Waterworks user fume over planned rate increase
Smoke from wildfires burning in northern Washington State blew into Hope over the weekend, prompting air quality advisories throughout the eastern Fraser Valley, and gen-erating eerie sunsets like the one captured here by Will Brandt. Shifting winds helped push smoke out of the region on Tuesday, ending the air quality advisory.

Local 753 Waterworks Ltd. us-ers are outraged this week with the advent of a letter written on behalf of the water distribution company for an application to increase utility costs.
Th e initial letter gave Hope resi-dents dependent on the system two weeks to respond, further fueling the fi re, and adding insult to injury according to protesting voices, who fl ooded the Hope Standard with con-cerns, calls, and letters to the editor.
Th e 753 Waterworks Ltd. letter
states to users that funds are needed for further repairs and upgrading to a system that has been degraded over the years. Th e request has arrived on the back of a recent application on behalf of the company that included a 300 per cent increase just over a year ago.
“It is required to fund the short-fall in funding to put in a new well at an estimated cost of $190,000 and the amount of funding available in the utility’s replacement reserve ac-counts. Th e new well at a greater depth of 140 feet compared to the old well at 100 feet is required be-
cause the water reserve is not fi lling at levels high enough for the old well to effi ciently access the water,” stated the original letter draft ed and signed by Neil Murphy of 753 Waterworks Ltd.
Th e increase stipulates that the current fee of $30 a month will be in-creased to $50 a month on Septem-ber 1, including an additional levy of $190 per month for three consecu-tive months for a total of $570 per household.
“Th is is ridiculous,” said Dale Kjemhus, current 753 water user. “Th ey wait until the equipment is
totally outdated and the situation is desperate and then they want the cli-ent to bale them out.”
Concerns over paying to a com-pany that has recently been assisted by the District of Hope, has users wondering why they are paying into 753 when the District is still needed to facilitate proper water fl ow by sup-plying the emergency hook up.
“Perhaps the system should just be turned over to the District of Hope,” said Kjemhus.
Mayor Wilfried Vicktor respond-ed on behalf of the District, which

B.C. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett is spending this week in Alaska, his second trip this year to work out a formal agree-ment on mine regulation between the state and the province.
Bennett has meetings lined up with Alaska conservation groups, state legislators, com-mercial fi shing represen-tatives and Alaska Gov-ernor Bill Walker. With major mine projects proposed on both sides of the border and con-tinued public concern in the wake of last year’s Mount Polley tailings dam collapse near Ques-nel, Bennett is hoping to
have an agreement ready for Walker and Premier Christy Clark to sign later this year.
Several B.C. mine projects have opened or received permits to pro-ceed this year in north-west B.C., where salm-on-bearing river systems extend across the Alaska panhandle to the Pacifi c Ocean.
Two of those mines are just north of Stewart B.C. and Hyder, Alaska near the Unuk River, which fl ows into Ton-gass National Forest in Alaska. Brucejack Mine is an underground proj-ect expected to proceed with construction this year. Its tailings are to be returned to the mine shaft , reducing concern
about environmental impact.
Near Brucejack is the KSM Mine, one of the largest copper and gold ore deposits in the world. It was given B.C. permits last year for a design that includes open pits and a pair of tunnels to carry ore 23 km away for pro-cessing.
Bennett plans to fl y into the Taku River re-gion, where B.C. has issued permits for the Tulsequah Chief mine south of Atlin. It also plans a tailings storage site to restart mining on two ore deposits that were previously mined in the 1950s.
“We’re going to meet
with dozens of diff erent interests and people, do a lot of listening, but also make sure that Alaskans become a bit more aware of how much access their government has to our processes in B.C.,” Bennett said.
Th e Alaska govern-ment participated in the approvals for KSM and others, but many state residents aren’t aware of that, he said.
Many Alaskans are aware of the Mount Pol-ley situation, where re-covery work continues a year aft er millions of tonnes of mine waste poured into Quesnel Lake.

There has been much in the news lately about marijuana and whether it truly helps certain medical conditions. The U.S. government granted permission to 10 centres to run trials on cannabidiol, a liquid extract of marijuana that has no psychoactive properties but may have some anticonvulsant properties for people with epilepsy. Preliminary results showed a 46% reduction in total seizures. More studies will be carried out to see if these results are reproducible.
Diabetics who inject insulin are reminded to rotate their injection sites regularly. Injecting into the same area all the time can develop
fatty scar tissue. Also if you need more insulin than your pen or syringe can hold, do two separate injections rather than keeping the needle in while you measure out the rest of the dose.
Cilia are hair-like structures in the inner ear whose job it is to convert sound waves into electrical signals sent to the brain. These hairs are very fragile and can be damaged irreversibly by continuous loud sounds. Using ear buds can contribute to this damage if the volume is too high. You should be able to carry on a conversation with someone nearby while listening. If not, it’s too loud.
Pharmacists and doctors use the term “blood thinners” when describing certain drugs like warfarin. These drugs don’t actually “thin the blood”, but rather keep harmful clots from forming in the blood vessels . They do it by blocking the activity of vitamin K in the body. This vitamin is important in blood clotting.
Sometimes, simple words are used to explain complex situations. We try to answer your questions in an easily understood manner. It’s our job as your pharmacist.

Coroners service hopes to solve Boston Bar mysteryTh e BC Coroners Service is
requesting the public’s assis-tance to identify a male who was found deceased near Bos-ton Bar 25 years ago.
Th e Identifi cation and Disas-ter Response Unit of the Coro-ners Service continues to work to identify a number of cold cases involving previously un-identifi ed remains.
Th is is the case of a white male who was found in a re-mote forested area near North Bend (across the river from Boston Bar) in December 1989. He was likely between 30 and 40 years old, balding with short, dark brown hair and a trimmed moustache. He was about 170cm (5’7”) tall, and 75kg (165lbs) in weight, with
a medium build and fair com-plexion. He had a small scar be-low his right knee and a partial upper denture. He was wear-ing a blue and white ski jacket, blue sweater, dress shirt, dark grey dress pants and new Ox-ford-type shoes. He also wore a hand-tooled leather belt with an elaborate design.
Glasses were found nearby
which indicated near-sight-edness and high astigmatism. Th ere were some British coins in his personal eff ects, indicat-ing that he may have been from the UK or had recently visited there.
If you have information re-garding the identity of this per-son, contact the BC Coroners Service at 604 660-2556.
An artist’s reconstruction of this male and details of the belt design can be found on the BC Coroners website at: www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/coroners/unidenti-fi ed-cases/1989-0516-0009.htm
Th e Coroners Service notes that the facial reconstruction was completed by a forensic artist and should not be consid-ered an exact likeness.
Body of man found 25 years ago still unidentified
has no current plans to take over the 753 Waterworks system, citing that bailing out a private company for poor maintenance practices, or covering for a provincial regu-latory authority is not a good fi s-cal move.
“Th e hook up was not intended to bale out 753 indefi nitely,” said Vicktor. “A letter to the Water Comptroller indicating a strong
opposition to the high increase in fees will be draft ed, as well as a strong request for accounting as to where the reserve funds have gone to, and to ascertain what the prov-ince has done to properly oversee the maintenance of the system.”
A second letter has since been draft ed by 753 to customers, ex-tending the deadline to 30 days from the original date of Septem-ber 1.
“We cannot understand or ac-cept the proposed special levy over and above the rate increase — if the levy included the month-ly rate, perhaps they could make a case, but$190 a month, out of nowhere for three months is ri-diculous and obscene,” said Don Boxall, a current customer of 753 Waterworks.

Election 2015: Politicians make pitch to parentsBy Tom FletcherBlack Press
Parents are spending the money and feeling the love like never before from parties contesting the Oct. 19 federal elec-tion.
Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper expanded his favoured approach
of direct payments, in-creasing the Conserva-tive government’s child care benefi t plan that has been compared to the former Family Allow-ance.
Th e increase was set up to produce bonus cheques to eligible par-ents in July, retroactive to the start of the year.
Payments went up from $100 to $160 a month for each child under six, with a new $60 payment for those aged seven to 17, payable to families regardless of income or method of child care.
Liberal leader Justin Trudeau responded by promising a modifi ed version that would phase
out the benefi t for high-income families and in-crease payments for the rest.
Building into its cal-culations a proposed in-come tax cut for middle and low-income people, the party estimates a two-parent family with an income of $90,0000 and two children would
receive $490 a month tax free, compared to the Conservative program of $275 a month aft er taxes.
Th e Liberals calculate that a single parent with $30,000 income and
one child would receive $533 a month, up from $440 under Conserva-tive child benefi t and tax rules.
NDP leader Th omas Mulcair has off ered to retain the Conservative
payments and expand Quebec’s subsidized daycare program across the country, with a max-imum payment of $15 a day and a long-term goal of creating one million new spaces across the country.
Mulcair has said the Quebec program al-lowed 70,000 mothers to return to the workforce, and the NDP program would be available to private daycare opera-tors as long as they are independent and not “big box” operations.
Green Party leader Elizabeth May is also off ering a universal federally-funded child care program, including support for workplace daycare through a direct tax credit to employers of $1,500 a year.
Th e Green Party also wants to appoint a na-tional children’s com-missioner to advise gov-ernment on policy.
Gina Narvaez, center, reads a Blues Clues book to her daycare children Frida before breakfast. Narvaez, a home child care provider, is one of 15 providers that the child development center has, which is currently at a critical shortage. The maximum capacity of home child care providers is currently 30.

THE HOODLUMS
By Donald StokesSpecial to The Standard
With milder weather providing a nice re-prieve from what has been a dry summer, Hope recently played host to Th e Great Fra-ser River Salmon BBQ Competition 2015.
Th e event, which was accompanied by a steady drum of warm rain, saw the com-ing together of eight teams out of a possible ten. A successful fi rst trial, the BBQ went smoothly, regardless of a few bumps here and there.
“It had laughs, and a few twists and turns with lots of fun to be had by all,” said Donald Stokes, event-coordinator and conceptualist.“Th ere was a mix of BBQ and smoke teams that saw a variety of back-grounds, ranging from competitive BBQ enthusiasts, to backyard chefs, to the more traditional aboriginal smoked salmon play-ers.”
Off ering a wide selection of the fi nest salmon BBQ to be tasted by all, quality pieces of the native fi sh were in high quan-tity and demand, off ering a rare treat for all salmon lovers who attended.
“Th is proved to be the fi rst of what is hoped to be an annual event, hosted in part by the Hope Lions Club, with funds raised going toward local projects and the conser-vation of the Fraser River and its salmon,” said Stokes.
Winners of the BBQ portion of the com-
petition were as follows: SeaBilly from Co-quitlam (fi rst place,) Mad Cow from Lang-ley (second place) and Bad Ass BBQ from North Vancouver (third place.)
From the Hot Smoked section, Mad Cow (fi rst place,) AB-Original Foods from Bos-ton Bar/ Hope (second place,) and the Ro-tary Roasters from Hope (third place.)
Th e People’s Choice went to Bad Ass
BBQ for their BBQ submission and the Campbell brothers from Hope won the smoked category.
For more information about the event or the winners listed please visit Th e Great Fraser River Salmon BBQ Competition Facebook page, or contact Donald Stokes at 604-860-9031.

September Hope Arts Gallery Backroom exhibitLena YacyshenSummer Student
Potpourri is the new exhibit at the Hope Arts Gallery featuring the work of local artists Janet Rigby and Robbie Weir. Th e exhibit will run September 1 to 28 and the opening recep-tion will be on Th urs-day, September 10 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Janet has a great love of the outdoors and it shows in her artwork. Her paintings and pho-tography oft en depict beautiful landscapes or scenes of people en-joying outdoor leisure time around Hope. Ja-net knew she wanted to retire in Hope when she discovered there were art classes of-fered. She has been a keen participant at the Art Machine for many years, as it challenges her, and helps her to maintain momentum with her work.
Robbie primar-ily works as an acrylic painter, but is also fond of water colours. Like Janet, she gravitates to outdoor landscapes but also loves to depict wildlife. Her work is
bold and bursting with colour and dimension. Robbie is mainly self taught, but has been a participant at the Art Machine since 2011.
Both artists love this community and the opportunity to be in-volved with the local arts scene here in Hope. Please support the art-ists and community arts programming in our town by visiting the Hope Arts Gallery.
Th e Hope Arts Gal-lery is part of local arts and cultural program-ming under the Hope & District Arts Council and is operated by vol-unteers. Th e Hope Arts Gallery, located at 349 Fort Street, Hope B.C. is open Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 pm. For more infor-mation please contact us at 604-869-3400 or [email protected]

With more time, will more voters care?
Several readers took me to task for last week’s commentary on the beginning of our long, hot federal election campaign.
Th ey pointed out, among other things, that there are substantial cost increases to Elections Cana-da as well as higher spending lim-its for the parties. And thanks to generous tax deductions for po-litical donations, taxpayers sub-sidize all party spending whether they want to or not.
Th at’s the system as it is today, so rather than rail against it, it seems more useful to ask what we’re getting for our forced in-vestment in this exercise.
First, more leader debates. Th e traditional main event organized
by TV networks for Oct. 8 ap-pears to be a bust, with only Lib-eral leader Justin Trudeau and Green Party leader Elizabeth May expected to attend. Conservative leader Stephen Harper declined, prompting NDP leader Th om-as Mulcair to say he will only take part in debates that include Harper.
Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have agreed to a Sept. 17 debate hosted by Th e Globe and Mail and Google Canada. Th is one is to be focused on the economy, which should force participants to get beyond their talking points and pointing fi ngers.
On Sept. 28 there will be a debate focused on foreign pol-icy hosted by Munk Debates, a charitable foundation. Harper, Trudeau and Mulcair have ac-cepted. May and Bloc Quebecois leader Gilles Duceppe were not invited to either of these.
Th e national media have decid-ed that the biggest issue currently is the trial of suspended senator Mike Duff y, but this has turned out to be a rehash of facts and as-sertions heard many times over by those who care.
Th e expense account abuse has pushed the issue of senate reform to the forefront. Harper declared his intention to starve the Senate by refusing any more appoint-ments, aft er most provinces ig-nored his call to elect their nomi-nees.
Trudeau, having expelled all Liberal senators from the party caucus, has warned that Harper’s plan and Mulcair’s long-standing position to abolish the Senate are both unworkable, if not unconsti-tutional. Trudeau has promised changes to the senate appoint-ment process, but no specifi cs so far.
Party policies are being doled
out one bit at a time, and the national and local candidate de-bates may help clarify them. Here are a couple that could use closer scrutiny.
Harper has promised to re-vive a stimulus program from the 2009 economic crisis, off er-ing a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000. Th is sounds great if you’re a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up the cost of housing in already overpriced urban markets and encourages more consumer debt.
Trudeau has promised an addi-tional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on re-serves, and accelerated spending on school infrastructure.
Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal wom-en. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conserva-
tive moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67.
All of these promises are pre-sented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation trade-off s that the parties would prefer not to discuss.
Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretch-ing more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment.

Summer reminderEveryone can be part of the solution to end the scourge of
impaired drivingSummer is still in full swing, the patios are packed with
people enjoying a cold one and backyard barbecues and pic-nics abound.
Unfortunately, summer holidays, sunshine and high tem-peratures can combine to concoct a deadly cocktail of people drinking and driving.
RCMP hold roadblocks and police the roads best they can, but we all need to do our part to end drunk driving.
Only a concerted eff ort will drive the message home that we need to put the brakes on drinking and driving for good.
If you know your circumstances may include a couple of drinks, take the time to arrange a ride home or ensure you have a designated driver.
It’s much easier to take the time and plan ahead, compared to what you will deal with if you drink and get behind the wheel. It can save your life, the lives of those you love or the lives of innocent others.
One bad decision can leave scars that never heal and a trail of shattered lives ruined by a booze-fuelled lapse in judgment.
You can be part of the solution by letting the police know if you see someone who is drinking and driving.
While programs like drinking and driving Counter Attack and media coverage have resulted in a reduction in impaired driving off ences, the sad reality is there are still people out there who just don’t get it.
So please, enjoy your summer and help spread the word that there are more than just the RCMP watching.

Th e increase in monthly water fees in 2014, from $13.00 to $30.00 per month, (130 %) may have seemed excessive, but a further application being pre-sented for an increase from $30.00. to $50.00 per month, (a further 66%) seems exorbitant. Not to mention the sur-charge of $570. per user.
However, we may well look at the other
side of the coin. I have heard fi gures from 192 to 300 users on the 753 water system at the present time. If you al-low for 200 households that actually pay their water bill, that amounts to $72,000. per year. If the hydro bill for 753 is $200. per month (I`m sure it is higher), that uses their fi rst $2,400., leaving approximately $70,000. to operate the
system. If one person, with one dedicated truck, was able to do in-voicing, collections, ac-counting, weekly water samples, fi le provincial reports, trouble shoot water leaks, check the pumphouse and reser-voir, do the water shut-off s and turn-ons, and any other small func-tions, then that would more then use up the other $70,000. Th is
would leave nothing for general maintenance, minor repairs, pump replacement, or capital expenditures for im-provements.
I do not feel that mis-management on their part should result in emergency water ra-tioning and fi nancial hardship for the users. I do feel that it is in our best interest to keep the water system stable and
healthy for the most reasonable costs at this time. I further believe that we should petition Th e District of Hope to open negotiations with 753 Water, to purchase the system and amal-gamate it with their own, bringing our water rates in line with the rest of the District.
Ray GreenMallard Drive
Apparently 753 Waterworks Ltd. has applied for another increase in utility costs. Th ey have asked for input, but it is interesting to note that the in-crease is set for September 1 2015, giving only a couple of weeks for people to respond.
It would appear that this rate increase is a forgone con-clusion.
I wrote in complaining the last time that 753 Water-works applied for a 300 per cent increase — they stated they needed funds for up-grading and repairs. I felt, that as a good manager, monies should have been put aside for these obvious upcoming
repairs that would be required over the years. Instead, they just keep going to the trough and having the home owners cough up the money.
Th is last rate increase was just in the past year or so. I heard nothing back from the Deputy Comptroller of Water Rights and the increase was just implemented.
Now 753 Waterworks is again stating they need money and want an increase from $30 a month to $50 a month by September 1, 2015. Th ey also want an additional levy of $190 per month for three months, or a total of $570 per household.
Th is is ridiculous. 753 Wa-terworks takes our money and appear to make no eff ort to set aside monies for necessary repairs. Th ey wait until the equipment is totally outdated and the situation is desperate and then they just demand more money from the client.
Where is the responsibility on this company to keep the equipment updated instead of just pocketing all of the income? Why is their lack of management my responsibil-ity to fi x?
I am stilly paying 753 Wa-terworks monthly but now understand the District of Hope is actually supplying the
water. Th ey are still being paid and are not even supplying the product.
Perhaps a better scenario is that the Waterworks just be turned over to the District of Hope.
I assume the government agency will just hand over our money rather then hold this management group respon-sible for the upkeep on its equipment. I can only assume that is the reason we received so little notice and there is no mention of any public consul-tation.

I had an opportunity to hang out at the emer-gency ward in Hope Hospital last Saturday. I was very grateful for this opportunity.
I could not have been more pleased. Th e en-tire staff were very pleasant, knowledgeable, gracious and effi cient. So hats off to people working in potentially stressful situations, who are prepared to retain their sense of humor and show kindness while being effi cient.
Th e management at the hospital should be congratulated on a style that leaves the front line people able to function this well, while pro-viding a great service.
HATS OFF!

Conservative supporters just ‘stirring the pot’
Th ere has been some discussion in Hope recently about whether or not the Federal NDP has the right to put up Seonaigh MacPherson election signs. I am the sign Chairman for the Seonaigh MacPherson campaign.
Th ere apparently was one phone call from a well-known Conservative to town hall questioning the legality of these NDP signs.
I called and spoke to the bylaw en-forcement offi cer for the town and was assured that it is perfectly legal. He stated that the existing bylaw was intended to control the proliferation of signs during municipal campaigns.
He told me “not to worry” as we are perfectly within our rights to put up larger signs on public property. Th e same goes of course for the other political parties, so long as they don’t obscure the signs from other parties.
It is common in these campaigns for Conservative supporters to “stir the pot” and to attempt to discredit the NDP, especially when they know that Seonaigh MacPherson has a good chance of winning this campaign.

By Erin KnutsonThe Standard
Tony Pavick started with Weight Watch-ers over 20 years ago in Kamloops, aft er fi nding out he was borderline diabetic. Th at was the moment – the impe-tus for change – that pushed him out of a self/life imposed inertia and into a momentum that helped him turn his life around.
“I struggled with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD,) knee pain and back pain,” the kilt-wearing Pittsburg na-tive who now resides in Hope, told Th e Standard of his initial desire to make a change.
Emotional eating was a big issue for Tony, who now leads the lo-cal Weight Watchers group out of the Fraser Canyon Hospital every Wednesday evening at 5:30 p.m.
“Emotional eating is a big factor for many people,” he said.
Th e structure and ac-countability provided at the Weight Watcher’s meetings was impor-tant for Tony. It helped him navigate new eat-ing habits and lifestyle choices as he battled his worst critic — the inter-nal one.
“I went back to my doctor for a follow-up
and my blood sugar lev-el was on the good side.”
In a matter of 19 months, the determined and focused weight loss guru had shed a whop-ping 70 pounds.
Th e long-haired, in-telligent and energetic banker works out of a home offi ce with his be-loved Chinese pug Lola, and rides his bicycle 20 kilometres every day around Hope, oft en in a traditional Scottish kilt and oft en at 4 a.m., keeping his daily regi-
ment alive and well at the Bike Park.
“My only concern is the critters,” he said of the early hour, but di-vulged there hasn’t been any close encounters.
An advocate of one cup of coff ee and a good pot of herbal tea a day, Tony is bright and alive as he instructs his capti-vated class at the Fraser Canyon Hospital — a class the innovative fa-cilitator discovered there was a niche for here in Hope.
“Th ere was no Weight Watchers group in Hope and I was driv-ing to Chilliwack in the winter and I wouldn’t get home until 7:30 p.m. and thought, why not bring it here?”
Meetings started over a year a go and since then, Tony’s group has seen over 25 partici-pants.
“It’s about giving back to the community,” he said. “Th ere’s a lot of ex-citing things happening within the organization, and we will approach-ing weight loss in a ho-listic way.”
It’s about setting re-alistic goals and keep-ing a positive mind set, according to Tony, who lectures weekly on top-ics like “a slip doesn’t have to be a slide” in terms of temporar-ily falling off the weight loss band wagon.
Weight watchers has a point system and a weight loss science that is based on height, gen-der and age. Th e point system varies from per-son to person, but it helps people target the amount and types of food they should be eat-ing to lose and maintain weight loss.
“We want to create
something that is sus-tainable and realistic,” he said. “But the good thing is — you can still pretty much eat every-thing you want.”
Th e group is about supporting one another and acknowledging bad days, or addressing the emotional aspect of eat-ing.
“It’s about channel-ing that emotion, and letting it go — you can visualize it, like it’s on a conveyor belt and watch it go,” he said.
Th e meetings create a sense of community in a safe environment that allows people to relate to each other, and yes, even have a good time doing it.
“We do diff erent ac-tivities and we’re laugh-ing, joking, and having a good time — in the end we become friends and nobody judges,” he said.
Tony’s life has changed dramatical-ly since he began his weight loss adventure, and the colon cancer survivor has no regrets.
“My life has changed a lot, I’m much more outgoing and a happier person, and my wife loves it,” he said. “All you can do is take it step by step, every loss is a victory — you can gain, but if you keep going, you can do it.”
Tony has gone from 275 pounds to 160 pounds during his weight loss journey and has led others to do so.
Daniel Dubrueil, a current member of the class has lost 33 pounds over the course of 19 weeks and feels great.
“It has really helped with my mobility,” he told Th e Standard.
Working to lose it together
Erin Knutson
Tony Pavick instructs his Weight Watcher’s class at the Fraser Canyon Hospital every Wednesday night at 5:30 p.m. The weight loss guru inspires, motivates and shakes up his participants with informative lectures and activities.

Celebrating 25 years in Real Estate!!
By Erin Knutson The Standard
Animal House off ers some of the fi nest pet products in Hope. Th e pet store opened in the be-ginning of July and houses an exceptional selection of pet sup-plies, accessories, and fi rst rate industry knowledge.
Arie Johnston started out in the pet business by accident over 30 years ago and opened his own shop in Chilliwack shortly there-aft er, carefully fi ne tuning his skills as a proprietor and distrib-utor, while specializing in reptiles and aquatics.
“When I fi rst started out we had the best reptile and aquatic in-store selection,” he said. “We’re not just a retailer — we provide a knowledgeable service.”
Th e jovial and kind hearted owner has a Cairn Terrier named Rat and considers himself a hob-byist as well, with six aquariums at home and a love of Bearded Dragons, or Beardies for dragon enthusiasts.
“Th ey’re just cool,” he told the Hope Standard.
Animal House caters to most cold-blooded creatures, off ering an extensive selection of reptile fare including miel worms and crickets, complete with all the trappings, whether it be fi nding the perfect enclosure for said reptile, or off ering advise on the
proper care and maintenance of the crawly but lovable inhabit-ants.
“I’m not a veterinarian,” John-ston cautions on the advise he gives, so as not to blur the lines on the boundaries and responsi-bilities inherent in a vet’s role that don’t crossover to his role at Ani-mal House.
Th e shop also off ers some neat options, like tag engraving for the countless furry counterparts of Hope. Tagging, tattooing and keeping pets on leash is the best
strategy for ensuring that beloved pets don’t end up on the streets according to Johnston who helps people and animals fi nd the best fi t together.
“It’s nice to match up the right animal with the right owner,” he said.
Animal House is located near the intersection of Wallace Street and third avenue by Kamyon. For more information please call Arie at 604-824-1411 or visit the Animal House Pet Supplies Face-book page.
Animal House offers unique serviceBusiness
Erin Knutson
Arie Johnston enjoys another summer day at his pet supply shop Animal House. Johnston opened in July, and looks forward to supplying all things pet related, while being able to offer sound advice to pet owners in Hope.

Ball tournament fosters fun and memoriesBARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD
Tom Rogers of Grizzly Ballers keeps his eye on the ball during the 22nd annual Peters Family Memorial Two-Pitch Tournament. The event attracted 12 teams to Sixth Avenue Park over the weekend, with the Weekend Warriors capturing top prize money of $1200.
Sports
Barry StewartThe Hope Standard
What began with the death of a young family member has grown into an annual event for native communities and their friends from the upper Fraser Valley and the canyon.
Th e Peters Family Memorial Two-Pitch ball tournament attract-ed 12 teams this year for two days of fun and fond memories. Games started on Friday evening at Sixth Avenue Park and culminated with a lively championship match on Sunday aft ernoon.
“We started having the tourney aft er the loss of our nephew, Der-win Peters,” said co-organizer Th el-ma Florence, Monday. “We add names when we have a loss in fam-ily. Our fi rst tourney was in 1993.”
Sadly, Th elma lost her husband Glen last month and his absence was palpable.
“He always helped us organize
and help with the concession. Twenty-one years of helping,” said Th elma. Now, it’s down to Th elma, her daughters Monica Florence and Rhonda Bobb and sister-in-law Carol Peters to help run the event.
Twelve teams paid $275 each to take part — but much of that was given back in prize money and helped cover other expenses.
“Chawathil First Nation helps with a donation every year,” added Th elma. “Our family also sponsors all trophies and all-stars. We do not make any money from the memo-rial.”
Strong teams and individual ath-letes get their honours — but so do the whiners… all in good fun, though.
“Th e Cry Baby award went to Melvin Andrew of the Hot Dogs and Tacos team,” said Th elma, “and the Drama Queen went to Charity Charlie. Th ey have a good laugh about it.”
Th e Most Sportsmanlike Team trophy went to the Sharon’s Roses squad, a fi rst-time entry at the tournament. Dogwood Valley resi-dent Vanessa James organized the team in honour of her mom.
“My mom passed away three years ago,” said James on Mon-day. “I had hoped to put a team in last year for the tournament but it didn’t work out, so I was deter-mined to do so this year. I tossed around a few diff erent team names, but needed input from my sons Marcus and Dyllan for my fi nal decision.
“Sharon Rose Hope was her name, which is how we came up with the team name. Her maiden name was Peters, so we’ve always attended the tournament — but this is the fi rst time I’ve put a team in specifi cally for her.”
Vanessa and her husband Jesse hadn’t put a team together since 2007, but even then, it was mostly Jesse’s responsibility, she said.
“Th is time he left it all up to me. I got to the fi eld and had to put together a batting line up and had all these players looking at me ask-ing where they should be playing in the fi eld, I told them that I just put some names together, I’m not much of a ball coach.
“Rosalee Floyd and Calvin Be-lair were awarded the all-stars for our team, and Jesse was named the Most Inspirational Player. My Aunty Carol chose him out of twelve teams of players; it was quite an honor,” said James.
Th e fi rst-time coach has at least one thing fi gured out from her weekend: “I think the most sports-manlike team is the team that comes in twelft h,” she speculated. “But it didn’t matter to me, I had a lot of fun out there with the friends and family I played with — and honored my mom at the same time.
“Th elma, Monica, Rhonda and Carol all did a fabulous job of orga-nizing the tournament under diffi -
cult circumstances this year, as we lost Th elma’s husband in the begin-ning of July.
Th e Herd of Bears squad won the consolation award, 29-18 over Hit-and-Run. Hot Dogs and Tacos took fourth place and the Pun-isherz edged out Meles 37-34, rel-egating Meles to third place. Th e Punisherz’ Alex Joseph batted in 48 runs over the weekend and team-mate Annabelle Williams batted in 23.
In the championship match, the Weekend Warriors pounded the Punisherz, 33-22.
Th elma said at presentation there was a moment of silence, fol-lowed by a song.
Her daughter Monica added, “Aft er the presentation of the tro-phies, the three teams showed a lot of respect for our family. All of them gave their trophies to my mom, in honour of my dad, who just passed away.”
