Darla DickinsonContributor

Talk to anyone who has lived in Hope for 20 years and you will hear of the multitude of stores and busi-nesses that once lined the streets.

Slowly, over the years, business-es and companies have closed or moved on and the economic base of Hope has gradually changed. Now, an added deterrent for young fami-lies residing in Hope is the chal-lenge of � nding child care.

“When I � rst started in the in-dustry most parents were doing 9-5 but today the economy has changed and we are in desperate need to � nd

child care providers willing to cover shi� work,” said Kim Paolini, pro-gram coordinator for Child Care Resource and Referral (CCRR). “Our 9-5 world is shi� ing, and we have to learn to shi� with it.”

CCRR was created to provide a free resource for parents and child care providers, while ensuring that quality child care is available.

“� e needs of parents in Hope are changing, as more and more par-ents � nd themselves working shi� and weekend work, while most day-care providers are still only o� ering 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday,” said Paolini. “� e solution is simple,

we need more care providers willing to work evenings and weekends, or people willing to establish a daycare business to meet just that need.”

Child Care Resource and Refer-ral o� ers resources, program ideas, equipment and support to set up a licensed child care home based business.

“Our goal is to ensure that child care providers provide the best care possible for children,” added Paolini. “� e � rst � ve years are the most important for a child’s devel-opment.”

Once a business is licensed, the child care provider can have up to

seven children, otherwise the maxi-mum number of children they can care for is two (not including their own). In addition, Paolini noted that registered child care providers are eligible for extra subsidy fund-ing from the Ministry of Children and Family Development as well as support and resources if they have a particular child that has behavioral issues. In many cases, parents are also eligible for child care subsidy support as well.

Local woman killed in head-on collision An 82-year-old Hope woman was killed

in a head-on collision on Highway 1 near the Bradner Road rest stop in Abbotsford on Sat-urday morning.

As Elsie Ethel Eileen McAdam pulled out of the rest stop in a 2005 four-door Buick Allure, she entered the westbound lanes of Highway 1 heading east.

She crashed into a family from Chilliwack in a 2003 Mazda3 hatchback heading west at about 10:45 a.m.

The 29-year-old Chilliwack man and his 24-year-old wife sustained non-life-threaten-ing injuries. Their three-month old baby was unharmed.

“This tragic loss of life has impacted a fam-

ily forever,” said RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen. “This is a time of year when families come together and celebrate the holidays, but un-fortunately a family now grieves the loss of a beloved family member.”

The BC Coroners Service and Upper Fra-ser Valley Traffic Services continue to inves-tigate.

News

The family of missing Lang-ley man Dan Rikkinen are in mourning, after Hope RCMP discovered his body on Dec. 9.

Rikkinen was found in his burned-out pickup truck in the Hope area. Forensic special-

ists were called in to make the identification, confirmed Cpl. Len Vannieuwenhuizen of the Upper Fraser Valley Regional RCMP.

“The matter is still under in-vestigation, but foul play is not

suspected,” he said.Rikkinen went missing on

Nov. 22 after visiting his wife at Langley Memorial Hospital. Family members told the me-dia that he had just celebrated his 59th birthday and had

made plans for the weekend, but left without a trace after making a large withdrawal of cash from a bank the next day.

He had plans to move to Vancouver Island with his wife after she got out of hospital.

Hope RCMP Constables JP Vezina, Michelle Burke and Ryan Fillmore (above) collected donations during the fourth annual Stuff the Cruiser event at Cooper’s Foods. About 1,400 pounds of food and $619.80 in cash was raised for the local food bank, which included large donations from Hope Kal-Tire and 1st Hope Scouting. Jacob and Claire Medlock (top left) dropped off the donation on behalf of 1st Hope Scouting. The group spent the last month canvassing door-to-door for donations. At left, Boston Bar RCMP Constables Steve Thackeray (red surge) and Jon Lane were joined by residents in front of Boston Bar Kal-Tire on Saturday. They collected $904.84 in cash and 1,125 pounds of food for the food bank. Most of the officers partici-pating in the Stuff the Cruiser events volunteered their time.

Strahl to chair BC/Yukon caucusRobert FreemanBlack Press

Chi l l iwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl has been named by Prime Minister Ste-phen Harper to chair the Conservative par-ty’s BC/Yukon caucus effective immediately.

“I feel honoured and humbled to have been asked by the Prime Minister to take over this important role,” Strahl said in a Thurs-day news release an-nouncing the appoint-ment.

He later told Black Press that he believes he may be the only MP among those elected for the first time in May, 2011, to be so honoured.

Strahl, now 34, agreed his previous political work behind the scenes as an as-sistant to two Con-servative MPs, and as an election campaign manager and as presi-dent of the Conserva-tive board of directors may have had some-thing to do with his appointment as chair of the regional caucus.

But, he added: “I think it’s just the Prime Minister trust-ed my judgment and thinks I’m ready for the challenge the posi-tion presents.”

As regional caucus chairman, Strahl will chair a weekly meeting of Conser-vative MPs and Senators from across the region, and also chair the bi-annual BC/Yukon stake-holder meet-ing held in Vancouver.

He will also report the work of the regional caucus to the party’s nation-al caucus and to the Prime Minister.

Strahl was first elect-ed just over a year ago in the riding held by his father MP Chuck Strahl since 1993.

The younger Strahl raised some eyebrows among Conservative party members when he announced his in-tention to make a run for the nomination just days after the el-der Strahl announced his intention in March, 2011 to leave politics.

Some accused Strahl of having advance notice of his father’s intention not to run again, giving him an advantage over other possible candidates, and then a shortened nomination period

“abridged” by party of-ficials in Ottawa to get ready for the expected

election call didn’t help the negative perception.

But Strahl went on to win the n o m i n a -tion hand-ily, and then gathered a w h o p p i n g 57.2 per cent to the total bal-

lots cast in the riding - 28,153 votes - down

only slightly from the 29,198 who voted for his father in the 2008 election.

Since then Strahl has served as a member of the Standing Commit-tee on National De-fence and the Standing Committee on Health - and now as chair of the regional caucus.

Strahl praised out-going caucus chair Dick Harris (Caribou-Prince George) who is stepping down for health reasons after six years as chair.

“The BC/Yukon

Conservative cau-cus is a strong group of outstanding MPs and Senators, and I am looking forward to working with them in this new position,” Strahl said.

He said James Moore (Port Moody-Westwood-Port Co-quitlam) is currently the senior Conserva-tive MP in B.C.

The party won 21 of the 36 federal seats in B.C. in the 2011 elec-tion, one less than it held after the 2008 election.

Testing new drugs requires seeing how they might affect body organs like the liver, kidney and heart. They use live subjects in this testing. The National Institute of Health in the U.S. is funding research into 3-D tissue chips using living cells that model the structure and function of the real organs. Once developed, these chips will be used to test new drugs and result in bringing them to market faster.

The words “cold chain” refer to the need to keeping vaccines and certain antibiotics cold (2-8℃) from manufacturing to

administration. This is important when shipping products overseas because half of the vaccines are lost due to exposure to heat. A new idea using silk as a stabilizer in the product will allow a greater range of temperature variations. Should be in use in about five years.

We get kind of smug in Canada thinking that being overweight is more an American problem. But today, 59% of Canadians are either overweight or obese. By 2026 this is expected to reach 70%. Now is the time to do something about it.

Music can have a powerful

effect on people with dementia. A program called Music and Memory uses music selections that the patient listened to in past years. Using an MP3 player and earphones, the music brings back memories to these patients and helps them become more connected with the real world.

Giving you the best service for all your medication needs is the main goal of our pharmacists. Hope to see you in our pharmacy soon.

Lee Naylor has been honoured for his com-mitment and dedication to the veteran commu-nity.

He was one of 13 Brit-ish Columbians who received a commenda-tion from the Minister of Veterans Affairs on Dec. 12. The award is presented to individuals who have contributed to the care and well-being of veterans, and to the remembrance of their

contributions, sacrifices and achievements.

“It was humbling,” said Naylor, a retired Canadian Forces officer and Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient. “The work I do is for the Hong Kong veterans and their fami-lies. I don’t expect any reward for this. Their story is unknown to so many in Canada.”

Commendation in-cludes a bar, which can be worn below official decorations on a recipi-ent’s blazer, a lapel pin for civilian wear and a certificate.

Naylor is the son of a

Second World War vet-eran who fought in the Battle of Hong Kong and endured many hardships as a prisoner

of war. His father’s ex-perience led him to be-came heavily involved in preserving the sto-ries of those Canadians

who fought in Hong Kong during the Sec-ond World War. Naylor has been the education chair of the Hong Kong Veterans’ Commemora-tive Association of B.C. since 2008 and the As-sociation’s director since 2009.

He has also set up educational displays at teachers’ workshops and conferences at the Chilliwack Museum and participated in or-ganizing a three-week study tour of Asia as part of the Association for Learning and Pre-serving Second World War History in Asia.

Hope veteran receives commendation

Donating to Fra-ser Canyon Hospital has been made easier, with the launch of Fra-ser Valley Health Care Foundation’s new web-site.

While users have always been able to make online dona-tions, www.FVHCF.org now clearly lists all of the facilities and programs under the Foundation’s umbrella and simplifies the giv-ing process.

“We’ve been around

for almost 13 years, and there are still some Hope area resi-dents who don’t realize that we are their hos-pital foundation and that money raised in their community, stays in their community,” said executive director Vicki Raw.

“We’ve been so busy fundraising and run-ning campaigns, we’ve been a little too quiet when it comes to pro-moting ourselves.”

The new website

will also shine a light on third-party fun-draisers organized by individuals, busi-nesses and community groups and promote the Foundation’s com-munity partners. It offers detailed infor-mation on the types of gifts the Foundation can accept, such as in memoriam and estate gifts.

Unlike traditional hospital foundations which each serve a single acute care facil-

ity, the Fraser Valley Health Care Founda-tion raises funds for the hospitals in Hope, Chilliwack, Abbots-ford and Mission.

In addition, it sup-ports multiple resi-dential care facilities, Christine Morrison Hospice, the Agassiz Community Health Centre, and commu-nity-based health care programs throughout the Fraser Valley Re-gional Hospital Dis-trict.

Holidays offer many local activitiesInge WilsonContributor

The children are home from school for their Christmas holi-day break starting Friday and they will be full of excitement and energy. Many Hope families will also be hosting family and friends from far and wide for the holiday season – how to keep them all busy and entertained?

One of the first options to consider should be the wonder-ful recreation facilities that our small town is fortunate enough to have in the Dan Sharrers Aquatic Centre, Hope Arena and Gym/Cardio Room. While all of the facilities will be closed on Dec. 25-26 and Jan. 1, there is a special schedule of expanded public hours over the rest of the holiday break. By offering your children and visitors a fun out-ing of swimming, soaking, skat-ing or working out, you can also help them burn off some of those extra holiday calories. Contact the Hope Recreation Complex at 604-869-2304 to check on sched-ules and admission rates.

Some of the special events that the Hope rec centre is offer-ing this holiday season include a drop and shop session from 1-5 p.m. on Dec. 22. Need some time to Christmas shop? Or maybe to wrap presents without distrac-tions? Bring your children in for an afternoon of fun. Snack pro-vided. Cost per child is $15. Win-ter Festival day camps are offered Dec 27-28 and Jan. 2-4, from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. for ages six through to 12. Winter break day camps include a variety of games, crafts, swimming, skating, and bowling. Children should bring a lunch, swimsuit and towel. If possible, they should also bring a helmet and skates. The cost is $32/child per day and partici-pants must be pre-registered. On Dec. 29, there will be a friends and family games night in the concession area from 6-8 p.m. for all ages. Settle in and socialize over the board and card games provided. Cost is $2/person.

For those that are suffering from hockey withdrawal there is also an opportunity to be a spec-tator at the January 4-6 midget minor hockey tournament at the Hope arena. Come out and cheer on the local hockey players. Note that all public skating and casual hockey times are cancelled dur-ing this tournament weekend.

Another fun option for all age levels is five-pin bowling at Sun-shine Lanes. For extra excitement try their “Galactic Bowling” op-tion complete with music, lights, and lasers. Reserve a lane by call-ing 604-869-7027. Also ask them about their racquetball, virtual golf and “wallyball” activities.

The Hope Cinema is another entertainment facility in Hope that caters to all ages. They have first-run movies playing Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday nights at 7:30 p.m. Starting Dec. 21, they will be showing the ea-gerly awaited Tolkien series film

The Hobbit. Check their infor-mation line at 604-869-0752 for show times and details.

If you are looking to enjoy a live theatre performance, then plan to attend the Pantomine Play “Beauty, the Baron and the Beast” by the Hope Perform-ing Arts Community Theatre at the Hope Station House at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Dec. 22. Tickets for the show are $10.They can be reserved by email-ing [email protected] or call-ing 604-206-7227. On Dec. 23, this play will be repeated after a special brunch with the Cin-derella, Belle, Red Riding Hood and Prince Charming characters. This will also be at the Hope Sta-tion House The brunch starts at noon and the show follows at 1 p.m. Tickets for the show are $10. Tickets for the brunch and show are $12. They can be reserved by emailing [email protected] or calling 604-206-7227.

Hope is fortunate to have many great walking trails and two that remain easily accessible throughout the winter season are the Rotary Nature Trail along the Coquihalla River (accessible from the corner of Seventh Av-enue and Wardle Street) and the Thacker Regional Park trail on the abandoned Kettle Valley Railway grade along Thacker marsh (accessible from Union Bar Road, but the gravel parking lot is not available due to bridge construction on Union Bar Road so park on the shoulder of the road near the Coquihalla River Bridge). Both are easy strolls of about 30 to 45 minutes return in length and provide bird watching opportunities.

If you don’t want to venture out alone in nature consider tak-ing part in the Dec. 22 “Families In Nature” program presented by Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning. This is a free program for families of all ages to discover the nature that sur-

rounds us. Meet at the Hope rec centre at 10 a.m. and dress ap-propriately for the weather. Bring water and snacks as nature walks are up to two hours in length. For the safety and comfort of others please leave your pets at home. Program runs rain, snow or shine. For more information, call 604-869-1274.

If Santa brings you new elec-tronic gadgets equipped with GPS abilities you can also get out to explore the world of geocach-ing (treasure hunting using GPS coordinates). There are hundreds of hidden treasure caches in the Hope region but not all of them will be winter friendly so choose wisely from those listed at www.geocaching.com – just enter a lo-cal postal code and lots of choic-es will be offered.

If Hope should be fortunate enough to have snow over the holiday season you can add to-bogganing and cross country skiing to your list of activity op-tions. The hill at Kawkawa Lake Park is a perennial favourite for those with tubes and sleds.

Even if Hope does not receive snow itself there are a number of locations close by that offer a wide variety of winter sports.

Manning Park Resort is only about an hours drive east of Hope on Highway 3 and offers downhill and cross country ski-ing as well as snowboarding and snowshoeing. They also have a toboggan hill and the “Polar Coaster” tube park. These facili-ties are open daily over the holi-day break plus they offer equip-ment rentals and lessons. Call 250-840-8822 or check www.manningpark.com for prices, times and details. Even if you don’t want to be active, a drive to the Manning Park Lodge will offer you spectacular winter scenery and a tempting menu of treats in the Cascade Café or Bear’s Den Pub. This outing is great at lifting spirits if Hope suf-

fers through an extended period of gloomy weather since Man-ning Park almost always offers sunshine and clear blue skies during the winter season.

Snowmobiling in the Falls Lake and Coquihalla Lakes area will appeal to those who want more speed and excitement. These areas are only about a 30 minute drive northeast of Hope on Highway 5. You must have your own snowmobile or you can arrange for a rental through Variable Rentals in Kamloops. Call them at 250-573-6073 or 250-319-3424 for details or visit www.variablerentals.com.

As for New Year’s Eve parties, there will be one at the Hope Station House (111 Old Hope Princeton Way) starting at 8 p.m. featuring live entertainment by The Crew and deluxe food offer-ings. Tickets are $29.99 per cou-ple or $15.99 for a single. Tickets available at Hope Pharmasave, the Station House or by calling Ron at 604-860-3126. Proceeds will go to the front of building restoration. You can also ring in the new year at the Hope Legion Hall (344 Fort St.) starting at 8 p.m. with Swampwater. Tick-ets are $25 per person and are available from the Legion Hall. The evening will include a light snack plus a chance to win a TV.

Aaron Halliday is performing an Alan Jackson tribute concert at the Hope Eagles Hall (386 Fort St.) on Dec. 31. Doors open at 8 p.m., followed by the show and dance until 1 a.m. Tickets are $20, which includes cold cuts and midnight champagne. At the Silver Chalice Pub (19974 Silver-view Rd.), the celebration will feature the Woody James Band. Joe’s Restaurant & Lounge (293 Wallace St.) will have live enter-tainment by No Time Flat and a four-course gourmet dinner with champagne starting at 6:30 p.m. for $60 per person. Reservations recommended.

Premier ponders black ink, oil

Premier Christy Clark has com-pleted the traditional round of year-end interviews with legisla-tive press gallery reporters.  Here are excerpts from my discussion with her, dealing with the En-bridge oil pipeline proposal and the balanced budget her govern-ment has promised to present in February.

TF: On the Enbridge project, are you getting the answers you want on safety?

PCC: No, we’re not. We’ve set out our position. The five condi-tions need to be met, period.  

[B.C.’s conditions are “world-

class” land and marine spill pre-vention and response, meeting legal obligations for aboriginal consultation, passing federal-pro-vincial environmental assessment and a “fair share” of financial ben-efits.]

PCC: We need the oilpatch pro-ducers, the Alberta government and the federal government to come to the table.

We’ve been cross-examining Enbridge. We have not been get-ting any of the answers that we hoped to get. We haven’t gained a lot of comfort from that process. And none of the other conditions are even close to being met.

We are doing our own study of marine traffic. We want to under-stand the total number of ships that are out there plying our coast right now. Because all of them have fuel in them, and some are

cargo ships that are big enough to have enough [bunker] fuel as a mini-tanker would.

Part of this is trying to under-stand where our level of Coast Guard protection needs to be to-day, in order to protect us should there be a spill from the existing traffic.

TF: Balancing the budget: the fi-nance ministry’s current projections call for an upturn in natural gas royalties in the coming year. With the current glut of gas, isn’t that kind of far-fetched?

PCC: It is going to be difficult to present a balanced budget, but I think, because we’re going to build in some [forecast] allowance, as we always do, and because we’re going to be completely transparent about the assumptions that have led us there, and because we aren’t going to fiddle with any of the assump-

tions that we receive from the ex-perts in the Ministry of Finance, it’s going to be quite clear that we have done it. We have come by a balanced budget honestly.

So when it comes to natural gas, you know that the assumption we use in the budget is based on a fairly complex formula that the Ministry of Finance has relied on for probably a decade now. We don’t fiddle with that.

There are those who would say we should artificially lower the [revenue projection] number that we use. But if you artificially lower it, what’s to stand in the way of ar-tificially raising it? You either ac-cept the advice of your experts or you don’t. And they’re the experts, not the politicians.

TF: Right now we have a deficit gap of more than a billion dollars. Can that be closed without signifi-

cant spending cuts, or tax increases, or both?

PCC: You will see when we get to the budget. And it will be ab-solutely transparent how we got there. [Laughs] Nice try.

TF: If the B.C. Liberals form a government in May, will the elec-tion date be changed so we don’t have to have this discussion about questionable spring election bud-gets?

PCC: It’s not part of the plan to-day, but I’m sure it’s a discussion we’ll have in the next four years. I know that people have talked about it. I’m open to it. I’m not wedded to this particular date.

Next week I’ll have highlights from my year-end interview with NDP leader Adrian Dix.

Tom Fletcher is legislative report-er and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

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

A costly crossing The smile on the face of the premier illuminated the

early morning gloom as the new Port Mann bridge was officially opened to eight lanes earlier this month.

It’s hard to say how long the honeymoon will last, es-pecially when commuters and truckers start to see the effect the full cost of tolls will have on their wallets every month.

Sensing the backlash that financial hit could spawn, crossing the bridge will be half price until Feb. 28 for drivers who haven’t registered for a special windshield sticker and until next November for those who have.

The government is hoping if they get drivers hooked on the new bridge, they’ll pay whatever it takes to keep moving and won’t blink when they start getting dinged three bucks a crossing.

But they may be underestimating the determination of Greater Vancouver motorists to drive for a bargain.

Already burdened by the highest cost of living in Can-ada, extracting another $1,500 a year out of the house-hold accounts of regular users of the Port Mann could be one debit too much. Not to mention the increases in the cost of food and consumer goods that are transported by trucks over the bridge.

Three years ago the tolled Golden Ears Bridge that links Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to Highway 1 via Langley was opened with similar fanfare.

Yet every morning, drivers heading west from those communities line up bumper-to-bumper on the Lougheed Highway to cross the free Pitt River bridge as the six lanes of the Golden Ears sit largely empty.

While tolls help pay for the infrastructure we so desper-ately need to keep up with Greater Vancouver’s booming population, those tolls need to be kept affordable for all.

Here’s how you responded: Yes 64% No 36%

laST WEEK WE aSKEd:

Now that the bears are hibernating, the Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee and the Con-servation Officer Service would like to thank the residents of Hope for a great year. Our partner-ship this past year has re-sulted in the creation of a program to raise aware-ness about bear attrac-tants and coexisting with bears in Hope. We are very thankful for all the encouragement and help we have received from so many Hope residents. The garbage situation

has greatly improved and people have become more tolerant and un-derstanding about the is-sues we face when living in bear country.

We would like to thank the RCMP for their help, particularly on Halloween night, and we look forward to another year of coopera-tion.

We are very grateful to the District of Hope for providing a helping hand whenever possible, and for financial support in the form of a grant in

aid. We are also thank-ful for the signs and bear proof garbage containers distributed throughout town by the district. This was a big step in the right direction.

Many thanks to the Hope Rotary Club for their financial support, and also to all local busi-nesses which have do-nated to our fundraisers or provided other forms of assistance. It is very much appreciated and we would not have been so successful without your help.

The FVRD and The BC Conservation Foun-dation are also thanked kindly for their financial help and other support. We say a big thank you to all of the dedicated volunteers who have made this program pos-sible by donating count-less hours to keeping the residents, and bears, of Hope safe. And last but not least, we thank the residents of Hope for their interest and will-ingness to change old habits.

Because of the many

contributions we have received, we have had a very successful year. However, there is much more to be done and we are looking forward to another year of working with the community.

Happy holidays to ev-eryone and may the new year bring lots of happi-ness and prosperity.

On Friday, Dec. 14 Trails Crossing Friend-ship Centre held a youth media blitz that brought together young people from C.E. Barry, Hope Secondary and a home-schooled student to en-

courage a campaign let-ting them be the teacher and show us a better way to market the friendship centre using social media.

They discussed the problems with social media networks such as

Facebook’s privacy prob-lems, bullying and online stalkers. There were sever-al students using various social media networks from Facebook,Twitter, deviantART, Tumblr and YouTube. At the end of

the evening, Trails Cross-ing had a competition for a Iconia Tablet from Acer and Jesse Tobacco won it with an inventive plan to create a female heroin using hand drawn and/or digital anime art and

making her the Trails Crossing girl.

By creating a weekly or monthly comic strip that can be seen on the Cen-tre’s Facebook and web-site, as well as the Dream catcher newsletter, to at-

tract more interest in the Centre’s programs and outreach.

Trails Crossing embarks on social media project

All men realize the absolute necessity of having a wide range of motorized equipment available to keep the yard and garden in or-der and the driveway free of snow.

Sometime our coun-try women think there are occasions when the job could have been completed by hand, using a shovel and a rake, in about half the time it took to fondly stroke and remove the tractor from the shed.

Of course, we men know better, but be-cause of this, we have to be very careful not to find ourselves in a situation that requires us to proceed to the kitchen door with hat in hand and ask for help to extricate a stuck tractor or hook up a piece of equip-ment.

In the case of a stuck

tractor, we can expect to hear something like, “why didn’t you just do that by hand?

It wouldn’t have taken any longer and we would still have the rose bush” or “How are you going to fill those awful wheel ruts in the flower bed?” not real-izing of course that it will be a “breeze.”

All we have to do is attach the rear blade to the tractor and wait until conditions are right. The “right con-ditions” are defined as being home alone.

It is essential to work out a set of hand signals that allow for communication be-tween the tractor driv-er and the driver of the pickup truck.

It is crucial to adjust the forward speed of the pickup and to syn-chronize the release of the clutch with the

disappearance of slack in the tow rope. I have been told that if this part of the operation is done properly, the tow rope will remain in one piece. I find this hard to believe.

There are a number of universal hand sig-nals that convey pre-cise directions to the other party.

However, wives seem to have an un-canny ability to im-provise and change hand signals to suit a particular situation.

There is a corre-lation between the degree of change in the signals and the amount of stress asso-ciated with the towing operation.

For instance, a right hand raised to about ear level and flopping widely means you are going to fast, or it could it could stop, or there goes a fingernail, or it’s too late to save the rosebush.

After the tow rope breaks for the second time, I have a signal that involves throwing my hat on the ground with great gusto. This is her signal to disap-pear into the house.

I have not been able to figure out what she means when she points at me with her left hand and then points the index finger at the side of her and rotates it around her ear.

Probably just as well. Jack DeLair

Several changes at Hope Library

Community

Here we are, already near the end of December, with many of us (like me) near giddy with the anticipation of the joy of spending the holidays with family and friends.

It really has been a great year!

Now I don’t have a par-ticularly philosophical bent, but the views ex-pressed by the Greek phi-losopher Heraclitus cer-tainly resonates with my career and with our work here in the library. In Li-braryland, you see, the only constant is change.

This year a puppet the-atre was installed in the children’s area, resulting in almost daily puppet plays (and the chil-dren are very creative).

This was made possible through dona-tions from two generous li-brary visitors. Funds raised by the 2012 Quiz Night helped purchase a new chair in the tween area and a new carpet in the tween area appeared there as well – thanks here to our fabulous volunteers, the Friends of the Hope Library. The Friends also purchased the snazzy red mini-couch, which pro-vides seating for the pup-pet show audience.

The library system as a whole went a little greener and moved toward us-ing less paper, using digi-tal signage in many of the branches. In Hope, the display unit is on the wall behind the desk and has information about chang-ing library initiatives and programs.

New databases include Naxos (music), Mango (languages), OneClickDig-ital (e-books) and Zinio (magazines). Mango, One-Click, and Zinio can all be used on mobile devices. How awesome is that?

Another innovation which ranks very high on the awesomeness scale are the new Community and Internet cards which both allow more universal ac-cess to the library’s collec-tion.

Along the same lines, LiLi and Smitty, as Library Live and On Tour, have been visiting the Thunder-bird Hotel and have been at Story Time in the Park and

other events around town. LiLi’s mandate is take the library out of the library.

There have been staff changes too.

Bronwyn spent the sum-mer in Abbotsford and then moved on to Port Coquitlam. Toni is going back into semi-retirement soon – and it has been a real pleasure to work with her for the last six months. Kristin G. moved from be-ing a page here in Hope to working as a casual circu-lation assistant at many of our 24 libraries. And so, Sarah is now our new shelving wizard.

I’m still coming and go-ing doing programs both

in and out of the library. I suppose that hasn’t changed!

In the first few months of 2013, we have several author visits, exciting spring break programs, and a brand new book club for children. More change!

Toni, Jacque-lynne, Sarah

and myself – all of us – are looking forward to seeing you in the library in the coming year.

And a great big thank you to all of the people who make the Hope Library a bustling, busy place – may each and every one of you experience all the joys and happiness of the holiday season.

* * *

On the Nightstand: Just finished Notorious Nineteen by Janet Evano-vitch. I’ve read the first 18 Stephanie Plum mysteries and this is a good series for anyone who enjoys a light read. But with this latest, the plot and charac-ters (and even scenes – for crying out loud, how many times does Stephanie’s car have to blow up?) are get-ting stale. Barbara King-solver’s latest, on the other hand, is fabulous.

Flight Behavior is the poignant story of Del-larobia Turnbow, a young woman dissatisfied with her life and family rela-tionships in a small Ten-nessee community. Rich characters, brilliant writ-ing, and a strong message about climate change make this a worthwhile and en-gaging read.

Hope Pharmasave is now certi-fied to administer shingles vacci-nations.

A growing number of cases in the community recently prompted pharmacist Michael McLouglin to seek out relief for his patients.

The relatively new Zostavax vaccine decreases the likelihood of getting shingles and reduces the severity of long-term pain if it does occur.

“When people do get their at-

tacks we see how bad they get,” he said.

“Some will be so bad that they’re six months on morphine. That’s rare but pos-sible. When you see them suffer like that and you know that it can be prevented, as a health profes-sional you just re-ally want to help.”

Shingles is a painful, blistering rash that can

last several weeks and cause skin infections and scarring.

The nerve pain that comes from shingles can last for months, or even years, after the rash heals.

Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chicken-pox, a virus that remains in your body but may stay inactive for

years. Stress and a weakened im-

mune system have been linked as triggers.

“One of the key things is that immunity declines with age,” said McLoughlin. “So if you can get vaccinated earlier in life, you’re going to get a better response then if you wait until you’re 80.”

People don’t require a doctor’s note to get the vaccine. Some ex-tended medical plans will also cover the expense.

For more information on Shin-gles or the vaccine, visit Hope Pharmasave or set up an appoint-ment with a pharmacist.

Local pharmacy offers shingles vaccinePharmacist Lindsay Kufta administered the first shingles vaccination at Hope Pharmasave last week to Linda VanDerMuelen. A doctor’s note is not required for the vaccine.

For the � rst time in history, a

building in the Fraser-Cascade

school district is being named a� er

a trustee.� e Jim Sinclair Maintenance

Centre on Seventh Avenue pays

tribute to the Hope resident’s 30

years as board member.

“It’s a great honour and I am very

humbled,” said Sinclair.

“You don’t expect these kind of

things. You don’t get a thank you

very o� en since schools are always

a hot spot for parents.”

� e building has been Sinclair’s

dream since the amalgamation of

the Agassiz and Hope school dis-

tricts in 1997.

However, it’s taken more than

a decade for the district to secure

funding to bring the project to

fruition. � e 5,850 square feet (543.48

square metres) facility adjacent

to the district admin-

istrative o� ce replaces

the existing 50-year-old

structure located near

the Gardner GM dealer-

ship. � e building has

outdoor stalls for bus

parking, and will be used

for quick repairs and in-

spections. � ere is also a

maintenance shop, and

o� ces for operations and

technology support sta� .

A grand opening ceremony for

the building will be held on Nov.

5 at 4 p.m. Several local dignitar-

ies will be in attendance, includ-

ing Chilliwack-Hope MLA Gwen

O’Mahony. “Our event will allow people to

tour the facility and have a bite to

eat and meet with Jim, our trustees

and sta� ,” said secretary-

treasurer Natalie Lowe-

Zucchet. “� e board

and sta� are very proud

of the new maintenance

shop … which is named

for a person that I be-

lieve most of the com-

munity knows and every

one would agree deserves

the honour for his long

standing support of pub-

lic education.”

Sinclair moved to Hope in 1973

and started the HUB International

insurance o� ce on Wallace Street.

He also served as Rotary Club

member for 36 years and was re-

sponsible for the Student of the

Month program.

As a parent of three daughters in

the local school district, he saw op-

portunities for change which even-

tually motivated him to run for a

seat on the board. Sinclair was � rst

elected as a trustee in 1981.

Over the years, he was very in-

volved with First Nations educa-

tion and improving the learning

conditions for these students.

Working with students and getting

to know teachers was also a prior-

ity. “I really felt attached to the kids,”

said Sinclair. “I enjoyed the politics

of (the job) and trying to work to-

gether to get things done. I was do-

ing something that I really enjoyed

- seeing young people get what

they need to learn.”

Highway � ru Hell has been picked up for a second season with 13 episodes. Filming is set to begin some-

time in the next few weeks and will continue to follow Jamie Da-vis and his heavy rescue crew on the local highways over the winter.

“We’re pretty excited there’s go-ing to be a second season,” said Davis. “The TV show has acceler-ated our program and taken us to a new level.”

Highway Thru Hell has become a massive hit on the Discovery Channel, garnering the high-est premier audience in network history. The series, which is pro-duced by Vancouver’s Great Pa-cific TV, maintained an average of more than 600,000 viewers every week.

“It’s exciting,” said Davis. “It puts Hope into a whole new league in terms of tourism and publicity for the town.”The show has also brought the

heavy rescue team fame. Davis said he gets about 40 emails a day

from fans and responds to numer-ous comments on Twitter and Facebook. In addition, the shop has become a tourist attraction in Hope with visitors frequently stopping by to take pictures. Da-vis admits its been challenging to balance business and personal life.

“It’s been a bit of a hard road for me as the owner to try to ac-celerate everything fast,” said Da-vis. “It’s been hard on the family with the hours we put in. There’s a huge sacrifice and a commitment to this show. There’s been a lot of growing pains we’ve had to deal

with in a short time.” The Highway Thru Hell film crew will be staying in Hope for the winter to shoot footage for the upcoming season and setting up a blue screen room at Davis’ shop. There’s also been some discus-sion about possibly expanding the merchandise line and hiring local people to run some kind of outlet.

Discovery Channel is airing a Highway Thru Hell marathon on Dec. 25 starting at 2 p.m. featuring the full eight-part series, After the Crash special, and a new bonus episode.

Mustangs finish fifth in home tournament

Senior Mustang Azalia John goes up for two of her 16 points in the opening game of the girls’ home tournament last weekend. Hope battled neck-and-neck with the BC Christian Academy of Port Coquitlam but a missed shot in the dying seconds gave Hope a 46-45 win. The Mustangs dropped their two games on Saturday, to finish fifth out of eight teams. Tonight (Wednesday), Hope Secondary hosts its annual alumni games, with the senior girls taking on the returnees at 6 p.m. The senior boys take on the former boys at about 7:45 p.m. Admission is free, but there will be a raffle and 50/50 draws. Proceeds go toward team expenses.

Basketball fans were treated to a classic nailbiter in the Hope Secondary gym last Friday.

The senior Mustang girls’ were in the opening game of their home tournament, against BC Christian Academy of Port Co-quitlam — and Hope only led by two points at the half, 20-18. 

A couple of treys in the third quarter helped the visiting Panthers pull ahead 34-31, but the Mustangs were ready to battle. There were more fouls called in the final quarter than in the rest of the game — and the Panthers made two more points than the Mustangs could manage at the foul line.

With four minutes to go, Morgann Steeves sank one from the foul line to bring the score to 38-38.

At 3:18, Mina Kim gave Hope a 41-40 lead and Steeves add-ed a single at 2:15 to make it 42-40. The Panthers answered with two points from the line, tying the match again.

Jamie Peters then took a pass from a throw-in and sank a shot to put Hope up 44-42 and Kim sank two free-throws with a minute remaining, giving the Mustangs a 46-42 lead.

The Mustangs poured on an aggressive forecheck and were picking off the visitors’ passing, but the Panthers sank three of four foul shots in the last minute.

Down by a single point with only seconds left, the Panthers’ hottest shooter, Shamara Abraham, unleashed a hail-Mary shot that banged off the rim and the Mustangs contained the ball to secure the 46-45 win.

Coach Tammy Nazarchuk said the following game against D.W. Poppy on Saturday morning was a very aggressive match.

“We had three of our players foul out in the first half,” she said. “It was 27-23 for Poppy at the half but they pulled away after that.”

Final score: 69-50, with Azalia John netting 26 points, four of them from the foul line.

“Poppy ended up second in the tournament,” added Nazar-chuk. “Mission Ecole won it, by about 20 points.”

The Mustangs were schooled by Burnsview, 60-22 in their third game.

“Hope’s tournament all-stars were Morgann Steeves, Aza-lia John and Jamie Peters,” said Nazarchuk, “with honourable mention to Arden Sauvé.”

Hope Secondary’s annual alumni games take place tonight (Wednesday), with the senior girls taking on the grads of yes-teryear at 6 p.m. The men’s game starts at about 7:45 p.m.

Rebecca Arrowsmith, a 2011 grad, is organizing the night with fellow-alumnus Linden Willock, Jaclyn McNicol  and Janelle Brouwer.

Using Facebook as a sign-in device, Arrowsmith said over 10 women had indicated interest in playing or at least attend-ing.

“All the Brouwer sisters are planning on being there,” said Arrowsmith. “Janelle, Tori, Lauren and Rachel. Also Carmen Pernitsky, Reegan Barber, Richelle Willick, Rachel Deschenes, Hannah Jarvis, Shalene Sherman and myself.

“Linden is taking care of the men’s side but I know Rob and Kyle Kjemhus will be there, along with Linden and Wilson Willock and Clayton Steinebach.

Roger’s Upholstery is owned and operated by Roger Bossert and Donay Crossley. Roger has worked for 35 years in the upholstery business. Roger and Donay started their business in Hope back in 2004 when they operated Cover Craft. They then ventured to the big city and operated as Roger’s Upholstery Salon on SW Marine Dr. in Vancouver. They were there for four years and moved back to Hope in December 2011 to enjoy a less hectic pace and continue their business as Roger’s Upholstery.

Roger’s Upholstery provides all forms of fabric and leather application and repair. They do antique restoration, re-upholstery, locally contracted custom drapery and bedding along with fabric and custom foam sales. Their free in home

service and consultation is unique to the upholstery business these days. With the home décor enthusiasm of recent years, a broad knowledge of application, fabrics and standards is needed. Roger and Donay strive to keep the upholstery process fun for their customers. They can supply exclusive designer fabrics from limitless suppliers such as Jab, Kravet, Joanne and Designer Guild to name a few as well as practical budget friendly fabrics. Something new at Roger’s Upholstery is locally contracted drapery and bedding.

Their upholstery work ranges from repairs to detailed jobs for Tiffany & Co Int. Repeat, happy customers and referrals inspire Roger and Donay in their work at Roger’s Upholstery. They frequently receive big

smiles at the delivery of a remodeled piece. Comments like “Our sofa looks even better than I imagined – you are a true artsit Roger” and “I’m really pleased! My sofa looks great, feels great!” from satis� ed customers inspire Roger and Donay to keep working hard at their business.

In Loving Memory of

Lynn Charlton February 26, 1950 - December 25, 2009

They say that time will heal.But neither time nor reason

will change the way we feel.For no one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles.No one knows how many times we have broken down and cried.

We want to tell you something so there

won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think

of, but so hard to be without.We cannot bring the old days back

when we were all together.The family chain is broken now, but

memories live forever.

We love and miss you more than ever, Eddie, Tyson, Sharlene, Tyler, Taylor, Austin, Trisha, Tyson, Aidan, & Cole.
