O’Mahony given NDP critic role Party leader Adrian Dix makes some assignment changes Robert Freeman Black Press
Chilliwack-Hope MLA Gwen O’Mahony has been named the NDP’s skills training critic, an issue that she campaigned on during the April byelection. NDP Leader Adrian Dix announced O’Mahony’s appointment Wednesday along with MLA Joe Trasolini who won the byelection for the NDP in Port MoodyCoquitlam. Most NDP MLAs will see no

change in their roles, Dix said, but he wanted to make changes that will give O’Mahony and Trasolini “roles in making the case for change” in the next provincial election. He said O’Mahony “campaigned on skills training in the Chilliwack-Hope byelection, and this issue will be a key element in our approach to the economy.” He said Trasolini, given his business background, will have “a key role ... in our dialogue with the
business community on growing investment in the province.” The other announced changes are: Shane Simpson becomes labour critic; Raj Chouhan takes on multiculturalism, immigration and human rights; Doug Donaldson becomes mining critic; Maurine Karagianis takes on the Liquor Distribution Branch; Spencer Chandra Herbert adds the BC Lottery Corporation to his duties as tourism critic; Mable Elmore
takes on the ICBC and deputy critic for finance; Doug Routley adds deputy health critic to his duties as critic for citizens’ services; and Sue Hammell becomes critic for women’s issues, child care and early leaning. Dix said the party is taking a “positive” approach to politics aimed at “re-engaging” the 1.7 million eligible voters who did not vote in the last election. B.C. voters go to the polls next on May 14, 2013.

Sardis man killed in logging truck crash Robert Freeman Black Press
A 43-year-old Sardis man was killed in a logging truck accident Thursday. The BC Coroners Service identified the logging truck driver Friday as Steven James Reid. “Mr. Reid was the sole occupant and driver of a logging tractortrailer which crashed into a large tree at Harrison East Road about 15 kilometres east of Harrison Lake,”
Coroner Barb McLintock said in a news release. She said the Coroners Service and WorkSafe BC continue to investigate the accident. “The BC Coroners Service expresses its condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Reid,” she said. Agassiz RCMP received a call at about 4 p.m. Thursday to attend an accident involving a runaway truck. McLintock said the investigation will include a mechanical inspection of the truck’s braking system.
Fatal fall on the Coquihalla A Merritt man died after falling down a cliff 30 kilometres north of Hope on Highway 5 last Tuesday morning. Police said Steven Robert Thomas, 51, was climbing down the steep embankment

Bring-Your-Own wine arrives in B.C. Black Press
Diners can now bring their own bottle of wine to participating restaurants in B.C. The new Bring Your Own Wine program was unveiled Thursday by Rich Coleman, the province’s minister in charge of liquor regulation. He said it offers patrons the ability to have any wine they want with their dinner and should spur more business for restaurants. A big part of the lure will be the savings – restaurants typically double the price of a bottle from a liquor store – but a big chunk of that will likely be
eaten up by a “corkage fee� restaurants will be allowed to charge for service. Corkage fees might be $15 or more at some restaurants, which will be free to set their own rates or charge none at all. “By allowing people to bring their own bottle of wine into their favourite dining establishment, we’ve provided restaurant owners with a great opportunity to create a new type of dining experience that will further promote our wonderful restaurants here in British Columbia,� Coleman said. Ian Tostenson, president and CEO of the B.C. Restaurant and Food Service Asso-
ciation, predicts most B.C. restaurants will embrace the B.Y.O. option, not just ones that carry small wine selections. “I think the majority of restaurants will do it,� he said. “I think it makes good sense. It is all about hospitality, welcoming guests and creating a good guest experience.� He said $15 to $20 is typical of the corkage fees charged by restaurants in other jurisdictions.

try sales in B.C. Licensees are still liable if patrons are over-served or liquor service is provided to minors. Coleman said B.C. has no plans to broaden the program to beer and spirits. Bring Your Own is the latest in a series of changes to B.C.’s liquor laws. The province is now allowing movie theatres to apply for liquor licences and has also modernized old rules that barred cross-border wine shipments.

There is one area of photography that can be a lot of fun and that is photographing your hobby. Model railroads are especially one that I like. You need to get close to the subject to capture all the detail and maybe some mistakes that you can go back and fix. Lighting also plays an important role. You can use light to cast shadows to convey the time of day. You can colour the light by using inexpensive gels. Use an amber gel for an early morning effect. If you have a lot of buildings that are lit from the inside, set your camera on a tripod and create a night scene, the possibilities are endless. Model aircraft is another great hobby, either the flying kind or the ones you place on display. If you like to create dioramas they offer many possibilities to tell a story in one small scene. You can have ground crew servicing a fighter on the deck of an aircraft carrier, or a tank crew bogged down in the mud. There are many hobbies all with their joys & challenges. If you have pictures of your hobby you can email them to hopepharmasave@hotmail.com, put my hobby in the subject line and we will put them on our web site.

Audit finds private clinics illegally billing patients Jeff Nagel Black Press
Two private medical clinics in Vancouver have been ordered to stop extra billing their patients for publicly insured services after a provincial audit found them in breach of the law. Health Minister Mike De Jong said B.C.’s Medical Services Commission has indicated it will seek a court injunction to enforce compliance if the Cambie Surgery Centre and Specialist Referral Clinic don’t cease and desist within 30 days. The audit concluded extra billing happened in more than 200 cases totaling nearly $500,000. The commission independently enforces the Medicare Protection Act, which ensures B.C. clinics operate in line with the Canada Health Act and that medical care is delivered based on need and not a patient’s ability to pay. “That is the law in British Columbia and we expect every operator to operate within the law,” De Jong told reporters last Wednesday. “The findings today from the medical services commission suggests that in these two instances that has not been occurring.” Former health minister Kevin

New B.C. law targets metal theft Lower Mainland communities hard hit by metal theft are expected to see relief as a result of new regulations effective Monday for transactions involving highvalue metals. B.C.’s Metal Dealers and Recyclers Act will build on bylaws long in effect in a dozen Lower Mainland communities where metal theft remains a public safety concern with a multi-million-dollar tab each year. The first provincial legislation of its kind in Canada, backed by regulations developed this year, is expected to significantly curb the sale of metals stolen in one community and then sold elsewhere, where no local bylaw exists. This provincewide approach focuses on metals and objects typically targeted by metal thieves. These include copper wire - the main target in $10 million
worth of thefts from Telus alone in 2011 - as well as aluminum, bronze, brass, lead, nickel, zinc and magnesium. The regulations also cover specific metal objects like metal traffic control lights, signals and signs, sewer grates and manhole covers, and metal grave makers. Removing the anonymity that allows metal thieves to profit from their activities is a key goal of the new law. Now, those wishing to sell regulated metals must present valid identification. In turn, scrap dealers and recyclers who buy these metals will share purchase details with their local police. Officers will be able to use this information to compare against reports of stolen metal and seek court orders to obtain further information from dealers when required.

Opinion
Disgraceful pensions Who says it doesn’t pay to be a politician? With the B.C. Liberals in a freefall and the provincial election 10 months away, a number of MLAs have decided to leave politics. Much is made by some about the sacrifices made by politicians, of the time spent away from family, of the decision to take a break from their career passion – all to serve the public good. While it is always admirable to see men and women take an active part in the democratic process, make no mistake – it is a decision that often pays dividends far beyond anything a working stiff will ever realize. Surrey-Tynehead MLA Dave Hayer is one of the latest B.C. Liberals to decide against seeking re-election next year. According to Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation (CTF) figures, Hayer’s 12 years in office will give him an annual pension that will start at $47,600 when he turns 65 and climb to $62,900 when he turns 80. The CTF estimates Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Kevin Krueger will enjoy an annual pension of $87,700 when he turns 65, rising to $115,700 when he turns 80. The MLA pension plan is indeed gold-plated as taxpayers chip in $4 for every dollar the MLA contributes. The B.C. Liberals, under then-leader Gordon Campbell, campaigned in the 1996 election against exorbitant pension plans. The NDP won and implemented a reasonable plan, in which taxpayers match every dollar the MLA contributed. In 2007, however, Campbell reversed his position and brought back a ridiculously rich pension, even allowing MLAs to buy back years lost. Political pension plans are a disgrace and do nothing to counter the perception (which is reality) that entering the political arena is the path to setting yourself up for life, with your retirement funded well by taxpayers who can barely get by. – Black Press
Bearing down on irrational fears Andrew

On Point The furor created by an urban bear sighting is really quite something to behold. Now, I don’t mean to be flippant. A bear wandering around a residential neighbourhood is clearly not a situation to be trifled with. However, to those of us who have occasionally encountered the critters in the backwoods, the bear fear factor is likely a degree or two less than the average city dweller. Now, there was a time when I used to be anxious about bears. I once spent the better part of a night huddled in a small tent, listening with dread to something stumbling and snuffling outside. When I finally screwed up enough courage to open the tent door, I was confronted by a curious, clumsy deer

noise wouldn’t have scared a squirrel. Well, that caused me to bang away on that kettle with extreme motivation. The bear shifted its gaze to me, and watched with growing concern. I don’t think it was alarmed by the sound whatsoever. I’m sure it was looking at me and thinking, “That lunatic could hurt someone!” With a final, longing look at my (our) morning meal, he swung his bulk around, and with bruin-like decorum, ambled into the underbrush. It took another few minutes before I ceased my adrenaline-fuelled attack on the kettle, which had been reduced to a crumpled, compacted piece of tin. The deadwood was a shredded stump. My sleepy friends were by now sticking their heads out of tents and trucks, wondering what all the commotion was about ... and when breakfast would be ready. I adopted two important principles that morning. Bacon and eggs take precedent over irrational fear. Bears are afraid of crazy people.

Letters Fundraiser helps local society looked after we still managed to walk away with $125, which we will hand over to Ashleigh at the Fraser Canyon Hospice Society. This is our company’s charity of choice and is very dear to our hearts. The $125 goes a long way in that little society. Anytime you can spread the word about hospice and how it affects you and your family is a good thing – Sunday was just a bonus. And when small businesses can come together in the midst of a busy season and take a “pause for a cause,” it just feels good. Brian McKinney, Hell’s Gate Airtram

Food gleaning in Hope is a sweet deal We are pleased to announce that Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee has just finished picking cherries for Wendy Lucas, who lives on Sixth Avenue in Hope. She has had bears in her fruit trees before and this year she decided, that she wanted the fruit picked instead of have it go to waste or attract bears and donate it to charity instead. When volunteers from HMBBC went canvassing door to door in the spring, she was the first to sign up for the food-gleaning program of Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee. This gleaning program is available to all residents of Hope who have fruit trees, but not enough time or energy to pick the fruit, or don’t want to have the fruit at all. You can sign up ahead of time and let us know what kind of
fruit you have, or just call when your fruit is ripe and you need help. HMBBC volunteers will pick the fruit and 1/3 goes to the tree owner, 1/3 stays with the pickers and 1/3 will be donated to the food bank or any other local charity. One of the great unseen benefits of this program is the removal of the fruit as a bear attractant which greatly reduces the chances of them becoming unwelcome guests in your neighborhood and a safety issue for all. For information about volunteer opportunities with this program or HMBBC , or if you want to schedule a gleaning, please contact Lydia at 604860-4558.

NDP doesn’t have future plan What is it going to take for the provincial media to start asking Adrian Dix and the NDP the tough questions they need to be asked? For that matter, what is it going to take for the media to stop being so angry about the past that they can start to talk about the future of our province and its economic health? Premier Christy Clark does have a clear plan for the future and it’s a good one because she can see the economic crisis that’s coming down the pipe at us two to three years from now. She has already taken steps to ensure that businesses in this province can continue to provide jobs and thrive
when, for example, the inevitable rise in interest rates occurs or when Europe’s economy collapses under the weight of the faltering economies in Greece, Spain, Italy and Ireland. It won’t matter if interest rates rise a half point or 10 points. If the province’s economic health is not good businesses simply won’t be able to afford to keep people employed. Sadly, the NDP is all about now. Their vision doesn’t extend beyond the present even when it’s apparent that the real questions and challenges are lying in wait for us two to three years out.

The B.C. government is demanding extensive pipeline and coastal tanker safeguards as well as a bigger share of cash benefits for the province and First Nations as preconditions for considering any new oil pipeline. The announcement applies not just to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline proposal across northern B.C. to Kitimat but also to the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s existing Trans Mountain pipeline that diagonals southwest through B.C. and runs through the Lower Mainland to a Burnaby terminal. “This isn’t tacit approval of the project,” Environment Minister Terry Lake said Monday, referring to Northern Gateway, which is further in the review process.“These are the minimum conditions we require in order to consider support.” Both projects would greatly increase the ability of oil companies to export crude oil through B.C. and via tanker to Asia, reducing reliance on the U.S. market. The provincial government has found itself caught between a public deeply concerned about spill risks and enormous pressure from Alberta and the federal government to allow a new westward outlet for Canadian oil. “We want a fair share of the benefits in order to be considered partners in a project like this,” Lake said. “Given that British Columbia would shoulder 100 per cent of the marine risk and a significant portion of the land-based risk we don’t feel the current approach to sharing these benefits is appropriate.” He did not spell out B.C.’s price on royalty sharing, but said that would rest on discussions between Premier Christy Clark and the prime minister and premiers of Alberta and Saskatchewan.

He said that result – better than the national average – suggests motorists here on the whole are fairly safe but a few particularly reckless drivers are highly visible. The only area where B.C. scored better than the national average was in littering, which only 43 per cent of respondents here witnessed recently compared to 46 per cent nation-wide. Other findings of the poll found 43 per cent of B.C. motorists said they’ve honked their horn at a bad driver, 27 per cent swore, 18 per cent waved their fist, arm or hands, 16 per cent made an obscene gesture and nine per cent called police.

He said the apparent rate of illegal cellphone use is shocking considering B.C. has outlawed the practice for more than two years. “It’s just bizarre that we keep seeing people using their cellphones,” he said.

Idiotic, dangerous driving seems more prevalent in B.C. than anywhere else in Canada, according to a new poll. The national survey of drivers by Angus Reid Public Opinion found 95 per cent of B.C. drivers spotted others talking on cellphones in the past month, more than in any other region and well above the national average of 90 per cent. B.C. respondents also reported above-average rates of drivers speeding (93 per cent), tailgating (83 per cent), turning without signalling (85 per cent), changing lanes without warning (83 per cent) and running red lights (63 per cent). Seventy-one per cent had spotted a driver multitasking – such as reading, checking text messages or applying make-up – compared to 65 per cent across Canada. And 56 per cent here had seen drivers invade a crosswalk with pedestrians in it, far above the 33 per cent national

Celebrating 50 years of camping fun Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
HAYLEY TARRANT PHOTO
Kari Larson and her son Maerk at Camp Squeah’s 50th anniversary celebration Saturday.
It has been our pleasure working with you over the years.
Camp Squeah has been providing summer programs in the area for five decades. To mark this milestone, the local camp hosted an alumni gathering last Saturday for over 500 families and staff. “Our 50th anniversary celebration was a huge success, exceeding even our highest expectations,” said executive director Rob Tiessen. “The only concern we faced throughout the day, was the fleeting time. Between all the great displays to visit, activities to participate in, great food to enjoy, and all the great people to reconnect with, time to say goodbye came way too soon.” Camp Squeah first opened its doors off Highway 1 in the Fraser Canyon in 1962 with a few cabins, outdoor swimming pool, and
dining hall. Since then, its expanded to include a lodge, outdoor gym, low and high ropes course, rock climbing area, crafts hall, games room, numerous meeting spaces, and an extensive trail system.
“There’s a real legacy of handing things off to the next generation and a desire to be connected that way.” Rob Tiessen
The camp strives to provide a place of refuge for people of all ages to build relationships, grow and explore their faith in an outdoor setting. “It’s a place to get away from the stresses of life and the fast-paced
THANK YOU

frenetic activity that can sometimes overwhelm us, and to get grounded and connected in a loving, supportive environment,” said Tiessen. “We’re finding more now that it’s a necessary gift to give children the ability to come out here and feel comfortable in the beauty of nature.” Camp Squeah, a ministry of the Mennonite Church British Columbia, is a children’s summer camp, yearround retreat centre, and outdoor education facility. Summer camps include children’s programs ranging in duration from three to six days, backpacking trips, and junior and senior leadership training camps, which encourage the development of skills from a servant leader perspective. During the summer, there can be up to 70 staff working every week for 102 campers. Camp Squeah also hosts Camp Skylark every September, a bereavement camp for children sponsored by the Fraser Canyon Hospice Society. Tiessen says for many people, Camp Squeah has been a family tradition. Part of the draw is the relationships that get formed with fellow campers and cabin leaders. “There’s a real legacy of handing things off to the next generation and a desire to be connected that way,” he said. “We just feel blessed to be in this space.”

Summer reading has its rewards pressure. Scissors will unexpectedly sizzle and carbon dioxide will bubble! On Friday, August 17 we will once again welcome pets and their kids into the library for the second annual Pet Parade. How do the clubs work? Each club member chooses a reading goal of a minimum of 15 minutes a day and can read anything at all. Cereal boxes, comic books, graphic novels — you name it! After seven days of reading, club members Deb bring their reading Ireland records into the library to get stickers and reading prizes and the opportunity to enter the draws and candy count contests. For teens, those who read for a week get a chance to win weekly Panago pizza coupons. All teen draw slips are then sent on to our administrative centre to be entered into a larger draw for netbook computers, Chapters gift cards, and more. For
the adults, we’re drawing for gift card prizes every two weeks. All this leads up to the big summer’s end party where we celebrate a summer of reading accomplishments with musician Chris Hamilton and his lively songs for kids. In addition to some of his favourites from his critically acclaimed CDs, Chris will debut a brand-new song written especially for Summer Reading Club 2012. Kids who complete a summer of reading will have medals presented to them by Mayor Susan Johnston. And did I mention there will be ice cream too? So reading over the summer has its rewards! But best of all, summer reading clubs help children succeed academically. In 2010, a three-year study in the United States confirmed children who participated in summer reading programs “scored higher on

Here’s the deal. Joining (and it’s not too late!) any one of the reading clubs at the library this summer means rewards in spades. For starters, it’s a lot of fun. Earlier this month the library was the place to be as we hosted a Trés Fancy Nancy Tea Party as 12 wee ladies arrived dressed in the most elegant of dresses, boas, and tiaras. They then practiced their curtsies, sipped (ever so daintily, of course!) bubble gum tea from real china teacups, and nibbled fancy cupcakes – Oo-la-la! The following week, in our fourth Summer Reading Club 2012 program, Len Stanga of Pangea Arts entertained a full house – over 50 kids and parents – with folktales from Indonesia and Japan. Next month, and as part of the ongoing learning aspect of the reading club, we’ve arranged a Mad Science program on Thursday, August 9. At this program kids and families will discover the cool chemistry behind states of matter and learn the intriguing basics of air
reading achievement tests at the beginning of the next school year than those students who did not participate.” In addition, the study found that those who participated began the next school year with more confidence. It’s cool to be ready for school! On the nightstand: A Century of Wisdom: Lessons From the Life of Alice Herz-Sommer, the world’s oldest living Holocaust survivor by Caroline Stoessinger. This is the fascinating story of 108-year-old concert pianist Alice Herz-Sommer, once a refuge from the Czech Republic. Forsaken Trust, by local (Harrison Lake) writer Diane Wild. Fiction loosely based on her mother’s experiences as a Home Child. A spring author reading in the works! Magnified World, the debut novel by Grace O’Connell. Selected as one of the Globe and Mail’s Fab Five Young Canadian writers, O’Connell’s use of language is both clever and fresh. Loving it.

London summer Olympics live in Hope Inge Wilson Contributor
Last month, staff at the Hope Visitor Centre received numerous inquiries from European visitors — and others —regarding locations where they could watch the various matches of the Euro Cup Soccer competition. Since the Summer Olympic Games in London, England kick off on Friday and run through to August 12, the staff
at the visitor centre has compiled information about where to view the television broadcasts. Visitors staying over in local motels can tune in on their own television sets and RV campers can connect to cable in most of the local campgrounds. If there are campers who wish to view an event in a large group, the new Sunshine Valley RV Resort will open up their new clubhouse facilities for them to use.

at Sunshine Lanes. The location with the longest hours of opening is by far Sunshine Lanes, as they will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 1a.m. daily – except Sundays when they close at midnight. It should be noted that there is no alcohol served prior to 11a.m. Food and beverage locations available to families with sports fans under 19 years of age include one of the official sponsors of the games – McDonalds. They have
two televisions in their seating area (open 24 hours per day) and these sets will always be tuned to the Olympic games. Other restaurant options include the Driftwynd Bistro and the Hope Drive-In & Restaurant. Another choice is the clubhouse at the Hope Golf Course. It has a large television screen and is open 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily and will be offering some Olympic menu specials. The Hope Recreation
Complex on Sixth Avenue is also a good choice for those that wish to view the Olympic Games in a community location that does not require them to make a purchase. The hours of operation of the complex vary throughout the week but will be available from at least 8 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Saturdays plus 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sundays. The large television tuned to the
Olympic coverage will be set up in the hall area by the concession stand (which is now closed for the summer season). It should be noted that travel party members that are not interested in being Olympic spectators can make use of the other facilities in the complex while the telecasts are on. To find out what events are to be televised when, see the Olympic Games viewing schedule at www.ctvolympics.ca.

For travellers just passing through though, the Olympic viewing locations that come to mind right away are those that fans seek out for other major sporting events – namely the local pubs and lounges. Venues for those who are 19 and over include the Silver Chalice Pub, the Gold Rush Pub, the pub at the Hope Motor Hotel, the Royal Canadian Legion lounge, the Fraternal Order of Eagles lounge and the Kingpin Lounge
The new backroom show at Hope Arts Gallery in August will showcase the work of three artists. Raku pottery and acrylic paintings create an interesting and varied exhibit called Forms and Visions. Diane Ferguson and Jan Kinna are the experts in Raku pottery, which originated in Japan over 400 years ago. Raku, translated, can mean either “enjoyment, pleasure, contentment and happiness” or “happiness in chance.” The pottery when fired is unique and no two pieces can ever be exactly the same. Acrylic paints were developed for artist use in the 1950s. They can be used as a watercolour or oil paint technique but once dry, they cant be lifted. They are very durable and versatile. Rebecca Bisette has mastered this modern medium and has put together a collection of paintings for this exhibition. She is a full-time artist who creates explosions of thought, emotion and imagery featuring landscapes, florals and contemporary visions. An artist reception for Forms and Visions will be August 4 from 7-9 p.m.
SUBMITTED PHOTO
Jan Kinna puts newspaper into the reduction bucket after his Raku pottery is taken out of the kiln, which reaches 927 to 1,093 degrees Celsius. The potter pulls the pottery from the kiln and places it in the reduction bucket with newspaper, or other combustibles. The chemical reaction in the bucket produces the metallic colours which are unique to Raku.

Sports Tikwalus Trail offers dramatic canyon views Barry Stewart Hope Standard
BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD
For millennia, First Nations travellers either had to risk walking on catwalks suspended along the Fraser Canyon north of Spuzzum, or take a safer route over the mountains. Modern engineering has now made travelling through the canyon safe and efficient, though the old Tikwalus Trail persists, offering hardy hikers amazing views of the canyon. Here, the Elvis Rocks the Canyon restaurant beckons hungry hikers to come down about 600 metres for a post-hike meal. You’re looking at two-plus hours of downhill from this point on the Bluffs trail.
Officially, it’s a 788 metre gain — from trailhead to high point — but if you consider the dips and doodles, it’s probably a higher overall gain than the world’s tallest building, the 829.84 metre Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai. Google that thing. It’s huge! And that is your hike on the Tikwalus... up and down in six hours, with no elevator. Bring water. There’s more to the hike than hard work, though. Just past one kilometre, there’s a vantage point and the first of eight interpretive signs that tell the rich history along the route. Appreciate the extensive research — and
the effort in getting the signage to the lofty locations. “They were all packed in by manual labour,” says Pearce. No helicopters were used, even for the food cache at the campsite. “The outhouse came in the 1990s,” adds Pearce, “but was repositioned when the campsite was built.” A few minutes after the two kilometre marker, you’ll cross a little bridge over a stream. This is your only easy chance at water, so have a splash and tank up... if you’ve brought some way of treating the water. No one needs “beaver fever.” There are lakes and swamps further up, but you have to work to get to most of them — and this water is clean

Within minutes of one of the Fraser Canyon’s easiest little hikes at the old Alexandra Bridge, the level of difficulty ramps up quickly on the newly-enhanced Tikwalus Trail, which starts 100 meters north of the Alexandra Lodge. Formerly known as the “First Brigade Trail,” the Tikwalus (teek’-wa-LOOSH) route was so brutal that 70 of the 400 pack horses perished — and one of the 50 workers committed suicide, rather than make the return trip to Fort Kamloops. Fair warning, then: this is not a walk in the park — but if you’re in reasonable shape and have a good dose of mental fortitude, the Tikwalus Trail can give you a great sampling of the difficulties experienced by early Europeans, and the First Nations people who developed the route thousands of years ago. During the five to six-hour hike, you’ll see dramatic views of the canyon, amble through stands of ancient cedar and Douglas fir and learn about the history of the trail through the many interpretive signs erected along the path. You get an easy head start, too. You don’t have swim your horses across the Fraser River first. You probably have a warm bed to return to, as well. Just park your vehicle and head up the mountain. This is a thirst-inducing trek, so pack plenty of water or carry a water treatment device. Also consider leaving extra litres of water in your vehicle, for recovery after the hike. I wish I had. The first few minutes on the trail will hopefully have you wondering “what’s so difficult about this?” You’ll soon see. The first section was necessary to connect the parking area to the original trail, says Kelly Pearce, of the Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning. A key feature on the new section is the bridge with the curved logs forming part of the railing. Pearce says a danger tree had to come down and its shape inspired builder Dan Pereda to slice it down the middle and incorporate the pieces into the bridge. Justin Brown and Darwin Baerg worked with Pereda, under contract for Hope Mountain Centre, which supplied some volunteer workers. In 2010, a provincial grant of $98,000 was granted to the partnership of Spuzzum First Nation, Hope Mountain Centre and New Pathways to Gold Society and a month of trail enhancement took place in August and September of 2011. The official reopening was on April 20 this year. Once on the original path, elevation starts to build at a rapid pace. The first two kilometres see a 430 metre lift and it doesn’t let up much after that until you’re past the three kilometre mark.
and cold. This must have been a favourite stop for the two brigades that ventured along this trail and I can imagine the horses and men clamouring for a drink. Water was only one of the horses’ problems, though. Pearce says that there was little for them to forage on in the forest, other than pine needles and cedar boughs. Meanwhile, they were laden down with packs of fur, such as beaver, marten, otter and weasel from the northern regions. “These horses were unshod,” adds Pearce. “I’m not a horse man, but I’m told that this would have been very hard on the horses’ hooves. If they came up lame, they’d be killed — and eaten. Nothing would be wasted. “Overland from the Nicola Valley would have taken several days, at least,” figures Pearce. “The horses would have been starving by then.” For horses of the outgoing brigades, a swim across the Fraser River was soon instore. The first brigade was in May of 1848, so the water would have been in freshet. It only took the Hudson Bay Company one more attempt to realise a better route was needed. Meanwhile, the trail stayed in use by local natives — and by the early gold rush prospectors, before the completion of the Cariboo Waggon Road in the early 1860s. Continuing on the trail, near the three kilometre mark, there’s a great downriver vista at the Chief Pahallak viewpoint. About one hour into the trek, you’ll be into lush forests of cedar and fir. Watch for signs of culturally modified cedar, where bark was harvested by native people. If you’ve been grinding your way along, you’ll reach the junction in about 1.5 hours. My friend, John Koopman and I took the path to the left but we would recommend going right first, if you have time for the whole loop. Going right (north-east), you continue into the forest, getting to a point where you are totally immersed in nature, as it must have been thousands of years ago. On many other parts of the trail, you can still make out the hiss of traffic from the highway or rumbling of trains on the rails. Not here. Enjoy it. Continue on to the campsite, then take the bluffs route back to the junction. Thanks to an earlier forest fire, the view from the bluffs is wide open. You can look down on the Elvis Rocks the Canyon restaurant and dream of how good it would be to sit down and refuel. There’s no easy way there, though. You’ve got a tough couple of hours of downhill ahead of you. This concludes our four-part series on trails in the area, though we’ll be back to cover ongoing developments by the Hope Mountain Centre. Until then: take a hike!

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Georg Paul Brueckert at the Fraser Hope Lodge. Dad had a long and amazing life, one full of its share of success and failures, joys and regrets as he said. He was grateful for all the people who loved him. Our father was a living history book and we are forever grateful for what he shared with us. He was an inventor, creator and curious to the end of his days. He is survived by his wife Cathy and his three children, Daniel, Marianne (George) Preston, and Anita (Grant) Malensek and his many grandchildren. Dad was born in Elsterwerda, Germany in 1921 and he emigrated to Canada in 1951. He met Mom in Windsor, Ontario and they married in 1961 and settled in Surrey, BC. He was a long haul truck driver for much of his life but chose to haul steel locally to be close to home. When he retired he pursued his love of flight and gliding. This is what brought him to Hope. In 1989 mom and he settled in Hope. They made many dear and lasting friends. Dad was an active member of the Hope Gliding Club for many years. We wish to thank the staff and those who visited Dad while he was at Park Street Manor and at the Fraser Hope Lodge. Your kindness and care toward our father was very much appreciated. There will a small gathering held at the family home on July 29th at 11 am for those who wish to share their memories and stories of Dad. There will be no funeral at his request. Internment to follow at a later date. Wir lieben euch, liebe Papa. Sie Sind in unseen Herzen fur immer.

OBITUARIES
McFeeters, Harvey Wilfred Sunrise: Aug. 13, 1934 Sunset: July 10, 2012 Harvey Wilfred McFeeters was born in Beaverdam Alberta on August 13, 1934. He passed away in Hope BC on July 10, 2012. Prayers were held on July 13, 2012 and a Service was held on July 14, 2012. Burial was at Seabird Island Cemetery. Harvey is survived by his spouse: Cindy, daughters: Le-Anne McFeeters, Jennifer McFeeters, Paula Angus, Dawn Angus (Evan), Diane Angus (Steve), Darlene Campbell (Darryl), sons: Oscar McFeeters (Lynn), Shelby Desjarlais (Andrea), brothers: Larry, Harold, sister: Alma and numerous nieces, nephews and grandchildren. Harvey was predeceased by his father: James McFeeters, mother: Adelaid McFeeters, sisters: Flora, Mary, Claudia, Fran, Vick, Lena, Ruby, brothers: Hector, Howard, Ted and granddaughter: Randi Wilson. Harvey raised 2 different families in his lifetime plus several extended family members whether it was full time or part time (summers/holidays). His two families and extended family soon became one. Harvey started his working career in the Great Bear Lake. He joined the labourers union #602 which became local 1611. He helped build the Kent prison, the 2 Chilliwack malls, and the Coquihalla highway. In his last years in the workforce, he worked for Emil Anderson. Harvey was known for his love of sports. He played with great passion whether it was slowpitch / 2 pitch, hockey, badminton, fishing or curling. This is a joke going around that he tried golfing and tipped the golf cart. Harvey was also known for his umpire skills. He was the ump that you loved to hate as he let you know in no uncertain terms who was in charge. Harvey won several medals and trophies in his lifetime. The most important medal he deserves is for his love of family, eg: children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Included in his family are his family on the ball field, ice, badminton courts and the river. You loved Harvey and he loved you. Thank you to those who helped Harvey in his 4 years of illness, eg: staff of the Fraser Canyon / Surrey, Abbotsford cancer clinic, family and friends. Special thanks to Dr. Green, Murakami clinic, Lori Epp, Adrian Angus, Bruce (Spider) McDonald, and Seabird Island band for the special attention you gave Harvey.
