School district enrolment drops Changing community demographics a major factor
Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Fewer elementary school students are entering local classrooms this year. The latest headcount shows overall enrolment in the Fraser-Cascade school district has declined four per cent from 2011, with the majority of registered students in Grades 8-12. “We still have bigger classes in high schools than what we’re enrolling in kindergarten,” said secretary
treasurer Natalie Lowe-Zucchet. “The drop is a little more severe than I thought it would be, but it has been an ongoing trend. We had forecast this several years back, and anticipate this is going to continue for the next few years and start leveling out in about 2016.” The preliminary enrolment figures released on Monday show 1,822 students are registered this year, down 75 from the same time last year. Lowe-Zucchet attributes this change to families moving out
of communities in the district. “Obviously it’s been an ongoing challenge for the board,” she said. “Their concern of course is still providing quality education and making sure that we have the resources we need. They’ve done their advocacy in terms of making sure that some of the funding is maintained.” This year’s budget is projected at $21.6 million. Lowe-Zucchet said government funding was reduced by about $300,000 this year, but was
“easily absorbed” by the significant decline in enrolment. “Right now I think everybody feels a little bit like we’re underresourced or underfunded, but it’s not like we can’t make it happen,” she added. “Over the years we have cut back a little bit on programs and services, but we’ve tried to maintain levels. I’m hoping parents won’t see a change in the classroom this year.” Final enrolment numbers will be released in mid-October.

Bray’s family is trying to raise awareness about her recent eviction from Lismore Trailer Park “for cause.” Landlord Gordon Liske said he “offered a formidable solution to Mrs. Bray whereby she could remain in her home …(however) Mrs. Bray refused to accept the landlord’s solution.”
The lyrics celebrate the truth, beauty, freedom, and love of silliness that is characteristic of children. Goodgame has released six solo recordings, and written numerous songs for other artists, including Veggie Tales and the award-winning band Caedmon’s Call.

Accompanied by a full police escort, the 26-member team was joined by alumni rider Brian Thombum to raise money for childhood cancer research and support programs for kids affected by cancer. They stopped at Hell’s Gate Airtram, Elvis Rocks the Canyon Cafe, Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park rest area, and Barry’s Trading Post in Yale before ending the day at the fire hall in downtown Hope. The Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer campaign has raised $27 million in B.C. since it began in 1997. Donations are invested in pediatric cancer research and allow the society to operate support programs that improve the lives of children with cancer, survivors and their families. They are also used to provide financial aid for travel, accommodation and cancer drugs.

Hope Arts Council merges with gallery The Hope & District Arts Council (HDAC) has amalgamated with the Hope Arts Gallery. Earlier this year, members of the Hope Artists Guild voted to dissolve their society and become council members. The amalgamation of HDAC and the gallery is an administrative change with the intention of revitalizing the gallery by broadening the volunteer base and increasing opportunities for funding. Hope Arts Gallery opened in 1998 with 12 members and now has over 25, who showcase their art and volunteer to run the gallery. Monthly exhibits, in diverse mediums, are held in the Backroom Show to celebrate local and regional artists. Additionally, the gallery exhibits and sells paintings, raku pottery, photography, weaving, knitting, fabric arts, turned wood work, a variety of jewelry, pine needle baskets, natural wooden wall art, mixed media and much more. All work is original and handmade. The gallery also offers a large selection of prints and original cards.

Inspection of the tongue is still a part of a regular medical or dental examination. This goes back to the days of early Chinese medicine and began to be done in Western medicine in the 18th century. By observing the texture, colour and appearance of the tissue can signify medical problems and stimulate further investigation. The middle ear contains the smallest bone in the human body. It’s called the stapes (stirrup)and is 0.1 inch long. It is linked by tiny joints to two other bones called the malleus (hammer) and
the incus (anvil). The common names in brackets indicate their shape. These three bones are instrumental in conducting sound to our inner ear. They are delicate and fragile. Treat them with respect. With diabetes on the rise in North America, many people are prediabetic and don’t know it. To detect this, your doctor can order a fasting blood glucose test for you. If you are pre-diabetic, exercise and weight-loss are the best solutions. This condition doesn’t necessarily progress to diabetes. You can change your future.

City councils call for pot decriminalization
Tom Fletcher Black Press
After a passionate debate and a close vote, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention passed a motion last week calling on the federal government to
decriminalize marijuana. The UBCM placed major emphasis on the debate this year, staging a debate featuring former B.C. attorney general Geoff Plant, in favour of loosening pot laws, and University of the Fra-
ser Valley criminologist Darryl Plecas opposed. After a lineup of speakers on the impact of marijuana grow-ops on communities and crime impact, a show of hands by hundreds of delegates supported the call for de-
criminalization. Metchosin councillor Moralea Milne reminded delegates that Plant termed pot prohibition “a disastrous and expensive failure of public policy.” She said more than 500,000 B.C. residents

have smoked marijuana, but she doesn’t support its use. “Personally I’d rather have a martini, and I’m allowed to, because we changed that very wrong prohibition stance that we had,” Milne said. Okanagan-Similkameen area director Tom Siddon, a former federal cabinet minister, said his local police reject decriminalization. “I think we’ve been frying too many brains,” Siddon said. “It’s going to aggravate the temptation of young people to move from marijuana, which may well be more harmless than a few bottles of beer, to being hooked on heroin, cocaine and the chemical designer drugs.” Prince George city councillor Brian Skakun drew laughter with his comment: “I tried it when I was younger, I turned out OK.” Turning serious, he said the costs extend to police and courts weighed down with marijuana cases rather than “real criminals.” Abbotsford councillor Henry Braun agreed with Siddon. “We produce about 1.5 million pounds of marijuana in British Columbia,” Braun said. “We consume about 185,000 pounds, so the vast majority of marijuana is being exported to the U.S. and other places.” Port Moody councillor Bob Elliott said his “quaint, safe city” has seen three gang-related murders in the past six months. He pleaded for support for decriminalization. Coquitlam councillor Terry O’Neill called decriminalization “the worst of all worlds,” protecting people from simple possession charges while leaving large-scale growing and sales in the hands of criminals. Nelson councillor Robin Cherbo said sparing young recreational users from prosecution is worth it, and even outright legalization won’t stop the criminal trade as long as pot remains illegal in the U.S. Cariboo Regional District director Joan Sorley reminded delegates that grow-ops are destructive to communities and dangerous to police and fire departments. “They’re huge operations,” Sorley said. “If we decriminalize it, we take away the tool that the RCMP has to try and shut them down and help keep our neighbourhood safe.”

Identity and financial fraud are growing trends in the Hope area, ill-willed people get hold of your personal identification, such as a drivers licence, passport, CareCard or credit card, and use this information to fill out false credit applications. Police often see these items stolen from vehicles that are left insecure or that are broken into by individuals that look for easy targets. Let me give you an example. A wallet is left in a vehicle with the doors unlocked and it is stolen. A credit card is opened in your name and used to purchase several thousand dollars worth of items. You may not be aware of this until you need to purchase a big item and have a credit check done and find out that your credit is poor. You can spend years trying to resolve these issues with the credit companies and Equifax. A simple way to protect yourself is to secure your vehicle when you’re not in it, secure any valuable items in your trunk, keep valuables out of sight or take them with you. Remember, it’s always important to report suspicious activities when you see them. In a small community like Hope, the public may have a fear of getting involved for different reasons and Crimestoppers can be a way of providing this information with anonymity. When the crime is reported when it happens, the police have a better chance of locating the person responsible for the crime. Please help us combat these crimes by doing what you can to make it harder on the criminals.

Stewards of our waterways Creeks and rivers support an interdependent web of life and we damage them at our peril. For much of the last century, we have done everything imaginable to destroy these critical waterways — burying them, altering their course, polluting them, diminishing their capacity to support life. It’s a wonder we still have functioning creeks and rivers and to which exhausted salmon still return to spawn. Nature’s resilience can explain why our creeks and rivers still teem with life. But there have been efforts made over the years to improve things and some humans deserve credit. Thanks to streamkeepers and other stewards, there are more kilometres of life-supporting habitat along these waterways and more fish in the once sterile creeks. Thanks to wise lawmakers, there are more regulations requiring industry to minimize the impact of develop-

Leaders’ spin contest end in tie
Tom Fletcher The Union of B.C. Municipalities convention is the political event of the year for B.C. party leaders, especially heading into a provincial election. Up first was NDP leader Adrian Dix, who drew a large crowd of local politicians last week for the traditional early-morning spot that follows a long evening of receptions. In contrast to his debut last year, a typical litany of political attacks on the B.C. Liberals, Dix declared he would take the high road. And perhaps mindful of Carole James’ downfall after her content-free speech to the 2010 UBCM convention, Dix set out policies. He told delegates an NDP government would restore local au-

ment and resource extraction on waterways, and cities are taking more responsibility and using best practices to protect waterways. Even the public is getting involved by cleaning up garbage during the Shoreline Clean-up, removing invasive species, planting native species and raising cain when problems arise. All it takes is one dumb or thoughtless move or a change in government or social attitudes, and all that hard work protecting our waterways can disappear. We should make time to learn about our nearest creeks and rivers and take a walk along them, observing how they still bear life despite their proximity to industry and development. True, they are under threat day by day, but if each of us becomes a responsible steward, they have a greater chance of surviving into the next century. – Black Press
thority over Metro Vancouver transit (no more toothless “mayor’s council”) and mountain resorts (no more Jumbo ski resort permits issued over local objections). Dix would also let communities decide if they want public-private partnerships for large construction projects. (Federal Heritage Minister James Moore later noted that if communities or provinces wish to decline federal funds due to this ideology, they are free to do so.) Then Dix accused the B.C. Liberals of cutting forest inventory spending by 77 per cent over the last decade, meaning decisions like rebuilding the Burns Lake mill are being made “in the dark” for the first time in a century. That’s a damning charge, so I checked it against forest ministry budget records. As with all government programs, accounting changes can give a misleading appearance of large cuts or increases

spending been slashed as Dix claims? No. It has increased. Next up was Premier Christy Clark, in full campaign mode. In the Gordon Campbell tradition, she brought the goodies out in her speech to close the convention. More than $200 million has been scraped together to “accelerate” capital projects at schools, hospitals and other facilities across the province. These projects were already on the books, but they’ve been moved up for obvious political purposes. Or at least the announcements will be moved up. Four-laning of the last narrow stretches of the Trans-Canada Highway east of Kamloops will continue over 10 years. This is a federal-provincial project that will eventually be finished regardless of who is governing in Victoria or Ottawa.

ing Horse Pass, a short section that could require two tunnels and up to 12 more bridges. Clark also announced a longrange plan to replace the George Massey tunnel under the Fraser River. It will likely be a bridge, because the tunnel is a bottleneck not only for Highway 99, but also for large ships going up-river. This is another project that will proceed eventually, and there is no specific financial commitment yet. I haven’t found any outright false claims in Clark’s presentation, just the kind of creative accounting and blacktop politics familiar to B.C. voters.

As everyone in Hope knows, there was a time when there was no means of transport available in Hope, except for taxis. This was “Tough Luck” for any senior who lived alone and lost their driving licence. The same for senior couples when both could no longer drive and again the same for people with disabilities. However, thanks to a small group of concerned citizens, an organization was formed named Care Transit. Primarily there were only two drivers with the necessary qualifications and the aim was to arrange transport for seniors who had medical appointments in Hope or down the valley. Recently, more volunteer drivers have been recruited and services have been significantly extended. The drivers are carefully chosen, have clean driving records and have passed the appropriate proficiency tests for the job they are doing. There are two methods of transportation. One is a small 12-seater bus with space for two wheelchairs. The other is by car.
The drivers donate their time and the use of their cars. They are paid milage for the journey. Here are some of the services now available: q A seniors morning in Hope (The first Monday every month 10 a.m. to 1 p.m): This will allow you to do your banking, your mail, and pick up items you need from the stores. You will notice that this trip has been arranged on the day that Fields and several other businesses offer a senior’s discount. When you have finished your errands, you may be inclined to finish up your morning by having coffee or lunch with a friend before taking the bus home. The bus will pick you up and take you home. You must purchase a $3 travel card from Care Transit, located at Trails Crossing Friendship Centre on Wallace Street. It is wise to book your trip early as the bus has limited capacity. q Cottonwood Mall (The last Wednesday of every month): The trip to Cottonwood Mall will cost each rider $12 fro the return journey. By the way, there is a pedestri-
an crossing from the mall that will take you past Mark’s Work Wearhouse to the Superstore. There is also a pedestrian crossing from the mall to stores such as Winners, Reitmans and Safeway. By walking a little way up the road past Wendy’s, you can use another pedestrian crossing to safely reach Canadian Tire. This trip picks up at 8:30 a.m. and returns from Cottonwood Mall at 2 p.m. Again, book early. q Cascades Casino in Langley (Sunday, Oct. 14): Leaving Hope at 11 a.m. Leaving Langley at 5 p.m. Cost of return journey $23. This trip can be repeated if there are enough people to fill the bus. This is the situation at the moment. So, get together with your friends and support these efforts to make our lives easier, more interesting and comfortable. It takes considerable planning and effort to arrange these trips. If they are well supported, there may be more! Those you don’t use, you may lose as it will appear that the effort is not worthwhile. Shirley Carlisle
Apologies to council needed Re: New bridge slated for Hope (Sept. 26) It was so nice to read that there is ample money left over from the Kawkawa Lake Bridge budget surplus to fund the new Suckers Creek Bridge. The replacement of this bridge is needed just as much as
the Kawkawa Lake Bridge was. My hope is that those of you who were so vocally opposed to the construction of the Kawkawa Lake Bridge and who called into question the integrity, thinking and intentions of then mayor Laurie French and council, and forced a referendum
at our (the taxpayers) cost, will be just as vocal in their apology to Mr. French and council as the proof of their honesty and integrity is now obvious to all. I don’t expect that there will be any apologies, but I sincerely hope I am wrong. Mike Adams

I hope you had a good and relaxing summer and a successful gardening year. With all your help and support it was a good year for the community garden. The watering plan worked well. We were able to donate 10 times the veggies (peas, onions, beans, zucchinis, carrots, broccoli, kale and kohlrabi) to the food bank. Thank you members for all your help, especially to Bob who was mowing the grass all summer long, and to Ruth, Scotti and Emily who helped harvesting veggies for the food bank almost every Wednesday. Emil Anderson and the Ministry of Transportation are coming in the first week of October to do some work. Please clean up your plot before winter. If you want to stick with your plot next year, you could plant garlic or corn lettuce or leave your kale over the winter in the ground. Esther Brysch, garden coordinator

Welcome to Hope, B.C., the set to one of the biggest blockbuster movies in the world; First Blood. In the fall of 1981, Hollywood moved into our community, and for two months took over our streets, dropping over a million dollars into our local economy. Stars became “locals” and locals became “stars.” Everyone who lived in Hope at that time has a story to tell; many will be here to share their stories at the 30th anniversary celebration. To this day, Rambo: First Blood inquiries stand atop as one of the most requested topics by travellers at our Visitor Centre. brian mckinney On behalf of myself and the Hope First Blood Committee (Riley Forman, Tyler Mattheis, Inge Wilson, Dagmar Lucak and Damon Shelton), we welcome fans from near and far to celebrate 30 years of a movie that revolutionized the film industry in British Columbia.

First Blood origins David Morrell First Blood Author It’s amazing how the film adaptation of my novel First Blood continues to gain in stature. Over the years, its realism intensifies, especially because its emphasis on character and its absence of computer effects contrast markedly with the com-
ic-book nature of current action films. My novel was published in 1972 and changed the way thrillers were written. In 1982, the film explored new territory also. Born and raised in Canada, I’m very pleased that the beautiful vistas of Hope, British Columbia were used for this film about an American icon.

30th Anniversary of Rambo: First Blood October 5- 8, 2012 • Hope, B.C.
First Blood experience lives on
Inge Wilson Hope Visitor Centre Manager When it was first announced in the fall of 1981 that Hope had been chosen as a filming location the community was suspect, to say the least. Many local residents were quite vocal in their skepticism about Hollywood even considering Hope … especially for a film that was budgeted at $14 million and featured Hollywood superstar Sylvester “Rocky” Stallone. All the talk of increased employment and the injection of millions of dollars into the community was scoffed at. Yet construction began on the Sheriff’s building in Memorial Park soon after. Carpenters also went to work constructing the Outpost gun shop and Seneca gas station. Once the buildings took shape, the com-
munity started to take this Rambo picture a little more seriously. Slowly Hope was transformed into a little American town. A large U.S. Army recruitment billboard was constructed. American postal boxes were placed on street corners and neon beer signs promoting Budweiser and Miller were hung in restaurant windows. Crews began arriving a week before filming and Hope was abuzz with star sightings. One Hollywood icon seen walking around town was Kirk Douglas. Then 48 hours before the start of production, Douglas quit and left town over creative script differences. Gossip spread through the community. Would this delay production? Would the movie fold up its tents and go home? But filming started on schedule and the Hope weather turned wet and cold, exactly what the producers were looking for. Locals meanwhile were delighted to stand for hours behind yellow tape hoping to catch a glimpse of the movie stars. Stallone didn’t disappoint them and kept the crowd entertained between takes by coming out the front door of the sheriff’s building wearing deer horns and different hats on his head. In October 1982, almost a year later, the movie was finally scheduled to be released and everyone was ea-
ger to see how Hope looked on the big screen. New releases traditionally didn’t come to Hope for a month or two, but the Hope Theatre owners agreed to book First Blood for opening night. Every seat was filled with wide eyed, enthusiastic fans. When the movie began everyone cheered and laughed at what Hollywood had done to our little town, but at the end of it all everyone agreed that it was an experience of a life time. Still, some old-timers remained skeptical as to the impact or significance of all this show business nonsense. To date, the worldwide box office gross for First Blood is now
over $125 million and Rambo has become an iconic cultural phenomenon on par with Tarzan and Superman. And year after year, First Blood fans flock here from around the globe to visit the big screen birthplace of John J. Rambo. In July 2011, about 2,000 of them came here to say a final farewell to the “Rambo Bridge” over the Coquihalla River. This year marks 30 years of cheering on the underdog in his rampage for justice and Hope is still reaping the economic rewards of this movie magic. In Rambo’s own words – “nothing is over.”

Sports Koopman a new trainer at Abbotsford rink The former Hope Minor Hockey player shares on-ice experience
Barry Stewart Hope Standard
BARRY STEWART / THE STANDARD
Former Hope Minor Hockey player Kevin Koopman has recently been hired as head trainer at the Abbotsford Training Rink on South Fraser Way.
offs in my life and I was pretty sure I’d lost both of them. But I told him that I’d call my friend and get some pointers.” The friend happened to be Kyle Turiss, who had a break-out year with the Ottawa Senators last year, after holding out for a trade from Phoenix. “Kyle gave me some good pointers and I was able to help the kid,” says Koopman. “It was hard for him to argue, when the tips were coming straight from Kyle.” In addition to the ice surface, the facility also has a skate mill — a plastic treadmill
for skating on. “It’s great for all levels of skaters,” says Koopman. “We have cameras at different angles for video analysis.” While mirrors would give instant feedback — and be instantly broken by flying pucks — the video allows Koopman to rewind the tape and go frame by frame to show the skater where improvements are needed. “We also want the skater to get a kinesthetic feeling for what it should feel like to be in the right body position,” he says.
Unlike skating on the ice, there’s no gliding on the skate mill. If you stop striding, you’ll be hanging in suspension by your safety harness. “NHL players are good at shooting while they are skating, while average players like to glide before they shoot,” says Koopman. “The skate mill forces you to shoot while skating.” Koopman is usually on-site from 1-8 p.m., Monday through Friday. You can reach him at 604-852-3080, or by email at Kevin@abbotsfordtrainingrink.com.

It’s hard to find a good phone booth these days, especially one with ice in it — but if you want to learn how to stick handle in tight situations, former Hope Minor Hockey player Kevin Koopman might have a solution for you: smaller ice. Koopman recently picked up a job as assistant trainer at the Abbotsford Training Rink, a small-ice facility on South Fraser Way. When the head trainer left to pursue other opportunities, Koopman was offered a quick upgrade and he started his new role in September. The former BCHL defenceman and 2006 draft pick of the Ottawa Senators had just finished four years of pre-med studies at Brown University in Rhode Island and was hoping to land a junior research position, while taking a year off to apply for medical school. “The trouble with entry-level research jobs is that they don’t pay very well,” says Koopman. “I was looking at one in New York and it was paying $15 an hour — but the rent was $1,100 a month, minimum. “I cast a pretty wide net for jobs over the summer and my wife, Devin, found this one on Craigslist,” recalls Koopman. “I applied and within about 10 minutes, they said I had the job if I wanted it. “Ralph Vos was the head trainer at the time and I had trained with him when I was 13 and 14 years old.” When Vos moved on, Koopman was elevated to the top spot and he is now in charge of planning lessons and camps. He also gives one-on-one and small group lessons. “I’d say our rink is about 60 per cent of a regular rink size,” figures the Hope Secondary grad. “The main use for the rink is for three-on-three hockey. It’s good for getting kids used to working in a confined space, which forces them to make quicker decisions. Small rinks are hugely popular in the Toronto area. “They really develop the learning curve of a player,” he contends. “On a large-sized rink, a kid can’t understand why he needs to pass more quickly, because there’s so much time and space.” While Kevin has been a defensive specialist throughout his career, his years in elitelevel minor hockey at the Burnaby Winter Club and junior hockey have given him some valuable connections to draw on for offensive skills training. “One dad called me and said he noticed that I was a defenceman — but his son plays center and he wondered if I’d be able to help the kid with his face-off skills,” says Koopman. “I told him I’d taken maybe two face-
