The District applies for infrastructure grants for Pollution Control Centre upgrades

Guns were blazing Sunday as members from the Hope Rod and Gun Club took aim at steel targets during their monthly western themed Cowboy Action, in which competitors dress in 19th century garb and shoot to win. Aliases of the shooters included Schofield Kid, Parson Pickaxe, Rooster, Appaloosa Screw and Mascot.

Th e District of Hope recently applied for provincial and federal infrastructure grants to upgrade the Pollution Control Centre (PCC). Th e system is currently running on a grandfa-thered operating certifi cate that doesn't neces-sarily match modern day regulation standards.

“It's very likely that the current operation of the PCC will not be allowed under the grand-fathered certifi cate in the future,” said Mayor Wilfried Vicktor. “It's more than likely that regulations will be more stringent in the future — the District should be prepared to conform to updated standards.”

It was decided by the majority of council

as an appropriate course of action at a special meeting, based on a report provided by Opus DaytonKnight Consultants Ltd.

Th e report outlined the stages and cost of projected short-term and long-term system upgrades to deal with specifi c issues aff ecting treatment performance.

According to the detailed report provided by Opus DaytonKnight, for the PCC to stay abreast of modern regulations, a new dish filtration system and a UV treatment system were recommended.

Th e District agreed to go ahead with the sug-gested upgrades as well as the more immedi-ate concerns outlined by the company, which stated “the aeration diff users and fl ow control

distribution boxes that allow for lagoon cell isolation are beyond their design lifetime and in need of replacement.”

The company projected that a “major pro-cess expansion” was required to meet federal and provincial regulations over a 20 year de-sign life.

Th e total of the upgrades is estimated at ap-proximately $2.4 million and with the applica-tion for federal and provincial infrastructure grants fi rmly in place, the District would only have to absorb less than one third of the costs.

“Th ere are reserve funds available for this purpose — it's not politically fl ashy, but it's mandatory. Pollution control is a core service,” said Vicktor.

Sometimes when things become so prevalent in our society, we forget they do have the potential for problems. NSAIDs is a class of pain-relieving medication that is highly advertised on the media and includes drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen. They are available without prescription but they can raise the risk of heart attack in people with existing heart disease. If you do need pain relief, try acetaminophen and if you do use NSAIDs, use the lowest dose possible.

Inhaled insulin is quite an

attractive idea to diabetics who have to inject insulin daily. One version came on the market in the US. in June 2014 but the company pulled it from the market in January 2016. It never made it to Canada.

Lowering your blood pressure is one of the best ways of reducing your risk of heart attack and stroke. However, many people don’t even know they have high blood pressure. If you might be one of these, have your blood pressure checked soon. High blood pressure is easily treated and it could save your life.

What’s in your toothpaste? It is still a good idea to use a toothpaste containing uoride. It is proven to prevent cavities and strengthen tooth enamel. People worried about toxicity of uoride (it is toxic in large doses), don’t have to worry about the minuscule amount in toothpaste.

If you have an understanding of how medications work in your body, you will make a greater effort to take your medication as the doctor ordered. We can help.

Hope RCMP, with the assistance of mem-bers from Boston Bar RCMP, were able to successfully take a rogue cow into custo-dy shortly before 4:30 p.m. last Tuesday af-ternoon, without any injuries to either the bovine, police mem-bers or members of the general public.

There had been concerns for both the walking and motoring public as the Highland steer seemed to be en-joying a brief moment of freedom outside its usual fenced com-pound.

Police officers, act-ing swiftly, were able to confine the ani-mal of husbandry to a wooded area. RCMP

were able to observe the cow cheerfully grazing in a local field. Investigation is on going to determine

if there is sufficient evidence to charge the unruly bovine for tres-passing and grazing in an unlawful location.

"The amount that I'm bothered by the cow — zero," said nearby witness Terry Chowoloski.

The assistance of local "cow whisperer" Ionela Garrett and her horse Bolt was utilized and eventually lead to the successful appre-hension of the way-ward beast.

"The attending po-lice officers are to be commended for their swift response and dedication to duty while ensuring the safety of the residents in the area during this protracted event," said Staff Sergeant Karol Rehdner.

"I would like to as-sure the public that this was a singular event and that police believe this is not the beginning of a mass outbreak of carefree cattle."

The Mounties always get their cow

Bystanders, cow whisperers and RCMP joined forces to wrangle a wayward Highland steer that was wandering around cheerfully near Landstrom Rd. last Tuesday.

The Popkum Fire Department responded to a fire involving a recreational vehicle Sunday at 7: 30 p.m. 1 km West of Herrling Island. When firefighters arrived on scene, the vehicle was completely engulfed in flames, and the owners were nowhere to be found.“We arrived approximately 13 minutes after we received the call and stayed for about an hour,” said Emergency Services Manager for the FVRD, Chris Wilson. After the flames were extinguished, fire crews left the scene in the care of RCMP.“My members arrived but there were no signs of foul play,” said RCMP Fraser Valley Traffic Services Sgt. Mario Cloutier. “This led us to believe it was probably a mechanical malfunction.”

RV goes up in flames near Herrling Island Fire spreadsTh e B.C. government

is preparing to send medical and psychologi-cal teams to help care for people evacuated from Fort McMurray, as the B.C. Wildfi re Service works to contain a fi re that has burned across the Alberta border north of Fort St. John.

Th e Siphon Creek wildfi re was estimated at 9,000 hectares as it spread into Alberta on Th ursday.

B.C. ground crews and helicopters are working to contain it, with prior-ity on protecting the Doig River First Nation com-munity south of the fi re. Th e largest B.C. fi re in a cluster in the north Peace region is the Beatton Air-port Road fi re, estimated at 10,000 hectares.

It was listed as 85 per cent contained by Friday morning, and the Alaska

Highway reopened aft er the fi re crossed to the west side of the highway. Th e Peace River Re-gional District issued an evacuation order Th urs-day for the area around Mile 80 of the Alaska Highway and the area aff ected by the Beatton Airport Road fi re.

With eight signifi cant fi res in the region keep-ing B.C. fi re crews and aircraft busy, the province has shipped pumps and hoses to Alberta to assist.

A mobile hospital and a team of volunteer coun-sellors, social workers and psychologists was be-ing prepared Friday to as-sist with evacuees in Al-berta. Th e fi re has forced the evacuation of 88,000 people and destroyed part of the town.

Erin Knutson & The Hope Rod and Gun ClubHope Standard

Cowboys and cowgirls were invited to the Hope Rod and Gun Club's Cowboy Action Shoot on Sunday. The popular monthly event features shoot-ers in traditional western garb and is targeted for families and anyone wanting to test their mettle in a series of old west themed courses designed for time and accuracy.

The once a month compe-tition features shooters, who compete in various scenarios using firearms typical of the era. Single action revolvers, pistol caliber lever action rifles, and old-time shotguns were implemented as each contes-tant battled it out for top score.

There were three stages in the competition with each stage testing different skills and abilities, affording shooters the chance to improve upon overall

accuracy and handling. The Cowboy Action Shoot

follows the sanctions of the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS,) an international or-ganization that preserves and promotes the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting.

To get in the old-time mood, participants were encouraged to dress in clothing appropriate to the 19th Century era. Shooters were able to choose a fi ctional character or to develop their own personal icon.

Th e club suggests that partici-pants start with blue jeans, cow-boy boots, and a hat. Costumes can be as elaborate or minimal as the individual desires.

Bankers, blacksmiths, law-men, gunslingers, railroad en-gineers, saloon girls, school-marms, cavalry, mountain men, trail cowboys, prairie women and just about any imaginable character from the bygone era are conceivable.

Competitors were only male on Sunday (due to a smaller turnout for Mother's Day,) but the club is home to both male and female shooters.

Costumes and accessories added to the fun and set the mood for taking care of business in the old west according to club member Louise O'Hara, who was on hand taking score for the day's activities.

Fierce competitors with the aliases of Scofi eld Kid, Vest Windbreaker, Parson Pickaxe, Rooster and Appaloose Screw were reigning havoc on targets during the event.

Sunday was just one of many exciting things the club is up to.

Rod and Gun Club Presi-dent George Preston, a retired RCMP officer with over 31 years in the force met with The Hope Standard to discuss some of what the prestigious organi-zation has to offer.

CommunitySharp shooters on the range“We are an active or-

ganization, there's a lot of people in town who have an interest in fi rearms,” said Preston who teaches the PAL course. To be eli-gible to apply for the PAL, applicants must have al-ready passed the written and practical tests for the Canadian Firearms Safe-ty Course (CFSC.)

Th e PAL course teaches safety and how to handle a gun properly in accor-dance with the licensing system in Canada.

According to Pres-ton, a fi rearm cannot be owned, unless the pur-chaser has obtained a PAL certifi cate.

Th ere's a prohibitive screening process that a candidate must undergo before they can even take the PAL course, which operates as a system to weed out the good candi-dates from the bad.

“It's all about safety — I won't pass some-one unless I feel they are safe,” said Preston. “I will meet with people be-forehand to get a feeling about them and there's a few I've refused because something was off .”

Preston begins his in-terviews by asking people why they want to own a gun, and if they can't come up with a suffi cient answer he red fl ags them. Any issues, like marital trouble, or psychological problems are par for pre-venting people from ac-quiring fi rearms or even completing the courses to obtain them.

Th e club consists of 170 properly screened members and because of

the small size, members know other members and can discuss any is-sues amongst each other.

“So far we haven't had to kick anyone out because we know who our members are,” said Preston.

Th ere are many rea-sons that people join gun clubs, one of them being that a regulation to owning a small hand gun in Canada, is that the owner be a member of a rod and gun club.

“Th ey have to com-ply with legislation, so some members join for that reason. We're also a hunting society, every-body has a gopher story where they fi red a round at gophers and ground-hogs or hunted ducks with their Dad.”

Generally people have had a positive experi-ence with fi rearms and they join because of the

events and opportuni-ties available to them at the club, including .22 Shoot, Tactical Shoot, Trap Shoot, Pistol Shoot and Cowboy Action.

Shooters can start as young as 12 under su-pervision and with core safety courses under their belts.

“People come out for the social aspect of it, and we also have a pistol league on Wednesday's because there's a lot of people in town with hand guns, who don't know what to do with them and I teach them how to shoot in a course of fi re.”

A course of fi re in-volves shooting steel tar-gets in a specifi c sequence according to Preston, who is adamant about safety briefi ngs and range protocol for all shooters.

Newbies can try out a fi rearm at the .22 shoot under Preston's supervi-

sion and instruction. He currently instructs the local RCMP in fi rearm training sessions at the RCMP Pacifi c Region Training Centre in Chilli-wack and is a competitor in various fi rearm com-petitions on the national scene. Th e club adheres to all Canadian safety regulations and has had quite a history over the years. It is home to a solid group of community ori-ented business people, who have undertaken many community initia-tives like fi shing derbies, and participating in last year's Fraser River Clean Up. Potential gunsling-ers are encouraged to fi nd out more about the club's many events and are invited to attend one of their scheduled shoots, where they can chat with members of the organiza-tion.

Arson investigated in northern B.C. As many as 10 wildfires in

northeast B.C. this spring may have been deliberately set.

Environment Minister Mary Polak said Tuesday evidence an apparent string of arsons has been turned over to conserva-tion officers to track the source of the fires.

The B.C. government has tripled the fine for not comply-

ing with burning restrictions to $1,150, but deliberately set fires are more serious.

"Arson would result poten-tially in criminal charges, and if somebody was convicted, they would see jail time," Polak said.

Rapid snow-melt and an ear-ly warm spell created high fire hazard in areas of dry grass, sparking forest fires north of

Fort St. John that forced hun-dreds of people to evacuate.

Evacuees were allowed to go home on Sunday after rain and snow slowed the fires.

Crews and aircraft in Alberta and B.C. continue to work on the Siphon Creek fire, which grew to more than 50,000 hect-ares as it crossed he provincial border.

2013CCNABLUE

Raeside corner

Disagreements persist on the extent of humanity’s role in the current changes to B.C.’s climate, and our ability to influence it, as many readers have told me in the past week.

But almost everyone seems to agree that growing more and healthier forests is a good strategy. I would add that harvesting and building with wood preserves its captured carbon, a fact not much discussed in emotional appeals against logging.

Th e B.C. government is fi nally spending some money on com-munity fuel load removal projects this year, aft er an initial fl urry fol-lowing the Kelowna fi res of 2003

faded in hard times. But the eff ects of decades of fi re suppression in a fi re-dependent forest system re-main, as northern B.C. and Alberta are showing us again.

Th ere is some positive news here. A Victoria-based government re-search team has published a study that calculates B.C.’s pine beetle-damaged forests are regenerating more quickly than expected.

Warmer temperatures, increased precipitation and the “fertilizer ef-fect” of more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are factors.

“By 2020, the enhanced growth due to climate change and in-creased CO2 more than compen-sates for the carbon loss from dead, rotting trees,” said lead researcher Vivek Arora of the Canadian Cen-tre for Modeling and Analysis.

This recovery even overcomes the projected increase in forest fire loss that comes with gradu-

ally increasing temperatures and drier periods.

Th e federal government is still working on its plan to meet green-house gas reduction targets agreed to in Paris last year. But the forest industry has stepped up with its own goal.

I spoke last week with Derek Nighbor, president of the Forest Products Association of Canada, after he announced his industry’s “30 by 30 Climate Change Chal-lenge.”

Th at’s a goal to reduce the indus-try’s net carbon emissions by 30 megatonnes a year by 2030. Th at would be 13 per cent of the Cana-dian government emission target.

One of the main strategies is salvage harvesting and developing more products that use wood.

“It’s basically trying to use every part of the tree,” Nighbor said. “In forest operations right now, this is

where we see a big part of the op-portunity. Instead of the residual branches and whatnot just being left aside and slashing and burning, bring more of that out and turn it into something.”

Th at something might be a con-sole in a luxury car constructed with wood fi bre, or an 18-storey wood student residence building planned for the University of B.C.

The other is improving forest growth. Logging operations have long been required to replant ar-eas they cut, not just in B.C. but across Canada.

Another way to improve forest carbon capture is with more pro-ductive species, with genetic tech-niques that increase resiliency as well as wood mass.

A background paper from the B.C. forests ministry responds to common misconceptions about forest carbon, including the idea

that logging should be stopped to maximize storage.

“Maximizing carbon storage in the ecosystem would make sense only if society stopped building new homes, acquiring new furni-ture and consuming in general,” it says.

“If the fl ow of forest products stops, society will turn to other products with higher greenhouse gas footprints, e.g. plastics, metal or concrete. In addition, if har-vesting stopped and we continued to suppress natural disturbances, there is increased potential for larger catastrophic disturbances in the future.”

If Canada wants to make a bigger contribution to reducing green-house gases, forests are a good area to focus on. At 348 million hectares from the B.C. coast to Newfound-land, they represent nine per cent of the world’s forests.

In our school system, a two-year wait for an assessment for a child who may have a learn-ing disability or some kind of behavioural issue is consid-ered pretty good.

It’s a pretty shocking fact, and some of our school trust-ees seemed surprised to hear it from the medical health offi cer for Central Vancouver Island, Dr. Paul Hasselback at a recent board meeting.

Th ey shouldn’t be surprised. We’ve been reporting about the problem for years, and their own professionals in the fi eld have spoken quite passionately to the board about it in the past.

Th ough to be fair, that was a diff erent school board and some of the trustees are new.

We hope that perhaps this can encourage a new urgency on this very important issue crippling our school system.

Th e fact of the matter is, it is a long, hard road to get your child any extra help from the public school system. Th e cold, hard truth is that by the time most of these kids get the assessment they need — which doesn’t al-ways lead to adequate in-school support for their problem, school budgets being what they are — many grades have gone by where many of these students have learned virtually nothing.

Oft en they are a problem for the rest of the class, as well, as they prove disruptive and eat

up a lot of their teacher’s time, if their teacher is conscientious in trying to deal with their needs.

Or there are the other kids who don’t act out, they just with-draw quietly into their own little worlds, silent victims fl oating by.

In many classrooms there are a lot more than one or two of these students as well.

By the time their turn for as-sessment rolls around, a lot of these kids are no longer in the public school system, their par-ents long having gotten fed up with the bureaucracy that is so desperately failing these kids.

It is also a whole other prob-lem when parents refuse to admit to themselves that there’s any-thing diff erent about their child.

Th is attitude does a disservice to their child’s class, their child’s teacher, and most of all, their child. When it comes to behav-iour problems, the longer the children go without a proper plan to help them, the worse the whole situation becomes, as undesirable behaviours, and the trouble in school that so oft en comes with them, becomes in-grained, and can even escalate.

We hear all the time about unacceptable wait times for sur-geries at our hospitals and how the government is pouring resources into cutting those lists down. It’s time they do the same for our children who are waiting for assessments at school. Black Press

LettersIs a world-leading clean technology facility

coming to Hope?Emergent Waste Solutions (EWS,) a

British Columbia company, has expressed strong interest in building a groundbreak-ing Clean Technology facility at Hope, which would employ upwards of 25 peo-ple.

EWS intends to build an Advanced Thermolysis System (ATS) within the next year to process wood waste and biosolids from the lower-mainland.

Company CEO, Kevin Hull, explains that “the ATS uses high temperature in its oxygen deprived reactors to break down waste at the molecular level. It is NOT an incineration system and you will NOT see a plume of smoke coming from it.”

According to Hull their thermolysis process creates no toxins as it: destroys pathogens, sequesters heavy metals, elimi-nates odours and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Additionally, Thermolysis manufac-tures pure carbon, oil and syngas; prod-ucts that have a value in the market place,

so unlike other waste management solu-tions the ATS plant will not be an ongoing burden on taxpayers.

Also, it should be noted that EWS is a privately funded enterprise and is not go-ing after taxpayer money for the construc-tion of this facility. Additionally, the plant should create upwards of 25 well paying permanent jobs for the Hope area.

In Canada we have a long history of burying our waste. We've had the space to do it and the blissful ignorance to think it was harmless.

“According to a Conference Board of Canada study published in 2013, Canada fared dismally in terms of the amount of waste we produce.

In 2009 (the data year on which the study was based,) Canada produced 777 kg of garbage per citizen. Across all 17 countries studied, the average was only 578 kg produced.” — CBC News Posted: Jan 17, 2013 12:43 p.m. ET.

Many communities have studied incin-

eration as an alternative but that has its own set of issues; the ever present “not in my backyard” philosophy has raised its head all across the country. In 2010, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives called incineration “noxious and expen-sive.”

However, this pushback from the people and communities of Canada against land-filling, land-spreading and incineration is exposing a fundamental challenge: what then do we do with out waste? Thermoly-sis offers a unique alternative solution: waste remediation without pollution and with a significant reduction in Green-house Gas Emissions.

The high temperature of the thermoly-sis process destroys pathogens, pharma-ceuticals and hormones in the process of converting the waste into marketable products.

One point that Hull was adamant about is that the ATS solution does NOT create a “composted bio-solid product,” a practice

that has been deemed unsafe in recent studies. The ATS is an alternative to the creation and spreading of bio-solids, as it is also an alternative to incineration. By reducing the waste stream load on current municipal infrastructure EWS will extend its life and also mitigate that particular cost to the taxpayer.

Hull pointed out that the technology is “mature and well proven,” having already operated commercially for over ten years. “EWS is within a month of having the first North American plant up and running in Vegreville Alberta, where crumbed rubber tire will be processed.”

Hull has already had a few meetings with community leaders and economic development personnel and has been given a tour of the area. He is “impressed with the people of Hope, their vision for the future and their enterprising attitude.”

A public information event is being is planned for the community.

Letters

Summer “event” has business owners concernedAn anonymous letter

was distributed around the District and submit-ted to Th e Hope Stan-dard. Here is the letter and a response given by a local business owner.

It has come to my at-tention that the Hope Curling Rink is being given a permit to have a fundraising event this summer. Th ey have ap-parently entered into an agreement with a well-known couple so the couple can have an antiques/show event in the curling rink this summer.

Th e couple has pre-viously operated retail store operations selling antiques and collect-Ibles in the retail part

of downtown Hope. I am concerned that to allow them to operate as an “event” out of the curling rink is unfair. Th e couple has previ-ously said that they were looking to rent a retail spot downtown for the summer and that nothing suited their purposes because retail space downtown is too expensive and the landlords want at least a one year lease. Th e couple has said they do not want to enter into a lease due to the high cost and they want to limit their operation to the few busy months summer months. Sud-denly, I hear their op-eration is a “curling

rink fundraiser” and not a “retail store” I am concerned is just twist-ing the facts to suit the couple's and the rink's advantage.

I am hearing that the “event” is to occur over the entire sum-mer. In looking at the District of Hope's own bylaws, which are pre-sumably to be enforced by the District, even if the Couple/Rink are allowed this “event,” it should occur for less than 30 days of the “other events” maxi-mum allowed under the District's own zon-ing bylaws. Th e rink already hosts part of Brigade Days and has a plant sale and pos-sibly other activities. I think to comply with the present zoning and for all fairness sake the “event” should be al-lowed for fewer than 30 days. In my experience

other communities that allow such “events” are allowed for at most an occasional weekend and typically are open to many antiques/col-lectibles dealers not just one couple.

If this event goes ahead as planned all of our retail businesses will be seriously nega-tively impacted. It'll probably force some of us out of business. How can we compete with a summer long “event” which will be able to undercut us because the couple operating at the Hope Curling Rink will not have the normal costs to oper-ate a business, given that they are apparently making a donation to the Rink.

We local legitimate retail stores including three antiques and col-lectibles stores (one of which operates across

the street on 6 Avenue from the Rink.) Th e gift shops, and other stores rely on a profi t-able summer season to help us get through the winter months when shoppers are much fewer. We legitimate businesses pay lease or mortgage costs, taxes, water, sewer, garbage, hydro, gas, business li-censes, insurance, for sign permits, and other business related costs.

My outrage at the unfairness grows larger because the huge Curl-ing Rink appears to be on town land, and there is town parking all around it. Th is land belongs to the people and taxpayers of Hope, us included. Th us, we are being forced into the position of helping to subsidize this “event” and in turn will nega-tively impact our own businesses.

If this is how the Dis-trict of Hope is treating small business then that is a very sad state of af-fairs. When small local business cannot oper-ate, then store fronts sit empty and the town looks derelict. Th is impacts on property values and our little community suff ers as a whole. It looks to me right now that the Dis-trict of Hope Staff , the Mayor, and the Council are favoring the Curl-ing Club (which is a hobby) and one local couple over the legiti-mate retail businesses, and the good of the town in general.

Re: Anonymous letter

I have recently opened a small busi-ness in Hope. Th e re-ception from local peo-ple and businesses has

been fantastic. I hope that I can operate here for many years to come. Even my initial deal-ings with the District of Hope were very posi-tive, especially with the building inspector and Fire Chief.

I am however disap-pointed that the town would allow a “special event” to directly com-pete with a number of permanent businesses. It seems contrary to their “business friend-ly” rhetoric.

Th at said, we are looking forward to meeting everyone, and locals will always get a deal at my store.

Th anks to everyone who has already visited me!

Black and White with a Splash of Colour to expand the Art Room Gallery palette

The Chilliwack Community Arts Council is excited to present its newest gal-lery exhibition, Black and White with a Splash of Colour, fea-turing Hope’s Artist at Work members, Sha-ron Blythe and Jackie Coughlin.

Showcasing the duo’s whimsical acryl-ic and watercolour paintings, this exhibi-tion will have the Art Room Gallery awash in vibrant hues from May 18 to Jun. 23.

As co-founder of the Hope Artists Guild, Art Gallery, and Arts Council as well as the Artists At Work paint-ing group, Blythe is dedicated to encour-aging novice artists to pursue their creative endeavours.

Although this ac-tive promoter of the arts has always had an

interest in drawing, it was at an oil paint-ing workshop where Blythe discovered her aptitude for creating masterpieces with a paintbrush. Her new found passion led Blythe to explore a plethora of painting styles before choosing acrylic as her medium of choice.

Enhancing Blythe’s diverse style and sub-ject matter, her paint-ings feature bold co-lours and energetic lines with a touch of whimsy.

A passionate mem-ber of Artists at Work as well as the Agas-siz Monday Paint-ers, Coughlin is a multi-talented artist, lending her hand to ceramics, beaded jew-ellery and currently watercolour paintings. As an Arizona-bound “snowbird,” Coughlin

spends ample time en-joying painting in the sunlight, surrounded by interesting people, scenery, and flora to provide inspiration. Illustrating this in-fluence, Coughlin’s paintings are drenched in colour and depict natural and cultural themes.

The Chilliwack Community Arts Council invites one and all to discover a new hue with its up-coming gallery exhibi-tion, Black and White with a Splash of Co-lour. An artist meet and greet will be held on Friday, May 20 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Chilliwack Communi-ty Arts Council – the Art Room (20 – 5725 Vedder Rd.) Guests will have a chance to speak with the artists and learn more about each piece. Black and

White with a Splash of Colour runs until June 23. The Art Room Gal-lery is open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more details about the exhibition please call 604-769-2787 or visit chilli-wackartscouncil.com.

About the Chilli-wack Community Arts Council

Founded in 1960, the Chilliwack Com-munity Arts Council is a registered chari-table organization and home to artists, crafters, and arts and cultural enthusiasts. We strive to provide quality events, classes, workshops, and ac-tivities that allow our community to engage in the arts as well as offer support for in-dividuals, groups, and organizations within the arts community.

CommunityHope golfers swing into savings

There's a great new way to support lung health and clean air initiatives throughout B.C., as well as save money at the local golf course.

Th e BC Lung Asso-ciation’s Golf Privilege Club® Membership Book is back this year, and off ers money-sav-ing deals at golf courses throughout B.C. and Washington State.

“For less than it would cost for one round of golf, our Golf Book gives you great deals and saving op-portunities while sup-porting a worthy cause right here in B.C.,” said BC Lung Association Volunteer Director for Hope, Tom DeSorcy.

Golfers benefi t from huge golf savings, and all proceeds from book sales go towards help-ing the 1 in 5 British Columbians living with lung disease breathe easier. “It’s a win-win,” said Sydney Jung, a fundraising team member for the BC Lung Association.

For more informa-tion on the courses and discounts or to pur-

chase a book, please visit golfandsave.ca or call 1-800-665-LUNG (5864).

Anyone who's gradu-ated from college or university understands the relief of leaving be-hind years of cramming for exams and living on dorm food. With the next chapter of their lives about to begin, this year's grads deserve kudos for successfully negotiating the twists and turns of higher education. Now

the fun begins.Take it from someone

who's learned a few les-sons the hard way – there are steps you should take now to ensure you start off on sound fi nancial footing. A few tips:

Step 1: Budgeting 101. Aft er living on a shoe-string budget throughout university, people may be tempted to go to the

other extreme aft er land-ing their fi rst full-time job, buying all the things they've done without. Be-fore going on a spending spree, fi rst think about out (A) how much you earn and (B) how much it costs to live. If (B) is larg-er than (A,) not only will you not get ahead, you may soon fi nd yourself reeling from debt.

Step 2: Figure out what you owe. You can't fi x what you don't know is broken. Roughly two-thirds of young adults begin their post-gradu-ation job search saddled with student loan debt. According to the 2015 Graduating Survey by the Canadian University Survey Consortium, the average student gradu-

ates with around $27,000 in debt, but it may be much higher. When you factor in living expenses, car payments or tran-sit and other monthly obligations, it's easy to see why some grads feel overwhelmed.

Make the decision to pay off your debt. We all say that we really want to be debt-free, but our ac-

tions don't always follow our words Th e Canada Student Loan Program says that most students take about 10 years to pay off their federal debt. Set a goal that's realistic and achievable so you can stay on track as you con-tinue to make fi nancial decisions. Although most government student loan programs off er a repay-

ment grace period, many private loans don't. Ask your lender whether they'll reduce your loan's interest rate if you agree to automatic monthly payments or aft er mak-ing a certain number of on-time payments. If you anticipate repay-ment diffi culties, contact your lender immediately to discuss your options. You may be able to work out an agreement to de-fer payments, extend the loan's term or refi nance at a lower rate.

Step 3: Know the score, credit-wise. Many people don't re-alize the important role their credit score plays in their fi nancial future until aft er they've seri-ously damaged it by making late payments, bouncing checks, opening too many ac-counts or exceeding their credit limits.

Th is can haunt you later, not only when you try to borrow money for a house or car, but also when you try to rent an apartment or apply for a job, since many land-lords and employers check credit records and may reject applicants with poor credit. Find out where you stand by ordering credit reports from one of the major credit bureaus – Equi-fax (www.equifax.ca) or TransUnion (www.tran-sunion.ca).You can order one free credit report per year from each bureau.

Step 4: Finding the perfect job: It's time to roll up your sleeves and put that lifetime of edu-cation to work for you. Finding the right job isn't easy- it takes motivation to go aft er the industry or company you want, eff ort to ace the application and interview process and a bit of luck to land the job.

Th e School Career Centre: Th ere's a variety of resources out there to ensure a successful search. Reach out to your school career centre, and be on the lookout for re-cruiters who oft en come to schools or universities looking for future pros-pects. Many campuses hold job fairs and career events year round.

Th e Internet: Online job hunting is fairly con-venient. Job sites such as LinkedIn, Indeed, Career Builder and Localwork allow you to apply for jobs and/or post your resume for potential employers to come fi nd you. Many employers look to social media when deciding on the perfect candidate, so it's to keep a solid profi le.

BusinessThe new normal

Dr. David E BondSpecial to The Standard

Community Futures has achieved a major milestone, celebrating 30 years of service to entrepreneurs and com-munities across B.C. As part of their 30 year celebration, they are publishing Th e Future of Entrepreneurship Se-ries. Written by business leaders, this series of forward thinking arti-cles will provide insights and opinions in regards to a number of key chal-lenges and opportunities facing entrepreneurs in the future.

Th e world’s economy has undergone a funda-mental change and it’s going to take time for governments, house-holds and nations to ad-just to this new normal. To successfully survive these forces of change will require leadership in both the private and public sectors as well as a clear understanding of the situation we face.

What is this situa-tion, exactly? It seems highly likely that Can-ada and most of the developed world will face slow (less than 2 per cent) annual rates of economic growth for at least fi ve years. Slow growth marks a change from what most Canadians have expe-rienced in the past few decades and adjusting to that “new normal” will place strains on the nation’s social, political and economic fabric. But in previous periods of immense national stress we have risen to the challenge and there is no reason believe we will not do so again

Robert Gordon, a respected American economist at North-western University says in his newly published book, “Th e Rise and Fall of American Growth” that this global slow-down is nothing new. While he believes the revolution in high tech and communications has been important, it pales in comparison to the great advances made between 1870 and 1940. Th ese in-cluded harnessing elec-tricity, improved urban sanitation, modern chemicals and pharma-ceuticals, the internal combustion engine and basic communication such as radio and the telephone. Without in-novation of that mag-nitude, he and many other economists be-

lieve economic growth will be very low for the foreseeable future.

A quick review of the global economies con-fi rms this pessimistic view. Europe is in a sor-ry state. Growth there is negligible, government debt is massive, tax rev-enues are low and the monetary system is on life support. Japan has been limping for more than three decades and seems unwilling or unable to make the changes necessary to return to growth. Chi-na, the economic en-gine that drove the last major surge of growth, is slowing as it tries to transition its economy to be more centred on domestic consumption rather than exports. At the same time, China is trying to lessen cor-ruption and maintain a one party system. Fur-ther compounding its problems is a massive amount of bad debt (es-timated to equal 50 per cent of its GDP) which overhangs the market. Until that debt is dealt with and corporate balance sheets show a better match of assets and liabilities, little ad-ditional investment will take place.

Finally, the force that drove growth in the fi ve decades aft er World War II, increasing world trade, is slowing. Th e growth in the last decade has been about half of what it was be-tween 1987 and 2007. Eff orts to expand free trade have been fi tful. Th e recently negotiated Trans Pacifi c Partner-ship is facing strong headwinds in the Unit-ed States and may not be ratifi ed. And the World Trade Organi-zation’s latest round of negotiations was of-fi cially abandoned last year. Without growing trade there really is nothing pushing global

growth.A rapidly growing

economy permits the state to fund growing demands for services such as health care without having to im-plement policies aimed at increasing effi ciency. Growth also can pro-vide room for tax re-ductions.

Under the new nor-mal, sectors such as health care, accus-tomed to having its fi -nancial demands met, will fi nd it diffi cult to adjust to opposition to increased spending unless there is a simul-taneous increase in the effi ciency of the entire system. We can look forward to protracted labour disputes in ev-ery public sector activ-ity from education to fi re protection and po-licing and this will put a strain on communities.

Just as importantly, slow growth, particu-larly in government revenues, means some government expendi-tures can only be in-creased if others shrink - unless, of course, tax-es increase.

This mathematical certainty will force a rethink of what gov-ernments should and should not do and probably lead to tax increases, particular-ly on higher income earners and on certain types of income such as capital gains and large inheritances.

In BC’s private sec-tor, the loss of business on the part of suppliers to the resource sector will make for a turbu-lent and disquieting economic scene char-acterized by rising un-employment. Labour markets will undergo signifi cant restructur-ing. Skilled workers, who moved to Alberta because of high paying jobs and who are now laid off , will begin mov-

ing back to where they originally lived and that will put downward pressure on wages in BC. Moreover, poten-tial employers of these displaced workers will be concerned that, if things turn around in the petroleum sector, their employees will once again move back to Alberta. At the same time, these peripa-tetic workers will not be consuming much since their income will undoubtedly fall well short of previous levels in the petroleum sector while personal debt has not decreased nearly as much.

Th e recent run-up of housing prices is not sustainable. Th e prices of existing housing will stop rising and in some centres (Vancou-ver, Calgary, Toronto and others) fall sharply, along with the income of realtors and the tax take associated with any purchase. We can also expect a decline in housing construc-tion and, therefore, the demand for every-thing that goes into a new house (appli-ances, heating systems, plumbing and wiring etc.) and this too could lead to increased un-employment.

All of this means an unsettled environ-ment for anybody considering starting or expanding a busi-ness since, in a slow-growth economy, new business ventures will face rising hurdles to entering the market place. For one thing, slow growth means slow (or non-existent) increases in consum-ers’ income. Given his-torically high levels of indebtedness, house-holds will be seeking to reduce their debt and will therefore cut back on consumption.

Not only will mar-

kets for both prod-ucts and services be shrinking or just not growing, obtaining fi-nancing for start-ups will become more and more difficult. That, in turn, implies a rais-ing of the bar as to what projects can and should be supported.

Although the overall picture is not optimis-tic, it does not mean that a well-fi nanced new venture with a solid business plan and a good product or service in a focused market will not suc-ceed. Seasoned and determined new entre-preneurs will still come forward and many will succeed - but it won’t be easy. Th ese successful entrepreneurs will have to have vision, drive and smarts to succeed.

Watch for Dr. Bond’s second article Charac-teristics of Entrepre-neurs I have known.

CommunityObesity in pets on the rise

Erin KnutsonHope Standard

Pet obesity is on the rise and there are many con-tributing factors to the modern day occurrence according to Hope veteri-narian Dr. Laura Madsen of Coquihalla Veterinary Services. Overfeeding and decreased exercise are the biggest contribu-tors to the epidemic.

“Basically, it's calories in versus calories expend-ed — it's very common, as people have a lifestyle where they live indoors, and pets are only going for one or two walks a day,” said Madsen. “Dogs and cats used to live on farms, so they would tra-ditionally exercise all day long and have diff erent tasks (in the case of the dogs) like guarding, or herding that would keep them fi t.”

Certain types of breeds were originally devel-oped to do a specifi c job, but they're increasingly turning into house dogs and getting away from those tasks, all of which contribute to expanding waistlines, mobility is-sues, and yes, even short-ening of life spans.

As for indoor cats — they oft en don't get much exercise at all, un-less the owner takes care to ensure that certain rigs are in place to allow the animal to chase and hunt within the home and in a solitary envi-ronment, when no one else is around.

“We're seeing a high trend in cat diabetes — we would really like to see people building a cat run outside with things for them to climb up on and chase,” said Madsen.

Mobility is everything in preventative medicine

and Madsen suggests getting a second cat, so they can chase each oth-er around the house for some good wholesome exercise.

“It's really hard for the indoor cats, and it seems the trend right now for both cats and dogs is feeding them less than the recommended amount listed on the bag.”

According to Madsen, modern grain free diets are promoting higher protein and a denser product. Animals are then being fed the same amount they would need if they were extremely ac-tive, promoting weight gain and problems like fl atulence and indiges-tion. By decreasing the recommended amount on the bag, the animal is getting the required nu-trition for the energy be-ing expended.

Th ere are major side eff ects to pet obesity including diabetes, ar-thritis, and decreased longevity.

“Instead of having an animal that's mobile, people have an animal that's having trouble moving around, so that animal has to get put down because they can't walk well enough to go to the bathroom because

they're too fat, and they can't pull themselves up,” Madsen told Th e Hope Standard.

It's normal for an ani-mal to have a little arthri-tis, but depending on how much the animal weighs, it will aff ect how that animal can function.

“Sometimes ear drib-bling is related to having a lot of fat around the tissue. Skin conditions are related to not being able to self clean prop-erly because of folds and rolls that get in the way, preventing animals from reaching certain areas.”

Th ere are some inter-esting ways concerned pet owners can get their animal to lose weight, in-cluding using computer programs. A pet's pro-portions can be put into a calculation that fi gures out based on the breed and size, how many calo-ries are needed per day to reach their ideal weight.

Owners can also make sure that food being fed to their pet is fi lling enough, which will prevent hun-ger cries aft er feeding.

A couple of diets for-mulated for weight loss are recommended by Madsen. One is Royal Canin Satiety Support, which helps animals feel full so they don’t

beg as much. Another is Hill’s Prescription Diet Metabolic, which is for-mulated to change gene expression to increase metabolism.

Each of these diets also has the online program mentioned above.

“Ideally we check the pet’s weight once a month to assess their progress and re-calculate their dai-ly food requirement — oft en, if people cut back on their regular food the pet feels hungry, and can be deprived of nutrients.”

Making sure the ani-mal has plenty of wa-ter is also benefi cial to promoting weight loss, because it increases the feeling of fullness, along with watching high ca-loric treats that oft en get sneaked into a pet's diet (like a piece of cheese.)

“Statistics show that a fat dog will typically live a year shorter than a normal dog, and if you count how many years a dog will typically live, it's pretty signifi cant,” said Madsen.

Th e best way to keep pets in a healthy weight category is to weigh them frequently.

“It's hard to tell if they've gained weight when you're seeing them every day — it's also hard to tell when they have long fur, so it's important to keep up with the check ups once a year. People are welcome to come and use the scales whenever they want.”

Prevention is the best strategy to maintain pet health according to Madsen.

“Keeping the situation in check and taking care of problems early will prevent them from esca-lating. It's all about pro-moting a healthy lifestyle

Cpl. Mike RailSpecial to The Standard

On Th ursday May 5, 2016 the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detach-ment’s (UFVRD) offi cer in charge held her annual “Recognizing Excellence” awards ceremony to hon-our exceptional perfor-mances and service to the community.

From offi cers risking personal safety to appre-hending a violent suspect or, performing water rescues, to civilians com-ing to the aid of others in times of distress and the charity of a business owner giving back to the community, the venue was bursting with heroes.

“You should all be very proud of your achieve-ments and for this aft er-noon’s recognitions,” said Superintendent Deanne Burleigh, Offi cer in Charge of the UFVRD. “To your friends, family and co-workers, thank you for your continued support. Without you, these ordinary people could not do the ex-traordinary things they have done”.

Over eighty awards were presented to offi -

cers, support staff , and civilians during the cer-emony for their actions including:

• Offi cers who suc-cessfully prevented a distressed woman from jumping into traffi c on the Trans-Canada High-way from an overpass.

• A civilian who pur-chased gift s for a young family victimized by thieves on Christmas Eve.

• A Chilliwack business which donates proceeds

of their profi ts toward Christmas Breakfast for local families.

• Investigators of the Chilliwack Drug Unit who removed drugs from the streets of Chilliwack and closed down crack houses in the community.

One of the highlights of the ceremony was the presentation to the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment (UFVRD) Crime Reduction Unit Drug Section for their ac-

complishments over the past year.

In 2015 the Chilliwack Drug Unit executed 65 search warrants as part of the team’s investigation of Controlled Drug and Substance Act (CDSA) and Criminal Code of-fences in the Detachment area. In one investiga-tion the team targeted the street level distribu-tion of heroin. Offi cers executed a number of CDSA search warrants

during their investigation as they gathered evidence which led to arrests and 45 charges against alleged drug dealers.

Th rough their dedi-cated work the team was responsible for preventing illegal drugs and fi rearms from reaching the streets of the community as part of the RCMP’s commit-ment to ensuring the safety of the citizens in the Upper Fraser Valley.

Ceremony honours heroes

Officers were honoured in the annual “Recognizing Excellence” awards ceremony last Thursday. RCMP often risk personal safety in the name of the job.

A fi rst off ence for checking your phone while driving will cost B.C. drivers $543 when new penalties take ef-fect June 1.

Th e fi ne for distracted driving goes up from $167 to $368, and driv-ers will also be assessed four penalty points, triggering another $175 charge. Th e combina-tion results in a total penalty of $888 for a second off ence within a year of the fi rst.

Public Safety Minis-ter Mike Morris said the new penalties put B.C. near the top of distract-ed driving fi nes for Ca-nadian provinces. Two tickets in a year will also trigger an automatic re-view by the Superinten-dent of Motor Vehicles that could result in li-cence suspension.

Public consulta-tion over the past year found support for a tougher approach.

"A lot of the input that we had indicated even higher penalties than that," Morris said.

Transportation Min-ister Todd Stone said the public awareness cam-paigns have not con-

vinced enough people of the dangers of trying to use mobile phones or other devices without hands-free services.

"Imagine trying to drive the length of a football fi eld while you're blindfolded," Stone said.

Central Saanich Po-lice Chief Les Sylven,

president of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police, reminded driv-ers that being at a stop light or stuck in a traffi c jam does not mean the distracted driving pen-alties don't apply.

NDP public safety critic Mike Farnworth said the government didn't need to take a year to increase one of the lowest distracted driving penalty systems in the country, and giving the superintendent discre-tion over multiple repeat off enders doesn't send a clear enough message.

"Frankly, I think that if you get more than three in the course of the year, there should be no 'may' about it, you will lose your licence," Farnworth said.

Distracted and inat-tentive driving was a factor in the deaths of 66 people and injuries to 630 in B.C. in 2014.

Public Safety Minister Mike Morris uses a driving simulator to show the effect of texting and driving.

Aussies had their hands full at the Hope golf courseBarry StewartHope Standard

Th e Australian Open took place at the Hope golf course on Monday aft ernoon — and there was no one there to witness it. In fact, the course was wide-open for the fi ve Australian visitors who took one loop around the links before heading home to the State of Victoria on Tuesday.

While the wives were relaxing at the Skagit Motel, three men and two sons enjoyed a round in the sun, with a few hairy marmots popping their heads out of their burrows to check out the action.

Th e group had rented two vehicles and spent three weeks touring the B.C. and Alber-ta Rockies before stopping in Hope for their last night in Canada.

PGA greats, Greg “Th e Shark” Norman and Adam Scott might be from Australia — but Monday’s visitors admitted to being very casual golfers.

“I’m the only one who didn’t lose a ball,” said Ian Rhode, grinning.

With the rising waters of the Fraser caus-ing the seventh-hole water hazard to swell, the Aussies had their hands full. “Hole num-ber seven wasn’t good for us,” said Rhode, the others nodding wistfully in agreement.

It’s not all about the game, though. Th e sun was out, a warm breeze was blowing and Hope’s scenery was polished up to its spring-time fi nest.

“For us to play a round of golf, with a view of snow-capped mountains… it was incred-ible,” said John Wetemans, a farmer in Victo-ria. “Good green fees, too,” added Steve Nim-mo, who fi nished his round with a par on the ninth hole. “Some places we played were over $100 for a round (of 18 holes).”

For a total of just over $100, three adults and two juniors could play a round of nine holes at Hope on a weekday; $140 for 18 holes.

Course operator and clubhouse chef, Kerry

Krahn said Wednesday, “Weekends are ob-viously busier but the weekdays can be ran-dom… some are busy and others are not.”

Great rates, conditions and scenery and an easy trip out of town are drawing golfers from Chilliwack and other parts of the Fraser Val-ley, he added.

Spring run-off oft en brings excess water to the lower end of the course but so far, said Krahn, “Th e Fraser isn’t high enough to cause fl ooding.”

If you’re looking to get back into the game, take up a new sport, or join a new social circle, the club off ers a few options.

“Monday mornings, the ladies play nine holes,” said Krahn. “It’s more for beginners — and lunch is available aft erwards. On Tuesday mornings, they play 18, followed by lunch.

“Th e men had their fi rst offi cial night on Wednesday last week and we had 28 golfers out,” he added. A barbecue social follows the golf, with ‘cards night’ sitting as an option if

there’s a rain-out. Tee off s run between 4:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.

Men’s Night planner, Peter Adamo has laid out a healthy list of challenges for the season, including “horse races,” hidden holes, “Iron Man,” 2-ball and visits from other clubs.

Krahn said the club has no junior club this year — but they continue to off er junior memberships for students aged 18 or younger. For $179, a junior member gets basically un-limited access to the course, said Krahn.

From personal observation over the years, this is a fantastic deal, especially for teens dur-ing the summer holidays.

Th ey can stay gainfully occupied, while learning a life-long sport and linking up with veteran players who help fi ll in the fi ner points of the game.

If you’re worried about not having clubs, just speak up. You’d be amazed how many spares there are out there, waiting to be passed on for free or for a few dollars.

Australian visitor, John Wetemans puts a shadowy blessing on his ball before attempting a long putt on the ninth hole, Monday afternoon. Wetemans and his four Aussie partners had the Hope golf course all to themselves, despite excellent conditions.
