Hope park project hits red light Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Development plans for Hope Community Recreation Park have been temporarily put on hold. Council passed a recommended resolution last Thursday directing staff to work with stakeholder groups to determine new priorities of work for the park, within current resource limitations, no later than Oct. 31, and bring these new priorities to council for endorsement. “It’s clear that there has been a lot of controversy and stakeholder groups are concerned over the lack of agreement in the process,” said chief administrative officer John Fortoloczky. “I know that you will never get 100 per cent agreement from the stakeholders and the public, but we can probably do this a better way or a less
controversial way.” Council approved the Hope Community Recreation Park concept design in April and directed staff to undertake remediating the venue seating area as the immediate priority. In addition to safety and liability concerns, this aspect of the project was chosen because Hope Motorsports Group had acquired 1,500 donated no-post barriers to reinforce the terraced seating area and increase spectator capacity at the Sports Bowl. The district committed to using them in the project design, however, the installation work was put out to tender. This request for proposals (RFP) has now been cancelled, but can be restarted if required at a later date. Fortoloczky said stakeholder groups have recently raised concerns about the design, the ability for locals
to bid on the job, the perceived lack of communication, and the Sports Bowl seating area as the priority. “It is the most complex and quite frankly the most expensive aspect of the park,” he explained to council. “In one way, it would have been nice to tackle that first, however, such a large amount of concern has been shown. Thanks to that and the way it’s been approached, maybe you should reconsider that.” Coun. Gerry Dyble expressed her confusion over the current status of the project. She said her understanding was that all stakeholder meetings had been done, priorities were identified, and development plans were moving forward. “I’m feeling that this process is undermining what we directed staff to do and I’m not comfortable with that,”
she said. Coun. Donna Kropp also noted her disappointment over the situation, pointing out that several directions have been given to staff and it doesn’t appear that any of them have been followed. “I want to see what council passes as a resolution followed through to the end,” she said. “I don’t know why there’s such a huge miscommunication, but I am not in favour of revisiting priorities.” Kropp pointed out that user groups have met and discussed the priorities already many times. She said the direction they gave on the seating area upgrade and the things that were agreed upon, such as grass instead of gravel and fences for safety, have not been done or followed through.

Hope Flight Fest is once again bringing the world of aviation to the community of Hope. This year’s event on July 13 kicks off with a pancake breakfast hosted by the Hope Rotary Club from 7:30–10 a.m. Kids games, activities, and rides will run from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. There will also be Hope Mountain Market vendors, a Trails Crossing Friendship Centre information table with crafts, Cooper’s Foods barbecue from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Radical Raptors display featuring birds of prey in action. “The Flight Fest helps us raise awareness and generate increased interest in aviation and the Hope Airpark,” said Tracy Mayers, acting chair for the Hope Adventure Flight Society.

Hope Flight Fest returns to Hope Airpark this Saturday.
The non-profit organization organizes Flight Fest as part of its mandate. Mayers said the goal of the Society is to educate the general public and school children about aviation, while providing families with an entertaining and affordable special event that celebrates all aspect of flight. Valley Helicopters will be offering rides for $30 and
Fly Gravity Sports will have an exhibit on the art of hang gliding. “It is a chance for people to come out and see their Airpark in action, while having fun and learning about aviation,” added Mayers. COPA for Kids is also returning this year, which provides pre-registered children between the ages of eight and 17 with the
chance to fly in a fixedwing aircraft for free. “The Flight Fest and COPA for Kids offers children a unique opportunity, one that they do not often get the chance to experience,” said Reg Hunchuk, Captain of COPA Flight 127 and one of the pilots that will be taking the children flying during the Flight Fest. “COPA provides children with a motivational experience, while generating an interest in aviation.” Following the flight, children receive a certificate with their name, the pilots name and the type of aircraft they flew in. They also have their name listed in the COPA log book. For more information, call 604-869-2819 or find the Hope Flight Fest page on Facebook.

you didn’t get the feedback that you were looking for was because we didn’t get into one room and have conversations,” he told Fortoloczky. “We didn’t get to explain what our problems and concerns were, and we didn’t get to hear what others were. I think if that conversation had happened, greater ideas would have come out of that meeting.” Moving forward, both Kropp and Medlock hope the district re-examines how the RFP process is handled. There are concerns that the current RFP limits the ability for local contractors to bid on the project since they can’t afford the performance
and insurance bonds. Fortoloczky said these safeguards are put in place to “ensure greater performance for the ratepayers to ensure the job is done correctly.” The district was awarded a $463,300 B.C. Community Recreation Program Grant in March 2012 to help improve Sixth Avenue Park in order to increase the overall health and wellness of residents. The project includes upgrades to the Sports Bowl, picnic area, trail network, and skate park. There’s also plans to create a bike skills area adjacent to the arena, bout win bike track, disc golf, mud pit/drag area, and off-leash dog area.

Cash mob organized in Hope Hope Standard
Hope had its first ever cash mob on Friday at Jungle Juice. Inspired by a flash mob, the goal is to encourage people to support small local businesses through coordinated sales. As a result, both local businesses and the community can benefit from the economic stimulus. “I thought it sounded like an interesting social experiment for a more rural community,” said organizer Donald Stokes. “There’s some good things locally and some of them just need to be exposed. This gets folks out to try some of the local businesses and support them. At the same time, they can meet some other Hope residents.” Jungle Juice owner Naydeen Spencer wasn’t sure what to expect with the first cash mob in town. She said the event was a bit quiet with about 10 people
showing up, however, it did attract new customers. “I think it was a good educational thing for those Hope people who hadn’t been here before, she said. “It’s a good opportunity for the small businesses to have this and it’s good for people to broaden their horizons in Hope. I think as time goes on, it will catch on more. You just have to get the word out.” Stokes said he plans to organize a monthly cash mob in Hope. Each business is contacted in advance and agrees to participate. The first cash mob event was organized by blogger Christopher Smith at a wine shop in Buffalo, NY on Aug. 5, 2011. More than 100 people turned out to purchase items from the merchant that day. For more information on upcoming local cash mobs, visit the Hope BC Cash Mob page on Facebook.

Concert lineup features four acts Four performers will take over the Memorial Park stage this Saturday as part of the Summer Concerts in the Park series. The concert will feature Taylor Bellows, The Four Tunes, Thomas Jones, and Hope Community Choir. Bellows is a 16-yearold singer from Hope who recently won three awards at 2013 Chilliwack Lions Club Music and Dance Festival. She took home first place in the pop category, second in the folk song category, and was awarded a trophy for her overall vocal performance, beating out five other competitors. The Hope Secondary School student has been performing for family and friends for as long as she can remember. She started taking vocal lessons when she was 12 years old, and brought home gold and silver from the Chilliwack Lions Club Music and Dance Festival that year. Bellows also attended a music festival in Vancouver last year, where one of her performances landed her second place. She has been training in folk song, classical, and contemporary pop. One of her biggest musical influences is Michael Jackson.

The SPF number on sunscreens is a measure of how much UVB (sunburn-causing) radiation it blocks. Theoretically, a lotion with an SPF of 15 blocks about 93% of UVB rays. An SPF of 30 blocks about 97%. If you have fair skin and burn quite easily, that extra 4% will provide extra protection. However, the important point about sunscreens is to reapply after swimming or if you sweat a lot.

More costly BC Hydro work needed Tom Fletcher Black Press
Costly upgrades to old dams are not enough to prepare BC Hydro for a major earthquake, and electricity rates will continue to rise as upgrades and expansion continue. Energy Minister Bill Bennett acknowledged last Thursday that further rate increases will be needed to finance improvements to the vast hydroelectric network and pay debt on works already completed or underway. “My job will be to restrain the increases, but there’s no way we can continue to sell power to customers, whether they’re commercial or industrial or residential, at the rates that we’re selling it right now,� Bennett told reporters at the legislature. NDP critics focused on a disaster
preparedness audit commissioned by BC Hydro last year. The PricewaterhouseCoopers audit reported in December that BC Hydro is at high risk of a prolonged power outage after a major earthquake because of a lack of coordinated emergency plans. “BC Hydro is not adequately prepared to react, respond and recover from a widespread catastrophic event such as an earthquake as there is not a mature or integrated preparedness program,� the audit states. Bennett said BC Hydro has enough staff to improve disaster planning, so that shouldn’t represent a big cost. On that point at least, NDP energy critic John Horgan agreed. “What the report says is that BC Hydro is not prepared,� Horgan said. “They don’t

have any continuity plan for their business to continue. It’s not about money, it’s about being ready.� BC Hydro spokesperson Simi Heer said the corporation is responding to the audit by accelerating its province-wide emergency response strategy, improving staff training and participating in emergency exercises. Regional
emergency operations centres are planned in locations including Port Alberni, Campbell River, Nanaimo, Victoria, Burnaby, Maple Ridge, Prince George and Vernon. BC Hydro is spending about $2 billion on seismic refits of two of its oldest dams, the John Hart dam at Campbell River and the Ruskin dam on the Mission-Maple Ridge
border. Its current expansion project, the Northwest Transmission Line from Terrace to Iskut, was revealed last week to be $140 million over budget. In April 2012, the B.C. Utilities Commission imposed an extra 2.5 per cent rate increase, bringing the rate increase for the year to seven per cent. That followed a costcutting review of BC Hydro that eliminated 700 jobs in an effort to keep the rate increase below four per cent. The BCUC intervened after former auditor general John Doyle found $2.2 billion of deferred debt, and forecast that would grow to $5 billion by 2017. Doyle said one reason the utility was piling up debt was to pay an annual dividend to the B.C. government. In 2011 that dividend was $463 million.

Pedestrians hit by SUV in Harrison Hot Springs Jessica Peters Black Press
Three people from one Abbotsford family are recovering from a bizarre crash in Harrison Hot Springs on the weekend. The incident occurred at about 1:20 p.m. Sunday, at the main intersection along the beach front, where Hot Springs Road meets Esplanade. RCMP said on Monday morning they are still trying to piece together what happened. A family of four was crossing the intersection at the crowded plaza. A fresh air concert was taking place just metres away, up on the grassy promenade, as part of the Harrison Festival of the Arts. A small car stopped to let the pedestrians pass, but was reportedly rear ended by a Toyota SUV. The SUV then drove over the car, became airborne, and ended up in the concrete plaza. Hundreds of people were in the area at the time, and either witnessed or heard the crash. Many rushed to the scene to investigate. While there was the potential for chaos, Agassiz RCMP Stuart Falebrinza said “a lot of people were there doing all the right things until the emergency responders could arrive.� He confirmed the driver of the SUV, a 27-yearold-male, was arrested at the scene and they are proceeding with a charge of impaired driving causing bodily harm. Of the three victims, he said they are recovering from their injuries, and that the father, 51, will need surgery. The mother, 37, has serious injuries “but is doing alright.� The couple’s son, 13, was also hit, but is recovering, Falebrinza said. The couple’s 16 year old son managed to jump out of the way of the vehicles. He said police are still trying to determine the exact details of the crash. While there were many witnesses, “everyone sees things slightly differently.� “But we have some really good evidence,� he said. “With several hundred people reported to be in the area, we are thankful that the family survived and no one else was injured or killed,� added Constable Cynthia Kershaw.

Spend the millions now to prevent billions of dollars in flood losses. This was the message delivered by former mayors of Chilliwack, Abbotsford and District of Kent who came together last Wednesday in Chilliwack to warn people that this part of the Fraser River is particularly vulnerable to flooding. “Not enough” is being done, by all levels of government they said, to protect property, utilities and infrastructure from sudden, massive flooding, like that seen recently in Calgary and High River. Catastrophic flooding in Alberta was the catalyst that prompted the retired mayors to meet over coffee at Jimmy’s restaurant across from City Hall, calling for a coordinated, and multi-stakeholder approach to flood prevention. “Every year we kind of get lucky,” said John Les, former Chilliwack Mayor, as well as a former MLA and cabinet minister. “But one of these years, a storm is going to just keep on coming.” Les was B.C. Solicitor General the last time Chilliwack had a serious flood scare in 2007. The computer modelling indicated a serious problem was on its way. The water was rising and only a big rainstorm abruptly changing directions, and heading north, saved the area from flooding, he said. But Chilliwack could end up with 26 feet of water again, like it saw during the flood of 1894. “No one is saying that can’t happen again,” Les added. The Calgary situation brought all the local challenges to light again. Some might suggest the stunt was motivated by support for gravel removal from the Fraser, where no gravel has been removed since 2010. Is it still all about gravel? “That is only part of it,” replied Les.
Notice of Blasting To all area Residents: In the coming weeks Emil Anderson Construction in conjunction with JJM Construction Ltd. will be Drilling and Blasting solid rock as part of the Hope Landfill works. Starting June 18, 2013 blasting may occur Monday to Friday between 9 am and 6 pm.

Blasting should conclude on or before August 2, 2013. JENNA HAUCK / BLACK PRESS
Former Fraser Valley mayors (from left) George Ferguson, John Les, Sylvia Pranger, and Clint Hames meet to talk about the ongoing threat of flooding in Chilliwack and the surrounding area.
What is needed is better threat assessment studies, more dike upgrades, and more efforts to protect the bridges, highways, power lines, railway lines, and pipelines that crisscross the region. Former Abbotsford Mayor George Ferguson said he remembered the devastation of the Flood of 1948, when it took three months just to get the power going again. “Today if we don’t have power, we’re dead,” he said, adding the pumps wouldn’t work to pull the water away. They’re not pointing fingers at anybody, they’re being proactive, Les said, because of the incredible destructive power of the mighty Fraser River. “Calgary should serve as a bit of a wake up call for all of us,” he said. After former Kent Mayor Sylvia Pranger volunteered in the wake of the Red River flooding in Manitoba, and it changed her profoundly. “I vowed I would never stop fighting for better flood protection here,” she said. Pranger remembered moving to Agassiz and watching the fishermen lined up along the river, while at the same time gravel was being hauled out of the river just upstream.
Former Chilliwack Mayor Clint Hames said it is the special morphology of the Fraser River at Chilliwack where the river narrows and the big rocks drop off, heading into the Gravel Reach, that makes the area more vulnerable. Every year an estimated 230,000 cubic metres of gravel wash downriver and get deposited in the area. “We are more at risk than say, Surrey,” Hames said. Gravel removal can be done right on the Fraser, at the right times and in the right locations, he said. There’s no reason why the Fraser can’t have a gravel management program, like the one on the Vedder River, Hames added. Ultimately what form of collective action can be taken to avert disaster is not yet known, but the former mayors said they are willing to help the effort in any way they can. City of Chilliwack lobbies the province every year for flood mitigation funding, and makes $400,000 contributions annually when other governments chip in. Chilliwack has spent about $9 million on dike upgrades, along with senior levels of government, in the past 10 years, covering 20 km or close to half of the diking system. Another $2.3 million
was recently approved for dike work on Young Road north, and city staff keep on top of a flood response plan, and an emergency dike upgrades plan. Almost half of the Fraser River dike system in Chilliwack has been upgraded to protect against a 1 in 500 year flood event (eg. 1894 flood of record), and the remaining sections offer protection up to about a 1 in 200 year event (eg. 1948 flood, second largest on record). Part of the challenge is that the provincial flood protection program is underfunded, does not cover engineering studies, and can’t cover all the flood protection projects required across B.C. The former politicians are not being critical of current local government leaders. “Rather, we want to support them,” Les said. “Little, if anything, is done most years to manage the river. Some go so far as to say it should be left alone,” said Les, referring to the anti-gravel removal movement of conservationists espoused in the book, Sturgeon Reach. “That type of thinking will ultimately lead to disaster. As former Mayors we want to continue to lend our support to an active flood prevention program. If the Fraser were to jump
its banks, the consequences would be too horrible to contemplate.”

Our history is already punctuated by two momentous floods, one in 1894 and another in 1948. Since then an extensive flood mitigation system has evolved around the city. That system has helped us dodge smaller (but nonetheless significant) flooding events that could have damaged property and endangered lives. Just last year property outside the city’s dike network was under water as the Fraser River breached its banks. And few will forget the sandbagged utilities and packed public meetings in 2007 when the waters inched toward the top of the city’s dikes. This year, the Fraser has remained relatively tame. But as a group of former mayors said last Wednesday, it’s not a matter of if the Fraser will once again threaten, but when. They are not being alarmist; they are simply voicing a reality made all the more clear by the devastation seen in so many parts of southern Alberta. In Calgary alone, the repair bill for the city’s damaged infrastructure is expected to top $265 million. The towns of High River, Canmore, Bragg Creek and the Siksika First Nation are all facing proportionate costs as they rebuild. But the financial impact isn’t in reconstruction alone. Indeed, banking and insurance firms estimate the total economic damage could be $3 billion to $5 billion, with a wounded GDP for June and July and $2 billion in lost output for the entire Canadian economy. History suggests the Fraser River poses an even greater risk. Although much has been done to lessen that risk, a diking system is only as strong as its weakest point. That’s why the regional approach to flood risk mitigation must be pressed. It’s been talked about for years, but there remain obstacles and cross-jurisdictional challenges that have slowed progress. As the former mayors pointed out, it’s time to get on with it. The threat of another major flooding event only grows with time. And as they reminded us this week, either we pay now, or pay later. - Black Press
Get ready for Hydro hikes B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher There’s a new sheriff in town for BC Hydro, and it didn’t take long for the political range war to resume. The new sheriff, Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett, found himself on the barricades as soon as he got the hugely complex responsibility for energy and mines. His saddlebags bulge with reports on BC Hydro’s seemingly runaway costs, along with Premier Christy Clark’s “core review” to cut $50 million a year from government operations. NDP energy critic John Horgan highlighted the latest BC Hydro troubles in his assault on the B.C.
Liberal budget. First there was a $140 million cost overrun on the Northwest Transmission Line, under construction north from Terrace to the tiny Tahltan village of Iskut and adjacent mine properties. Then BC Hydro revealed results of an audit of its earthquake preparedness. “Condition red” was the key message. Basically, the sprawling utility has disaster plans for each of its dams or other power facilities, but no overall way to get the provincial power grid back up after a major earthquake. Horgan recited his list of BC Hydro sins after a decade of meddling by the BC Liberals: huge deferred debt revealed by the Auditor General, enormous liabilities for private power contracts, and more rate increases that Bennett has already admitted are on the way. And now they can’t even keep us safe

from the big one. Bennett fired back. About $2 billion of that debt is for seismic upgrades for the 80-year-old Ruskin Dam in Maple Ridge, and the equally frail John Hart Dam on the Campbell River, built with wooden water pipes. Major BC Hydro works slowed down after completion of Revelstoke and Mica dams in the 1980s, and now the work is more expensive. The Northwest Transmission Line is a partnership with Imperial Metals, which wants to power its Red Chris copper-gold-silver mine. Bennett said the company is not only paying for the last section to Iskut and the mine site, but pitching in for the main line as well. Ottawa paid $130 million to get remote communities off decades of dependence on diesel generators. AltaGas, owner of one of those
Standard
private power projects in the region, puts in $180 million to get connected to the grid. The line will open up more mining and hydro possibilities. The cost overrun traces back mainly to the shortage of high-skill labour such as geotechnical engineering that the remote region already faces. And this is before natural gas pipelines and LNG plants gear up. Bennett takes over from the last sheriff, Rich Coleman, who put BC Hydro through the wringer in 2011. Coleman soon abandoned his idea of putting off the Ruskin and John Hart upgrades (again) to keep rates low through the election, and saw the B.C. Utilities Commission jack up the rate increase to seven per cent to help slow the ballooning debt. What’s ahead for rates? The util-

ity is looking for 32 per cent in the next three years, says energy lawyer David Austin. He calculates that only 2.5 per cent is attributable to increased private power costs. Among other things, BC Hydro needs regional emergency centres capable of functioning after a Japan-sized quake, plus expansion. Bennett came clean on another reason for rate increases – the government’s increasing dependence on taking a “dividend” as BC Hydro’s lone “shareholder.” The newly updated budget tells us this annual “dividend” is past $500 million and rising fast: $545 million this year, $611 million next year and $684 million the year after.

Hope Standard Thursday, July 11, 2013 A7
Taxpayers are expected to foot the bill Re: Mayor responds to local concerns, Letters (June 27) There are two items in Mayor Johnston’s response that I’d like to address. First, she claims “We have just the right amount of staff that we need and require…” I don’t know how she arrives at that conclusion. Bureaucrats and their support staff never fail to use up all available time. There is no end to reading and
writing reports, seeking and giving opinions, evaluations, consulting with experts, investigations, arranging and attending meetings, etc. In the end, most decisions, if any, are made collectively so no one is responsible if something goes wrong. All are extremely busy and there are never enough people. That’s just the nature of bureaucracies. The taxpayer is expected to foot the bill, but has no control. Only the elected
politicians can exercise it, but if they think everything is just fine we’re truly in trouble. Finally, Mayor Johnston points out how little council gets paid – “… not much more than it takes to cover our expenses…” I’m sure they knew what the remunerations were before they stood for election. In any case, they’re sure to rectify this in short order since they can vote themselves an increase. Who but
politicians can do this? Having said all this, I understand that politicians are between a rock and a hard place. On one hand are disgruntled taxpayers, many on fixed incomes, and on the other hand unionized workers whose inflated wages and benefits are negotiated in Victoria and trickle up to every supervisor and manager. I’m glad somebody is prepared to take on this thankless job. H. Schmid
Town hall meeting could offer better insight Re: Mayor responds to local concerns, Letters (June 27) I appreciate your response in The Hope Standard and agree that certain tax increases are inevitable. I also agree that providing tax incentives for business is a reasonable approach to stimulating improvements and enticing other business to the community. That said, I am deeply concerned as a recent arrival that I may not be able to afford to live in my new
home on my retirement income if this approach to budgeting continues; even small increases will hurt some seniors and low income homeowners. In fact, it has already created hardship for some of my neighbours. I would like to ask, and hopefully get a reply (something that has yet to happen with any of my emails to the town hall employees) about future plans for capital expenditures,
staffing levels, salary ranges etc. As for council salaries the amount paid, in the big picture, is quite negligible. That said, there is much discussion due on the number of council members and their length of service. Government is not a career, it is a civic participation. Ideally council should be refreshed every few years -- otherwise the status quo becomes ingrained and change (progress) is often the
victim, which I fear may be the case with Hope. A small item may be travel expenses – there is always room for improvement particularly in this day and age of email, telecommuting/conferencing. I would like to suggest a town hall meeting to address some of the current concerns and get a better insight into the council’s plans for the coming year(s). Stan Kirkpatrick
Damage from oil spill would be catastrophic for Hope This letter is in regard to the two recent oil spill incidents that occurred last month on the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline near Merritt and Hope. The most recent oil leak on June 27 was sparsely covered by CTV News. A reporter mentioned the leak was east of Hope,
close to the Coquihalla River but that no oil had reached the banks of the river. Yes, we dodged the bullet that time. I’d say Kinder Morgan is gambling with our present and future supply of drinking and recreational water. These recent incidents should be more than a warning call to our elected of-
ficials to invite a town hall meeting to specifically discuss what action should be taken to force Kinder Morgan to upgrade its existing 60-year-old pipeline to comply with today’s more stringent safety standards set by the National Energy Board. For example, this would require the doubling of pipelines
to 1/2” thick where it crosses over or under the Coquihalla River and installing shut-off valves on each side of the river along with the containment tanks. This would ensure that if a major spill occurs it would not flow into the Coquihalla River and make its way to the Fraser River. Officials have estab-
lished a response time of one hour to have emergency and cleanup crews on the spill site. When you consider that there could be up to three barrels of oil per second flowing through the existing pipeline at twice the pressure of a fire hose and, if a major rupture occurred, it equates to 120 gallons per second
or 454 litres per second and multiplied by 60 seconds equals 24,254 litres per minute. Multiply that again by 60 minutes and you have 1,622,547 litres of oil entering the land and water in just one hour. Considering the nearest shut-off valve may be five miles up stream from the Coquihalla River, this

Media needs to find out true facts behind BC NDP theories Re: NDP at a crossroads, Editorial (June 27) The writer of this editorial has proven to me that he/she knows nothing about the BC NDP; and, like many media outlets in B.C., are very quick to criticize the BC NDP despite the fact that they often know nothing of the true facts behind their theories. For example, the editorial claimed that “the NDP has much to fear from the Greens, who appeal to many younger and environmentally-minded people.” The truth is that the NDP has little to fear from the Greens because, once you truly examine both party’s written principles, you will see that it is the NDP alone that has many principles based on sustainable environmental principles. The NDP is the
“Original Green Party” and has been for over 60 years. The Black Press editorial then went on to claim that the NDP has “difficulty moving beyond its massive debt to organized labour.” This is pure nonsense. What massive debt? I have yet to see it. The NDP is supportive of free collective bargaining and realize that 90 per cent of all of the
progressive legislation in this country originated from the labour movement. However, this does not mean that the NDP has been bought from labour unions. Why don’t you write about the “massive debt” that the BC Liberal Party owes to large corporations. You conveniently ignore this fact and continue to spout this big “Liberal
Lie.” You then suggest that the NDP has a choice of either moving to supporting economic development or towards the environmental side. If you knew the simple basics about what the BC NDP stands for, you would know that environmental sustainability and economic development are not mutually exclusive.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
LAST WEEK WE ASKED:
Do you think the Sports Bowl seating area should be the first priority for the Hope Community Recreation Park?
Have the recent pipeline leaks made you more concerned about Kinder Morgan’s twinning proposal?
To answer, go to the home page of our website: www.hopestandard.com
Here’s how you responded:
Yes 53% No 47%
If you do not know what the BC NDP stands for, why don’t you simply ask them? This is highly preferable to a “shot in the
dark” and simply repeating the right-wing mantra that many media outlets are accustomed to. This does a disservice to your
readers and in simply highly inaccurate. It is no wonder that the Liberals easily won the last election. Dick Harrington

It’s summertime, and (apologies to George Gershwin) the readin’ is easy! There are lots of Summer Reading Lists kicking about – Oprah, on Goodreads, in The Globe and Mail, and as part of the innumerable lists in our own FVRL Bibliocommons catalogue, just to name a few. All have great lists of easy reading for the summer. Kristin and I have created a “Staff Picks” section at the library for the summer months. You’ll find our favourites – Joyner’s Dream (Sylvia Tyson), Astray (Emma Donoghue), The Sisters Brothers (Patrick deWitt), Maya’s Notebook (Isabel

Allende), and more. We both intend to do some serious summer reading as well. Right now I’m finishing Mary Roach’s latest, Gulp – a wild romp through the alimentary canal, from mouth to stomach and beyond. So far, it’s been hilarious with lots of “Really? Did not know that!” moments. Next up, is the Hope Library Book Club book selection, Charlotte Gill’s Eating Dirt. It’s a piece of non-fiction about treeplanters and Big Timber. And a beach read if the weather holds: Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan. And I might just have to check out The World of Downton Abbey by Jessica Fellowes after falling in love with the Crawley family in the Masterpiece Theatre series, Downton Abbey. This is an exceptionally well-done version of Upstairs, Downstairs. Kristin tells me that she’s reading Company of Liars by Karen Maitland
and plans to pick up the classic, Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes later this summer. She’s also earmarked Jared Diamond’s new book The World Until Yesterday and My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk. Kristin is also recent convert to Downton Abbey! All are available at your library. What’s on your summer list? The library Deb has a variety of Ireland Summer Reading Clubs – one for every age! We’ll be drawing for prizes every two weeks for the adults, every week for the kids and teens. And while you are at the library, why not pick up a Story Time in the Park writing kit for your family? Each summer, the Story Time in the Park Committee (of the Fraser-Cascade Literacy Task Initiative – a partnership
of Decoda Literacy Solutions, Hope Community Services, Agassiz Harrison Community Services, Fraser Valley Regional Library, School District 78 (Fraser-Cascade), Free Rein Associates, the University of the Fraser Valley and other stakeholders) sponsors a writing contest for all ages. The winner in each category of the contest will have their work published and the overall winner will go on to have their book read at the 2014 Story Time at the Park. The categories for entering reflect the goal of the program: family literacy. Deadline for entries is August 17, so get writing! At the library this month: Summer Reading Club fun!

The Evening Concert Series at the Harrison Memorial Hall features the return of Tambura Rasa on July 12. Ivan Tucakov and his band cook up a tasty brew of Rumba/Flamenco guitar, Gypsy Violin, Afro-Cuban percussion and are joined by two Flamenco dancers, including Karen PitKethly who wowed Harrison audiences when she danced with the band in 2011. On July 13, Quebec band Mamselle will bring their up-beat Latin music to the Memorial Hall. Lead by Mexican singer-songwriter Mamselle Ruiz, who moved to Quebec in 2010, the band is starting to tour and has just released their first al-

bum Maize. Probably the best known of the returning bands would be The Wailin’ Jennys, closing the Festival on July 14. They have won two Juno Awards, the most recent in 2012 for their album Bright Morning Stars, and were favorites on Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion. This show sold out prior to the beginning of the Festival. Beach Stage concerts continue through the second weekend, featuring Silk Road Music, who pioneered Chinese-Western fusion, blending Chinese folk and classical music with Celtic, Latin, Arabic, Aboriginal, jazz, and blues music. Bon Debarras has traveled around the world, de-
lighting crowds with a music that cheerfully crosses boundaries and eras, redefining the limits of traditional Folk. Bluesman Ray Bonneville’s vibe is loose and soulful, with a greasy guitar style, horn-like harmonica phrasing, smoky vocal style and pulsing foot percussion. Digging Roots combine elements of traditional Indigenous influences, Hip-hop, Folk, Reggae, Blues and Roots styles of music. Laetitia Zonzambe Trio presents music of the heart of Africa to the Bantu sounds, Jazz, Blues and Soul. Briga Music plays a hybrid of songs written in French and English, all accompanied by her fervent violin, firmly rooted in Eastern European
and Romani Folk. No tickets are necessary for the Beach Stage, simply get a $2 Button to show support. The largest visual art component at the Harrison Festival is the Art Market with over 100 artisans and artists participating. The Art Market is juried, assuring quality and artistic standards.

and found objects to create altered books & collage, combining colour, texture and striking compositions to create imagery that is personal and expresses her love of nature and imagination.

Bike park appeals to riders of all levels Barry Stewart Hope Standard
X-Game wannabes and saner cyclists wanting to build their off-road skills should check out the new bike park at Island 22, near the north end of Young Road in Chilliwack. It opened on April 20 and has already earned a five-star rating from Trailforks.com. The facility was designed and built by North Vancouver’s Jay Hoots and crew, with $200,000 in funding from the City of Chilliwack. Island 22 is owned by the city but operated by the Fraser Valley Regional District, which will be maintaining the site. “Everyone came together to make the bike park great. We received input from the local riding community and Hoots Inc. was invaluable in designing a park that would appeal to riders of all levels,” said Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, who is also FVRD board chair. “Island 22 Bike Park shows what incredible things we can accomplish for the entire Fraser Valley when we work together. [This] is a destination park and we are pleased that it is heavily used by people throughout the region.” Being a community-sponsored bike park — unlike a back yard or bush site — safety concerns are at the forefront. It’s still a “use at your own risk” area, with helmets mandatory and chest and leg protection recommended... but it’s designed to be as safe as possible. In addition, riders are not permitted to make alterations to the site. “Designing, building and maintaining a bike park to specific standards addresses legal and liability concerns,” explained Gaetz. “All the trails are clearly marked, from green circles for beginners to black diamonds for expert riders, and we encourage all riders to ride within their limit and wear a helmet.” For beginners, there are basic trails and a wide, slightly-raised board walk that most riders should be able to handle. Balance skills can be practiced on raised logs that have been flat-topped and grooved for grip. There are also progression jumps and flow return jumps with bermed turns. And then there are the big-air jumps, with half-pipe launchers. If you’ve got the confidence — and hopefully some skill — you can go a little crazy here, because the landing slope is made of soft sand. Bike mechanic Will Miller, of Pedal Sport on Young Road said, “The sand
jump is probably the most popular, because it doesn’t hurt as much.” From customer feedback and his own observations, Miller said, “There are a lot of kids using the park — and sometimes you’ll see whole families. It’s a progressional park, so there’s something for everyone in the family.” Chilliwack resident Garry Race and his Mission-based friend Rory Girard were at the park for their first time on Canada Day. Both were riding full-suspension downhill bikes, which aren’t ideal for this location, as there’s not a lot of gravity drop before the jumps. They really had to work the pedals, losing a lot of their effort into the rear suspension. They were still able to sky the jumps — but they were gassed after a handful of passes, so they spent some time on their balance skills. BMX or hardtail mountain bikes are recommended for this park. “That was my first time to bike park. It was great,” said Race. “Any time you have jumps and stunts to learn on in a beautiful setting like Island 22, you can’t complain. My overall experience was great and I would definitely go back.” Well, there was a little complaint about the location. Race had an SUV to get there but he sympathized with kids — especially from the Sardis side of Chillliwack — who have to pedal all the way out there. Miller agreed, saying, “The only thing that could be better is the location,” his main concern being the high water seepage from the Fraser River that can shut down the park during the spring freshet. But hey... unlike the former Sardis jumps at Sheffield Way and Webb Ave., this is land that cannot be otherwise developed because of its proximity to the river, so it has a permanent home, as long as riders make use of it — and being under the supervision of FVRD staff, the park will be maintained to its design specifications. Cost for riders? It’s free. If you want to park nearby, there’s a $5 day use fee for your vehicle, or a $25 season’s pass. “The Fraser Valley Regional District has seasonal pay parking in effect for all park users,” explained Mayor Gaetz. “This is a cost recovery system for security to observe the safety of the vehicles in the lot. It helps prevent theft and vandalism. “If you want to park for free, you don’t have to go beyond the gates. You can park along the dyke at no cost.”
