Fraser-Cascade schools are once again behind picket lines aft er an at-tempt at mediated talks to resolve the teachers strike collapsed over the weekend, ending hopes classes could start on schedule.

Parents of children requiring alter-nate child care have been warned by school district administrators to plan for a lengthy shutdown of schools and to not assume the labour dispute will be resolved in a matter of days.

“I realize that this news is very dis-appointing as this is the time of year when students, families and school district staff eagerly anticipate and pre-pare for the beginning of a new school year,” said superintendent Karen Nel-son in a letter to parents on Monday.

“While principals and vice-prin-

cipals will be in our schools they will be unable to provide instruction or appropriate supervision. We remain optimistic that we will soon be in a position to share positive news about the upcoming school year and the ed-ucational opportunities awaiting your children.”

Premier Christy Clark urged the B.C. Teachers Federation Wednesday to suspend its strike to allow public school classes to open while negotia-tions continue.

And she insisted the union get “re-alistic” and move towards the public sector pattern on wage increases so the two sides can hammer out a deal to improve class support for special needs, which she called the biggest is-sue facing the education system.

“Th ere are no easy fi xes and no shortcuts to achieving long-term la-bour peace for kids,” Clark said in a

news conference Wednesday aft er-noon.

BCTF president Jim Iker ruled out a pause in the strike along the lines of the two-week truce the province pro-posed last week and is still off ering.

“Th e government remains en-trenched and unwilling to be fl exible,” he told reporters. “We’re not suspend-ing any strike right now.”

Th e premier had been criticized in recent days for keeping a low profi le – apart from a few posts on Twitter and Facebook – as the teachers strike rolled into September without a deal.

“Th is is going to be settled at the ne-gotiating table by negotiators,” Clark said. “Th ere’s no magic wand, there’s no one who can walk in and say ‘Guess what? I’ve come up with some simple, easy way that’s magically going to solve this.’”

Th e premier said the union’s posi-

tion is unreasonably high and maderepeated references to BCTF de-mands for massage therapy benefi ts– a request that was dropped in recentweeks –and a $5,000 signing bonusthat would cost the province morethan $150 million. Clark gave no indi-cation of how long the government isprepared to let the strike continue or ifclasses might reopen under an essen-tial services designation on the basis ofdamage to students’ education.

Fassbender has vowed the govern-ment won’t legislate the teachers backto work this time. Th e strike beganwith rotating walkouts in the springand turned into a complete schoolshutdown in mid-June. Th ere werevirtually no negotiations through thesummer until a last-minute eff ortat exploratory talks led by mediatorVince Ready began last week.

Teachers’ strike at ‘impasse’ after talksTeachers are behind picket lines again throughout the Fraser-Cascade school district this week as there’s been no progress in contract talks between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government over the summer. Parents are being warned by district administration to plan for a lengthy shutdown of schools.

School is not in but our classroom is open!

New school district administrator Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Kevin Bird is looking forward to helping improve student learning in his new role as assistant superin-tendent of schools.

He brings many years of experi-ence to the Fraser-Cascade school district position, having worked in both metro and small rural com-munities as a classroom teacher, vice-principal, and principal.

“Th e size of the community and the size of the district is very simi-lar to the one I worked in up north and I really found that to be a good fi t,” said Bird, who started his career in New Westminster and spent the last 10 years working in the Smith-ers area. “I prefer the communities similar to the ones we have here. Th e students that come through here form our community and we can have a major impact.”

Aside from exploring the variety

of recreational activities available in the region, Bird is looking forward to the professional mentorship op-portunities.

“Perhaps this is un-known but the superin-tendent here has a really good reputation in the province,” he added. “So to work with someone with that type of reputa-tion is quite a gift .”

Student learning has been a career focus for Bird, who has served as a consultant to the Min-istry of Education and co-authored ANIE (Assessment of Numeracy in Education) with a colleague in Chilliwack. Th e Fras-er-Cascade school district was one of the fi rst to adopt his book.

“It’s a foundational lesson ap-proach to teaching math in a way that connects everything you do in math to real life as opposed to be-

ing sort of an abstract concept,” saidBird. “Part of the model that weworked on for the book was basedupon some brain research that

points to the connectingof skills between numera-cy and literacy and otherthings as well. As an off -shoot to using this kindof approach, you do seegains in literacy.”

Bird said the districtis currently working onconnecting students insmaller schools, especial-ly at the elementary level,by using technology to

bridge the gap, not just in contentdelivery but in relationship build-ing. For example, he points outthat students in Boston Bar wouldbe able to develop friendships withstudents in Agassiz and spend timeelectronically writing to each otherand communicating via video aswell as taking fi eld trips.

Vikki HopesBlack Press

Friends of an Abbots-ford man who was last seen near a camping area in Hope on Aug. 24 says his disappearance is out of character, and they are concerned about what has happened to him.

Angie Korkowski, ex-ecutive director of Joshua House recovery minis-try in Abbotsford, says friends are worried that Tim Rutherford could have gone down an em-bankment or that he might have relapsed aft er eight years of being clean and sober. Th ey are try-ing to remain hopeful and not think about the worst-case scenario.

Hope RCMP issued a press release on Tuesday, asking for the public’s help in trying to locate Rutherford, 46.

He was last seen by a camp ranger on Sunday, Aug. 24 at about 1 p.m.,

when he was parked at the Jones Lake pull-out near the Highway 1 exit 153 in Hope.

Rutherford had been camping in the area, but none of his friends or family have seen or heard from him since. His vehicle, a 1998 hunter-green Ford Explorer with a sunroof and B.C. licence plate 542 WTP, has not been lo-cated.

Korkow sk i said Rutherford, whom she has known since 2006, had been a Joshua House staff member when he abruptly quit his job on July 28.

She said he seemed distraught at the time, and announced that he was going to go camping to get away and clear his head.

Korkowski said Ruth-erford camped at Rolley

Lake in Mission for the fi rst half of August before moving to the Jones Lake area.

He was in touch with friends every couple of days, and Korkowski said

she last heard from him on Aug. 21.

Friends tried to reach him on his cellphone aft er that, but their calls went straight to voice mail.

A worried Korkowski, ac-

companied by her hus-band and a friend, went searching for Rutherford on Friday, Aug. 29. Th ey located his campsite, which was still set up with his tent, camp stove, and other personal items, but Rutherford and his ve-hicle were gone.

Th e trio could fi nd no sign of him, and reported their concerns to police.

Korkowski said Ruth-

erford loved to go four-by-fouring in his SUV,and she is concerned thathe might have had an ac-cident, perhaps rollingdown an embankment.

“It’s a scary place tothink that he’s out therealone or hurt,” she said.

Korkowski said friendsare also concerned thatRutherford might haverelapsed and is afraid toface them, but she saidthey will support and helphim if that is the case.

“I just want to bringhim home … I considerhim like my little brother.It’s so sad that nobody hasheard from him at all,” shesaid.

Rutherford is describedas 5’ 1”, heavyset, withshoulder-length brownhair, and a brown/redmoustache. Anyone withinformation is asked tocontact the Hope RCMPat 604-869-7750 and ref-erence Hope fi le 2014-29457, or call Crime Stop-pers at 1-800-222-8477.

Paramedic retires after 21 years of service in HopeBarry StewartHope Standard

Aft er 32 years of service to the province — 25 of them as a unit chief — paramedic Bob Michell is stepping down from full-time duty.

Last Th ursday was his fi nal day at the BC Ambu-lance Service’s Hope station before retirement and Michell (pronounced MY-chul) was working with his long-time shift partner, Mike Stuart.

“We were having an uneventful day until about three o’clock,” said Michell. “Th en Mike said ‘You’re not going to believe this!”

A tour bus had crashed on the Coquihalla High-way, south of Merritt — and so began the biggest call of Michell’s career… on his last day of work.

“What are the chances of that?” asked Michell, who got home a few hours late that night.

“On our computer screen in the car, it tells you all of the units that are responding to the call,” he said. “It was lighting it up.

“Th ere were 19 ambulances and six air ambulanc-es dispatched: Merritt, Kamloops, Kelowna, Hope and Chilliwack.”

Michell was impressed by all the members of the public that were fi rst on the scene and stepped in to help before emergency services arrived.

“Everybody did their best,” he said.Michell fi gures he’s been on thousands of calls in

his career — including four previous bus crashes — but this one was, “Absolutely, my biggest call.”

In 1982, Michell was working as a bellman at the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel when he got into part-time service at the Agassiz ambulance station. To get a sense of what he had signed up for, he rode “third” as an observer and his fi rst call was with Peter Wheeler and Doug Lefebvre, for a congestive heart failure in Harrison Mills.

“My fi rst call as an attendant was for a fractured leg at Sunshine Valley, in December of 1982,” re-called Michell.

In 1986, Michell was hired as full-timer and was stationed in Vancouver for holiday relief — and in 1988, he was promoted to unit chief in Pemberton. Part-time driver Milt Fernandez, a man of many hats in the town, was a big asset for the newcomer.

“I didn’t know where anything was and Milt knew all the roads,” said Michell. “Milt only ever drove. I’d jump in the attendant’s seat and say, ‘Let’s go.’”

Michell maintained a residence in Harrison, so when the unit chief position at Station 214 (Hope) came open in 1992, he bid his way back into the area. Michell served in that role until last year, when he stepped aside so his friend Rick Simon could bid for the position and move closer to home.

In addition to Stuart, who started as part-timer in Hope and is now a full-time paramedic, the station has seen two other locals start as part-timers and work their way into full-time careers.

Ian Tait, now in the Advanced Life Support pro-gram, came back to visit Michell during his last week. Sandra Jenneson, now a medical doctor, also dropped by.

“Sandra started riding third at age 15, as part of a high school program,” said Michell.

Within a year of arriving in Hope, Michell and the crew at 214 were faced with the tragic death of part-timer Carol Schlamp, who was killed in an am-bulance crash west of Laidlaw on Jan. 26, 1993.

“It was devastating,” recalled Michell. “Carol was the fi rst female paramedic to die while on a call in B.C.”

Hope’s ambulance 62678 is “Carol’s Car” and car-ries her name, in memory of her service and sacri-fi ce.

Refl ecting back on his time at Station 214, Michell said, “It has been a privilege to serve the people of Hope.”

And he’s not done. Michell plans to enjoy a few months of full retirement, before coming back for part-time shift work in Hope, starting in December.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Ready walked out on Saturday, declaring an im-passe with the two sides too far apart for media-tion to be productive.

Clark said the eventual deal with teachers must be fair – giving them a deserved raise but also respecting that other unionized workers have accepted the govern-ment’s economic man-date off er on wages.

“Th e teachers union needs to come to the table

with a proposal that is re-alistic. For heaven’s sake, 150,000 other public sec-tor employees who work just as hard have settled for far less. Th ey didn’t get a $5,000 signing bonus. Th ey didn’t get unlim-ited massage. Th ey didn’t get an extra day off every year.”

In fact, the massage de-mand, when it was still on the table, was for a maxi-mum of $3,000 per year on a doctor’s prescription.

Iker insisted the BCTF is close to the govern-

ment on wages and made signifi cant concessions in recent weeks. Th e gov-ernment off er is seven per cent over six years, while the union wants eight per cent over fi ve years. Iker said the signing bonus demand is “negotiable” and reiterated his call for Clark to meet him directly. Iker repeatedly criticized the government for committing money to

priorities other than edu-cation, including the new B.C. Place stadium roof, a payout to a California utility to settle lawsuits against BC Hydro, and now the $40-a-day pay-ments to parents. He es-timated the extra money needed to fund the BCTF demands represents $3 per day per student.

“Th ey have $40 a day right now to keep kids

out of school. It’s about choices.”

But the province says the combined wages and benefi ts demand is still nearly twice what other public sector unions have accepted. Overhanging the talks is the govern-ment’s pending appeal of the latest court ruling on class size and composi-tion, slated to be heard in mid-October. Iker again

called on the government to drop its insistence on a clause that would let it “nullify” another ruling in favour of teachers. Clark was asked if it’s possible to overcome the animos-ity stemming from the stripping of the teachers’ contract in 2002 when she was education minister.

“I think we can and I think we have to,” she said. “We all have to get

past the emotion here.”Th e province has of-

fered a $75-millionLearning ImprovementFund to help address spe-cial needs but the unionwants much more forspecial needs and to settlegrievances. Clark said thegovernment’s off er addsup to $375 million to im-prove class compositionwith more teachers andCUPE support staff .

QR code unveiled for Alexandra Bridge petition

Th e partners working to pre-serve and restore the 1926 Alex-andra Bridge have come up with a high-tech tool to help drum up support to save the historic struc-ture in the Fraser Canyon.

Spuzzum First Nation and oth-er Alexandra Bridge project part-ners unveiled a Quick Response (QR) code at Klahowya Village in Stanley Park last Th ursday that al-lows anyone with a smart phone, tablet or other mobile device to sign the petition to save the icon-ic bridge. Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Th roness has promised to personally deliver the petition to the B.C. Legislature.

Th e event was the result of a partnership between Aboriginal Tourism BC, Spuzzum First Na-tion, Connect Media, the New Pathways to Gold Society and other project supporters.

“Th e Alexandra Bridge was built at a traditional crossing of the Fraser River and as such, it’s the tip of a cultural iceberg dat-ing back 10,000 years,” said Keith Henry, CEO of Aboriginal Tour-ism BC.

“We’re delighted to host this event in support of the Spuzzum First Nation’s eff orts to preserve this historic bridge in their tradi-tional territory.”

Th e QR code was developed by Riley Forman of Connect Media and is available on the travel-thecanyon.com and New Path-ways to Gold Society websites. Th e code and background infor-mation of the Alexandra Bridge Project will also be available at a display in the Klahowya Village Artisan’s Village.

Alexandra Bridge is the high-

ways equivalent of the Last Spike, having helped knit B.C. and Can-ada together.

Th e heart of Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park, the 1926 bridge requires repairs to be restored as a major heritage tourism at-traction. Th e Alexandra Bridge project partners are working with BC Parks and the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastruc-ture among others to achieve this goal.

Spuzzum First Nation is one of the lead organizations in the Alexandra Bridge project, a co-alition of government, commu-nity and corporate groups with the common goal of making the

preservation of the bridge a lega-cy project for the Canada150 cel-ebrations in 2017.

“Th e Alexandra Bridge is anicon of Canadian transportationand cultural history,” said Spuz-zum First Nation chief James Ho-bart.

“Th e bridge site is layered deepwith history – 10 millennia ofFirst Nations’ history, the furtrade, Gold Rush and the build-ing of the railways. It’s somethingworth preserving.”

Spuzzum First Nation is amember of the Nlaka’pamux Na-tion Tribal Council, whose offi cesare near Alexandra Bridge andabout 16 kilometres north of Yale.

Cops for Cancer hits the road this month More than 100 police offi -

cers and emergency servic-es personnel will slip into spandex, strap on their hel-mets and hit the road this month as part of the annual Cops for Cancer cycling tours to raise awareness and money for pediatric cancer research.

A total of 107 cyclists will participate in four diff erent tours that will visit busi-nesses and schools from Fort St. John in the prov-ince’s north to the south-ernmost reaches of Vancou-ver Island.

“For more than 15 years, communities throughout the Fraser Valley have wel-comed us, hosting events that we look forward to each year,” says rider Trevor Sales, the team captain for the Tour de Valley, which takes riders from Tsawwas-sen to Boston Bar.

“It’s hard to describe the feeling when you see the lengths people go to, wel-coming and supporting the riders, because they too be-

lieve that no child should have to face cancer.”

In addition to the Tour de Valley, the Tour de Rock

will cover Vancouver Is-land, the Tour de North will travel through north-ern British Columbia from

Prince George to Prince Rupert (with a stop in Kiti-mat), and the Tour de Coast will journey around Greater

Vancouver and up to Pow-ell River and Pemberton. While the rides begin in September, the cyclists are

already in the midst of theirfundraising and training ef-forts.

“All Cops for Cancer rid-ers take part in rigoroustraining – they need to learnhow to pace themselves andride in a peloton,” says Al-lan Mugford, Fraser Valleyregional director for theCanadian Cancer Society.

“But what they can neverprepare for is the emotion-al impact of seeing a childwith cancer and the toll ittakes on their entire family.”

Th e Cops for Cancercampaign runs throughSeptember, with moneyraised going to fund leadingedge cancer research andsupport programs operatedby the Canadian Cancer So-ciety like Camp Goodtimes.

Th e Tour de Valley runsSept. 25-Oct. 3, and travelsthrough Hope and the Fra-ser Canyon on Sept. 28.

This summer’s wild-fire season will go down as one of the most destructive on re-cord in B.C.

As of Wednesday, fires had burned up more than 338,000 hectares across the province and sur-passed the 337,000 hectares destroyed in the 2010 fire season.

This year is still far short of 1958, when 856,000 hectares burned, but 2014 could move into fifth place if it surpasses 1950’s 343,339 hectares, or even third if it tops the 351,000 lost in 1971.

While much timber has burned, no homes or other significant structures have been lost this year, so by that measure it’s been nowhere near as cata-strophic as the 2003 fire season, when more than 300 homes were lost or damaged in the Okanagan Mountain and McClure fires.

But it has been cost-ly.

The province has so far spent more than $246 million fighting wildfires, almost four times what was bud-geted, and more than the $212 million ex-pended in 2010.

Despite wet weather on the Labour Day weekend, fire officials are bracing for more warm dry spells in September.

“It’s unlikely we’ve seen the end of the fire season by any stretch of the imagination,” fire information officer Dustin Eno said.

The actual number of fires this year – just over 1,330 – is well below the average of 1,600 a year.

But many of the fires have been very large.

The biggest, and

still only 20 per cent contained, is the 133,162-hectare Chelaslie River fire, which is between Ana-him Lake and Burns Lake, near Entiako and Tweedsmuir provincial parks. Homes remain under evacuation or-der there.

The largest evacua-tions this summer have included the China Nose fire near Hous-ton and the McAllister fire, which forced the evacuation of the en-tire town of Hudson’s Hope in July.

Assisting B.C. crews have been large num-bers of imported fire-fighters and equip-ment, from other provinces, Alaska and Australia.

“We’ve brought in a lot and have been very grateful to be able to draw on those relation-ships, both right across Canada and interna-tionally,” Eno said.

“Last year we export-ed a lot of firefighters to fight in other juris-dictions and this year they were able to re-turn that favour.”

Bleak summer for coastal ferry remake

Th ere was an uproar in the B.C. legislature this spring when Trans-portation Minister Todd Stone went ahead with $19 million in cuts to low-usage coastal ferry routes.

Th e plan had been laid out in detail before last year’s election. It targeted sailings where rider-ship was in the low teens or even single digits. On some sailings the Transport Canada-mandated crew outnumbered the passengers.

Despite the cries of doom, most of the sailing reductions have been managed – with one glaring excep-tion. Th e Discovery Coast Circle

Tour route saw its ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola replaced, using the smallest vessel in the BC Ferries fl eet, the open-decked Nimpkish.

Th is move wasn’t a direct re-sponse to low usage, a chronic is-sue with some of the minor route sailings along the coast. It was to avoid ordering a replacement for the Queen of Chilliwack, which sailed directly between Port Hardy and Bella Coola.

Th is summer the fi rst leg was consolidated with the Northern Expedition, the vessel that re-placed the doomed Queen of the North on the Inside Passage run up to Prince Rupert. At Bella Bella, aft er a layover of a couple of hours, the Nimpkish took over with space for 16 standard vehicles on its deck and a midnight arrival time in Bel-la Coola.

Th e direct route had been main-ly used by European tourists, who sailed from the Lower Mainland to Victoria, drove the length of the Island, ferried to Bella Coola and drove through the rugged Chil-cotin to Williams Lake and back down south to complete the circle tour.

Th e new route incorporated stops in remote outposts Ocean Falls and Shearwater, making it even longer. Warnings came early.

“Th at’s where 90 per cent of the [BC Ferries] money is being lost, on the milk runs, and that’s the part they are keeping,” Pe-trus Rykes, a tourism operator at Anahim Lake for 40 years, said in March. “Th e part they’ve cancelled was at 70 per cent capacity, the sec-ond highest of all the fl eet routes.”

Reports of a bad slump have come to pass. Th e changes meant

bookings couldn’t be made until April, too late for most interna-tional travelers.

A survey by Bella Coola Valley Tourism in mid-summer found most operators losing business, from 10 to 90 per cent. A bus tour of Canadian seniors heading west from Williams Lake was termi-nated aft er 14 years. One tourism operator on Highway 20 is consid-ering closing down.

Stone and his family took the new route themselves in early Au-gust, with the minister off ering sunny reports on his blog.

Stone summed up his experi-ence this way:

“At the end of the day, my as-sessment is that the Nimpkish is a good tourism product if tour-ists are made fully aware as to the type of service it provides. If cor-rect expectations are set, I believe

the Nimpkish can be marketed asa valuable tourism component ofthe Discovery Coast Circle Tour.

“Th e decision to do this restssquarely on the shoulders of thetourism industry and tourism op-erators who need to decide wheth-er or not they want this serviceto work, to grow and to be viablein order to capture a share of thethousands of international tour-ists looking for exactly the kind ofadventure the Nimpkish provides.”

Got that, Discovery Coast tour-ism folks? If this milk run doesn’twork next year, it will be yourfault. Heck, the Nimpkish hasfree snacks and drinks for your10-hour voyage, much of it in thedark.

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

Latest tax hike announced Th e provincial government announced its latest tax hike last

Tuesday.As has been the case in recent years, it did so indirectly. In fact,

the announcement was made by the Insurance Corporation of B.C., which plans to raise its basic rates, which all motorists must pay, by 5.2 per cent.

Th e province is expecting to get $480 million in dividends from ICBC in the three years from 2014 to 2017, and another $1.23 bil-lion from BC Hydro. Both of these massive dividend payments are on the back of ratepayers — those who have no choice but to buy electricity from BC Hydro and basic auto insurance from ICBC.

Th is is being done so the government can balance its budget and claim to be a good fi scal manager. Meanwhile, the rate increases planned by both corporations are far beyond infl ation, and are disguised as being necessary “because of more claims due to dis-tracted driving” (ICBC) and “by the need for capital expenditures” (BC Hydro).

No one doubts that there is a need for BC Hydro to upgrade its power network, or for ICBC to have enough money to pay for increased claims, whatever the cause. However, claims of balanced budgets by the BC Liberals really need to be dissected.

Th e government is not running a surplus from its day-to-day operations. It would be in a constant defi cit if it weren’t for these dividends from Crown corporations. Both of these corporations were set up to provide benefi ts to B.C. residents. BC Hydro was set up by the Social Credit government in 1961 and ICBC was set up by the NDP government in 1973. Neither was set up to be an ongoing cash cow for the government.

Th e province does get additional revenue from the B.C. Lottery Corporation and the Liquor Distribution Branch, but there is a key diff erence. No one has to buy a lottery ticket or go to a casino. Nor do they have to buy liquor. Th ose are choices people make. Th ey are free to choose not to use the services of those organiza-tions.

Th is latest disguised tax increase is unacceptable.- Black Press

Should the government

end the teacher labour dispute with a legislated settlement?

To answer, go to the home page of our website:

CURRENT WEB POLL:

Should the district take over control and

operation of the Hope Station House?

Here’s how you responded: Yes 56% No 44%

PREVIOUS WEB POLL:

It is interesting that Mr. Fassbender suggests that the reason the government won’t legislate the teachers back to work is because the teachers might begin new

litigation proceedings, after being so-legislated.

In fact, the 2002 case be-fore the courts, won twice by the teachers and count-ing, was because the gov-

ernment did not honour a contract which had been negotiated – one in which the teachers sacrificed a pay increase in order to have smaller classes.

Furthermore, Justice Griffin stated that the gov-ernment had an agenda which was clearly orches-trated to provoke a strike for political reasons. And

you wonder why the teach-ers will not trust the gov-ernment when they say “park the court case,” to be dealt with later.

I would like to tip my heat to all the teachers in B.C. Why, you ask?

Personally, the politicians of all ilk have been having their greedy hands in our pockets already for too long. It seems to me the present govern-ment is working very hard to break the lawful negotiation process once again. Looks like the government wants to go back to 1800s negotia-tion style when the workers had no rights at all.

Kind of makes this writer wonder which part of the population they are really representing.

Yukon Eric Holopainen

Regarding the teach-ers’ dispute, everyone needs a raise so give it to them.

• Class size – I don’t think it makes a differ-ence. Back in ‘52 I was a C- student. If I had 10 teachers I would only be a C student. There were only 11 in our class not 25.

• Special needs stu-dents – Our grand-son Liam just gradu-ated from high school and had a one-on-one helper for 13 years. He can’t write his name (he will always be at an age six level), but ask him about hockey or music and he has the answer.

So keep the special needs kids with regu-lar students as it’s good for both of them.

On another note, raising the speed limit on some freeways was not a good plan.

Most people now drive 10 per cent over the speed limit. On the Coquihalla (High-

way 5) that would make it 135 kilome-tres per hour. You sure would have to hang on through the snowshed tunnel. Give highway patrol 10 per cent lee-way in some cases.

Oh Art Green, the Green Party man,

thanks for recom-mending me for towncouncil. But no thanks,I like it from the out-side looking in.

Dick Gardner,The new Steve D.

This year, I would like to quote from a letter I received last February from Rolly Fox, Terry Fox’s father.

“The 34th Terry Fox Run was a wonderful success in Canada and around the world, raising close to $25 million, a gratify-ing increase over the previous year.

“Thirty-three years, 33 runs – Terry’s remarkable legacy is now sustained by Terry Fox-ers in 31 countries around the globe.

“Over the years, Terry has received touching tributes that have included the naming of schools, mountains, icebreak-

ers, statues and coins. As a Terry Foxer, you know that my son did not embark on his 1980 Marathon of Hope for acco-lades, rewards or recognition.

“What mattered most to Terry was simply that people gave to cancer research. Your remarkable fundraising effort would have left him humbled and so grateful.”

This year, on Sunday, Sept. 14 here in Hope, the run/walk will held at the Hope Airpark on Airport Road.

Registration starts at 9 a.m. and the event kicks off at 10 a.m.

People are encouraged to

run, walk, or cycle the five kilo-metre route through the scenic area around the airport. There is no entry fee, no minimum pledge and no obligation to do the whole route.

Please bring a friend, neigh-bour and a donation and make it a wonderful day out, while remembering Terry who said “Even if I don’t finish, we need others to continue. It’s got to keep going without me.”

Province breaking ‘lawful negotiation process’

Terry Fox Run keeps dream aliveAn open letter to B.C. Premier Christy Clark:As a life-long B.C. resident, taxpayer, mother,

grandmother and very concerned citizen, I ex-pect you and your government to end the cur-rent crisis in our education system.

Th e current government’s posturing and mis-representation of the real issues are unaccept-able.

Your repeated appeals of the Supreme Court’s decision shows your contempt for the very sys-tems you were elected to support and maintain.

Th is looks like trying to change the rules while the game is in play. Reminds me of schoolyard bullying. Surely we expect better from a demo-cratically elected provincial government in 2014.

Politicians should realize their time in Victo-ria is fl eeting at most.

Election to our legislature is a privilege that comes with a sober responsibility to serve all British Columbians equally and fairly. It’s never an opportunity to be partisan, parochial and self-serving.

Th e best way to develop a healthy, diverse and productive society is through a strong, cohesive and equally accessible public education system. We can’t ‘aff ord’ anything less.

Our public school teachers are a highly edu-cated group of professionals who freely give their own time and energy outside daily their classrooms to make school a safe, positive place for all our children to fl ourish and thrive.

Teachers and students need to be in the class-room! You are currently responsible and you need to make it happen.

Stop wasting time and do what you were elect-ed to do. Play fair, Ms. Clark.

ICBC seeks 5.2 per cent basic insurance rate hike


ICBC is asking regu-lators to approve a 5.2 per cent increase in ba-sic auto insurance rates.

Th e public auto in-surer said the rate hike would cost the average customer an extra $40 per year if approved by the B.C. Utilities Com-mission.

Th e rate hike is to take eff ect Nov. 1 on an interim basis while the BCUC reviews the ap-plication.

A previously ap-proved 5.2 per cent rate hike that took eff ect in 2013-14 means driv-ers will soon be paying 10.4 per cent more than they did in 2012 for ba-sic coverage.

ICBC blamed the lat-est increase on a con-tinued rise in injury claims costs paid to crash victims for pain and suff ering, future care and lost wages.

Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from fi ve years earlier. Legal and medical costs are also up.

Drivers’ rapidly growing use of cell-phones and other per-sonal electronic devices behind the wheel is one of the factors ICBC cit-ed for the rise in injury claims.

Distracted driving is the second lead-ing cause of fatal car crashes in B.C. – killing 88 people a year – and is the leading cause

of rear-end crashes that oft en cause inju-ries, spokesman Adam Grossman said.

A new campaign against distracted driv-ing is to roll out in Sep-tember.

Grossman was un-able to provide details justifying why basic rates should be 10.4 per cent higher than 2012 when the injury claim cost increase from 2012 to 2013 was only four per cent. Th e full rate hike application is to be fi led Friday.

Consumers Associa-tion of Canada presi-dent Bruce Cran said

it continues a pattern of steeper increases in basic rates on which ICBC has a monopoly but more restraint on optional coverage rates where it must compete.

He also took aim at the provincial govern-ment’s continued raid-ing of ICBC coff ers for general revenue.

Th e province has budgeted to pull $200 million from ICBC this year, $155 million next year and $125 million in 2016, down from $237 million in 2013 and $576 million in 2010.

Cran said he doesn’t

“give a damn” aboutICBC and governmentclaims the yearly divi-dends to the provincecome only from theoptional side and don’taff ect basic rates.

“We see it as one cor-poration,” he said. “Aslong as they’re stealingour money by the mil-lion by transferring itinto government rev-enues, no matter whichdivision they claimit from, we are beinggouged as a public.”

Cran called it astealth tax on peoplewho drive vehicles thatis “absolutely disgrace-ful.”

News

Drivers using smart phones and other electronics behind the wheel are getting some of the blame for ICBC’s rising injury claim costs. The auto insurer wants to raise basic rates again.

Infected horses in Cache Creek serve as West Nile reminder


Positive tests for West Nile virus in two horses near Cache Creek serve as a fresh reminder that humans could also be infected by the mos-quito-borne disease, health officials say.

“It’s not too surprising,” said deputy provincial health officer Bonnie Henry.

“But it would be the first indication we have this year of any West Nile virus activ-ity.”

She noted the two horses haven’t yet been confirmed as West Nile cases by the province. They were report-ed Aug. 25 by the Society of B.C. Veterinarians, which cautioned owners of horses against scrimping on their vaccinations.

There have been three bit-ten-in-B.C. West Nile infec-

tions among people over the years, in addition to the more than 40 other cases contract-ed out of province.

All the local infections hap-pened in 2009 in the South-ern Interior, Henry said, with

most of the positive tests of mosquitoes and birds occur-ring in the South Okanagan.

Henry said horses act as “end hosts” like humans – they don’t act as a virus res-ervoir like corvid birds and

increase the risk of transmis-sion to people.

“This is another indicatorthat West Nile virus can beout there,” she said.

“This would be the highestrisk time of year.”

Most people bitten by aninfected mosquito have nosymptoms but in about 20per cent of cases, those in-fected develop a fever, head-aches and rash. About onein 150 will experience severecomplications such as men-ingitis and about one in 1,000will die.

The best way to avoidWest Nile virus is to preventmosquito bites: wear light-coloured long-sleeved shirtsand pants, especially in theearly morning and evening;use repellants with DEETand lemon eucalyptus oil;and eliminate standing waterin your yard.

News

Th is Saturday marks the 32nd annual Agas-siz United Church Ga-rage Sale.

Th e sale has grown into a much anticipated community event, as friends and neighbours gather to hunt for trea-sures and bargains.

Many people in the community donate “gently used” items such as furniture, house-wares, cloth-ing, books, tools, toys, collectibles, antiques

and sports equipment as well as many other sought aft er articles.

Th e annual garage sale relies on a small army of volunteers who work the whole week prior to the sale to sort, clean and price items. Th e United Church Women’s group (UCW) provides a home-made baking table in conjunction with the garage sale. Others make traditional Rus-sian borscht, which is

featured at the lunch counter along with sandwiches, the borscht is also sold by the quart and usually sells out quickly.

Th e garage sale com-mittee encourages resi-dents to donate furni-ture, clothing, books, collectibles, gardening tools, house-wares, toys, sports equipment and practically any-thing that someone else can make good use of.

Visitors from all over

the Fraser Valley, as well as local residents, browse the garage sale to fi nd their winter reading material, un-earth hidden treasures, seek out furniture and discover many other household necessities along with having a great lunch and visiting with friends.

Out of print books; discontinued pieces of Royal Albert china; collectible toys; golf clubs; great jackets are

some of the many cher-ished objects carted off home. Th is year thereis a huge selection ofbuttons - lots of oldbuttons and decorativebuttons for all the sew-ers and craft ers.

Th e garage sale runsfrom 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.on Sept. 6.

B.C. eyes looser liquor penalties Jeff NagelBlack Press

Th e province is con-templating changing how it punishes pubs, restau-rants and liquor stores that violate liquor rules that ban over-serving and selling to minors.

Business owners have asked government for a more fl exible penalty system and a month-long online consultation running to Sept. 30 asks stakeholders for input on the options.

One possibility to be explored is lower or high-er penalties. According to a government discussion paper released last Friday, B.C. penalties are stiff er than most other prov-inces.

“Decreasing penalties would bring British Co-lumbia in closer align-ment with the average among the provinces,” it says, noting government must balance business hardship and the need for deterrence for public safety. A fi rst off ence for a B.C. liquor establishment typically means a one- to three-day suspension

for overcrowding and 10 days or a $7,500 fi ne for selling to a minor (the fi rst-off ence maximum is $10,000 and 15 days for serving minors.)

Alberta bars have a choice of paying a fi ne or serving a suspension – which is one of the ideas up for consider-ation – and most opera-tors there choose the fi ne, which is typically $500 to $1,500 on a public safety fi rst off ence.

Th e stiff est penalties are in Ontario, where sus-pensions of 21 days and longer are common.

Another issue is per-ceived unfairness of the current system for diff er-ent business types. Food-primary outlets can keep on serving food during a suspension, while liquor-primary bars and retail stores must close entirely.

Th at raises the ques-tion of whether fi nes are a better option, the paper

says. It adds the penalties must spur liquor violators to voluntary compliance and not be so low they’re merely treated as a cost of doing business.

Fines or suspensions get more onerous with re-peat off ences, potentially leading to licence cancel-lations. But a second of-fence is only counted as such if it happens within 12 months of the fi rst one – aft er a year the slate is clean. One option is to increase that period to two or three years, which would put more pres-sure on repeat off enders whose subsequent pen-alties would be more se-vere.

Another question asks if repeat off ences should be fi nes rather than sus-pensions. Th e consulta-tion is in response to rec-ommendations fl owing from the liquor policy review headed by BC Lib-eral MLA John Yap.

“We have been asking for review of the penalty schedule for a while,” said Jeff Guignard, executive director of the Alliance of Beverage Licensees, which represents a broad

spectrum of bars, stores and other liquor sellers.

He said a $7,000 fi ne for failing to check an ID could be a month of profi t for a mom-and-pop rural liquor store in northern B.C., but negligible to a big Vancouver bar. Guig-nard also favours some mechanism to reward an outlet’s good compliance over past years, perhaps akin to how motorists with a long crash-free re-cord build up safe driving discounts with ICBC.

Th ere were 13,415 inspections of liquor li-censees last year, result-ing in just under 400 contravention notices or nearly three per cent of inspections. But of those, less than half (171) led to enforcement action being taken. Th e most common violation in recent years has been supplying liquor to minors, followed by permitting an intoxicated person to remain on the premises.

Th e discussion paper can be found at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/lclb/docs-forms/penalty-schedule-consultation.pdf

The government’s latest step in liquor policy reform is to contemplate altered penalties for bars and stores.

Elevated levels of elements not unusual near minesMount Polley spill tests ‘reassuring’


There’s no cause for people to worry about human health risks from the Mount Pol-ley mine tailings spill despite some elevated levels of contaminants in the latest sediment tests, according to an Interior Health offi-cial.

“The results are quite reassuring,” medical health offi-cer Dr. Trevor Corneil said after the release of new tests conducted Aug. 12 and 15, adding clean water without suspended sediment that’s outside the im-pact zone continues to be safe to drink.

“The water contin-ues to be safe, the fish continue to be safe, if normal food and water practices are under-taken.”

That includes not drinking cloudy water or eating the sediment within the spill impact zone itself, where Cor-

neil said “slightly el-evated” arsenic levels have been found, along with copper, iron, manganese, silver, se-lenium and vanadium.

Elevated levels of various elements are to be expected at an ac-

tive mine, he said.Corneil noted arse-

nic is naturally occur-ring and measurable in most water sources.

Background data from samples taken last spring show there were previously el-

evated levels of the same contaminants – though not to the same extent – in Ques-nel Lake and Hazeltine Creek prior to the di-saster, environment ministry regional op-erations director Jen-

ninfer McGuire toldreporters.

She said the arsenicconcentration testedfar below a nationalguideline for humanconsumption.

Tests released theprevious week indi-cated higher levels ofselenium in the go-nads and livers of fishmeant someone whoconsumed more than acup a day of those fishorgans would exceedhuman consumptionguidelines, but not ifthey just ate the flesh.

The Aug. 4 breach ofthe tailings pond damcaused concern amongFirst Nations and otherfishery users that Fras-er River salmon mightbe contaminated.

The province isshifting to an auditrole as Mount Polleymine owner ImperialMetals embarks on along-term monitoringplan that McGuire saidis required to measureany potential impactson aquatic life.

The new UFV Five Corners facility opened with all due fanfare last Friday in Chilliwack — made possible with the pow-er of partnerships.

The new space was packed with officials celebrating the in-credible new facility, dubbed UFV Five Cor-ners, with a ribbon-cutting and speeches.

“I don’t know what to say other than ‘Wow!’ said UFV Pres-ident Mark Evered.

The Five Corners project literally “ex-emplifies” how vari-ous communities and partners united and collaborated to make it all happen, he said.

Bank of Montreal was the first to get the ball rolling after do-nating the old bank building at Five Cor-ners to University of the Fraser Valley.

Chilliwack Econom-ic Partners Corpora-tion (CEPCO) then stepped forward and donated the cost of renovating the former bank into an education and business centre.

The generous dona-tions were worth more than $1.6 million.

“This excellent and much-needed new facility is a prime ex-ample of what can be achieved when corpo-rate and community partners work togeth-er with our university,” Evered said.

The credit for get-ting CEPCO involved goes to his predeces-sor, John Jansen, said Brian Coombes, ex-ecutive director of Chilliwack Economic Partners Corp. They’re quite pleased to be a part of the newest edu-cation hub for UFV.

“We felt renovating this building was an important investment in our ongoing part-nership with the UFV,

and also with City of Chilliwack, and their efforts to revitalize the downtown,” said Coombes.

It’s something that will provide almost immediate and tan-gible returns, as well as future spinoffs, by bringing the local university right into downtown Chilliwack, he said.

The new facility fea-tures a lobby with a skylight, a classroom, a computer lab, meeting rooms, and offices in the two-storey, 7,000 square-foot space.

“We look forward to playing a vital role in the ongoing revital-ization of the historic downtown Chilliwack area,” said Evered.

Liana Thompson, director of Continuing Education for UFV, offered a glimpse of what’s in store, an-nouncing new courses in public relations and records management. It will also be available for community book-ings and meetings, programming by other UFV departments, and customized training through Continuing Education at UFV.

The building — val-ued at $850,000 — was donated to the uni-versity by the Bank of Montreal.

BMO official Mike Bonner said at the rib-bon-cutting that it was more about celebrat-ing the new campus for UFV at Five Cor-ners, then it was about the bank’s role.

Nonetheless the building that used to house the bank for more than 100 years in Chilliwack before moving to Eagle Land-ing, was “the single largest donation” ever made by BMO in B.C. outside of Vancouver.

“It was a no-brain-er, even for bankers,” Bonner said, getting a laugh from the crowd.

CEPCO provided $850,000 to renovate the building and man-aged the renovation project.

UFV provided $150,000 for furnish-ing, IT services, and other improvements. The architectural firm for the project was Craven Huston Pow-ers of Chilliwack, and they designed the new UFV facility at 46115 Yale Road at the cor-ner of Young.

Craig Toews, UFV Executive Director of Campus Planning, is happy to see the proj-ect completed and ready to welcome stu-dents.

“UFV is excited to have a presence in this new location and will be working with com-munity partners to develop programming and events that will enhance Chilliwack’s downtown. Actively engaged with CEPCO, the Chamber of Com-merce, the Business Improvement Asso-ciation, and Walas Concepts, UFV will be reaching out to other Chilliwack organiza-tions to develop pro-gramming and other uses for our Five Cor-ners location,” said Toews.

South Fraser Com-munity Futures has also partnered with UFV, relocating their offices from Abbots-ford to the new space. Thompson said they now want to hear from the community.

“We encourage peo-ple to contact UFV Continuing Educa-tion with their ideas for courses and pro-grams,” said Thomp-son. We can also offer customized contract training to local busi-nesses and organiza-tions on topics they want their employees to learn about.”

Customize cover letters during job searchGetting an interview is critical

to getting the job you are seek-ing. However, that is hard when dozens of people are chasing the same position.

In order to get there, your re-sume and cover letter need to be the best they can be. Th at is why it is so important to review them and make sure they are spot on. As career counsellors at the Hope WorkBC Centre, we get to see a lot of resumes. Many have spelling mistakes and inconsis-tent formatting. Job seekers have the idea that they need to get out

their resume to as many people as possible while spending less time developing a high quality document that is going to represent them well. Resumes need to be interesting because they represent you. Are you proud of the document that you are handing out? Is each resume you hand out customized to the position you are seek-ing? Cover letters also need to be customized to the

employer, using people’s names rather than “HR Manager” or

“To Whom It May Concern.” It is a good idea to show your re-sume and cover letter to a professional. And here in B.C. there is no cost to that at WorkBC Centres. Th ese centres are designed to help job seekers be more eff ective more quickly. If you are still seeking work aft er a year, it’s

likely that you have lost your en-

thusiasm and need to take a new approach.

Building a network and re-searching places where you would like to work are also high-ly eff ective ways of getting an interview. WorkBC staff can also talk you through an eff ective job search so that you can snag more interviews. Th ey can also help you with mock interviews so that you are practiced and ready to win your new position.

“Best Ice in BC”

Eric J. WelshBlack Press

Jason Tatarnic is a big believer in building from the net out.

One of his fi rst off season moves was the signing of goaltender Aidan Pelino, followed soon aft er by Mitch-ell Datz.

Both are 19 years old.Both, Tatarnic believes, are ca-

pable of being solid (if not better) BCHL starters. But until the pucks start fl ying, no one knows whether they’ll be closer to Mitch Gillam or Spencer Tremblay in performance.

“I don’t think experience is a huge thing for us, but I think potential is,” Tatarnic said. “We look at a goalten-der and try to see what he could be. Both of these guys have shown ex-treme potential to be solid goalten-ders. Will it happen this year? I hope so.”

Pelino, a native of Oakville, ON, comes into the preseason as the nominal ‘starter.’

His play last season at Northwood School in Lake Placid, NY, put him on the NCAA radar and he had sev-eral junior A teams in pursuit.

“He’s a bigger goalie at six foot two,” Tatarnic said, when Pelino was signed in late April. “He’s calm and positionally sound — not a guy who jumps around all over the place.”

Th at’s exactly what Tatarnic likes in a goalie, a composed player who makes the saves he should and some of the saves he shouldn’t.

Datz is the same type of stopper, and could certainly wrest playing time from Pelino if he lives up to his resume.

Th e native of Kitchener, ON, led his high school team (Salisbury Academy in Connecticut) to the New England Prep Championship last year, going 23-1-3 with a .927 save percentage.

“I want both those guys to com-pete every day in practices and games and push each other, and they’ll sort out the playing time themselves,” Ta-tarnic said. “Goalies like to get in a groove, but as coaches we’re aware that there’s rest and recovery and you can burn a goalie out pretty quick. We have quite a few three-games-in-three-days weekends, and that’s why you get two solid goalies.”

While he expects Pelino and Datz to compete and push, he also wants them to develop a friendship and work as partners.

“It’s very important for goalten-ders to have a good relationship.

Sometimes that doesn’t happen and it causes problems in the dressing room and on the ice,” the coach said. “Th eir position is very unique be-cause there’s only two of them, and it’s very healthy for them to be good teammates.”

Both netminders could face grow-ing pains adapting to the faster pace

of the BCHL. Every coach knows four points

lost in October can loom large in March.

No team in the 16 team BCHL surrendered more goals than Chilli-wack in 2013-14 — 285 goals, or 4.91 per game.

“Oh believe me, I love collecting

points early in the season, but it’s not a sprint,” Tatarnic said. “It is a long season and as long as you can see they’ll be able to get to the fi nish line, that’s the thing. If you can’t see a light at the end of the tunnel, that becomes a concern. But I think the two that we have, have the potential to be very good goalies.”

Th e Chiefs play an exhibitiongame at Hope Arena on Sept. 11against the Coquitlam Express.

A pre-game barbecue and streethockey match is planned from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Th e puck drops at 7 p.m.Admission is $7 and tickets can bepurchased in advance at the recre-ation centre.

Chiefs gear up for new hockey season

Still sporting his Northwood Prep School mark, Aidan Pelino is one half of Chilliwack’s 2014-15 goaltending tandem, along with Mitchell Datz. Their play will go a long way in determining how well the Chiefs rebound from a disastrous 2013-14 campaign. The BCHL Chilliwack Chiefs held their training camp Tuesday and Wednesday at Prospera Centre, putting returning players and prospects through the paces. The roster of the junior A team has gone through a major makeover, with new head coach/general man-ager Jason Tatarnic putting his stamp on the team. His first priority was to fix a leaky defence that caused the Chiefs to miss the playoffs last spring.
