A local walk is being planned in memory of the 100 sled dogs that were killed, after business reportedly dried up for a tourist dog-sledding business at the close of the 2010 Olympic Games.

With the number of walks, rallies and vigils taking place around the province, but nothing nearby their community, Cathy Hirst and Jeneane Ruscheinsky, of Hope, felt that it was important for area residents to come together in memory of the Whistler 100 Sled Dogs and “to voice their support and peaceful outrage, to ensure that nothing like this ever happens again.”

“People simply need to show up at the park with their friends, families and four-legged companions, dressed for the weather,” says Hirst.

A group leader will head up the parade of participants along the route starting from Hope Memorial Park, walking in groups of two – just as sled dogs do.

The walk is set for 2 p.m., Sunday, February 13.

“We ask that everyone attending be aware that no violence or aggression will be tolerated or expected. It is important for people to be considerate of the public, and to behave in a calm and orderly manner,” adds Hirst.

“There may be lots of dogs present, and we want a calm and peaceful environment with no yelling, and just a minimum of barking.

“This is not an angry procession - the first purpose is to support people that do good work to protect animals, and show our love for dogs.”

“We ask that if people are bringing signs, which they are welcome to do, they should not be aggressive or include any profanity, but share a message of support for change of animal rights.

Information on the route will be provided the day of the walk

and participants can sign an

animal rights petition or donate

to the SPCA at the beginning of

the walk.

“We will also hand out red

ribbons for those in attendance

to attach to their dogs collars,

or to attach to their sleeves in

memory” of the Whistler 100,

adds Hirst.

An Emil Anderson road construction crew was on site of the $1.2 million highway project at Lake of the Woods, Saturday, drilling high up on the rockface. The TransCanada highway is being shifted into the mountainside to allow for better access to the popular highway rest area on the opposite side of the highway. Access and egress to the lake has been problematic for many years and the site of a number of severe crashes in the past. The project is expected to be completed in time for the summer travel season.

This pile of rock was cleared off the southbound lane of Highway 1, approximately 3.5 kilometres north of the Yale tunnel, in the second rock slide to close the Fraser Canyon so far this year. Luckily the quantity of rock and debris was much smaller than the one that occurred at the Yale tunnel in January.

Slide closes highway at YaleThe TransCanada Highway

was closed after another rock slide occurred north of the Yale Tunnel.

Highway crews shut down the highway at Hope and Boston Bar at approximately 7 p.m., Friday, February 4.

The highway was reopened to traffic at 10:30 a.m., Saturday, February 5 after highway crews

assessed the stability of the slope and removed the rock debris.

A traffic control flagger was posted at the pullout near the slide over the weekend to keep an eye on the slope and report any further movement of the rock to highways crews. Rock scaling was expected to begin on Monday to further stabilize

the slope.On Friday, January 7, the

highway was also closed to traffic for five days when a rock face approximately 3.5 kilometres south, gave way and covered both sides of the highway, narrowly missing the driver of a small car and a trucker.

Three armed robberies may be work of one suspect: RCMP

A black male in a dark red station wagon is believed responsible for two armed robberies in one hour Saturday night.

And he may be the same man who robbed the Ramada Inn on the North Parallel Road on Sunday at about 11:20 p.m.

Chilliwack RCMP and Abbotsford Police are working together to identify the suspect.

Chilliwack RCMP were called to the Parkwood Motor Lodge on Young Street at about 10:05 p.m., Saturday and about 50 minutes later to the Popkum Esso on Yale Road East by reports of armed robberies.

The suspect is described as about 25-35 years old, 5’10” to six feet tall, with a short black beard and a medium build.

At the time of the robberies, he was wearing a dark-coloured zip-up hooded jacket that may have had ‘Vancouver 2010’ written on it. He was also wearing blue jeans and a light-coloured baseball cap.

He was seen leaving in a dark red station wagon that was last reported heading toward Hwy 1.

On Sunday, the Abbotsford Police were called to the Ramada Inn by a similar robbery.

Chilliwack and Agassiz serious crime units are actively investigating the robberies.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-TIPS.

Tips can also be made online at www.chilli-wackcrimestoppers.ca

A new showcase for artistsTrails Crossing

Friendship Centre is offering an avenue for artists of diverse type and culture to showcase their art.

“The communities within the Fraser Cascade area have such a wide, and diverse group of artists, both amateur and professional, and we are just excited to be able to offer them a chance to connect and interact with other artists and community members

about their passion,” says Darla Dickinson, event administrator for the Trails Crossing Friendship Centre.

Trails Crossing is in the midst of organizing a series of three events that celebrate Rural Diversity through art and food. The series of three events is funded through the BC Spirit Festival.

“The art forum is the first of these events. Our goal is to encourage artists, businesses, groups and

people to come out and network with one another, to show their art form, and to mingle with the community,” says Dickinson.

The Artist Forum is scheduled for Feb. 12, 2011 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Grace Baptist Church Hall in Hope.

“A person’s art can tell a lot about a person’s culture and faith – this is just a chance to tell others what their art means to them,” says Dickinson.

Artists are free to sell their work at the Forum, “although we do ask that a 15% commission is given to Trails Crossing Friendship Centre,” adds Dickinson.

Ar t ists are encouraged to register prior to the event, and guests are more than welcome to stop by throughout the event. There is no cost to attend or register.

For more information or to register call Darla at 604 869 2279.

Canadians who are diagnosed with cancer are living longer than they were as little as 15

years ago. Increased screening, early detection and better treatments are responsible for this positive change.What do you do when your young child is prone to motion sickness and your are going on a trip? A child under the age of two doesn’t usually get motion sickness. For kids between 2-12, you can give dimenhydrinate (Gravol®) at doses of 5mg per kg of weight up to every six hours. Maximum doses are 75mg/day for the younger ones and 150mg/day for

the older. Ask our pharmacists for dosing help.February is Heart and Stroke Month in Canada. It’s a good time to remind you to have a small bottle of ASA. (Aspirin®) in the house. If you feel you are having a heart attack (a burning or squeezing pain in the chest, neck, jaw, shoulder or arms; nausea and clammy skin), call 911, sit down and chew an adult (325mg) ASA tablet or two 80mg tabs and swallow with water. This will help prevent blood clots and increase your chances of survival.

While we are on the sub-ject, it’s good to review the ve warning signs of stroke as well. They are: weakness, dif -culty speaking, vision problems, headache and dizziness. If you experience any of these symptoms, call 911 immediately.It’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with factors affecting your health and your fam-ily’s health.

Late last fall, Telus paid $250,000 to have its phone lines buried along the highway near Yale, after a seemingly endless series of wiring thefts continually knocked out service to area residents.

SIMONE ROLPH PHOTO

Costly wire thefts threaten safety, servicePolice need your help to catch a thief

Telus is asking area residents to immediately call police if they see any suspicious activity around their telephone poles – after a incidence of wire theft of shut down Telus phone, internet and banking services throughout the Hope region.

At 6 a.m., on Monday, February 7, four cables were cut from a conduit under the Hope Fraser Bridge, shutting down approximately 200 voice and internet customers, as well as a cell tower, said Shawn Hall, media relations officer with Telus.

As they are of no value from a metal recyclers, the thief or thieves abandoned the two fiber optic cables and found only 10 feet of copper cable, added Hall. “They might get $5 bucks for it.”

Hall estimates the repair work, which continued into Tuesday, would cost the company $50,000.

“We are doing what we can to put an end to this….

“This is not a victimless crime – these thieves are putting people’s lives at risk by cutting our customer’s access to 911 services.”

Telus and the police are working together to identify a suspect or suspects, however, with copper bringing in $4 per pound from metal recyclers, theft is becoming rampant throughout the region.

Three months ago, the Telus lines between Hope and Yale were hit by a thief an estimated five times over a period of a few weeks – cutting 911, phone and internet service to an 50 customers. The Yale Fire Department’s dispatch system was also disrupted with each occurrence.

To end the rampant

theft, the company had to invest $250,000 and bury the one kilometre of phone line deep into the shoulder of the highway, near Camp Squeah.

Theft of wire also regularly shuts down emergency, direction signage, and lighting along our local highways.

“The majority of these thefts have been occurring in or around heavily populated areas within daylight hours. Due to the time of day, police believe there are likely witnesses that have seen suspicious activity which relate to these thefts,” says Corporal Tammy Hollingworth, on behalf of the Hope RCMP.

Police are asking a n y o n e w i t h information regarding suspicious persons or activity around power poles to contact the Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750 or Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-TIPS (8477).

Telus crews spent Monday under the Hope Fraser Bridge hand building replacement cables damaged by a wire thief. The thief would have climbed the pole at approximately 6 a.m., Monday shutting down phone service, internet, a cell tower, and some banking within the Hope region.

Development of a Pest Management PlanApplication Number: MOT – IP – PMP - 2011

Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, South Coast Region7818 – Sixth Street, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4N8

Attention: Amber SmithTelephone: 604-660-0339 Fax: 604-660-2181

Email: amber.mt.smith@gov.bc.ca

The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to control invasive plants and/or noxious weeds on provincial Crown land in the South Coastal Mainland of B.C., including areas within or adjacent to high-risk sites (e.g. ecologically important natural areas), along transportation corridors, resource tenures, gravel pits and recreational sites. The PMP applies to areas located within the Metro Vancouver Regional District, the Fraser Valley Regional District, the Southwest half of the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District inclusive of Squamish but not including Lillooet and the lower portion of the Sunshine Coast Regional District, in the vicinity of Sechelt.

The pest management methods proposed for use include manual/mechanical and cultural methods, biological control agents and the use of pesticides within the area to which the PMP applies. The common name and trade name of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: glyphosate (e.g. Vantage Plus Max), triclopyr (e.g. Garlon Ultra), aminopyralid (e.g. Milestone), acetic acid (e.g. Ecoclear) and chondrostereum purpureum (e.g. Chontrol Peat Paste). Selective application methods include: cut and paint or inject, backpack or ATV foliar spraying, wick-on, basal bark, squirt bottle and stem injection.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from April 1, 2011 to March 31, 2016.

Copies of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be reviewed at the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure South Coast Regional Offi ce, 7818 – Sixth Street, Burnaby, B.C., V3N 4N8 or online at http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/invasiveplant/.

A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the

Pest Management Plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the address above within 30 days of the

publication of this notice.

Flu season has been mild so far in B.C. but health authorities warn it may not stay that way.

The influenza virus hitting eastern Canada hard may be felt more strongly here in the weeks ahead.

“The winter is long and the risk is not yet over,” said Dr. Danuta Skowronski, physician epidemiologist at the B.C. Centre for Disease Control.

“It would be wise to learn from the experience in eastern Canada and prepare for that now, because the same could still happen here.”

Influenza season typically spans November to April and the peak can happen any time during that period.

There’s still time to get immunized even though it takes

about two weeks for the vaccine to take full effect.

Flu shots are still available through public health units, doctors’ offices and pharmacists.

“We are carefully watching other parts of the country,” added Fraser Health spokesperson Joan Marshall.

This year’s vaccine does cover the H3N2 strain spreading in eastern Canada.

The flu vaccine is recommended and free for the elderly, very young children, and people of all ages with chronic medical conditions as they are at highest risk of hospitalization and death due to complications from influenza.

The province expanded Pharmacare coverage in December to include two brands of antiviral drugs, Tamiflu and Relenza.

They’re now covered for people at high risk of complications and who have flu symptoms during

the 2010-11 flu season, as well as all residents at long-term care homes.

Most young healthy people recover from the flu without difficulty, but those at high risk may be helped with antivirals, which work best if taken at the first sign of symptoms appearing.

As a result, authorities advise that those at high risk have a plan in place for early treatment ahead of time.

The flu is potentially a serious respiratory illness and comes on suddenly with fever and cough as well as general aches and fatigue.

Frequent hand-washing and covering coughs and sneezes is advised to keep the virus from spreading.

There’s been little sign in B.C. this winter of the the H1N1 flu virus that triggered a mass immunization campaign a year ago.

News

Remember to cover those sneezes and

coughs. The flu virus hitting eastern

Canada could still bring a late

winter peak in flu activity here.

Immunization still urged as fl u moves west

Salmon probe deadline extendedJeff Nagel

Black Press

Justice Bruce Cohen will have an extra 14 months to get to the bottom of the mystery of the dwindling Fraser River sockeye salmon.

His inquiry into the downturn has been granted an extension, with a final report now due by June 30, 2012 instead of this spring.

Cohen cited the complexity of the commission’s work, the difficult and t i m e - c o n s u m i n g document disclosure process and large number of participants in obtaining more time.

The commission’s

budget is also increasing, from $14 million to an estimated $25 million.

Hearings are now slated to run until at least September.

The commissioner is to make recommendations on improving the future sustainability of the sockeye fishery, including potential changes in policies, practices and procedures of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO).

The delay has caused anger among First Nations that are close to treaties that can’t be concluded until the federal government signs off on guaranteed shares of the salmon

fishery.Six treaty tables

where agreements-in-principle are close are in limbo because Ottawa won’t finalize treaty fishing rights until it receives Cohen’s findings, according to Sophie Pierre, chief commissioner of the B.C. Treaty Commission.

“Because of the delay, what we’re concerned about is the growing debt First Nations are facing,” she said, referring to the loans aboriginal groups must incur to cover their negotiating costs.

“We have First Nations negotiating tables that are fast approaching the tipping point where

what they’re going to get in terms of a cash offer for self-government is going to be less than what they owe for going through these negotiations. So what’s the point?”

The judicial inquiry was called after the collapse of the 2009 sockeye run, when just over a million fish returned, about a tenth the expected number.

A huge return in 2010 of around 30 million Fraser sockeye is thought by most experts to be an anomaly, possibly due to an Alaskan volcano fertilizing the ocean and supercharging the food supply for juvenile salmon.

Ken Pugh scanned and reprinted his ICBC insurance papers in order to remove his last name and address to prevent home break-ins and theft.

BLACK PRESS PHOTO

ICBC could end garage-door theftsNeil CorbettBlack Press A recent rash of

break-ins at the homes of Abbotsford church-goers is just the latest incarnation of an old crime.

Thieves know the majority of drivers keep their insurance papers – listing their name and home address – in their vehicle, usually in the glove box or overhead visor.

Crooks just need to find a vehicle in which the owner has left a garage door opener. That gives them a “key” to the house. If the car is at a movie theatre, the head of a hiking trail, or as in recent cases, a church parking lot, the thieves know they have plenty of time to loot the home.

“ICBC has known for years this is a problem, and they have been reluctant to take steps to solve it,” says Ken Pugh, a university instructor from Chilliwack.

“It is 100 per cent preventable,” he maintains.

Pugh spent some time in Saskatchewan, where there is no requirement to keep

insurance papers in your vehicle, as there is in B.C. Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) issues a smaller document that can be folded, fitting into a wallet. The rule there is that proof of insurance, if it is not available immediately, must be produced within 48 hours of a police request during a roadside stop.

Pugh said a wallet-sized card system in B.C. is a no-brainer. The work of the so-called “Garage Burgler” in Chilliwack got him interested in trying to effect change, and he’s been trying to get the attention of ICBC officials and politicians.

“If ICBC would only do one thing – take out your personal, private information – this type of crime would be reduced dramatically, and not just in Chilliwack or Abbotsford, but across the province,” said Pugh.

Chantel Funk’s parents were among those victimized while they were at church on Jan. 2. Thieves smashed their car

window and stole a Bluetooth wireless device, a TomTom GPS, a garage door opener and their insurance papers. They then went to the couple’s home, and stole electronics and jewelry.

Funk said Abbotsford Police told them they could block out the address on their insurance papers, and although they could be ticketed for altering the documents, there’s a good chance a police officer would be understanding.

She likes Pugh’s card idea better, which could all but eliminate this type of crime.

On Jan. 23, three more people attending church had their cars broken into and tires slashed, and in one case a home was robbed.

Pugh said a class action lawsuit against ICBC involving victims of this type of crime would be warranted.

“They have provided an opportunity for criminals,” he said.

ICBC spokesman Mark Jan Vrem said the requirement to have the original vehicle registration and insurance document

in the vehicle when operating on a highway is contained in the Motor Vehicle Act. To alter this requirement, there would need to be a change to the legislation. He added that most North American law enforcement authorities require that original, unaltered documents be available if requested by a peace officer – primarily to help prevent fraud and misrepresentation.

He added that people can follow the letter of the law by having a photocopy of their insurance in the glove compartment, with their personal information blanked out, while hiding the original in another part of the vehicle.

He said motorists can carry the original documents in the vehicle, but should not leave them in it when the vehicle is parked or stored.

Pugh responds that thieves will still smash windows looking for addresses on insurance papers, even if they find them blacked out.

Jan Vrem said he was not aware of what

Saskatchewan’s SGI issues its customers.

“ICBC is always looking at ways to improve service for our customers. Suggestions to remove the name and address information is something we can review and consider as we look forward to enhancements in our systems,” he said.

Soothe the soul in Hopeby Geoff Birch

Special Contributor

“One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain.” When the legendary Bob Marley sang these words in his song Trenchtown Rock he was touching upon something we can all relate to. One thing I’ve come to realize about life is that we all experience pain in its various forms and we all have a need and desire to alleviate that pain. In addition, inside every person is a question that will not be ignored and it inquires for our entire lives. For one it could be distant echoes pondered in the quiet of night and for another it could be powerful longings in the foreground of every day. Whether it is quiet or loud, this persistent question is simply ‘Why?’ and not so simply it is referred to as existential angst. From birth until death, every one of us on some level will search for the meaning of our existence, try to discern our place in the world, and attempt to balance our joys and our sorrows. These realities, like the sun, rise and set on every human being on earth.

One of the most encouraging aspects of my work as a counsellor is that people have many similarities that indicate we are closer to each other than we think. It is this commonality that provides us all with an opportunity. We all intimately know, at one time or another, the drive to soothe our souls, and we all know how it feels when this urge morphs unnoticed into addiction. Addiction touches all of us at some point in our lives. Some of us satiate our pain and our longings with food, some with work, some with drugs, some with shopping, some with hyper texting/social networking, some with

gambling, some with gossip, some with sex, and some with ________. Whatever we fill the ‘blank’ with, some of the reasons why we do it are because it feels good, or the recreation helps us escape for a while, or so we can cope. Isn’t that why we all know the trap of addiction so well? It is comforting to alleviate pain and soothe the longings of our existence—it can feel like a euphoric warm blanket. This scenario, combined with deep-seated emotional and psychological drives can lead us down a path where we feel our autonomy slowly slip away as things get out of control. For many, life’s struggles are compounded by factors such as poverty, oppression, stress, injustice, health, abuse, criminalization, early childhood trauma and marginalization to name a few. The reason this is encouraging is not that we struggle or that we sometimes lose our way in surviving—it is encouraging because we all exist somewhere along the spectrum of these experiences and this provides us all with an opportunity: empathy breeds compassion.

We are all sovereign individuals that in a perfect world should be able to have the freedom in choosing the direction of our own lives as long as we don’t infringe on the freedom of others. Yet the concept of ‘Live and let live’ is difficult for most of us to practice well. Something else works against this concept for when we don’t understand someone we tend to fear them, and this leads to all forms of unhelpful treatments of others. We all have the capacity to participate in making someone a scapegoat because they are too stark a reminder of what scares us about ourselves. But when we recognize our common struggles, we can replace

our fears with understanding and we can begin to empower others through relationships to the benefit of us all.

We as a community can be the first line of ‘prevention and treatment’ for each other when others amongst us are struggling. We all know how it feels when we seek belonging but are met instead with marginalization. We all know on some level the sting of judgment or the crushing weight of oppression. And the opposite is true. We all know the power of a smile, a kind word, or an act of acceptance that provided reprieve when we felt like we couldn’t face another day. There is a place for the treatment of addiction and personal pain to be addressed in the confidential environment of counselling or support groups, and there are times when people need to attend residential treatment programs or seek other interventions that match their needs and their world view. However, I still believe many of society’s ills and its subsequent breakdowns can be prevented and treated if we replace fear with compassion in our interactions with one another. One path that leads to satisfying the void of our existence and to healing the depths of our pain is found in turning away from counterfeit forms of fulfillment and embracing authentic relationships built on unconditional love, freedom, and mercy. Liberty and life’s meaning can be found in how we relate with strangers, neighbours, friends, family and nature. In this way, we can soothe the soul in Hope.

The shocking story of 100 sled dogs being shot execution-style after the Olympic Games in Whistler last year is attracting worldwide attention.

Indeed, this was an outrageously reprehensible act, particularly since it appears it was economically motivated. The bottom had dropped out of the tourist dog-sledding business after the Games.

Yet as appalling as this case is, people should find the following information even more alarming.

In 2009, the BCSPCA conducted 5,870 cruelty investigations; removed 1,332 animals from dangerous or neglectful situations, and rescued an additional 3,443 injured animals; executed 133 warrants; and submitted 62 charges of animal cruelty and neglect to Crown. The amount of government funding the BCSPCA received to undertake this crucial work, which comprised $2 million of the organization’s $25 million budget? Not a cent.

The BCSPCA is the only animal welfare agency in the province authorized to conduct animal cruelty

investigations, and is officially responsible for protecting and rescuing animals. It does so almost entirely via charity — public and private donations. That tells you the importance successive governments have placed upon animal welfare. It doesn’t warrant a sorry penny.

Animal cruelty laws in B.C. were strengthened in 2008, yet penalties remain light, with a maximum fine of $5,000. That’s if Crown takes the case at all. Only about 50 per cent of charges submitted are approved.

Hopefully, justice will be brought to bear against the perpetrator of the sled dog slaughter.

But more importantly, we hope this case will bring public and political attention and anger upon the government’s neglect of the BCSPCA. The greatest good to come from all of this would be consistent, adequate funding of the organization responsible for animal welfare, further toughening of cruelty laws, and more legislation reform to make prosecution and conviction easier.

That would be a worthy legacy for those 100 dogs.

Government run by big business

Editor: Black PressI was amazed to learn

from Tom Fletcher that the B.C. New Democratic Party is in deep trouble, mainly because it believes it’s wrong that the fraction of British Columbians who control most of the wealth keep getting richer while the rest of us keep getting poorer.

Before Jan. 26 I thought it was the B.C. Liberal Party whose leader has been forced to resign in a shower of accusations of lying to the public and bungling the introduction of the hated HST. I thought it was the B.C. Liberals who were wallowing in the B.C. Rail scandal, the Kash Heed scandal, maintaining Canada’s lowest minimum wage, allowing a high rate of jobs lost through raw log exports, encouraging controversial net-cage salmon farming and waffling over proposed increases in oil tanker traffic.

But no, it’s the NDP who are the villains. They simply don’t accept the rule of the Gordon Campbells who get together with Big Business to pile up profits and tell the B.C.

public what’s good for them. New Democrats seem to think that the first function of a democratic government is to reflect the needs and wishes of the people, not the financial ambitions of the wealthy and powerful.

Clearly the working class must be guided by politicians and corporate CEOs

t h r o u g h controls funded by insidious schemes like the HST, which lightens the tax load of Big Business by putting more of it on the ordinary taxpayer.

Otherwise, the vast gap between the haves and the have-nots might start getting smaller, and we’d all be in deep trouble.

Tony EbertsNew Westminster

For the person who loves finding out something new, there really is no better place to hang out than a public library.

Earlier this week, in an e-mail from a library user, I was sent a list of the BBC’s “100 Books to read before you die”. I quickly read it over and highlighted the ones that I’d read, mentally noted how many I hadn’t read, and realized I that still have quite a bit of reading to do! But there was something niggling about what my correspondent had written about “the 100 is a bit of a cheat”, citing entries that were duplicated or multiple titles from the same author (like the complete works of Shakespeare).

So I dug a little deeper. Turns out that a similar version of the list was first published by the BBC in 2003 and this list was morphed somehow with a list published in 2007 by The Guardian UK.

The original BBC list and the list I received (and that is currently making the rounds on the internet) share only 63 titles – a whopping 37 have been changed. Yet when the list was posted to FaceBook, it was prefaced with this authoritative sounding “fact”: “The BBC believes the majority of people will have only read 6 of the 100 books here.”

Here are the things I learned: first, I learned not to believe everything you read (okay, I re-learned that one – refresher course!) and second, I learned what a meme is.

The “100 Books” list is a good example of a FaceBook meme. Merriam-Webster Online defines a meme as “an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture”. It’s

the cultural equivalent of a gene – information is passed on and this information is subject to mutation and natural selection. Way cool as a concept but a real caveat in our electronic world.

And this ties in nicely to what is happening at the library right now as we prepare for Freedom to Read Week. We have red hearts available so people can tell us about books they’ve loved; and black hearts so people can tell us about what books they’ve wondered about, as in “Why is this book even in our library?” And on February 23, Mary Kierans, FVRL’s Manager of Support Services, will host a discussion of challenged books here at the library at 7:00 p.m.

Already we have a couple of black hearts posted. “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian” by Sherman Alexie and “The Sea” by John Banville. Be sure to come in before the 23rd to let us know your red heart and black heart choices.

And now I turn with sadness to note the passing of Julie Houlker, one of the three authors of the book “Choosing to Smile: Inspirational Life Stories of Three Friends Who Happened to Have Cancer”. Julie and her friends, Gloria Standeven and Michelle Rickaby, were at the library speaking about their book last October and a small but enthusiastic crowd was charmed by these three women.

This is an inspiring book for anyone whose life has been touched by cancer - so please save the date: Glenda and Michelle will again visit the Hope Library on Wednesday evening, May 25. Come and meet these ladies, they are truly awesome!

This week’s staff pick: “The Book of Awesome” by Neil

Pasricha, the book that inspired the “Coquihalla School Book of Awesome”. Read it and you’ll see why!

Conservatives are thirty years behind the timesEditor: The StandardOne of Harper’s central

campaign platforms in the next Federal election will be his so-called “ t o u g h - o n - c r i m e ” agenda. In this, Harper will try to prove to you that only the Conservatives are being tough on crime. They will point to their plan to spend billions of your dollars to build new prisons. The intent of this is, that by putting more people away for longer periods of times, the crime rate will fall and all those “dastardly”

criminals will be away from us.

This unbelievably simplistic agenda is not only 100 per cent wrong, it is ridiculous to the extreme.

If a “tough on crime” agenda works, then why is it that every “right-wing” state in the United States has come to realize the folly of this approach?

As NDP MPs Don Davies and Pat Martin recently pointed out in the Canadian Parliament, U.S. conservative politicians are calling

for rehabilitation and investments in community services. Even former Republican U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich wrote a piece in the Washington Post suggesting U.S. prison policies are too expensive and don’t lead to effective rehabilitation of criminals.

Gingrich noted that it cost $68 Billion to run U.S. prisons in 2010 and that the prison population is growing 13 times faster than the population of the U.S. Yet, half of released prisoners will

commit another crime within three years. Many Americans are advocating initiatives such as drug-courts, mental illness treatments, and keeping the prisons only for dangerous offenders by putting low-risk offenders into community supervision.

Pat Martin has stated that the Conservative right-wing ideology of trying to lock up a whole generation of aboriginal youth is outdated. We all know that aboriginal youth make

up a disproportionate percentage of the prison population in Canada.

So, as you see Harper pushing this antiquated crime agenda, please remember that even in very conservative U.S. states, they have come to realize the folly of their past ways and are looking for initiatives that really work. Don’t you think that it is time that we did the same in Canada?

LettersDogsledding is a part of our Canadian heritage

Editor: Black PressThe slaughter of 100 healthy

husky sled dogs by Whistler Outdoor Adventures is disturbing at the very least.

I am appalled, and saddened that the needless slaughter of an animal that has had such a bond with man for hundreds of years, an animal that warmed our children’s beds, an animal that sounded the alarm when we were asleep, and helped us carve the many trade routes

throughout BC.Dogsledding has been a

part of Canadian culture for hundreds of years, a part of my Metis aboriginal heritage. These animals deserve the same respect they show us, and the culling comes post 2010 Olympics that featured all of the Aboriginal Peoples of Canada. This is an insult to a long celebrated aboriginal tradition, a Canadian tradition.

The criminals responsible for

this horrific act, must be held accountable. Now is the time for the many groups who work with these animals to come forward and help restore dogsledding to the humane and respectable sport it deserves.

The call to stop all dogsledding in B.C. is concerning, and it seems the mistakes of a few could harm the greater good of all.

One of Hope’s most charming assets at risk if not supported

Editor: The Standard As a long-time fan of our

local movie theatre, The Hope Cinema, I’ve lately become concerned. Audience numbers seem to be in decline, and I’m puzzled as to why. Even family-friendly blockbusters that would have filled the theatre a few years ago are only attracting a few dozen people. Are we all at home watching our plasma screens? Driving to the multi-plex in Chilliwack? Updating our Facebook status? As much as I like DVDs, nothing beats the look of film projected

on a big screen. Combined with a powerful sound system and an audience to share it with, it’s still my favourite movie experience. I’ve always thought that Hope is blessed to have such a great theatre right in the heart of town. Owner Kevin Larson has put tens of thousands of dollars into renovating and improving the theatre, from the new neon sign outside, to the cushioned seats that were shipped from a theatre in New York City. The screen is large, the digital sound is state-of-the-art, and the popcorn has real butter! His

prices are also much lower than the nearest multiplex. Kevin’s passion for movies has kept this theatre open for the last decade, but for how much longer? I’m concerned that we could lose this charming asset if we don’t support it. So I urge you good citizens of Hope, to come out and see the Oscar-nominated films that are coming in February. You’ll have a great time, and you’ll be supporting a local business that energizes the social life and economy of our town.

Excludes roaming partners’ HSPA and GSM/Edge coverage in certain parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan. Speed may vary due to topography, environmental conditions, device type and other factors. HSPA+ not available in all areas. Bell.ca/network.

When we think about wireless in Canada, we think about wireless in Hope.At Bell we are proud to be at the forefront of Canada’s world-class wireless industry. And our definition of Canada includes small, rural and growing communities.

That’s why, unlike others, we’ve invested billions of dollars to build the fastest and largest high-speed wireless network across Canada,1 reaching over 96% of the population. That contributes to an environment in which virtually every individual and business can access the information, entertainment and productivity tools they need both at home and abroad.

A key focus in deploying the network was the delivery of wireless broadband access both to urban markets and to previously underserved small and rural communities. Having access to this network, and leading-edge devices like Turbo Hubs, Turbo Sticks, Tablets and the latest Smartphones, means communities like yours can be more productive, leading to economic efficiency, job growth, access to education and information, and the ability to market locally produced goods and services not just to the rest of Canada, but to the world.

Our next leap forward will be a 4G network capable of delivering wireless speeds of over 100 Mbps. And we hope to deploy urban and rural concurrently, so that everyone can benefit equally and everywhere.

Bachelors battle it out for a beautyThe Hope Curling Club’s Women’s Bonspiel lived up to their tradition for over-the-top dinner entertainment with a tropical-themed dating game. Bachelorette Joy Hill, had her choice of going on a date with an Indiana Jones-style Bachelor #1, Stu Wise, a rubber gloved surgeon, Bob Ridgway, or walking the wild side with Bachelor #3, Kyle Limb (l-r). And Limb was the crowd favourite too, but not until the mad surgeon gave him a few witty answers to the bachelorette’s questions. But over the weekend there was also some serious curlers on the ice. Results in the A Event: 1st - Jones team - Chilliwack; 2nd - Klebe team - Chilliwack; 3rd - Floyd team - Hope; 4th - Harvey team - Hope. In the B Event: 1st - Desjardins team - Hope; 2nd - Cowan team - Langley; 3rd - Gauthier team - New Westminster; and 4th Hruby team - New Westminster. In the C Event: 1st - Younghusband team - Gibsons; 2nd - Carmichael team - Abbotsford; 3rd - Gilroy team - Hope; and 4th - Gledhill team - Hope.

Business

One day before Ernest Borgnine was presented with his Lifetime Achievement Award he spent a moment or two with Hope’s Anna Gladue, of Anna’s Incense.

SUBMITTED

Working the starsA surprise phone call

two weeks ago offered up and delivered a local business owner a great opportunity to hobnob with the stars.

Brushing away her hesitation, it was an opportunity the young entrepreneur just couldn’t resist.

Anna Gladue, headed out on a flight from Vancouver to LA, already booked in at the historic Sportsmen’s Lodge, in Studio City.

In its day the Sportsmen was a hang out for the greats: Clark Gable, Bette Davis, John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, and Spencer Tracy. Now it would be home to the small town entrepreneur and owner of Anna’s Incense, for the next few days as she mixed it up with today’s stars Jonathan Silverman, Estelle Harris, Eric Estrada, Mari lu Henner, Tommy Davidson, Scott Baio, Chris Atkins, Christopher McDonald, Chris Rich, Tempest Bledsoe, Joe Mantegna, Dot Jones and Ernest Borgnine.

It was Borgnine’s daughter who had made the phone call inviting the owner of the Hope company to her event.

“The event was called “Celebrating the Screen Actors Guild Awards” Gifting Suite.

The event coordinator, Nancee Borgnine, of The Borgnine Group, was also celebrating her father, Ernest Borgnine’s, Lifetime Achievement Award.

“My ‘Gifting Suite’ event was on Saturday, January 29, and Mr. Borgnine received his award from Betty White, last year’s recipient, on Sunday, January 30, at the actual awards show,”

said the owner of the small internet-based incense manufacturing company.

And Nancee Borgnine’s phone call to the Hope company had come as a big surprise. “I received a phone call out of the blue around January 14th. Nancee told me about the event, and that her sister had recommended that our incense be included

in the gifting suite. She thought that my website looked great, professional, and asked if I could put together a booth for her event? I was skeptical at first but eventually decided to go for it,” said Gladue.

Not one to be too star struck, the down to earth incense - impresar io got right to work.... setting up and working

her well-traveled trade show booth.

“It was a good thing that I brought my sister-in-law Tracie, I had to keep turning around and saying, who is that, who is that....

Each celebrity she met was gifted with a specialty glass sine-wave incense burner, 100 freshly dipped Anna’s Incense Sticks, a fresh sage smudge and a few postcards and business cards – all compliments of Anna’s Incense.

“It was exciting to take my experience with trade shows and sales and apply it to a completely different venue. The event was very much like a tradeshow, but the attendees were celebrities.

“Clearly being able to shake Ernest Borgnine’s hand was exciting, this is a man who at 94 years-old is sharp, kind and works hard like a pro. He is inspiring.”

Over the weekend, Anna also got a chance to work a gift exchange or two with other participants in the show heading home this week with their equally unique products like alcohol-infused whipping cream, a woman’s wishing blanket, organic mints, a Tempur-Pedic teddy bear, and purse made out of the same rubber as ‘DAWGS’.

Plunge yourself into beauty, light and colour

Luscious. Juicy. These are words that George Rychter uses to describe his explorations of organic forms. Yes, it’s another side of George, this following visual beauty, light and colour to create ‘bleaf portal’, the show presented in the Back Room at Hope Arts Gallery for February.

The gallery at 349 Fort St, has reopened for 2011 with new work on all the walls, and is proud to present this exhibition which celebrates organic forms that are abstracted to ‘touch sensuously upon the sublime.’

George is a well-known hotelier in Hope B.C., and recognized for his earthy sense of humour and love of laughter. Although he’s a busy guy, he’s willing to take on tasks as a member of the Hope Lions Club. He’s dedicated to his family, his community, and his art.

His pursuit of the

creative initially led George overseas to England and the Portsmouth College of Arts and Design, and then on to Brighton Polytechnic where he received his Bachelor of Fine Arts. He returned to Canada and the University of Regina where he completed his Master of Fine Arts in 1979. He shared his knowledge as an assistant professor and artist in residence at the university from 1984 through 1986. In the late 1990’s, George, along with Ed Hill, and other local artists, was involved in the initial development of the Hope Artists Guild.

For the last two years his artwork has been concerned with a “painterly use” of digital images. This exploration is a return to his creative passions after a lapse of about fifteen years, while the hotel business absorbed much of his energy. Based on the colour and line of small organic

forms, the images grow and become glowing abstract celebrations of his artistic journey.

Rychter is presenting nearly 20 of his latest works that have been light jet printed and laminated to Plexiglas. One, titled ‘Homage to Jim Morrison’ is mounted in a light box, resulting in a blaze of fluid radiance that hints at psychedelia. Other pieces seem bright with the possibility of embryonic form, or reflect the sensuous.

His ‘bleaf portal’ show at the Hope Arts Gallery is the first time that Rychter has shown this collection of his work in one place.

“Take the visual plunge, to playfully linger in the blush of strange beauty,” says Rychter, in inviting everyone to the gallery.

More of George Rychter’s work can be viewed on his website at bleafportal.com

His show runs until February 28th.

MAN VERSUS MACHINE: Who do you think would win a game of “Jeopardy”: Ken Jennings or an arti-ficially intelligent super-computer?

Viewers will soon be treated to such an unlikely matchup when Jen-nings, who holds the “Jeopardy” re-cord for winning 74 games in a row, returns to the game show’s set. He’ll be joined by Brad Rutter, who’s known for winning the most money, more than $3 million.

The third contestant is named Watson, but this competitor isn’t flesh and bone. Instead, Watson is made up of computer chips and copper wire.

A group of scientists from IBM assembled the system to meet a challenge, to see if the highly intelli-gent machine can hold its own against the game’s greatest cham-pions.

Named after IBM founder Thom-as J. Watson, the computer is meant to mimic and even rival a human’s ability to answer questions with similar levels of speed and accuracy. “Jeopardy” is a particularly difficult test for a computer, since the ques-tions involve subtleties in word choice and other nuances that can trip up the best human players.

A whopping $1 million top prize is on the line in this competition, which will consist of two matches taking place over three days. Airing from Feb. 14-16, the contest will al-low every player to go home with something. Second place has a prize of $300,000, and the third-place fin-isher will be awarded $200,000.

Jennings and Rutter have pledged to donate half of their win-nings to charity, while IBM intends to give away every cent that it earns. For the company, this is purely about test-ing the abil-ities of its technology.

“Beyond our excite-ment for the match itself, our team is very motivat-

ed by the possibilities that Watson’s breakthrough computing capabili-ties hold for building a smarter plan-et and helping people in their busi-ness tasks and personal lives,” said IBM scientist David Ferrucci.

‘GLEE’ GUEST CONTEST: Oxy-gen is about to hit a high note with a new form of reality television.

Now, with the help of executive producers Ryan Murphy and Dante Di Loreto, a reality competition show is being created to award one winner a role on a different, bigger TV series.

And it isn’t just any TV series, it’s Fox’s hit musical comedy “Glee,” which has, in fewer than two sea-sons, become a global cultural phe-nomenon.

In Oxygen’s “The Glee Project,” budding singers and actors will come together for a 10-episode con-test to determine who will win a coveted seven-episode guest-star-ring role in Season 3 of “Glee.”

Murphy and Di Loreto, who exec-utive produce the hit Fox show, will lend serious weight to the cabler’s project, which is set to premiere this June. This will mark the first time a reality show’s prize is awarding a role in a show on a different net-work.

“The combination of talent in this production team is really a dream come true,” said Oxygen’s Amy In-trocaso-Davis. “With this group of inspirational producers, we’ve set out to uncover the best young and fresh talent in the country and give someone this once-in-a-lifetime op-portunity.”

A national casting search, which had help from “Glee” stars Chord Overstreet and Darren Criss, was re-cently completed, drawing more than 40,000 hopeful applicants.

During the televised competition, contestants will have to go through multiple workshops, complete “Glee”-themed tasks and endure call backs and other tests.

Since Fox premiered “Glee” in 2009, the series and its stars have won four Emmy Awards, with an additional 16 nominations, and have had four more wins at the Golden Globes.

Coaches Steve Link (r) and Mattijs Schonewille prep their students for their next drill in last week’s winter maintenance swim session. Nineteen swimmers are taking part in the program, many of them Hope Otters.

Polishing their skillsBy Barry Stewart

The Hope Standard

Stroke by stroke, a bunch of local kids are improving their swimming skills in preparation for the coming summer swim season.

Mattijs Schonewille and Steve Link — two local dads with a history in the sport — have agreed to take on winter coaching positions, in affiliation with the Chilliwack Spartans swim club. Since the beginning of January, they’ve been running 1nine kids through conditioning and stroke refinement exercises on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

The group’s program was designed by Justin Daly, head coach of the Spartans and Schonewille and Link carry it out, with a few of their own adjustments.

“We did a session in Hope last winter,” said Daly on Monday. “I met Steve because his kids were swimming there and I learned that he was an ex-swimmer and coach in Saskatchewan. I asked him if he’d like to help coach — and then I met Mattijs at the Master’s swimming group that I coach in Chilliwack and

asked him if he’d like to coach too.”

“I’ve been swimming since I was seven years old,” said Schonewille on Monday. “I was a swimming coach in Holland and after that, I was a water polo player and coach at the highest level, the European League. I played for about 15 years. In Italy, there are professional water polo players — but in Holland it’s more of a hobby.”

Three years ago Mattijs, his wife Manon and their family moved to Hope, where the couple operate an internet services business. Link is a teacher at Hope Secondary.

“The focus of our group is to work on stroke techniques — and to have fun,” explained Schonewille. “We’ll also be getting into the rules for swim meets and how to do a competition without getting disqualified.

Sessions start at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, starting with a dry land warm-up followed by one hour in the water. Kids are involved in setting up and winding up the lane markers as part of their training.

“We’ve got a pretty good

group,” added Schonewille. “More than half of them were with the Hope Otters last summer.”

His daughters Sofie and Noa weren’t with the local club last year but Emma and Darby Link were, along with 22 other kids.

“We do stroke and kick tests and compare the results to the Chilliwack swimmers,” said Schonewille. “Justin says we’re doing about as well as they are.”

The 10-week session ends just before spring break, then another starts up after the break, ending in late May. With the Otters’ summer swim club starting at the beginning of May, there will be some overlap to deal with, said Otters’ president Stacey Gauthier on Monday.

“I’m yet to have a meeting with my executive,” he said. “Then we’ll have to meet with the parents to lay out a plan for the upcoming season.

“Our summer season is supposed to start on May 1 but we need to secure coaching through the summer — and this has to be discussed at the executive level first.

“The Spartans are

considered a winter club that can train through the whole year,” explained Gauthier, whose son Nick is taking part in their winter maintenance program.

“They’re running a basic program for our kids, who are allowed to swim for one hour, twice a week in the winter under a coach’s supervision. If they swim more than that, they can’t compete with the regular kids in summer swimming. They’d have to swim in the O-class.

“The current session was $225 for 10 weeks, which included insurance through the Spartans. The next one will be $175 for those who swam in the first session.

“Once the summer season begins in May, they’re allowed to swim multiple hours for up to five days a week. We only trained twice a week last year — but it’s a matter of how much time and money the parents are willing to put into it... and the pool and coaching availability.”

Check with Dan Sharrers Aquatic Center staff if you’d like to find out more about the winter maintenance or Otters swim programs.

“I was a swimming coach in Holland and after that, I was a water polo player and coach at the highest level, the European League. I played for about 15 years. In Italy, there are professional water polo players — but

in Holland it’s more of a hobby.”
