Road paving

KERRIE-ANN SCHOENIT / THE STANDARD

Paving crews from Martens Asphalt worked on patching cracked areas along Wallace Street Tuesday morning. The company was hired to repair about 1,900 square metres of pavement on Third Avenue between Wallace and Commission streets, Wallace Street between Water and Sixth avenues, and Kawkawa Lake Road near Lakeview Crescent. Ross Blackwell, the district’s roads and drainage foreman, said these areas have had extensive temporary patching annually and the amount of work completed was limited due to budget constraints. Scheduling of paving this week was also based on availability of the contractors after taxes were collected. All work was completed by Wednesday morning, however residents can expect to still see some sidewalk construction on Wallace Street and Sixth Avenue.

Council size referendum not binding Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Voters may have a say on the future size of council this fall, but the results of the upcoming referendum are not binding. Council unanimously voted in April to ask residents whether they are in favour of reducing the number of councillors from six to four during the Nov. 15 municipal election. According to section 83 of the Community Charter, a council may seek community opinion on a question that council believes affects the municipality, by voting or any other process the council considers appropriate. However, the results of a process under this section are not binding on the council. “With that said, the size of council

is established by letters patent or bylaw,” said Donna Bellingham, director of corporate services. “So as we move through the process with the bylaw, if at the end of the day council decides to leave council at six councillors they do not have to adopt the bylaw.” Despite personal opposition to cutting councillors, a council reduction bylaw was given two readings on Monday night. Mayor Susan Johnston and Coun. Gerry Dyble support getting feedback from the electorate, but believe it’s not wise to change the size of council given the population and economic development growth expected in the future. “Personally my feeling is that we’re sending a message out to the public, to the community and to the region that we’re taking a step backwards when we

want to be going forward,” said Dyble. Coun. Ron Smith and Coun. Donna Kropp also raised concerns about fair representation given the geographical size of the district. “The moment we reduce (council), we will be hamstrung to represent the community appropriately,” said Smith. “We need to be front and centre as this municipality grows and we are held more accountable by various levels of government.” In addition, Kropp questioned if a reduction in council size would be a cost savings measure in the long run. Currently, councillors earn $8,000 a year. “I’m not sure what the benefit would really be,” she said. “When people have more work to do, do they do it more efficiently, especially if they have a fulltime job for example? Could they go

outside of their work, spread themselves a lot thinner and do a lot for the community, but maybe not as well as they could if there was more of them to do it? I’m concerned about that.” Based on Hope’s population of 6,185, the current number of councillors is in line with comparable municipalities. For example, Merritt (6,998), Kimberley (6,139) and Smithers (5,217) all have six councillors while smaller communities like Gibsons (4,182), Kent (4,738), and Metchosin (4,795) have four. Council will give third reading to the bylaw on Sept. 8 and pass a resolution to establish the question on November’s ballot. Following the municipal election on Nov. 15, the newly elected council will consider adoption of the bylaw. Any change would take effect for 2018 municipal election.

Grand Chief Robert Pasco speaks at the Alexandra Bridge petition launch on Saturday, which coincided with Spuzzum First Nation’s first public fish ceremony.

Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone will bring together key corporate, government and community stakeholders to discuss the practical next steps in restoring the bridge structure and creating safe pedestrian access. Hobart said he did receive an email from Stone this week stating the ministry’s commitment to working with Spuzzum First Nation and its partners to facilitate discussions on furthering the structure’s resto-

ration. Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness has also agreed to take the petition to Victoria and present it in the legislature. “This means we’re going in the right direction. In the past we haven’t had any commitment from any political leader,” said Hobart. “The bridge is a destination and really big tourist attraction. It is important to people.” Built for automobiles in 1926, the current bridge replaced the original wagon bridge of 1863.

Spuzzum First Nation has launched a petition to save Alexandra Bridge in the Fraser Canyon. The petition, which has already garnered about 370 names, supports the preservation of the bridge in traditional First Nations territory as a national historic landmark and icon of Canadian transportation history. The goal is to see a longterm plan developed to preserve, restore and enhance the structure. “It’s one more historical site that we’re going to lose if we don’t do something about it,” said Spuzzum First Nation Chief James Hobart. “It’s an important bridge that has done a lot for B.C. People from all over the world have been there.” Spuzzum First Nation is urging the provincial government to play a leadership role in assembling the financial and professional resources necessary to preserve the structure. They also hope Transportation and

The structure requires repairs to bring it up to current building standards capable of carrying maintenance vehicles. Deterioration of cement and caps on the bridge towers that hold the cables in place specially need to be addressed. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure completed an assessment and noted the bridge is safe to walk across but requires work in order to protect and preserve the structure. In 2012, the government estimated the cost to repair and preserve the bridge for 75 years at $11.9 million. The goal is to make the preservation of the bridge a legacy project for the Canada150 celebrations in 2017. In addition, Hobart said there’s opportunities to expand the provincial park at the same time. The eastern half of the park has room for an RV campground which would enhance the visitor experience at the site and promote longer stays in the Fraser Canyon. Hobart said Spuzzum First Nation would also like to see an interpretive centre built to share the site’s many stories. Spuzzum First Nation kicked off the launch of their campaign with their first public fish ceremony and potlatch on Saturday. The annual event is typically held on reserve. “The purpose of this gathering is really to acknowledge the salmon and it’s value to all of us. What we do is try to awaken people to the value of water quality. There’s a lot of things that man has done to impede the movement and migration of the resource up the river,”said Grand Chief Robert Pasco, chair of the Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council. “Our people, as a whole, really appreciate the fact that there are some arrangements that we’ve been able to negotiate with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans that helps us try to maintain the wellness of the salmon.” For anyone still interested in signing the petition, Hobart said it will be available online at www. newpathwaystogold. ca, www.trailscrossing. com, and travelthecanyon.com. Trail’s Crossing Friendship Centre also plans to make the petition available in person at the centre on the corner of Wallace Street and Sixth Avenue in Hope.

Seabird Island leading the way with education programs Jessica Peters Black Press

Seabird Island is once again being noted for its forwardthinking educational programs. MP Mark Strahl visited the community on Tuesday to hear how a federally-funded youth employment program is changing the lives of those who take part in it. “I’m hearing good news today,” he said in a phone call to Black Press. “I’m out here for the morning to hear from the students and their administrators, teachers and program directors on how the Enhanced Service Delivery program is going. While the ESD is a federally-funded program, he said, it was only given funding because Seabird has shown that it was capable of

delivering it successfully. “They’re kind of a pioneer out in this region and we wanted to hear how it’s going, how to improve and what’s working,” he said. “Seabird recognizes, as a First Nation community, that education is the key to economic success and that’s why they are so focused on their young people. Anytime there is a program, Seabird wants to be a part of it and they have put a lot of their own resources into this.” The ESD program targets youth ages 18-24 and helps them address barriers to employment, offering skills upgrades and other resources to help them succeed in the work force. Currently, 95 young people are accessing the services in Seabird. In B.C., the number is 250, and nationwide, 4,000

youth are involved with ESD. “They received these funds because they were ready for them,” he said. “They were the only First Nations that could show capacity and ability to deliver.” Strahl noted that even before Seabird’s youth are preparing for life after high school, they are encouraged to explore potential career options. “They encourage them to think about what they do and what they want for a career,” he said, and try to employ youth in a number of different businesses and organizations within the band’s economy. “They rotate them through and get them some job experience.” He said one of the highlights of his day at Seabird was seeing young students stand up and declare what they see them-

selves becoming, whether it was an electrician or a business owner. The Seabird Island Enhanced Service Delivery program includes six affiliated First Nations: Seabird Island, Chawathil, Shxw’ow’hamel, Squiala, Cheam and Union Bar. Chief Clem Seymour said they are focused on encouraging members to be self sufficient. “Seabird Island Band believes in the success of our people and empowering our members to achieve independence. With help from Enhanced Service Delivery, our youth and young adults are achieving self sufficiency through employment, reducing the dependency on income assistance and positively impacting our community,” he said.

Experts believe this can be a good thing for children even those younger than two years old and as long as the toddlers spend no more than a half hour daily with the device. Have you ever heard of bendopnea? It’s a new word for a new symptom. Patients with advanced heart failure often become short of breath when they bend over. Cardiologists are now looking to this symptom as a sign the patient needs help

It’s common in the summer months. Drying the ears well after swimming is part of the prevention. You can also use a home-made ear drop of equal parts vinegar and rubbing alcohol to help the ear dry and the acidity of the vinegar could help prevent infection.

Ottawa follows B.C.’s treaty ‘stepping stones’ The new Ronald McDonald House BC opens in June. A home away from home for seriously ill children receiving treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, the new and bigger House has enough room to welcome 73 families every day, keeping 2,500 families per year together when it matters most. Also opening in June, the new Ronald McDonald® Family Room at Surrey Memorial Hospital, the ﬁrst of its kind in BC, will give families of children receiving treatment a quiet area to rest, shower, or even stay overnight.

The federal government has responded to the strengthening of aboriginal title in B.C. by following the province’s lead and focusing on resource use agreements rather than full-scale treaties that have been slow and expensive to negotiate. A shift in federal policy was announced Monday by Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Minis-

B.C. recently signed its first liquefied natural gas resource sharing agreement for facilities proposed near Prince Rupert. On July 11, B.C. reached its 150th forest resource sharing agreement with the Seabird Island Band in the Fraser Valley, and has developed similar revenue deals for mining and hydroelectric projects. Ottawa is also promising to restart fisheries talks that have been on hold since the Cohen Commission reported in 2012 on the health of Fraser River sockeye salmon runs. The B.C. Treaty Commission has protested for years that Ottawa’s foot-dragging has contributed to the slow pace of talks, with only four treaties completed since the threeway structure was set up in 1992. Chief Commissioner Sophie Pierre has warned of over-emphasis on resource agreements, with Ottawa and B.C. focused on northern B.C. pipeline and energy projects. Rustad said there are re-

source projects all over the province that can benefit, adding there will be new agreements announced in the near future. Valcourt’s announcement mirrors the main recommendations of Eyford’s report last fall. It called for “targeted efforts to build effective relationships, including refinements to Canada’s current approach to consultation and engagement, to explore mutually beneficial initiatives that support reconciliation, and to encourage aboriginal communities to resolve shared territory issues.” Rustad said Ottawa is moving on Eyford’s recommendations, not in response to the landmark aboriginal title case decided in favour of the Tsilhqot’in Nation in June. The Supreme Court of Canada upheld Tsilhqot’in title to the Nemiah Valley west of Williams Lake, striking down provincial logging permits issued without aboriginal consent.

Bursary honours deceased dragon boater Katie Bartel Black Press

Lois Boschman’s voice could be heard across oceans, rivers and lakes. It’s not what most would have expected at first glance from the silver-haired woman with one of the most warming smiles, but when she spoke, her fellow dragon boaters paddled. It’s a voice that still booms in the ears of her teammates eight months after her death. “I think we all hear her voice in our heads urging us on,” said husband Ron Denman, also a paddler. “One of the phrases that kind of echoes around in everybody’s head is ‘Come on you guys, we’re in a race!’” Boschman and her booming voice will live on through an annual bursary organized by the Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club. The Lois Boschman Memorial Bursary was created this year for two graduating students; one from the Chilliwack school district and the other from the Fraser-Cascade school district. Each bursary is $500. Successful recipients are members of the Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club’s junior team. Formed in 2004, Boschman was an early member of the Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club, which now boasts mixed, junior, women-only, and senior teams. Boschman started as a paddler nine years ago with the Mavericks Dragon Boat Team, and quickly moved into the caller’s seat. Passionately shouting out commands to her teammates, urging them to dig deep, to drive hard through that water, to go, go, go straight through that finish line, it’s a voice that won’t soon be forgotten. “She had a great voice, you heard her everywhere,” said Denman. “She was very passionate, she’d get so excited – there were teams that wanted her.” Last June Boschman

was diagnosed with lung cancer. Despite chemotherapy and radiation interventions, the cancer won. Boschman died Nov.

19, 2013. “Realizing now, they were more palliative than curative,” said Denman of the chemo and radiation. “It was very fast.”

When Denman was notified of the new bursary by the club’s president at Boschman’s memorial service, he was blown away. But for the club, it was a no brainer. “The person that she was, she was a strong woman, she was passionate and joyful about the sport, she basically embodied everything that we take seriously in this sport as far as camaraderie, team work, and team spirt,” said club president Scott Farrell. “Lois was a fighter until the end … the bursary is a way to keep her name and all she did for the club moving forward.” This year’s recipients of the Lois Boschman Memorial Bursary were Carmen Taylor of Sardis secondary and Adrienne Ferguson of Agassiz secondary. Ferguson will be going to the University of the Fraser Valley and will be working towards a Bachelor of Arts in either political science or law. Taylor will be attending the University of British Columbia going into applied biology with the intent

of specializing in sustainable agriculture. Taylor also intends to continue dragon boating next year with the UBC Thunder Dragons. “For me, dragon boating is … not just a sport, but an opportunity to share experiences with a group of people with exceptional character,” said Taylor at the Sardis secondary graduation ceremony.

A6 Hope Standard Thursday, July 31, 2014

Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

Tire checks important As we approach the middle of the summer driving season, it’s important to think about a number of issues. One is paying close attention to what is going on around you or, as it used to be called, driving defensively. In a day and age of widespread cellphone use, texting and driving, vehicles equipped with audio and video entertainment systems and increasing traffic congestion on what used to be much quieter streets, paying attention to all circumstances, within and outside your vehicle, is more important than ever. Kal Tire has issued a press release noting an often-overlooked summer driving issue — regular checks of tires. In particular, the B.C.-based tire firm notes the importance of being fully aware of issues with RV and trailer tires, something that is often overlooked. “Drivers need to be checking their tires regularly. Just a few simple maintenance steps, before you leave and during your trip, can really reduce your risk of having your holiday interrupted by tire failure,” says Carey Hull, director of retail products, Kal Tire. Passenger vehicle tires are not meant for many trailers. While RVs can be equipped with light truck tires, most trailers require special trailer tires, built to have stiffer, heavy duty sidewalls to accommodate heavy loads and track straight to reduce bounce and sway problems. Kal Tire emphasizes the importance of regularly checking tire pressure and also ensuring that RVs and trailers are not overloaded. This is equally true for all vehicles. The coming B.C. Day long weekend is often the busiest of the year for vacation travel. Ensuring that your vehicle is safely equipped for travel, and paying close attention to other drivers, will make for a safer trip. - Black Press

In defence of younger drivers B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher A recent column on the B.C. government’s decision to raise speed limits on portions of rural highways excited numerous comments from readers. Some questioned my suggestion that today’s new drivers are worse because they spend their formative years staring at screens in the back seat instead of looking out the window and grasping the grim physics of the real world. There is no doubt that B.C.’s graduated licensing system for new drivers is more difficult than what my generation faced. Those vehicle stickers with the “L” (for learner, or as teens prefer “loser”) and “N” (for novice, or in teen-

speak “nerd”) have been around since 1998. The two steps make getting a full driver’s licence a longer, more difficult and expensive process. Statistics provided by ICBC show what new drivers are up against. First there is the written “knowledge test” to obtain a learner’s permit. From 2004 to 2008, more than half of applicants failed in their first attempt. Things improved in subsequent years, with a 46-per-cent failure rate in 2009 declining to 42 per cent by 2013. The first road test is required to go from “L” to “N” and it seems sufficiently harsh. The failure rate has been consistently around 47 per cent in the past six years. More practice and another $35 are required to try again. Students fare better on the second road test, where the failure

rate has consistently been 21-22 per cent for the past decade. ICBC reports that in the first three years of the graduated licence program, the new driver crash rate dropped by 16 per cent. In 2003 the required learner and novice period were extended, and restrictions on the novice stage were increased. New driver crashes fell by another 28 per cent. Those restrictions include the number of passengers and a “zero tolerance” for alcohol. Impaired crash and injury statistics aren’t available for drivers in the graduated licence program, only fatalities. They grew as more new drivers were enrolled in the new system, to a high of 24 in 2007, but that declined to 14 by 2012. There will always be young people who drive impaired, speed or make other fatal errors. But it’s

difficult to argue that today’s system in B.C. is lenient. A couple of readers were concerned about the effect of higher rural speed limits on older drivers. One suggested that higher limits on rural highways are a poor mix with vacationing seniors hauling around oversized motorhomes, trailers and boats. Another cited the coming wave of retired baby boomers and added a likely increase in marijuanaimpaired drivers, all emboldened by the invitation to drive faster. B.C.’s medical health officers issued a letter denouncing the decision by Transportation Minister Todd Stone to raise speed limits. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the research is clear that higher speeds increase the risk and severity of incidents. Then there is the government’s own position, articulated in a road safety strategy released last

Letters Road repairs impact businesses I appreciate that the town of Hope has taken on the needed repairs to our streets. But I would like to know why it was decided that the best time to do it would be the busiest time of the summer. This time is when our merchants make their income to cover

them for the rest of the year. Common sense would dictate this be done after the summer rush. I hope that this town got a major reduction in the cost for allowing the contractor to do this work now rather than in the middle of September. Bob French

Grateful for community help in difficult time Last Tuesday was a very sad day for me when I had to have my little pomeranian of 15 years put to sleep. But I am so grateful to the Hope community for all the hugs I received to make the day a little easier. From my cleaning lady, Mandy; to the vet

assistants at Coquihalla Vet Clinic; to Jen, the dog groomer; and last but not least, the nice lady at Wild Rabbit who even, along with a hug, delivered a nice little posy to my house. Once again, thank you all. Pauline Cattrell

Cats should be allowed to be cats Re: Keep cats indoors to protect birds and small animals, Letters (July 24) Why should we keep our cats indoors? As you said they are following their natural instincts to hunt birds and other small animals. Cats are outdoor animals and them attacking and eating small animals is just the circle of life. Cats and other

predators are nature’s way of controlling population. So no there is no reason for people to keep their cats indoors. Even if they do you’ll still see animals wounded that way from strays and feral cats. Keeping your cats indoors will also keep your cats from keeping the local pest population in check. Matt Keep

‘Teacher greed’ spreading Teachers greed is spreading like summer wild fires. B.C. is not the only province dealing with these greedy teachers. The last signed teachers contract in Newfoundland expired on Aug. 31, 2012. The Newfoundland government and the Newfoundland Teachers Federation have been negotiating ever since. Talks have expired as both sides are too far apart and mediation is out of the question. The last signed contract in Saskatchewan expired on Aug. 31, 2013. The Saskatchewan teachers federation has negotiated two contracts with the Saskatchewan government, since then, advising the Saskatchewan teachers to vote yes on the contract proposals. Both times, the teachers ignored the federation’s request. The epidemic of this “teachers greed” must stop or students will not be reporting for school in September in B.C., Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland. Joe Sawchuk

The community of Yale has been brought down a notch, after suffering a 5-3 loss to Hope in the secondever “World Cup of Hope and Yale,” played at the Hope Secondary field last Thursday. Surely, plans for the new 58-seat Baerg Bowl riverfront stadium will now have to be set aside until confidence in the local team has been built back up. In the inaugural game in 2010, Hope fielded “a lot more inexperienced and older players,” said organizer Shelley Empey. They were all invited to return but most declined for various reasons. Not all of the elder players declined, though — and this ended up being a key to the win. Another advantage for Hope: Yale didn’t have their talented Scotsman, who scored five goals for them in 2010. Advantage three: the well-oiled Hope club had been preparing for over a month, practicing twice a week — and ordering impressive team jerseys. Yellow jerseys. Somehow, Yale had missed the memo and were preparing to also use yellow jerseys… until a week before the big game. “We were going to use a reissue of a vintage yellow Historic Yale shirt we sell in our retail area,” said Yale team manager Sue Baerg, co-owner of Fraser River Raft Expeditions. “When we heard the Hope jerseys were yellow, we brought out a few of the 2010 black Yale jerseys with ‘well beyond Hope’ on the back. Several of our returning players wore them to the game. “We asked all new team members to wear a black shirt and, of course, every bad ass in the area not only has a black shirt but they want to play for Yale,” said Baerg. “We had a roll of white tape for branding ‘YALE.’” Yale tape may soon be available in local stores, so tourists and locals alike can make their own commemorative T-shirts — proceeds going to the riverfront stadium fund. The canyon squad fielded a number of players who actually live in the town. They had three Baergs, two Friesens and three Peredas — but the main problem with Yale was: they didn’t have a Hope. They had fielded 27 players in 2010 but in the week before the big match, Yale was still seeking members and found a gold mine in the Seabird

Island-based players who have been coming to drop-in sessions in Hope this summer. “The Seabird playmakers came up river and played beautifully,” said Baerg. “We were also fortunate enough to recruit a great player at the last minute, Ionela Garrett, who was pivotal in our playmaking and assisted in one of our hard fought goals. She played with joy and passion and truly loves the game. “Another key player for Yale was our brute enforcer, Sol Pereda, the youngest member of our team at eight-yearsold,” said Baerg. “His ability to intimidate the Hope players played a huge role in the match. They all seemed to move away when he came too close.” The game got started at about 7 p.m., under the supervision of all-seeing referee, Don Wiens. Hope’s Josh Hon — at 60 years of age, the oldest to score a goal in the World Cup of Hope and Yale — got his first of two, only a few minutes into the game. Zane MacDonald followed up with his first of two for Hope, then James Roksa converted a Yvon McKay corner, heading it in at the back post. Yale countered with two of their own, from Josh Gray and Julio Melendez, to bring it to 3-2 at the half. The weather was dry through the game but the field was slick from days of rain. This played to Hope’s favour, seconds into the next half, when Hon booted a low drive at the Yale net. Rather than bouncing, the ball squirted past the surprised keeper. MacDonald added another for Hope and Yale could only counter with one more, from Dreyden Naistus. The spider-like Webber brothers, Mark and Colin, laid a near-impenetrable web on defence to help Hope’s keeper, Taylor Mitchell. Roksa made a timely slide-tackle late in the game to stop a likely goal and another Yale chance went bouncing off the defence and out. The final score was 5-3. For his efforts, Hon was awarded the Golden Boot trophy. Yale player Josh Gray presented the coveted World Cup trophy to Hope. Over $200 was raised for the Fraser Canyon Hospice Society. After seeing the skill, effort, joy and passion showed by the two teams, both Baerg and Empey agreed that the game needs to be played more frequently than every four years. Perhaps an annual “Canyon Cup?” Yale had better get working on their stadium, if they ever want home-field advantage.

OBITUARIES

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Bill King. Bill passed away peacefully with family by his side on Sunday July 27, 2014 at the Fraser Hope Lodge. He is survived by his wife of 38 years, Liz and his daughter Sarah (Robert) and will be sadly missed by those who knew him. Thank you to the nurses and staff at Fraser Canyon Hospital and Fraser Lodge and to Dr. Nanton for their kindness, special care and attention. A celebration of life will be held later this fall. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Fraser Canyon Hospice Society

McArthur, Robin Malcolm

On Sunday, July 20, 2014 our much loved husband, father, papa & ol’papa left us for the happy hunting grounds to join the ancestors. He will be greatly missed by his wife, four children, eight grandchildren and great-grandson. Howard worked for over 55 years in the BC logging industry and was known for his strong work ethic and resourcefulness in challenging situations. Dad will be remembered for his humility, love of family, and his special way with babies & children. His children, nieces, nephews and grandchildren fondly remember regular outings with “Uncle Howie” to the Dairy Queen, wild rides along the winding roads to “camp” Dad’s joking manner and infectious laugh. We love and miss you so much, Dad, but the pain will ease with each happy memory and funny story recalled. A celebration of Dad’s life will be held on Wednesday, August 6, 2014 at Spuzzum First Nation (30min N of Hope), 12:00 - 3:00. All who knew Dad are welcome. Special thanks to Chilliwack General Hospital staff for their gentle care. In lieu of flowers, donations to BC Children’s Hospital or a charity of your choice would be gratefully accepted.

July 28, 1953 - July 26, 2014 With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Robin Malcolm McArthur. Robin passed away peacefully in his sleep early Saturday morning at Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack, BC. He is now reunited with his parents, Edward Joseph McArthur and Susan Jane McArthur along with his brother Dalton Craig McArthur and father in-law Edward Chernask. He will be greatly missed by his wife Lori Alyn (Chernask) McArthur and his two children Stephen Craig McArthur and Sheena Alyn McArthur (Darrell) along with his brother Stuart McArthur (Lorraine), sisters Ruth McArthur, Kim Haslebacher, Diane Louise Bekker (Ben) as well as 10 nieces and nephews and 15 great nieces and nephews. Robin was born in Penticton but lived most of his life in Hope. He worked for many different companies doing mechanical work, specializing in wiring, finishing his career working for himself at All 4 Services. He was honored to be a member of Hope Volunteer Search and Rescue for 39 years. He spent a few years as the metalwork and mechanics teacher at Hope Secondary School and also really enjoyed his time working with the Discovery Channel on Highway Thru Hell. Robin loved everything that included family. He was a real family man. We would like to thank Dr. Shan, Dr. Brown, Dr. Bull and all the staff at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Cancer Centre and Cascade Hospice. We could never have made it through this journey with Dad if it wasn’t for all of you. In lieu of flowers, we encourage donations to the Pancreatic Cancer Society. Don’t forget to have a Budweiser with “Hollywood” at beer o’clock! A procession will form at 1060 5th Ave. at 3pm on Saturday, August 2 and proceed to the Hope Curling Club for a Celebration of Life at 4pm, followed by a potluck dinner and gathering of his family and friends.

OBITUARIES

JENSEN, Walter On Friday, July 18, Walter Jensen late of Hope, British Columbia slipped quietly home ending his journey on earth. He was 88. Walter was born in Padborg, Denmark on the 27th of March 1926. Always staunchly proud of his Danish roots he left his homeland, family and friends and emigrated to Canada in March of 1953. He was followed shortly by his wife Else and son Soren. Walter quickly embraced his Canadian citizenship, and established a good life for his family as a brilliant automotive technician in Viking, Alberta where he lived and worked for most of his career and began his retirement. He loved his garden and was often heard to say, “I’ve lived a good life.”

Mabel, Louise

STROMQUIST, Howard July 18, 1934 - July 20, 2014

Jan. 23, 1946 - July 10, 2014 Mabel passed away peacefully surrounded by her family after a short, but brave battle with cancer. Mabel was predeceased by her parents Richard & Elsie McKinnon (Richardson), husband James, her son Lorne, and her grandson Justin. She is survived by her daughters Sherri (Jim) and Sheryl (Darren), 4 granddaughters, 2 grandsons and 6 great grandchildren. Mabel grew up in Boston Bar, got married & raised her children in the town she so loved. She wasn’t one to venture far from home often, but as a waitress in town for over 50 years, she saw the world through the hearts and stories of those she met. She could always be counted on to listen and was always genuinely supportive and happy for others. Mabel loved to cook and loved to feed those she cared about. She always had a hot meal and an open door for anyone who may need it. She was an incredibly proud Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother and will be greatly missed. We will be having a Celebration of Life event for Mabel on August 16, 2014 from 1pm to 3pm at the Boston Bar Community Hall. Mabel loved to feed those she cared about, so in lieu of flowers, we ask that you bring a non perishable item for the Boston Bar/North Bend Food Bank or if so desired please make a donation to the Boston Bar/North Bend Food bank at Fraser Canyon Lanes in Boston Bar. Mabel wouldn’t have wanted anything fancy, so please feel free to come dressed casually
