BC Parks has no immediate plan to reopen part of the Kettle Valley Rail-way trail near Othello Tunnels.

Th e area south of the fi ft h tunnel in Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park has been closed since May 25, when about 80 cubic metres of rock debris rushed down the mountainside. A large portion of the rubble tumbled over the bank and into the river.

“Some large boulders came down and took out about half the trail bed away,” said Tom Blackbird, acting re-gional manger for BC Parks. “Th ere was no real known cause, but it was probably vibration in the ground. I think it’s just a combination of the wet weather and the freezing over winter. When you get the ice in there it’s basi-cally making the cracks bigger.”

BC Parks is currently working on a plan to repair the damage and reopen the trail next spring. An engineer is

being brought in to review the options and provide cost estimates. Blackbird said part of the analysis includes look-ing at whether federal funding could be available because the route is part of the Trans-Canada Trail.

“It’s going to be a really expensive repair,” he added. “We’re going to have to look at some form of catching or rebuilding that lower part of the trail. We don’t know the stability of the trail bed itself, let alone the material that’s up on the slope.”

In the meantime, the area remainsfenced off due to safety concerns.Blackbird said people shouldn’t beclimbing over the rock due to the nar-row edge and unstable slope.

Inge Wilson, manager of the HopeVisitor Centre & Museum, said theclosure is having a negative impact bydeterring visitors.

“It’s defi nitely a tourism asset wemiss,” she said. “Th ere’s an econom-ic impact and there’s also an active

Arrested for Chilliwack locker room thefts

Hope woman in custodyA 41-year-old woman from

Hope is in custody and fac-ing theft charges in connec-tion with three reports of items stolen Tuesday from lockers at the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre.

Police say the woman admitted breaking into three lockers that day in the women’s change room at the recreation centre, stealing a necklace and a ring from one of the lockers, an iPhone from an-other, and a purse and car keys from a third.

Th e victim whose purse and car keys were stolen returned home and was standing on her balcony when she noticed a man and woman outside acting suspi-ciously.

Th e suspect couple called a taxi and left , apparently spooked by the sight of the victim standing on her balcony.

Two members of the RCMP Crime Reduction Unit located her vehicle, then viewed sur-veillance video at the recreation centre and identifi ed the suspect, who is known to police.

Th e CRU members then went to a residence frequented by the suspect, and located a stolen purse and insurance registration papers for the stolen vehicle.

Police said the suspect also showed the CRU members where the stolen car keys were located. Th ey were recovered and re-turned to the victim.

Th e stolen ring, an engagement

ring from a deceased husband, was also returned.

“Th e woman who had her ring stolen was absolutely thrilled to get it back as she had it for over60 years,” said RCMP Cpl. Kerry Williams, a CRU member.

Th e male seen with the accused woman is still being sought by police.

Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth encouraged victims of theft , nomatter how small, to report themto police.

“In this case, due to the victimsreporting the theft s, the outcomewas successful as property wasreturned to rightful owners andthe woman responsible for thecrimes will be held accountable,” she said.

OUR PHARMACISTS DISPENSE INFORMATION AS WELL AS MEDICATION Childhood meningitis can be a very dangerous, potentially fatal infection of

the membranes covering the brain and spine. It can be caused by a virus but the more severe form is caused by bacteria. Symptoms to watch for are confusion, leg pain, rash, neck pain or stiffness and photophobia (extreme sensitivity to light). There is an effective vaccine available that protects against 80% of the disease strains.Saskatchewan joined many oth-er provinces in Canada to ban the sale of tobacco products in pharmacies. B.C. and Manitoba are the only two

provinces that still allow the sale of these products in pharmacies. Hope Pharmasave has not sold tobacco since 1987.It was back in 1939 that the drug warfarin was rst isolated and used as a “blood thinner” to prevent blood clots in many medical conditions like atrial brillation. It is still commonly used today and has saved many lives over the years.Perhaps hundreds of thousands of doctor visits are made each year to have earwax removed. This can be done at home by simply using an eye dropper to instil vegetable or

mineral oil into the ear, then using a rubber bulb syringe and some warm water, syringe the wax out. This process can be repeated every few days. Never used cotton-tipped applicators in your ear. Whether it be a question on earwax or how a certain drug works, you will always receive the right information from our pharmacists.

Are you planning on taking holidays this summer? If you are, you will have to consider your camera equipment as part of your luggage. If you have a point and shoot, all you have to do is make sure you have batteries, a memory card and you are good to go. On the other hand if you use an SLR and you are travelling overseas there are many things to consider. If you are taking a lot of landscape shots and are used to using a tripod, you might want to look at getting a tabletop tripod instead of a full size one. Especially if you are flying. Avoid the temptation to take all your gear. I have been on trips with everything, I never used my flash or telephoto lens, and I didn’t need a tripod. Some people take their laptop computer to upload their pictures onto the hard drive at the end of the day. Laptops are heavy and if you don’t have to e-mail the pictures right away it might be better to carry more memory cards or a compact portable hard drive. Putting all your expensive gear in the carry-on can be heavy and cumbersome, but safer than your luggage. Happy holiday.

We’ll help you preserve your memories.

Pieces of historic Hope landmark will be preserved

Bridge demolition timeline setKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Dismantling of the old Kawkawa Lake Bridge is sched-uled to begin on Aug. 8.

Neelco Construction has already removed some non-structural pieces including the sidewalk, asphalt surface and part of the railing. However, the next phase must be com-pleted during the “fi sh window,” when crews are able to work in the Coquihalla River without harming salmon, sturgeon and trout runs. Th e water level also needs to drop signifi cantly be-fore then.

“Right now we’re scheduling about three weeks to do it,” said Brian Lee, Neelco’s site project manager. “We need to put some scaff olding into the river to sup-port the main span so we can take the overhead trusses off . It’s kind of a slow process and that includes all the piling that has to come out of the river.”

Th e bridge is considered both a historical landmark and tour-ist attraction because it was fea-tured in the movie First Blood, which launched the Rambo se-ries.

Despite a signifi cant eff ort by a small committee to save the bridge, town manager Earl Rowe said safety concerns prompted the district’s decision to tear it down. High creosote levels in the wood can cause environ-

mental damage when the haz-ardous substance seeps during the summer. Th e new structure is also wider and higher, reduc-ing fl ood risks and allowing ve-hicles to pass easier.

“It’s age meant you couldn’t do major repairs to it in an eco-nomic fashion that would ex-tend the life of the bridge,” said Rowe. “I received a detailed note

from the Department of Fisher-ies saying that under no circum-stances would they grant us the permit to build a new bridge without the commitment that the old one was coming off the river.”

Neelco is expected to use the wood in construction sites where creosote contamination is not a concern. Until needed,

the creosote-soaked timbers will be stored by the company in Chilliwack, at no further liabil-ity to the District of Hope.

Th e company has also agreed to preserve several pieces of the bridge that were clearly visible in the Rambo fi lm, including steel guard rails, tin facia strips and a small log on the upper span approach.

News

Neelco Construction will begin dismantling the old Kawkawa Lake Bridge on Aug. 8. Some non-structur-al pieces have already been removed, but the remainder of the work will take about three weeks.

“It’s certainly a disappointment,” she said. “Th ere’s a very recognizable drop in cyclists, not only tourism traffi c but local area recreational traffi c. Until you lose something, people don’t realize how much it’s used. Th en it’s very noticeable how much it impacts people.”

Kawkawa Lake Municipal Park slated for facelift

Playground gets new equipmentNestle Waters Canada has

donated $45,000 to the Dis-trict of Hope for the purchase of new playground equipment at Kawkawa Lake Municipal Park.

Installation of the play-ground equipment was com-pleted earlier this month, but is now open for use.

Th e popular local park also

features a sandy beach, public swimming, grassy recreational play area, boat launch, park benches, picnic tables and re-strooms.

Mayor Laurie French said the latest contribution further demonstrates the company’s commitment to working with the district to enhance the community.

“Given that 30 percent of Canadians are either over-weight, obese or susceptible to diabetes and the fact that obesity has been identifi ed as Canada’s most critical emerg-ing health issue - particularly amongst children born aft er the year 2000 - it is important that all young people in Hope have access to safe playground

equipment that aff ords themdaily physical exercise,” addedNestle president John Zupo.“Th at, combined with properhydration and good nutritionwill create the right environ-ment for healthy living.”

VICTORIA – Th e B.C. govern-ment has released its audited pub-lic accounts for what Bill Vander Zalm enthusiasts strain to depict as Year One of the Harmonized Sales Tax Apocalypse.

So let’s survey this allegedly bleak landscape of shuttered hair salons and seniors hoarding pet food, waiting for Belgian bureaucrats to come calling for more.

Retail sales increased 5.3 per cent in 2010. Growth has soft ened so far this year, but there’s no evi-dence it’s due to the HST. (Retail sales are mostly goods, which are mostly unaff ected.)

B.C.’s economy grew by four per cent, third in Canada behind those new northern tigers Saskatchewan

and Newfoundland. We beat Al-berta as well as have-not Ontario.

Th e provincial defi cit dropped by nearly a billion dollars, even though spending on government services continued its relentless rise with another billion-dollar increase. Th at’s four per cent spending growth, the same as the growth rate of the economy. But as usual, two thirds of it is health-care spending, growing closer to twice that fast.

Hair salons? My barber voted No to Vander Zalm. His accounting is simpler, his price is still reason-able and customers aren’t generally prepared to start cutting their own hair.

Restaurant association head Ian Tostenson predicted thousands of restaurants would close because of HST, and then mused about run-ning for premier. Fortunately, we were spared from both of these sce-narios.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon

put out some spin about how tight-fi sted spending control brought the defi cit down from the 10-fi gure range. Prudence, he called it. Prune juice is more like it.

It was economic growth that paid the bills, with mills and mines

opening and consumers spend-ing. Former premier Bill Bennett’s observation still applies: B.C. is a small, open resource economy in a volatile world market.

Commodity markets have strengthened to the point where even the rising Canadian dollar is being overcome. Expansion to Asia is proceeding, assisted by a long-term federal-provincial strategy

that the NDP opposed. A skilled labour shortage already exists in the B.C. northeast and is forecast to spread across the province.

Th e government’s latest labour market survey estimates that B.C. will be in a labour shortage by 2016, and there will be one million job openings by 2020. One third of these will come from econom-ic growth, two thirds from retiring baby boomers. Unlike next year’s HST revenues, this prediction is relatively easy to make with preci-sion.

Job growth does depend, how-ever, on a competitive tax environ-ment, with competition from On-tario and elsewhere.

Th e public accounts also con-fi rm what we found out last fall, that HST revenues have run ahead of expectations. HST haters like to claim the tax was promised to be revenue neutral. Th at fi nance min-istry estimate was only for the fi rst year, and it proved pessimistic. As

with gasoline prices, external forc-es drown out B.C. tax adjustments in the short term.

Currently it looks as if going back to the old provincial sales tax will cost the treasury about $600 million in revenue in each of the next few years. HST rate cuts are made up by economic growth.

Or we can return to a 60-year-old retail sales tax developed for a post-war, pre-service economy, and continue a B.C. political debate that revolves around 30-year-old socialist ideology. Th e defi cit will immediately jump back up to the 10-digit range.

So if your HST referendum en-velope is still in the bottom of your recycling bin, you might consider fi shing it out and casting a No vote. Th ey have to be delivered to Elec-tions BC by Aug. 5.

Press and BCLocalnews.comtfl [email protected]

HST horror stories fade away

Decision was disappointing

Disappointing is among the milder word that can be used to describe the province’s decision to endorse Metro’s regional waste plan, which includes the incineration of garbage.

On Monday, Minister of Environment Terry Lake gave it his approval, despite loud and sustained opposition to burning of waste – particularly from the Valley, and its regional representatives.

Th ose voices, along with a number of experts, have expressed their concerns over the known issues associated with the waste-to-energy incineration option – and more importantly, the risks that aren’t fully understood, such as the eff ects of nanoparticles and dioxins that are produced in the process.

Obviously, those arguments were not enough to cause the environment minister to axe the incineration portion of the plan, which also calls for a serious push for increased recycling and composting of household organics. Th e latter, we heartily support.

It’s not a done deal yet. Th e Metro board now has to decide whether it will actually pursue the

incineration option (little doubt there), and if so, where such a facility would be located.

Th at’s obviously key for the Upper Fraser Valley, since it’s a simple fact that the emissions from a waste-to-energy plant in the Lower Mainland will be driven into the Valley airshed due to the area’s geography.

A far better option would be a site far away from our backyard, such as the proposed Gold River alternative on Vancouver Island.

Unfortunately, given the issues associated with that – additional costs being prime among them – we again suspect we know the outcome of that discussion, should it be held at all.

Ostensibly, if Metro and the FV regional district can’t reach agreement on the matter, it will go to arbitration. Hopefully, there’s still plenty of fi ght left in this region’s politicians and concerned citizens.

Th e District of Hope is re-writing new bylaws as this letter is written.

Under the existing bylaw 33/96 if you have trees, shrubs, trellis, fencing ect. surrounding your property, they are only allowed to be fi ve-foot-nine-inches high.

Bylaws are written in the District of Hope for everyone to be in compli-ance with, and not to single out just one person which is being done to me.

When a neighbour decides I am not

in compliance with this bylaw, even though the trees have been there for 17 years, and fi les a complaint to the District, I am given 21 days to comply with this order. If I fail to comply, the District will enter onto my property and cut the trees down to fi ve-foot-nine-inches at my expense.

Th is is the wrong time of year to be cutting/trimming trees! Th ey are cut/trimmed in early spring and late fall.

If these trees are cut now, they will die due to the shock to the tree and

never mind the weather factor if it should turn hot.

Should these trees die, who is going to replace them? Th e neighbour? Not likely. Th e District? Not likely. I have 25 pyramid cedar trees that I am in risk of loosing if they are cut. Th is is a neighbour dispute and the District should never have been involved.

Most people plant these trees for privacy, so why should I lose my pri-vacy because of one individual? It is sad that in this town it is not what you

know, but who you know.Th e Mayor and councillors have all

been contacted about this situation. Th e District of Hope needs to take

a good look around this town to see how many property owners are not in compliance with this bylaw.

If this bylaw is being enforced upon me, it should be enforced on all prop-erty owners within the District of Hope.

Has the unseasonably wet weather had a negative impact on your summer

Here’s how you responded: Yes 57% No 43%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

Re: Save the Bridge, Letter in July 20 edition:

Robert Smith forgot to mention the other historic site Hope has left and possibly en-dangered because the powers that be refuse to deem it a historical building.

Th e Hope Train Sta-tion was built in 1916. People who have saved it so far have had to put their own money into it as well as rely com-pletely on donations to save it. Th ere are people who believe this build-ing is just as important historically as the Christ Church, Othello Tun-nels and the bridge.

So Robert Smith, I suggest, (like many people on the Hope Station House Soci-ety and before on the Rainbow Junction so-ciety had to do), create

a society, put money into it from your own pockets, put on fund-raisers and literally fight to keep it like has had to be done with the Station House.

Don’t expect the gov-ernment to do it all be-cause I’m positive they won’t and I know that many people would not want their taxes to pay for the upkeep.

There are many peo-ple I’ve heard talk about saving this bridge but I haven’t seen anyone do what’s actually nec-essary to try and save it.

Darlene Boucher

Face the facts. Currently 18 million Canadian taxpayers are now paying HST in the provinces that have it.

Quebec is now negotiating with the Federal Government to bring in the HST. Th e Feds will give the province of Quebec 2.2 billion for adopting the tax. Th is will add another 7 million taxpayers to a total of 25 million.

Bill VanderZalm’s protest petition of 557,383 (as per fi nal count from elections B.C.), not the propaganda total of 700,000 which had disquali-fi ed signatures, is no match to the 25 million Canadian taxpayers that are paying the hst.

B.C. has the lowest HST rate in Canada at 12% and Nova Scotia with a

NDP government has the highest rate in Canada at 15%. If the upcoming vote passes to stay, B.C. will still have the lowest HST rate in Canada.

B.C. has been the only province that has gone to the streets protesting like a third world nation, creating a good laugh to the rest of the Canadian tax-payers. Th ey realize that all govern-ments, regardless of political party, will collect taxes in one shape, form, or another.

In B.C. there is fact and fi ction. Fact is the B.C. Liberal government and the 25 million Canadian taxpayers. Fiction is the NDP, Bill VanderZalm, and Jim SinClair.

Re: A decade on, treaty no panacea (B.C. Views, July 6).

I am not Nisga’a, but I did live in Gitlaxt’aamiks (New Aiyansh) for nearly three years and the follow-ing points I had observed, or had been told by some Nisga’a people:

• Th e treaty land area is only fi ve per cent of the traditional land area, making it diffi cult for Nisga’a to ben-efi t from resource extractive indus-tries in the area. In particular, the cur-rent trend to export whole logs from timber areas makes it diffi cult, if not impossible, to generate ‘value-added employment’ opportunities.

• Because the land area is so small, it is unlikely that Nisga’a will be able to derive any income from royalties from mining activities on lands adja-cent to the treatied lands.

• Many governments, Canada in-cluded, expect First Nations people to fully fund their social service from the royalties that can be assessed against resource-extractive industries. Th e small land area, and the fact that the fi sheries were over-fi shed by non-na-tive people in the past, makes this sort

of income unlikely into the future. Th is funding burden is not placed on the general community and represents a form of discrimination.

• Governments tend to step in to over-rule or take over negotiations with mining companies. Th is means that any mining company not willing to pay royalties at the requested rates to First Nations can simply appeal to the provincial and Canadian govern-ments. Th is undermines the point and purpose of a treaty with a sovereign First Nation.

Th is over-riding of self-determi-nation in the structure and scope of the treaty is, in part, a cause of the lowered self-esteem that leads to the welfare mentality, addiction and de-pendency problems mentioned in the article. Th e treaty denies the Nisga’a the access to the resources necessary for an independent economic exis-tence.

Whilst a lot of money was paid to Nisga’a people, money cannot put the salmon back into the sea.

Growth and HST help reduce provincial deficit

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Th e B.C. government fi nished the fi scal year this spring with a defi cit of $309 million, nearly $1 billion less than what was fore-cast last fall.

Th e savings came partly from extra tax revenues generated by four-per-cent economic growth during 2010-11, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said last Monday in releasing the province’s audited public accounts. Some was real-ized from lower than expected spending in programs such as health care, and some came from extra revenues collected through the harmonized sales tax.

But Falcon wasn’t able to say exactly how much extra revenue the HST brought in during its fi rst year of operation. B.C. sales tax revenues are growing by about $600 million a year, partly due to the fact that provincial sales tax has been extended to a variety of services as well as goods.

But B.C.’s gross domestic prod-uct is growing faster than the national average and consumer confi dence is strong, so revenues from the former PST would also have grown, Falcon said. And he noted it has been clear since the HST was introduced that it col-lects more revenue because of the broader tax base.

“It is also a tax that generates greater economic activity, gener-ates more job creation, and that in turn will drive more revenues to the government,” Falcon said.

NDP fi nance critic Bruce Ral-ston said the government is us-ing “funny math” to produce a rosy picture of the B.C. economy. One reason the past year’s defi cit is so much lower is that B.C. col-lected $769 million from Ottawa, the second half of its $1.6 billion “bribe money” for adopting the HST, he said.

“People have a sense they are being played,” Ralston said. “Th ey have an agenda, they want to ram the HST through and this is just one more instance of that.”

Falcon warned that if the HST is rejected in the referendum that is currently underway, that will cost the province about $3 billion

over the next three years. Half of that is to repay the federal gov-ernment, and the rest is transi-tion costs and extra HST revenue that won’t be collected.

“We will have to manage that$3 billion hit, and the only way you can do that is either havelarger defi cits, which means bor-rowing more money and passing the bill onto future generations, or you can increase revenues, oryou can reduce spending,” Falconsaid.

Because the provincial budget remained in defi cit, B.C. cabinetministers will not receive a 10 per cent holdback to their salaries forthe 2010-11 fi scal year.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon describes B.C.’s improved economic performance in the fiscal year that ended March 31. B.C.’s four-per-cent growth was third after Newfoundland and Saskatchewan, and ahead of Alberta and Ontario.

Service before photo-opsTom FletcherBlack Press

Government commu-nications have tradition-ally been built around a stream of propaganda, with the emphasis on pictures and text ar-ranged to show the rul-ing politicians of the day in a fl attering light.

Mundane public ser-vices like permit appli-cation forms have been more diffi cult to fi nd, requiring citizens to know which ministry is responsible for which service. And less fl atter-ing information has of-ten been available only to those who demand it under freedom of infor-mation legislation.

Some of that changed for the B.C. government last Tuesday, as it un-veiled a reorganized set of offi cial websites that chooses information priorities based on what citizens are most likely to be looking for.

Th e home page of the B.C. government web-site at www.gov.bc.ca still features the smil-ing portrait of Premier Christy Clark. But it’s now as easy to fi nd a cabinet minister’s travel expenses as it is to fi nd a picture of his or her lat-est ribbon-cutting.

Services and appli-cation forms are now prominent on the main government website, based on the number of

public requests for them and surveys conducted in recent months. Fea-tures such as DriveBC and emergency fl ood updates are included in a “carousel” of most popular sites at the cen-tre of the home page.

B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham is-sued a report last year that called on the pro-vincial government to begin routine disclosure of information.

Denham said the new policy requires minis-tries to routinely post responses to freedom of information requests, and designate categories of information for rou-

tine release at no charge. She is encouraged by the fi rst step and plans to monitor the eff ort to see that it is maintained.

“Th is policy demon-strates intent by gov-ernment to adopt a presumption favouring disclosure,” Denham said.

NDP citizens’ servic-es critic Doug Routley said the changes make it easier to fi nd routine information, but they don’t do anything about search fees and obstacles used by government to keep politically sensitive information out of view. Critics have fought for years to get details such as sea lice data for salm-

on farms or the reasons for the B.C. Rail sale, he said.

“You roll a document through the cabinet room on a trolley and they call it advice to gov-ernment,” and therefore secret, Routley said.

Th e project also in-cludes a searchable pub-lic database of govern-ment statistics on more than 2,000 subjects such as birth rates, public sec-tor salaries and school test scores.

Clark said the inten-tion of DataBC is to allow independent re-searchers to fi nd new ways to use the data and contribute to public policy.

Local gallery challenges artistsAn upcoming exhibit at the

Hope Arts Gallery will show-case creative pieces inspired by assigned playing cards.

Local artists are encouraged to think outside the box when designing their submission for the show. It’s open to a variety of mediums including mixed-media, sculpture, painting, photography, pencil drawing, etching and print.

“It’s really a way of encour-aging creativity,” said Jenny

Wolpert, vice-president of the Hope Artists Guild. “One of the goals was to challenge artists to do something diff erent. It’s also to reach out to artists that aren’t part of the gal-lery.”

Entries can be dropped off at the Hope Arts Gallery dur-ing regular hours from Aug.

20-28. Submissions must be no larger than 20 by 25 centi-

metres (eight by 10 inches) or 28 by 35 cm (11 by 14 inch-es) framed. In addition, three-dimen-sional works deeper than 7.5 cm (three

inches) will not be accepted. All pieces should be clearly

marked with the artist’s name,title of piece and contact infor-mation.

Th e artwork will be on dis-play at the Hope Arts Gallerythroughout September. Th eshow opens in conjunctionwith Ordinary Miracles onSept. 3. An artists’ reception isplanned from 7 to 9 p.m.

For more information or toreceive a playing card assign-ment, email Wolpert at [email protected].

Alberta teacher helps Japan’s disaster victims

Walking for a cause

Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Steve Johnson is on a mission to raise awarenessabout the ongoing relief eff orts in Japan.

Th e teacher from St. Albert, Alta. stopped inHope on Friday as part of his Gambaro Japan! Walkfor Japan from the Edmonton Japanese CommunityAssociation Centre to its counterpart in Vancouver.

“Th rough this event I hope to provide insight,further understanding and a deepened perspectiveregarding the disaster in Japan,” said Johnson. “Ihope to encourage people to develop their naturalfeeling of connectedness to current events and totake action when they feel passionate about an is-sue, whether it be global or local.”

Aft er living and teaching in Japan for eight years,Johnson and his wife returned home several monthsbefore the earthquake and tsunami hit on March 11.Even though they didn’t have a direct connection tothe victims, they still felt saddened by the distress inthe country. Johnson launched his campaign to helpdraw attention back to the relief eff orts.

“I hope my actions will remind people that for somany, the story is far, far from over,” he said. “Ulti-mately, my hope is that a message is sent out fromthis country and from countries around the world.Not a message that they need to endure more, butrather that they receive a message of hope.”

Johnson began his journey in June with the goalof completing his trip in 31 days. He walks about40 kilometres every day through parks and scenicareas, and stops in communities along the way toshare his message.

Johnson visited Mount Hope Lookout and Othel-lo Tunnels on Friday.

To follow Johnson’s journey, visit http://walkfor-japan.blogspot.com.

DFO predicts a return of 17.5 million adult pink salmon this year

Fishermen flock to Fraser banksBarry StewartThe Hope Standard

Water, water everywhere and not a spot to fi sh.

With high water levels continuing on the Fraser, there’s plenty of room for the salmon — but hardly anywhere for fi sherfolk to stand and swing a cast. As of Monday, most of the popular bars were under water, though Nick Basok of Chilliwack Dart & Tackle said a few hardy fi shermen were braving the Haig Bar... up past their waists in their waders.

“I’ve never seen the water this high, this late into July,” said Basok, who worked for 25 years with Provincial Fisheries. “Th is presents migration problems in the canyon, because of the strong current.”

Th e late high water has been pegged as the latest in 80 years, though there were at least

two years in the last 15 where the Fraser was still fl owing high and hard well into July. Th e sports story in the July 15, 1999 edition of Th e Standard fea-tures a photo of a man fi shing from the bench on Wardle, with

water lapping around the base.Two years earlier, the high July fl ow caused

a loss of 70 per cent of a large early Stuart sockeye run, according to DFO spokesperson Wayne Saito at that time. Th ose who lived near the Coquihalla River during 1997 may remember the stench from the thousands of sockeye carcasses and the rich green slime in the lower courses of the river in the ensuing weeks.

Department of Fisheries and Ocean per-sonnel were not able to be reached by press time, so it is so far unknown if a similar fate awaits this year’s early sockeye runs.

On a positive note, Basok said there are no problems with warm water temperatures, which cause stress for the spawners.

“I can’t foresee water temperature problems this year,” said Basok, noting the cool and wet spring and summer we’ve had so far.

Basok’s other hopeful news was of a pre-dicted huge pink salmon run. Th e season opened on July 16, along with the chinook opening.

“Th e pinks don’t usually arrive until August 20 on — but we had the biggest out-migration of pink fry two years ago ... one billion plus,” said Basok.

Th e DFO Pacifi c website’s preseason fore-cast is predicting a return of 17.5 million adult pinks in the Mission-to-Hope stretch of the Fraser, which Basok said is the richest pink salmon rearing area in the world.

Th e DFO site sets the 17.5 million mark with a 50 per cent probability level and adds, “Th e forecast has a range of 11.8 to 37.5 mil-lion.”

While any opening for a sockeye sports fi shery is yet “to be determined” by the DFO, fi sherfolk are crowding their way into the limited spaces along the upstream end of Wardle Street.

Rebecca McDonald of Cheyenne Sports said she heard from local fl y fi sherman, Steve Schroeder, who ventured past the 600 block of Wardle on the weekend.

“Steve said he took a look at Wardle and they were fi shing three feet apart. It was an absolute zoo,” said McDonald, who fi gured the store has perhaps sold 50 to 100 salmon licence tags so far, since the opening of the season.

Coworker Levi Yliruusi said he had talked to one local who said he had caught nine chi-nooks so far.

Th e limit for chinooks has been one per day in the 30 to 77 centimetre range, but this will expand to four per day on July 29, with one over 50 cm and three under 50 cm, the latter being immature males or “jacks.”

Yliruusi said the limited Wardle bar is theonly accessible bar for people who don’t havea boat.

“Even with a boat, it’s a little sketchy, be-cause there’s a lot of debris fl oating through,”he added. “Th e Rupert Street bar has no ac-cess to the beach yet but that should improvewith the water going down.

Yliruusi said there are people using a varietyof techniques in one small area at Wardle.

“Th ere are some guys with spoons, somedrift ing, some bottom bouncing and othersbar fi shing.”

Access should improve in the comingweeks, with receding water levels. In themeantime, you might get more elbow roomat creek mouths from Laidlaw to Yale, whereyou can try your luck with a spincast spoon.

Darius Retaskit and his dad, Bill, enjoy a successful fishing afternoon at the Wardle Street bar last Thursday. BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Beautifully fi tted galley, built-in freezer and sep. fridge. Roller furling jib, staysail. main and storm sails, most about two years old and immaculate. All rigging stainless. Engine room to eat from, new Kubota 67hp diesel gives 6 knots at about 1600 revs. Wagner autopilot: the best steers-man on board. Radar. Bunks for eight; luxury for two. One electric head. Two ninety-gallon stainless water tanks and a 65 gallon utility tank. Ready to sail with complete charts and GPS, fuel in tanks, and the best moorage in West Vancou-ver. This is one of the ferro boats worth seeing. Photos on-line through Harbour Yachts, Fisher-man’s Cove, West Van. Comes with dinghies etc., new life jackets, too much to mention. Was $140, now $90.
