Hope receives Five Bloom award Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Hope has received the coveted Five Bloom award and a special mention for the Othello-Quintette Tunnels in the 2013 provincial Communities in Bloom competition. The award was handed out over the weekend in Kamloops, with nine delegates from Hope present at the ceremony. “It’s very good exposure for us. The group is very happy to succeed like we have,” said Victor Smith, chair of the Hope Communities in Bloom Committee. “Communities in Bloom is more than just flowers. It’s about the

overall town and quality of life.” The provincial Communities in Bloom judges toured the community in July and made short stops at numerous points of interest, including You Grow Food Aquaponics and Thacker Marsh. They were also treated to a tour of the area in the air, courtesy of Valley Helicopters. The community was evaluated on things like floral displays, heritage conservation, volunteerism, infrastructure, tidiness of the town, special developments, and projects and partnerships. The judges noted that the community has much to offer people who either pass through town or
choose to stay and visit. They were impressed by the dedicated team of volunteers who “go above and beyond what is expected.” In their evaluation, they also noted that the Othello-Quintette Tunnels are not just an asset to Hope but to the province. “These tunnels are obviously the pride of the community,” the judges said. “The tunnels were built at great danger to the many workers who toiled there. The terrain is unbelievably difficult, and it’s hard to fathom how the spans were constructed without loss of life.” They suggested that some signage and story boards be erected
to pay homage to courageous workers. The provincial Communities in Bloom program aims to inspire communities to enhance and sustain the visual appeal of neighbourhoods, public spaces, parks and streetscapes through the imaginative use of regionally-appropriate plants and landscaping with attention to environmental stewardship and to preserve heritage and cultural assets. The local Communities in Bloom Committee received $5,000 in funding from the district this year and relied on 32 volunteers to run the program, logging a total of 406 hours.

Almost half of preschoolers are not ready for school Fraser-Cascade trustee calls report ‘shocking’ Jessica Peters Black Press
Young children in Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs and Hope are among the least ready for school in the province, according to a recently released community summary. The report, created through UBC’s Human Early Learning Partnership, measures vulnerability in kindergarten aged children across B.C. While the provincial average is 32.5 per cent vulnerability, Fraser-Cascade school district received a rate of 45 per cent. “This is shocking,” school trustee Marv Cope said at this Tuesday’s board meeting in Agassiz. “Before they even get to school, they’re way behind.” The report breaks down the vulnerabilities in an attempt to help communities focus on where to focus their energies for early childhood education.

Air puri¿ers are really air cleaners and won’t remove gaseous pollutants like cigarette smoke. Since particles of tobacco smoke are designed to be inhaled into the lungs, they are quite small. The best protection from second-hand smoke is to not allow smokers to smoke in your house. We tend not to run to the doctor for every little symptom but some symptoms can’t be ignored. These include the following: a persistent or high fever;
shortness of breath; weightloss that you can’t explain; Àashes of light in the eyes; sudden mental changes like confusion or disorientation. If you experience any of these, see your doctor right away. If you have a sore throat, it always feels worse in the morning because your throat gets dry overnight. To soothe a sore throat, keep it moist. Suck on lozenges or hard candies to stimulate saliva production. Drinking plenty of Àuids is also important. If
the sore throat persists for more than a few days, see your doctor. This year’s Àu vaccine will contain protection against four strains of Àu virus rather than the three we are used to in the past. Called a quadrivalent vaccine, it will contain vaccine to protect against two strains of both InÀuenza A and InÀuenza B. This new vaccine promises to be more effective for people over 65.

Lessons learned from tragedy Is the world a safer place for kids since Port Coquitlam teen Amanda Todd killed herself on Oct. 10, 2012 after posting that heart-wrenching video seen around the world? No, but we have learned a few things since. We’ve learned, for example, that the internet can be a rough, cruel world for kids unless they are taught how to protect themselves and their privacy — and we know that the internet is a powerful tool for ruining someone’s reputation. We’ve seen that vulnerable girls and boys are easily exploited online by voyeurs who lure them with false names and post their pictures and videos, sometimes with devastating consequences. We learned, as well, that rape culture is so deeply engrained in our society that Canadian university students didn’t see anything wrong with frosh week chants about sex with underage girls until authorities found out and put a stop to it. We’ve learned that it’s easy to troll the internet for photos and then post them, without consent, as a Facebook dating chat room did with a picture of Rehtaeh Parsons (the Nova Scotia teen who committed suicide after photos of an alleged gang-rape were posted). Simply put, laws are inadequate for dealing with meanness and stupidity on the web. Even Port Coquitlam couldn’t find a way to legislate against bullying. But there has been some action, too. B.C.’s ERASE Bullying website, available during the school year, provides resources for families with bullying concerns, and administrators and school counsellors are being trained to identify and support at-risk youth. The Kids Help Phone got more publicity about its services for kids and School District 43 has a new digital responsibility policy for teachers, students and parents working on the web. Even workplace bullying has received a higher profile in the year since Todd’s death, with a new Workplace BC website addressing the issue, and the BC Coroner’s Service studied youth suicide this fall and recommended more collaboration and resources. Will all this talk prevent another Amanda Todd situation from occurring? Maybe not, but we can no longer have ignorance as an excuse. - Black Press
B.C. marijuana referendum misguided B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher I won’t be signing the “Sensible B.C.” petition to demand a provincewide referendum on marijuana enforcement. You shouldn’t either, and here are a few reasons why. Let me start by saying I’ve been calling for legalization and regulation of pot for 20 years, to conserve police resources and reduce violent crime. Our war on drugs is a failure even for heroin and cocaine, and marijuana is obviously much easier to produce. But the current effort led by Dana Larsen, B.C.’s clown prince of pot, is not only misguided, it’s dangerous. The petition does not propose
legalization. It seeks to impose a provincial law that would stop B.C. police from using any resources for simple possession charges. This would create a loophole in the federal drug law. So what would that do? It would protect otherwise innocent customers of the current illegal marijuana trade, while leaving the criminal distribution business in place. For a closer look at that, I recommend reports from the Surrey Six murder trial now underway, or the upcoming case against three accused assassins of Red Scorpion gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna. Larsen’s loony law would tie police hands when they are trying to hold someone on a lesser charge while they search for evidence of something nastier. This is a source of many simple possession charges today.

Tuesday - Friday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Police chiefs have a different idea, asking for the option of treating simple possession as a ticket offence to keep the court time to a minimum. Both of these notions have the same obvious flaws. They don’t deal with sales to minors and they divert no revenue to government, leaving most of that in the hands of criminal dealers who buy cocaine, guns and fancy cars. Colorado and Washington have gone the legalization route, so far without interference from their federal government. These states need money, and they don’t need more crime or ill-considered hippy gesture politics. Meanwhile in Ottawa, Health Canada is trying to convert a poorly regulated mess of small-scale medical marijuana licences to a free-market system of commercial producers. Local politicians tore a strip off
Standard
Health Canada officials at their recent convention, after years of warnings that federal licences were scattered at unknown locations, often used as fronts for larger grow-ops. Mission Coun. Dave Hensman predicted that when a grower gets a letter cancelling his licence, he’s more likely to roll up a big joint with it than to shut down. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow suggested the response would echo an old Cheech and Chong routine: “Dave’s not here, man.” Here’s another reason not to support Larsen: the conduct of his organizers. One fellow set up a petition table at, of all places, the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam. After scrawling “pot cures cancer” on the table, he proceeded to interrupt speeches by cancer survivors and the run itself by yelling the same false slogan.

You can imagine how people with terminal cancer and their loved ones would react. Some would know that marijuana may alleviate side effects of chemotherapy, just as it can ease suffering for some multiple sclerosis patients. But the suggestion of a cure is as cruel as it is moronic. Larsen’s “cannibus” has been rolling around B.C., reaping uncritical media coverage.

Colonial rule raises its ugly head again The failure of the U.S. government to continue to operate is yet another example of how screwed up our colonial style governments really are. While we have democratic elections, we do not have democratic governments. Our politicians do not want democracy and arrogantly insist on forming one dysfunctional minority government after another. They also insist on using an electoral system that continues to award political parties the majority of the seats in the legislatures while representing only about a third of the people. To make matters worse, party discipline has such a lock on our legis-
latures that we have become a virtual dictatorship. Party discipline has stripped all political powers from the people who should be spearheading the process of political reform we so desperately need. Instead, they have been transformed into useless puppets that are compelled to serving their political masters instead of the people they were elected to represent. What a disconnect. In the U.S., lobbying is so entrenched that “Corporate America” controls the political system, and Wall Street can continue to rape and plunder the middle class with impunity, as

legislation that would provide much needed transparency and regulatory safeties in the financial sector are stuck in a gridlocked Congress. To insist on colonial rule is to insist on living in the past. It has devastated Canadian Indians and Inuits who have been denied the opportunity to transition into the 21st Century socio-economic future of Canada. Instead, they have been segregated and locked into a lifestyle of abject poverty without a glimmer of hope for relief anytime soon. What we need is an electoral system like proportional representation that will fairly represent all our politi-
cal ideologies in our legislatures and at the same time produce democratic governments. Honest democratic governments that represent more than 50 per cent of the people have a clear mandate to govern, and they do not need a Senate to provide balance and stability. We have to get rid of our outdated, corrupt, and dysfunctional colonial electoral/political system before it destroys us socially, economically and politically, and we have to start the process now. The last thing we need in Canada is a disaster like the one currently playing out south of our border. Andy Thomsen
Be wary of environmentalists Re: Science loses ground to superstition, B.C. Views (Oct. 3) After reading Tom Fletcher’s fairy tale on how all environmentalists are superstitious, I can’t imagine why he’d pick on the people that would lay down in front of a steamroller for his grandchildren. Obviously, we’ve all been duped. There’s no
air pollution, our fish stocks are just amazing, and the Atlantic salmon, there’s more than ever, they’re just hiding. All those major oil spills, it’s actually good for the environment, keeps the fish oily, and quit worrying about treating the sewer, it cleans the oil off the fish.
Now, because of David Suzuki whining about air pollution, we have cleaner burning fuels, putting good Hazmat people out of work. What’s next? Convert everything to natural gas and put even more of them out of work. I tell you, if it were up to me, there’d be
a six-month bounty on environmentalists, twice a year. Art Green

Volunteers prepare to cross the Tulameen River as they carry building materials into “Horseguard Camp” on the HBC Trail over the weekend. Organized by the Hope Mountain Centre, this team of eight built a new fire ring, benches, interpretive kiosk, and other amenities for backpackers and horsemen to enjoy as they travel the HBC Trail. In total, 152 hours were donated to the project. “Horseguard” was one of five overnight camps used by the HBC horse “Brigades” during the 1850s, as they made the five-day crossing from Hope to Otter Lake.

the Hope market, which should boost the confidence of other major retailers currently considering a location here. Barrick Gold’s project planner, McKay Edwards, has been in the area lately meeting with local stakeholders to update them on the status of the planned all-season resort at the former mine site just north of Tammy Hope. Local Shields and regional partners are working together to provide support for the proposed redevelopment project which would be a “game changer” in terms of tourism growth and economic development in the area. When I asked Randy

I know that several residents of Hope have grown weary of hearing about “our potential” as a community, but I think the time for talking about it is over. It’s time to live it. It’s big news for Hope that after 39 years in the grocery business, Heinz and Susan Schiller have sold Buy & Save Foods to Pattison Group – not only because of the plans to convert to a Buy-Low Foods, but also because it represents a vote of confidence in the market by one of the area’s largest retailers. Cooper’s Foods, which any local resident can tell you does a booming business in the summer months, is also owned by Pattison Group. So a second location seems to confirm they perceive strength and anticipate growth in

It is very encouraging that outside interests recognize the potential that many of us see in Hope and are taking action to capitalize on it. It also presents an opportunity for us, as a community, to put our best forward at all times and do our part to attract even more investors. It’s our time Hope.

Campers should note that all of the campgrounds at Silver Lake Provincial Park, the Skagit Valley Provincial Park and Manning Provincial Park close for the year on Monday, Oct. 14. There are however many private Hope campgrounds that continue to stay open year-round plus the
Lone Duck Campground at Manning will stay open throughout the winter. Coquihalla Canyon Provincial Park, home of the Othello-Quintette Tunnels, should be open until the end of the month if the weather conditions allow for it. So walks on the abandoned Kettle Valley Railway grade are also a great idea for this coming weekend. The Alexandra Bridge Provincial Park , Hope Museum and the Yale Heritage Site have unfortunately already closed. The Hope Visitor Centre will also scale back operations after this weekend but staff will be on hand to assist visitors on Saturday and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. After a closure for Thanksgiving Monday, it will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Increasing interest in racquet sports Barry Stewart Hope Standard
Indoor racquet sports are netting a good amount of attention this fall, with two nights of badminton and another of pickleball — all sponsored by Hope and District Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services. Monday and Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 8:30, it’s badminton in the C.E. Barry gym. Thursdays in the same time slot, it’s pickleball. All sessions are for ages 15 and up, with a $2 drop-in fee. Pickleball officially debuted in Hope this spring, starting out at the Coquihalla gym. Due to tight end-line space, the game has been moved to Silver Creek’s gym, which offers a bit more elbow room. Jon Nigh, who pushed to get the sport going locally said, “It’s about two feet longer at each end, now, so that helps on the long shots. The rec commission has bought us two new portable nets, as well.” Typically, they’ve been getting six players out, so Nigh said there is certainly room for more. Eight would be ideal, to have two courts going with doubles play. If more attend, a third court could be opened up. Paddles and balls are provided. For the uninitiated, pickleball is played on a badminton court, with the net set roughly at tennis height. The ball is a whiffle ball, about the size of a street hockey ball and the paddle is like an enlarged table tennis paddle, with a smooth surface. Pickleball plays a lot like tennis but has its own set of rules — some of them as peculiar as the game’s name — that experienced players such as Nigh will be happy to explain. Unlike tennis or badminton, there’s not much mechanical advantage to the paddle, so the game has a slightly slower pace. There’s still a lot of opportunity for strategy, with lobs, slices, smashes and drop shots. “When you get proficient at it and get into rallies of eight or tens returns, you’re breathing hard and getting good cardio,” said Nigh. “If you play for a full two hours, you get a good workout. We have a lot of fun… lots of laughs.” Nigh is so hooked on the game that he has been traveling to Chilliwack for sessions down

there. Tuesday nights, he goes to the Rosedale drop-in from 7 to 9 p.m. On some Wednesdays and Fridays, he goes to the sessions at Evergreen Hall, which run from 8 a.m. till noon. “On those days, you could play for four hours,” said Nigh. “What else can you do for four hours, for only two bucks?” Nigh and four or five other Hope-based pickleball players travelled to Rosedale during the summer, where he said the Hope contingent made up the bulk of the players. Badminton kept going during the summer in Hope — for the first time ever — thanks to the interest shown by Nat Baker, a local
badminton enthusiast. Mandy Arbuckle, the new assistant manager at the rec centre, said, “Nat approached me about keeping it going in the summer and the school district helped us facilitate getting into the school during the summer. We have a joint-use agreement with them. Arbuckle sees positive trends in both sports. “Badminton is one of the top five sports for participation by adults in Canada — and pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports.” Brad Kurucz has been a regular at Hope drop-in badminton for the past seven or eight years and has recently been heading down to Rosedale for their drop-in ses-

sions. “There are a lot of great things about badminton,” said Kurucz. “It’s probably the easiest racquet sport for a beginner to play and actually have extended rallies. “If playing just for fun, it’s very easy to get the bird back and forth, I’ve played with my 70-year-old mother and we can hit it around pretty well. “As the skill levels go up, the game is very dynamic, with a lot of intensity, quickness, and power. There are all kinds of skills involved... footwork, tactics and deception. “Personally, I’ve always loved smashing the bird. It feels good, like taking a slap shot, hitting a

home run or driving a golf ball 300 yards. With really hard hitters, the bird can leave the racquet at over 300 km/hour. “The skill level down in Rosedale is definitely a notch up from Hope. Doug Araki plays down there quite often, and some of the other Hope players come down now and again as well. It can be pretty challenging, but there are also some less intense games. “In Rosedale, they play from 7 to 10. Some people play the whole night and others show up for what works for them. It would be nice if Hope went a bit later, too.” Arbuckle said on Monday that extended badminton hours are being considered.

IN MEMORIAM
In Memory of Zbigniew ( John) Bukowski May 10,1936 to October 8th, 2012 He had a nature you could not help loving; And a heart that was purer than gold; And to those who knew and loved him; His memory will never grow cold. I who dearly loved him, Whose passing has brought many tears; Will cherish his memory forever, In the coming years. I miss his smile, his touch, his laughter and loving caring ways, I’m so thankful to have had him in my life for so many wonderful days; Right now and forever he lives on in my memory; Gone from our sight but not from our Hearts in any way. His loving life partner and best friend, Donna
