Former Federal Liberal Leader Stéphane Dion (second from the right) met with politicians and business leaders in Hope on Friday, including (left to right) FVRD director Dennis Adamson, Mayor Susan Johnston, councillor Donna Kropp, Hope CAO John Fortoloczky and Chamber of Commerce president Kathleen Alexis.
Federal Liberals hope to make inroads Former party leader Stéphane Dion tours Hope Jennifer Feinberg, Greg Knill Black Press
Hope had the ear of the former leader of the Federal Liberal Party last week. Stéphane Dion, on tour through the new Chilliwack-Hope riding, popped by city hall on Friday to meet with politicians and business leaders. Dion is a Liberal veteran. A member of Parliament for St-LaurentCartierville in Quebec since 1996, he is also the former leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and was Leader of the Opposition from 2006
to 2008. Hope Mayor Susan Johnston said the meeting was a chance to highlight some of the concerns and priorities communities like the District of Hope have. And while federal and municipal responsibilities differ, there are common concerns in areas like fiscal stability and economic growth. The group emphasized the need for continued infrastructure support, she said, particularly in areas like transportation and tourism. And they highlighted concern that continued belt-tightening at

the federal level inevitably trickles down to the municipal level. During his visit, Dion also met with local First Nations leaders – part of his focus to the region. Friday evening he was keynote speaker at First Voice — an evening at Squiala Community Centre in Chilliwack to “involve, inform and inspire” First Nations youth, sponsored by the Chilliwack-Hope Federal Liberal Riding Association. The Liberal Party is courting the youth demographic, particularly First Nations, by making it clear they’re welcome to bring their ab-
original culture and perspective to the national political scene. “I would say that Canada needs its aboriginal people to succeed,” Dion told Black Press. “Our First Nations represent a large sector and more than ever we need them to be part of the winning team. There is no ‘us’ and ‘you’ in this.” He met with First Nations representatives and with students from University of the Fraser Valley during his tour. “At the university, the topic was Continued Page 9

Motorists urged to drive with care Two major accidents close highway; one fatality but non life threatening injuries. The 64 year old female front passenger suffered serious but non life threatening injuries. The 71-year-old female rear passenger was pronounced dead at the scene. At the time of the crash both east and west bound lanes of Highway 1 were completely shut down for a period of 3-1/2 hours for investigation and removal of the vehicles. The road, weather and visibility conditions were poor at the time of the crash with blowing snow. Any witnesses who may have information on this crash are requested to contact the RCMP Fraser Valley Traffic Services at 604-702-4039. Y Y Y
The weather was a factor in
a second crash that closed the highway Tuesday evening. Just before 6 p.m., the RCMP Fraser Valley Traffic Services, Hope RCMP and the BC Ambulance Service responded to a commercial vehicle crash on Highway 1 at exit 165 west of Hope. A tractor trailer unit with two trailers loaded with lumber was heading west in the fast lane, passing another tractor trailer. The tractor trailer unit lost control and left the highway, crossing a large median before coming to rest on its side and completely blocking all east-bound lanes. East-bound traffic was diverted onto exit 165 through Hope past the crash scene for approximately four hours while crews cleared the roadway of the tractor trailer unit
and debris. The 34-year-old driver was the sole occupant of the tractor trailer unit received minor, non-life threatening injuries. Speed and weather are suspected factors of the cause of this crash. This matter is still being investigated by Fraser Valley Traffic Services. Any witnesses who may have information on this crash are requested to contact Cst. Clark of the RCMP Fraser Valley Traffic Services at (604)7024039. “The RCMP would like to remind the motoring public to slow down during adverse weather conditions and to travel at a safe speed relative to the conditions,” said RCMP Cpl. Robert Mc Donald.
Appeal court upholds roadside suspensions By Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – B.C. police will continue to impose 90-day driving suspensions and seize vehicles of drivers who fail a breath alcohol test, after a constitutional challenge was turned away Monday by the B.C. Court of Appeal. “It’s a matter of public safety on our roads, and so we’re carrying on with the immediate roadside prohibition program,” Attorney General Suzanne Anton said Monday. The law was challenged by six drivers who had either blown a “fail” reading on a roadside blood alcohol screening device, or refused to blow. The court
found that the roadside suspensions do not supplant the Criminal Code, where police still have the option of laying impaired driving charges. “The legislation does not create a criminal or quasi-criminal proceeding, nor does it lead
When you see the words transfats on a food label, think artery clogger. These fats raise the bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower the good (HDL). They are used for enhancing Àavour, texture and shelf life of many processed foods. Canadian legislation hasn’t banned them yet, but many food manufacturers have reduced or eliminated transfats from their products. Still, reading the label is a good idea.

For those who blow in the “impaired” range of 0.08 or higher, police have the option of imposing a 90-day driving ban, a $500 penalty and impounding the vehicle for 30 days instead of laying a charge. Towing and impounding a vehicle can result in a $700 bill, and a $1,400 mandatory “responsible driver program” may also be required before the driver’s licence is returned.

RCMP are hoping to speak with witnesses of a fatal car crash near Hope. The threevehicle accident happened on Sunday, at about 1:3O p.m., just west of Hope. RCMP said it has been determined that a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder and a 2001 Isuzu Rodeo were travelling East on Highway 1 when they collided and went out of control. The Isuzu landed in the slow lane ditch on its side, all three occupants escaped injury. The Pathfinder went through the center median into the West bound lane colliding head on into a 2007 Dodge Caliber. The two occupants of the Pathfinder had minor injuries.

A6 Hope Standard Thursday, March 6, 2014
Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
Ready for spring As we desperately search for signs of spring, and the turning of the calendar to March obviously doesn’t count based on this week’s weather, there may be good news on the horizon. That’s right. This weekend, whether you or Mother Nature is ready for it, we switch to Daylight Savings Time. Hard to believe? You bet considering the winter weather of late and the fact that some of us remember golfing at this time last year around these parts. The fact that they bumped up Daylight Savings Time by a few weeks several years ago is also a factor but it’s sure taking people by surprise in 2014. The bad news is that we spring ahead this Saturday night/Sunday morning and lose some sleep in the process but the good news is it’s lighter longer after work and spring-like activities must be around the corner, right? Experts at UBC say go to bed earlier on the day of the time change because you’ll likely get up at the same time no matter what the clock says. Also it helps the body get used to losing that hour of sleep as soon as possible. And the short-term loss should be worth the longterm gain in saving energy, better driving conditions in the evening hours and just the sensation that spring will be sprung on us soon, along with all the outdoor activities that await us in the North Okanagan. Not to mention the meteorologist says the temperature could be in the double-digits by the weekend. The rest of Canada may still be mired in winter but we’re ready for spring, darn it. Bring on the time change. ~ Black Press
Crown jewel on table in the Cariboo
B.C. VIEWS
Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – The New Prosperity mineral deposit near Williams Lake is described by the industry as one of the largest in the world, containing 5.3 billion pounds of copper and 13.3 million ounces of gold. The Harper government’s decision to reject open-pit mine development for a second time is seen by elected officials in the Cariboo region as a disaster. One of Quesnel’s sawmills is preparing to close for good, and I’ve been told there is more to come as the post-pine beetle era unfolds. Here in the B.C. capital, the decision is mainly viewed as a huge mistake. Taseko Mines is going to
court to show that the federal panel used the wrong design when reviewing the company’s expensively revised plan. The province has permitted two successful mines that operate in the same area, one of which is run by Taseko. In Ottawa, this is a Supreme Court of Canada test case over who owns the land and the mineral wealth underneath. In traditional Canadian law, the province owns it. This was highlighted in the recent discussion between B.C. Premier Christy Clark and Alberta’s Alison Redford over royalties from oil. Six aboriginal communities make up the Tsilhqot’in Nation, which has a long and bitter history of resistance against the Crown. They almost won a declaration of title to 40,000 hectares known as the Nemiah Valley: forests, wild horses, minerals and all,

in a 339-day trial that ended in 2007. Their case suffered a setback at the B.C. Court of Appeal, and is now before the highest court. Aboriginal rights have been established, but this would be the first clear title. Tsilhqot’in tribal chair Joe Alphonse was pleasantly surprised to see Taseko turned down again. He said the Tsilhqot’in National Government is releasing its own mining policies soon. “We welcome opportunities to look at projects that are environmentally sound and we need economic opportunities,” Alphonse told the <I>Williams Lake Tribune</I>. Somehow efforts to move mine waste rock from Teztan Biny (Fish Lake) to a sealed storage site two kilometres away are not enough to protect groundwater, although
Standard
they are sufficient at the nearby Gibraltar and Mount Polley mines. And Alphonse makes it clear this mysterious environmental problem will be solved once he and his fellow chiefs have control of the resource. A Supreme Court of Canada ruling on aboriginal title is required to settle this. If some limited form of title is at last defined for the treaty-less majority of B.C., or at least Tsilhqot’in territory, the fate of the mine may become clear. Conventional wisdom on this is that the mining company didn’t try hard enough to establish a working relationship with the Tsilhqot’in. For his part, Taseko CEO Russell Hallbauer says the chiefs refused to meet with him, which isn’t surprising from a group that doesn’t recognize the B.C. forests ministry either. Here’s a sample of the volume of

evidence that may determine the future of B.C. Archeological studies presented at trial describe “18 roasting and/ or pit depressions” at Teztan Biny. It’s not clear if these were for seasonal food preparation or for pit houses, which would indicate a more permanent settlement at the lake. Nor is it clear whether these “cultural depressions” have been identified as being of Tsilhqot’in origin. Oral histories are also uncertain. Tsilhqot’in witnesses testified that Teztan Biny has been used in the 20th century as a hunting and fishing camp. The mine was rejected due to ill-defined cultural as well as environmental concerns. B.C. residents could finally see some answers this year.

New Prosperity mine would be good for province

It boggles the mind that the Federal Government said no to such an important economic catalyst as the New Prosperity mine. The tens of thousands of secure, high-paying jobs the mine would have created for people in the Cariboo and Williams Lake region are just a small taste of the economic benefits that would have been in store for the entire province. BC’s share of the New Prosperity mine’s revenue would have been in the billions, not to mention all of the spinoff economic activity and jobs that would have also resulted. Rejecting this project makes no sense. I urge the Prime Minister and the Conservative cabinet and caucus in Ottawa to turn their gaze to the West and give the New Prosperity mine, and the people of BC, another look. Prosperity is what we want and what we need; and the New Prosperity mine will bring it to us.

I am a member of The War Amps Operation Legacy, which consists of young members and graduates of the Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program who are dedicated to preserving and commemorating Canada’s military heritage by teaching younger generations about our nation’s wartime history. I have had the privilege to learn about Canada’s military heritage and also know what it is like to live without a limb – a strong bond that I share with war amputee veterans. CHAMP was started by war amputee veterans and I want to give back to those who have given me so much. It’s important to remember our veterans for countless reasons. The individuals that left their families, homes and lives behind to fight for us and our country deserve more than just remembrance. We should be thankful every day for what they went through for us. The bravery, strength and courage it took is not something easily found. I give all my respect to our war veterans. I encourage all of you to learn more about Canada’s history by means of The War Amps Military Heritage Series documentaries, which can be ordered at waramps.ca.

Newspaper stories about masses of unwanted cats, and often enough even kittens, are a nickel per couple dozen. Sadly, collective society seemingly will truly appreciate cats only when there are no longer so many of them around -- and so many greatly suffering as per usual -- in disposable droves to be used and abused as whomever pleases. Thus, the logical and most importantly humane act is to spay and neuter them en masse to the point that their eventual greatly reduced number will far more likely procure (in)humanity’s affection and perhaps even respect. Furthermore, pet cats should be legislated by respective city halls to be confined indoors when not on a chest-brace leash accompanied by their masters. Yes, pet cats likely will go through no-more-outdoors-withdrawal and cry a raucous by the front door; however, keeping them safe and around for many years makes their finite whining quite worthwhile. Whether at human hands or preying animals’ teeth, cats have been a popular target of persecution throughout history. Indeed, those cats unfortunate enough to be born black were demonized and thus ordered to be slaughtered en masse by the early Church -- until, of course, humane citizens strongly protested the church’s death warrant on all of those innocent cats.

The students asked about pipelines and why the environment has to be sacrificed for the economy.� Students and First Nations everywhere he goes talk to him about the need for “sustainable development,� and how to encourage growth that is safe for communities. “They said they are entitled to have both, jobs and growth, and as well as health and protection of the environment. Why would we sacrifice one for the other?� The Conservatives’ weakening of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is a misstep, he said, as the emphasis on the National Energy Board, which is “too close to industry.� Dion is also critical of how scientists have been muzzled under the Harper regime. But the Liberals are not ideologically opposed to pipelines, he underlined. “We are not against pipelines. We have to move oil from one place to another. If not by pipeline, it will be shipped by truck or by rail or by barge. So no to pipelines if it can’t

But yes if they can operate in a way that is safe for our communities.� Diversity is a key plank for the Liberals. “I’m still a Quebecker with a strong accent, but I also know that Canada is strong because of its diversity.� Dion is not the first high-profile Liberal to tour the region, traditionally a Conservative stronghold. Both MP Ralph Goodale and current party leader Justin Trudeau have made stops in the riding. Why the interest in local constituents? “They may hear an idea that makes them want to connect with the Liberals,� Dion said. “And if we show an interest in the development of a community and the well being of its people, it’s a better approach.� The Chilliwack-Hope Riding Association has had successful run of fundraisers and is gearing up for a future election. The last time a Liberal was elected was under the Pierre Trudeau leadership. “So now with Justin Trudeau, we have the next generation of Trudeaus,� said Dion. For some it may be time for another look.
“People need to know that Mr. Trudeau is incredibly sincere. He’s not playing games with people. He’s willing to listen and has a lot of empathy. I think Canadian need that since the Harper government has been so secretive and manipulative.� The themes of equal
opportunity, cooperation and development were mentioned, alongside fiscal responsibility, a clean environment. “So I would say there is a long list of reasons why the people of Chilliwack and Hope should consider Justin Trudeau and the Liberals,� He said.

On Friday morning, about 20 minutes before the Royal Canadian Air Force Squadron 422 search and rescue training exercise starts, Kim Dickson and Charline Rolston stroll over to the crumpled wreckage of an airplane. Looking more like a stepped-on pop can than anything that ever flew, it lies with its back pressed against the bank of a canal running parallel to a runway at the Chilliwack airport. Dickson and Rolston look it over, then Dickson does something curious. She climbs into the open cockpit, flops her torso and arms over the side and closes her eyes. Strange time for a nap? Not at all. With blood stains on her checks and a bloody protrusion that keeps falling off of her forehead, she is prepping to simulate victim number one. Her job will be to stay still and keep her eyes shut for the duration. Rolston settles in with her back against the airplane’s hull. She wraps herself in a foil blanket as she prepares to be victim number two. She will play the role of a type-one diabetic, severely disoriented by the crash.
When the search and rescue technicians (SAR Techs) arrive, she’ll start wandering around, trying to leave the scene. Job one will be to keep her in one place. Both women are volunteers with the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association (CASARA), a group that lends what assistance it can in search and rescue efforts. Soon, they hear a sound in the distance. The source is easy to spot, even from a few miles off. The CC-115 Buffalo aircraft is 24 metres long, with a 29.2m wingspan. It’s also painted a bright shade of orangy-yellow. Over the next 20 minutes it circles the scene, at one point dropping three colored streamers from the back. Where they are dropped and where they land helps the SAR Techs gauge wind-speed – helpful to know when you’re about to parachute from a moving plane. In a real situation, misjudging wind could result in a SAR Tech getting stuck in a tree or worse. On this morning, the wind is howling in Chilliwack. Airport readings have it at 30 knots, or five above the safety threshold. In a real operation, the safety thresholds would be different and the SAR Techs would be jumping. But in training, they

don’t want to leap out and drift onto the freeway. So the SAR Techs wait until it lands before making their way to the scene. With practiced efficiency they do their thing. Dickson is assessed, carefully removed from the wreckage, strapped to a backboard and bundled up nice and warm. Rolston is corralled, not an easy thing to do as she plays her rattled role to perfection. She is eventually wrapped in a blanket and given an IV drip. Within minutes the huge and loud CH-149 Cormorant helicopter arrives with additional personnel. It is built to function in extreme and remote environments, capable of flying 1,000 kilometres without refueling. Apparently, it is the envy of Squadron 422’s U.S. counterparts. As it hovers 50 feet overhead, verbal communication is impossible. Everything is hand gestures. Four SAR Techs pick up Dickson’s backboard and carry her to the chopper, which has landed nearby. The big whirlybird is capable of carrying up to 12 stretchers or 5,000 kilograms, and she’s a lot lighter than that. Once Dickson is loaded in, off it goes. In a real situation, it Continued Page 11

would head to the nearest hospital. On this morning it heads back to Squadron 422’s temporary base at the Abbotsford airport. And with that, the exercise is over. With three days of training in the books, Squadron 422 packs up and heads back to Comox. In a perfect world, the skills they practiced here would never be needed. But they cover 920,000 square kilometres of B.C. and Yukon territory, plus 500 nautical miles of Pacific Ocean, and the world is not perfect.

The B.C. Court of Appeal has suspended a lower court ruling that would force B.C.’s school districts to reorganize around teacher contract terms that were scrapped by the government in 2002. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the latest turn in the long-running legal battle with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation allows stability for parents and students while negotiations continue on class size, special needs support and other issues. The decision provides a “stable environment” for the 60 school districts to prepare for next September under existing arrangements, he said. “We need to now get back to the table and see if we can find that sweet spot between both parties where we have a negotiated settlement,” Fassbender said. Those negotiations, to replace an imposed contract that expired last June, are scheduled to continue next week as BCTF members take a strike vote. The appeal court decision, released Wednesday, allows the government to pursue its appeal of a January ruling that it argued would cause major disruption to schools, which will likely take several months.

around the province. “The evidence demonstrates that the immediate reinsertion of the deleted terms into the collective agreement will probably lead to a dislocation of current planning and budgeting or the next school year,” Harris wrote. BCTF lawyers had
argued that the 2002 rules could have been reinstated in time for the September 2014 school year. Harris said it would be unlikely the appeal of constitutional arguments would be complete by then, and if it is successful, the school system would have to be made over again.

Sports Taking cheerleading to the extreme
Barry Stewart
Local athletes show there’s much more to the sport than pom-poms
Hope Standard
It’s known as one of the most dangerous sports in the world, yet a dozen girls from Hope make the trip to Chilliwack as many as three times a week to practice their cheerleading routines. If you’re wondering how shaking a pom-pom can put you in a wheelchair or worse, you probably haven’t noticed a big change since the 1980s, when all-star cheerleaders switched from cheering for sports teams and created routines that were athletic feats in their own right. “A lot of people think it’s just pom-pom shaking,” said coach Craig Tolmie. “But it’s an extreme workout that takes six months to perfect. There are no pom-poms anymore. “It’s fun — but you have to take it seriously,” he cautioned. “When you’re holding someone over your head, there’s no excuse for dropping someone just because your wrist is sore. “We use a sprung floor… but it’s like putting plywood on a trampoline. It still hurts!” Tolmie has a gymnastics background — and choreographed gymnastics, dance and pyramids are the main components of modern “cheer.” It was his daughter, Haley, who showed and interest in the sport, so Craig looked into it and got a group started, called Fusion Athletics Cheerleading. That was eight years ago. Now, the group has grown to about 120 athletes, aged 5 to 19, training in a warehouse facility on Enterprise Drive in Chilliwack. Fusion Athletics sends groups to about six competitions per year, mostly in the Lower Mainland or Washington State — but a group of 20 just got back from the National Cheerleading Association’s All-Star Nationals in Dallas, Texas. Madison Marshall, Autumn Perry-White, Sydney Pellegrino and Shayla Ottesen traveled from Hope for the March 1-2 event. The girls have been to some big competitions before — but none as big as this one. “It’s the Super Bowl of cheerleading,” said Madison’s dad, Steve. “There were 25,000 cheerleaders and 38,000 spectators,” said Madi-

Twelve girls from Hope are members of the Fusion Athletics Cheerleading Club, which practices in Chilliwack. Top row (left to right): Amy Hemelspeck, Avery Loring, Nicole Bowcott. Bottom row (l-r): Autumn Perry-White, Madison Marshall, Arden Poulin, Alyssa Goglin, Shayla Ottesen, Hannah Guy , Serena Savoie, Krystal Pietsch. (Insert, Sydney Pellegrino.)
son. Teams were grouped according to size and ability level. Levels 1 to 4 performed in smaller venues, while special needs and the top tier — level 5 — were showcased in the main arena of the Dallas Convention Center. Madison explained, “Usually, we
train as a level 4 team — but we went as level 2, so we could max out and get a higher score.” Training at level 4 means two or three 2-hour sessions a week, plus extra workouts at home to build strength and stamina for the highpaced two-and-a-half-minute performance.

It also means no compromises on the quest for perfection. A practice starts off with 20 laps around the gym, said Madison. “And we run ‘suicides,’ which are two sets of eight lines.” Then there are the push-ups. “We have to do 50 push-ups for any drop or goof-ups,” said 17
The Great Gordini Family Magic Show Sat., March 15 1:00pm-2:00pm
yyear-old Madison, who is H Hope’s most experienced ccheer athlete, at six years w with the club. “These are ffull-length push-ups. It’s 1100 if you do knee pushu ups.” That’s okay with 15 yyear-old Perry-White, who is one of seven ‘flyw eers’ who gets lifted and ttossed. For her, the less m mistakes, the better. “Our record is 450 in one practice,” said Ottesen, a second-year member. Four hundred fifty push-ups? These girls are tough. “And we never have a perfect practice,” added Madison. Down in Dallas, the Fusion team was up against 15 others, including one from Australia. After their Saturday performance, Fusion was in fourth place… and they held their position after Sunday’s performance, with a team from California coming from behind with a top-place program on their second day. “Things went great,” said coach Tolmie, after returning home on Tuesday. “Fourth place was a very respectable place. We were up against the best teams in the world. “We did have a slight bobble in day 2, but that would not have affected our placement. We did however hold our place on day 2, due to the overall performance of the second day. “The girls realize that things can happen, but it’s a team thing, and how easily slips can happen. “As a coach, I realized that training kids the right way, creates the team unity and love needed to accomplish a major goal. These girls have had their battles this year, but always pulled together and worked it out. “Even though their want for first-place was not met, the life experience to go to such a huge event — and meet some of the “cheerlebrity” and grow as a team — was the gold they brought home.” Next up: the Sea to Sky Nationals in Vancouver in April.

May 30, 1935 February 23, 2014 Margaret Stella Hunchuk (Dougal) passed away Sunday February 23, 2014 at Hope Hospital after a long battle with cancer. Born May 30, 1935. She was 78 years old. Predeceased by her father John Prain, mother Margaret (Mitch) Jacques, brother Johnny Prain and nephew Jack Fisher. Left to mourn her passing, son Gordon, daughter in-law Gayle, grandchildren Lukas and Clinton. Sister Anne Fisher, nieces Shelly, Alison and nephew Marshall, Lynette Brownley, her loyal and long time friend. Thank-you Sandy Hunchuk for always being there, you are our rock. Special thanks to the health care nurses that attended to her twice a week and the nurses and doctors at Hope Hospital. No funeral service will be held at this time. Dougal’s final resting place will be in Courtenay, BC. In lieu of flowers, a donation to Cancer research would be greatly appreciated. The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells in the sand. The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains...... For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains. Author unknown.
