Hope woman killed in Oregon crash Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

A 20-year-old woman from Hope was killed in a single-vehicle crash last Friday in Oregon. State police say a 2009 Pontiac four-door car driven by Brandon Goeders, 20, from Port Moody was travelling eastbound at about 5:45 a.m. on Interstate 84 near milepost 294, between North Powder and Baker City, when it travelled onto the left shoulder. Goeders said he fell asleep and over-corrected to the right, causing the car to roll on the pavement and off the freeway.

The annual Hell’s Gate Airtram Pumpkin Drop takes place on Monday, marking the attraction’s end of season.

C U S T O M E R A P P R E C I AT I O N

The seventh annual Hell’s Gate Airtram Pumpkin Drop takes place on Thanksgiving Day. Everyone that brings a carved pumpkin will get to ride the tram for free. Then throw your “work of art” out of the tram window, down 500 feet to the target below for a chance to spin a big prize wheel. “This has become an annual family tradition,” said corporate relations manager Debbie McKinney, adding that 600 pumpkin tossers took part last year. “Because the pumpkins need to be carved – it brings families together the night before to work on their masterpieces. It is a great, fun way to help us celebrate the end of the season.” Year-end clearance sales will also be taking place in the Gold Panner Gift Shop and Fudge Factory. Visitors can enjoy a warm lunch at Simon’s Café as well. “Some people stay for hours - watching other pumpkins falling from high in the sky to and hearing an incredible ‘kathump’ echoing off the canyon walls as they land on the target,” said McKinney. “Because it is our last day – it is important to come early if you want the best selection of gifts, candy, fudge, and lunch. This year’s Pumpkin Drop runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 13. For more information about the annual event or attraction, visit hellsgateairtram.com or call 604-867-9277.

Bike park construction to begin Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Bike riders of all ages will soon have a new place to learn and practice their skills. Hoots Inc. is coming to Hope this month to build a new bike park as part of the Hope Community Recreation Park project on the Coquihalla River Park property. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The skills park will be specifically designed to teach riders how fun it can be to ride in the forest so that they can eventually transition out to the forest trails safely,â&#x20AC;? said Stephanie Hooker with Pathway Partners, one of the project stakeholders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is very little beginner and intermediate terrain for kids to learn skills on so that they can safely attempt the more advanced trails.Â As a result, there is a real lack of mountain bike culture in our community, and existing trails are falling into disrepair.Â Any kid with a used bike will be able to get to the park and have a great social space, stay physically active, and connect with nature.â&#x20AC;? Jay Hoots will be designing the park with a crew of six from his company, working under the supervision of Tri-West Contracting. Hope will be Hootsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 52nd bike skills project, which includes Island 22 in Chilliwack. To save money on hotels, a house has been rented for two months for the crew but needs to be furnished. Anyone with cots, beds, furniture, or appliances that the crew can borrow is asked to contact Naomi at 604-750-0480. With the grant money available this year, the footprint of the bike skills park will be cleared of underbrush, and perimeter

and access trails will be established. Elements for beginner, intermediate and advanced skills will be built including pump tracks, a wall ride, and dirt jumps. Signage and maps will be also installed, as well as benches and picnic tables in key locations so that parents can supervise their kids.Â The bike park is considered a multi-year project, and additional elements will be added to the property as funding allows. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope to build a bike culture in our town beginning with our youth specifically. These kids will grow into adults that will build and maintain mountain bike trail networks,â&#x20AC;? said Hooker, adding that amenity migration is a big issue in the region and has a social and economic impact in rural communities.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;Enhancing these amenities in our community encourages young families to remain in our community and it attracts young professionals and families away from the city that are looking for a particular lifestyle. Resident retention and attraction drives our local economy.â&#x20AC;? Stakeholder groups are currently working on ways to engage kids and the community once the bike park is built. They are planning riding clinics next spring for youth through organizations like Sprockids, Fraser Valley Mountain Bike Association, and the Aboriginal Youth Mountain Bike Program. Stakeholders are also currently scheduling a bike trail construction workshop, taught by the North Shore Mountain Bike Association, to teach youth and adults how to maintain and build new elements in the park.Â In addition, Hooker

Perimeter fencing will separate motorsports activities from the rest of the park amenities, and create a fenced in offleash dog park during non-event days. Hazard trees and underbrush have also been removed from the bike park area, and perimeter trails have been established. In particular, the main walking trail that winds through the property from the Kawkawa Bridge to Fort Street has been re-routed away from backyards on River Parade Street, and has been lined with boulders. The trail is also now two metres wide, and stroller and wheelchair accessible. Volunteers have donated 260 hours of free labour at the site since June and many value-added initiatives have been accomplished. In addition, Hope Mountain Centre assigned their two- person student trail crew for a combined 46 hours of work on the site. Skate park improvements are next on the list, which include construction ofÂ a rain shelter, and improved elements. Project manager Jim Lasser said the design for the minor upgrades is almost complete and work should begin in the next month. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The project is progressing as planned,â&#x20AC;? said Lasser. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re on schedule and on track to being completed on deadline.

Hope’s branding committee releases new community logo Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Hope now has a community brand with three different voices. Two new logos were revealed during a branding open house last week at the Hope Golf Club. The original logo used by AdvantageHOPE to attract visitors, investment and new residents is considered the community’s marketing voice. A corporate logo has been added for use by the District of Hope on its website, stationary, vehicles and signage. In order to give people an opportunity to share in telling the brand story, a related logo was created to represent “the community voice.” Residents at the open house chose the new community logo from two design concepts. The available decals bear the words “Proud to Live in Hope, BC” or “Proudly Made in Hope, BC.” “We really wanted to find a vehicle so that local people can actually use that brand in their own way without compromising the mes-

sages and the initial use of those logos,” said branding coordinator Alison Harwood. “It’s meant to be like a seal or stamp of approval. It’s kind of a little rough around the edges because that’s kind of our town. We’ve got a little diamond in the rough quality here.” The first phase of the branding process was completed in June 2013 with the input of over 400 people. The initiative, a partnership between the District of Hope, Chamber of Commerce, and AdvantageHOPE, aimed to define the spirit and personality of the community. Hope’s brand essence was identified as Being Connected: To nature. To community. To oneself. The first phase of the branding process culminated with the release of a Brand Book, which included a logo set

and guidelines. It explains what the community stands for, its vision, values, personality, positioning, and unique selling proposition. It also outlines the context for the brand, defining the target audiences, competing communities and relative brand relationships. The branding committee has since worked on building the brand by communicating Hope’s story through collaborative relations and marking initiatives, as well as developing regional assets, encouraging local businesses and organizations to project brand attitudes and behaviors, coordinating community planning, and building long-term vision and commitment. A new image bank has also been developed this year to showcase the region.

The B.C. government has added to its pareddown legal aid budget to finance the hiring of a second staff lawyer to handle urgent family law cases, and to expand legal advice by phone for other family disputes around the province. Attorney General Suzanne Anton has announced the expansion of a pilot program that started with a staff lawyer in Vancouver dedicated to legal aid clients with family law disputes. The second family court “duty counsel” will be based at the Victoria courthouse. The program is funded with an extra $2 million a year for three years, bringing this year’s Legal Services Society budget to $74.5 million. This allows double the time for

eligible clients to receive legal advice by phone. Legal Services Society board chair Tom Christensen said the phone service will now be able to offer eligible clients up to six hours with the same lawyer, to get advice on issues such as child support and parenting arrangements so they can represent themselves in family court. “There are always going to be cases where the situation is so dire that we need to appoint a lawyer to assist somebody in court,” Christensen said. “And with family services, that’s generally where violence is threatened, or where somebody faces a serious chance of their interaction with their children being cut off, like when one parent’s going to leave the province with them, and the other par-

ent needs to stop that.” Anton said there are three more pilot projects to come. These are an expanded model for legal aid staff lawyers in criminal cases, a parents’ legal centre for child protection cases and a family mediation referral program. The financing move comes as the Trial Lawyers’ Association of B.C. resumes its intermittent strike against legal aid work to protest the lack of funding. Lawyers are refusing legal aid for the first week of each month in a protest that began in July. The association notes that 80 per cent of people in family court are not represented by a lawyer, and that the rate paid to legal aid lawyers hasn’t changed since the B.C. government cut the Legal Service Society budget by about 40 per cent be-

tween 2001 and 2005. Anton said the overall speed of the court system is improving, and the newly expanded program is designed to settle more cases out of court. “On a family matter in particular, court is not necessarily the final destination, not necessarily the best destination,” Anton said. “This is the emphasis of the new Family Law Act. We would rather parties settled the matter between themselves with the help of a mediator, with the help of our family justice mediation services, with the help of the Justice Access Centres.” The Trial Lawyers’ Association points to the extension of provincial sales tax to legal bills in the 1990s, to fund legal aid. They say only half of that tax revenue is used for its original purpose.

Hospitals screening for ebola Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fraser Health officials are confident they’ll be able to safely isolate any ebola patient that arrives in the region at Surrey Memorial Hospital and prevent any secondary spread of the disease ravaging West Africa. Health care workers in the region have already intercepted a number of suspected ebola cases but then ruled them out following secondary screening, said Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, Fraser’s executive medical director for infection prevention and control. Those patients weren’t tested because it was determined from their answers to questions that they had not been to the specific areas where the virus is circulating. “We obviously had no confirmed cases but we did have a number we had to evaluate,” Brodkin said. “Half a dozen perhaps so far. People come back to Canada from Africa every day. So it’s really inevitable

that we’re going to see people who have been to that part of the world who have a fever.” Provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall has also predicted B.C. may see a few cases of ebola arrive from Africa, similar to the first confirmed ebola case in the U.S. that was announced Tuesday in Texas. “Given the size of the outbreak in west Africa and given how easily people travel around the globe, it is certainly possible that we will see a real case at some point,” Brodkin added. “The risk to British Columbians is extremely low. Even if a true case actually arrives I have every confidence that that case will be quickly isolated and managed in a way that means there would be no secondary spread or outbreak in British Columbia.” All patients who arrive at Fraser hospital emergency departments with a fever are being asked about their travel history and they’re tak-

en to isolation areas for further secondary questioning if they indicate they’ve been in west Africa in the last 21 days – ebola’s incubation period. The virus can only be through direct contact with bodily fluids of a patient who has symptoms. Asked why Surrey Memorial was chosen as the potential regional ebola containment site, Brodkin said the new critical care tower there has state-of-the-art infection control. “We can safely isolate any patient in a room in that tower and be able to provide care to them while at the same time protecting the health care workers who are looking after them and other patients who may be on the unit or in the tower.” She said the ability to quickly diagnose cases and, in particular, to safely isolate them is what is missing in Africa, fueling the ebola outbreak there. The deadly virus has killed more than 3,200 people in West Africa – close to half of those who contract it.

Health minister under fire for firings Tom Fletcher Black Press

Opposition critics used their first question period of the fall legislative session Tuesday to demand accountability from the B.C. government on the firing of seven health ministry staff and contractors over alleged misuse of confidential health data in 2012. NDP leader John Horgan reminded the government that two years after the allegations surfaced, two health researchers have been reinstated, two others were “unfired” and one, university co-op student Roderick MacIsaac, committed suicide after having his research contract terminated with

only days left to go. Health Minister Terry Lake repeatedly apologized in the legislature and acknowledged that the handling of some aspects of the case was “heavy-handed.” Lake referred to an independent investigation announced last week by the public service to review the way employees and contractors were treated, but he also defended the need to act on the information breach. Letters were sent out to 38,000 B.C. residents in early 2013, notifying them that their confidential health information was copied to a data stick and shared without authorization. There were no names in the data, but it included personal health numbers, gen-

der, date of birth, postal codes and information from a Statistics Canada health survey on mental and physical health and use of health services. Horgan replied that “not one scrap of data left the Ministry of Health, and the minister knows that.” He and other opposition MLAs demanded Lake clear the air about an alleged police investigation into the data handling, since a year after the allegations surfaced, the RCMP had still not received a report from the government. The ministry staff and research contractors were using patient data for research related to which drugs were approved for use under B.C.’s Pharmacare program. An investigation

by B.C.’s privacy commissioner concluded that the data were shared with unauthorized people, apparently “to work around the lengthy approval process.” NDP health critic Judy Darcy said the government’s decision to send MacIsaac’s family a cheque for the final days of his employment, with no other communication, was unacceptable. “Heavy-handed would be an understatement,” Darcy said. “We have witnessed the actions of a government that did its level best to avoid responsibility for ruining eight people’s lives until the heartfelt pleadings of Linda Kayfish, Roderick MacIsaac’s brave sister, shamed this government into action.”

Opinion

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

Attracting LNG plants challenging There is a great deal of speculation about whether the much-touted liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry will get off the ground in B.C., in light of a statement by the CEO of Petronas, the Malaysian company which many observers felt was most likely to proceed with an LNG plant. The next two years will be the proof, when final investment decisions by a number of companies will be made. Much of the holdup is due to the tax structure the province is considering for LNG plants, and the decisions also take into account federal tax law. One thing is certain. Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman, the minister responsible for natural gas development, is doing everything in his power to try and get some of the proponents to commit to building LNG plants. Coleman has said, over and over, that negotiations on the plants are challenging and tricky, but he is convinced the plants can be economically viable. The investment that has been proposed is gargantuan — although it is likely that only a few plants will be built. Nonetheless, Coleman is doing what he can to work for B.C.’s future. - Black Press

Oil a slippery slope for cities B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Every year when B.C.’s municipal politicians get together to preach to the provincial cabinet, there comes a point in the maze of resolutions where things go sideways. Last year it was a misinformed, impossible demand to ban all traces of genetic engineering. Before that they thumbed their mobile phones and denounced wireless power meters. Both votes passed by narrow margins in a half-empty chamber, with many delegates focused on the serious community issues they are elected to address. This year it was a charge led by Burnaby to denounce the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion. And this time it

was defeated. Credit for this sudden attack of common sense goes largely to North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring. Here’s part of his address to the recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler: “Ladies and gentlemen, we are elected to handle things like roads and water and sewer and land use, police, fire, garbage. We’re not here to talk about social policy, child poverty or heaven forbid, pipelines. “Those kinds of things dilute our credibility as an organization. We’re becoming a social policy activist group rather than a group of municipal politicians. “Half of this resolutions book is stuff that’s outside of our purview…. If you want to do social policy, get your butt elected to the provincial legislature.” Burnaby, New Westminster, Victoria and Vancouver were undeterred. In tax-rich urban

centres one can make a living at local politics. And grandstanding works. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow rattled off a jumbled history of refineries in his region, noting that the sole surviving Chevron plant is bringing in crude by trucks and trains because the 60-yearold pipeline is over-subscribed. He didn’t explain how stopping a pipeline upgrade would keep it open, or improve oil safety. Volkow repeated the protester myth that a new pipeline would introduce diluted bitumen to the coast. Trans Mountain started shipping dilbit in the late 1980s. Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar and others from along the Interior pipeline route pointed out another flaw. If southern cities want to wander outside their mandate to make this gesture, why target only this pipeline and ignore rail lines and highways that cross the same rivers and streams?

Standard

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan boasted that after his first court challenge to the National Energy Board was tossed out, his high-priced eco-lawyer found a constitutional angle. Cha-ching! Meanwhile, professional protesters bike-lock their necks to the fence at Burnaby’s Westridge oil terminal, and a radical Simon Fraser University professor revives his Occupy Vancouver team to step up the ground war if courts falter. The comedy of all this was illustrated by Coun. Robin Cherbo from Nelson, who assured delegates he uses synthetic oil in his vehicle. Is that derived from organic sunflowers? And what significance does that gesture have compared with the gasoline and jet fuel that carried 1,200 delegates to Whistler? Cherbo assumes that Ottawa can simply direct Alberta’s oil industry to start refining all the

Water service frustrating Now that we have spent the summer with cloudy water and dying plants because a certain company apparently hasn’t maintained their infrastructure, we get a big fat bill and a lot of whining about upgrade costs. (Strangely, it arrived just after the water clarified.....) Well, duh. Small rate increases over the years would have dealt with that. Maybe 753 Waterworks likes to gouge seniors? We sure as hell didn’t use $90 worth of water. Maybe I can bill these people for the costs of dead foliage? The District of Hope indicates that this private company is provincially controlled. When was this? The current scenario tells me there was no oversight. They are operating in Hope, yet are free to do whatever? What would have happened if there had been a fire? Who would have been sued if the water pressure/flow was inadequate and some-

one’s residence burned down? This assumes no life loss. Would one go after 753 Waterworks or the District of Hope? From my perspective they are both accountable. Our appliances and shower head had barely enough pressure to operate and the pipe hammer due to air was really obvious. Had there been any damage, I would have seen a lawyer. I haven’t seen anyone do a hydrant test this year. Either I missed it or there was a bit of a no-no occurring since I believe a yearly test is mandatory. What does it take to have a good water supply? Restrictions as imposed by the District of Hope I can live with. A total watering ban due to someone else apparently sitting on one’s laurels and just collecting money? No! Are you listening Hope? What about you, 753 Waterworks? Do you even give a damn? J. Smith

Premier Christy Clark’s government launched its fall legislative session Monday with a speech from the throne offering progress on resource trade, partnership with aboriginal people and labour peace with public school teachers. The speech described B.C. following the same path to Asia for liquefied natural gas as it did in expanding lumber trade when the U.S. housing market declined. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” said the speech, read by Lt. Governor Judith Guichon. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.” The gas industry employs 1,700 people in the Fort Nelson area alone, and can be maintained only by reaching Asian markets. The speech notes that Chinese LNG consumption rose by a fifth in the first half of 2014. “This is a chance – not a windfall,” the speech notes, after one of the leading investment groups warned of shifting conditions that could delay its participation. Clark told reporters after the speech that

talks continue with Petronas, leader of one of the largest of 15 current LNG proposals, with a pipeline and gas export facilities planned for the B.C. north coast. “We are good at negotiating in this government,” Clark said. “We’ve got a good record. We’re going to keep negotiating hard.” The government plans to table framework legislation this month to define the environmental standards and tax structure for the industry, which

has more than a dozen international players considering LNG development. NDP leader John Horgan said it’s been a year since the government first promised a tax structure for LNG, and now with a deadline looming at of the end of October, Clark is trying to back away from 2013 election promises to retire B.C.’s debt and slash taxes based on LNG revenue. “I think we gave away our bargaining power when it comes to liquefied natural gas,” Hor-

gan said. “Everyone in the sector knows that the premier is way out on a branch and made commitments that she cannot keep.” The speech described the recent sixyear labour agreement with B.C. teachers after a strike that stretched from spring to the early weeks of the fall school term. “British Columbia can look forward to five years of labour peace,” the speech said. “This is unprecedented. We cannot let this opportunity pass.”

with wood stoves and fireplaces to make sure they’re burning clean, seasoned firewood and that their chimneys are cleaned by a certified professional. “You should have a human set of eyes cleaning a chimney and looking for any cracks and damage that could allow smoke and therefore creosote, the byproduct of cooling smoke, to end up in your attic and cause a fire hazard,” said DeSorcy. “Chimney fires cause all kinds of problems, be it extending into the chimney or catching a roof on fire.” Hope Fire Department has responded to 147 incidents so far this year, which is down 12 per cent from the same time frame last year. DeSorcy credits public awareness to this decline. There are currently about 25 volunteer firefighters in Hope, however the department is always looking for new members to maintain service levels.

Fire Prevention Week is raising awareness about the importance of smoke alarms this year. The weeklong campaign, which kicked off Monday and runs until Oct. 12, encourages people to test their smoke alarms every month to make sure they are working properly. “It is the first line of defence,” said Hope Fire Chief Tom DeSorcy. “That’s your earliest indication that something is wrong and that there’s a need to investigate and get out of your house.” Smoke alarms have a 10-year lifespan and should be cleaned regularly as they’re very sensitive to dust and insects. It’s also recommended that a smoke alarm be installed on every level and outside of every sleeping area. Fire Prevention Week provides an opportunity to highlight the dangers of fire and how to prevent it. With people spending more time indoors this time of year, DeSorcy said kitchen and chimney fires are more common. Kitchen fires typically originate from the stove or oven. Grease fires, in particular, are one of the most dangerous types of fires, so DeSorcy warns residents to be extremely cautious when cooking with oil. If a fire does occur, smother it

In celebration of Carrier Appreciation Week, Riley Forman returned to North Bend to deliver a newspaper to his favourite subscribers. He became a carrier for The Hope Standard when he was 11 years old, taking over a route that was passed down from cousin to cousin. Delivering newspapers to Cliff and Irene Fisher was a weekly highlight, along with receiving free day-old donuts from the cafe. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Irene was always home and would give us candy every week when we would drop off her newspaper,â&#x20AC;? said Forman, who was a carrier for three years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She always got her newspaper exactly on time because she always had a couple candies waiting there for us.â&#x20AC;? Forman shared the route with his cousin, and every Thursday the pair would get off school and head straight to the wood box where The Hope Standard was left. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d put on their satchels and deliver about 35 newspapers in two hours. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We loved it,â&#x20AC;? said Forman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never really realized how many hills we had to walk across, how many crazy people we had to deal with, and how many dogs that we had to navigate. It was a lot of hard work.â&#x20AC;? Forman always looked forward

to delivering the fourth last paper on his route â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house. He remembers one day in particular when Cliff passed them on his way back to work and asked for his paper. Forman and his cousin handed over the newspaper hesitantly, wondering how they were going to get their candy now. They decided to go to the house empty-handed anyways and tell Irene what happened. She gladly handed over their weekly treat. When the boys were ready to hand down the route, standard protocol involved training the next cousin in line. Forman remembers giving the last three houses to the

We made him go back to give them their newspaper. We had told Steven that when you get the route, you get the candy.â&#x20AC;? Delivering newspapers helped influence Formanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s career path. He combined his love for media and tourism when he launched his own company, Connect Media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about conversation and engaging people to form their own opinions,â&#x20AC;? said Forman, who used to write letters to the editor and run home on Thursdays to see if they were printed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From a young age, The Hope Standard was a huge part of that.â&#x20AC;? Formanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return to North Bend this week brought back many nostalgic memories. The Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s invited him in for stories and Cliff talked about his days as carrier in North Bend, when newspapers would arrive by train. Forman once again left the house with his fare share of candy and treats.

Hope participant finishes second at Muck MS Barry Stewart Hope Standard

“No muck about it! We’ll stamp out MS!” That was the motto stamped on the T-shirts of a team of 10 funloving participants from Hope in last Saturday’s Muck MS 5km obstacle run at the Dicklands Farms in southwest Chilliwack. Participants each paid a $70 entry fee for the privilege of slipping and sliding through mud holes, giant slip-and-slides and multiple pits of muddy water — as well as covering five kilometres through fields and trails — with proceeds going toward MS research and support. In all, 650 people took part in the first Muck MS event in western Canada, with Dawson Hollmann finishing second overall, in 34:06. “He might have come second… but he didn’t get dirty!” said fellow team member Brenda Deschenes on Tuesday. She got plenty dirty, as did her son Blake — and there are many photos to prove it. Brenda and team organizer Elaine Lawton finished ahead of the middle of the pack in about one hour, 10 minutes. While the team was there for the fun challenge — they were also there to support Lawton, who was diagnosed with MS in June of 2013. As a way to improve her fitness, Lawton joined Hope’s Team Fit walking and running group in January, taking part in the learn-to-walk and urban poling sessions. Lawton is in the early stages of the disease, which affects the brain and spinal cord but it was a mid-summer stress fracture in her ankle that kept her from training more for the event. “We had three weeks to limp our way through training for the run,” said tail-twister Miranda Cowan, whose son Levi was keen to join in the muddy fun. “None of us had done a mud race before — and kids from 12 to 17 had to have an adult go with them,” said Cowan, whose husband wasn’t so keen. “Jacob said ‘Absolutely not!’” Fraser and Bendix Hollmann were the other Hope youths taking part. With parents Kim and Peter Hollmann also in the race, the only missing family member was Kai, who was too young.

Brenda Deschenes (left) and Elaine Lawton clamber out of a water hole at last Saturday’s 5km Muck MS obstacle race, in Chilliwack. The event attracted 650 runners, with Hope’s Dawson Hollmann finishing second overall, in 34:06.

“Kai really wanted to be in it,” said Deschenes. “None of us really wanted to get cold, or wet, or dirty — but we just dove in and had fun,” said Cowan. “I’m sure next year, more people will want to join in.” There were no shower facilities but there was a man with a tanker truck, ready to hose off the worst of the dirt.

“The guy told me he didn’t have enough water to get me clean!” laughed Deschenes. “He said I should go sit in the Vedder River.” Deschenes and Lawton did the run together and they had a scary moment on a slip-and-slide that ended in big bales of hay. “The guy had just greased it with some soap and we went flying — with our arms locked at the
