Hope Memorial Park was filled with poodles, huskies, spaniels and shepherds, as over 50 people and their pampered pets got their chance to express their outrage at the cull of 100 Whistler sled dogs after the 2010 Olympics.

The peaceful protest walk, Sunday, Feb. 13, was organized by Cathy Hirst and Jeneane Ruscheinsky and saw the placard-packing group circumnavigate the town of Hope. The group started out from Hope Memorial Park and walked two by two, like the sled dogs do, up to the Old Hope-Princeton Way and back around town to the Wallace street park.

Participants in the walk were encouraged to sign a petition in support MP Mark

Hollands private members Bill C-229, which calls for tougher penalties for those found guilty of animal cruelty. The bill also calls for the closure of a number of loopholes in the criminal code that make it difficult to enforce and prosecute animal cruelty cases.

We have all been horrified over what we have learned over the last two weeks, since this story broke, and it is great to see all of you here, said Hirst. By attending this event we are creating a public image of people who stand up for animals.

We all have the ability to make positive change in our country for the right of dogs and all the animals that share our lives, added Hirst.

Donations to the SPCA were also collected from walk participants and visitors to the park.

Fifty walk for slain sled dogs

A spray-painting vandal with the signature tag of Wheat has been causing hundreds of dollars in damage in downtown Hope for weeks now.

Police search for prolic taggerA spray-painting vandal with

the signature tag of Wheat has been causing hundreds of dollars in damage in downtown Hope for weeks now.

The graffiti artist first began making his mark by spray painting a CN railway mechanical shed at the north end of Wallace Street. He moved onto the brick wall of the lawyers offices, a garbage container at Commission and Sixth Avenue, a wall under the Hope-Fraser Bridge, and the back of numerous buildings

including schools, apartments and churches.

Several businesses over the last five weeks have been the target of graffiti with a signature tag of the word wheat written in various colours of spray paint. In all, over 15 properties have been tagged, said RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck, in a press release.

Police are asking for the public assistance in identifying a suspect that was seen leaving after tagging a building. He is described as Caucasian, 6 tall,

and in his late teens or early twenties. He has short dark hair, glasses, and was wearing a white knit toque with ear tassels and a white ski jacket.

Graffiti is a mischief offence and has the potential to cost business owners hundreds of dollars to repair depending on the extent of the graffiti, added Wolbeck.

If you have any information on the identity of the suspect call the Hope RCMP detachment at 604-869-7750 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477(TIPS).

OUR PHARMACISTS DISPENSE INFORMATION AS WELL AS MEDICATION

There is ample proof that uoride does prevent tooth decay and dental associations around the world recommend uoride toothpastes. Only a small amount is needed. For children under 3, use an amount of toothpaste the size of a grain of rice with an adult doing the brushing. For children 3-6, a pea-sized amount of paste is used with adult assistance.

Further to the comment in a recent column about some parents choos-ing not to immunize their children against disease, there was an outbreak of measles last March through April in B.C. The disease was brought in

by Olympic visitors and affected non-immunized children under ve and adults between 30 and 39 who didnt receive their second measles shot as children. Immunization does work.

People over the age of 55 dont absorb vitamin B-12 as well as when they were young. Although not proven, there seems to be a link between memory loss and low levels of B-12. Ensure you get at least 6 micrograms per day through taking a multivitamin and eating foods rich in B-12 like liver and sardines.

Cancer is a preventable disease.

Some ways to do this are: breastfeed your baby; eat more vegeta-bles & fruit and less red and processed meat; avoid sugary drinks; keep your weight down to normal; exercise regularly; limit salt and alcohol consumption.

Good advice: Before you take it, talk about it. Our pharmacists are always available to talk to you about your medications and healthcare needs.

Construction crews on the new Kawkawa Lake Road Bridge use a backhoe to search for an old water line that supplies the 753 Water System. The private system was reconnected, Tuesday, Feb 15, to a new supply line built along the higher bridge approaches. Construction on the Union Bar approach is expected to start sometime after Friday, Feb 25, when Hydro and Telus crews are expected to have also moved their services into alignment with the new road.

KLR Bridge project a bit behind, but on budget: mayorSimone RolphThe Hope Standard

Kawkawa Lake area residents are experiencing a series of service outages this week as crews on the Kawkawa Lake Road Bridge come into the final construction stages.

On Tuesday, Feb. 15, the 753 Water System was connected up to new supply lines at new bridge, cutting water to homes for up to seven

hours.The moving of the power

poles and lines into proper alignment with the new roadway is expected to cut power to homes in the area, on Saturday.

The bridge project is a little behind schedule and a construction permit extension has been granted due to winter weather conditions and the longer time needed to set the bridge pylons.

With the old bridge still able to handle the traffic flow there has been no reason to push the project ahead unnecessarily, said Mayor Laurie French.

With BC Hydro coming this weekend and Telus crews scheduled right behind them, the mayor expects that work on the Union Bar Road approach will begin shortly after Friday, Feb. 25. While the new bridge approach is

being constructed, traffic will be diverted off the old bridge and across the new bridge, says the Mayor.

According to the mayor, the KLR Bridge project is on budget, with a couple of small overages easily covered by the contingency fund built into the contract.

An official opening ceremony for the bridge is being planned for mid-March.

Canyon residents hit hard by outagesBy Robert FreemanBlack Press

Wire theft is putting residents safety at risk, especially those living with little or no cellphone service in remote areas of the region.

Telephone land lines have been cut by copper wire thieves leaving thousands without service, and even electric highway safety signs have been put out of commission, leaving drivers at risk, police said.

Some residents in the Yale and Boston Bar area were stranded for weeks without telephone service after an ice storm and a landslide delayed repairs to damaged land lines.

We have no cellphone service, which makes it really troublesome when land

lines arent repaired, Lloyd Foreman, Boston Bar area director at the Fraser Valley Regional District, said after last months board meeting.

Foreman and Yale area director Dennis Adamson called on the FVRD board to send a strongly-worded letter to Telus about the service delay.

But Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said repair crews couldnt reach land lines damaged by the ice storm because the landslide closed access roads, and then the metal thieves

hit, taking copper wiring the company had paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to bury underground.

And last Monday, metal thieves hit Telus again, breaking into an armored conduit under the Hope Bridge, shutting down about 250 voice and Internet customers, as well as a cellphone tower, he said.

All for about 10 feet of copper wire, worth about five bucks to scrap metal dealers.

Hall said Telus is happy to talk with the regional district

about solving the problem, and is actively working with the RCMP to put metal thieves out of business.

Theyre putting our customers at risk, leaving them without 911 service, he said.

The RCMP is asking the public to report any suspicious activity around power poles and other locations with copper wiring.

Most of the thefts have taken place in the daytime, in heavily-populated areas, so police believe there must be witnesses.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750.

Tips can also be called in to Crime Stoppers at 1-888-222-TIPS or made online at www.chilliwackcrimestop-pers.ca.

Area directors Lloyd Foreman Dennis Adamson called on the FVRD board to send a

strongly-worded letter to Telus about the service delay.

Parents asks for the publics help in locating daughter

The family and friends of 23-year-old Nikita Cheryl-Lynn Jack are frantically trying contact her after she disappeared, Thursday, Feb. 10.

Nikita Jack dropped off her three year-old daughter at her cousins home and was

expected to pick the child up in the evening. She never arrived.

Leaving her daughter behind is out of character for the young mother and the family is asking for the publics assistance in trying to locate her.

Nikita Jack is of First Nations descent, 5 5 tall and has two tattoos of initials of NJ on the top of her left hand, and ZK on the top of her right hand.

Her mother, Angie Isaac, of Spuzzum, has been frantically

posting messages to her daughter on Facebook in the hope of contacting her or someone who has seen her.

Nikita Jack may have left Surrey for Kamloops.

Nikita Jack was one of two graduates in the Boston Bar Secondary School Class of 2005.

The family asks anyone with information to please call the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502.

Young mother missing

A few good mentors neededJessica PetersBlack Press

For teenagers, being in trouble with the law can feel like the end of the world.

They may ask, how did I get into this mess?

Maybe they were in the wrong place at the wrong time or got mixed up with the wrong people.

But no matter why theyre in trouble, its Restorative Justices focus to get them back on track. Through a series of meetings, young offenders can often stay out of the traditional court system. They meet with their victims, and other people in the community impacted by their crimes.

Those meetings are made possible by a group of dedicated mentors and facilitators. In Chilliwack, there are about 40 adults who give their time to Restorative Justice. Many of those volunteers end up driving to Agassiz to help the youth in this community says Kim McLandress, executive director of Chilliwack Restorative Justice.

We really want to build up a volunteer

base in Agassiz, she says.

The kids who are eligible to participate in Restorative Justice are generally first time offenders who have admitted their guilt and are prepared to do some work to repay the community for the harm theyve caused.

Just having someone support them can make a difference in a young offenders life, she says.

The typical volunteer facilitator has a few hours a week, or month, to spend with a youth.

Theyll have some sort of life skills, McLandress says, and generally want to give back to the community.

In Agassiz this past year, Restorative Justice handled 23 referrals. In Hope, where theyre also looking for volunteers, the number was 16.

The local RCMP say that most kids who go through the program dont seem to re-offend.

I think it works for most kids, he says.

For those who dont follow through with the program, or who re-offend, the next step is the regular court system.

This is all about

having accountability for what theyve done, McCarthy says. Often the kid was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Facing a victim, and doing some sort of community service, helps put their crime in perspective, he adds.

Volunteers are given thorough training, McLandress says, and sit through a handful of sessions with a trained facilitator before handling cases themselves.

Whether someone volunteers for a year, or a lifetime, those mediation skills are good to have, she adds.

While it can sometimes be emotional, even heated, during mediations between victims and offenders, McLandress says that the program is only available in cases where everyone involved is willing to participate.

Everyone has to agree to be involved, she says. If the offender is not willing to accept responsibility, its not going to work.

There are bonuses for the victims of crime to be involved in Restorative Justice, too.

Kim McLandress, exec. director of Chilliwack Restorative Justice

In a typical court case, a victim will usually never get to ask an offender questions, or explain how theyve been wronged.

And thats an important piece of the puzzle when a victim is trying to forgive and move on, McLandress says.

This way they can communicate back and forth, she says. They can address the person directly. They can get an apology, and answers. They can get some closure.

For more information on volunteering as a mentor/facilitator, visit www.restoringjustice.ca or email McLandress at [email protected].

Rural voters maintain advantageVICTORIA There arent too

many benefits to living in B.C.s vast hinterlands, compared to the southwest where three quarters of B.C. residents reside.

A few advantages of rural life spring to mind: its quieter, traffic jams are fewer and shorter, and real estate prices are more reasonable.

Another advantage is little noticed, but significant just the same. Rural voters have more clout than their urban c o u n t e r p a r t s . There can be as many as three times the number of voters in a Metro Vancouver constituency as in one of the remote northern seats, but each gets one MLA.

That advantage was reinforced during the 2008 electoral boundary redistribution, when the B.C. Liberal government decided not to eliminate rural seats a move recommended by an independent commission to equalize representation in the B.C. legislature. Instead, both the B.C. Liberals and the NDP supported adding six extra seats, in the Fraser Valley, Lower Mainland, Okanagan and Southern Vancouver Island. That narrowed the gap, but the other regions remain over-represented in Victoria.

The B.C. Liberal Party has now moved to match this rural clout

in its own leadership vote, set for Feb. 26. At a weekend convention, party delegates voted almost unanimously to get rid of the one member-one vote system that put Vancouverite Gordon Campbell into the leadership 17 years ago.

The new weighted voting system ensures that constituencies with small memberships have the same influence in the leadership contest as those who have signed up thousands of new members in urban areas. A rural members vote might be up to 10 times as powerful as one in Surrey, where many new members have been signed up.

As one delegate pointed out, this isnt strictly a rural-urban thing. In NDP strongholds such as East Vancouver or Nanaimo, there are large populations but only a hardy little band of B.C. Liberal stalwarts maintaining membership in a constituency the party has little chance of winning.

There wasnt much grumbling about this decision. Most B.C. Liberals agreed with the candidates that sticking with a one member-one vote system would mean only urban candidates have a chance of leading the party.

Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett was one of those advocating the change to weighted voting, before his noisy expulsion from the B.C. Liberal cabinet and caucus last fall. Still a faithful party member, Bennett urged delegates to adopt the new system, partly because it gives the party a huge advantage

over the NDP.The NDP is selecting its next leader

in April, using the one member-one vote system for the first time. NDP leadership candidates have also signed up thousands of new members, most of them from urban constituencies.

The NDP now risks becoming the party of the urban poor, and thats not a recipe for success.

Some rural voters will remember that Glen Clark made his first visit to Prince George only after he became premier. He spoke about how pleased he was to finally visit the north, apparently unaware that he had only reached the middle of the province, with the north still to come.

Carole James worked hard for seven years as leader to make the NDP reach out beyond its traditional power base. She was rewarded in 2005 with seats regained in the North Coast, Kootenays and Cariboo as well as traditional areas of strength.

It wont be easy for an urban-dominated NDP to retain these far-flung constituencies, much less add to their current seats and form a majority government.

The B.C. Liberals have gone a long way to holding their rural-urban coalition together.

According to Earthquakes Canada, in the last month, between Dec. 29 and Jan.28, southwest British Columbia had 79 earthquakes. Six of those occurred within regions measured from Langley, Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

OK, so you didnt feel any of them. Most of those little tremours were less than a magnitude of 3.0. But while they may be out of sight and out of mind, the constant jiggling of B.C.s natural ground forces is good reason to get ready for when the shiver becomes a serious grinder. And that fact was the whole point of the Shake Out practice last week.

British Columbia clearly leads the way in having the most and the biggest earthquakes in the nation. According to Natural Resources Canada, about 5,000 earthquakes are recorded in Canada each year and of the top 10 earthquakes nationally, six have happened in this province.

The mother of them all was a magnitude 9.0 quake on

Jan. 26, 1700 in the Cascadia subduction zone.

According to research, 13 great earthquakes have occurred in the region in the last 6,000 years, about one in every 400 or so years. Statistically, we are over 300 years into the potential for the next great quake. In the last 130 years, we have had four magnitude 7+ earthquakes between southwestern B.C. and northern Washington.

To be self-sufficient and ready to go it alone for at least 72 hours after the earthquake hits means having a plan for everyone in the family, a grab-ready emergency kit at home, at work and in the car, a back-up plan and an out-of-town (or out of province) contact number of a relative or friend who everyone can relay messages to in the event communications are down.

Most people, though, are far from earthquake ready in a province where a major earthquake could strike 50 years from now. Or tomorrow.

Culture explored through foodEditor: The StandardThe Fraser Cascade

area is celebrating the diversity that exists in our rural communities through art and food!

The Food Event will celebrate food - its range and its culture this Saturday, Feb. 19.

The theme of the event is to celebrate food as an art form while celebrating the diversity of cultures it presents. Food can say a lot about a persons background and culture how it was prepared and the

ingredients alone can indicate whether or not it was a staple of their diet, or created only for special occasions.

The event is designed as a tasting event. The idea is to get people mingling over food. They will walk to one table, try a bit and ask them about it. It is remarkable how much a dish from your past can tell about you, as a person, and about your culture.

The Food Event will be held at the SOCIA building in Hope (895

3rd Ave) and will run from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. It is open to anyone in the public, as well as businesses, to celebrate food and culture. You dont have to prepare a dish to participate you can just show up. If you can pre-register and let me know what you plan to bring, that would be a bonus.

The recipes, and the stories behind them, will be published in a recipe book or compilation that will be made available to

the public. The food you prepare can be anything something that means something to you, or was a favourite family dish that your grandmother made. Really, it can be anything.

The Food Event is the second of a series of three events that celebrate Rural Diversity through art and food. The series of events is organized by Trails Crossing Friendship Centre and funded through the BC Spirit Festival. The

art forum is the first of these events. Our goal is to encourage artists, businesses, groups and people to come out and network with one another, to show their art form, and to mingle with the community.

For more information, or to register, call me at 604 869 2279 or email [email protected].

Middle class cannot sustain BC Liberal tax policyEditor: Black PressThe rhetoric is

abundant these days about how to achieve economic growth and prosperity in the best place on Earth.

There are two schools of thought in B.C. when it comes to fair tax policy.

The Liberals are of the firm belief that the lower the corporate tax rate the better off we will be and the New Democrats want a more balanced approach.

Here are some numbers out of the

governments own public accounts:

In 2001 when the Liberals came to power, corporate taxes, including royalties of various kinds, totalled about 22 per cent of government revenues.

Liberal tax policy has dropped that down to 10 per cent today.

In real dollars thats about $1 billion less per year. Thats a drop of about 20 per cent. By comparison, we lowly taxpayers are now forking out about $8 billion. An increase

of about 60 per cent since 2001.

The HST is another $1.9 billion whack in the pants.

All these various shifts in the tax burden will have an effect on our property tax bills as the province looks at downloading opportunities to make up for ever shrinking revenues. Right now the year-over-year increases average about 1.7 per cent. The fly in the ointment now is the B.C. Chamber of Commerce proposal

that a review of municipal business taxes take place.

This could mean a transfer or shift of up to 24 per cent onto residential property taxpayers.

What benefit could there be in supporting a drop in the disposable income of their customers? Maybe Walt Cobb can answer that one for us.

Perhaps the Liberals can also explain why B.C. is now the leader in job losses in the country.

Why is the minimum wage the same its been for the last 10 years? Why are real wages decreasing?

The middle-class taxpayers who pay the bulk of the provincial income tax cannot sustain government entirely on their own.

We must develop a fair and equitable taxation system that benefits all British Columbians and not just a select few.

Museum manager Inge Wilson rekindles the excitement of the 2010 at the Hope library, Saturday, Feb. 12.

Sharing the stories 2010By Inge WilsonSpecial Contributor

To mark the one year anniversary of the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Games, the Hope Museum presented a display of 2010 Winter Olympic & Paralympic Games memorabilia at the Hope Library, including items from the historic Torch Relay events that took place in Hope on February 7th and March 9th, 2010.

The display included free 2010 Games stickers, placemats, pins and colouring sheets to take home and a free prize draw for 2010 Games souvenirs.

The museum staff also invited everyone to share their memories and stories by reliving the excitement of the 2010 Games ...whether they were experienced here in Hope or at the games venues of Vancouver and Whistler.

Here are some of the stories that were shared...

From a Sunshine Valley resident who connected with Olympic athletes training at Manning Park Resort: It was a great time to host the Karakhstan (Russian) mogul ski team. What great young people. Though they never won, you would not know it for they loved Canada

From a young mother: A lot of us had a great time at The Blue Moose watching the Womens Hockey and Mens Final Hockey Game

From a participant in the Feb 7th Olympic Torch Relay Celebration in Hope: It was such a great experience to be part of such a large and exuberant crowd of Hope neighbours and visitors. Go Canada Go!!!

From a staff member of the Hope Visitor Centre: Throughout February 2010 I met German TV staff and other international media representatives plus many RCMP and Canadian military members at the Hope

Visitor Centre that had been flown in from Eastern Canada to supplement the 2010 Games Security forces. All of these individuals were working long shifts with very few free days to pursue personal interests so it was very exciting to learn that they were using their valuable time to journey to Hope. Interestingly, all of them indicated that they chose to come here in order to see where the Rambo film First Blood was made!

From a long time Hope resident: It was so exciting. My husband ...an avid skier and sportsman... made himself gold, silver and

bronze medals from paper and decorated our living room window. He was so happy ...(to) celebrate the Olympic Games in Canada!

If you were unable to attend the event at the Hope Library but still wish to contribute your special memory or story to the records of the Hope Museum please e-mail them to [email protected] or FAX to 604-869-2160 or mail to P.O. Box 26, Hope, BC, V0X 1L0. Any 2010 Games memorabilia you wish to donate will also be gladly accepted by The Hope Museum at 919 Water Avenue. Call 604-869-7322 to arrange for the donation.

The Crew band leader Adriaan Abeling, lead guitarist Greg Bradbury, and Davis Manning on sax, (l-r) are the core of the Crew. See them Saturday at the Station House. SUBMITTED

And the music lives on...By Mike McLoughlinSpecial Contributor

If you havent heard already, Skinnys Grille is closed for good. But theyre not out.

More than any other business in a quarter-century in Hope, they continuously promoted the live music scene both in and out of their establishment. Marlene ran the restaurant while Adriaan Abeling was the heart and soul of the music. The forum is gone, the stage dismantled, but in the authentic spirit of the blues neither of them have given up.

A decade ago a bunch of friends, different musicians with different angles met, and with Abeling applying the glue, created the Skinnys Blues Crew. The chief function of The Crew was to back up the various visiting artists, of which there were literally hundreds.

Abeling was quick to note that Hope could rarely afford a big name band like the Powder Blues. However they could afford to get the heart and soul, Willie MacCaulder, if Skinnys provided the backup band. In other words Abeling made it easy for them to perform in Hope. The formula worked synergistically

for mutual benefit artistically. Who can forget The Madison Blues Band, Harp Dog Brown and others like Tim Williams, Rachel Paige, Jarrod Brothers, Robert Campbell, slide-blue-guitarist Rock Moran, and the Lava Lights? At Skinnys peak the core of far-away bands like Manitoba Hal (from Nova Scotia), Fire Tree (Boundary Bay, Queensland, Australia) would solicit play dates with The Crew. At the other end of the spectrum were the locals performing there every year since 2000.

On how he got started... as a child Abeling had to listen to his parents choice of

Heintje, a Dutch pop-folk singer, whom he could not stand. Then there was the unforgettable street corner pipe-organ music, on wheels no less, and run on a hand crank. He didnt like it then, but its grown on him since. The school band program brought Gershwin, Hammerstein, 60s progressive pop. That led to jazz band as a drummer. In those days as a student Abeling started on a wooden drum with rubber pads. After a year he graduated to real drums.

Some songs you can expect to hear Saturday include Sweet Home Chicago, Wonderful Tonight, Shall be

released, Me and Bobby Magee all done their own way along with some of their originals. Their own way means you cannot stray too far away from the original song though. It must remain familiar. It should retain either the motif or the tag line to center on and then add the fluff to make it your own. That in itself is an art form years in the making.

You will also hear an 1858 piece called She Caught the Katy left me a mule to ride. The katy was the train for ore cars, the mules were used for the side bars.

Abeling relates Blues is the root of all the great music here in North America and under examination a full circle emerges. Charlie Pride, the first African American country artist, was influenced by Hank Williams, a bigger country star, who in turn was influenced by a black gentleman in Mississippi playing the blues. Blues, along with gospel music, is the basis for country, big band, jazz and modern rock and roll.

The Crew plays the Hope Station House this Saturday night. Dinner tickets available at the Station House, or Backstage Pass Emporium.

Development Opportunity

SportsHuman history of Brigades revealed

Hikers along the HBC trail look towards Mount Hatfield above the Upper Sowaqua Valley.

SUBMITTED

Archaeologist Jeff Martyn will be presenting a slide show summarizing his research into the human history of the Hudsons Bay Company (1849) Heritage Trail, at the Blue Moose Coffee House on Thursday, Feb. 24, at 7:00 p.m.

Popularly known as the Brigade Trail, it inspired the building of Fort Hope in 1848, and served as the HBCs transport route over the Cascade Mountains from 1849 to 1860.

Martyn hiked the entire trail distance while completing his archaeological field research during the summer of 2010.

Martyns research explores the trails fur trade history, but also takes a much deeper

look into the trails use by First Nations. The HBC Trail falls within the traditional territories of three First Nations; the St:lo, Nlakapamux, and Upper Similkameen.

The trail and surrounding area attracted aboriginal people for thousands of years, providing them with resources not available in valley bottoms and low-lying areas, says Martyn.

And while the trail was certainly used by First Nations for practical reasons such as food gathering and trade, Martyn observes that the beauty and ruggedness of this area inspires a sense of awe in people today.

Brigade traveler diaries frequently

describe walking the trail as, fearful hard work and suggest that any other route could not be worse than the traverse over Mansons Ridge... While climbing the steep grade along the trail may be tough, the reward of following blazed trees dating to a time before the formation of the Colony of British

Columbia and following the path of hundreds upon hundreds of people is more than enough reward for a bit of sweat!

Kelly Pearce of Hope Mountain Centre will also be on hand to present an overview of the trail work that has been completed over the past two years.
