Abdol Vahimi from Port Coquitlam fishes for Chinook and pink salmon off the banks of the Fraser River near Highway 1 exit 170 on Tuesday morning. There’s been no commercial and sport fishing for Fraser sockeye this summer, with no prospect for any unless the main summer run merely turns out to be late in arriving.
Fraser sockeye run threatened Jeff Nagel Black Press
Lower-than-hoped returns of Fraser River sockeye and dangerously hot water temperatures upstream have prompted fishery managers to curtail test fishing in a bid to let as many salmon spawn as possible. About 82,000 sockeye have already been caught through test fisheries and those salmon are sold to help offset the $1.4-million cost of the test program, which is critical to gauging the
strength of incoming runs. Pacific Salmon Commission chief biologist Mike Lapointe said Wednesday about half of test fishing operations have now been cancelled. And three seine boats that continue to test fish offshore are now ordered to release nearly all sockeye after counting them instead of harvesting them. “We’re trying to be good citizens and minimize our impact,” Lapointe said. Asked why test fishing wasn’t adjusted earlier, he said the commission

acted quickly once it became apparent continued hot, dry weather would pose a major risk. “As soon as we knew we had a bad situation we acted as fast as we could,” Lapointe said. “Ideally, in perfect hindsight, it would have been nice if we could have stopped sooner but there was no way for us to anticipate that.” Although the test fishing program is $200,000 short of the revenue to cover its expenses, Lapointe said conservation, not budget concerns, guid-

ed the timing of the decision. Sto:lo fishery advisor Ernie Crey said first nations have argued for catch-and-release test fishing for years, adding it would have reduced pressure on threatened Fraser stocks. “Far more fish would have been up the Fraser River in all the intervening years,” Crey said. “It’s better late than never. Finally they do the right thing at a time when fish runs are perilously low.”

A local resident is in the running for this year’s amateur photographer of the year. Over 70 contest finalists gathered at the 51st annual Abbotsford International Airshow last weekend to snap their best shots, including Hope’s very own Dennis Conrad Cronk. “It was quite spectacular,” he said. “Being in a position where I got to represent our town, I was quite overwhelmed. But I think I did our town proud. I’m quite ecstatic about that.” This year’s Abbotsford International Airshow featured a salute to the Royal Canadian Air Force which first came to Abbotsford 70 years ago. Along with the popular static display, the show featured flying performances by the Canadian Forces Snowbirds demonstration team, the CF-18 Hornets demo team, the Skyhawks (Canada’s parachute team), civilian performers, aerobatic flying and a crowdpleasing jet car. Finalists submitted photos in three categories: best in-air photograph, best ground/static scene, and best crowd scene. “Having my pictures represented with a lot of other great photographers, I’m kind of humbled by it,” said Cronk. “It’s very rewarding. The experience is more than enough winning.” The contest is sponsored by London Drugs, Black Press and the Abbotsford International Airshow. Finalists are competing for over $2,000 in prizes and the title of this year’s amateur photographer of the year. Results will be announced at the beginning of September. Readers also have the chance to vote for their favourite photograph in the People’s Choice Awards at abbynews.com/ contests. PHOTOS BY DENNIS CONRAD CRONK

Measles case rise in eastern Fraser Valley Fraser Health’s chief medical health officer is warning about the rise in measles cases in the eastern Fraser Valley. Dr. Paul Van Buynder said the most recent case involves up to 60 women and newborns in a post-natal unit at Abbotsford Regional Hospital being exposed to the virus by a visitor who was in the early infectious stage at the time. Public health staff are contacting the affected families directly to offer immunoglobulin to reduce the chance of the infection developing. “The exposure of newborn children to this virus is a very concerning situation. They are too young to respond to the vaccine and some will not have received protection in utero from their mothers,” Buynder said. He said this comes after a recent death of a child from pertussis, another vaccine-preventable disease.
“It is a timely reminder that In June of this year, health not vaccinating children can officials issued a similar warnhave consequences for other ing for Metro Vancouver. vulnerable infants.” He said the most effective Buynder said he encourages protection against the virus is everyone who has not yet been two doses of the vaccine, which vaccinated against measles to is free to all those born after contact their 1957. doctor or If residents health prosuspect they “The exposure of vider to rehave been ceive the free exposed or newborn children to vaccine. have develthis virus is a very Commuoped sympnities that toms, they concerning situation.” could be should see impacted their doctor Dr. Paul Van Buynder include Aband notify botsford, the office beMission, fore arriving Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison in order to prevent the spread Hot Springs and Hope. of the disease to others at the Buynder said relatively low clinic, he added. immunization rates in some Measles (red measles) is an parts of Fraser East have led to illness caused by the measles several clusters of the virus in virus.

Symptoms of measles include fever, cough, runny nose, and red and inflamed eyes (often sensitive to light). These are followed by a rash, which starts first on the face and neck, and spreads to the chest, arms and legs, and lasts at least three days. Among the most serious potential complications is brain inflammation (encephalitis), which occurs in approximately one in 1,000 cases. Other complications, such as pneumonia, are common. Measles can cause brain damage, blindness and deafness. Approximately one in 3,000 cases are fatal. For more information on measles, call HealthLink BC at 811.

River water temperatures proving deadly From 1
There’s been no commercial and sport fishing for Fraser sockeye this summer with no prospect for any unless the main summer run merely turns out to be late in arriving. Lapointe said there are some signs that may be the case. But even then, deadly high river water temperatures of more than 21 degrees now threaten to kill up to 70 per cent of incoming sockeye before they can spawn, meaning many more must be allowed to swim upriver to compensate. “We’re expecting only on the order of a third of these fish to survive their journey up the Fraser to the spawning areas,” Lapointe said. As a result, he said, there’s a “significant risk” that no more sockeye may end up spawning

“We need a significantly larger run to get to any kind of harvestable surplus because the river conditions are so bad.” Aboriginal food fishing has also been halted after a catch of about 270,000 sockeye, mainly from the early summer and early Stuart components of the run that had come in a bit stronger than expected. It now looks like this year’s total Fraser River run will fall well short of the forecast of roughly 4.6 million but better than the 1.6 million return of 2009 when more than 10 million were expected. There may be commercial, aboriginal and sport fishing for Fraser pink salmon – which are expected to arrive strongly in September – but that could also be reined in if there’s a risk of late-running sockeye being caught as a bycatch.

More than 100 gold panning enthusiasts will be heading to Boston Bar next weekend for the annual Fraser River Gold Panning Championships. The event continues to grow every year, with panners travelling from around the country and as far away as the Netherlands to participate. Event organizer Dan Moore, who is better known as Yukon Dan, attributes the increased interest in panning to the spike in gold prices and reality television series. “It’s family fun and family-orientated,” he said. “Everybody has a great time and everybody goes home with gold.” Participants will compete in several different events to see who can recover a predetermined amount of gold flakes from a bucket of pay dirt the fastest. Categories include children, mini-miner, teens,

adults, three-person fun team, blindfold, hand and hand, and a grudge match. A new open panning event has also been added this year, which allows panners to use any style of gold pan. The Fraser River Gold Panning Championships kicks off with two days of workshops and demonstrations in Yale. Free gold panning will be held
Aug. 22 and Aug. 23 from 1-4 p.m. on the Fraser River. There will also be free metal detecting for children and teens on the Friday night. The competition gets underway on Aug. 24 at 9:30 a.m. with opening ceremonies. The top third in each category move on to the Sunday finals. All beginners will get a professional pan-
ner as a coach and every child that enters the competition receives a new gold pan and bag of pay dirt. Numerous prizes will be up for grabs, including chainsaw carvings of gold miners and pieces of amethyst from Brazil with mining scenes depicted on them. Every competitor will also leave with a gold nugget. Moore said he’s giving away more than $3,000 in gold at the competition. The Fraser River Gold Panning Championships will be held Aug. 24-25 at Anderson Creek Campground, located about one hour north of Hope on Highway 1. This year’s gold event sponsors are the Association of Mineral Exploration British Columbia, NewGold, Placer Gold Design, and Yukon Dan Gold Panning in the Classroom.

Bail granted for Dustin Moir Vikki Hopes Black Press
One of two men previously convicted of murdering 14-year-old Chelsey Acorn of Abbotsford has been granted bail while he awaits his new trial. Judge Brian Joyce ruled Tuesday in B.C. Supreme Court in Chiliwack that Dustin Moir, 27, be released from prison on a $200,000 surety. This means another person will be responsible for paying the sum if Moir breaches any of his court-ordered conditions. Moir was convicted in February 2010 of the 2005 first-degree murder of Acorn and received a life sen-
tence with no chance of parole for 25 years. He appealed the decision, and his conviction was overturned in January of this year on the basis that the trial judge erred in some of his instructions to the jury. A new trial has been ordered and is expected to begin in the fall of 2014. Joyce’s reasons for granting bail cannot be revealed due to a publication ban. Moir, wearing red prison garb and sporting a buzz cut, was present for the ruling, but showed no reaction. Two of his supporters in the courtroom broke down and hugged when the decision was read.
Moir’s conditions of his release include that he be on good behaviour, reside with his wife, abide by a daily curfew of 9 p.m. to 6 a.m., and seek/maintain employment. Moir’s father, Jesse Blue West, 60, is currently serving a life sentence in relation to Acorn’s murder. He was convicted in January of this year and is applying to appeal that decision. Acorn was reported missing from an Abbotsford group home on June 10, 2005. Her remains were found April 8, 2006 in a shallow grave near the Carolin Mines exit off the Coquihalla Highway outside of Hope.

Paying tribute to pioneers The completion of the Cariboo Wagon Road marked a pivotal point in B.C.’s history. Considered a major legacy of the gold rush era, it was one of the most difficult construction jobs in the British Empire. The colony needed a road to connect Fort Yale with the gold fields in Barkerville, and a small body of Royal Engineers sent from England surveyed and supervised the construction of this 400-mile road. The route was built entirely by hand, pick and shovel. Workers built bridges and blasted out footings for the road to go through the side of hills, alongside the Fraser and Thompson rivers. Early in 1862, a commanding officer of the Royal Engineers and a road contractor convinced Governor James Douglas that the best route would begin at Yale (head of steamboat navigation on the Fraser River) and follow the Fraser Canyon and Fraser River north to Lytton, then along the Thompson River to Ashcroft, and overland to Clinton. Work on the new road began in sections in 1862. However, the first part from Yale north through the Fraser Canyon proved the most difficult. It followed the west bank of the Fraser River from Yale to Spuzzum, where it crossed to the east bank by a 300-foot suspension bridge. The first section was completed in 1863, and by 1865 stage coaches were carrying passengers to Barkerville. Today, only small sections of the original Cariboo Wagon Road remain to connect us with our past. They serve as a physical reminder of an era that helped shaped the province’s identity. The 150th anniversary celebration Aug. 17-18 in Yale commemorating the completion of the first section of the Cariboo Wagon Road provides an opportunity to pay tribute to these pioneers. We should be proud of their dedication. The Cariboo Wagon Road not only allowed the interior of what is now B.C. to be populated, but made it possible for many people to bring services to those remote areas and to the miners that were working there. This weekend, take some time out to appreciate how we got to where we are today. - The Hope Standard
Another round of liquor reforms B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The B.C. Liberal government is ordering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated with alcohol. Discussions with B.C.’s 10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence. Another question: why can a family with under-aged children
go into a licensed restaurant for lunch, but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until the traditional 5 p.m. “happy hour” when the pub reverts to adults-only. A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations. Look for new licence opportunities for farmers’ markets to sell local beverages along with the produce and preserves. Letters inviting suggestions from existing licence holders have gone out, and RichmondSteveston MLA John Yap will be meeting this fall with industry groups, local governments, police, health and social policy organizations and First Nations in the fall. A website will be put up in September so members of the public can have their say. Here’s my sug-

gestion to start things off. Recent incidents involving socalled “party buses” shone a light on this growing industry, The sudden death of a 16-year-old on a party bus outing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcoholrelated, but to no one’s surprise, open liquor was found aboard the bus. Open liquor isn’t allowed in any vehicle, but perhaps a new kind of special event licence could be created for party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to impaired driving, and the situation isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat. Here’s another suggestion. Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popular, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals. Why not licence these establishments, at least so people can bring their own wine for dinner?
Standard
Both the B.C. Liberals and NDP have advocated for easing the archaic rules on inter-provincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on mail-order wine and has urged other provinces to follow suit. There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition. Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine. The Toronto media drank it

up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry. The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union.

Trudeau makes favourable impression Trudeau was an hour late getting to Vernon’s Polson Park to meet with a horde of well-wishers. While I waited in the cool shade of the trees, thoughts about “disrespect for others” and “poor organizational skills” started buzzing around in my mind. When he finally arrived, all those
thoughts melted away faster than an ice cube during an Okanagan summer. After casually stirring up our frustrations with Stephen Harper’s divisive, pigheaded, micro-managing style of governing, Trudeau spun a liberal amount of carnival cotton
candy to feed our hopes and dreams. Nevertheless, I believe he is sincerely committed to an egalitarian Canada. But charisma is not enough. He needs a committed team of ethical and competent people empowered to achieve specific delegated goals. He can’t do it alone.
Lost hiker learns a lesson To the beautiful kind people of Hope. I made the mistake of taking my good friend and hostess, Lori Schofield’s, advice for granted when she told me to stay on the trail on Mt. Hope last Tuesday. I became lost because I did not heed her good advice.
Thank you to Lori and the quick response of the RCMP, search and rescue team, helicopter, ambulance, and all the folks who posted pictures on Facebook and went out looking for me, both in cars and on foot – especially Katherine and Rick Turner who never stopped until
I was found. I have deep appreciation for all your efforts! This farm boy from Ontario sure knows how caring and giving the people of Hope really are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Harry Upton
Rescue efforts commended As an active volunteer in the community, I was humbled by a combined professional and volunteer effort I witnessed the night of Aug. 3. A friend’s autistic 16-year-old son went missing on a hike about 10 kilometres south of Silver Lake at 3:30 p.m. Within 30 minutes of a call in, RCMP and Conservation Service officers were on site. Next to arrive were Chilliwack Search and Rescue, whose hikers searched on foot, in difficult terrain. Once Hope Search and Rescue finished yet another previous call, they arrived. Two helicopters had already combed the area. The boy’s father was constantly comforted and attended to. It was one thing to watch the coordina-
tion and excellence of the professionals, but it was a whole other thing to see the volunteers with both Search and Rescue outfits give of themselves in order to help others. One “call” to the next, head lamps adorned, well hydrated, off the
volunteers went into the dark woods. At 11:30 p.m., the boy was found on the same road walking towards the command centre. A storybook ending for all these people’s efforts, care, and selflessness. What tremendous citizens they all
are. I had seen the 50th anniversary insert in the The Hope Standard on Hope Search and Rescue, but seeing the entire effort live was almost surreal. Hats off to these folks, and a huge thanks to every one of them! Scott Fyall

After he finished addressing the crowd, I was able to weave my way through the throng and pat him on his shoulder. I can’t imagine wanting to pat Stephen Harper anywhere, but I sure would enjoy kicking him in the posterior region. Lloyd Atkins
‘Unbearable municipal taxes’ On regards to Mark Strahl’s letter about Conservatives working with partners (Letters, Aug. 8), the total cost of the project was $3.3 million. A major portion of the cost was
bore by the municipality. Leave it to the Harper Conservatives to steal all the glory and leave us with unbearable municipal taxes. Art Green

Once again this year, the Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee (HMBBC) is offering a free volunteer service to the elderly and disabled in Hope – fruit tree gleaning! To those able-bodied people who do not manage their fruit trees, a donation to HMBBC is required for this service. Portions of the fruit gleaned go to the homeowner, pickers, and the local food bank. Soon you will see our volunteers around Hope. The purpose of this program is to help avoid black bear attraction to ripening or fallen fruit. Come fall, when it is so critical for black bears to store up calories, tree fruit is very attractive, and they will come into town to find it. It is very important that we all cooperate with this reminder, as well as garbage pick up

Oil refinery plan needs Canadian lenders Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C. businessman David Black has been forced to seek Canadian lenders to build his proposed oil refinery near Kitimat at the insistence of the Chinese bank that would act as the main financier. The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China declined to fully finance the $25-billion project, Black said, sending him to find a quarter of the required money within Canada. “It really came down to the fact that they wanted some skin in the game out of Canada and they would put 75 per cent of the money up for the refinery,” he said Monday. Black has billed the project, announced a year ago, as a way to create thousands of jobs in B.C. refining Alberta crude oil while ensuring diluted bitumen isn’t shipped in tankers, eliminating one of the biggest objections to construction of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline that could supply the crude. Black is advancing the project through his firm Kitimat Clean Ltd., but is also majority owner of the Black Press group of community newspapers in B.C., including this paper. He said he believes he has found lenders in Canada but gave no

details, except to say he does not intend to take on equity investors. “It’s too early to say where or how, but I think it’s there,” he said. “Financially, it’s going to work out.” He aims to file a project description with the provincial government in September to initiate the environmental review process. None of the major North American oil companies have expressed any interest in financing or partnering on the refinery but Black said that’s no surprise. Oil extraction is traditionally more profitable than refining, he said, and the biggest energy firms may not want a new refinery competing against ones they already own. “I understand all that and decided early on I just had to find a

way around that and I think I’ve found it.” The $25-billion cost includes roughly $16 billion for the refinery – more than initially estimated due to a new refining process that promises to emit half as much greenhouse gas – with the rest covering a natural gas pipeline, a fleet of tankers and the cost of the oil pipeline, if necessary. Besides securing financing, Black said he must secure sites for the refinery and the marine terminal with the Kitselas and Haisla first nations, determine if inland first nations along the proposed pipeline corridor can come on board and to button down formal supply agreements with Canadian oil companies. He said an engineering firm from Calgary
has endorsed the alternative refining process. Black reiterated his position that he could build the refinery even if the Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline project is rejected and instead bring oil via train, but he emphasized pipelines are safer. “I really hope it doesn’t come to that – I really hope we can do the pipeline.” A pipeline would bring money and benefits for first nations and local communities that wouldn’t come with rail shipments, he added. Oil-on-rail shipments have been growing quickly as a way to get Alberta oil to market, but a pall was cast over the method last month when a runaway train carrying light crude oil exploded and destroyed the heart of Lac-Mégantic, Quebec. Black it’s not clear to him whether there would be a risk of explosion with the rail shipment of diluted oil sands bitumen, but said he would welcome research to address that question. Sending the required oil by rail would add 12 trains per day on the CN Rail line across northern B.C. and Black said that would mean a significant increase in noise and traffic disruption in northern towns.

One of my favourite and most called upon quotes is: “If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.” Such simple words, but so meaningful. It is particularly true when it comes to the health of our community; it is so easy to complain, but much more difficult to come up with – and then to be willing to put Tammy in the requisite Shields time, effort, and dedication to put to action – positive strategies, or solutions to the problems. But, to again call upon another one of my most trusted sayings, “many hands make light work.” What does this mean in terms of economic development? What role does the community play? According to the web-based encyclopedia site, Wikipedia, “economic development generally refers to the sustained, concerted actions of policymakers and communities that promote the standard of living and economic health of a specific area.” So yes, policymakers have a role to play in economic development, but so do communities, i.e. the residents. So what roles do individual residents really play? We all know that a community’s residents are its best salespeople. But more than that, even though not everyone will run for office, all community members have a role to play in the local story. Below is a list of community roles that I found published in an online publication by the Harvard Business Review. Eighteen roles critical to a community’s function, preservation, and
management strategies, one thing is even more evident: people love Hope. This is the thing that unites us. With leadership and direction, this shared love of our community can be a powerful and compelling economic development tool. I encourage you all to think about the role(s) you have to play in Hope’s future and I invite you to be part of the change.

Exploring a little-known local jewel American Creek Falls near Hope offers pristine swimming water Barry Stewart Hope Standard
Pussy-footers beware: this is a hike where you have to get your feet wet, to get to your destination. American Creek Falls is a littleknown local jewel that is well worth a mid-day visit in the summer. Walking casually, it’s about an hour each way, though less than two kilometres, round trip. There’s not a lot of elevation gain, perhaps 100 metres total… the main challenge comes from picking your routes through the stream and over or around log jams and boulders. The last time I was up there, before last Friday, was in 1992 with my family and the Piechottas — and we have pictures to prove that we all made it, including my son Ryan, who was five years old at the time. I still hear groans about the hike from a few of that party, so be warned that it’s not everyone’s idea of a fun outing. If you prefer clearly-defined, groomed paths, you may not enjoy this one. But remember: a five yearold can do it… and there’s beauty to behold at the end of the route. Kelly Pearce, a local naturalist, historian and trail-developer confessed on Tuesday that this is one hike he hasn’t done yet — though his curiosity is now piqued. His educated guess was that the creek’s name has its legacy from the Fraser River Gold Rush of the late 1850s. “That’s where we got the names Texas Lake and Boston Bar,” said Pearce. “There were 30,000 American miners in the area at that time.” One concern that Pearce has for undeveloped trails is the need for safe, designated parking. That is a concern here, as there’s not much of a shoulder to park on near the bridge on Highway 1, north of Hope. My hiking partner, John Koopman, parked the car in a pullout about 0.2 kilometres north of the bridge, then we carefully crossed the road. Another option would be to park on American Creek Road and walk 0.5 kilometres downhill to the bridge, which has a narrow pedestrian walkway. Take abundant caution wherever you park — and keep any dogs or children close at hand. At the north end of the bridge on the upstream (west) side, there is

a well-defined path that leads you down into the creek valley. You’ll notice a pile of walking sticks that someone has thoughtfully left at the trailhead. Help yourself, if you’d like
some extra stability. For footwear, you’ll want something made for the water, like strapon sandals, river shoes… or old runners that owe you nothing. If you’re
especially safety-conscious (or a klutz), a helmet and knee and elbow pads could save you a few bumps. Come dressed for the wet, too. A bathing suit and floating devices

could come in handy. Once down the hill, the trail soon loses its clarity. You could veer to the left and get into the creek but it’s easier to continue straight ahead and meet the creek where it rambles over bedrock… your first chance to get your feet wet. Just do it. If you try to step on only the dry stones, you’re sure to find a loose or slippery one and then you could hurt yourself, or at least get totally soaked. In these first few steps, take a look around. If you don’t have the time or the inclination to slog up the creek bed, there would be plenty of fun for a family in the little pools and chutes right here. If you continue on: from here to the falls, it’s up to you to pick the best routes. You’ll never have to venture much deeper than your ankles at this time of year. We found it prudent to keep the knees bent and to lower our centers of gravity whenever the footing looked dicey. As with people, don’t trust rocks that are smooth, slimy — or unstable. Gravel and sand are your friends. After a few turns, the gurgling of the stream eliminates the sounds of the highway and railway. Wilderness, just 500 metres from civilization. A few turns after you wonder, “Are we there yet?” — you’ll hear the falls. “Traversing side to side through the creek was a fun way to cool off, while enjoying the scenery of the cliff edges,” said Koopman. “And reaching and hearing the wonder of the falls made the trek through the creek all worthwhile.” Once at the falls, it’s pretty clear that you’re not going any further. Take a load off, enjoy a snack… and contemplate a swim in the pristine pool that lies in front of you. Jennifer Sackley, a teacher from Chilliwack, has been enjoying visits to Lake of the Woods for the past few summers but she was encouraged by an acquaintance to go the extra mile and try the falls hike a few weeks ago. She was brave enough to get immersed in the bracing waters, though she stayed close to the edge. “The water… would turn a baritone into a choir boy!” she said. Having spent over 10 minutes in it, I would agree. At least I got my voice back.

MICHAUD, Rejean 1962 - 2013 Formerly of Hope BC, Rejean Michaud passed away July 30, 2013 at Royal Columbian Hospital at the age of 51 years. Reg is survived by his daughters: Arielle, Christina, Tiffany and Kayla, his mother, 8 siblings and his common-law wife Anne. A Celebration of Life was held on August 5, 2013. A Funeral Service will be held on August 18, 2013 in Staples, Ontario. Reg will be resting back home in Ontario. The family would like to give special thanks to all who shared in his life.
With sad hearts we announce the passing of Ronald William Young, the beloved 3rd son of Fred and Myrtle Young. Ron is pre-deceased by his mother Myrtle, and survived by his father Fred, stepmother Nancy, brothers David (Gayle), Randy (June), Tim (Patti Lynn), Darren (Shannon), nephews and nieces Jordan (Christie), Andrea (Ryan), Shae, Paige, Crystal (Jeff), April, Laurel, Marshall and great nephews Ethan, Logan and Trevor. Also by step sister Wendy (Richard), stepbrothers Paul (Christina), Colin (Leanna) and their children Brendan (Michelle), Quinna, Marlee and Emma. Ron is also survived by many aunts, uncles and cousins. In spite of suffering with A.L.S. (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) Ron had a smile for everyone who visited him. He was extremely popular with all his caregivers. Having lived all his life in this area Ron had many friends. We would like to offer special thanks to Dr. Botha and all the loving caring staff at Fraser Canyon Hospital and Fraser Hope Lodge, the Home Support Workers and the Hospice Volunteers who helped to ease his last days. Also thank you to the A.L.S. Society for the loan of all the special equipment needed to cope with this disease, and to the A.L.S. team at G.F. Strong for the medical help and support. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the A.L.S. Society or the Hope Hospice. A memorial service will be held on Saturday August 17th at 1 pm at the Hope Legion, 344 Fort Street.
