New candidate seeks mayor’s seat Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
A former Hope mayor is planning to run again this November for the community’s top job. Wilfried Vicktor declared his candidacy this week and will be vying for the mayor’s seat this fall against current Coun. Peter Robb, Fraser Valley Regional District area director Lloyd Forman, and local resident Cindy Young. “I think there’s a need for some changes. It’s something I feel I can contribute to and I think my experience will come in handy,” said Vicktor, who currently works for Hope Towing. “I think the public trust of town mayor and council is at a low point

and this is an issue that needs to be addressed. The public should feel like mayor and council are champions for their best interests, and I don’t believe that’s the case right now.” Between 1993 and 2008, Vicktor served as councillor, two-time mayor and two-time school trustee. Looking at the current state of the community, he sees a number of things that need to be addressed. In particular, Vicktor feels mayor and council should have more control over district expenditures and spending priorities, as well as greater transparency and better communication with the public. “When taxes go up, I feel the pain. The tax increases over the last five years have been extraordinary and
people are very concerned,” he added. “I would suggest that council sets clearer direction and staff follows it, not the other way around. Staff sometimes seems to be leading council.” Vicktor is also concerned about the business climate in town and points out that many businesses are dissatisfied with the tax rates. He believes there’s a lot of expertise in the existing business community that can be used to help identify what is not working so that Hope can move forward. “The biggest job of mayor or a council member is to listen to the public, he said. “I kind of see Hope as a big family. We have our family dynamics that are working well, we have some dynamics that need some improve-
ment and we also have a family that has to run its budget very carefully so everyone is taken care of.” The municipal election is set for Nov. 15 and there will also be a referendum on the ballot regarding council size. Voters will be asked whether they are in favour of reducing the number of councillors from six to four. Vicktor said he’s not in favour of reducing the number of councillors as it would be “very dysfunctional if there’s a clique on council.” “In an ideal world, council members would vote independently, regardless of who they’re friends with and regardless of personal or business contacts. But in the real world, unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.”

New proposals expected in upcoming teacher talks Tom Fletcher Black Press
Negotiators for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and school districts are meeting Friday for the first time since schools were shuttered by a strike in late June, and Education Minister Peter Fassbender expects new proposals from both sides. Fassbender said Tuesday it’s the first meeting of full bargaining teams in more than a month, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association has some “new concepts” to bring to the discussion. “We’ve already demonstrated our willingness to move on some key elements,” he said. “We need to see the same from the BCTF. They’ve indicated they’re willing to do that.”
He wouldn’t comment on the new proposals, except to reiterate that the BCTF’s position on benefits and other compensation is not in the “affordability zone” established by other public sector union agreements. If the strike shuts schools again in September, the government plans to use the savings to compensate parents $40 a day for each child under 13 in public school, to assist with daycare or tutoring costs. Fassbender said there would be no conditions attached to the payout. “My hope is that there isn’t a nickel available as of September, because schools are operating, teachers are back in the classroom, students are there and there is no further disrup-
tion,” he said. Last week, BCTF president Jim Iker termed the move “a blatant and divisive attempt to prolong disruption in B.C. schools” and renewed his call for a mediator to help bridge the differences between the government and the union. NDP education critic Rob Fleming also called the announcement a “trial balloon” that suggests the dispute may be months away from resolution. “I think parents are going to look at this and say, ‘you know what, school is not daycare’,” Fleming said. The long-running dispute over class size and special needs support is headed back to court this fall. The B.C. School Trustees’
Association has urged the government to direct its $12 million a day in payroll savings from the strike to a fund to address class size and special needs support. Trustees have also called on the union to moderate its benefit demands, which include parental leave, dental benefits, massage therapy and increased preparation time for elementary school teachers. BCPSEA has offered $375 million over a six-year contract term to provide extra classroom support, and specified class size limits in the teacher contract, to address key issues in a series of court disputes. There is no plan to recall the B.C. legislature before a fall session scheduled to begin Oct. 6.
Othello bridge closed for season Erosion has broken the continuous connection between the five Othello Tunnels in Coquihalla Canyon Park. The province is asking visitors to obey safety measures put in
place after the bridge connecting tunnels two and three received structural damage to its foundation. According to BC Parks, this bridge will remain closed for the rest of the season
while repairs are being made. Tunnels one and two remain accessible from the parking lot, and tunnels three, four and five are accessible from the Kettle Valley Railway Trail.
A continuous route through the park, which would bypass the tunnels and follow the historic Hope-Nicola Trail, is currently under development and is expected to be in place soon.
BC Parks is working closely with the community of Hope and others to repair the bridge. Updates on the project will be provided via the BC Parks’ website at www.BCParks.ca
Break and enter at construction site More than 100 items were stolen from a construction site just west of the 26000 block of the Trans Canada Highway earlier this week. The theft happened
sometime overnight between July 27 and July 28. There are two large trailers on the site that were been broken into and $46,000 worth of tools and items were
stolen. Some of the items taken include a Honda Generator, a Stihl chainsaw, four Norbar Torque wrenches, and a set of Helly Hanson rain gear.
“In considering the logistics, it would have taken a long time to load all these items and likely more than one person to do it all,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck.
Anyone with information regarding this theft is asked to contact Hope RCMP at 604-8697750 or Crime Stopper at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Senseless trench war The provincial government’s offer to pay families of school-aged children $40 a day if the current contract impasse with teachers carries into the fall is just another example of the deep-seated enmity between the two sides that stands between a settlement. On the surface it seems like a good deal; roll the money the government isn’t paying teachers if they’re on strike straight over to parents to ease their financial burden of making alternate arrangements for minding their kids. But it’s also another shot across the bow of the teachers, a cynical jab that equates their duties with little more than institutional daycare. Finance Minister Mike de Jong’s announcement of the program last Thursday was short on details. He said families of the province’s 300,000 children up to age 12 who attend public schools would have to register for the compensation. He didn’t say where those 300,000 children could go if they still can’t attend school come September. As anyone who has ever tried to find daycare knows, 300,000 spots aren’t going to be created in five weeks. Nor will $40 go very far to compensate a parent who has to stay home from work to mind their child. And while de Jong boasted the program would have no net cost to the government, what about the cost of implementing it? A bureaucracy created in five weeks to design the registration system, vet applicants and dole out the money won’t come cheaply. Educating our children is worth more than $40 a day. Those children deserve better than to be treated as ammunition in this senseless trench war between adults who should know better. - Black Press
Summertime and drinking is easy B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The B.C. government’s move to ease liquor restrictions is undergoing its hot summer test, and music festivals are only part of it. Premier Christy Clark’s government loves its populist gestures, and as with increasing rural highway speed limits, the negative effects have yet to be quantified. Free-range drinking, or removing fences from festival beer gardens, is one of the moves that will be undergoing a post-mortem as communities clean up after their big summer parties. One of the biggest, the Squamish Valley Music Festival with headline acts Arcade Fire, Bruno Mars and
Eminem, is still to come, Aug. 8 to 10. Country fans gathered over the long weekend for Sunfest in the Cowichan Valley, with the Rockin’ River Musicfest in Mission coming up next. (Another big bash next weekend is Shambhala, the popular electronic music event on a farm near Nelson, but alcohol is officially banned there and their big issue is controlling the effects of “ecstasy” and other rave drugs.) Early reviews of free-range festivals have been positive. Victoria’s Rock the Shores event went smoothly without a fenced-in area for alcohol sales. Festival organizers did create a fenced “dry” area, but I’m told hardly anyone used it. Penticton has had its share of experience with summer bashes gone bad. For B.C. Day it inherited the Boonstock Music and Arts festival,

sent packing from a small community in Alberta after complaints of rowdy crowds and crime, so Penticton officials were understandably cautious. Boonstock organizers were refused a provincial liquor licence after struggling to arrange security and emergency services. The festival licence process is likely getting renewed attention these days. After attending the recent Calgary Folk Festival, where the beer garden was securely fenced and the capacity monitored, I’m wondering what is really achieved by these measures. Litter and empties were contained, but since under-aged festival visitors are allowed into the serving area, it’s not clear to me whether the fence was ever worth the effort. It’s unlikely that there will be riots at farm markets as a result of allowing sales of locally made beer,

wine and spirits, or from relaxing rules for operation of winery tasting rooms. But there are more reforms to come. New regulations are on the way for the Agricultural Land Reserve. As it stands, farms are allowed to have a winery or cidery, but not a brewery or distillery. Expect that to be changed as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry. One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow “happy hour” discounts in pubs. The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance busi-

ness-friendly policy with legitimate public health concern about overconsumption. But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this, and the government over-reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an ill-thought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only. The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of knee-jerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug himself.

Locals help reunite lost dog with owner My faith in Hope has been restored – and all because of a dog named Milwaukee from Chilliwack. This dog got spooked and ran off from his people while up hiking the Coquihalla near Zopkios Ridge rest stop. He was found a day later by a kind trucker who was on his way back out to Calgary. While stopping at the Hope Husky, he mentioned finding the dog to Janet and Charlie (Shirley), who work at the restaurant. They didn’t recognize the dog and the trucker said that he would hold onto the dog and pass through Hope again in a few days, figuring that maybe the owners could be found in the meantime. That same day, while I was at
the local Envision in Hope, selling tickets for an upcoming fundraiser at the Goldrush Pub for Our Last Hope Animal Rescue Society, one of the ladies approached our table and told us about the lost dog – a border collie – and what had happened with the trucker. She asked what we thought she should do. I gave her one of our cards and told her to call Jeneane Ruschiensky, the founder of our group, to get her thoughts. She thanked me and went on her way. When I returned home, there was an email notice from Petsearchers who had a posting for a border collie, lost in the Coquihalla area. I replied with all the information
I had (at that time, I did not know Charlie’s name), including the location of the Hope Husky station. The hunt was on and several people on-line joined in the search for Milwaukee and the mystery trucker. Within 24 hours the trucker was located and the owners were gratefully on their way to Calgary to pick up the sorely missed pup. The reason I am writing this letter to the editor is to let people know in this town and elsewhere, and in particular those who participated so willingly in the “search and rescue” of Milwaukee, that working together we can do good things. Like helping a lost dog find his way home.
From the trucker, to Charlie and Janet, to the many people on line, we all joined forces and made something great happen. Something seemingly small, but something great; and that gives me faith in Hope and the people who are my neighbours. To some, rescuing a dog is no big deal, but it certainly was to some people in Hope. So to Charlie and Janet, to the unnamed trucker, and everyone who offered their time and help, thank you. You wrote the happy ending to this story of a dog named Milwaukee. With sincere appreciation and gratitude, Sharlene Harrison-Hinds
Small birds are important to our ecosystem Re: Cats should be allowed to be cats, Letters (July 31) Besides the fact that small birds eat millions of mosquitos and other pests, they are important to our ecosystem and some people actually enjoy them. Small animals scavenge and keep our world and local areas clean of human garbage (thrown aside rather than into a container) and other natural garbage which occurs every day. They are also very important to our eco-
system. I can tell you why you need to keep your animals under control. Your neighbours, of which I may be one, are really tired of getting our gardens and grounds dug up and dumped in constantly. I have a vegetable garden as well as flower gardens which I have to cover up and constrain with netting to control the cats in my neighbourhood. For some I really don’t want my vegetable garden pooped in! Now that I have gone to all that work,
they get tired of trying to get into the garden and they poop all over my lawn. Obviously I am the one that has to clean it up and you don’t have to. We also have a deck with some comfortable chairs on it that the cats of neighbourhood (probably including yours) have decided are a haven for rainy days and rainy nights. They have sprayed all over everything on my deck to the point where we have had to power wash several times during the
first months that we moved here. We have now closed the deck in so that we can lock the cats out overnight. Why do we have to go to all this extra trouble and expense to keep your “pets” out of my face. But you are insistent that your cat must be free. My dog is leashed at all times when it is out of my yard. I clean up after my dog as it is my duty to do so as an owner of a pet and I am happy to do so as I am a responsible owner.

Only in this way can a settlement be reached. Of course if you sit back and enjoy your summer recess until October you can end the strike with legisla-

The province has adjusted its new minimum prices for alcohol in the wake of criticism over the rollout of new rules allowing “happy hour” discounts. A new category for draft beer creates a minimum charge of $12 for a 60-ounce pitcher – down from $15 previously announced – or $0.20 per ounce for large volumes over 50 ounces instead of $0.25, which still applies to smaller glasses and pints. “Upon reviewing B.C.’s minimum prices, we realized they weren’t on par with consumers’ expectations and we took action to find a fair compromise that still upholds B.C.’s high standards for health and safety,” said MLA John Yap, who heads the province’s liquor policy reforms. The new regulations let bars and restaurants charge lower prices for selective times or occasions, but forced some low-price establishments to raise prices to match the new minimums. That will still be the case for pints in some locales – bars that had charged less than $5 must raise their prices to that minimum for 20 ounces. The province has also increased the minimum price for spirits from $2 to $3 per ounce. Addictions experts had called for higher minimum pricing to reduce health and safety risks to

drinkers. Alliance of Beverage Licensees executive director Jeff Guignard supported the spirit price increase in the interests of public safety, noting a patron previously could have bought five singleounce shots for $10. But he said the lower minimum beer pitcher price of $12 against a minimum 20-ounce pint price of $5 may encourage over-drinking and intoxication. “You’re more likely to start sharing pitchers than you are to buy individual pints,” he said.

limit a single serving of beer to 24 ounces, so pitchers can’t be ordered by a lone patron. But Guignard noted it’s harder for a server to track how much patrons are drinking when they’re ordering beer by pitchers instead of glasses. “You don’t know if a particular person has had one pint or had the entire pitcher.” The new minimums mean little for bars and restaurants that charge higher prices already. Guignard senses a “rural-urban divide” in which many Interior bars charging lower prices
than the new minimum will have to raise prices, while that won’t generally be the case in much of the Lower Mainland, outside of parts of Vancouver. He said the industry now hopes for stability and certainty. “This is now the third time they’ve changed minimum pricing,” Guignard said. “It’s all a bit confusing and annoying.” Lower prices can be selectively offered for “ladies night” specials or “team night” for players in uniform. Minimum prices do not apply to catered events, or special occasion licences.

Mount Polley mine tailings spill raises fear for Fraser salmon
Quesnel Lake is part of a sockeye spawning system that connects with the Fraser River. An estimated 1.5 million migrating salmon are destined for this lake.
veniles rearing in the lake right now,” he said. “We don’t know if it’s going to accumulate in their bodies or potentially affect their olfactions, their ability to find their home waters.” Resident fish at risk include threatened bull trout and plentiful rainbow trout. At a news conference in Likely, Imperial Metals president Brian Kynoch said the water in the pond is tested with rainbow trout, and its arsenic level is one fifth of the limit for drinking water. He described the effluent as “relatively benign.” The huge spill of tailings and water tore down Hazeltine Creek, which is where endangered Interior coho salmon are supposed
to spawn in a few weeks. Gord Sterritt, executive director of the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance, said the group, which represents 23 First Nations from Williams Lake to the Fraser’s headwaters, had already raised concerns that planned releases of effluent into the creek by mine operator Imperial Metals might harm the coho. Chinook salmon also spawn near the outlet of Quesnel Lake at the Quesnel River. “Those fish will be holding or just about to enter the spawning grounds pretty quick,” Sterritt said. “We’re pretty concerned about what the toxic elements are going to do those fish.

An estimated 1.5 million migrating Fraser River sockeye salmon are destined for Quesnel Lake, which has now been contaminated by the Mount Polley mine tailings pond spill. The Quesnel system sockeye make up a major portion of what’s hoped to be a record run this year, said Craig Orr, executive director of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society. “This is one of the greatest environmental disasters we’ve had on the Fraser,” Orr said. “Some of the effluent will be getting in the Fraser. The big question is how concentrated, how harmful it will be. Some of these compounds have short term impacts and some have much longer term impacts.” While the Quesnel Lake stocks are among the Fraser’s most abundant, Orr is particularly concerned that other much weaker stocks that spawn in other tributaries of the Fraser could be harmed. “People have to be concerned about not just what it means for the returning fish but for the ju-
there’s the scouring of the debris pile that is potentially going to be moving down the lake and into the river.” Contamination that reaches the mainstem Fraser could affect fish spawning hundreds of kilometres away, such as in Stuart Lake near Fort St. James. Sterritt said he’s fielding calls from First Nations as far downstream as Lillooet that are alarmed about the potential impact on their food fisheries. Kynoch said the pond water nearly meets drinking water standards and the main threat to fish is from the silt, which he said is settling rapidly. Sto:lo fishery advisor Ernie Crey said there remains widespread concern in aboriginal communities. “Eventually, this stuff will wend its way into the Fraser,” he said. Orr noted the spill came just three days after provincial government approval of the new KSM gold mine near the headwaters of the Nass River. The KSM project, near the Alaska border at Stewart, includes tunnels to carry ore 23 km away for processing and shipping, to satisfy Alaska’s concerns about fisheries and tourism.

Sockeye opening despite survival concerns Jeff Nagel Black Press
Commercial fishermen and sports anglers are now getting their first crack at what’s hoped to be a record return of Fraser River sockeye salmon. A 38-hour opening for commercial gillnetters took place over the B.C. Day long weekend in Johnstone Strait near Campbell River, likely the first of several openings this summer. Recreational fishing for sockeye in marine areas last Friday and on tidal sections of the lower Fraser Sunday, with non-tidal areas further upstream opened Wednesday. Department of Fisheries and Oceans area director Les Jantz said most sockeye stocks appear to be coming in close to or slightly below expectations. There’s no in-season estimate of the run size yet, but the mid-range forecast was for 23 million sockeye, with potential for that to be as low as 7.2 million and as high as 72 million due to an unusual level of uncertainty. Fishery managers are carefully watching to ensure

enough sockeye get back upstream to spawn in light of challenging river conditions. Water levels are 11 per cent below normal, which Jantz said also means the river can heat up fast to dangerously warm temperatures in a bout
of hot weather. The river temperature was 18.4 degrees on July 31 – 0.7 degrees higher than average for this date – and expected to warm to 20.7 degrees in the next few days. Sustained exposure to wa-
ter at that temperature can stress migrating sockeye, killing many before they spawn. DFO will this year let up to 65 per cent of the run be caught or die of other causes on their migration, an increase from 60 per cent in
past years to allow more fishing opportunity. That decision has been criticized by conservation groups that say DFO has authorized overfishing that will result in a high bycatch of threatened stocks, such as Cultus Lake
sockeye and Interior coho, which migrate alongside the more abundant sockeye. Jantz said DFO is prepared to make further adjustments to the fishing plan as more run size information comes in to ensure weak stocks aren’t severely damaged by the sockeye fishery. Fishing by First Nations for food, social and ceremonial purposes has been underway since late July, with 70,000 sockeye caught as of Aug. 1. Aboriginal groups will also get to fish commercially for sale under “economic opportunity” agreements with DFO. The high uncertainty over this year’s run is because a huge number of sockeye returned four years ago. “Some of the levels of spawn we witnessed were considerably larger than anything we had ever witnessed in the past,” he said. While that creates potential for a massive record run, veteran sockeye watchers know disappointment could be blamed on anything from predators in the open ocean to excessive competition for food among all those juvenile salmon.
Local tackle shop gears up for busy fishing week Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
With the Fraser River now open for sockeye fishing, Trends on End is expecting a boost in business. The local outdoor equipment store on Wallace Street has already seen an increase in traffic through the front door since the pink salmon opening on July 16. They are selling salmon and sturgeon tags on a daily basis. “Hope is a tourist spot. People come from all over the province and out of province to visit,” said Lily DeSerranno, who operates the store with her husband Daniel. After running an online store for a few years, the Hope couple decided to open a shop last Au-
gust near Envision Financial. They started primarily as an emergency preparedness retailer but decided to add fishing gear and tackle to the business when they relocated to Wallace Street in February. “All the clients were telling us that since Cheyenne Sports closed, there’s been no one else carrying fishing products,” said DeSerranno. “We felt there was a need and we’re always changing and adding stuff to meet that need. It makes so many local people happy because now they don’t have to drive down to Chilliwack for just a few little things.” Trends on End carries the basic gear needed for trout, salmon, and steelhead fishing in the area. Currently, the bouncing
betty and leader saver lures are the most popular with anglers. The store also offers fishing licences, camping supplies, bear safety products, gold panning equipment, and hunting knives. DeSerranno said they plan to start selling hunting licences this fall and will be looking at bringing in products for snow sports. In addition to the variety of outdoor gear, Trends on End offers a unique shopping experience with Lily’s Back Room Boutique. The collection of hand-made jewelry and apparel cater to DeSerranno’s love for “funky designs.” For more information on the store, visit toecanada.com or visit the Trends on End Facebook Page.

JACOBS, Gilbert Francis February 17, 1930 – August 1, 2014 It is with sadness but trust in the Risen Lord that we say goodbye to Gilbert Jacobs who died suddenly of a stroke on the morning of August 1. Gil is survived by his wife, Mary Lou; and his children, Mike (Kim), Bernadine, Kate (Jon) and daughter –in –law Shawneen; and his grandchildren, Brandon, Erin, Kevin, Craig and Beckett. Sadly predeceased by his daughter, Mary and his son, Frank. Gil was born in Heisler AB, and grew up in Summerland BC where some of his best friends still live. Gil graduated in 1953 with a BASc in Civil Engineering from the University of British Columbia. He began his career with Alberta Highways before joining Emil Anderson Construction in 1954. Gil left his mark on many major projects around the province including the original Vancouver Island Highway, the original Sea to Sky Highway, the Fraser Canyon and tunnel projects in Oregon, Jordan River and Tumbler Ridge. He was a highly skilled engineer, extraordinary leader and industry pioneer. Gil became President of Emil Anderson Construction in 1976 and led the company for almost 30 years as it diversified into Highway Maintenance, Land Development and Housing. Gil was always a supporter of his church and community with numerous churches, church halls and Westminster
EDUCATION
Abbey in Mission BC being the beneficiary of his building and fundraising talents. Gil also played a major role in the initial building of the Hope Golf Course and subsequent improvement projects in its 50-year history. He was a two-term alderman for the Town of Hope, Past Chair of the BC and Western Canada Roadbuilders Association, CCA Director and a member of many other construction industry initiatives and committees. Gil loved sports having been a top high school baseball pitcher and was an avid supporter of the Hope Swim Club and many Hope Secondary basketball teams. He enjoyed golfing, skiing with his family at the Apex Cabin, salmon fishing, and duck hunting with his pals on the frozen prairies. We would like to thank Fraser Hope Lodge and all his caregivers for their excellent care during his 10 month stay. Special thanks to Pinky Ortilla his primary caregiver this last 30 months. A Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, August 9, at 11 AM, at Our Lady of Good Hope Church, 671 Water Ave, Hope B.C. In lieu of flowers, Memorial Donations may be made in memory of Gilbert to the Alzheimer Society of BC or to the Fraser Hope Lodge. Send condolences at www.mbfunerals.com.
Mary Reid passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family at Fraser Canyon Hospital on Monday July 28, 2014. Mary was predeceased by her husband Jack, her daughter Lynda, her son Bryan and her sister-in-law Mary Reid. She is survived by daughters Sharon (Gerry), Wendy (Metro) and Donna (Jack) and grandchildren Gary, Kerry, Theresa, Tara, Dana and Kye and 9 great grandchildren. Mary was born in Perce, Quebec but lived most of her life in Hope BC, the town she so loved. She was a talented seamstress, an amazing cook and, most of all, a masterful gardener. Her beautiful yard was her pride and joy and was known to many as mini-Minters. A graveside service was held at Mountainview Cemetery on Thursday July 31, 2014 where Mary was laid to rest next to her beloved husband Jack. For Our Mother...with Love who taught us to appreciate the beauty around us, and the ability a garden has to give joy, tranquility, and to heal a soul. Our sincere thanks to Dr. Greggain, to Linda Yearwood and to the nursing staff at Fraser Canyon Hospital for the compassionate care they provided Mary in the last days of her life. Thanks also to Dr. Botha for the kindness and humour he shared with Mom over the years. A very heart felt thank you to the staff at Riverside manor for the support they gave to Mary during the six years she resided there. And to the Bredoff family, you hold a special place in our hearts for always being there for Mom when she needed you. In lieu of flowers donations to Covenant House or the Heart & Stroke Foundation would be gratefully appreciated.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Willie on July 28th, at the age of 88 at Fraser Canyon Hospital. He was born in Berlin Germany but moved to Canada in 1975. He has raised his family in Hope since 1981. He is survived by his wife, Monika of 51 years and his son Armin. He is predeceased by his son Toni in 2007. He swam at the Hope Rec. Centre on a daily basis and is well known for his wood craftsmanship on Silver Skagit Road. A special thank you to the staff at Fraser Canyon Hospital, Hope Home Health and Hope Paramedics. There will be no service by his request. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Fraser Canyon Hospice Society.
