A 43-year-old Hope man is in cus-tody in connection with a weekend beating death.

Th e victim, 67-year-old Kenneth Ronald Paquette, a local First Nations artist, was oft en seen selling his works in town, usually in front of the Hope Hotel.

Paquette was found last Friday af-ternoon by Hope RCMP when they were called to an assault at the Th un-derbird Motel on Flood Hope Road. He was rushed to hospital but suc-cumbed to his injuries early Saturday morning.

Th e RCMP located a suspect Friday night. Th e Integrated Homicide Inves-tigation Team was brought in Saturday morning to pro-cess the crime scene.

Investigators gathered ev-idence from the motel suite and presented their fi ndings to Crown counsel.

Richard Vallee has now been charged with second degree murder and one charge of breaking and entering to commit an indictable off ence. He was scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.

According to provincial court records, the accused has a long

criminal record, including convictions for theft and mischief.

Police have established that the victim and suspect were known to each other. Th e attack appears to have been over a dispute, but details have not been re-leased.

Th e incident does not ap-pear to have links to gangs,

drugs or organized crime.Joe Marych, owner of the Headlin-

er barbershop inside the Hope Hotel, has known the victim for years.

“He was a nice, quiet person, not a trouble-maker at all. He just stood

there selling his art,” said Marych.“He didn’t beg for money or ciga-

rettes, he was very polite ... he didn’tdeserve this.”

Marych, who is the same age as thevictim, said it is diffi cult to imaginewhat he went through.

“He was an older guy and he wasn’tvery healthy. He took medication.”

Paquette was the subject of a 2008National Film Board of Canada doc-umentary called Hope.

Th e fi lm followed Paquette, hispartner of 18 years and their fi ve sons– all living on the Schkam Native Re-serve – for one year as they struggledto cope during troubled times.

Yale First Nation chief willing to talk to Sto:lo ‘Shared ownership’ not on table

Accidental callsplaguing 911

Robert FREEMANBlack Press

Yale First Nation Chief Rob-ert Hope says he’s willing to talk with Sto:lo leaders to ease their concerns over the treaty that will eff ectively give the small band control over the lucrative Fraser Canyon fi shery.

Hope said the Yale people are willing to talk about an agree-ment to work out access to fi sh-ing sites in the canyon claimed by some Sto:lo families, but would not consider a “shared territory” agreement as suggested by Sto:lo Nation leader Joe Hall.

“We don’t own the river, but we do own the land,” Hope said in a telephone interview Friday.

And as owners of the land, he explained, the Yale people must manage it to ensure its highest and best use.

“Th e way I see it, this is the very reason we entered the treaty pro-cess, to govern our land,” he said.

So, access is on the table, but shared ownership is not.

However, Sto:lo leaders say they have ample evidence to back up their claim to the land, but federal and provincial negotiators have ignored it to date.

Further, the Sto:lo claim the

proposed treaty violates the B.C. treaty process and the comple-tion of “shared territory agree-ments” before fi nal settlements are signed because at that point they become constitutionally protected.

Hall also suggested in an ear-lier interview that it is “morally” wrong for federal and provincial negotiators to give control over the canyon and other sites sacred to 10,000 Sto:lo to the 150 members of the Yale First Nation.

Hall predicted “violence and bloodshed” during the fi shing season, if no solution to the dispute is found, and that the Sto:lo would “never” accept any third-party’s control over culturally signifi cant areas, like cemeteries and Transformer sites.

“It’s not a fi ght with the Yale, it’s a fi ght with the government,” Hall said in an interview Monday, aft er taking the Sto:lo case to B.C. Aboriginal Relations Minister Mary Polak.

“Th ey’re trying to do through the back door what they couldn’t do through the front door,” he said.

Th e issue is not an “over-lap-ping” land claim, he added, but “a Sto:lo village that’s attempting to get a treaty” that gives it the abil-ity to determine access to an area that he said “belongs to all Sto:lo.”

But Chief Hope adamantly denies the Yale people have any

links to the Sto:lo, with their own dis-tinct language and cultural practices. Th e Yale band was “lumped” into the Sto:lo tribe by Eng-lish government of-fi cials as a matter of convenience, he says.

Hope also said Yale beach was not included in treaty talks, for the express

purpose of giving the Sto:lo - and any others - access to the river.

“We purposely did not negoti-ate for (Yale beach), so the Sto:lo could still come up and exercise their right to fi sh, the right they say they have,” he said.

Th e federal fi sheries depart-ment continues to issue licences

to the Sto:lo to fi sh in the can-yon area, he added, and “will notstop doing that, regardless of thetreaty.”

But on the land, Chief Hopesaid the Yale intend to manageaccess to protect it from carelesscampers, and to ensure the safetyof his people – and others camp-ing in the area.

“We want to make it totallyclear the Yale territory will notbe a haven for bad people likethieves and drug dealers, becausewhere there’s fi sh in the summer-time, there’s money, and wherethere’s money there’s alcohol anddrugs,” he said.

Hope said he was disappointedby Sto:lo leaders’ talk of violencebecause it could send the wrongmessage that they condone suchacts.

Hall said he is “agreeable” totalk again with Sto:lo leaders, butfelt his “best option” might be totalk to individual Sto:lo abouttheir concerns.

“Th e Yale First Nation andmyself, we’re agreeable to talk toSto:lo leaders again, if not we’lltalk to grassroots people,” he said.“All they want to do is fi sh andlook aft er the fi sh in the tradi-tional manner.”

Th e RCMP is trying to reduce the number of accidental 911 calls it re-ceives.

Th e Upper Fraser Valley Regional De-tachment 911 Operations Communica-tions Center (OCC), located in Chilli-wack, received a total of 48,558 calls, of which 5,193 were abandoned. Over half (53 per cent) of those abandoned calls were generated from mobile devices, as more and more people are primarily using wireless technology as means of communication.

Th is facility off ers a centralized service to a combined population of 237,550 people in vast region with Bos-ton Bar to the north, Manning Park to the east, 264th Avenue to the west and all of Chilliwack, Agassiz and Hope includ-ing Cultus Lake.

Th e manager of the Upper Fraser Val-ley OCC, civilian member Shelly Mercer, said OCC members spend a signifi cant amount of time tracking abandoned 911 calls. Th at time is exponentially longer for police offi cers on the road attempting to follow up.

Operators are required to call back dropped calls to determine whether they are real emergencies. If the operator is unable to reach anyone, attempts to lo-cate the caller is the next step; then a po-lice offi cer is dispatched to verify physi-cally. Determining the location of a cell phone dropped/abandoned call requires much more eff ort. It means contacting the cell service provider to obtain sub-scriber information, obtaining their GPS

coordinates and then dispatching policeto the location.

Putting it in perspective, Mercer ex-plains that “police offi cers are taken off the road for hours each day just to re-spond and verify abandoned calls. Th at precious time could be spent on inves-tigating more serious off ences and re-sponding to real emergencies.”

Mercer said there is no data on how each community compares to another.

Education is the key and Mercer saidoperators attempt to explain to callers what is considered an emergency.

New technology informs 911 opera-tors if a call has been made, even if the caller hangs up before the phone rings.

“It pops up on our screen,” she ex-plained.

Operators and offi cers alike are ask-ing the public to stay on the line if youaccidentally call 911 and simply tell the operator there is no emergency. Th e op-erators will appreciate you saving them the time. Additionally, pick up the phone when you receive a callback aft er acci-dentally dialing the emergency line. Th is will avoid having a police offi cer knock on your door.

Other useful tips to eliminate acciden-tal dialing of 911 include:

Removing your mobile phones and wireless devices from your pockets while you are driving or in a car to avoid ac-cidental “pocket dialing”.

Removing 911 from your pro-grammed speed dials whether on your mobile phone or land line.

“They’re trying to do through the back door what they couldn’t do through the front

door.”

OUR PHARMACISTS DISPENSE INFORMATION AS WELL AS MEDICATION

It’s common knowledge that our bodies can metabolize one standard alcoholic drink per

hour. Binge drinking on the other hand is very dangerous. Binge drinking is de ned as six or more drinks (4 for women) over two hours at least once weekly. Binge drinking doubles your risk of heart attack.Food for thought: Life expectancy for a woman in Zimbabwe is 42 years. In Japan it is 86 and in Canada it is 83. The massive difference is due to the variability in living conditions and availability to good healthcare.

Depression is not a normal part of getting older. What is normal is to be sad over the loss of a loved one, illness restricting mobility or activities such as driving. This isn’t depression. But depression comes with an overwhelming sense of helplessness, boredom, a loss of interest in hobbies and friends, lack of energy and a strong sense of hopelessness. Depression cannot be ignored. Seek help now. Normal body temperatures can range from 97.5ºF (36.4ºC) to 98.9ºF (37.2ºC). Body temperature also varies through the day being a bit lower around 3AM to higher

twelve hours later. Body temperature is one of the “vital signs” doctors use to diagnose illness. Have a good working thermometer available in your home.

Slide strikes Sunshine Valley

A 24-year-old male foreign exchange student drowned in Hope’s Kawkawa Lake last weekend.

His body was recovered Monday morn-ing by the RCMP Underwater Recovery Team (URT).

Th e incident occurred on Sunday af-ternoon when the student from Kenya entered the water from a fl oating dock ap-proximately 70 feet from the beach area.

When he failed to surface, Hope RCMP were called to the scene.

Th e initial search turned up nothing. Th e next day, at approximately 9:35 a.m., URT recovered and removed the man’s body.

With calm waters and weather, the team spotted the man’s body 24 feet down. A team of fi ve members from the URT as-sisted with the recovery.

Th e coroner’s offi ce attended and deter-mined foul play is not suspected.

Th e body was transported to the Royal Columbian Hospital for an autopsy. Con-fi rmation of cause of death has not been determined.

Neither the man’s name, nor the name of the group he was with, is being released to the public until police notify the next of kin.

Th ere were approximately 16 young

adults, all of whom were foreign exchange students, who were together at the lake when the incident occurred.

Four or fi ve of the students were on the fl oating dock when the man entered the water.

“Th e early stages of the investigation point to the young man being unable to swim,” said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck.

“It’s a really sad accident and very up-setting for the people who witnessed it.”

Th e RCMP would like to urge anyone who is around the water to wear a life jacket or another approved fl otation de-vice.

A landslide last Thursday afternoon crashed down on four residences in the Sunshine Valley. No one was hurt in the incident.

Student’s body recovered from lake


Geotechnical crews are busy working in the Sun-shine Valley aft er a land-slide crashed down on several homes last Th urs-day aft ernoon.

Trees, mud and other debris slid into four resi-dences, one of which was occupied at the time.

No one was injured in the incident which oc-curred at about 5 p.m.

RCMP were on scene and performed a tactical evacuation on the homes – 15211 Cedar Blvd., 15171 Cedar Blvd. and 15131 Twig Terrace.

Th e fourth address was unavailable.

Patricia Ross, chair of the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD), quickly signed a declaration an-nouncing a local emergen-cy and issued the evacua-tion notice.

Dennis Adamson, a FVRD board member rep-resenting Electoral Area B, toured the slide site by helicopter.

“It’s devastating. It’s hard

to fi nd words to describe it,” said Adamson.

Two of the homes re-ceived light damage, but Adamson said the worst hit home happened to be the one which was occu-pied.

“Th ere was a lady from the Philippines in it ... she was lucky to get out.”

Tareq Islam, the FVRD’s director of engineering was on site Monday and said the investigation is still ongoing.

He said the landslide was 225 metres long and about 25 metres wide at the start. Th e width grew to about 75 metres by the time it stopped.

While no offi cial cause has been determined, Is-lam said there was light rain and snowfall the day before and an under-ground spring located nearby.

Homeowners will not be allowed to return to the residences at this time, due to instability.

Only one home is a per-manent residence while the other were seasonal properties.

New look for hospitalKevin MILLSBlack Press

Fraser Canyon Hospi-tal’s emergency entrance is going to be safer and more effi cient, according to Catherine Wiebe.

Th e site director at the hospital, Wiebe led a large delegation of dig-nitaries on a tour of the new renovations.

“It’s been a lot of work ... the staff have been real-ly patient and are thrilled with the improvements,” said Wiebe.

Before the renovations, there was no way to con-trol who came in and out of the hospital in the late hours.

Now that security doors, a new entrance way and other features have been added, condi-tions will be better for pa-tients and doctors.

“Staff are now bet-ter able to help patients,

rather than provide traf-fi c control.”

Heather Cook, execu-tive director of the hos-pital, said staff embraced the new project and even off ered input on how it should be designed.

MLA Barry Penner was on hand, calling the

hospital improvements a good cause.

“It reinforces to people in the community that this hospital will be here for a long time,” said Penner. Th at has been an ongoing fear for some citizens.

“Over the years we’ve

had concerns that thehospital was not sup-ported by Fraser Health,”said Hope Mayor LaurieFrench.

He called it a well-run community hospital thatalso serves the needs of visitors and the sur-rounding area.

Th e B.C. government is promising to cut the harmonized sales tax rate by two percentage points over the next three years, and issue $175 rebate cheques for each child and lower-income senior this year.

Th e program is aimed at persuading voters to keep the HST in a mail-in ref-erendum that begins in June. If the HST survives, the fi rst one per cent rate cut would take eff ect July 1, 2012.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the changes mean the average B.C. fam-ily will see an overall tax reduction of $120 a year when the HST rate reaches 10 per cent.

Th e HST currently costs the statisti-cally average household an additional $350 a year, although there are wide variations among actual households. Falcon acknowledged that some fami-lies would continue to pay more until 2014.

If a majority of voters opt to keep the HST, current low-income rebates would continue to be paid, and $175 transition cheques would go to parents for each

child under 18, and to some seniors as well.

Single seniors earning up to $40,000a year would get the entire $175, and a partial payment for incomes up to$43,500. Senior couples would receive $175 for a combined income up to$40,000 and a partial payment up to a$50,000 income.

Falcon said with the rebate chequestaken into account, the majority of fam-ilies are better off with an 11 per centHST rate. Once the rate falls to 10 per cent, all income brackets are better off than they were under the old provincialsales tax at seven per cent, he said.

To keep the government’s defi cit re-duction plan on track, Falcon is pro-posing to raise the general corporate income tax rate two points to 12 percent, and delay a small business tax cutscheduled for next year. Th e small busi-ness income tax is currently at 2.5 percent, scheduled to drop to zero in 2012.

Th e proposed corporate tax increasemirrors a promise made by NDP leaderAdrian Dix in his leadership campaign.Dix said Wednesday the public will still reject the HST because the B.C. Liberals can’t be trusted to tell the truth.

New structure is wider and higher

Bridge ‘long time coming’Kevin MILLSBlack Press

Aft er years of debate and planning, the new Kawkawa Lake Bridge was offi cially opened on Friday morning.

A host of dignitaries and members of the pu-blic came out to celebrate the event, which took place on both the new and old bridges.

“Th is project has been on the books for quite a while as maintenance costs were rising and sa-fety issues were more fre-quent, said Hope Mayor Laurie French. “It’s a pro-ject that has been on the desk of a lot of diff erent mayors, it’s been long time coming.”

While fi nal costs have not been calculated, French said the bridge will cost Hope taxpay-ers far less than the $3 million share originally discussed. Th e project was fi nanced with the federal and provincial governments, with each party provided one-third of the funding.

Th e decision to build the bridge was a contro-versial one from the start.

“Th ere are people who are attached to the old bridge, because of the movie First Blood,” said French.

Th e fi lm that launched the Rambo series was fi lmed in Hope and the old bridge played a pro-minent role. But despite the sentimentality, a new bridge was needed.

Th e new structure is

wider – allowing vehicles to pass easier – and high-er, reducing fl ood risks.

“It’s going to be a boon for development on the east side,” said French.

As part of the opening, both MLA Barry Penner, Chilliwack-Hope, and new MP Mark Strahl, Chilliwack-Fraser Cany-on were on hand.

“On a day like this, I’m glad I’m not the environ-ment minister anymore,” joked Penner about the downpour of rain which started just before the ce-remony.

He told the crowd he was asked to “go to bat” for a new bridge about three years ago and was happy to see the project complete.

Th e new bridge is a concrete, two-lane struc-ture with bike paths on either side of the roadway and a protected pedes-trian crossover. Spanning the Coquihalla River, it is built to withstand 200-year fl ood levels and pro-

vides access to residen-ces and businesses from Hope to the Othello Tun-nel area.

Now that the new brid-ge is offi cially open, plans are in the works to take down the old bridge later this summer.

Even if all you care about is your own wallet, the harmonized sales tax just became an offer you shouldn’t refuse.

Premier Christy Clark prom-ised a “bold” fix for the HST, and she delivered.

For months I have been argu-ing that the only way to overcome the wave of rejection caused by the panicked introduction of the HST is to offer a rate cut.

I expected one per cent.Now if you vote to keep it, a

second one per cent reduction will be largely financed by re-versing some of the B.C. Liberals’ business tax cuts of recent years.

It not only sweetens the deal for consumers, it’s great politics.

First, let’s look at it from a self-ish, short-term perspective, the

way some readers loudly remind me they view the world.

If you vote next month to go back to the provincial sales tax, the 12 per cent PST-GST on goods that you probably didn’t notice before will continue.

If you have kids under 18 or are a senior living on less than $40,000 a year, you will be saying no to a $175-per-person bonus cheque.

If you only care about yourself, you won’t care about the loss of HST credits to the poorest people in B.C.

You won’t care about the prov-ince repaying Ottawa’s transition fund, or rebuilding a B.C. sales tax department to force business to convert their billing systems again. You won’t care about the competitive advantage given to Ontario, unless it costs you your job.

When the B.C. government of the day has to cut services to pay for this disastrous reversal, you’ll

denounce them for doing what you told them to do.

You will get the government you deserve, which may include a PST extended to restaurant meals or haircuts, because the money has to come from somewhere.

When Clark’s HST “fix” was unveiled, it was the NDP’s turn to panic. They have painted them-selves into a corner, and now face the prospect of arguing for a re-turn to an archaic sales tax with a higher rate.

And once again, Bill Vander

Zalm and Chris Delaney tour B.C. in their Fight HST conspiracy clown car, refueled by $250,000 of public funds to campaign in the referendum.

Their campaign of fear and ig-norance is encountering heavy resistance at university and col-lege campuses, however, as tax experts fact-check their claims on the spot. (They’ve added “rallies” in an effort to keep fear alive.)

Delaney still raves about Eu-rope being the cause of all this alleged human misery with their insidious Value Added Tax.

Vander Zalm continues to mut-ter about a plot to establish world government through carbon tax-es and the HST.

It would be nice if the NDP-Fight HST crowd were concerned about the wave of retiring baby boomers that is starting to wash across the country.

But they’re not. There are changes happening

now in the B.C. economy that

1960s socialism and 1980s pop-ulism are not equipped to han-dle.

The living standard of our chil-dren is going to be determined by how we deal with our aging, glo-balizing population, and this is one reason to understand a shift to consumption taxes.

Fourteen months ago, I wrote that more U.S. states are joining Washington, Hawaii and others with sales taxes on services as well as goods.

Robert Kleine, treasurer for Michigan, explained it this way:

“The basic thing is that we need to update our tax structure. We’ve got a 20th-century tax structure based on a different sort of econ-omy. The tax base doesn’t grow as the economy grows.”

Selling HST to the ‘me’ generation

Less reasonto axe the tax

Is a two per cent cut to the HST suffi cient to keep the tax reform measure alive aft er June’s referendum?

Th e B.C. Liberals are hoping so.Announced Wednesday, along with annual rebate cheques for each

child and low-income senior, the “fi xes” mean all income brackets will be better off under the HST than with the old provincial sales tax structure, according to fi nance minister Kevin Falcon.

Th e current low-income rebates would continue to be paid, and $175 transition cheques would go to parents for each child under 18, and some seniors as well.

Single seniors earning up to $40,000 a year would get the entire $175, and a partial payment for incomes up to $43,500. Senior couples would receive $175 for a combined income up to $40,000 and a partial payment up to a $50,000 income.

Th e measures do remove much of the argument against the HST, albeit over three years, with the fi rst one per cent cut occurring in July of next year.

Including the rebates, the impact of the HST will be largely negated for the income brackets ostensibly least able to absorb an additional tax burden.

And according to the government, the statistically average family will see an overall tax reduction of about $120 per year when the HST rate reaches 10 per cent.In the meantime, the HST has the potential to do what it was intended to do, which is to boost the economy by reducing costs to business, and encouraging investment and job creation.

It makes little sense to return to an antiquated, multi-layered tax system – other than to “punish” the government for the manner in which it rolled out its tax reform policy.To do so might yield superfi cial satisfaction for some, but eliminates the prospect of long-term economic benefi t for all.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

Do higher gasprices impact your

travel plans?

Here’s how you responded: Yes 85% No 15%

LAST WEEK WE ASKED:

Plug Plug Plug Plug Plug Plug Plug Plug

I am one of many Fraser Valley residents who was very grateful when the provincial government took steps to permanently shut down the natural gas-fi red Bur-rard Th ermal generating plant in Port Moody. Burning non-re-newable fossil fuels in a confi ned airspace like the Lower Mainland is not good for anyone’s lungs let alone for our children’s lungs or for those of people who suff er from asthma.

But now that a new technology has been developed that can ex-tract natural gas locked in massive shale rock deposits (providing an abundant new supply of relatively cheap natural gas), I fear natural gas-fi red power plants similar to Burrard Th ermal and Sumas II could resurface in this province and reverse the progress we’ve made in cleaning up our air.

I would therefore like our elect-ed offi cials to recommit to clean

energy development, because burning natural gas to generate electricity is simply not neces-sary when we have so many al-ternative energy resources in this province that can do the job bet-ter and do it cleanly and renew-ably. Staying on the clean energy path is something our children and grandchildren will thank us for someday.

I always thought Santa Claus owned the North Pole. But it seems I was wrong because Denmark is about to lay claim to the continental shelf around Greenland and the Faroe Islands, including the North Pole.

Canada, Russia, Nor-way and the United States have also made claims to the Arctic, driven in large part by untapped oil and gas reserves estimated to make up 30 per cent of the world’s undiscov-ered resources.

Ironically, access to these untapped oil and gas resources has been made possible by an unprecedented melting

I was shocked to learn that the Australians are among the world’s worst per capita carbon pol-luters despite having numerous renewable energy resources they could be tapping into. In fact, over the past 50 years, as Australia’s overall energy use grew more than 10-fold, coal power use increased by 1,200 percent.

Over that same peri-od, Australia’s percent-age of renewable energy as an electricity source dropped. In 1960, for example, 19 percent of Australia’s electricity came from renewable energy sources, but by 2008 only seven per-cent came from renew-able sources. Could B.C. be headed in that same direction? Could an in-creasing reliance on coal power be in the cards for us? It’s a possibility con-sidering that B.C. has become a frequent net importer of coal power, despite our province’s untapped abundance of renewable energy.

I don’t know at what

point British Columbia ceased to be capable of producing enough r e n e w a b l y - s o u r c e d electricity for our own domestic consumption, but with electricity de-mand in this province projected to increase by as much as 40 per cent over the next 20 years it’s clear that we need to start preparing for our future energy load instead of continuing to lean on imported coal power.

Jesse McClinton

B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix is so consumed with his own political ambitions that he refuses to admit that anything good could pos-sibly happen unless he is at the helm. So why doesn’t he show that he has something positive rather than saying “no” to everything proposed

and then putting down the Government. Why doesn’t he show that he can engage in dialogue and build con-sensus rather than behaving like a spoiled child?

When politicians devise strategies, the goal should be to move the us forward, not to move their own ca-

reers forward, keeping us in limbo.

Christy Clark has some good ideas and Dix could contribute to making B.C. more prosperous for every-body. But he chooses not to participate in a meaning-ful, but rather by throwing wrenches in the works and

spoiling the cream for ev-eryone else.

I can not help but shake my head as the Premier comes up with another good idea after another, particu-larly the amendments to the HST, proving that when the politicians put the good of the province before the

good of their personal ambi-tions, we can move forward. But dialogue and consensus requires listening. And you can’t do that if you’re always criticizing to score cheap political points.

of polar ice caused by global warming.

In other words, the carbon dioxide we’ve released in the past through the combustion of oil and gas has now made it possible to ac-cess even more oil and

gas which will, in turn, add even more carbon dioxide to the atmo-sphere and cause even more global warming.

Tell me there is not some sort of perverse madness at work here in the quest for the oil and

gas resources locked beneath the Arctic sea-bed. Th ere surely must be when the eff ects of past consumption are so plainly obvious in the melting of polar ice.

Drivers vexed but pain at the pump may have peaked

Gas prices less volatileNews

Jeff NAGELBlack Press

Gas prices won’t hit new record highs this summer and are in-stead likely to ease from current levels, according to a petroleum industry expert.

Calgary-based energy analyst Michael Ervin said the peak like-ly came and went when retail gas prices in Metro Vancouver briefl y touched an average of $1.42 a litre May 11.

In Hope, on Tuesday, local sta-tions were charging just under $1.27 per litre.

Th is year’s run-up in gas prices has fueled a new round of pump pain and anger from motorists demanding to know why gasoline is back at near-record levels when crude oil is far below its previous peak.

“Th is illustrates what we’ve been saying for a long time – crude prices are really a terrible indicator of pump prices in gen-eral,” Ervin said.

Crude oil makes up a little under half the overall cost of gasoline, which he noted is a commodity in its own right that fl uctuates according to its own supply-and-demand dynamics.

It may seem like pump prices move in mysterious ways, but a look at the recent price history shows gasoline has actually been much less volatile than crude.

Retail gas prices in Metro Van-couver came close to $1.50 a litre in the summer of 2008 just as crude oil prices peaked just be-low US $150 a barrel.

As the global fi nancial melt-

down and ensuing recession deepened, oil plunged all the way down to $32 a barrel. But gas prices here didn’t fall to 32 cents a litre – they stopped around the 78-cent mark in early 2009.

On the way back up from the bottom, crude has likewise moved up faster than gas.

From the trough to the recent $112 a barrel peak in April, crude oil has more than tripled.

If gas prices had really risen in lockstep with crude, we’d have been paying $2.70 a litre by May.

“Back in 2008, when crude prices were high we saw similar gasoline prices to what we see to-day,” Ervin noted.

“Th e reason gasoline prices weren’t higher then is because inventories of gasoline were very high and kept the retail price of gasoline down in relation to crude oil at that time.”

Ervin was referring to the“crack spread” – the diff erencebetween what refi ners pay forcrude and can charge for the gas-oline they make, depending onmarket conditions.

In 2008, the crack spread wasalmost zero thanks to the glut of gas supply, but he said it’s consid-erably more now.

He doesn’t label the currentprofi t margins excessive, but in-stead says drivers were getting avery good deal three years agowhen gas prices weren’t rising asfast as crude.

“Consumers actually got abouta 15-cent-a-litre break.”

Demand typically surges in thespring when more drivers taketo the roads, resulting in refi n-ers enjoying a wider crack spread until more refi nery capacity canbe cranked up, usually stabilizingpump prices by June.

Motorists are tired of paying high gas prices when filling their vehicles. Industry experts are now saying the cost of filling your carshould ease down.


Electrical wiring student takes top prize

at skills competition

Good as gold at Skills B.C.

With one gold medal under his belt, Univer-sity of the Fraser Val-ley electrical wiring student Morgan Cox is heading to Quebec with the hopes of mi-ning more gold.

Cox, along with se-veral UFV trades stu-dents, won top honours at the recent Skills B.C. competition — an an-nual event where tra-des and technology students are tested in timed competitions, putting their skills to practical use. Cox,who grew up in Hope, won gold in the post-secon-dary electrical wiring competition

U F V ’s Dean of T r a d e s and Tech-n o l o g y Harv Mc-Cullough says that S k i l l s B.C. is an i m p o r -tant, final test for the trades students as they complete their school year. At the April event, there were more than 330 students from all over the province who participated in 40 different categories. To compete at Skills B.C., all students had to win at earlier regional com-petitions.

“We are proud of all our students and their a c c o m p l i s h m e n t s ,” says McCullough. “Winning medals at the Skills B.C. compe-tition shows that our students have learned well and are ready to work in their chosen industry.”

For Cox, who has a couple of year s of work experience under his belt already, com-pleting UFV’s Electri-cal Wiring certificate program is a measu-red step in a carefully thought-out career plan.

“I like the electrical trade and it can lead to a steady job, so I thought I might as well go and get my red seal and get something of-ficial under my belt,” he says.

Cox, was homes-chooled until Grade 10, attended Hope Secon-

dary School, and then transferred to Sardis Secondary where he graduated in 2005. He spent two years con-ducting missionary work in Argentina, then came home and started working with a local electrical con-tractor.

He now lives in Chilliwack and is just completing his first year of a four-year ap-prenticeship program, but says he will chal-lenge his second year because of his work ex-perience, and hopes to do his third and fourth year in one combined school year.

The am-bitious stu-dent has no plans to stop there. He hopes one day to work as a p h y s i c i s t and expects he will re-

turn to UFV after a few years of working to earn a physics degree.

“I realized in my class that the things that re-ally interest me the most have to do with the molecular makeup of objects.

“I can see myself do-ing electrical work all my life and being hap-py, but I’m also thin-king there is so much more to explore and learn about, and I like the whole area of quan-tum physics.”

His electrical wi-ring instructor Rod McLeod is not surpri-sed Cox has big goals. He describes him as a go-getter and is sure he will do well, whatever career he eventually selects.

“It’s not an easy com-petition, as the whole idea of the Skills B.C. is to test the students and to see exactly what they can do,” he explains.

“B.C. generally does well in these competi-tions because we train our students extremely well and the record of success for B.C. stu-dents is very good.”

While in Quebec, Cox will be tested against other post-secondary trades stu-dents.

Parade, dancing highlight day-long festivities

Boston Bar celebrates May Day

Saturday was May Day in Boston Bar and resi-dents came out in full force to celebrate, watch the parade, see the crown-ing of the new May Queen and enjoy the traditional May Pole dance.

Event organizer Shirley Crow said the 84th an-nual event was another success.

“Everyone who was out there has a good time, we always do,” said Crow.

However, cool, windy temperatures and periods of rain may have aff ected attendance.

“We were down a bit from last year.”

Crow and her group of about 30 volunteers have been working since March to stage the event.

Parade Winners:As part of the annual

parade, several awards were handed out, includ-ing:

Best decorated car or truck – Citizens on Patrol.

Best decorated fl oat – Th e Royal Party.

Best costume – Shirley Crow.

Best marching group – Th e Maypole dancers.

Best bike – Joseph Th omas.

Best whatever – Citizens on “poop” patrol – Nathan O’Donahey.

The day-long festival kicked off with a parade, led by event organizer Shirley Crow (left) in a horse-drawn carriage. There were may different motorized vehi-cles in the parade, and three-year-old Nola Rose (bottom right) took a donkey for a quick stroll.

Hope to host first MS WalkWalking for a cause June 12


Th e 2011 Scotiabank MS Walk, will take place in Hope on June 12.

Th is marks the fi rst time that Hope has host-ed the event, which has taken place throughout the province for more than two decades.

In the past, area resi-dents have had to travel to Chilliwack or Ab-botsford to participate, but event coordinator Deanna McIntyre, of the Fraser Valley Chapter of the MS Society of Cana-da, decided it was time to expand.

“Our chapter goes all the way from 264th Street (Aldergrove) to Boston Bar ... but we’ve never hosted an event in the Eastern area of our chapter,” she said.

By bringing the walk to Hope, McIntyre believes it will attract new partici-

pants.“If you live in Boston

Bar, you may not want to drive to Abbotsford or Chilliwack. But you would go to Hope.”

While smaller than most host communities, McIntyre said Hope has all the resources needed to run a successful event.

While she doesn’t know exactly how many people will take part, online reg-istration has picked up the past week.

‘We don’t have huge expectations for the numbers, we just want to host a successful event.”

Th e 5 km walk begins at Memorial Park a loops around the town, end-ing where it began. Th e event starts at 11 a.m. with check-in beginning at 9:45 a.m.

McIntyre said the walk is wheelchair accessible – it takes place completely on paved routes – and, for those who are feeling

energetic, you can make it a 10 km run, by doing the loop twice.

Participants can reg-ister ahead of time by Vvisiting www.mswalks.ca or by calling 1-877-746-9331.

Registration will also be accepted on the morn-ing of the event.

Adults who bring in

donations totaling $125 or more will receive a T-shirt (kids 12 and under will also receive a shirt if they raise $35 or more). Other prizes will also be available. Donations can be handed in at the check-in table prior to the walk.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an unpredictable, oft en

disabling disease of the central nervous system.

Symptoms may in-clude vision disturbances such as double or blurred vision; extreme fatigue; loss of balance; pain; de-pression; speech prob-lems; bladder and bowel problems; short-term memory problems, and even paralysis.

Riding for

Gerry

Barry StewartHope Standard

An invitation to take part in a two-day international bike ride may have ignited a new passion for a local sports enthusiast.

Nichole Desjardins says she heard about the Ride to Conquer Cancer from a childhood friend, Pam Fjeld.

“We grew up together, two houses apart in Saskatch-ewan,” said Desjardins on Sunday.

“She signed up for the ride, as her father – who hap-pened to be my godfather – was battling prostate cancer at the time but has since passed away. She was looking for donations and after giving it some thought, I decided the best way I could support her would be to ride, hopefully, beside her. She has participated in the Penticton Iron-man, so I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep pace. I’m thinking this is a time when my Irish, Scottish and French blood mix, which equals stubborn and determined, might come in very handy!”

Desjardins has lived in Hope for almost four years, though she spent many winters, starting in 1991, working at Manning Park. Now, she works as a massage therapist at the Harrison Hot Springs Hotel.

This is the third year of B.C.’s version of the nation-ally organized cancer fundraiser. The B.C. ride covers 236 kilometres over two days. It starts in Cloverdale on June 18 and ends in Redmond Washington on the 19th. It’s a longer distance than Desjardins has ever covered, so she wants to be well prepared for it.

Another displaced Flatlander, Shelley Empey, heard about Desjardins’ entry in the big ride and offered to loan a road bike for a few months.

“The bike was given to Shelley by a good friend of hers who is into triathlons, so I have no doubt that it’s of good quality and has the experience on the road,” said Desjar-dins. “I know it will carry me through.

“I wanted to make sure I liked road cycling first before purchasing my own bike, as they start at around $800 and go up from there. The highest I’ve seen is around $8,000.

“I’m no Lance Armstongette though, so a decent road

Desjardins to participate in two-day, 236-km event to help fight

cancer

Hope resident Nichole Desjardins will be cycling in the third annual Ride to Conquer Cancer, June 18 and 19. The journey begins in Cloverdale and ends in Redmond, Washington. Desjardins works in Harrison Hot Springs and is taking part in the Ride to Work challenge as part of her training. She estimates it will be about a two-hour ride each way.

Josh Ogren of Coquihalla Elementary School, won the Grade 4 Frizbee toss at the School District 78 elementary school track and field meet held at Kent Elementary. Ogren’s throw travelled just over 30 metres.

Golden throw

bike I’d be looking at would be $1,400 mini-mum – and that’s just the bike. All the gear that goes along with it adds up in a hurry as well.”

Desjardins’ ride is a Kona Kapu, with high-pressure tires no wider than a bottle cap. Sharp rocks and glass are no friends of a road biker.

“I’m planning on carrying extra tubes for sure,” said Desjar-dins. “I already learned that lesson a couple of weeks ago when I found myself walking my bike back from the old Nicomen Creek campsite, up the Hope Princeton.”

Somehow, Desjardins training runs have been able to work around the wettest days of this record-setting spring. She recently got in her longest ride yet – to Harrison Mills and back, without much of the wet stuff.

“It was 108 kilometres and it took me 4:45,” said Desjardins. “It was quite the kicker, going up Mount Woodside, standing on the pedals all the way. Quite a hoot on the way down, too. I love the rush of wind in my hair.”

She’ll be taking part in the Bike to Work Week challenge, riding from Hope to Harrison Hot Springs and back

on her work days. Mon-day was Desjardins’ first cycling commute.

“It will probably be just over two hours each way,” she predicted.

Last year’s B.C. ride raised $9.2 million, from just 2,252 riders. It’s serious business — and each rider is required to bring in a minimum of $2,500, after an entry fee of $50.

“I thought I’d have trouble raising that much,” said Desjar-dins, “but people were very generous and I’ve already raised that much. I sent out e-mails to 90 or so family and friends and they were very supportive.

“I’ve known many

people who have been affected by cancer in some way or another. Currently, it really hits close to home with my brother-in-law back in Saskatchewan, who is battling lung cancer. He is a real inspiration.

“I’m doing the ride to honour my godfather, Gerry Fjeld and I don’t know how else to help my brother-in-law. I’m just hoping that enough money is raised for research that they can prevent others from going through it.”

Desjardins is part of a three-rider team that includes Pam and her friend Margot. They’ve called themselves “Ger-ry’s Drive.”

Online donations can be made up until June 17 by logging onto the conquercacer.ca site. A tax receipt is issued for donations of $10 or more.

WITTMANN, Franziska

Franziska Wittmann passed away at Fraser Canyon Hospi-tal on May 20, 2011 at 89 years of age. Born in Hungary in 1921, her early life was marked by the vicissitudes of the politics of Europe. After a period of deportation to Rus-sia, she managed to rejoin her husband and young daughter who by then were refugees in Germany. But it was Canada that they embraced for its stability and opportunity to re-sume their life as farmers. In 1980 they moved from Sas-katchewan to retire in Hope, where their garden and grand-children became their pride and joy.Franziska was predeceased by her husband Matthias twelve years ago. She is sur-vived by two daughters, Theresia (Andrew) and Anna (John); fi ve grandchildren; and seven great grandchildren to honor her memory. If you would like, donations can be made in Franziska’s memory to Fraser Canyon Hope Hospice Society (604)860-7713.Special thanks to Dr. Greggain and the staff at FCH, also to the friends who visited her faithfully.
