Remembering Robbie Coulson

Kerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Robert Coulson was drop-ping off a load of lumber in Calgary when he got the news.

All he remembers is the shock of hearing that his 22-year-old son Robbie had been killed by a freight train in Hope.

“I just couldn’t believe it,” he said.

“I didn’t want to be in Calgary for an-other second. Th e company let me drop my trailer and I drove non-stop straight to Hope.”

Robbie was struck on the tracks near Fraser Avenue at about 1:50 a.m. on Sept. 5.

Th e RCMP said there’s no evidence of foul play, but al-cohol is believed to be a fac-tor.

“Hope RCMP got a call from CP Rail that a west-bound train had struck a male lying on the tracks,” said Cpl. Tammy Hollings-worth.

“Nobody knows how he ended up on the tracks and the circumstances aft er that.”

Robbie graduated from Burnaby South Secondary and moved to Hope about

two years ago to save money for acting school.

He got a job as a host at Home Restaurant before starting work at the former Movie Gallery and Hope Video Store.

Robbie performed regu-larly in school productions as a teenager and worked as an extra on movie sets, which ignited his passion for acting and directing.

He was also an avid video game player and skate-boarder.

As a child, Robbie was obsessed with superheroes.

His sister Leah, who lives in Hope, still remem-bers the day she was saved from an at-tacking dog by

her brother dressed in a red Superman cape and boots. Th e Rottweiler was about twice his size at the time, but Robbie was able to tackle the dog and return it to its pen.

Leah said she’s going to miss her brother’s positivity and outgoing personality.

“He was always extremely optimistic,” she said.

“He was always smiling and laughing and going out of his way to make sure ev-eryone was having a good time. He had this glow about him that kind of drew people to him.”

Police look to public for help catching thieves

Wire theft spikes in HopeKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Cooper wire theft is on the rise in Hope.

Th ieves have recently been targeting Telus ca-bles and leaving dozens of residents and busi-nesses without service for hours. Th ere’s been 20 incidents of Telus ca-ble theft in Hope since January, half of which occurred in August and September.

“It’s an ongoing con-cern for police,” said Cpl. Tammy Hollings-worth, adding that it’s important for witnesses to contact the RCMP immediately to help en-sure thieves are caught.

When Telus cables are tampered with, cus-tomers can loose ser-vice for up to 36 hours while technicians repair the damage. During this time residents are unable to make calls, including 911.

“It’s a serious issue. Th ese thieves are put-ting our customers lives at risk,” said Telus spokesperson Shawn Hall.

“As the price of cop-per keeps going up, the incidents of cable theft has remained steady as well.”

While a thief can earn up to $200 from a scrap dealer for copper wire,

Hall said each incident costs Telus $50,000 to restore service.

Th e number of cus-tomers aff ected by these disruptions has dropped signifi cantly over the last few years, he added, as a result of eff orts by the company’s security department, local police forces and public tips.

Another contributing factor is that Telus has replaced a lot of larger cable with fi bre optics,

which is made out of glass and plastic and therefore worthless in the scrap market.

“We’re making good progress on this issue, but there’s more to do,” said Hall.

“Really what we need is a regional coordinat-ed policing eff ort and provincial legislation that would help cut off demand for this materi-al. Th ieves don’t respect municipal boundaries.”

He said a province-

wide approach requir-ing scrap dealers to install a closed circuit television system and take identifi cation fromevery one selling metal would help give policethe tools they need to shut down bad opera-tors.

Residents who notice suspicious activity intheir neighbourhood ortampering of wires are asked to immediately contact the Hope RCMPat 604-869-7750.

News

Wire theft in Hope has increased over the last couple months as copper priceshave continued to climb. Telus cables are being targeted.

OUR PHARMACISTS DISPENSE INFORMATION AS WELL AS MEDICATION

The excess calories we take in every day get stored as fat. As weight rises, so does the

risk of diabetes. There is a direct link between Type II diabetes and obesity and some doctors feel that if we all achieved a healthy weight we could reduce the number of cases of diabetes by one-half. Diabetes is another disease that can be prevented by choosing the right lifestyle.

Calcium supplements are best taken with meals. Calcium carbonate is the least expensive form of calcium and for best absorption it needs the acidic environment of the stomach when food is eaten. If you take your

calcium on an empty stomach, use calcium citrate. It is more costly but works as well as the other.

Cough and cold season is almost upon us and it’s a good time to remind everyone about the importance of washing hands often during the day especially after blowing your nose. The contents of the “blow” are teeming with viruses and are easily transferred from the tissue to your hands and can survive outside the body for up to three days. Using soap and water is the easiest and best way to wash.

The bubonic plague (1347-1351 AD) was the worst plague ever

recorded. It killed 75 million people. It was carried by rats on ships.

Advances in public health and vaccines make this kind of disaster unlikely today. For information on vaccines and immunization, talk to our pharmacists.

Economic development top priority for council candidates

Incumbents join election raceKerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Five incumbents will be vying for a seat on Hope council this fall.

Coun. Scott Medlock has already announced his intention to seek re-election in November along with Couns. Don-na Kropp, Peter Robb and Tim Hudie. Mayor Laurie French has also confi rmed that he will be running for his second term in the district’s top spot.

All fi ve candidates have a platform that fo-cuses on economic deve-lopment as an essential part of the community’s success. Attracting youn-ger families through job creation is a key part of this plan.

“I’m the demographic this town is missing,” said 34-year-old Me-dlock, who is currently the youngest member on council. “I want to be able to do things to this community that attract my age group and their families here. What we

need to get towards is creating an industry or several industries so that people have a place to work.”

Robb believes the district was too slow in reacting to the loss of local resource jobs in the past. Hope is now faced with having to pursue a new direc-tion in order to reinvent itself, he said.

“We defi -nitely have to broaden our tax base, o t h e r w i s e the burden in the future is going to be too high

on the residential side,” Robb added.

Council will also have to fi nd creative ways to keep costs down while providing necessary community services in the future, said Kropp. She would like to see a courthouse re-opened

in Hope as well as a transporta-tion system established to service o u t l y i n g communi-ties like Lai-dlaw, Yale, S u n s h i n e Valley and Boston Bar. In addi-tion, Kropp s u p p o r t s

looking at other viable options that utilize the current Canadian Pacifi c and Canadian National railways passing through Hope.

“It’s a healthier com-munity when everybody has an option to be mo-bile,” she said.

Infrastructure re-mains a top priority for the candidates and council will continue to pursue grants for aging infrastructure upgrades. French said he’d like to revisit the pavement management plan since many roads in the com-munity are in need of repair. Hudie also wants to see an extension of sewer and water lines to outlying areas.

Th e fi ve incumbents

hope to build on the work of council over the last few years. Some of the ac-complishments they noted are the new Kaw-kawa Lake Brid-ge, revitalization of Memorial

Park, new municipal wa-ter system, and change rooms and a playground at Kawkawa Lake.

Local government elections will be held on Nov. 19. Candidates must fi le nomination pa-pers by Oct. 14.

News

Cougar sighting near Kawkawa LakeA cougar was recently spotted roaming around

the fi rst beach area of Kawkawa Lake. While there’s been a heightened awareness of the

animals this summer due to attacks on Vancouver Island, conservation offi cer Paul McFadden assures residents there’s no immediate threat locally. Sight-ings around the Kawkawa Lake area are not uncom-mon, as cougars hunt for deer, rabbits and raccons.

“Cougars are just passing through,” said McFad-den.

“Th ey’re very elusive and you hardly ever see them. If a cougar is persistent in an area that’s popu-lated, then we’ll deal with that.”

According the Ministry of Environment, confl icts with cougars are currently on par with other years. Between April 1 and Sept. 7 – the busiest time of year for cougar sightings – the ministry received 1,362 complaints. By comparison, there were 1,854 sightings in the fi scal year 2010-11, 2,242 in 2009-10 and 1,792 in 2008-09.

To date, 43 cougars have been killed this year - 27 by conservation offi cers and 16 by others such as the RCMP or public. During a similar period (April 1 - Sept. 30) last year, 49 were killed.

Cougar sightings can be reported to the 24-hour hotline at 1-877-952-7277.

Bear committee formedKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

A new committee has been launched in Hope to raise awareness about black bears.

Th e group consists of many local organi-zations and residents, including the District of Hope, RCMP, Fraser-Cascade School District, Hope Mountain Centre, Chamber of Commerce, Rotary Club, Hope Out-door Club and Cha-wathil First Nation. Th eir goal is to reduce the number of human-bear confl icts through education, cooperation and support.

“We want to increase public safety and ulti-mately the safety of the bears,” said Lydia Koot, current chair of the Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee. “It will not all happen over-night, but this is a start.”

Garbage remains a big problem in the com-munity. Koot said peo-ple are still not storing their trash properly and are putting garbage out too early, which conse-

quently attracts bears into residential areas.

“A fed bear is a dead bear,” she added. “It’s our responsibility be-cause it’s not the bears who make the garbage - it’s us. You cannot blame them for it.”

Th e committee is currently looking for volunteers to help with public education. Koot also hopes to have some funding in place soon to hire a coordinator for community-based pro-gramming.

A berry shortage has left more bears than usu-al scrounging for food around Hope this year. Th e Ministry of Envi-ronment’s Conservation Offi cer Service recorded 112 bear sightings in Hope between April 1, 2010 and March 31, 2011. Since then, there’s been over 120 reports received. Th e increase is mainly due to a cold spring coupled with the heavy snowpack in the mountains.

“It appears some of

the higher alpine berry crops may have failed and maybe won’t pro-vide the food source that the bears usually haveaccess to,” said conser-vation offi cer Paul Mc-Fadden. “I don’t know how that’s going to play out later in the year. If we get a really good cold snap and the bears arein really good shape andfattened up, then they’ll go into hibernation. If it lingers and tends tobe a little bit warmerand they have access tosalmon, then they’ll try and feed a bit longer to build up the calories they need to hibernatewith.”

Residents are encour-aged to keep their bar-becues clean, and re-move other attractants such as ripened fruit and pet food. Th e HopeMountain Black BearCommittee is workingwith Free Rein Associ-ates on a food recovery program that involves fruit gleaning.

For more informa-tion, contact the Hope Mountain Centre at 604-869-1274.

Air Force aids search for pilot An extensive search is underway for

a 61-year-old helicopter pilot that went missing somewhere between Hope and Kelowna on Friday night.

Capt. David Burneau of the air force rescue squadron in Comox said a CC-130 Hercules airplane has arrived from Winnipeg to assist 10 civilian aircraft – operated by Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA) volunteers fl ying from Chilliwack, Kamloops and Kelowna – in the search eff ort. Two military Buff alo fi xed-wing airplanes and two Comorant helicopters are also looking for the Aero-

patiale A350 helicopter that was on route from Langley to Kelowna.

“Th e weather has improved in the search area in the past couple of days and this has been a great help to the spotters in the aircraft ,” said Burneau. “Over 90 per cent of the search area has been covered by our aircraft at least once. Despite the heavily forested and mountainous areas in which we are searching, the specially trained CASARA spotters fl ying aboard military aircraft have been invaluable in helping our personnel search the region.”

However, the region being searched is

three-dimensional which means the area eff ectively doubles or triples. When sear-ching mountains, Burneay said it is oft en necessary to fl y low through the passes, enabling specially trained spotters to see the sides of the mountains and canyons.

Qualifi ed civilian pilots with an interest in helping the search eff ort are asked to contact their local CASARA organization.

Anyone travelling along the Coquihalla Highway between Hope and the former toll booth on Sept. 16, from 6:30 to 7 p.m., that saw a helicopter is asked to call 1-877-907-5040.

Th e Americanization of Canadian and B.C. politics is gathering speed now that legislated four-year terms are fi nally settling in at the federal and provincial level.

Scheduled elections are an important reform, but the down-side is that they seem to lead inexorably to constant campaign-ing. Th e latest example is the B.C. Liberal Party’s website and radio campaign directed at upstart B.C. Conservative leader John Cum-mins.

“Strange days indeed,” NDP leader Adrian Dix mused on his Facebook page. “Th e Liberals, aft er a week of nasty attacks on the NDP, launched an anti-John Cummins website. Absent a

policy agenda, the Liberals seem to want to blame others for their problems. Th is too will backfi re as Ms. Clark is again misread-ing the public mood. People are demanding substance in politics these days, not photo ops and negative attacks.”

I see nothing strange in Dix rushing to the defence of Cum-mins, who represents the NDP’s best hope for a move into the legislature’s west wing. It is a bit odd for Dix to accuse others of lacking policy, as he leads a party that has been distinguished by little other than negative political tactics since its near-death expe-rience in 2001.

Th is is almost as strange as the B.C. Liberals damning Cummins as a politician who “says one thing and does another.” Yeah, that can really come back to bite you.

Th ere hasn’t been much of an anti-Dix eff ort yet, but you can be sure there is one sitting on

the shelf, prepared for Clark’s recently-abandoned fall election plan. Th e “nasty attacks” Dix complained about were focused on his federal party’s sudden preference for Quebec seats in the House of Commons, and sniping about which Premier

Clark hired more political staff – Christy or Glen?

And it was the NDP who started the negative cycle with their own TV ad, featuring “Campbell Crunch” and “Christy Crunch” cereals, both “loaded with HST.”

(I can put to rest the ghastly

rumour that the B.C. Liberal war room will soon unleash a gang of angry, unemployed HST stick-men.)

Th e U.S. tactic of going negative early, to defi ne your rivals before they can defi ne themselves, has worked spec-tacularly for Stephen Harper’s Conservatives. Th ey scorched federal Liberal leaders Stéphane Dion and Michael Ignatieff , and public distaste for these methods does not seem to have hurt them. Th e anti-Cummins campaign has a similar style, and there are indications that it may have been produced in Toronto.

Th e website, canttrustcum-mins.ca, uses a bug-eyed photo of the former fi sherman-MP that makes him look like a ray gun-wielding alien from the movie Mars Attacks.

In fact our whole political scene is starting to look like a rerun of a bad 1990s movie.

It was Reform BC that rose

from the ashes of Social Credit, and inspired a desperate Gordon Campbell to sing country music and take a hard line on aboriginal relations, to stitch the ruptured right back together.

Cummins defi ned himself as a Reform-Alliance-Conservative MP by railing against treaties, and that continues to be the core of his thin policy book. His other two main ideas are also pure rural populism. He vows to scrap the carbon tax and suggests that municipalities should cut their costs to fund transit.

Voters will have a better idea by the end of this week if Clark’s plan for “defending and creat-ing jobs” is really new policy, or merely more photo ops.

B.C. has had its fi rst taste of California-style tax revolt. Now we have two years ahead that will be dominated by relentlessly negative, continuous campaign-ing.

Weighing homeworkThe carefree days of summer are at an end, and with the return

to school comes the dreaded homework.What is homework and how much should a child get each day?

These are common questions, and are diffi cult to answer because teachers and parents often differ on homework and its purpose.

Surveys have found many parents are worried that home-work eats into family time, and getting kids to do it is stressful. Although some parents appreciate the structure homework pro-vides, others think it gets in the way of sports and other activities, and delays bedtime.

Teachers don’t agree on the value of homework, either. Some educators view it as a way to extend learning; others see it as important for mastering skills like math or a new language; and yet others think it’s a waste of time. How much homework is sent home entirely depends on the teacher as there are no policies on homework at the district or provincial level.

There is, however, a growing consensus that homework shouldn’t be just busy work, but should help children make con-nections and deepen their understanding of classroom lessons.

Many teachers are moving towards project-based learning, in which students come up with a project of inquiry, such as analysing the value of a local stream. This would be a case where homework is useful as students get to work on a project of their own choosing.

There are many resources for parents but it’s not always obvi-ous where to go and what to do about this topic. Learn Now BC (www.learnnowbc.ca/services/homeworkhelp.aspx) is one such resource.

But most parents will have to use their best judgment when it comes to homework. If they think the quantity appears to out-weigh the quality, it may be time to make a phone call.

Re: Missing the Silver Creek Walk-er, Letters (Aug. 31)

My heart swells with pride and my eyes with tears when I read Mr. and Mrs. Wainwright’s sincere letter about my late grandfather (my Opa) Franz Zinner. I am the oldest of the grand-children. I wanted to tell you both how touched I was, how touched I am by your kind words.

Both my grandparents meant the world to me and I would visit with them as oft en as I could and call them all the time to tell them how much I loved them. When the tragic news about the passing of my grandmother (my Oma) came, my Opa tried really hard to regain himself but I don’t think we’ll ever really know how hard it was for him. He was the bravest man I’ve ever known, but the loss of my Oma took its toll.

My Opa has always been a lover of animals and they sure loved him back. He needed to know that those animals he loved and took care of were going to continue being taken care of aft er his passing. Th is was the true testa-ment of his devotion to these loving creatures.

His neighbour, the lady walker, helped to take care of my Opa in his fi nal days, and has always looked out for my grandparents – she loved them as they loved her, as I love her.

My Opa was a kind soul and he was loved by all and to know that his absence was missed and that you both were touched by my Opa means the world to me. He will forever be missed, and now I have both my Oma and Opa together again, looking down on me, on us, and smiling.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Do you think tourism development is an

important priority for Hope?

Here’s how you responded: Yes 77% No 23%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

Re: B.C. defi cit triples (Sept. 14)I am tired of reading articles by journalists who,

like the B.C. Liberals, use the defeat of the HST as a means to confuse and scare British Columbians.

Figures released by the B.C. Liberal fi nance min-istry, and widely published in the press, suggest that the HST reversal means the province’s total debt is ex-pected to reach $62.3 billion in the next three years.

I don’t believe anything the Liberals say about the HST, and here is why:

Before the May 2009 election, the B.C. Liberal government said it would not impose a harmonized sales tax.

Upon implementation, former fi nance minster Colin Hansen and ex-premier Gordon Campbell defl ected criticism of the HST by claiming the tax would be “revenue neutral.” In other words, govern-ment revenue would not increase.

Now, according to Finance Minister Kevin Falcon, government revenue from the HST is critical to the health of the B.C. economy.

B.C. teachers are being told that the defeat of the HST means there is no extra money for the educa-tion system. We are simply asking for student learn-ing conditions to be restored to previous levels. In 2002, the Liberals illegally stripped our contract of

language that limited the number of students, as well as the number of special needs students, in a class.

We are also asking for a reasonable salary increase, with the expectation that our salary will be in line with the majority of our colleagues across the coun-try.

By hiding behind claims of an increased defi cit, the B.C. Liberals are hoping to dupe the public. If we buy into the Liberal’s deceitful rhetoric, we allow them to undermine the funding of our social programs, all the time claiming to “put families fi rst.”

Lynne MarvellPresident, Fraser-Cascade Teachers’ Association

Re: Driving tourists away, Letters (Sept.7)

Since this letter was written, local RCMP Staff Sgt. Suki Manj has contacted the owners of High Hopes B&B to get clarifi cation on the situation.

He then spoke with us, got our information about what happened and contacted the of-fi cer that issued the ticket to get his side of the story.

Th e staff sergeant

called back informing us that we shouldn’t have been fi ned because those windows are legal in the United States and we are U.S. resi-dents. He then said the ticket and fi ne would be negated.

He also hoped that this didn’t deter us from coming back to Cana-da. He was very polite and we appreciate his diligence in the matter to resolve the issue.

Once again we appre-

ciate the diligence by Staff Sgt. Manj and also by the letter written by Pauline Cattrell of High Hopes. We had no re-course and we appreci-ate those two citizens of Canada for helping us out.

Th ank you again staff sergeant and Pauline. We are now encouraged to come back and visit the beautiful Hope area in Canada.

My daughter and son-in law are on the minor hockey executive. I would like any parent to take over their volunteer positions.

Th ey have four children in activi-ties. Th ey do not have the extra time it took them to listen to all the com-plaints within the executive and the hockey parents. My daughter told me that no one stepped up to volun-

teer for her position, so she agreed to do the registrar.

She spent at least three full days at our offi ce in the last week because she needed the copier and printer.

If any parent wants to criticize the volunteer parents, you should be at the top of the Hope Minor Hockey volunteer list next year.

Sharon Hope

Th is was the fi rst year for me to participate in the Hope Hustle’s dash up the Hope Mountain Lookout Trail. What a terrifi c event it is and what a really swell bunch of people that came out to participate. I just wanted to add my voice and express my gratitude to the generous folks who have developed and maintained this incred-ible trail over the years.

I’d like to give a huge congratulations to Terry Bremner, who at age 52, returned the best tim and became our new King of Hope Mountain. And thank you to Terry for donating a huge box of the plumpest most delicious blueberries I have ever enjoyed. Could

blueberries be the secret to his terrifi c fi tness and performance?

Something my per-sonal experience and this competition con-fi rms I believe, is that overall fi tness and well-being is less of an age re-lated phenomenon, and more of a lifestyle, diet, stress-management phe-nomenon. As one of the active “oldsters,” I would like to extend an invita-tion and encouragement to able-bodied Hopians of all ages, and especially the older folks to get out there and experience

our wonderful trails and nature walks. Th e Hope Mountain Lookout Trail is one of the best you will experience anywhere. You will feel and look better - guaranteed! And meet some swell folks along the way.

UBCM wants changes to carbon offset program

Green taxes on local government agenda

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Municipal leaders are gather-ing for their annual convention in Vancouver at the end of Sep-tember, and they’ll be calling for changes to green taxes imposed by the B.C. government.

Th e Union of B.C. Municipali-ties executive has given high pri-ority to a resolution from Smith-ers calling for changes to the province’s carbon off set program. Municipalities and regional dis-tricts, along with school dis-tricts and health authorities, are required to buy greenhouse gas emission credits to make their operations “carbon neutral,” with proceeds going to cleanup proj-ects such as natural gas and ce-ment plants.

Smithers council is calling for carbon off set payments to be re-tained by each local government, to use for their own building retrofi ts, fuel-effi cient vehicles or other emissions reduction strategies. Environment Minis-ter Terry Lake has indicated he is considering such a change, aft er complaints that the carbon off set program is costing cash-strapped schools and hospitals millions every year.

Th e Squamish-Lillooet Region-

al District is calling for a portion of carbon tax on fossil fuels to be directed to transit funding. Th at mirrors a proposal considered by Premier Christy Clark, who will be making her fi rst keynote speech at the UBCM convention on Sept. 30.

Resolutions from the Cariboo Regional District and the City of Colwood call for the province to reverse its ban on incandescent light bulbs, citing concern about the disposal of compact fl uores-cent lights.

Fort St. John council has a res-olution calling for fi ve per cent of B.C.’s liquor store revenues to go to local drug and alcohol aware-ness and prevention programs for youth and adults. Th e UBCM passed a similar resolution in 2004, calling for a share of pro-vincial liquor revenues to sup-port homeless shelters and detox facilities.

Th e District of Metchosin is seeking federal and provincial help to control its population of Canada geese, which has bal-looned to between 3,000 and 5,000 with considerable losses to crops. Th e resolution says geese were introduced to southern Vancouver Island in the 1950s “to provide stock for hunting pur-poses.”

UBCM delegates will also vote on a resolution to allow local governments to off er online vot-ing. Th e City of Vancouver hasa pilot program in the works for advance polls in local elections,which take place across the prov-ince this November.

Another hot topic at the con-vention will be Clark’s promise to create a new municipal auditor-general. Community, Sport andCultural Development Minister Ida Chong says the auditor will do “performance audits,” such aslooking at projects cost-shared by the B.C. and federal governmentsto see which communities used them more effi ciently.

Fewer wild fires this summerTom FletcherBlack Press

B.C. taxpayers got a break on forest fi re costs this summer, but the transportation ministry is still busy with major repairs aft er an unseasonable number of road washouts.

Th e latest closure is Highway 37A, leaving the northwest-ern B.C. community of Stew-art without road access until a bridge 10 km east of the com-munity is replaced.

Th e Bitter Creek bridge washed out a couple weeks ago aft er more than 180 mm of rain fell over two days. Several other

sections of Highway 37A were also washed out, forcing gro-ceries to be brought in by barge along with heavy equipment for repairs.

Highway 37 north of Stewart to the Yukon border has also been closed to traffi c due to mud slides and fl ooding.

Th e ministry reports that this year in the Bulkley-Stikine highways district there has been damage to 20 km of road, two bridges and eight large culverts.

Another two bridges, two large culverts and two km of road have needed repair in the Fort George district, and two km of road damaged in the

Skeena district. Estimated cost of emergency response and re-pair is $5 million for the three areas.

Heavy rains left a larger mess in the northeast of the province. A 64-km section of Highway 97 between Prince George and Chetwynd remains under con-struction aft er a 130 mm down-pour in late June caused damage to 77 sites in the Pine Pass.

Subsequent downpours in the Dawson Creek and Fort St. John areas damaged more bridges and roads, with emer-gency response and repair costs for the Peace region estimated at $38 million.

Th e Lower Mainland andFraser Valley were spared wide-spread damage during the wetearly summer.

Major events include fl ooddamage to fi ve kilometres ofHighway 3 in the Skagit Valley,and a late-June landslide thatbriefl y closed the Trans-CanadaHighway at Herrling Island westof Hope.

In the Okanagan and Koo-tenay regions there were 60weather damage events includ-ing slides, washouts, plugged orfailed culverts and bridge ap-proach washouts. Response andrecovery costs in those regionsare estimated at $18.7 million.

Dix calls for return of student grantsTom FletcherBlack Press

NDP leader Adrian Dix is calling on the B.C. government to re-

instate the student grant program it canceled in 2004.

B.C. was spending $80 million a year on grants to top up the fed-

eral-provincial student loan program. Th e NDP would reinstate a mini-mum tax on fi nancial institutions to fund $100 million worth of grants per year, Dix said.

With the next B.C. election now put off to May 2013, Dix has encouraged Premier Christy Clark to adopt his policy now to re-lieve debt that he said

now averages $27,000 for B.C. post-secondary grads.

Dix said further de-tails would have to be worked out with post-secondary institutions based on previous grant programs.

“My own view is that being 10th in Canada in student grants, doubling tuition fees, and having the highest debt loads

for students is not the direction we need to be going when we’re askingyoung people and need-ing young people to getaccess to the very edu-cation they need to fi llthe jobs of the future.”

Th e B.C. Liberals say average tuition paid inB.C. last year was $4,802,fourth lowest in Cana-da, and average student debt is third lowest.

Tour stops in Hope

Th e Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley rolls into Hope on Sunday.

Twenty-one riders will kick off the day with breakfast at Rollys Restaurant, between 6:45 and 8 a.m., before travelling up the Fraser Canyon and back. Stops along the way include lunch at Boston Bar Elementary School and a visit to Barry’s Trading Post in Yale at 4 p.m. Riders will fi nish at Telte-Yet Campsite in Hope at 5:15 p.m., where they’ll sup-port Hope police offi cer Stephanie Vokins shave her head for Cops for Cancer.

Donations raised through the annual ride allow the Canadian Cancer Society to invest in pediat-ric cancer research, and operate support programs like Camp Goodtimes in Maple Ridge that improve the lives of children with cancer, survivors and their families. Donations are also used to provide fi nancial aid for travel, accommodation and can-cer drugs. For more information, visit www.cops-forcancerbc.ca.

Correctional supervisor Steve Dickinson, who is this year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley co-captain, talks to Kylie Delorme and students at Coquihalla Elementary School last Tuesday about cancer and the upcoming ride.

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to you. Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with you to conserve energy through Power Smart.

BC Hydro will begin upgrading homes and businesses with new smart meters. Moving to a more efficient, modernized grid will create immediate savings for you, and it will help us all enjoy safe, reliable, and more affordable power for decades to come.

Here’s what you can expect:

Typically, meter installation will take place Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. PST.

Meter installers will have BC Hydro and Corix logos on their trucks and uniforms, and photo identification badges.

You don’t need to be home, as long as we have safe and clear access to your meter—please remove any physical modifications that prevent a meter exchange.

In most cases, the exchange will take less than 10 minutes.

You will experience a brief power interruption, in most cases it will last 60 seconds.

Local singer auditions for TV showKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Benjamin Neufeld is hoping to show Canada that he’s got talent.

Th e local 18-year-old singer is au-ditioning this week for the upcoming season of Canada’s Got Talent, which debuts on CityTV next March.

Th e show is modeled aft er the American and British versions, which feature a three-strikes rule by the judges. Competition is open to acts of all ages and types, including singers, dancers, jugglers, comedians, magi-cians and trapeze artists.

While he’s a bit nervous about the audition, Neufeld admits he’s looking forward to the experience regardless of the outcome.

“All I can hope for is the best and pray,” he said.

“I guarantee no one will be singing the songs I sing though.”

Neufeld performs old country, blue grass, folk and gospel music. He grew up singing in church, school concerts and at local events. Neufeld admits he quickly found a connection to the

music his dad was performing. “Old country and that kind of music

comes from the heart. It means more,” said Neufeld.

“I like to communicate through singing. I think it’s a gift . Of course you can learn it, but it’s never the same as if you have it as a gift .”

Winning Battle of the Acts at Hope Secondary School in April sparked a passion in Neufeld to pursue music as a career. While performing in front of a crowd of 500 students, he decided someday he wanted to be singing in New York’s Madison Square Garden.

“Singing is like my friend, it’s the only thing I got really,” he said. “I re-ally feel peaceful when I’m on stage. I like the feeling of applause and stand-ing ovations.”

Neufeld and his dad recently re-corded a 10-song album with Bob Tarr at Hope Secondary School, which is set to be released in mid-October. Th e duo is also planning to record a gospel CD this fall.

Th e new album will be $15 and available through [email protected].

Figure skating club seeks new membersHope and Distict Figure Skating Club skating pro Michelle Inancsi enjoys a spill on the ice with a couple of her young Canskate students last Thursday.

BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD

Barry StewartHope Standard

Two or three weeks from now, when the autumn weather has taken over in a seri-ous way, a boatload of people will slip out of summer mode and realize that things have changed. Th ey should have registered their kids in hockey, soccer or fi gure skating and it may be too late.

If this describes you, let’s get on with it. People are depending on solid numbers so they can off er programs and your kids may be just the ones to help fi ll up some spots.

Michelle Inancsi, skating pro for the Hope & District Figure Skating Club said on Monday, “If you’re going to register, please do it sooner than later, so we can maintain our ice times.”

If the numbers aren’t there, unused fi g-ure skating ice times could be given over to public skating or hockey users.

“Right now, we have about 25 to 30 skat-ers, which is pretty good for our fi rst week — but we defi nitely have room for more people,” said Inancsi.

“Canskate is always our biggest group. We currently have 15 but there’s still lots of room.”

Th e Canskaters hit the ice — sometimes quite literally — from 4:30 to 5:15 p.m. on Tuesdays and Th ursdays. Junior skaters Sarah Steberl, Sarah Isbister and Baylie Pel-legrino have their lessons before that, then stick around to help with the younger skaters.

“Th ose junior coaches,” said Inancsi. “I couldn’t run the program without their help.”

Armed with water-based felt pens, Inancsi and her helpers draw pictures or in-structions on the ice, to give visual cues to their students.

“We’ll have circuits, with skills to practice at each site,” explained the coach. “On one, they get to practice scraping the ice sideways, to erase the pictures. Th ey like that and it helps them prac-tice the stopping motion.

“We’ll also draw animals, such as spiders and get the kids to ‘stop on the spider’ or ‘jump on the spider,” said Inancsi.

Bean bags and hula hoops are used for fun games that motivate the young skaters.

“We have the kids skate while balancing the bean bags on their heads and we use them in relay races,” said Inancsi. “We also get them to skate around and pick up bean bags and throw them into hoops or other

targets. “Th ey’re practicing stop-

ping and bending down, then speeding up again — and they don’t even realize they’re skating,” laughed Inancsi. “It’s great for reluc-tant skaters.”

Th e club’s inaugural year was 1976, so this year’s car-nival will have the theme of “Groovin’ Th rough the De-cades,” with routines based on popular music from that 35-year span.

Coach Inancsi is also trained in power skating instruction and the club is

off ering Monday sessions for skaters who want to improve their hockey skills or gen-eral skating ability.

“It would be 10 sessions, with the last one being for evaluation on a timed course,” ex-plained Inancsi. “Depending on their scores,

they are awarded badges from the Can Pow-erskate program.

“We’re hoping we’ll have enough to run two groups: the beginners from 4:45 to 5:30 p.m. and the more advanced skaters from 5:30 to 6:15, p.m.,” said Inancsi.

“Power skating goes through the basics of skating,” she explained. “It improves your stride, your edge work, turns, stopping and backwards skating.

“It all depends on registration, though.”Inancsi was very appreciative of the ex-

ecutive, led by president Sheilagh Tepasse, which she said is a very easy group to work with. “Th ey handle the administrative part of it, which saves me a lot of time,” said Inancsi.

Registrar Lindsay Druet said the annual registration fees run from $305 for the Pre-school noon-hour group, up through the Junior Academy at $475. Power skating is $210 for the 10 sessions.

To help family budgets, the club will ac-cept a series of post-dated cheques.

“Th ere’s also a sponsorship through Kid-sport Canada, for families that can’t aff ord to put their kids in to sports,” said Druet. “We have a form for them to fi ll out.”

Druet can be reached at 604-869-3237.

“Power skating goes through the

basics of skating. It improves your stride,

your edge work, turns, stopping and backwards skating.”
