Truck careens off bridge, driver killed

A 43-year-old Mission man was killed when his transport truck careened off the Emory Creek bridge at approximately 2 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 27.

The trucker, hauling produce into the interior, lost control of his 2010 Peterbilt on a gentle curve entering onto the bridge, taking out a 18-metre section of guard rail at mid-span, before crashing 12 metres down and into the creek.

At the time of the accident, there was compact snow on the road with some freshly fallen snow on top, said RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen.

“At this point in the investigation, it would appear that the causal factor for this collision would be speed relative to the road conditions. However, a mechanical inspection will be conducted.”

Anyone who might have seen the vehicle before the collision or who witnessed the accident is asked to call Const. Roddie Cairns at the Fraser Valley Traffic Services office, 604-702-4039.

The Hope Search and Rescue swift water team assisted the coroner in recovering the driver’s body.

Earlier Sunday morning emergency service crews had also been called out to a rollover crash at Herrling Island, west of Hope, as well as for a vehicle over the embankment at Alexandra Lodge in the Fraser Canyon.

Last week, a crash between three transport trucks also on the Emory Creek Bridge claimed the life of a passenger in one of the trucks. Road conditions at the time were also slippery due to heavy snowfall.

NewsRegional district ‘re-structuring’ will save city taxpayers $450,000

Taxpayers from Abbotsford to Chilliwack will save $450,000 this year thanks to “corporate re-structuring” at the Fraser Valley Regional District.

But some FVRD directors in the electoral areas outside municipalities fear rural residents may lose some of their democratic representation as some committees are cut to “streamline” operations.

Dennis Adamson, Yale electoral area director, said the changes were made “under the illusion that we’re going to save money ... what we’ve done (instead) is eliminated a lot of discussion on lots of issues.”

“I fear my people are not going to get represented to their full extent,” he said, at last week’s board meeting.

The $450,000 in savings stem, in part, from a “limited” hiring freeze that started in 2010, and which saw a number of staff positions eliminated by attrition rather than lay-offs.

But a number of committees were also cut as the FVRD “recast” its operations into two divisions, Regional and Corporate Services and Community and Regulatory Services.

The former Electoral Area Services Committee, where rural issues were discussed by all the electoral area directors before going to the full board, has been rolled into the CRSC, which will now deal with all “community” issues.

The RCSC replaces the former

executive committee, and the committees for parks and the environment as well. But only three electoral area directors and six mayors will sit on the committee.

Director Wendy Bales, whose electoral area includes Lake Errock and the Hemlock Valley, said after the board meeting that rural areas have only one representative, unlike municipalities that have several directors at the FVRD board.

“I wouldn’t expect that the mayors of cities of the FVRD would have the time to be informed about all the issues in my electoral area,” she said, and be able to give those issues full voice on the new RCSC.

She agreed electoral area directors can speak at the RCSC - but they still won’t have a vote there.

“I still plan to attend the new committee, but (I) feel that it is at more of a disadvantage to the ratepayers that I represent,” she said.

Director David Lamson voted with Bales and Adamson, but he felt any issues of concern to electoral areas could still

be dealt with at the CRSC, and there will be electoral area directors sitting on the new RCSC.

“I think (the re-structuring) is a good thing, and I support it,” he said.

If all seven electoral area directors sat on the RCSC, they could conceivably out-vote the six mayors, who represent 95 per cent of the FVRD population.

Chilliwack residents will see the FVRD portion of their municipal taxes drop by $363,972 (20 per cent) to $1.4 million in 2011 from $1.8 million in 2010.

Abbotsford residents will see their FVRD taxes drop by $715,736 (28 per cent) in 2011 to $1.7 million from $2.5 million in 2010.

According to Hope Mayor Laurie French, Hope municipal taxpayers do not see a savings with the changes, as the District of Hope is a strong user of joint regional services, including the airport, recreation centre and hockey arena - services that will see less funding from the bigger centres of Chilliwack and Abbotsford.

Hope will actually see a $1,121 (.09 per cent) increase in its FVRD tax requisition to $1,216,943 in 2011 from $1,215,822 in 2010.

The re-structuring also means a $523,939 increase in the total taxes collected from the seven electoral areas, rising to $4.1 million in 2011 from $3.6 million in 2010.

What we’ve done is eliminated a lot of discussion on lots of issues.”

Some people still look for bargain-priced drugs on-line or while visiting countries like

Mexico. The pills may look exactly like the ones you buy in Canada but you can never be sure even though all the labelling seems to be proper. The safest way is to get your prescriptions locally from people you know.Life expectancy for men in Rus-sia is on average 15 years less than in Canada. This is primarily due to excess consumption of alcohol (mainly vodka). A 20-year old man will have only a 50% chance of living to the age of 65.

Common warts on the hands and ngers are caused by a virus. They

usually clear up within about six months and 75% disappear within two years with no treatment. However, because they can be unsightly, treatment with over-the-counter remedies containing salicylic acid can be used and applied daily for about 12 weeks. Liquid nitrogen can be applied by a doctor and works quickly. Even the silver-duct tape has been used to a bit of success. In Canada, there is a new drug, called dabigatran, which can be used in place of warfarin as an anticoagulant.

The good news about dabigatran is that no regular blood tests are needed.

HOPE & DISTRICT FIGURE SKATING CLUB PRESENTS

Robert FreemanBlack Press

The City of Abbotsford is being wooed by the Fraser Valley Regional District to the east and by the Metro Vancouver Regional District to the west.

But Abbotsford Mayor George Peary says the city “might become the spinster in the middle” and not join either, wiping out one whole level of government by the move and saving its residents millions in taxes.

“It’s not personal,” the mayor says. “It’s business.”

An FVRD report released this week promises Abbotsford taxpayers a $715,736 cut in the amount of taxes collected by the regional government, which means the average residential taxpayer ($347,157 in assessed value) would see the regional portion of their

tax bill drop to $29.04 from $40.76 in 2010 - a 28.7 per cent reduction.

The cuts are part of a region-wide restructuring, which would see Chilliwack’s tax requisition chopped by 20 per cent to $1.4 million from $1.8 million in 2010, and Mission’s drop by 20.4 per cent to $651,522 from $818,069 in 2010.

FVRD chair Patricia Ross, who also sits on the Abbotsford city council, says the $2.42 that each taxpayer would ante up monthly for membership in the FVRD “is a pretty good deal, really

... for all the many benefits we get from the FVRD” like emergency 911 dispatch, air quality, social and transit planning.

But there’s also the “lobbying power” of the FVRD government to consider, she adds, which makes the city’s voice “far stronger” when it comes to protecting taxpayers’ interests.

“That’s not something we can quantify and put a dollar value on, but it’s certainly important,” she says.

Peary says the city will study the FVRD report, but saving taxpayers an addition

$1-million by pulling out of the regional district government is hard to argue with.

The city itself already provides its residents with six of the functions offered by the FVRD, he says, like regional growth planning and solid waste management, and could contract out others like mosquito control.

“We have a lot more in common with people to the west, than people to the east - and that’s just the way it is,” he says.

But the mayor doubts the city would join Metro Vancouver because of the onerous fuel tax imposed by that regional district.

“We might become the spinster in the middle” he says, and not join either.

NewsBusiness gets a break on garbage rates, homeowners wait for reviewBy Simone RolphThe Hope Standard

Some businesses are now getting a break on garbage rates under the new contract with First Class Waste Services, but homeowners will have to wait until next year to see if there are any possible savings.

The good news for the commercial sector was announced at last Monday’s council meeting.

“I wish everyone could be getting a break, but this break is for those (companies) who use bins,” said town manager Earl Rowe.

The minimum cost for small businesses who dispose of

their garbage by individual garbage bags will also remain the same for now.

The drop in bin rates “represents what we are comfortable with right now, with the data we have today,” added Mayor Laurie French.

But by the end of the year “we will know for the first time the tonnage of recycling collected” between the commercial and the residential sector, added Rowe.

That data is vital in determining the cost of residential versus commercial collections.

“This (drop in rates) is a temporary thing, but I think our businesses will be pleased,”

said Rowe.The new commercial rate

kicks in this month.The lower rates were made

possible by eliminating the administration fee from the District of Hope as First Class is opening individual contracts directly with its customers.

Previously customer accounts were maintained at the district hall.

Other savings can be realized by business owners with the new contractor by adjusting their bin size and varying the frequency of the pick ups as needed.

Local business owners will now have “control over their costs, for what is relevant

in January to May, may not be relevant during our busy summer season,” added Rowe.

Now they can “call the contractor” and change the frequency of their pick-ups.

The rates, both residential and commercial, will again come under review late this year after a year-long study of garbage and recycling collection, disposal, landfill operating, leachate control, and closure costs.

The aim of the review is to create a complete picture of where we currently stand and where we are going in the future in regards to solid waste collection.

Child protection hearing adjournedBy Robert FreemanBlack Press

A court hearing mandated by legislation for the possible return of a newborn baby to a former Hope couple already fighting the B.C. children’s ministry for custody of three older children was abruptly adjourned last Thursday.

“I was prepared to argue a few points, but the ministry wanted it adjourned,” Zabeth Bayne said in a telephone interview Friday.

However, a ministry spokesperson said in an email Monday that in fact it was

the judge who adjourned the hearing after receiving a report from the ministry director that included the circumstances that caused the removal, and an interim care plan.

“A copy of this is shared with the parents,” the spokesperson wrote. “It is the judge who makes the decision to adjourn a case.”

The Baynes could not be reached for comment by press time Monday.

But during the Friday interview, Zabeth said the Thursday hearing was adjourned for seven days

without a request for an extension and without any ruling on who has custody of her infant son in the interim.

“There was no court ruling given ... it was crazy,” she said. “I don’t understand. We’re left in limbo.”

Bayne also said she and her doula were “cut off” from talking to the pediatrician who is looking after the baby, born premature on Feb. 10 and removed by the ministry several hours later.

The ministry refused comment on the latest removal because the Baynes are already in a court case

with the ministry involving three older children, who were removed after allegations were made that an infant daughter was shaken causing brain injury.

The Baynes claim an older brother, a toddler at the time, tripped and fell on top of his sister. The couple has enlisted the support of medical experts to back up their claim in court hearings over the past three years.

A ruling from Chilliwack provincial court judge Thomas Crabtree is expected by the Baynes sometime this month.

The Falls resort in debt crisisBy Robert FreemanBlack Press

The Falls Golf Resort is deep in the financial rough.

But unlike other grandiose visions of hillside development in Chilliwack, The Falls is the only one to actually tee off and get onto the green.

According to sources contacted by The Progress, Falls developer Rick Wellsby has put every day of his life for the past 20 years into making his 1989 vision come true.

But now the company, Blackburn Developments Ltd., has filed for bankruptcy protection under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act that allows him to hold off creditors, and to continue operating the resort in Chilliwack’s Eastern Hillsides.

“We’re absolutely still operating,” Falls spokesman Robert Wilson said Monday.

He said the court action has no impact on the golf course, the restaurant, or any of the events – like weddings and dinners – scheduled at the resort.

Although The Falls is $75 million in the hole, and the resort development market hard hit by the worldwide recession, Wilson said he is confident the company

can weather the financial storm “and emerge stronger as a company.”

In an earlier interview, Wellsby told The Progress that a mortgage holder had called in a loan which sparked the current “cash crisis” and his subsequent petition for court protection.

Wellsby said at that the time that he was “pretty confident we can turn things around” as 12 residential units now under construction would “generate some cash flow.”

He said the company would be “unveiling a plan soon” to resolve the financial problems.

In court documents obtained by Black Press, Wellsby blamed the company’s debt problems, in part, on the City of Chilliwack and the worldwide economic meltdown of 2008.

“The timing could not have been worse for The Falls,” Wellsby said in one affidavit. “Just as the long-term problems specific to the project were resolved and momentum was (again) starting to build, the general market malaise once again derailed us.”

He also claimed in the affidavit that delays caused by the city’s refusal to approve a sewage system for the resort, and a city-ordered moratorium

on development in the Marble Hill area after ground movement was detected there led to the loss of 70 potential buyers - and a “compounding” debt load.

The moratorium was lifted, Wellsby said in the Feb. 22 petition for court protection, “but real damage was done, as a number of local builders and potential buyers were afraid to construct homes and buildings in the Eastern Hillsides for some time thereafter.”

But Mayor Sharon Gaetz defended city staff for rejecting the sewage treatment proposal made by the resort, and she pointed out the moratorium lasted only 18 days.

“There’s still a lot of (development) energy up on the Eastern Hillsides,” she said Monday, and the proposed sewage system had failed in one B.C. community and became “an operational nightmare” in another.

She said The Falls owes the city $125,000 in taxes.

Wellsby told the court in one affidavit that the “groundwork” has been laid to complete the project, and “if Blackburn can be successfully re-structured, the project in my opinion (is) primed for a successful build-out, over time.”

Mayors continue push to improve Highway 3The Highway 3 mayors coalition met in

Castlegar in February.“We’re looking for an economic

assessment on Highway 3,” Castlegar Mayor Lawrence Chernoff.

He noted that travellers often take the less-scenic Highway 1 when driving through B.C., but if people took Highway 3 instead, it would have a positive impact on both trade and the economy in communities along Highway 3.

But he said that will only happen if the route is improved and travellers are able

to make it to their destinations more quickly and safely.

“We see this as a long-term plan but it is a plan and we need to start somewhere,” he said. “If they see an improvement on the rural conditions, people will start using the route more because of the benefits on the road.”

Chernoff said last week’s meeting was a follow-up to a meeting held with then-Premier Gordon Campbell at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities conference in September.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is currently drafting recommendations that the coalition will go through to see what needs to be done.

Chernoff said he expects to receive the final document this September.

The plans are expected to span approximately 20 years, he said.

“The idea is to move commercial traffic and the tourists. We think we have something that people are missing because they’re taking Highway 1.”

B.C. Liberal leadership candidates Mike de Jong, Christy Clark, George Abbott and Kevin Falcon are applauded by party members Saturday night in Vancouver.

BOAZ JOSEPH/BLACK PRESS

Rivals graceful in defeatBy Tom FletcherBlack Press

Christy Clark’s three rivals put aside the disagreements of the leadership campaign Saturday evening and vowed to work together to carry on the B.C. Liberal government’s work.

Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon finished a close second to Clark on the third and final ballot, but enough of Shuswap MLA George Abbott’s support went to Clark to give her the win.

One of the disagreements Falcon

had with Clark was whether the party should dispense with the scheduled election date of May 2013 and have an early vote to give the new leader a fresh mandate.

“I’m sure that Christy will talk to all of us in the caucus before she makes any final decisions around that,” Falcon said after the vote. “There are opportunities for by-elections [for Clark to run for a seat]. I’m sure Christy will look at all of those, and I’m sure she’ll ask for advice and counsel from other MLAs like myself. And

I’ll be there providing it, and I’ll be supporting her.”

Clark echoed those comments when speaking to reporters after the vote, saying a quick election was not her top priority and she needs to discuss options with the caucus first.

Abbott was asked why more of his supporters didn’t go to Falcon when he was dropped off the ballot after the second round of counting.

“B.C. Liberals are very independent minded people, and all I ever said was, you know, on a balance between

Kevin and Christy, I was going to vote for Kevin,” Abbott said. “But I know for example, my wife had a different view, and I’m sure that many of my other supporters had a different view.”

Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong finished fourth, but he was philosophical.

“Winning’s always your objective, but look at what happened here tonight,” de Jong said. “We’ve got a great new leader, a talented woman who’s going to lead us to the next election, and I believe lead us united and lead us successfully.”

HST protesters crash B.C. Liberal partyBy Tom Fletcher Black Press

Fight HST brought its message to the snowy courtyard outside the Vancouver convention centre last Saturday, as the 5 p.m. deadline for voting to select a new B.C. Liberal leader neared.

“We’re not going to let up on it,” Fight HST organizer Chris Delaney said, noting that opinion polls still show a large majority opposed to the harmonized sales tax.

The group will keep trying to recall B.C. Liberal MLAs in the Comox Valley and Kamloops North, Delaney said, and petitioners are getting ready to launch new recalls despite the failure of the first effort

in Oak Bay-Gordon Head.

Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows MLA Marc Dalton will be the target starting in the first week of March, and

the campaign against Vernon-Monashee MLA Eric Foster is expected to start the following week, he said.

Fight HST’s successful initiative petition is the

reason the B.C. Liberal Party is choosing a successor to Premier Gordon Campbell, and the message to the new leader will be the same, he said.

Clark has a long road to unity VANCOUVER – Christy Clark spoke

passionately about teamwork, unity and listening in the moments after winning the B.C. Liberal leadership, with 48 per cent of voting members arrayed against her to the end.

“Our government will be stronger because of the dialogue we all started with British Columbians, and we are going to build on that, together,” Clark told a packed convention hall. “We are going to shape the future of B.C., together. We are going to forge a bigger, stronger coalition, together.”

A few minutes later, in the middle of the crowded room, an argument between two men turned into a shoving match that escalated until two others jumped in and separated them.

Outside the convention hall, Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen was clarifying to reporters that he had not said he was quitting the caucus if Clark defeated his choice, George Abbott. Despite his earlier musings about considering his options in a Clark-led caucus, van Dongen was suddenly impressed with the desire of his colleagues to work together and was keen to do the same.

Van Dongen wasn’t the only one shocked at seeing Abbott, the Shuswap MLA and champion of rural B.C., finish third. Kootenay

East MLA Bill Bennett had figured the weighted voting system would give Abbott a good shot at bringing his team of mainly Campbell outsiders into the inner circle. Bennett said he felt “pretty good, for a loser,” and showed a brave smile. His choice is not to leave the caucus, but to come back in, if he is invited.

The next morning, former Reform and Conservative MP Randy White spoke about the Clark win on CFAX radio in Victoria. He’s working to professionalize a moribund B.C. Conservative Party, and he said he watched a surge of people joining that party as soon as Clark’s narrow victory was known.

The B.C. Conservatives will announce new supporters shortly, White said, and people will be surprised. They were not counting on Bennett to be one of those, although White said Bennett told him a month ago he would sign up if Clark won the B.C. Liberal leadership.

White is convinced that Clark’s victory is a “defining moment” for B.C. politics. No longer will be B.C. Liberals be able to tell voters, it’s us or the NDP.

“We’re now acknowledging, and the Liberals are acknowledging that they are a Liberal party,” White said.

During the campaign, Clark blundered about on the harmonized sales tax, the timing of the next election and the government’s ability to cap the rapid growth of health-care spending. She’s fond

of saying she spent the last four

years listening to the people as

a radio host. Apparently that’s

long enough to start believing the

bumper-sticker solutions that are

so often the fodder of talk radio.

There were more hints of this

in her victory speech. Clark’s top

two priorities are “job creation and

fighting poverty.” She’s just won the

leadership of a party that has been

saying for 15 years that government

doesn’t create jobs. And the NDP

continues its own earnest but

mainly fanciful debate about how

poverty can be legislated away by

government intervention, while

trumpeting distorted statistics

about the plight of B.C. children.

If Clark wants to reach out to

conservative-minded voters, she

might start by acknowledging that

the province is currently running

an operating deficit of close to $1

billion, with another year in the red

still to come.

But so far it looks as if she will

tack to the left, and risk making the

B.C. Conservatives’ day.

Christy Clark will definitely be a Vancouver-based premier, as were predecessors Gordon Campbell, Ujjal Dosanjh, Glen Clark and Mike Harcourt. She is likely soon going to be a Vancouver MLA, as it is expected she will run in Campbell’s Vancouver-Point Grey seat. He is expected to resign soon after she is sworn in as his successor.

But her first challenge is to unite her party.

All but one of the six South Fraser Liberal MLAs backed Falcon, who is almost sure to stay in cabinet, likely in a very senior position. We’ve heard finance mentioned repeatedly, and suggestions that he could become the point man for the pro-HST sales force.

He may wish to stay in health, the biggest-spending ministry, where he was prior to the leadership race.

Rich Coleman is sure to stay in cabinet as well. He is one of the most competent ministers and he is very loyal to the party. He is also the current government house leader, in addition to overseeing gambling, housing, policing, ICBC and many other things. He will give Clark’s cabinet some much-needed

stability. Expect leadership candidate Mike de Jong to stay as well in a senior post.

The B.C. Conservative Party may have some new life with Clark’s victory, if she does not keep the coalition united. That could mean more seats in the Fraser Valley could go NDP in the next election. That could be the difference between opposition and government. The Port Mann Bridge toll issue, in particular, has the potential to be a game-changer in many of these seats.

Residents will be anxiously waiting to see what Clark says about things like the Port Mann tolls, transit expansion, schools in fast-growing areas and health services. She doesn’t have much time. Even though a provincial election is theoretically two years away, there are issues like the HST referendum looming.

Clark will find out that being premier is far more challenging that being a talk radio host, or even a cabinet minister. B.C. residents will be watching her closely, none more closely that those living in Fraser Valley communities.

Help the Art Machine win $10,000 by voting daily online

Editor; The StandardThe Art Machine has been

chosen as one of the nominees in the $1,000,000 “Pepsi Refresh Project” and could win as much as $10,000 to support our community arts program. Only 300 proposals were accepted and the Art Machine has made it to the finals. The final winners will be determined by the number of online votes their project receives. The people choose who wins.

You can help The Art Machine to win by voting daily for us online at www.refresheverything.ca . Each person with an email address is allowed to vote. We ask that you vote for only our project “The Art Machine” (under arts and culture) in the $10,000 category. Voting begins on March 1 and ends on April 30 with finalists being announced on May 1. Mark your calendars and be sure to ask all your friends and

relatives across Canada to join in the voting too. Anyone can vote for us. Networking is critical!

The Art Machine is a program operated by the Hope & District Arts Council and is located at 777 - 5th Avenue. The Art Machine provides community arts and crafts programming for people of all ages, backgrounds, income and experience. The majority of attendees are children and seniors. Instruction and

materials are provided at a minimal cost. The program is heavily subsidized and therefore it is necessary for the Hope & District Arts Council to conduct fundraisers and seek funding to support the continuation of this community program.

Federal Conservatives could create jobs with return to ecoo-program

Editor; Black PressIf Prime Minister Stephen

Harper is serious about wanting a low-cost way to create jobs and stimulate the economy, his upcoming budget should act on NDP Leader Jack Layton’s proposal to restore the Conservatives’ ecoENERGY Retrofit program.

The ecoENERGY program is a no-risk investment for the federal government. It generates more tax revenue

than it costs in incentives. It only pays those incentives to homeowners after jobs are created and retrofit work is completed.

Best of all, it creates thousands of jobs across the country.

The Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI), representing 1,300 companies, has already asked Mr. Harper to restore the ecoENERGY program.

According to HRAI’s calculations, a $1 billion federal ecoENERGY program, with matching grants from the provinces, could create 350,000 person-years of employment and generate total government revenue of $5 billion.

Clearly, a restored ecoENERGY program is a highly effective way to improve Canada’s economy. When homeowners make

energy-saving renovations, they lower their energy bills, create local jobs, and free up cash for more consumer spending.

A government serious about low-cost job creation and economic stimulus should restore the ecoENERGY program in the upcoming federal budget.

Christy Clark’s philosophy of inclusiveness applauded

Editor: Black PressI think it’s important to

remind ourselves of the state of our electoral system today.

It was expressed succinctly during our last provincial election and referendum on electoral reform in the words of our now-to-be premier, Christy Clark.

Quote: “On Tuesday you will have two choices to make. The

first is a short-term choice … of who will run our system for the next four years, and you will vote for someone who has been chosen for you by entrenched interests in a big party machine. People who will be accountable to that big party machine, not to you.

“The other vote that you will cast will be the much more important one. It will be

the vote that determines if the next time you … will be faced with exactly the same ugly choices.

“We have a chance to change our political system and remake it into something that we can have some measure of faith in. And if the established interests succeed in defeating this on Tuesday, they will not give you another chance. I

hope British Columbians take this chance. This is the chance for real change. I hope that you will join me on Tuesday in voting in favour of the single transferable vote.”

Let’s hope her philosophy of inclusiveness includes being our electoral reform champion.

Policing prioritized over people is wrongEditor: The StandardMore money is being

spent on police services even though crime has dropped in many areas, and in a few municipalities crime has increased regardless of the millions thrown at

failing approaches, with the consequences of these policies being felt most by low-income families.

With a new Premier the focus should be on effective leadership, it’s time for our elected officials to realize that creating educated,

economically sustainable, healthy families and therefor communities, is a better investment in our Province and country’s future than more prisons and more police.

Low-income families and children are bearing the brunt of misguided policies that

have led to an over investment in policing. By shifting our priorities, we can reduce these disproportionate impacts and make a real difference, especially for our Province’s children and families.

Shakespeare’s Tempest Returns to UFV Stage

This year’s Shakespeare production will be The Tempest, the final work of genius from the world’s greatest playwright. In The Tempest, Prospero, a brooding Renaissance Magus, is marooned on a remote island with his young daughter Miranda. Banished by his usurping brother from his rightful position as the Duke of Milan, he awaits the right planetary conjunction to work his magnum opus and gain his revenge. Aided by his mercurial servant Ariel but stymied by the brutish monster Caliban, Prospero is a man with a mission. Combining romance, comedy and spectacle, The Tempest is truly ” the stuff that dreams are made on.”

This will be the department’s second production of The Tempest, the first being staged in March 1995, as the first Shakespeare production in our then brand new theatre complex. That production

was directed by Dr. Bruce Kirkley, who will also direct this year’s production. Casting for The Tempest is as follows: The role of Prospero will be played by Glen Pinchin. Glen has appeared in several roles for the department, his most recent being Colonel Burnett in School House during November, 2009. Danielle Warmenhoven makes her debut for the department as Prospero’s daughter, Miranda. Catrina Lewis, recently seen as Tintabula in A Funny Thing Happened on The Way to The Forum, takes the role of Ariel and Gabe Kirkley, who played Miles Gloriosus in that production, is Caliban. Other performers, some playing multiple roles include: Natasha Beaumont, Dylan Coulter, J.D. Dueckman, Kyra Essau, Aaron Froc, Eli Funk, Melissa Harris, Tim Howe, Ron Jackson, Rebecca Mackenzie, Danielle Milette, Natasha Ray, Thomas Smith, and Dayna Thomas.

Set Design for The Tempest is by Astrid Beugeling with costume design by Heather Robertson , and lighting design by Bruce Kirkley and Mark Sutherland. Stage manager is Kat Beswick.

The Tempest opens Friday, March 11 in the theatre on the Chilliwack campus and runs March 12, 17,18,19,24,25,26 at 7.30 pm. with a half price preview March 10 at 7.30 pm. and matinees Sunday March 20 and 27 at 2pm. and Wednesday, March 9, Monday, March 14 and Tuesday, March 15 at 12: noon. The Sunday, March 20 matinee is a pay-what-you-can event, with a minimum recommended price of only $8. General ticket prices for this production range between $13 to $16.

Number of professional days not changingA motion to pass afternoon

professional development time for teachers does mean there will be fewer Pro D days for students, Dr. Karen Nelson, Superintendent of Schools said. The Hope Standard reported last week on a recent motion by School District 78 that states in part that: “It is recommended that: The Board of Education for School District No. 78 (Fraser-Cascade)

approve 10 to 12 hours of after-school Pro-D sessions in lieu of two Professional Development days during the 2011-2012 school year.”

That does not mean the two professional days will still not be held, Dr. Nelson said.

The motion was passed at the February 8 board meeting.

The Hope Standard apologizes for any confusion related to this error.

Mountain Film Fest returns to HopeThe Vancouver International Mountain

Film Festival (VIMFF) is returning to the Hope Cinema on Thursday, March 3rd. Moviegoers will be treated to several short films spanning mountain sports, culture and environment.

“This event draws a big local crowd”, says program director Kelly Pearce, “but at least a quarter of the audience comes from Chilliwack, Agassiz, and as far away as Vancouver.”

The Hope Mountain Centre is once again hosting the popular event, and advanced tickets are available at the Blue Moose, Cheyenne Sports, Pharmasave, UFV Hope campus, the Hope Visitor Centre, Hope Cinema, and Pages Book Store.

Ted and Marion Outerbridge have taken the art of illusion to new heights.SUBMITTED

Mind-bending magic coming to Chilliwack

From the minds of Canada’s most popular touring illusionists comes a brand new show: Outerbridge – The Time Capsule Tour.

Ted and Marion Outerbridge have taken the art of illusion to new heights by combining it with dance, theatre, and day-to-day life. Audiences of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre will be awestruck on Saturday, March 19 at 8 p.m. when levitations and disappearances take place right before their eyes.

As the recent recipient of the prestigious award, BC Touring Council’s 2010 Touring Artist of the Year, the Outerbridges have definitely earned the title as Canada’s foremost illusionist duo. Their exhilarating

performance comes to Chilliwack for one-night only, so be sure to call the Centre Box Office today at 604.391.SHOW and secure your tickets to an evening of wonder and utter excitement.

One of the highlights of The Time Capsule Tour is the prediction of the contents in a time capsule currently on display in the Culture Centre’s lobby.

Ask yourself, “What would you put in a time capsule?”

The Outerbridges have already predicted what audience members would say they would put into a time capsule and have locked their predictions into a metal chest. The locked time capsule chest was shipped to the Cultural

Centre several months prior to the performance. On March 19 at 8pm, randomly-selected audience members decide what items the time capsule should contain. Will the contents match when the time capsule is opened?

“I like to create a sense of wonder, give people goose bumps and move them with my magic,” says Ted Outerbridge, life-long career magician.

On March 19, indulge your senses with Outerbridge - The Time Capsule Tour and see time bent right before your eyes. Purchase your tickets by calling the Centre Box Office at 604-391-SHOW(7469).

Tickets are also available online at www.chilliwackcul-turalcentre.ca.

MON. MAR.7By Sheila BusteedTV Media

GOING FOR GAGS: With news of controversial trades, doping charges, dome cave-ins and athletes with scandalous personal lives fill-ing the sports section, it was only a matter of time before the comedy world started poking fun.

And who better for such a job than famed comedian and writer Norm MacDonald.

Known for his deadpan delivery and willingness to cross lines into sensitive territory, MacDonald’s es-tablished style will undoubtedly be the draw for “Sports Show With Norm MacDonald,” a new series that has been picked up by Comedy Central.

The network has already signed on for eight episodes of the show, which has been described as the sports version of “The Daily Show.” It’s scheduled to premiere in April.

The cabler has stated in releases that fans will likely draw compari-sons to “Saturday Night Live’s Weekend Update,” which MacDon-ald previously anchored. The style will be similar, with MacDonald re-marking on popular and controver-sial sports stories from around the world. Even the most obscure sports won’t be safe from MacDonald’s biting remarks.

“Norm has the uncanny ability to say what I didn’t even realize I was thinking,” said Comedy Central’s Kent Alterman.

For fans who can’t wait until the spring to get a taste of Norm’s hu-morous side, the network will be premiering his new special, “Norm MacDonald: Me Doing Stand-Up,” on Saturday, March 12.

“Sports Show With Norm Mac-Donald” isn’t Comedy Cen-tral’s first entry into the sports-mockery game. The network launched “Onion SportsDome” earlier this year, a series made in conjunction with the satirical news website TheOnion.com.

‘HOUSE’ RINGS IN BELL: Ac-tress Kirsten Bell will soon be seen flexing her comedic muscles along-side another acclaimed star, Don Cheadle.

Showtime’s upcoming pilot for the dark comedy “House of Lies” will star Bell as Jeannie Van Der Hooven, who works with Cheadle’s character, Marty Kaan, at a manage-ment consulting firm.

According to a release, Jeannie has an Ivy League education and will offer intelligent and biting hu-mour to the show.

Best known for her dramatic work as the title character in “Ve-ronica Mars” and as Elle Bishop in “Heroes,” Bell has more recently been experimenting in the comedic genre with roles in such rom-com flicks as “Forgetting Sarah Mar-shall” (2008), “Couples Retreat” (2009), “You Again” (2010) and “When in Rome” (2010).

She also dazzled audiences in re-cent months when she starred alongside Cher and Christina Aguil-era in the dramatic musical “Bur-lesque.”

Cheadle and Bell’s other previ-ously announced castmates include Dawn Oliveri (“Heroes”), Josh Law-son (“Romantically Challenged”) and Ben Schwartz (“Undercovers”) as the other member’s of Marty’s corporate team. Glynn Turman (“In Treatment”) will portray Marty’s fa-ther while Donis Leonard Jr. (“The Fresh Beat Band”) will play his young son.

The half-hour comedy is being written and executive produced by Matthew Carnahan, who previously helmed FX’s “Dirt.” The series is based on Martin Kihn’s tell-all book, “House of Lies: How Management Consultants Steal Your Watch and Tell You the Time.”

Carnahan will have some tal-ented help with him behind the scenes. Jessika Borsiczky (“FlashForward”) will serve as another executive produc-er. The pilot episode itself will

be directed by Ste-phen Hopkins,

who previ-ously di-rected “24” and “Califor-nica-tion.”

The Next Three DaysLife seems perfect for John Brennan until his wife, Lara, is arrested for a gruesome mur-der she says she didn’t commit. Struggling to hold his family together, he tries to prove her innocence. When her final legal appeal is rejected, Lara becomes suicidal and John decides there is only one possi-ble solution: to break his wife out of prison. Refusing to be deterred by impossible odds, John devises an elaborate escape plot and plunges into a dangerous and unfamiliar world -- ultimately risking everything for the woman he loves.Director: Paul Haggis. Stars: Russell Crowe, Elizabeth Banks, Liam Neeson, Olivia Wilde, Brian Dennehy, Jonathan Tucker, Jason Beghe, RZA, Lennie James, Moran Atias. 2010, 100 mins., action.

Morning GloryWhen hard-working TV produc-er Becky Fuller is fired from a local news program, her career begins to look as bleak as her hapless love life. Stumbling into a job at “Daybreak” (the last-place national morning news show), Becky decides to revitalize the show by bringing on legendary TV anchor Mike Pomeroy. Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning-show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fash-ion and crafts, let alone work with his new co-host, Colleen Peck, a former beauty queen and longtime morning-show personality. As Mike and Colleen clash, first behind the scenes and eventually on the air, Becky’s blossoming love affair with fellow producer Adam Bennett begins to unrav-el. Soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her repu-tation, her job and ultimately, the show itself.Director: Roger Michell.

Fifty two young racers, ages 5 – 11, made it out to Manning Park for the ‘Nancy Greene’ Coastal Zone race, on Sunday.SUBMITTED

Simone RolphThe Hope Standard

Despite the snowstorm on Sunday, 52 young racers, ages 5 – 11, managed to make it out to Manning Park for the ‘Nancy Greene’ Coastal Zone race.

Young skiers from Manning, Hemlock Valley, Seymour and Grouse along with their coaches and families all hit the slopes to have fun, build on their skills, and participate in some great racing.

“Hosting and sponsoring this event for the Manning Ski Club has meant a great deal for our club,” said executive member, Jeff Irwin. “This club has grown and developed over the last few years providing the opportunity for children to learn and grow in a fantastic winter sport.

“This was in fact the vision Nancy Greene had after she had won her Olympic Gold Medal in the sixties. The Manning Ski Club along with ski clubs at virtually every mountain across Canada now provide the foundation skills from which all world class skiers in Canada have previously participated in.

“It has been approximately 20 years since the last zone ski race was held at Manning and it was a goal of ours to bring these races back to Manning. By doing so we not only promote the Mountain Resort but we provide our kids with the opportunity to race and have fun with kids from the other mountains who are also learning the same skills.

“Of course with all the organization that goes into hosting a race the one element that is out of our control is the weather and Sunday provided quite a test for our organization and to all the volunteers that make this happen,” added Irwin.

“We had one of those winter powder

days everyone always dreams of getting to the ski hill but for a ski race it means everyone has to work harder to keep the course in a clear condition for all the skiers,” added Irwin.

“Our volunteers for this day were amazing as they all battled an endless snow storm and pulled off a well run race…. The visiting mountain teams were especially impressed and indicated that this was the first time many of them have been to Manning and they would definitely be coming back.”

In the E1 category, aged 5 – 8, four race teams were fielded including a joint Manning/Seymour team, a Hemlock team and two Grouse Mountain teams.

The Grouse Tyee ‘Screaming Eagles’ team took first place with the combined Manning/Seymour team coming in second. Hemlock Mountain finished third and the second team from Grouse Mountain finished fourth.

Manning Ski Club racers included Jeremy Preston from Hope; Kalea Richardson; Hope, Sam Petrina; Vancouver, Jonathon Hinton; Vancouver, Darby Link; Hope, and Tyler Hampel, of Abbotsford.

In the E2 category, ages 9 – 11, Manning skier Amber Feaver, of Chilliwack, took first place for nine-year-old girls and Ethan Hampel, from Abbotsford, placed second for nine-year-old boys. In the 10-year-old girls category, Emma Link, of Hope, placed fifth.

In the 11-year-old girls category “the podium was dominated by Manning skiers,” adds Irwin. Charlotte Pavelick, from White Rock, placed first, Sarah Irwin, of Hope, placed second and Georgia Petrina, of Vancouver, placed third.

“In the boys 11-year-old category we had Manning skiers Evan Durrant, from

Young racers polish their skills at Manning“It has been

approximately 20 years since the last zone ski race was held at Manning and

it was a goal of ours to bring these races back to

Manning.

Langley, placing first and Nicholas Cimbaro, of Princeton, placing second,” added Irwin.

The main race was sponsored by Rio Tinto, Alcan and BC Alpine,

and at the “local level we are supported by the Manning Park Resort,” added Irwin. “In addition George Preston of Hope partnered with ICBC and the Hope Crime

Prevention Society to set up a speed trap for the kids…. All skiers had the chance to go for their top speed on a steeper section of the mountain.”

T w e n t y - t h r e e foursomes will be heading to Hope this weekend for the annual Mixed Bonspiel, which starts on Friday evening at 5:00. The visiting teams will join seven local rinks for the final spiel of the local season.

Roman Petryk, who has been the club’s ice maker for the last 27 years, said 32 teams would have been ideal for a four-sheet event but he had to cut off registration by Monday to get the draw made up.

“Most of our teams are coming from down the valley,” said Petryk. “There’s only one rink from Chilliwack. The others are from Delta, Surrey and Vancouver. There are lots of first-time teams but others are coming back because they’ve had a good time in Hope before.”

The last draws on Friday and Saturday nights start at 11:00 and the championship finals commence at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday. The public is welcome to check out the action, with no cost for admission.

Petryk and club president Galen Toy will both be competing on the weekend. Toy said on Monday that the club will have one more week of league play following the bonspiel, then the ice plant will be shut down and the ice removed until next fall.

“We usually do a little event upstairs to wrap up the league and hand out trophies to the winning teams from the Men’s, Ladies and Mixed leagues,” said Toy.

“We’ll also be having our annual ‘Franco’s Spring Fling’ dance on Saturday, April 16th, in memory of our former member, Franco Talarico,” he added. It’s a fundraiser for the club and it runs from 9:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. Music is by Appaloosa, the same band we’ve had for the last two years. Doors open at 8:00.”

Tickets are available

for $15 at various businesses around town, including Toy’s Pharmacy. Proceeds help defray the cost of repairs and maintenance to the building and ice plant, said Toy.

While the Hope ice won’t make it past mid-March, one local player will be sweeping well into April, at the Canadian Firefighters Curling Championship in Calgary. Doug Marshall — who was a career firefighter

in North Vancouver — joined a group of Victoria-based firemen, who curled their way to the top of the B.C. event. The Brad Clarke rink, with Marshall playing third, will travel to Calgary for the national championships, March 31 to April 10.

Hope’s squad of John Linza, Evan Empey, Tom DeSorcy and skip, Al Trick placed sixth in the province this year, with a 2-and-2 record.

“They held it at the

Tunnel Town Curling Club in Tsawwassen this year,” said DeSorcy, Fire Chief for the District of Hope. “There were 28 teams, curling on six sheets. We won our first two, then lost our next two and we were out.”

Hope has hosted the B.C. event several times and when they were hosts in 2005, the local rink ended up as winners.

“Al Trick, Don Druet, Glenn Wejr and myself went to the Nationals,

which were hosted in Yellowknife that year,” said DeSorcy. “We came third overall.

“It was really well organized,” he added. “We had a driver that drove us around town and we were piped onto the ice for every draw. It was quite an experience!”
