Hope RCMP ar-rested a 32-year-old man last Th ursday in connection with a break-in at Cooper’s Foods in October.

An undisclosed quantity of cigarettes were stolen from the local grocery store on Oct. 18.

Jason Gurniak was a r r e s t e d last week aft er police discovered e v i d e n c e l i n k i n g him to the b r e a k - i n . He was c h a r g e d with one count of “break and enter and commit indictable off ense.” Gurniak, who police say has ties to Hope, was released from custody on Nov. 29 with several condi-tions.

Police are still looking for another man they believe was waiting in a get-away car.

Anyone with in-formation is asked to contact Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750 or Crimestop-pers at 1-888-222-

TIPS (8477).Hope RCMP also

arrested two men at the Shell gas sta-tion on Old Hope-Princeton Way last Wednesday at about 7:45 p.m. Th e two employees noticed the men “acting suspiciously”outside. When they came inside and made threatening com-ments, one of the

employees sent a text message to her boy-friend ad-vising him she was in t r o u b l e . He in turn contac ted police, who were near-

by and attended the scene.

Johnathan Olson, 34, and Jay Roque, 33, were arrested and charged with possession of a sto-len property, which was a brown 1988 Toyota Camry from Kamloops. Olson was also charged with operating a ve-hicle while disquali-fi ed.

Olson remains in custody, while Roque was released on a promise to ap-pear in court.

Getting a tan before you go

on that winter holiday won’t

protect your skin from the

intense tropical sun. Be sure

to apply a good sunscreen

product regularly. Be sure

it’s a broad-spectrum lotion,

with an SPF of at least 15 and

protecting against both UVA

and UVB sunrays. Also, don’t

be stingy. Use enough each

time.

Treating thyroid disease with

thyroid hormone rst occurred

back in 1891 when an English

doctor treated a patient’s

low thyroid condition with an

extract of sheep thyroid gland.

For the next half 20th century,

pigs’ thyroid glands were the

source. In 1949, the Glaxo

Company created a synthetic

version of the hormone, which

is exactly the same as the

human hormone. It is used

most often today.

Looking for some free

health apps for your smart

phone? Here is a couple;

MyMedRec (available at

knowledgeisthebestmedicine.

org) is a way to keep track

of your medications, blood

pressure and cholesterol

results and immunizations.

Another is >30days (from

Hearth & Stroke Foundation

Canada). Available for

iPhones, these apps help you

reach your goals to improve

your heart health.

After the discovery of

penicillin and sulfonamide in

the 20s and 30s, the next ve

decades were sort of a golden

age of antibiotic discovery.

However, the 90s and 2000s

were a wasteland of any new

antibiotics. With increasing

antibiotic resistance, the slow

progress of antibiotic research

is a concern for doctors.

Police officer shares anti-bullying messageKerrie-Ann SchoenitHope Standard

Tad Milmine returned to Hope last week for the sec-ond time this year to share his message of acceptance, toler-ance and understanding.

Th e RCMP offi cer addressed students at Hope Secondary School in an eff ort to empow-er youth to choose positive, individual change.

“What I always hope for is the fact that aft er the presen-tation, by simply hearing real stories, they recognize things such as their words and ac-tions have very serious con-sequences on others and that ultimately they’re the masters of their own domain,” said Milmine. “Th ey’re the ones that have control to make de-cisions and choices that are ul-timately going to lead to their future. Th ey can be a leader and choose to be positive, and they can watch out for others who are having challenges in school.

Milmine encourages stu-dents to stand up and be the voice for victims of bullying who don’t speak up. He points out that there is help for those struggling in silence, includ-ing through his website www.bullyingendshere.ca, which can be done in anonymity.

Milmine created the website in May 2012 to tell the story of Jamie Hubley, a 15-year-old Ottawa teen who took his own life because he couldn’t take the stress and abuse associated with being bullied because he was a fi gure skater and later for being openly gay. Hub-ley’s story reminded Milmine of his own life and the strug-gles he faced growing up. He made the decision then to do his part to help those being bullied by talking to youth in person and providing support, advice and friendship through his website.

Milmine starts each presen-

tation by introducing himself, sharing his dream of being a police offi cer, and grow-ing up and feeling alone. He openly discusses the challeng-es of growing up in a broken home full of addictions, being confi ned to a basement for many years and being bullied through school.

“I talk about how I felt being a victim at that stage of my life, how I was just going to hold everything in and get through it on my own,” said Milmine. “As I grew older, when I was at school, I was being bullied be-cause I used to be horrifi cally introverted and incredibly shy. By the time I was 16, I recog-

nized that I was depressed and I was also suicidal.”

Milmine goes through all the stages of his life, which includes running away at the age of 17 and having a chance encounter with a police offi cer at 32 who encouraged him to join the force.

He then introduces the sto-ry of Hubley and creates im-ages of what exactly the teen endured during his years of bullying. Milmine also shares how he felt when he heard about the tragedy.

“Jamie was bullied because of the fact he was diff erent. Th en that’s when I break it to students that I too am openly

gay,” he said. “Th en I challenge them. If something inside them has changed negatively for them because I told them that I was gay, it’s not me that changed, it’s them. Even with their own intolerance, they have to take the personal ini-tiative to fi nd out why they have that reaction.”

Milmine does presentations on his days off and on his own dime. What started as a simple initiative to help youth, has gained momentum not only in Canada but abroad. Milmine has presentations slated in Scotland and England next spring.

Highways near Hope have highest crash rates in Lower Mainland

Highways near Hope have highest crash rates in Lower Main-land

The most dangerous highway near the Low-er Mainland in terms of collision frequency is Highway 3 from Hope to Princeton, followed by Lougheed Highway from Mission to Hope.

The Hope-Princeton through Manning Park

has a crash rate of 0.87 collisions per million vehicle kilometres travelled.

That’s nearly twice as high as the crash rate of around 0.45 per million kilometres on Highway 1 from Abbotsford to Hope and on the Sea To Sky Highway from North Vancouver to Whis-tler.

The crash rate for

Highway 7 from Mis-sion to Hope was also higher than the rest of the region at 0.68.

The data was re-leased Friday by the transportation min-istry as part of a new provincial review of rural highway speeds and safety. Several highways on Vancou-ver Island – including the Malahat between Victoria and Nanaimo and routes from Vic-toria to Port Renfrew, Parksville to Tofino, and Duncan to Lake Cowichan – also had crash rates of around .65 or above.

The worst crash rate in B.C. is 2.06 colli-sions per million kilo-metres on the Anahim Lake to Bella Coola highway.

The crash rate on the Coquihalla Highway from Hope to Mer-ritt is 0.56 compared to 0.40 on Highway 1 through the Fraser Canyon from Hope to Cache Creek.

The provincial gov-ernment is conducting a provincewide con-sultation and engage-ment until Jan. 24 to seek input about safety and speed limits on B.C.’s rural highways. Through a series of open houses and on-line engagement, the public can have their say on safety issues

facing drivers on these highways.

Speed limits on lon-ger stretches of rural highways between communities are be-ing reviewed to ensure that appropriate speed limits are in place, en-couraging safe driver behaviour. At the same time, the public will be asked to provide input related to reducing the risk of wildlife-related crashes and improving the safe and efficient movement of slower vehicles.

This review will alsoinclude public consul-tation on the use ofwinter tires in an ef-fort to ensure that tirerequirements addresssafety and reflect cur-rent technology.

Public input willform an important partof the Rural HighwaySafety and Speed Re-view and will be con-sidered in conjunctionwith the technical re-view, which is alreadyunderway. Includedfor consideration inthe technical revieware new technology,highway design andsimilar initiatives inother jurisdictions.

The ministry willalso be seeking inputfrom ICBC, police,the Union of B.C. Mu-nicipalities, as well asother key stakehold-ers. Practical recom-mendations from thisreview and a strategyfor implementationwill be ready in earlyspring 2014.

Residents can getmore information onthe review and sharefeedback online atwww.gov.bc.ca/safety-andspeedreview/

On Dec. 17, from7-8 p.m., Minister ofTransportation andInfrastructure ToddStone will host a Twit-ter town hall to discussspeed limits and otherissues affecting high-way safety. To join theconversation, follow#BCSpeedReview onTwitter.

News

The Sea-To-Sky Highway once ranked as one of the most dan-gerous stretches of road in the Lower Mainland. But after $600 million in improvements there, other routes, including Hope-Princeton and Mission-Hope, now have worse crash rates.

MLA backs booze in grocery storesTom FletcherBlack Press

Th e MLA in charge of the B.C. government’s liquor policy review is recommending alcohol sales within grocery stores, using the “store within a store” model in place in other provinces.

Richmond Steveston MLA John Yap an-nounced three of his recommendations last Th ursday, including the idea that a sepa-rate staff ed area should handle alcohol sales. He also called for no increase to the 731 pri-vate store licences that are active now, and no sales in convenience stores other than those already designated as rural agency stores.

Yap’s full report has more than 70 recom-mendations, but it won’t be released until the new year aft er cabinet has considered it. Liquor in grocery stores was by far the most popular topic during his public con-sultation, which is why only those recommen-dations are being made public now, he said.

NDP liquor and gaming critic Shane Simpson said Yap has promoted the popular idea repeatedly, and Th ursday’s announce-ment appears “cobbled together” to distract at-tention from BC Hydro rate hikes and B.C.’s dis-mal job creation perfor-mance than it is about liquor sales.

“It’s been released with no supporting evidence as to how you do this,” Simpson said. “Who gets these stores? If there’s really a mora-torium on new licences, does this mean that somebody who has a 10,000 square foot pri-vate store today is going to be told you have to give that up to get 1,000 square feet in a Safeway? I don’t think that’s going to happen.”

Th e Alliance of Bev-erage Licensees, repre-senting private liquor stores, questioned Yap’s assertion that the change would create jobs and increase con-

venience.“Th ere are very few

places around the prov-ince you will not fi nd a liquor store already located within 100 me-tres of a grocery store, and having a separate liquor checkout inside a grocery store will not improve convenience,” said Ian Baillie, execu-tive director of the alli-ance.

Th e alliance is run-ning a radio ad cam-paign saying its 10,000 employees’ jobs are at risk, and putting alco-hol in grocery stores increases the chance that young people can obtain booze.

Hope Pharmasave store manager Steve Marshall and cosmetics manager Lisa Alcos (right) handed over 100 wrapped gifts to The Joshua Project coordinator Ellen McDonald on Tuesday. Instead of a staff Christmas gift exchange this year, employees opted to donate money, along with the store, towards gift donations. The gifts will be handed out to people in need at a special holiday event on Dec. 12, from 3-4:30 p.m. The Joshua Project, which provides hot meals and clothing, is run strictly by volunteers and relies on community donations.

Greenhouse gas trial balloon leaks

Last week I described the in-evitable demise of B.C.’s “carbon neutral government” scheme, which continues to take millions from hospitals and schools to fund greenhouse gas reduction projects of questionable value.

It’s like the AirCare program, a pollution solution that sounded great at the time. AirCare soon found itself chasing diminishing environmental returns, made re-dundant by new vehicle technol-ogy and the fi nancial need to save fuel. Public sector carbon off sets will suff er the same fate, growing as a political liability as their eff ec-tiveness declines.

All this is separate from B.C.’s carbon tax and greenhouse gas

reduction program, another en-vironmental trial balloon that is sinking back to Earth.

Former premier Gordon Camp-bell’s climate goals offi cially re-main in place: 33 per cent green-house gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up substantially by 2020.

New liquefi ed natural gas export proposals continue to pop up, the latest ones on former industrial sites near Squamish and Camp-bell River. And with the surge of LNG activity around Kitimat and Prince Rupert already changing the landscape, questions linger about the pollution and green-house gas impacts.

As she left for the government’s largest ever trade mission to Asia, Premier Christy Clark dismissed a study that estimated the impact

of three LNG plants. Th at study, done by Kitimat environment group Skeena Wild, assumed “di-rect drive” technology to chill and compress gas for export. It con-cluded that three plants would burn two and a half times the amount of natural gas currently used in Metro Vancouver.

Clark and Environment Minis-ter Mary Polak relied on the same talking point to reject the study. Th e technology of powering LNG is still being negotiated, as pro-ducers work towards environmen-tal permits, so the total can’t be calculated yet.

BC Hydro is predicting little electricity demand for LNG un-til aft er 2020, which suggests the early development will either be direct drive, the industry standard and simplest method, or build-ing one or more gas-fi red power plants in northwest B.C. Even if gas usage is only equivalent to one

Lower Mainland, it’s plain to see greenhouse gas emissions are go-ing up.

Clark has repeatedly argued that B.C. LNG should get credit for displacing coal in China and elsewhere.

I asked Polak if the international community would accept B.C.’s as-sertion that emissions from our LNG production shouldn’t count.

“We haven’t said we won’t count them,” Polak replied. “What the premier’s talked about and I’ve talked about is that this whole is-sue of how one accounts for green-house gases in a particular region is one that is constantly evolving. Th ere are regularly changes to the international standards for ac-counting for these things and re-porting them. And certainly the ability for one jurisdiction to im-pact positively on the GHG emis-sions of another, we think is ap-propriately considered in how one

accounts for these things.”Clark visited the Jiangsu LNG

import facility in China that couldbe a key export destination.

Globe and Mail China corre-spondent Nathan Vanderklippecovered the premier’s visit. He re-ports that the gas being importedat Jiangsu isn’t replacing coal. It’sbeing used in addition to coal inpeak demand periods.

Clark also visited Japan, anotherkey customer for LNG. Th e wholeworld knows why Japan needs newenergy sources. It needs to replaceproduction from its disaster-taint-ed nuclear facilities.

Will B.C. LNG be part of the so-lution to human-induced climatechange? On the evidence so far,the answer is no.

OpinionPublished at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

Public opinion shifting on pipeline projects

An opinion poll published recently reveals that public at-titudes are shift ing on the Northern Gateway pipeline proj-ect.

While the controversial oil pipeline does not have the support of a majority of British Columbians, support has climbed from 35 to 42 per cent. Perhaps more importantly, those opposed are no longer a majority – they number 47 per cent of those polled, a drop of 14 per cent from a similar poll in February. Th e balance of people polled are unde-cided.

Th e sharp drop in opposition likely refl ects the shift in opinion that took place in the midst of the provincial elec-tion, when NDP leader Adrian Dix changed course and came out against the Kinder Morgan pipeline twinning project, aft er months of saying he couldn’t take a position because an application hadn’t been fi led.

At least one NDP MLA who lost his seat blamed that one move for the loss, and there is no doubt that many voters were much more wary of the NDP’s economic development plans aft er that remark was made.

Th e increase in support is also due to more intensive ef-forts by Enbridge to portray itself as listening to B.C. resi-dents’ concerns.

Nonetheless, it will indeed be a challenge for the pipeline to be built, given that First Nations groups remain bitterly opposed and can hold the project up for years in court.

What seems far more likely, with this shift in public opin-ion, is that Kinder Morgan will be built, and will face sig-nifi cantly less opposition.

In July, United Way an-nounced $90,000 avail-able for programs that focus on reducing pov-erty, ensuring children 0-6 succeed or reduc-ing homelessness. Th e grants are to develop or increase skills that will reduce reliance on cri-sis services such as food banks or shelters. While it is great news that we have $90,000 available, it’s incredibly bad news that we have over $400,000 in requests. Th is identifi es an incredible unmet need here in the Fraser Valley.

Th e recently announced child poverty rates in excess of 18 per cent is further example of the desperate need of many families. It is very worri-some when many chil-dren are going to school without adequate nutri-tion or parents are work-ing longer hours to try to make ends meet. While parents work harder and longer, they aren’t able to spend enough quality time with their children.

I hope the United Way’s current fundraising cam-

paign achieves or exceeds the goal of $800,000 so there is more funding available for community-

based projects.Wayne Green,

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Do you support a balanced school calendar, which reduces summer break and adds

those days throughout the school year?

Here’s how you responded:

Yes 54% No 46%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

It’s obvious Kinder Morgan presi-dent Ian Anderson is a bought man. In his article, “Pipeline equals pros-perity,” he mentions dollar fi gures, 18 times, anywhere from $7 million all the way to $11.3 billion. How many billions of dollars is Kinder Morgan willing to part with due to a major catastrophic oil spill? Nothing, it’s not their responsibility, just get it there and it’s someone else’s problem.

Everything Mr. Anderson refers to is money. Not once is there any men-tion of environmental sustainability, because there isn’t any. It’s a dirty oil pipeline with a limited use and it’s un-necessary and is an everlasting toxic nightmare, not to mention risking

the last pristine ecosystems on the west coast of the Americas. Th e Gulf of Mexico spill cost $20 billion, and it will never be totally cleaned up.

Th en he talks about recruiting lo-cal and First Nations for the con-struction phase, even though he knows the First Nations are against oil pipelines. So to try and ply them from their leaders is just another slap in the face.

So what are oil pipelines really worth? Do we all want fat bank ac-counts and an easy street, but live in a contaminated garbage dump, by poi-son soil, destroyed aquatic life, and the extinction of common sense? Or, do we choose the high road, develop

energy sources that are cleaner, more effi cient, and environmentally safer? Our own energy, not someone else’s toxic goo, for minimal economic benefi t, and maximum environmen-tal risk.

It’s time to put the expansion of oil pipelines to bed. I can understand that Mr. Anderson earns a good salary and protecting that is much more important to him than any oil spill. But, if we don’t stop expand-ing on delivering oil, then we are go-ing to run out before we convert to alternate sources. Th e oil is not go-ing to last forever. We need to con-vert and conserve our oil stocks for future generations, not to mention

the energy produced from Asian im-ported oil supports manufacturing done by child and slave labor forces for cheap and unnecessary consumer goods.

Of course there’s economic ben-efi t from building a pipeline. Th ere’s economic benefi t in any major in-frastructure construction. But let’s not waste our money helping to de-velop someone else’s product, when we could be developing our own en-ergy sources. It’s time to develop our newfound natural gas reserves, our energy, our money, cleaner, safer, and more abundant. Let’s build gas lines not oil lines.

A group of “old-timers” in Hope feel we should honour former councillor and mayor Bud Gardner by naming a popular area for his persistence with government projects that were funded for Hope during his 25 years as mayor preceded with years as councillor in Hope.

He was directed to cut down a huge tree near town hall and hired Pete Ryan to carve the bottom, thus the beginning of our chainsaw carvings throughout Hope.

Brigade Days was started by Coun. Ken James. Bud negotiated with Hol-lywood to fi lm movies here – Shoot to Kill starring Sidney Portier then Ram-bo: First Blood with Sylvester Stallone.

Th e existing senior citizens building was moved and is used extensively to date.

Bud was also involved in negotiat-ing with the provincial government to acquire First Beach area at Coquihalla Lake for one dollar and the new Fraser Bridge was encouraged and built.

In addition, he negotiated for the very last small town grant with MLA Harry Lali for the swimming pool-library complex, and was infl uential with the hockey arena and curling rink.

It has been suggested the downtown park be named Gardner Park. Th is tribute would be history for Hope.

Re: Marijuana for Medical Purpos-es Regulation and Land Use Planning, District News (Nov. 21)

At the Aug. 21 in-camera meeting of council, a resolution was passed to change the zoning bylaw regarding a marijuana grow-op. Th is issue was declassifi ed, or in other words, made available to the rest of us at the regular meeting of council.

Why did it take until Nov. 21 for us to fi nd out that the structure at 61614 Yale Rd. was a grow-op? On Nov. 2 it was already in place and we were not informed that this information was available until Nov. 21, on the back page of Th e Hope Standard un-der “Council Briefs.” I did not see it.

It should have been on the front page - not hidden on the back page.

It is my belief that my property will be adversely aff ected by this opera-tion and that I have not been aff orded a democratic opportunity to be heard. I wonder if any of the people on coun-cil have ever experienced the stench created when a grow-op ventilates?

We still do not know who the prin-cipals involved are, or any other de-tails.

It would be nice to know the level, if any, of federal or provincial govern-ment attention that is paid to legal grow-ops to make sure that they ad-here to the law.

B.C. budget barely in the blackTom FletcherBlack Press

With half of the fi s-cal year in the books, the B.C. government is clinging to a small sur-plus that was promised in this spring’s elec-tion.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong pre-sented the province’s second quarter budget update last week, pro-jecting that the fi scal year will end in March with a surplus of $165

million. Th at’s up $29 million from the Sep-tember budget update. Corporate tax revenue is higher than expect-ed, making up for per-sonal tax revenue that was $284 million less than forecast.

Part of the decline in personal income tax is due to employment, which de Jong said was disappointingly “fl at lined” so far in 2013. He said unemployment has “dropped modest-ly” and full-time em-ployment has grown, but the province has work to do to meet its jobs plan goal.

NDP fi nance critic Mike Farnworth said the heavily advertised jobs plan is a fl op, and the unemployment rate is down largely because

12,500 people have left B.C. to seek work since the plan was launched two years ago.

“Just look at the job numbers,” Farnworth said. “By their own admission, they’re pa-thetic.”

Another revenue loss

for the B.C. treasury is provincial sales tax rev-enue, which is running $100 million below the budget forecast for the year. De Jong said one factor in that is that not all businesses have reg-istered to collect and remit the PST since the

province cancelled theharmonized sales taxlast March.

More than 102,000businesses have appliedto register for the PST,and the fi nance min-istry is continuing toassist businesses withseminars and one-on-one consultations onswitching over.

De Jong said fi nanceministry staff havegiven businesses timeto adjust and comply,but the grace period isending.

“As we move into2014, we’re going toexpect people to fulfi ltheir obligations andremit PST that they areobliged to, and offi cialswill be pursuing thatwith the diligence thatyou would expect,” deJong said.

News

Finance Minister Mike de Jong shows changes in budget update, helped by higher than expected revenues from ICBC and other commercial Crown corporations.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

A new poll has found more B.C. residents support a return to photo radar than endorse higher speed limits on the prov-ince’s highways.

Th e Insights West poll con-ducted for Black Press found 37 per cent back higher highway speed limits, while 55 per cent said they should be kept the same and fi ve per cent would lower them.

Meanwhile, 39 per cent sup-port bringing back photo radar to help curb speeding, while 53 per cent were opposed.

Th e camera-equipped road-side vans automatically detected speeders and issued tickets by mail in the 1990s and were elim-inated in 2001 by the incoming BC Liberal government.

Th e fi ndings split sharply on gender lines, with women and older drivers much more likely to oppose higher speed limits and support photo radar speed enforcement.

Just 25 per cent of women said highway speed limits should be raised (65 per cent said they should stay the same), while 50 per cent of men were in favour of higher limits.

Among respondents aged 55 and up, 31 per cent supported higher limits, while twice as many – 62 per cent – said they shouldn’t change.

A third of men supported bringing back photo radar, while that jumped to 43 per cent among women and 48 per cent among those 55 and over – more than the 46 per cent in that age group who oppose its return.

Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said the sup-port for photo radar may be less about bringing back what many considered an unfair cash grab and more a refl ection of frustra-tion that other drivers break the

law without being punished.He said the results on speed

limit reform show signifi cant support for change, but added the gender gap was a surprise.

“Half of men driving out there say we’re just going too slow, we should be going a little bit faster. But they’re only supported by one in four women.”

Canseco said it appears those in favour of higher speed lim-its have so far been “a little bit louder” in rallying support than those worried about change.

But he suggested a measured, careful approach by the govern-ment to lift limits on selected routes may win yet majority sup-port.

Transportation Minister Todd Stone kicked off a public review of B.C. rural highway speed limits last Friday with a series of eight regional public forums running to Jan. 24.

For details of the Rural High-way Safety and Speed Review or to register your comment, see http://engage.gov.bc.ca/safety-andspeedreview.

Stone has indicated the gov-ernment may be prepared toraise speed limits on some ruralhighways, which are now mostlyposted at 100 kilometres perhour, except for the 110 limit onthe Coquihalla and parts of theOkanagan Connector.

Stone said research has shownthe biggest danger are vehiclesthat are driving much faster orslower than the prevailing speedon the route.

“It’s not speed in and of itselfwhich kills. It’s variations inspeed,” he said.

Improved roads and vehiclesafety are among the reasons hecites for potentially higher lim-its.

Th e review is also examiningissues like the dangers of wildlifecollisions, snow tire regulationsand slower moving vehicles thatdon’t keep pace with traffi c orclog passing lanes.

Th e government has repeat-edly said it has no plans to rein-troduce photo radar and Stonesaid the review won’t considerenforcement changes.

Bridge toll discount stays until new year

News

Jeff NagelBlack Press

The half-price tolls to cross the Port Mann Bridge will remain in effect until Jan. 1, when the year-long discount ends and motor-ists who now pay $1.50 will be charged the full $3.

Officials previously ex-pected to open all the new Highway 1 lanes through Coquitlam and Burnaby in early to mid-December and said the discount would be eliminated at that time.

Now they say all the new lanes will be open before Christmas but the toll dis-count will be kept in place

for the rest of the month.About 20 per cent of

regular vehicles using the bridge already pay the full $3 toll, while 80 per cent qualified for the 50 per cent discount by signing up with the TReO electronic tolling system within three months of the bridge open-ing last December.

Final work on the project will continue next year.

The bridge won’t open the final two of its 10 lanes until next summer, when the old Port Mann Bridge will be fully dismantled and the outer lanes can be connected to the bridge ap-proaches.

B.C. government agencies shouldn’t wait for an urgent threat to health and safety before informing the public about conditions that aff ect them, Information and Pri-vacy Commissioner Eliza-beth Denham says.

Denham issued a report Monday reviewing fi ve cas-es where government dis-closure was questioned. In only one of those cases, the 2010 collapse of a private ir-rigation dam in the Oliver area, did she fi nd the prov-ince didn’t meet its obliga-tion to warn the public.

While government agen-cies met their obligation in the other cases, Denham noted that in since B.C.’s freedom of information law came into eff ect in 1993, the only proactive warnings is-

sued to the public have been from police regarding the release of dangerous off end-ers.

“Over 20 years, we have never seen any reports around public infrastruc-ture, animal health, about water quality,” Denham said, noting Ontario pro-vides such reports to the public.

Th e other cases reviewed by Denham involved a 2008 study of formaldehyde in the air in Prince George, a 2010 study of Lyme disease cases, well water tests by the Cowichan Valley Regional District at Cobble Hill, and mould contamination in a student residence at Simon Fraser University.

Denham’s report is avail-able at www.oipc.bc.ca.

More safety disclosure urged

The price most commuters will pay to cross the new Port Mann Bridge will double from $1.50 to $3 on Jan. 1

Royal Canadian Legion

Concert at the Hope LegionLyn Besse McGinnis is

bringing her Next Time Around tour to Hope this Saturday.

Th e singer/songwriter takes to stage at the Hope Legion at 6 p.m., and will perform original mu-sic off her latest album, which features the song Have a Lucky on Me written for her late cousin Larry Besse.

Born and raised in Sas-katoon, SK., Besse Mc-Ginnis got her fi rst guitar at the age 12 for $10 and

a stick of gum. How-ever, her desire to pur-sue music professionally wouldn’t be sparked until years later while attend-ing her fi rst songwriting workshop.

Besse McGinnis went on to record her single song CD Th e Cardinal in the Window in 2007 to raise money for cancer research, followed by her full length debut al-bum All Over the Map in 2009.

Over the years, she

has assisted with facilita-tor duties at the Univer-sity of Saskatchewan US-CAD Songwriting I and II Workshops, and the Emma Lake Kenderdine Campus Songwriters’ Retreat. Besse McGinnis also partnered with Kim Fontaine to off er a one-day songwriting work-shop through Sound Ad-vice as part of 2013 Juno Week in Regina.

Last year, she won an International Lyric Writ-ing Contest advertised

through Songlink Inter-national. She received a small cash prize and

retained writer credit for the collaboration entitled I’ll Hang the Moon.

Winter Harp in concert Backdrops of cathe-

drals and snow will set the stage for an evening with Winter Harp on Dec. 17.

Th e world-class en-semble celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and returns to Chilliwack with a show that takes on the look of a luminous pre-Raphaelite painting. With golden Celtic and classical harps, drums, tambourines, temple bells, fl utes and an as-sortment of dazzling ancient rare instru-ments, Winter Harp’s performance is a magi-cal journey overfl ow-ing with heartwarming carols, songs and stories celebrating the festive season.

“One of the reasons Winter Harp has been a 20-year success is that it gives people Christmas,” said co-founder and di-rector Lori Pappajohn. “Th e familiar carols and the touching stories take people home – home to Christmas, with its rich and cherished memo-ries. What we bring is diff erent from any Christmas show you will ever see. Th e combina-tion of music and story, rhythm and song, the backdrops, the gorgeous fabrics and colours of the medieval attire, the rich and resonant instru-ments and that hard-to-defi ne something special comes together every year, at every concert, to wrap us in pure magic.”

Known for generating standing ovations, sold-out concerts and rave reviews, this ensemble, founded in 1993 by Pap-pajohn and poet/narra-tor Alan Woodland in a small chapel in Vancou-ver, has grown to include up to a dozen cities in its annual December tours throughout western Canada. Over the years, tens of thousands of peo-ple have made attending Winter Harp a part of their holiday tradition. Th e ensemble has 10 CDs to their name and have performed concerts on radio and TV.

For the 2013 anni-versary tour, legendary harpist Kim Robertson will join the ensemble once again. A virtuoso musician, Robertson is among the world’s leading Celtic harpists, credited with bringing about the renaissance of the Celtic harp in North America. Her ground-breaking arrangements and passionate perfor-

mances helped launch the Celtic harp into the modern world. Robert-son’s work encompasses more than 40 record-ing projects and an in-ternational itinerary of

workshops, concerts and retreats.

Th e Winter Harp per-formance on Dec. 17 at Th e Cultural Centre starts at 7:30 p.m. Tick-ets are $35 for adults,

$32 for seniors, and $30 for students. Contact the box offi ce at 604-391-SHOW (7469) for more information or visit www.chilliwackcultural-centre.ca.

Barry StewartHope Standard

The Hope peewee Wildcats started off with an exciting win at their home tournament last weekend.

The opening game at 5 p.m. on Friday, versus Cloverdale, was a seesaw battle, tied at 1-1 after the first period.

The visitors got the lone goal in the second frame, “Then we opened the floodgates,” said head coach Lui Talarico.

Jarren Payant converted a Brady Loring pass to tie it with about nine minutes to go in the game, then Jake Meijer popped in another shortly after.

“As soon as we scored that third goal, Cloverdale really got down on themselves,” said Talari-co, a coach and referee for most of the past 20 years.

The visitors were allowing way too much time and free space in their defensive end and the Wild-cats took full advantage.

James Connor knocked in the next two and Bogdan Kostebelov closed out the scoring, with his second of the match — capping off a five-goal run for the Wild-cats.

Unfortunately, they picked up their fifth penalty in the dy-ing seconds, which negated their sportsmanship point.

“We were in trouble with dumb penalties through the whole tournament,” said the coach. “You’re allowed eight minutes in penalties. After that, you lose your sportsmanship point. We only got the extra point in two of our four games.

Even in a loss, a team that stays out of the penalty box can gain an extra point — and that could be crucial in tie-breakers to de-termine the teams that go on to the finals.

“We usually only get two or three penalties a game,” added Talarico.

James Connor and Blake Visser led the way with two goals each

in a crazy game versus Surrey C6 on Saturday morning. In total, 19 shots got past the goalies.

“We got up 6-2 in the second period, then Surrey came back and won 11-8,” said Talarico, whose son Mike is an assistant coach on the team.

Saturday afternoon, Payant produced two goals and an assist against Semiahmoo C2 but the Wildcats let their 3-2 lead slip away with only five minutes left in the game.

The tie and too many penal-ties meant they had no chance of making the final four match-ups and their last game was a 6-1 loss to the eventual tournament win-

ners, Richmond C2. Tyson Gog-lin scored the lone Hope goal inthe first period.

“The other teams said it was agreat tournament,” said coordi-nator, Joanne Biltzan. “We hadsome returning coaches fromlast year, who said they like com-ing to Hope for our tournamentsbecause we put on a good one.There were lots of complimentsabout the raffle baskets and howgreat they looked.

“Everything ran smoothly. Allplayed hard and had fun,” saidBiltzan.

Next up for Hope and DistrictMinor Hockey is the midget tour-nament on the Jan. 10 weekend.

Wildcats win opening game at home tournamentHope peewee Wildcats goalie Brayden Gelowitz stares helplessly at a puck that got past him in the opening game of the Hope peewee house tournament last weekend. Hope was in the midst of a huge come-from-behind surge and a goal here could have given the Cloverdale opponents a chance to turn the tide. Luckily for Gelowitz, the puck dropped just outside the goal and Hope carried on for a 6-2 win.

Chiefs defense implodes in weekend lossesTh e Chilliwack Chiefs

were ventilated for 21 goals in three weekend losses to BCHL top dogs.

Th e Powell River Kings invaded Prospera Centre Friday night, coming away with an 8-5 win. Th e Chiefs led 3-1 through 20 minutes in this one, out-shooting the Kings 17-9 in the opening frame. Jake Hand, Mathieu Tibbet and Carter Cochrane had the goals, and the home team looked to be in good shape.

But the tables turned in the middle frame. Th e Kings scored three times on 11 shots. Drew Dorantes scored shorthanded at 3:53, with Ryan Scarfo and Jarid Lukosevicius adding even-strength markers. Still, an Austin Plevy snipe at 11:27 had the Chiefs up 4-3 head-ing to period three.

Cochrane and Powell River’s J.J. Coleshaw trad-ed goals early in the fi nal frame, then it was all down-hill for the home team.

Dorantes scored a power play goal at 9:45. Scarfo (at 12:11) and Aidan Wright (at 13:28) tallied to wrap up the scoring.

Chiefs starter Spencer Tremblay lasted 30:29 in net, giving up four goals on 16 shots. Backup Josh Hal-penny logged 29:31, giving up four goals on 18 shots.

Th eir team traveled to

Penticton Saturday night for a date with the Vees. Tremblay went the distance in this one, giving up every goal in a 9-4 loss.

Penticton led 3-1 af-ter one period on goals by

Cody DePourcq, Jake Ahl-gren and Brad McClure, with Cooper Rush replying for the Chiefs.

Th e teams traded two goals each in period two, with Rush and Blake Gober

scoring for Chilliwack and McClure and Riley Alferd lighting the lamp for the Vees.

Kurt Black had the fi -nal Chilliwack goal, with DePourcq, Brett Beauvais,

Jack Ramsay and BrendanLamont scoring third pe-riod goals for Penticton.

Sunday’s road game inLangley was better, but theChiefs still lost 4-2.

Plevy got Chilliwack onthe board fi rst, netting his13th of the year 7:34 intoperiod one. But Langley gotthe next four — from KevinKilistoff , Matt Ustaski, Vik-tor Dombrovskiy and WillCook — to lead 4-1.

Kiefer McNaughtonscored with 36 seconds left to make the fi nal score lookbetter.

Th e free-falling Chiefshave lost four straight. Th eirrecord of 7-19-1-2 givesthem the third worst win-ning percentage (.293) be-hind the Trail Smoke Eaters(7-20-2-1 for .283) and Al-berni Valley Bulldogs (7-20-2-2 for .290).

Th e Chiefs are on theroad this weekend, visitingthe coast for games againstPowell River (Friday), Na-naimo (Saturday) and Al-berni Valley (Sunday).

Aft er running a gauntlet of teams ranked in the top fi ve nationally in recent weeks, the University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball squad has emerged better for the experience.

Th e Cascades registered an im-pressive homecourt sweep of the UBC Th underbirds on the week-end, winning 69-62 on Friday and 71-63 on Saturday to even their re-cord at 5-5 heading into the Christ-mas break.

“We’ve faced some really good teams who have shown us what we weren’t so good at,” Cascades coach Adam Friesen said, allud-ing to recent losses to the Victoria Vikes, Alberta Golden Bears and Saskatchewan Huskies.

“We accepted the lessons and we got to work during the week at practice, and we’re starting to im-prove. It’s great to see.”

On Friday, the Cascades raced out to a 24-10 lead aft er the fi rst quarter and fended off UBC’s sub-

sequent comeback attempts. Satur-day’s game was closer throughout – UFV rallied to take a 52-51 lead at the end of the third quarter, then pulled away down the stretch with Kevon Parchment snaring a series of crucial rebounds and Manny Dulay hitting a pair of clutch three-pointers.

Parchment had an absolutely massive weekend for the Cascades – he stuff ed the stat sheet with 20 points, 12 rebounds and six assists on Friday, and racked up 26 points, 15 boards and four steals on Satur-day.

Cascades women shake offensive slump

Coming off road losses to Alber-ta and Saskatchewan the previous weekend, the UFV women’s squad found its reservoir of off ensive con-fi dence at a low ebb.

It evaporated further on Fri-day, as unranked UBC came into the Envision Athletic Centre and

scored a 56-54 upset win. Th e No. 6-ranked Cascades got off to a hor-rendous start, shooting just 17.9 per cent in the fi rst half and 33.3 per cent for the game.

UFV found its mojo on Saturday, though – they lit up the T-Birds in the fi rst half, knocking down 50 per cent of their shots to seize a 45-17 lead, and they cruised to a 71-43 victory.

“I think we’re a team that’s had our confi dence shaken a little bit at the off ensive end of the fl oor, and I think you were seeing a little bit of that (on Friday),” said Cascades coach Al Tuchscherer, whose team reclaimed fi rst place in the Pacifi c Division at 7-3.

“Some shots weren’t going, and you start really questioning some things. Tonight, we hit some shots early, which was good, and we built on that.”

Sarah Wierks led Saturday’s of-fensive onslaught with 22 points and 13 rebounds, and Nataliia Gavryliuk chipped in with 16 points, six rebounds, fi ve assists and three steals.

Cascades take three of four games
