Coquihalla Elementary School students line up for their busses after the first full day back at school on Tuesday. Teachers ratified a six-year contract last week, signalling an end to their five-week strike which started in June. With school back in session, drivers are reminded a 30-km/h speed limit is in effect in school zones from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Students returned to class on Monday, after B.C. teachers voted strongly in favour of ending their strike and returning to work. B.C. Teachers’ Federation members voted 86 per cent in favour of a six-year agreement negotiated with the help of mediator Vince Ready last week. About three out of four of the province’s 40,000 teachers voted. “I’m happy with this deal,” said BCTF president Jim Iker. It gives the province’s teachers raises totalling 7.25 per cent over six years, improvements to benefits and

a fund to hire hundreds of new teachers each year. Iker said the turnout for the vote was higher than the union’s last two ratification votes. Education Minister Peter Fassbender congratulated teachers on the settlement, which ends a bitter strike that shut schools for two weeks in June and another three weeks this month. “We can now focus on the path forward,” Fassbender said. “This long-term agreement is a historic opportunity to work together for students – to enhance their education experience and to support their achievements.” Premier Christy Clark added
her thanks on Twitter. “This is a fair, affordable deal that will let us focus on putting students first,” Clark said. Most school districts in the province reopened on Monday, and the ministry has notified superintendents that the school year will not be extended to make up the days lost to the strike. Provincial exams scheduled in November will proceed as scheduled and students who were not able to write some elements of their English 10 and Social Studies 11 exams due to the strike last June will be able to write those exam elements in November. For students on an adjusted se-
mester schedule, the Ministry of Education will schedule an additional set of provincial exam dates in the first week of February so that students can write their exams with equal number of instructional days. Fraser-Cascade school district superintendent Karen Nelson also said teachers will review and adapt the curriculum to best to meet the needs of students. The finance ministry is preparing to send out compensation of $40 per lost student day to parents of students up to age 12. One-time payments are expected to be sent out in October to eligible parents who registered at bcparentinfo.ca

Upcoming forum offers MS support Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
The MS Society is hosting an education and outreach forum on Oct. 1 at the Hope recreation centre. Participants can book a private appointment with a community services coordinator who can provide counselling, advocacy, multiple sclerosis (MS) information, or help with navigating the health care system. “We’re just trying to extend our reach and make sure that
people in the Hope area know they are not alone in their challenge against MS,” said Jacqueline Hunter, one of the event coordinators with the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley MS Society chapters. “There’s a lot more awareness about MS then there was say 20 years ago and it’s also been made more increasingly livable.” MS is considered to be an autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord) that attacks myelin, the
protective covering of the nerves. MS can cause symptoms such as extreme fatigue, lack of coordination, weakness, tingling, impaired sensation, vision problems, bladder problems, cognitive impairment and mood changes. It can occur at any age, but is usually diagnosed between the ages of 15 to 40. An estimated 100,000 Canadians are living with MS and while there’s no cure, researchers are learning more about what causes MS and are zeroing in on

ways to prevent it. The MS Society offers selfhelp groups and a peer support program throughout the Fraser Valley.

Paddle the Fraser on World Rivers Day The Hope Mountain Centre is hosting another special event this Sunday to honour the Fraser River in celebration of World Rivers Day. A paddle trip for canoes and kayaks will take participants downriver from Kilby to Mission. Mark Angelo, founder of World Rivers Day, calls the Hope-to-Mission stretch the “Heart of the
Fraser” in honour of the ecological wealth found there. Millions of pink and chum salmon spawn in the Fraser mainstem between Hope and Mission, and the river supports at least 30 other species of fresh-water fish, including the largest population of white sturgeon in Canada. Many bird and mammal species are also supported by the

river and its forests. River scientists will be joining the paddle trip this year. Jordan Rosenfeld, a professional fish biologist, will be netting and identifying fish for the audience. Retired UBC professor Mike Church will also be along for the ride. He is a river morphologist widely considered to be the leading “Gravel Guru” for the Fraser. The paddle
trip includes lunch and bus transportation between Kilby and Mission, and there are motorized raft options for people who don’t want to paddle.

New reading group in Hope Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard
Read Right Society is launching a new reading group this week called Traditional Tales. The free program was initially intended for adults speaking English as a second language, but was expanded to promote learning for all beginner readers. “The goal or purpose of the group is to improve the reading skills and comfort level of the participants,” said ESL outreach coordinator Larissa Dyble. “The pro-
gram will be formatted as a casual group conversation, where participants can have the opportunity to practice reading aloud, listening to others and having a lead conversation about the story, movie adaptations, and other variations.” As a group, participants will read classic and familiar stories such as Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, The Three Little Pigs, and The Tortoise and the Hair. There will then be a discussion about the story to work on comprehension and hopefully improve some insight to
the tales and their variations. The reading group starts today (Sept. 25) and will run on Thursdays from 12:30-2 p.m. until November. There isn’t a specific end date, as the stories covered will be determined based on participant interest. For more information about Traditional Tales, call 604-8691363 or email larissa.readright@ gmail.com. The Read Right Society is located in Unit F of the SOCIA building, 895 3rd Ave.
Cities call municipal pay review flawed Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C. cities are firing back at the province for commissioning what they call a flawed and biased review of rising municipal compensation levels. The Ernst and Young report criticized cities for allowing staff pay levels to climb by 38 per cent – twice the rate of the provincial public service – from 2001-12. It also suggested municipal managers are paid too much and recommended the province take strong action to curb the trend, potentially by threatening to reduce municipal grants. The report hasn’t been released by the province but was leaked last week via the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and has cast a chill on municipalprovincial relations as politicians meet in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. UBCM president Rhona Martin said the authors didn’t consult cities or unions, showed a “lack of objectivity” and relied heavily on provincial data and anti-tax lobby groups like the CTF. They admitted the data was limited but drew strongly worded conclusions anyway, she added. Martin said the report’s

suggestion of placing municipal compensation under provincial control – potentially with centralized collective bargaining – would have “profound consequences.” The review was part of the province’s core review with a goal of ensuring public sector pay levels are appropriate. The province has had increasing trouble filling non-union ministerial positions as the pay premium diminishes compared to both government union jobs and municipal government positions, the review indicated. Community Min-
ister Coralee Oakes urged Martin on Sept. 9 to formally commit to jointly explore both the province’s aim of payroll cost control as well as UBCM’s ideas to strengthen the finances of its member cities. Oakes had proposed a signing ceremony at UBCM when the government-sponsored review would be unveiled. But Martin noted the province rebuffed UBCM proposals tabled a year ago for municipal finance reforms, including a suggestion that provincial government revenues be shared with cities during
economic boom times. Instead of exploring those ideas, Martin said in a message to UBCM members, the province countered with its own report that was “narrowly focused on compensation comparisons based on an incomplete data set.” In a Sept. 12 reply letter, Martin told Oakes the report’s limitations and lack of consultation make a formal commitment “inappropriate” and said the suggestion of centralized collective bargaining is “problematic” in the current labour relations environment. The review was leaked to the CTF over the Sept. 13-14 weekend. Metro Vancouver board chair Greg Moore called the report “extremely disappointing” and “profoundly disrespectful” to cities. “Municipal councils are not agents of the province,” Moore said, adding they are democratically accountable to local voters and any move to impose a provincial compensation philosophy on cities would pose a direct challenge to their autonomy. The Metro board decided at an in-camera meeting Friday to hire its own expert to analyze the province’s compensation review.

Two of B.C.’s first enterovirus cases in Fraser Health region Jeff Nagel Black Press
Three B.C. residents are the province’s first lab-confirmed cases of a virus causing severe respiratory illness in children elsewhere in North America. Two of the B.C. cases of enterovirus D68 are children from the Fraser Health region, while the third is a young adult male from the Interior. Both Fraser Health cases were treated in Vancouver and have since been discharged from hospital. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, said there are at least three more suspected cases and it’s likely numerous others have been exposed to the virus or may have felt only minor symptoms. So far B.C. hospitals haven’t seen the sharp spike in respiratory illness that could be tied to the virus, which has stricken more than 130 children in a dozen U.S. states and at least 18 in Alberta. All indicators have been within seasonal levels, Skowronski said. “We know it’s in the community and it’s not yet associated with out-
breaks,” she said. “But this may be an early warning signal to us that what’s happening elsewhere may be upon us here in B.C.” Enterovirus activity is seasonal – it peaks in summer and fall – so she said there’s a chance it could soon dissipate here. Telltale symptoms of enterovirus D68 are wheezing or difficulty breathing deep in the lungs and children with past respiratory trouble, such as asthma, are believed at greater risk. Most victims don’t have a fever, Skowronski said, adding absence of one shouldn’t be taken by parents as a sign not to worry. While most U.S. cases have involved very young pre-schoolers, B.C.’s first three cases are older, ranging from nine to 19 years of age. Skowronski said the virus is not new – there have been outbreaks of it before – and variants circulate each year. “We shouldn’t freak out,” she said, noting there have been no deaths and all patients are expected to recover. But nor should it be dismissed,
she added, because it’s causing severe illness, particularly in children, who sometimes require hospitalization and intensive care. “This may be a particularly nasty variant circulating,” she said. There’s no vaccine or specific treatment for enterovirus D68, leaving public health officials to stress the usual ways to prevent the spread of viruses – frequent handwashing, coughing into the elbow and staying home if sick with a suspected respiratory infection. Regular cleaning of surfaces at home and in schools can also help limit the spread, said Fraser Health medical health officer Dr. Michelle Murti. She noted the end of the B.C. teachers strike may be a factor in the days ahead. “Kids are going back to school now so there might be more exposure or passing of the illness,” she said. “That’s a time when more germs are spread around.” Staff at Fraser facilities have been advised to be on alert to the virus and particularly to worsening conditions in children with a history of asthma, Murti said.

Opinion
Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press
B.C. faces growth challenges Statistics Canada’s latest population projections do not bode well for B.C.’s future, on a number of counts. The federal agency has B.C. falling to fourth-largest province in the country, with Alberta moving ahead of it to third. This is projected to happen over the next 20 years or so. B.C. will still be growing — but at a lesser rate than Alberta is projected to grow. Perhaps more dramatically though, B.C.’s population of seniors is expected to grow the most, to 27 per cent of the population by 2038. This is a higher-than-usual percentage of seniors, who for the most part will not be working and contributing to long-term economic growth. At the same time, they will put added pressure on the health care system, which already has significant challenges in keeping up with demand. This is not to say that seniors are bad for a province or an economy. It is simply that their needs bring new challenges to an economy which is already hobbled by minimal growth, and to a province where every resource-based proposal is met with a fury of opposition, leading to very few economic growth options coming to fruition. A province cannot thrive long-term without economic growth. Simple population growth is not enough. B.C. is already a very expensive place to live, with housing prices in the Lower Mainland among the highest in the country. At the same time, few younger people have the opportunity to make really good incomes, and are thus handicapped from getting ahead. Taxes in B.C. are already quite high, which is masked by the sleight-ofhand about low income tax rates. However, when the seven per cent PST, ICBC rates, ferry fares, BC Hydro rates (all of which are tax increases), TransLink taxes and MSP premiums are taken into account, taxes are quite onerous on many people already. Low economic growth will inevitably lead to even higher taxes. The provincial government is trying to expand jobs in the province, by working hard to attract LNG plants and at least having an open mind on pipelines, mines and other projects. It meets opposition at almost every turn, and many B.C. residents simply don’t understand economics. B.C. weather and scenery are great, but they don’t pay the bills. - Black Press
Report card time for local politicians B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher This November, voters will be hiring local politicians for a fouryear term, rather than three. It’s a good time to ask some tough questions about the performance of councils on the job they are assigned to do, as opposed to posturing about senior government matters. Remember when it was fashionable for city councils to declare their communities “a nuclear weapons-free zone”? You can still see the signs entering Vancouver and Nanaimo. Alert voters may wonder: “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” Yes, they did. And some of them still do.
To illustrate, allow me to introduce my poster child for bad local government, Victoria city councillor Ben Isitt. A long-time NDP activist, Isitt got elected three years ago after raising his name recognition with a couple of runs for mayor. His rookie term has been notable for a series of stunts that extend his career as a professional student, campus radical and occasional history lecturer. One of Isitt’s big studies is the influence of Soviet communism on the B.C. NDP. He was on one of his visits to Russia earlier this year when President Vladimir Putin was having his way with Crimea. Isitt’s fondness for state control was on display last fall when aboriginal protesters disrupted natural gas drilling in New Brunswick, torching several police vehicles in the process.

decry the federal government’s use of police against the population, and suggested Canada should emulate Venezuela, where petroleum resources benefit the people rather than corporations. Venezuela sells gasoline for nine cents a gallon, the late Hugo Chavez’s gift to his people after nationalizing the oil industry. The capital, Caracas, is famous for extreme poverty, brutally suppressed riots, and a crime rate so bad it ranks among the world’s most dangerous cities. How does Isitt’s political outlook translate to his role in local government? This week local politicians gather in Whistler for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. One of Isitt’s first contributions a couple of years ago was at a UBCM workshop on how to finance local infrastructure.

Isitt proposed setting up a municipal income tax. Presumably this would be on top of property taxes. In its wisdom, Victoria council appointed Isitt as their Capital Regional District representative. In that capacity he led the charge against Canada Post’s decision to wind up door-to-door delivery for the minority of people who aren’t already using community mailboxes. After instructing Ottawa to accelerate the bankruptcy of this Crown corporation, Isitt began ordering the province to intervene in a dispute over Grace Islet, a rocky point off Salt Spring Island where an Alberta man is trying to build a retirement home. The dispute centres on aboriginal burial grounds and artifacts, and Isitt appointed himself advocate for the grievances of native people. When the B.C. government

didn’t follow his instructions, he demanded that the CRD expropriate the land and evict the owner. Island politics being what it is, this was actually considered before cooler heads prevailed. And how are things with the CRD’s real job while the Isitt circus rolls on? The most over-governed region in B.C. remains locked in a bitter turf war over a federally mandated sewage treatment project, and is on the verge of forfeiting hundreds of millions in provincial funds. So voters should ask themselves a couple of questions this November. Is your council doing the job it was hired to do? And do you trust these individuals with your wallet until the fall of 2018?

Hope Standard Thursday, September 25, 2014 A9
Let me start off by saying how supportive and caring Hope can be. Talking to some of you during this mayoral campaign has been enlightening and grounding at the same time. Listening to everyone’s ideas on how to move our town forward has been very educational, and I appreciate you listening to my ideas and debating them with me as we get a deeper understanding of the challenges ahead. During these conversations it has come up more than once about how my health is doing. Many of you know I stepped down from the Chamber of Commerce to work on my health. So in the spirit of full disclosure, I would like to tell you
what happened and what is happening. First off, and let me make this perfectly clear, I am proud of the work we accomplished with the Chamber during my tenure: putting on a series of business seminars with the help of Gerry Dyble and Wes Bergmann, advocating for an intermunicipal business license which now gives us one of the largest trading zones in the province, helping found Hope Mountain Market with the help of Stephanie Hooker and Tammy Shields and later Shanon Fischer, and bringing to Hope, Trevor Linden, to talk about the business climate we are currently experiencing, and how businesses like his own have had to adapt to those changes. When I first became Chamber president,
I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. I hadn’t been feeling well physically, not my strongest. And while this diagnosis affects a lot of people today, once all the numbers were in and tests were done it was determined my heart was only pumping at 32 per cent efficiency. I was getting tired. Ask current and past Chamber presidents, the workload as president can take up a lot of your time. This was happening while my doctor was trying new ways to improve my heart’s efficiency. Shortly before the Trevor Linden evening I did some more tests with my doctor and moved to a different medication. It worked, sort of. My efficiency now fell into the range of what he said was low normal. But the
side effect of the medication is it leaves you extremely tired and feeling like someone is sitting right on your diaphragm when you do anything physical. I had to resign. I saw the Linden event through to the end, but could go no further. I needed to fix me. Shortly after I resigned I had another meeting with my doctor. We discussed the effects of the medication. He changed it to one they were having some success with. My concern was we would lose some of the gains we had made, so we did more tests a few months later. Almost immediately I felt better then I had in years. And the tests proved even better – numbers into the normal range, and none of the side effects. After meeting with
Safety of current pipeline questioned My letter is to bring attention to the public of the potential safety risk in the daily operation by Kinder Morgan of their existing 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline. It should be noted that Enbridge is presently replacing it’s entire 45-year-old pipeline which runs from Alberta to Wisconsin. Why is Kinder Morgan allowed to continue to operate it’s antiquated 60-year-old pipeline through our community without complying to the present day, more stringent safety standards which apply to newer and future pipeline expansions? The National Energy Board regulates and Canadian Safety Association Code Z662 states that gate valves be installed where pipelines cross rivers and the pipe thickness should at least .050” or 1/2”. These new standards are not being met in our community. In the recent past, Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain line has had several leaks and to their credit they have promptly patched them without any major ecological damage. Kinder Morgan engineer, Greg Toth, advises that Kinder Morgan has installed valves on
either side of the Coquihalla Canyon, but have no intention of installing valves where their line crosses either side of the Coquihalla River up stream. At this point, the pipe is only 3/8” thick. Also, Kinder Morgan has no plans to replace or decommission the existing Trans Mountain pipeline. If a complete rupture occurred near or at the river crossing there would be a potential of three barrels per second spilling into the Coquihalla River, and with an estimated emergency response time of 1.5 hours, that scenario spells disaster. In my view, our present town council have been neglectful by
not requesting Kinder Morgan upgrade their existing pipeline to today’s more stringent safety standards. Meanwhile, council speaks of establishing a “Legacy Fund” that may result if the expansion of the Trans Mountain line is approved with no mention of an actual dollar figure. Dream on! With recent articles in the media, where Kinder Morgan suggests that “oil spills can have a positive effect,” one has to question their mentality and insensitivity towards the B.C. public. A recent headline “Fraser River would take up to five years to recover from pipeline oil spill” on it’s proposed expansion line should set off
alarm bells, especially when you consider the so-called “dilbit,” or diluted bitumen, is at times transported through our community in the existing aging pipeline that was not designed to transport this more volatile product. It should be noted that a majority of B.C. municipalities have rejected the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion proposal. Let’s hope the incoming mayor and council have the fortitude to stand up and deal with Kinder Morgan safety issues with their present Trans Mountain line. Where do our incoming officials stand on this issue? Dennis O’Keeffe
my doctor, I am confident about all the steps we have taken to ensure my health is where it needs to be. You might have seen me these past few weeks chugging along on my bicycle or seen a video of me cannonballing into our pool – it ain’t pretty, but it is me. Like I said before, I appreciate the concern shown to me over the past few years, it is heart-warming to say the least, and please know this, I am ready for the next challenge in my life, and if presented, will meet that challenge head on.

Hope is shining a light on domestic violence Purple Lights Campaign kickoff is on Oct. 1 in Memorial Park Hope is joining the international Purple Lights Campaign to raise awareness about domestic violence and highlight resources available throughout the community. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and local organizations and businesses are rallying together to show their support. A kick-off event will be held Oct. 1 at Hope Memorial Park to emphasize the need for greater understanding and awareness of the issues surrounding domestic violence, and how to help those who may be in need. The event begins at 6:30 p.m. and will include a First Nations and community blessing, readings, a peace walk, tree lighting and resources. “Everyone deserves the right to be in a healthy relationship and sometimes we don’t know what healthy relationships look
like when you are inside an unhealthy one,� said Jess McBeth, school-based domestic violence prevention worker. “It’s important we do things like this event to bring awareness of an issue that is present in our community. As community members, we need to know signs of domestic violence so we can help others who may not be able to help themselves.� The campaign, which originated in Covington, Wash., encourages public, private and non-profit entities to raise awareness of the issue by embracing the colour purple – the symbolic hue for domestic violence awareness – by shining purple lights on buildings or other structures in their community, wearing purple or sponsoring awareness events. Businesses across from Hope Memorial Park will be displaying purple light bulb decals and posters in their storefronts to raise
What can you do to help? T Join the Oct. 1 kickoff event T Wear purple on Oct. 1 T Shine a purple light (bulbs are available for a $2 donation at Hope Library, Hope RCMP detachment, Hope municipal hall, Free Rein Associates) T Know the signs of domestic violence and don’t be afraid to offer a listening ear T Become familiar with local resources and help others, who may be in danger, be aware of supports and services available in the community
awareness and generate discussion. In addition, businesses and community members are encouraged to wear purple on Oct. 1, create purple window displays or shine a purple light in their store front or home. “Domestic violence affects the entire community, not just the immediate victim,� said Jodi McBride, executive director of Read Right Society, a legal services society community partner. “Its impact has a ripple effect that seeps into
neighborhoods, the workplace, schools, parenting, friendships and more. As community members, we need to be aware and know how to listen and how to help.� From January to August 2014, 22 domestic violence murders and four attempted murders have occurred in B.C. alone. These are extreme incidents, yet domestic violence is not always overt, culminating in murder/ attempted murder. Domestic violence can be harming to you or your
children, and has many faces: T Physical: When someone stops you from leaving your home, breaks your things, threatens or hurts you with a weapon or object, shoves, slaps, chokes, punches or kicks you. T Emotional or verbal: When someone embarrasses you, yells at you, insults you, constantly criticizes and blames you, doesn’t let you contact friends or family, threatens to have you deported, or accuses you of flirting with others. T Psychological: When someone decides what you can do or know about, where you can go, what you can see, follows or watches you or monitors your phone calls, tries to confuse you or questions your memory, threatens to hurt you, your children or pet. T Sexual abuse: When someone forces you to have sex, perform acts that
makes you uncomfortable or hurts/injures you sexually without permission. T Financial abuse: When someone makes all the household money decisions and doesn’t let you have money or use bank accounts or credit cards, refuses to let you get a job or makes you lose your job, or runs up debt in your name. Prevention is the most effective tool to address the long-standing issues of domestic violence and it is important to put effort into creating healthy relationships and strong families. Resources and services are available throughout the community including: Hope/Boston Bar RCMP Victim Services (604869-7770), Hope & Area Transition Society (604869-5111), Read Right Society (604-860-0510), Ann Davis Counselling Services (604-869-3201), and the Jean Scott Transition House (604-869-5191).

This work is very weather dependent and may need to start and stop over several months until completion. A key requirement is that the contractor does not conduct burning unless the venting index is “good�. This ensures proper air movement exists to minimize smoke impacts to people in the vicinity of the burning.

‘Folk art rustic’ to be featured at local gallery The Hope & District Arts Council presents “Dagmar’s Expressions” at the Hope Arts Gallery throughout October. The backroom exhibit features Hope artist Dagmar Lucak with special guest Bill Lucak. Both have been living in the community for over 30 years and are part of the local music scene as well. Dagmar’s work portrays unique three-dimensional art that brings people closer to the elements of nature. She works in leather, wood, bone, fur, rock, metal and paint. The leather is hand-stretched and then adorned with upcycled natural finds. Dagmar uses what is on hand – taking something old, making it new and then making it look old again. She calls her work “folk art rustic” and has been making leather faces since 1999. Her work can be found online at www.dagmar.ca Bill has been carving for just over a year now. His work is done free hand and he’s mostly self-taught through experimentation. Living in Hope he has been exposed to lots of carvings

would have otherwise been burned in slash piles. “We incorporate nature into each one-of-a-kind hand-crafted item,” said Dagmar. The Hope Arts Gallery, located at 349 Fort St., hosts an opening reception with the artists on Oct. 4 from 4-7 p.m.

Sports Local athletes compete at BC Senior Games Barry Stewart Hope Standard
Overheard at this year’s BC Senior Games, at the Langley Events Centre: A man in the showers, whistling a great rendition of “The Way We Were,” a Barbra Streisand hit from 1973. “Memories light the corners of my mind. Misty water-coloured memories of the way we were….” For senior athletes who have a long history in their sport, there may be a touch of melancholy in memories of their faded feats of strength, speed, endurance or skill — but I came to realize in my first time as a competitor that the games are more about “The Way We Are” or “The Way We Can Be,” if we stay active and involved. You might not have the moves of a 20-year-old but you adjust your goals and keep moving — and if you get to the point where you can’t move very much, there are less stressful activities that focus on mental skills and socializing, such as card games and one act plays. I was there as a member of the Zone 3 men’s 60+ soccer team and I was impressed by the skills and effort levels shown. Five games in four days is a punishing schedule for any age of player — but with the help of liniment, tape, substitutions and ice packs, the players kept up the pace. We ended up a goal short in the bronze medal match, though our best effort might have been the opening match on Sept. 9, against North Van’s Columbus. This team has a long history of playing together and their roster included Canadian Soccer Hall of Famer and former Vancouver Whitecap, Sam Lenarduzzi. We tied them 2-2 and they went on to win the gold medal match. Our fourth-place finish left us embracing the Games’ slogan, “Everyone Wins.” It was a similar story for Hope’s healthy contingent of eight card players that took part in whist and cribbage. “None of us won any medals,” said Carol Pringle at the Canyon Golden Agers’ club on Monday. “It was all fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh. That’s the first time we haven’t won something!” Cribbage players included Bob

Trish and Dale Kjemhus, Jim Toy and Dodie Schiefermeier were Hope’s only medal winners at the 2014 BC Senior Games, in Langley.
Enns, Lou Granger, Jean Nazarchuk, Mavis Wannamaker, Art Young and Pringle. Wendy Middleton and Louise Marlatt paired up for whist. Other Hope residents who took part but finished out of the medals were Ben Taylor, who finished fourth in badminton, Debbie Pettit in equestrian and Roy Chou and Kats Sunada in golf. Hope medals came from golf and dragon boat. Trish and Dale Kjemhus have been involved with the Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club at Harrison Lake for almost a decade and this was Trish’s fourth trip to the Senior Games and Dale’s third. Dale was a paddler for the bronze-medal mixed team at the
Games and Trish was alternating between calling and paddling for the team — as well as calling for the Cultus Lake Dragon Flyers women’s team, which won gold. A caller sets the paddling rates for the boat, explained Trish. “At the start, you have a faster pace, then you settle into a race rate and finish with more power. “You’re not allowed to use any amplification. You just yell,” she added. “By the end of the day (four races), I have quite a deep voice.” Trish also uses a drum at the end, for emphasis. The races were held in the secondary arm of the Fraser River at Glover Road in Fort Langley and the changes in tidal flows and

buck in the 80+ category, having turned 80 on Sept. 5. This was his first year at that level — which he says is the final age division. The 12-handicapper shot 88 at Langley’s Pagoda course and 86 at Newlands to lead the group by five strokes and capture another gold medal. After Monday’s photo shoot and interview, Toy raced off to help paint the houses into the curling rink ice. He said he likes to switch to the indoor game in the winter, to keep active (and dry) and enjoy the socializing. The Langley BC Senior Games were the last ones under that banner. Next year, they will be branded as the 55+ BC Games in North Vancouver.

river currents gave crazy variations in heat times, said Dale. “We had one race where it was our worst time ever!” he said. A team might have won their heat… but when its time was matched beside a team that paddled in better currents, the comparison wasn’t equitable. This was straightened up on the second day, said the couple. Golfing in the women’s 7579 class, Dodie Schiefermeier earned a silver medal for her second low gross of 207 on 36 holes. This was her third time at the games and she now has the trifecta of medals. “My first time was a bronze, then a gold,” said Schiefermeier. Jimmy Toy was the young

It is with great sadness to announce the passing of Leo Raymond Rheal (Ray) Belair , born on January 19, 1931 in Montreal, Que. He passed away September 8, 2014. In 1948, Ray moved to Hope where he met and married Emily Murphy, she was the love of his life. They raised two children Jenny & Leo in Laidlaw. Ray was predeceased by his mother and father and his wife Emily (1980), brother Maurice (1996) and daughter Jenny (2011). Ray is survived by his son Leo (Connie) and grandchildren Wade, Chad & Calvin and their spouses. He is also survived by his great grandchildren Sloan, Nixon and Kiera, and by his loving sisters Joan and Darlene of Ontario and by his very special friend Edie and numerous nieces and nephews. The Belair family would like to thank their wonderful family and friends for the flowers, visits and support during this difficult time. A special thank you to the staff at the Fraser Hope Lodge for all you’ve done in making Ray’s last years so comfortable. Grandpa loved all of you. We will all miss Grandpa’s crazy sense of humor, his smile, his stories and the special love he had for his family. He will live in our hearts forever. A small family gathering was held at his home on September 11. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Fraser Hope Lodge in Ray’s name.
