Press.

Shaggy is the stage name of Orville Richard Burrell, a reggae cross-over artist with a com-manding presence and a unique tone.

He’s zooming across California near Los An-geles in a tour bus, con-ducting the interview over his cell phone, as he heads toward his next gig at the Canyon Club in the Agoura Hills.

Going against the grain as an underdog is really the motivation that drives him.

“It’s not likes it’s an even playing fi eld in the indus-try for reggae music.”

Shaggy performs live at the Echo Room on Main Street on Monday, Nov. 25 featuring Rayvon.

He’s been busy tour-ing the new album he did with production duo Sly and Robbie called Out of Many, One Music. He’s been travelling and per-forming across the West

Coast of the U.S. and Canada.

So what encour-ages him to break new ground?

“I’ve been in love with music from the day I fi rst heard it,” he says. Th e singer doesn’t really con-sider himself an expert in too many domains, but making reggae music is one thing he knows he does very well.

His home base is Kingston, Jamaica, but he has a pied-a-terre home in New York City as well.

Shaggy enjoys collabo-rating, and says each dif-ferent voice adds a diff er-ent texture to music, and breaks up the monotony.

“If you’re always hear-ing guitar in the song for

example, at some point you’re going to want to hear a horn or a key-board.”

His latest video, You Girl feat. Ne-Yo, is the second single of the new album.

Asked what artist’s mu-sic he can hear over and over without tiring of it, Shaggy names Bill With-ers.

“You know Bill With-ers? You’ve heard the song, Lean On Me?”

Th e Grammy winning songwriter Bill With-ers also penned Ain’t No Sunshine and Just the Two of Us and Use Me.

Voice competitor Tes-sanne, who is also from Jamaica is on the show, Th e Voice, because of

Shaggy’s recommenda-tion.

“She’s been a good friend of mine for a cou-ple of years,” he says. “She has that classic voice. She’s an amazing artist who is heading in the direction taken by the greats like Celine or Whitney.”

So he’s played a lot of gigs over the years.

Does audience reac-tion make or break him?

“Th e audience reaction enhances the experience, not makes or breaks it.”

He remembers what he considers his weirdest gig ever in Japan. He had to perform for a roomful of mostly business men in suits who were just star-ing at him.

“I remember thinking, ‘how do I connect with these guys?’”

He decided to go for it, sitting in one of the ladies’ laps and getting up on a table.

“You can’t just sit down and sing in a case like that. It becomes el-evator music. You have to yell, scream, jump on tables, make jokes, sit in their laps, do a striptease. Whatever works.”

Shaggy’s Out of Many One Music Tour 2013 featuring Rayvon stops at Echo Room Night Club on Main Street in Chilli-wack on Nov. 25.

Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $40 each. For more information, call 604-703-4450.

Reggae singer Shaggy performs in Chilliwack on Nov. 25.

Get ready to celebrate the lat-est fi lm installment from Warren Miller with Ticket to Ride.

Winter sports hounds can ex-perience the ultimate in winter thrills and chills at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Nov. 29 at 7:30 p.m.

Warren Miller Entertainment brings the highly-anticipated 64th annual fi lm, featuring ski-ers as diverse as the terrain, with World Cup champions, legendary ski mountaineers and veterans of the new school in a jaw-dropping fi lm that will take your breath away.

We spent the winter in search of amazing terrain and deep snow, with some of the world’s top skiers in some of the world’s hardest to access ski locales,” said managing director Max Bervy.

“We’re excited to introduce winter sports fans to the newest release from Warren Miller Films and look forward to debuting

Ticket to Ride this fall.”Staying true to its name, the

latest in a series, presented by Th e Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Cen-tre Society, takes ski fans on an action-packed ride to the world’s most exotic destinations, includ-ing Th e Alaskan Tordrillos, Swit-zerland’s Jungfrau, Iceland’s Troll Peninsula and beyond. Th e skiers starring in Ticket to Ride include World Cup champions, legendary ski mountaineers and veterans of the new school. Witness athletes at their career-best, and discover the paths that put them at the top of the steepest peaks in the 64th annual ski and snowboard fi lm, Warren Miller’s Ticket to Ride.

Look for world-class action sport athletes including World Cup champions and Olympians Seth Wescott, Ted Ligety and Ju-lia Mancuso, plus legendary ski mountaineers like Chris Daven-port, and freeskiers Colby James West and Sean Pettit. Park & pipe

veteran Gretchen Bleiler throws down in Aspen proving “girls can look like girls and still rip.” An all-female cast of Jess McMillan, Ju-lia Mancuso and Sierra Quitiquit explore the expansive terrain that is Iceland’s Troll Peninsula, and a snowboard segment in Valdez brings two legends, Seth Wescott and Rob Kingwill, together for a rowdy, big mountain adventure.

Come experience the immense energy of the world’s most sought-aft er destinations, and discover the “epicenter of big lines” in Alaska, Montana’s Big Sky Coun-try and the exotic winter play-grounds of Kazakhstan, Iceland and Greenland. Th e trams and trains in Switzerland will climb to Mt. Eiger, as the fi shing boats in Norway carry you to the islands of Ålesund. Once again, winter begins with Warren Miller, and it’s time to get your Ticket to Ride.

For ticket information, call 604-391-SHOW(7469).

Action-packed fun from Warren Miller film

Get passionate for a career in 10 stepsHaving worked with

clients throughout the Hope/Boston Bar area for the past 20 years, I have met many people who are looking at new careers.

They will ask about the labour market, what courses are avail-able locally and what I think they should do for a living.

When case manag-ers talk to them about their passions, desires

and interests they of-ten draw a blank.

Getting passionate for a career is funda-mentally about dis-covering something you would love to do. In his book, “The Ele-ment,” Ken Robinson explains that people experience high levels of achievement when they engage in ac-tivities for which they possess a natural ap-titude but also a per-

sonal passion. “When people are

in their Element,” says Robinson, “they con-nect with something fundamental to their sense of identity, pur-pose, and well-being.”

So how can you get passionate about a ca-reer?

There is no shortage of personality assess-ments on the internet. You fill in answers to forced choice ques-

tions and you then receive a pigeon hole categorization for what you would be best suited to. The results are quick and easy. However, the challenge with “sci-entific assessments” is that they are firstly based on psychologi-cal theories and do not take other important factors into consider-ation.

The best off the shelf system in my opinion is the What Colour Is Your Parachute books and online course by Richard Bolles. It is a lengthy process that really gets you to think about who you are and what you are about. Alternatively you could try the following steps:

1. Write a list of the 25 things you really like doing. You need to really think in or-der to get to 25, so give it time. When you have your list put it in the drawer for a little while.

2. Write a list of 25 things you are really good at doing. Just like the first list give it time and then stick it in the drawer.

3. When both lists

have cooled down take them out and read them through. Does anything stick out as common between the two lists?

4. Write a list of 25 opportuni-ties. This might be a good time to think about your c o n t a c t s and what they have going on. Does any-thing on this list re-late to the first two lists?

5. Now imagine it is your 80th birthday and your grandchild is giving a speech about what you achieved in life. What is in the grandchild’s speech?

6. Pretend you are an employment coun-selor asking this per-son (you) what they would do if there were no barriers between where they are now and what they really want to do. When we think about ourselves in a third person way we can be much more objective and less

emotional.7. Create a pride

list by thinking about something you have done in your life that makes you proud. It should be a job, ac-

tivity or p r o j e c t that you a c c o m -p l i s h e d . Now write d o w n your story. When you have fin-ished ask a friend to listen to it. Ask them to write down any skills or

personal qualities they hear. How do these points relate to your first lists?

8. Talk to your par-ents. This crazy idea may not work for ev-eryone but in most cases these people have known you for your whole life. Ask them about what work they have done and why they enjoyed it. These “family of ori-gin” people are prob-ably quite a bit like you. Weird, eh? Their likes and dislikes may be similar to yours.

Ask them what theythink you are good at,what you wanted to bewhen you were five.Stay open-minded anddon’t argue – you’re re-searching.

9. Conduct infor-mational interviews.Asking people who aredoing what you are in-terested in doing canbe stimulating. Askpeople what they likebest about their workand what sort of ad-vice they would givesomeone who is justgetting started. Pluck-ing up the courage toask questions can bedifficult but rememberyou are on a quest foryour passion.

10. Go talk to a pro-fessional. Making anappointment with anemployment coun-selor is a good idea. Ifyou are unemployedand living in BritishColumbia you proba-bly qualify for free em-ployment counseling.Check out a WorkBCCentre in your com-munity. If you havealready completedthe steps above a casemanager at one ofthese centres can helpyou put it all together.

Barry StewartThe Hope Standard

Th ey live among us — and this Sunday, you’ll see them don their green jerseys and watermelon helmets, honking their horns and banging pot lids like it’s midnight on New Year’s Eve.

Rider fans.Th ere will be no holding them

back, aft er their team, the Sas-katchewan Roughriders, beat the Calgary Stampeders last Sunday to earn a berth in this Sunday’s Grey Cup… which is being hosted by the city of Regina.

Win or lose, they may be diffi -cult to live with or work with next week.

Shelley Empey, a lab techni-cian at Fraser Canyon Hospital, had less than 12 hours to organize our “Rider Nation, Hope Chapter” photo shoot for sundown on Tues-day — but a half dozen jumped at the opportunity to show their Rid-er pride. Like Empey and her hus-band Evan, most were born and raised in Saskatchewan, including former Rosthern resident Nichole Desjardins, wearing her new wa-termelon helmet.

“I’ve worn them before,” said Desjardins, “but this is the fi rst one I’ve made. It’s my fi rst carve.”

A Riders sweater and matching mittens complimented her head gear.

“I’ve been a fan since the day I was born, I’m sure,” said Desjar-dins. “I’ve spent almost half my life in B.C. now — and I’ll never not be a Riders fan.

“I bleed green!”Curiously, Desjardins has never

been to a Riders’ game in Regina, though she’s worn the green in BC Place a number of times.

Jon Polishak, who couldn’t make the photo shoot, spent a lot of time in the old Taylor Field stadium when he lived in Regina in the 1990s.

“I used to play for the Regina Lions’ band and we played at the Riders’ games,” said Polishak, an English and theatre teacher at Hope Secondary… a hot-bed of Saskatchewan-born staff mem-bers.

“One of my fi rst jobs was work-ing in the concession at the sta-dium,” he added. “Aft er half time, they’d send me out to sell left -over hot dogs in the stands.”

Polishak recalled the last time

the Riders met the Hamilton Tiger Cats in the Grey Cup. It was 1989 and Dave Ridgway scored a last-second fi eld goal to win it 43-40 for the Riders.

Fun facts: the Tiger Cats’ head coach, Kent Austin, was the Rid-ers’ quarterback in 1989 — and his starting quarterback this Sun-day is former Rider, Henry Bur-ris… who’ll be passing to former outstanding Riders’ receiver Andy Fantuz.

Hope Secondary’s principal, Rosalee Floyd, is a long-time fan — though she’ll be out of town

on Sunday. Her husband Len is a Rider fan as well… despite anoth-er fun fact. He’s American, from Montana. Th ey lived just across the border in Opeim (popula-tion 85, in 2010) and they’d come across the border to the Riders’ games.

“I think it’s going to be a good game — but I highly anticipate a Rider win,” said Floyd.

Not so fast, though. Th e Riders are favoured to win over the Tiger Cats — but if you’re a true Riders fan, you’ve got to be ready for re-ally bad stuff to happen.

Th e Riders’ Grey Cup wins are so memorable because there have been so few of them. As in three. Th at’s the least Grey Cup wins of any CFL team.

Meanwhile, the Riders have the record for the most Grey Cup loss-es, at 15. Five losses for every win. Th ey last won in 2007.

A win will sit fi ne with Empey, who said the spirits can run a little high when the Riders are strug-gling in a big game.

“Th e language from the ‘gentle-men’ gets quite colourful when the boys are down.

“Th e guys wear their hearts ontheir sleeves when it comes to theirbeloved Riders,” she added.

Small wonder, when they have ahistory of heart-breaking losses —the most recent in 2009 when Sas-katchewan had the win guaranteedaft er Montreal missed on a latefi eld goal… only to be called fortoo many green men on the fi eld.

Montreal got to try again, from10 yards closer and they won by asingle point.

“Hopefully the Riders practicecounting from 1 to 12 before thebig show,” said Empey, grinning.

Saskatchewan Roughrider pride takes over Hope

Rider pride will be on show this weekend, as the Saskatchewan Roughriders take on the Hamilton Tiger Cats for the 101st Grey Cup Sunday in Regina. BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

treatment pond and a new wetland feature that restores a portion of the landfi ll to a natural state. Shaping and covering of the waste continues with fi nal fabricated topsoil now not forecast until spring (due to winter weather).

Who is responsible for clearing the sidewalks?We ask residents to: Clear their driveways and entrances. Property owners/occupants are responsible for clearing sidewalks adjacent to their properties. It is dangerous to place snow on the roadway. When clearing your driveway, pile the snow on the left side of your driveway (as you look towards your house). In many cases this will reduce the amount of snow that the plows push back into your driveway.We ask businesses to: Remove snow, ice and rubbish from the sidewalk and footpath bordering on the property not later than 10 o’clock in the morning of any day except Sunday or a statutory holiday.Aft er a snowfall or ice storm, snow and ice must be removed from the roof or any other structure where there is potential for ice and snow to fall on any sidewalk or roadway.We ask everyone to: Try not to park on the road if possible aft er a snowfall. Vehicles parked on the roads will impede the ability of the snowplow to clear the road.Be patient and thoughtful. Th e District staff is out there working on your behalf. A little consideration and common sense can go a long way when weather conditions are diffi cult.
