CBC radio came to the Blue Moose for a live discussion with Mayor Wilfried Vicktor and concerned resident’s over a circulating peti-tion that was started by the environmental group SumOfUs, regarding the Nestlé plant in Hope, which is currently the largest in B.C. on Monday.

Th e “Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry — for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” headline of the petition has parties concerned there is an element of truth to it.

A plethora of voices (experts, environmen-talists, citizens and First Nations) were heard in

the hour long discussion that broached climate change, indigenous rights over the resource and commercial water sales, as well as a lack of comprehensive information available on the subject of where, how much, and for what pur-pose B.C.’s water is being used.

With the advent of the new Water Sustain-ability Act that was disclosed by Environment Minister Mary Polak on Friday — it was made clear B.C. will not be the only province that does not subscribe to the regulation of ground-water use.

Polak responded during a press release to the media with this statement.

“People keep saying there’s a deal with

Nestlé — there isn’t. Th ey pay the same as anyother industrial user, in fact the highest indus-trial rate, and it goes for anything from hydrau-lic fracturing to bottled water, those involvedin mining for example, any of those heavy in-dustrial uses.”

Th e rate is low because of the decommodifi cationpolicy regarding the resource, so as not to be rankedwith oil, or mineral under trade agreements thatwould render provincial input to a minimum, leav-ing the water market open for foreign bodies to stepin.Th e change in legislation was brought in with thehelp of industrialists and First Nation’s who are con-cerned with salmon population and healthy watersystems.

Presentation by Barrick Gold Corporation

Council BriefsRepresentatives from Barrick Gold Corporation discussed the Giant Nickel Tailings Storage Facility Remediation Program. This program is being undertaken in response to Provincial review of tailings storage facilities following the 2014 Mt. Polley Mine tailings pond failure.

Barrick Gold representatives discussed their 2015/2016 workplan, which includes increasing the capacity of the lower tailings storage facility, de-watering the upper and lower ponds, re-grading the ponds to eliminate future ponding and constructing a storm channel to divert storm water around the facility. These plans are in response to orders by the Ministry of Energy & Mines.

CN Proposed Tie Grinding Plant

Council directed that a letter be sent to CN requesting a meeting with CN representatives in order to obtain details of the proposed tie grinding plant.

Current climate conditions have citizens concerned about bottling corporations using local water supplies

News

Water situation seen by all sidesTh e act will ensure that

government has a say in the intended use of the water, while maintaining that emergencies such as droughts are dealt with by offi cials.

Fees are now being en-forced to large-scale us-ers, for an annual rate of 85 cents per 1,000 cubic metres of groundwater. According to Polak the Nestlé plant in Hope would pay an estimated $400 for the extraction of 319.5 million litres.

Th e province would be expecting an additional $5 million from the fees and is also seeking input from the populace until mid-November.

With water shortages and restrictions, perhaps these fees could be put toward long-term solu-tions for the residents of Hope who are struggling with water shortages and have been hooking into the District’s water sup-ply, until a recent hook up with a new well was manufactured, off ering a solution to what is a long-term issue. According to MLA Laurie Th roness, the amount of money being charged for the regulation of the private water system 753 Waterworks has been low and has not eff ec-tively kept up with increasing changes in supply and demand.

“What began as a really small water district has deteri-orated over time, but they were charging so little, they couldn’t really fi x the system and they weren’t building up enough of a reserve to fi x all of the things that were deteriorating,” he told Th e Hope Standard.

Calls by citizen’s to have the 753 Waterworks become part of the District of Hope’s water supply have been brought to the table. “I would defi nitely

support the application,” said Th roness.

B.C. is expected to see con-tinuing environmental chang-es in precipitation levels and warmer weather according to environmental reports, but ac-cording to environmental ex-perts such as Blair King, who can be found at achemistin-langley.blogspot.ca Nestlé uses less than one per cent of fl ow from Kawkawa Lake.

If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us? he says in his blog.

He also writes:“Absolutely not. Kawkawa

Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River,

which drains into the Strait of Georgia, neither the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is particularly short of water, even in the driest of years.”

Mayor Wilfried Vicktor, also backed the multina-tional organization operating in Hope, despite the critical climate on the issue. “Nestlé been a very good corporate citizen in our community,” he said to B.C. Almanac’s Gloria Mackarenko.

“They employ 75 lo-cal residents — for a larger community that’s not a big thing but certainly for Hope that is. Nestlé is a very easy target and unfortunately I

think a lot of people are fo-cusing on Nestlé and not taking into account the big-ger picture. There are hun-dreds of commercial indus-trial heavy water users which should be included in the discussion."Premier Christy Clark noted one thing about the hyper-sensationalism of droughts, and forest fires in a press release statement.

Clark reaffirmed, as most people suspect, that B.C. resi-dents have no need of bottled water, due to proximity of the best tap water in the world, and subtly suggested that all Nestlé naysayers could sim-ply turn on the tap and scrap the bottles.

Mayor Wilfried Vicktor (centre) discusses the Nestle petition at the Blue Moose Cafe with CBC radio host Gloria Mackarenko.

Hope Rotary has a new president

News


Hondo Stroyan recently took over the presiden-cy of the Hope Rotary Club from former esteemed president John Fortoloczky in the annual inaugu-ration ceremony, which was held at the Olympic Flame Grill.

Members gathered with family and friends as awards were given for various achievements within the organization. Stroyan took the helm gracefully, and is committed to serving the community of Hope in the style demanded by an international group that has been in existence since 1946. Th e Rotary is cur-rently involved in several community projects and is working on the development of new ones.

Th e active rotarian told the Hope Standard that he joined the club four years ago, because of its solid members and a stalwart reputation for contributing to society.

“My role as the president is to interact with the

community and to get speakers in and to make sure we’re getting out and and doing diff erent projects, while focusing on our three fundraisers for schol-arships — the rubber ducky race, the silent auction and the calendar draw,” said Stroyan.

Th e reach of the rotarians is far-and-wide, as the industrious members work diligently for the beauti-fi cation of the town, the preservation of numerous parks and trails, the local Health Unit, the Hope Mu-seum and a host of other engagements with commu-nity groups and organizations for the betterment of

the town and its people.Once thought of as a boys club, the organization

is restructuring and looking for fresh faces of both-genders in an attempt to shake things up and bring new ideas to the fl oor. Th e club is proud to off er scholarships and is the only non-profi t organization that holds a seat in the UN, where they have nearly eradicated polio from Nigeria, aft er granting $150 million to the cause. Th at grant was matched by Bill Gates for $300 million and the federal government chipped in for a whopping total of $450 million to put toward ending the disease.

Hope was also the recipient of the organization’s fundraising eff orts and was granted $51,000 to the successful completion of the Bike Park.

MLA Laurie Throness (left) and Hope Club Rotary Club President Hondo Stroyan enjoy a moment at the annual inauguration ceremony. Stroyan has begun his year-long term and aspires to connect with the community as a volunteer who loves Hope.

As we head off into the mid-summer season it’s time to clear the cobwebs of the brain with a little ranting and raving in order to stay sane while trying to not sweat the small stuff (and it’s all small stuff folks) when it’s already too hot outside.

Th at’s the thing about summertime when the living is good and it’s dif-fi cult to take anything seriously when in holiday mode, or coping with the heat mode or just plain hitting the beach mode.

And in this part of the globe one has to keep one’s eye on the calendar (it’s getting near the end of July already folks) or this thing we call summer will be over before you can say what just happened here anyway?

It may be still summer and the federal election isn’t until Oct. 19 and the campaign hasn’t even offi cially started yet but that doesn’t mean the TV ads aren’t fi nding their way into our living rooms already.

In fact, I’ve been bombarded by that Justin Trudeau applying for the PM’s job routine so oft en, and I swear I don’t watch that much TV but then again likely too much as I should be reading a good book etc., it’s getting a bit ri-diculous. Anyway I tend to notice diff erent things about it as I start to look for things to amuse myself aft er watching it for the umpteenth time.

For example the way they refer to him by his fi rst name to make him ap-pear even more youthful and inexperienced than he already is, or refer to his great hair as if to say how can a guy with rock star hair know anything about running a country for goodness sake.

So these people, whoever they are and whatever agenda they may have, have decided, presumably for us so we don’t have to think for ourselves, that Justin’s not quite ready to be PM, but hey, maybe next time, even though in the last little while Liberal leaders shelf life aft er they lose federal elections is measured in weeks, not years.

I assume the idea is to contrast Justin with, well Stephen, even though he has his own hair issues, and I’m not so sure his resume contained any more real life training when he was applying to be our prime minister for the fi rst time. In fact, Justin’s dad, I think his name was Pierre, was also a relative rookie in most respects when he applied for the job and he managed to hang in there for a few elections.

Anyway it will be interesting to see what the Liberals come up with, and judging by the polls they better think of something, and the NDP appears to be riding high but there’s so many opportunities for missteps, I still think anything can happen in this horse race, and offi cially anyway, it hasn’t even started yet. Maybe the next prime minister, whoever that may be, can do something about the rapidly vanishing Canadian dollar.

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Have you noticed the latest degradation of standards on TV news? In addition to sensational depictions of crime, ac-cidents and celebrities, the lineup now incorporates any non-sense that is momentarily “viral” on the Internet.

So it was with an online petition singling out Swiss food corporation Nestlé, which operates a water bottling plant near Hope. It’s the largest in B.C., one of many that bottle the province’s water and sell it back to a gullible public.

Th is petition is courtesy of SumOfUs, one of those self-appointed environmental watchdogs that seem to pop up like mushrooms overnight. “Fighting for people over profi ts,” they claim, pitching for donations.

Th e story has what U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert calls “truthiness.” Th at’s when something is false, but it “feels” true.

“Nestlé is about to suck B.C. dry – for $2.25 per million litres to be exact,” says the SumOfUs headline.

Using her keen sense of what’s superfi cially popular, Pre-mier Christy Clark instantly called for a review of these low rates for selling the people’s water.

It then fell to Environment Minister Mary Polak to explain what’s really going on.

“People keep saying there’s a deal with Nestlé,” Polak told

reporters. “Th ere isn’t. Th ey pay the same as any other indus-trial user, in fact the highest industrial rate, and it goes for anything from hydraulic fracturing to bottled water, those involved in mining for example, any of those heavy indus-trial uses.”

And why is that rate so low? It’s because the province takes great pains not to “sell” water, which would make it a com-modity under trade agreements, like oil or minerals. Th at would surrender provincial control, and allow the U.S. to press for equal access to Canadian water.

“You’re buying the right to use the water,” Polak said. “I know it sounds crazy to the public, but we call it a rental – a water rental.

Th ere’s a reason we use that language, because we are very careful to avoid any suggestion that by paying this amount, you therefore own that water.

“That reserves for us the right at any time, for a com-pelling public need, to say stop. It doesn’t matter if you have a licence.”

As for the brazenly false claim that Nestlé is sucking B.C. dry, I’m indebted to a real environmental profession-al named Blair King for explaining this. (His blog, achem-istinlangley.blogspot.ca, offers useful technical explana-tions of issues in the news, many of which contradict

so-called environmentalists.)King notes that the bottling plant uses less than one per

cent of the fl ow through Kawkawa Lake:“If Nestlé stopped operating (and put its 75 employees out

of work and stopped paying municipal taxes) would there be more water for the rest of us?” he writes.

“Absolutely not. Kawkawa Lake drains its excess water into the Fraser River, which drains into the Strait of Georgia. Nei-ther the Fraser River at Hope nor the Strait of Georgia is par-ticularly short of water, even in the driest of years.”

Clark made one useful contribution, when asked about this urgent non-issue by those seeking to further sensation-alize the current drought and forest fi res.

She correctly noted that most B.C. residents have access to the best tap water in the world, and have no need for bottled water.

Nestlé, Perrier, Coke, Pepsi and other companies have done a fantastic job of convincing people that their drink-ing water has to be delivered in bottles from some mythi-cal pure source.

Here’s a tip, Nestlé critics: Fill a jug with water and stick it in the fridge. Fight the corporations.

Re: A gag order for municipal employees?Dear Editor:

Mayor Vicktor told me in a letter dated July 7 (cc: Coun-cil District of Hope, John Fortoloczky, Chief Administra-tive Offi cer) that our Fire Department is prepared to fi ght “all hazards” and has the equipment, the training, and the optimum number of volunteers to deal with any emergency

— it can also call on outside mutual aid if necessary. In my reply to them, I said that I’m happy to hear that, but that telling me is simply not good enough. Other concerned citi-zens of Hope should be told as well, preferably by the Fire Chief using the media.

Rumor has it that Mr. Fortoloczky has issued a gag order to all municipal employees and appointees not to talk to

anybody, let alone the press about anything relating to themunicipality. Is that why the Fire Chief is silent?

I’m sure this rumor is not true, but I ask Mr. Fortoloczkyto confi rm or deny it.

No pillow softer than a clear conscienceDear Editor:

Do we need a $100,000 Fire Chief with a new pick-up? No! I have said this for a long time. My thoughts: Hire a training officer part time (one night a week) at a good wage, perhaps even consider a retired professional fireman — we have a few in Hope. We should have an election at each fire station for a chief — pay him extra, I got $500 a month,) which included business inspections.

The duty of each Chief would be to recruit new members and to supply information

to someone in town hall to send a form to the fire commissioner. This would take an estimated time of 30 minutes for a big fire. These two things would save the tax payers $75,000 yearly, along with not supplying a new pick-up. Sorry Chief, I was always on your side until I saw the Facebook video of the Canyon Carpets fire.

On that note — my apologies for the last two negative letters to the editor, the next one will be positive.

Dick GardnerHope, B.C.

Yukon Eric from the roadDear Editor:

Folks, I would like to continue with regard to my letter published on July 16th - 2015.

Th ere was a mistake on my part to include

Northern Ontario high-way speed limits and the lack of passing lanes with Manitoba highway systems, and for that I’m very, very sorry.

I also mentioned that I gave up on my idea of speaking to Canadians about the shape Canada is in. On that score, I think I found a better way to fi nd the truth about the shape we’re in. I started to listen to folks in small town Canada where the folks gather in coff ee shops to

mingle with their neigh-bors and hear local talk about national happen-ings. I was surprised to fi nd out that politics is a dirty word in the Cana-dian language.

Th e stuff I heard was that our politicians are nothing more than money grabbing and not to be trusted hoo-ligans.

Th e amount of scan-dals happening to politicians is unforgiv-able, one old timer in Saskatchewan said that

our Prime Minister was building a jail for all the falling politicians, but so far none of them have been sentenced — why not?

Th ere are two sub-jects that Canadians like to talk about and this includes the weath-er and the good and bad of it — the second seems to be how hard it is to make a living in the current Canadian economy, whether you are sick or poor.

Personally with elec-

tions in the near future, it does not matter who the Cana-dians elect into offi ce, there will always be some Ca-nadians not happy with the results.

A vision to protectDear Editor, From our great riv-

ers to our soaring peaks, Canada’s rugged natural beauty has instilled a love of the outdoors across generations of Canadians. Yet the responsibility to protect these treasures—and the opportunities they create for work and play—has been forgot-ten during the Harper decade. Th e Conserva-tives have refused to take meaningful action on climate change, slashed environmental protec-tions and cut funding for science. Th eir neglect has real economic con-sequences: as the global market for clean technol-ogy has grown, Canada’s market share has fallen 71 per cent. We cannot aff ord to let this continue. Th at’s why Justin Trudeau and the Liberal Party have a comprehensive vision to protect our en-

vironment while growing the economy. Our plan starts with credible ac-tion on climate change. A Liberal government will work with provincial and territorial premiers on a framework that builds on their work to combat climate change. Federal funding will help imple-ment the plan best suited to each province, not a one-size-fi ts-all policy.

Th e weakened cred-ibility of the environmen-tal assessment projects has paralyzed the devel-opment of major natu-ral resource projects. A Liberal government will restore robust oversight and community partici-pation to federal reviews. Decisions will be based on facts and evidence, not cheerleading. Around the world, companies are fi nding solutions to environmental problems and turning them into exports, creating good

middle class jobs while reducing pollution. A Liberal government will support Canadian clean tech startups and invest in the development of in-novative technologies for forestry, fi sheries, mining, energy and agriculture.

Liberals will make all our national parks free for children and any adult who has become a new Canadian citizen within the previous 12 months, and to celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday by making them free for everyone in 2017. Fi-nally, we will formalize the moratorium on crude oil tanker traffi c on B.C.’s north Coast, including the Dixon Entrance, Hec-ate Strait, Queen Char-lotte Sound, and act on the recommendations of the Cohen Commission to restore sockeye salmon stocks in the Fraser River.

Canadians no longer need to make the false

choice between the envi-ronment and the econo-my. Mr. Trudeau’s plan.

John McKay, MP

Paws for consideration Opinion

Lori WelbourneColumnist

A couple of nights ago I was greeted in my driveway by a small black kitten. As I carried in my bags from the truck, she followed me to the door and when I opened it she peeked in with a curious look.

It was far too late to go looking for her home, so I put my hand down and scooped her up before she had a chance to notice our dog and bolt away. As adorable as she was, I wasn’t keen on taking her in because I’m highly allergic to cats, but there was no way I was leaving her outside with the dangers of traffi c and wildlife around.

Th e sweet little creature was wearing a pink collar with no tags and I couldn’t see a tattoo in her ear. I showed her to my children who had friends sleeping over.

“We saw her out on the road earlier,” they said excitedly. “She’s so cute!”

Immediately loving the new animal in our house, the kids started speculating on her name as I looked at lost and found pages online.

“Can we name her Hiccup?” my daughter’s friend asked. “Or Shadow?” my daughter, Daisy suggested. “Or Pickle?” I

told them they could give her whatever temporary name they wanted and then I started to sneeze. Multiple times. My eyes began to water incessantly and I made the foolish mistake of rubbing them, which only made me feel worse.

“How are you allergic to cats?” Daisy asked. “You used to have them.” She was right; my husband and I had a couple for many years before she was born, and I had one for a long time as a kid. I have no idea how I became allergic to them later in life, but by the time I went to bed my eyes were so swollen, puff y

and red I looked like I’d been crying for weeks. Th e next morning, all crusty eyed, I took

my last allergy pill and continued placing found ads online and reaching out to all the vet clinics in West Kelowna, thinking one of them might have treated our furry friend since her two front legs had been recently shaved. None of them recognized the kitten, but they all shared the found ad to their Face-book walls.

I called the SPCA, and as the lady who an-swered checked their records, I made small talk explaining my allergic reaction and that I’d be taking her to a vet to have her scanned for a microchip. She said they hadn’t had any reports of a lost black cat in our area and then gave me some advice I was shocked to hear: “You can just go on ahead and re-home her then,” she said. “People shouldn’t be letting their cats run loose.”

I assured her I’d keep looking for the owner instead and asked her about the sta-tus of our dog who’s been missing since March, with thoughts of him being re-homed running through my mind. Do peo-ple really do that?

Yes, I found out, they oft en do - and far too quickly.

On Monday someone sent me an ad that was on Craigslist about a dog found at a camp-ground in Oliver. Th e fi nder assumed the ani-mal was abandoned and she was advertising for a new home for her. When I posted the ad to Stolen and Missing Dogs of the Okanagan on Facebook many people made comments about how important it was that she look for the owner and report it to dog control rather than try to adopt out the pup.

Initially she was insistent that the canine had been abandoned by its owners, but there was no proof of that so she eventually took her to

the pound and had her scanned for a microchip. Unfortunatelyshe didn’t have one, but through many people sharing the ad onsocial media, the frantic owner who’d posted about his lost dogseveral times on Facebook was later connected to the fi nder andgot his beloved family member back.

Luckily Oreo hadn’t been relocated to another city like stolendogs oft en are. Without a microchip or a tattoo to identify him asthe owner, he likely never would have seen her again.

As for the kitten I found, her name turned out to be Diamondand she wasn’t far from home. Her owner saw the ad online andcalled me. Th e recently spayed kitty is now back where she be-longs with her very relieved and grateful humans.

Almost all pets found on their own have a family who wantsthem back. Re-homing them before trying to fi nd them doesn’tjust hurt the people involved, but the animals as well. Never as-sume stray, always think lost or stolen.

Keeping pets safe and getting them micro-chipped isimportant.There have been over 90 stolen and missingdogs in the Okanagan area alone in the last 18 months(let alone the hundreds missing from the rest of B.C.,)and that is nothing to sneeze at.

Tatooing and microchipping animals is a good way to identify and preventthe misappropriation of your beloved furry companions.

To give you a quick update, we wanted to let you know that if you weren't at the June "Star Wars" event (which was a big hit thanks to everyone who made it so much fun, especially you costume-wear-er’s out there!,) then perhaps you missed the unveiling of our new 6-month schedule. Please take a look at our new roster for all of the show titles and dates from

July to January. We're back on the big screen on July 30 with Alfred Hitchcock's paranoid, sweltering sizzler "Rear Window" starring James Stewart (who we have not yet had on our big screen) and Grace Kelly. A reminder that for most of our members (unless they were new to the club at the "Star Wars" event,) that the member cards have now expired, and we hope you will renew your membership at one of our upcoming events. So this is just

a reminder that your next ticket cost will be $10, with the annual dues of $2 (one heck of a bargain!) going towards helping us bring in these fi lms and cover some of the costs in our printing/promotional material and fabulous prizes. We have new member cards that are good to the end of June 2016, so come renew soon and then take advantage of $8 show tickets for all of our events for the rest of the 2015-2016 season.

Injured hiker in Manning ParkNews

Mario Levesque, SAR Manager [email protected]

On July 18th , 2015, Hope Volun-teer Search and Res-cue was called by BCAS at 8:40 p.m. to assist with a young injured hiker near Nicomen Ridge in Manning Park. The individual was hik-ing with a group on the Heather Trail in Manning Park.

Princeton SAR was called in for mutual aid due to the ter-rain and distance re-quired to access the young hiker. Hope SAR ground teams set out on Hope Pass Trail in order to try to access the hiker. Aft er coordinating with Princeton SAR it was decided to call off the ground teams and send in a helicopter team at fi rst light.

Chilliwack SAR HETs team and Valley

Helicopters accessed the injured hiker at approximately 6 a.m. in the morning. The helicopter landed at

the Visiting Centre in Manning Park and we assisted with the pa-tient off-loading from the helicopter and

loading into the am-bulance. HSAR was cleared from scene and returned to base at 8:30 a.m.

Hope Volunteer Search and Rescue hits Manning Park with the help of Valley Helicopters to get to the scene as expediently as possible.

CommunityHistory in Hope

Taken from The Hope Standard archives

July 1955

• Fire’s aff ect soil: Fire, besides killing the trees, destroy minerals needed for good tree growth. Some forest soils are so largely humus, and fi res so destructive of the fi -brous content, that all the remain-ing top soil is washed away by the rain.

• Th e Canadian Forestry Asso-ciation, sponsors of British Colum-bia’s popular Junior Forest Warden movement, announced the ap-pointment of the following local youths to the J.F.W. organization in the district, Charles Kerr and Denis Rabitt, both of Hope.

• Sketch plans of the new Hope and District Hospital were sub-mitted to the Hospital Board at a meeting on a Monday night by ar-chitects Andersen and Rymer. Th e plans were thoroughly assessed by the board and all interested rate payers.

• Volunteer Firemen and their wives and families from every town in the Lower Fraser Valley at-tended the annual picnic and had a “rip-snortin,” “hose-squirtin,” good time.

• Almost 150 persons attended Hope United Church’s Loyalty Din-ner, which was held in the Catholic Hall. Th e menu consisted of cold turkey and ham with hot vegeta-bles, followed by apple pie and cof-fee.

July 1965

• Hope Swim Club travelled to Port Moody for a two-day swim meet against Port Moody, Delta, Powell River, Boundary Bay, Port

Coquitlam, Vancouver Parks and Ladner. Hope placed third overall in the competition.

• Th e spring program of explo-ration on Carolin Mines property near Hope was moved quietly but steadily forward

• Hope council proposed to the Union of B.C. Municipalities a win-ter works program that operated in the summer — it was a system de-signed to keep employable persons at work and off welfare.

• Two UBC students, who just wanted to “get away from it all” for a few days, were twice plunged into the icy waters of the might Fraser on a Th ursday aft ernoon, aft er they attempted to run the treacherous strip between Yale and Spuzzum in a canoe.

• Th e mine rescue team from Gi-ant Mascot Mines, which recently took fi rst place in the Central B.C. Mine Rescue competitions was captained by Ron Emery. Team members were: R. Sutherland, N. Dircks, J. Kalfi cs, E. Pellegrino, and A. MacCulloch.

July 1975

• Th e circus was set to come to town where the De Wayne Bros. would erect their Big Top tent at the Cromarty farm in Floods. Th e circus travelled from California through the United States and Can-ada to Alaska.

• Ronald Steuernol, who was once a resident of Calgary, was jailed for fi ve days when he was found guilty in Hope Provincial Court of obtaining a week’s free lodging at the Rio Vista by fraud.

• Th e Salvation Army was re-ported to be taking over the opera-tion of the Hunter Creek minimum security home for juveniles.

• Brenda Merkel was crowned Miss Hope, 1975 at the Miss Hope Pageant at the Legion hall. Merkel was chosen over eleven other con-testants. Linda Sandberg, who completed the term for last years queen-elect Darlene Nellis, was on hand to crown the new Miss Hope. Brenda Merkel was sponsored by the Hope Lions Club.

• Th e Arena Board of Manage-ment planned to attend the next meeting of Fraser-Cheam Regional District to ask that an additional sum of approximately $70,000 be fi nanced through taxation so that the arena could be completely fi n-ished.

July 1985

• Blasting for a new section of Highway 1 at Jones Hill triggered a power failure that aff ected areas from Hope to Lytton. B.C. Hydro district manager Lloyd Hill said fl yrock thrown by the blast “slightly damaged” conductors, causing the long-hour failure.

• Parents and teachers wanted the Hope Area School Board to make its plans and ‘inner workings’ more accessible to the public. A crowd of about 30 people gathered at a board meeting to make a point of it to trustees.

• Fraser Canyon Hospital re-corded a modest surplus in 1984-85 aft er expecting an operating defi cit due to government budget restraint in health services.

• Problems with scaff olding caused the collapse of huge bridge beams on a Coquihalla Highway bridge project near Hope. A report noted that it was a combination of three factors involving the scaf-folds, which are used to support concrete bridge spans.

When it is more than anxiety and depressionOpinion

Dr. David SmithAdolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health.

Last week we talked about the stresses teenagers face as they transition to adult-hood. Adding to that challenging journey, which all teens must make, is the fact that 75 per of all mental health conditions show up in the teen and early adult years.

Today we talk about bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, which tend to first show their signs and symptoms between the ages of 13 and 25. As noted last week, and in all the columns to date: If you are worried that your child or teen may be showing signs of a mental illness, talk to your family doctor, or contact the Child and Youth Mental Health program provid-ed by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in your region. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 for the MCFD of-fice nearest to you.

Bipolar: Originally called manic-de-pression, bipolar disorder is marked by extreme shifts in mood, energy and activ-ity levels, ranging from severe depression on one side to mania on the other.

During a manic episode, the youth will be highly talkative, energetic, full of ideas and enthusiasms, may take risks or behave impulsively, and may even become jittery, sleepless and irritable.

During a depressive episode, the youth is very tired or feels slowed down, is very sad and hopeless, has a hard time concen-trating or making decisions, and may also be restless or irritable.

Different types of bipolar disorder have different extremes in moods and different speeds of cycling between them, but most high or low episodes last several days or longer. Sometimes the extremes in moods can bring on psychosis — losing touch with reality and having hallucinations (hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, or feel-ing things that are not actually there) and delusions (a strong, illogical belief, such as feeling one's actions are being controlled by others.)

Early psychosis intervention, called EPI, is very successful. An EPI program exists in many communities in each health authority in BC,

see earlypsychosis.ca.Bipolar disorder is known to run in

families, but most individuals who have a family member with the disorder will nev-er develop this condition — some other trigger is often needed and research is not yet clear what that is.

Many famous and highly successful in-dividuals have bipolar disorder, in part because the manic phase can produce ex-treme creativity and productivity.

Yet the disorder can cause havoc with family relationships, jobs and fi-nances. Substance use, particularly excessive alcohol consumption, is common with the disorder, especial-ly during a manic phase.

Significant mood changes can be stabilized with various medications,

or their combinations, plus different types of psychotherapy. With long-term treat-ment productive lives can be lived. At-tention to good sleep, healthy diet and exercise, regular routines, and avoidance of mind-altering substances, along with medication and therapy, can minimize the number of mood episodes.

For more information see Mood Dis-orders Association of BC and hereto-help.bc.ca

Schizophrenia: Perhaps no mental health diagnosis causes parents and youth more fear than schizophrenia, which is marked by losing touch with reality and experi-encing hallucination, delusions, disorga-nization and cognitive impairment, such as poor judgement and decision-making. But the outlook need not be bleak: treat-ment works, and recovery and a return to good functioning occurs regularly.

About one per cent of all British Colum-bians have this illness and it affects men and women equally, but first symptoms often appear for men between ages 16 and 20, and women between ages 20 and 30.

While schizophrenia also runs in fami-lies, it usually needs more than just ge-netics to arise, although exactly what else triggers it is not fully known.

Sometimes it occurs in individuals with no family history, perhaps as a result of a subtle or past brain injury.

In the last decade, new antipsychotic medication and the introduction of Early Psychosis Intervention (EPI) programs, noted above, are greatly helping newly diagnosed people with schizophrenia.

Like bipolar disorder, along with the rightcombination of medication, good sleep,healthy diets, regular exercise, establishedroutines and avoiding mind-altering sub-stances will help those with the diagnosislive full and productive lives.

In fact, dynamic and well-spoken indi-viduals like BC's Brent Seal, who was di-agnosed with schizophrenia while a uni-versity student and now runs a companycalled "Seal Wellness" are helping changethe face of schizophrenia.

Seal, a mountain climber, ultra-mara-thoner, wellness coach and inspirationalspeaker, as well as others who are thrivingafter a schizophrenia diagnosis, show thatgood, meaningful lives are possible withthe right treatment.

For more information about schizo-phrenia in BC see earlypsychosis.ca;mindcheck.ca; the BC Schizophrenia So-ciety; and the Canadian Mental HealthAssociation BC chapter.

Dr. David Smith is an adolescent andadult psychiatrist and the medical directorof the Okanagan Psychiatric services for In-terior Health.

Ceremony builds bridges to thepast and between cultures

Th ey’ll be bridging the past and present as well ascultures this weekend at the Spuzzum First Nation FirstFish Ceremony. For the second year in a row, the Spuz-zum First Nation (SFN) will be holding this millennia-old ceremony of thanks and appreciation for abun-dance in their traditional territory at the AlexandraBridge Provincial Park picnic area. SFN Chief JamesHobart says the event is not just a celebration of thenatural resources that sustain us all, but states, “this isalso a celebration of how far we’ve come to preserve andrestore the 1926 Alexandra Bridge, a priceless Canadi-an heritage tourism asset. We’ve made progress and webelieve government is listening to us when we say theAlexandra Bridge is an icon of Canadian transporta-tion and cultural history – the highways equivalent ofthe Last Spike.” Th e First Fish Ceremony on July 25 willfeature speakers and an update of the Alexandra BridgeProject, which is dedicated to making a rejuvenatedbridge a legacy project for the Canada150 celebrations.Th e SFN is one of the lead organizations in the Alex-andra Bridge Project, a coalition of government, com-munity and corporate groups with the common goal ofmaking the preservation of the bridge a legacy projectfor the Canada150 celebrations in 2017. Th e partnersinclude the New Pathways to Gold Society and othercommunity and heritage tourism organizations. ChiefHobart said the historic bridge structure is “the tip of aheritage iceberg” that includes 10,000 years of First Na-tions’ history, the fur trade, Gold Rush and the buildingof the great national railways.

“It’s symbolic of our ability to bridge the diff er-ences between cultures and something worth pre-serving,” he said. Th e celebrations start at 11 a.m.with a welcome to the traditional territory, storiesof the signifi cance of the First Fish Ceremony aswell as the bridge project update.


Aaron Poulin was one of three umpires to be invited to the prestigious tournament

Umping it up at the Pan Am GamesSports

Barry StewartThe Hope Standard

Local elementa-ry school teacher, Aaron Poulin, will have plenty to tell his class when the question is asked, “What did you do on your summer vacation?”

Poulin was one of three Canadian soft ball umpires invited to offi ci-ate the senior men’s matches at the 2015 Pan Am Games in Ontario.

He said he would have liked to be on the fi eld for the gold medal game — but there was a problem: Canada had made it to the fi nal.

“Canadian of-fi cials weren’t al-lowed to be on the fi eld,” said Pou-lin on Monday, shortly aft er arriv-ing home. “I got to work fi rst base in the bronze medal game on Saturday morning. Th ere was lots of action.”

Venezuela beat Argentina 2-0, giving Argentina the bronze med-al — and setting Venezuela against Canada for top honours.

Canada edged out the South Americans 2-1, adding to their medal count at these very-success-ful games.

“Th e fi elds were in excellent shape,” said Poulin of the complex in Ajax, east of Toronto.

“Th ere wasn’t a bad bounce all week. Now they will be legacy fi elds for the future.

“Th e baseball and soft ball fi elds were only a two-minute walk

apart,” he added. “You could hear the crowd when a big play hap-pened at the baseball fi eld.”

Th e Canadian men’s baseball team also won gold, aided by American gaff es in the tiebreaker inning.

Poulin offi ciated at the World ju-nior men’s championship in Argen-tina in 2012, but this assignment was the most prestigious in his 28-year umping career.

“It was a pretty big deal,” said Poulin, who was reffi ng basketball in Victoria when he was invited to attend a soft ball umping clinic.

“I applied in January of 2015,” he said. “Th is is when all applications for Canadian soft ball offi cials are due. I found out in February.”

It wasn’t just a matter of apply-ing, though, added Poulin.

“You have to be internationally certifi ed — and they have a points

system, where you get points for mentoring, attending clinics and umping at the provincial and na-tional levels.”

Offi cials covered positions be-hind home plate and at each base. Th ere was also an “off -fi eld” offi cial in charge of line-up changes.

“I worked in twelve games,” said Poulin. “Pretty much everyone did two games at each position.

“My most exciting game was at

home plate for theArgentina-USAgame on Wednes-day. It was reallyintense, one of themost intense I’veever umpired,”said Poulin. “Ar-gentina lost 3-1but they beatMexico on Th urs-day to get into theplayoff s.”

A change forthis year was theuse of a 20-sec-ond pitchingclock, with thesecond-base offi -cial charged withmonitoring it.

If the pitcherdidn’t deliver theball in the re-quired time, thesecond-base umpawarded the bat-ter with a ball onhis pitch-count.

“Th ere wereone or two viola-tions each game,”fi gured Poulin.“Th e guys werejust getting usedto it.”

It was harder toget used to was thelanguage barrierbetween North,Central and SouthAmerican players,coaches and of-fi cials. Th e umpsfrom Mexico andVenezuela hadno English,” saidPoulin.

“We had off -fi eld translators.

With the players, it’s about themunderstanding the hand signs thatwe use with each call.”

Poulin was able to relax and justbe a spectator at the opening gamesof the women’s tournament, Sun-day, before fl ying home on Mondaymorning. August 6 to 9, he’ll be act-ing as referee-in-chief at the Wom-en’s U-21 Western Canadian Cham-pionships at Soft ball City in Surrey.

Hope resident, Aaron Poulin, attended this year’s Pan Am Games as an official for the men’s softball tournament. Umpire Crew of the first game of the Pan Am Games included —USA vs Dominican Republic (Carlos Falcon, OFU, Gary Skjerven, 3rd base, Aaron Poulin, plate, Edwin Cruz-Cruz, first base, Aaron Burns, 2nd base.

7 OBITUARIES

GILLIS, William “Darrell”

June 16, 1957 - July 4, 2015

Darrell passed away suddenly at home on July 4, 2015. He was the only son of William (Bill) and Violet (Vi) Gillis. He was born in New Westminster, B.C. in 1957 and legally adopt-ed by Bill and Vi at the age of one. He resided in Britannia Beach and went to school in Squam-ish until the age of 16, when he decided to leave and make his mark on the world. He had many interests in life and loved to pass on the knowl-edge of his passions, whether it was tinkering with motors large and small, gold panning, computers, fi shing and espe-cially woodworking. He loved to collect old tools and ma-chines to restore, anything to make him think, scratch his head and give him a chal-lenge. His attention to the smallest detail never wavered, he always gave everything his fullest attention.His closest friends he chose wisely, for they were with him through thick and thin and he remained loyal to them to the end.He leaves behind his wife Sheila, his daughter, Chrysta Dawn and son, Brent William
