Society finds new homes for shelter dogs Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

A local volunteer-run society is giving animals a second chance. Our Last Hope Animal Rescue finds new homes for adoptable dogs in high-kill shelters in southern California, as well as local dogs who are in immediate danger. On average, the society has six rescues available at any given time. “We are their last hope. Without us, they would be dead,” said president/founder Jeneane Ruscheinsky. “The dogs we bring in are not sitting in our shelters here.” Ruscheinsky opened the adop-

tion centre on Commission Street in July 2014, after running Our Last Hope Animal Rescue for four years. She got involved with animal rescue after the 2010 slaughter of sled dogs in Whistler, where she initiated a petition to have Canadian animal cruelty legislation changed. “All I’ve wanted to do is save lives. The SPCA is low-kill and they’re not overcrowded,” said Ruscheinsky. “Seventeen per cent of dogs across B.C. and Canada are euthanized yearly but those are due to behaviour, sickness, and age.” When Ruscheinsky started seeing Facebook posts from animal ac-

tivists about the kill shelters in the United States, she started sending money to help dogs in Florida. Due to the distance, it was not feasible to find them new homes in Canada. However, when Ruscheinsky found out about the crisis in California, she jumped on the opportunity. “California having the I-5 on the West Coast was a heck of a lot easier,” she said. “So, rather then send money to these dogs, I was going to save three dogs and re-home them. Here I am four years later saving three dogs, three dogs, three dogs. I just can’t sit by and watch them die when people want them.”

Ruscheinsky works directly with shelters in southern California. She said about three quarters of the animals taken in are euthanized after an average stay of five days. Animal rescue organizations throughout North America are helping reduce euthanasia rates, but shelters are still overflowing with dogs. These animals are either surrendered by owners or picked up by animal control. Ruscheinsky pointed out that valid ID is required to reclaim a lost animal, which presents a predicament for illegal immigrants. Continued on 2

Society rescues dogs slated for euthanasia From 1

Rescued dogs are checked by a veterinarian before they are imported to Canada and have a signed rabies certificate, up-to-date vaccinations, microchip, and are spayed or neutered. Our Last Hope Animal Rescue doesn’t receive any government or grant funding. Financial support comes solely from donations and adoption fees. The Society has hosted a few fundraisers, one of which was Pup Night at the Gold Rush Pub in August. Many volunteers contribute funds as well along with their time at the adoption centre. Our Last Hope Animal Rescue has a commercial business number to legally import dogs across the border. All animals are subject to inspection and GST. Dogs are then placed

in adopting an animal must submit an application form with references. They will then be contacted for a phone interview to gather more information. Ruscheinsky said the screening process helps ensure there’s a good match and safe environment for the dog. Adopters must also sign a contract stating the animal will be returned to the Society if they can no longer care for them. “The reason we are here is to make a difference in the lives of both people and dogs,” said Ruscheinsky. “Dogs don’t have borders. They don’t need to die. There is a place for every dog.” Anyone interested in volunteering as a foster or for more information about the Society, visit www.ourlasthope.org or call 604-749-7150.

Enterovirus D68 case tally increases Most patients hospitalized with illness are children Jeff Nagel Black Press

The total number of lab-confirmed cases of enterovirus-D68 has jumped again to 150. The B.C. Centre For Disease Control released new statistics as of Nov. 5 on the virus that has been causing severe respiratory illness, particularly in children and teenagers. Around 30 new cases are being detected each week, public health officials say. There was one death in October of a 25-year-old Lower Mainland man with enterovirus D68 who also suffered from asthma. His was the first death in Canada linked to the virus. BCCDC officials are still unsure to what extent the enterovirus infection caused or contributed to that death or to three other cases of neurological illness in other B.C. patients with who have contracted the virus since August. Sixty-two per cent of victims so far are children under 10 years old and 57 per

cent are male. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, has said the number of lab-confirmed cases reflect the most ill patients who have been hospitalized, while many more people likely have the virus but have experienced only minor symptoms. Enterovirus D68 can seem like a cold, but the virus may cause wheezing and breathing difficulties in severe cases, especially children with asthma, and has been linked to temporary paralysis in rare cases. The virus isn’t new – variants circulate each year and there have been outbreaks before. There’s no vaccine for it so officials stress hand washing and cleaning surfaces to prevent its spread.

Flu striking early Regular flu season is striking earlier than usual, the BCCDC says, noting

there have been seven influenza outbreaks so far at B.C. long-term care facilities. Fraser Health says flu vaccination shots are now available at doctors’ offices, pharmacies, walk-in clinics and public health flu clinics. (Find locations at http://www.fraserhealth.ca/flushot) Flu shots are free in B.C. for all children from six months to five years of age, seniors age 65 and up, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those with chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems. People planning to visit loved ones in a health care facility or who will take family members to outpatient appointments are also eligible for a free flu shot. Children have the option of getting the Flumist nasal spray instead of the shot. An estimated 3,500 Canadians die each year from flu complications – mainly seniors and others with underlying conditions. There are more flu-related fatalities than from all other vaccinepreventable diseases combined.

Minister promises more child protection workers

Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C.’s struggling child protection service will be strengthened by the addition of 200 more social worker and support staff positions over the next two years, Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux says. The announcement came a day after the union representing staff issued a report saying they continue to deal with excessive workload and staff shortages due to high staff turnover, unfilled positions and budget cuts. Cadieux said the additional staff and centralizing of child protection intake screening is a response to the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union report, and previous critical reports by Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen Turpel-

Lafond. The BCGEU estimates that 80 per cent of social workers have more than the recommended 20 cases, with nearly half carrying more than 30 and some reporting caseloads of 70 or more. Cadieux said 70 auxiliary employees are being made permanent immediately, mostly in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and the target is to bring the total to 200 new positions by the end of 2016. “We’ve heard the concerns of our staff about their workload, about their inability to do all of the things that they feel are necessary,” Cadieux said. NDP children and family critic Doug Donaldson said help is still far away for rural and northern communities where recruiting and retaining staff is most dif-

ficult. He said the Smithers ministry office has seen 100 per cent turnover of child protection staff in the last three years. “It’s really good that the government has finally woken up, six years after the child representative said that staffing issues and turnover issues need to be addressed,” Donaldson said. A mobile response team is being expanded to help offices with long-standing vacancies cope while new staff is recruited and trained. Cadieux said the ministry budget has increased by about $47 million since 2008, with another increase set for next year. Adjusting office hours and doing more administrative work online or by phone allows the ministry to focus its resources on face-to-face services, she said.

The October murder of two Canadian Forces members and a running gun battle in the House of Commons has prompted an increase in guns, body armour and weapon detection procedures at the B.C. legislature. Legislature security guards have always had access to weapons, but the Oct. 22 assault by a lone gunman in Ottawa will mean a more obvious security presence in Victoria.

Opinion

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

A cabinet tax revolt

A cabinet revolt underway in Manitoba has seen five senior members of Premier Greg Selinger’s cabinet, including the finance and justice ministers, resign. The revolt is centred around the premier’s decision to impose a one per cent boost in the provincial sales tax, after specifically promising not to do so in the last provincial election. While the five cabinet ministers all went along with the plan at first, they now say the premier is not listening to their advice, as the NDP government remains far behind the opposition Progressive Conservatives in the polls. In addition to breaking its promise not to raise the PST, the Manitoba government violated the Balanced Budget, Fiscal Management and Taxpayer Accountability Act, by refusing to hold a referendum on the increase. This has stung residents to a fury. Governments simply do not learn lessons that should be obvious from the mistakes of others. Selinger should have looked to what happened in B.C. when Premier Gordon Campbell imposed the HST on British Columbians, less than two months after an election when the government said bringing in the HST was “not on the radar.” He and his government did not listen to opposition from citizens and some business groups (others supported the HST) for months. It took the successful passage of an initiative, which despite a very cumbersome law was certified and put to a vote, to finish off the HST. Even before the people voted against the HST, Campbell’s goose was cooked. He had the good sense to resign and let others pick up the wreckage, but the damage done to his party and his reputation as a shrewd leader was enormous. Manitoba does not have a similar public process such as initiative or recall, which allow the public to react to such cavalier attitudes and actions. It appears that the ministers who have resigned (none have left the party yet) simply want to try and get Selinger to quit, and he is refusing to do so. It’s a standoff, but it is likely the premier will have to go eventually. A similar thing happened in Alberta when details of Premier Alison Redford’s penchant for private jet travel and luxurious hotel suites became public knowledge. Members of her cabinet and caucus revolted, with some leaving the party. She was in the midst of a revolt, and it didn’t take her long to see the writing on the wall and resign. Governments at all levels — municipal, provincial and federal— need to learn the obvious. It is not a wise move to lie to the public during an election campaign. In this day of cellphone video and social media, anything that you say will be dredged out as a reminder, should you stray from promises given. This should serve as an important lesson to both voters and politicians seeking seats on council and the board of education. Politicians — tell the truth, and if you have a hidden agenda, don’t promise to do the opposite. Stand up for what you believe in — don’t waffle or obfuscate. As for voters, they need to carefully scrutinize what politicians are saying, and their past deeds, if they are seeking re-election. If they take a 180-degree turn after the election, hold them to account. Given that we are now electing these people for four-year terms, the more intense pressure put on them before the election, and the more watchfulness afterwards, the better. - Black Press

Global warming stalled politically too B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher On most issues this column discusses, the feedback I receive is generally negative. One exception has been humancaused climate change, where my mail runs three to one in favour of a skeptical approach. Most express relief at having someone question the exaggerated or false claims advanced by environmentalists who strive to paint Alberta and B.C. as home to uniquely evil climate crimes. As mentioned last week, this is an urgent issue in B.C. as the government pushes to develop liquefied natural gas exports. The B.C. Liberal approach to limit only the “intensity” of green-

house gas emissions from LNG production, and make no commitment on the majority of emissions from upstream gas production, looks like the effective end of Gordon Campbell’s crusade to lead North America in “climate action.” The government has also abandoned Campbell’s collapsed effort to set up a cap-and-trade system with various U.S. states to regulate emissions. Which brings me to a key reason for public skepticism. Going back to Jean Chrétien’s lip service to the Kyoto Accord, the world-wide effort to rein in fossil fuel emissions has been a smog of hypocrisy, hollow promises and failed experiments. The next grand climate summit is scheduled for Paris next summer, although the vast international green bureaucracy will first have to jet to Peru for a pre-summit summit. The European Union has just

agreed to a Campbell-like new target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40 per cent by 2030. But that’s dependent on the Paris summit reaching a legally binding international deal, something the United States remains unwilling to do. Meanwhile, Germany is building new coal-fired power plants. In Ontario, a grandiose scheme to replace coal-fired power with wind, solar and other renewables has produced steeply rising electricity rates and a political scandal over a cancelled plan to build gasfired capacity. The public continues to be bombarded with ginned-up stories of environmental destruction. You may have seen shocking TV reports in October of a “haul-out” of thousands of walruses on beaches around the Chukchi Sea in Alaska and Russia, with animals trampling each other. The World Wildlife Fund and

Standard

U.S. biologists rushed to media to frame this as a crisis caused by a lack of sea ice. This claim has been demolished by Susan Crockford, an evolutionary biologist who teaches at the University of Victoria. If you Google “Walrus mass haulout hype refuted” you will find Crockford’s brief video showing a long, pre-industrial history of these events. She concludes that they are a sign of overpopulation in the now-protected walrus herds. Crockford’s website, polarbearscience.com, debunks similar claims made about supposedly disappearing polar bears that have been a mainstay over the years to drive the global warming catastrophe narrative. In terms of actual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, there are signs of progress. The United States has made considerable strides, thanks to abundant shale

gas that has allowed it to switch from some of its 600-odd coalfired power plants. Which brings us back to B.C.’s push for natural gas exports. The NDP claims to support this, but has spent hours in the legislature warning of a giveaway of the resource, imagined fracking disasters and LNG tanker explosions and everything else they can dream up to throw at it. This is the same party that campaigned against the carbon tax in 2009 and hasn’t had a coherent energy policy since. But this isn’t some partisan game. It’s about whether B.C. maintains its gas industry. And so far natural gas is the only thing that has substantially cut carbon emissions.

Letters Auxiliary silent auction raises $15,000

Hope Standard Thursday, November 13, 2014 A9

On Nov. 1 at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, the Auxiliary to Fraser Canyon Hospital and Fraser Hope Lodge had a successful 29th Silent Auction. Sharyn Harvey, our president, introduced Sylta Hellner, RN and manager of Fraser Hope Lodge, who graciously opened our Silent Auction. We express our gratitude to all the businesses and donors and people of Hope and area for their generous support. We raised approximately $15,000. The money will go towards purchasing equipment for our hospital and lodge and for patients’ comfort and care. We also appreciate the support of our media sponsors. Over 300 items were up for bids, and over 200 door tickets were sold. This year’s raffle winners are: Evan Ireland ($1,500), Chad Lambert ($300) and Georgina Rice ($200). Kudos again for our successful 29th Silent Auction, especially to our Auxiliary members for their ongoing tireless support and everyone who participated. We could not have done it without you all. Thank you. Mary Birchmore

As printed in The Hope Standard, he said “council was given an opportunity to revisit it because I brought it back. I did not do that to disrespect council. I did that because we had dealt with a First Nations band who refused

to deal with us for over a year-and-a-half on another issue.” He went on to say “They show, they give us some cute little paddles and say it’s time to develop relations.” I am shocked by the cute little paddles

childish comment from a former mayor hoping to become the next mayor of Hope. He said he did not want to disrespect council, yet clearly speaks down to our people with such an insensitive and degrading comment.

Paddles represent we are a people of the river which should be shown respect. It sounds to me like he holds a grudge because our people did not deal with him on another issue concerning the town. True leaders need to lead with a

good heart, mind, body and spirit doing what is best for all people. Clearly for me that was not the case about what was said. Arnold John/ Swayel Path

Better communication needed between departments Christmas Folks, I find it odd the system we are living under. I am talking about the government’s way of operating.

The problem as I see it, is that the various government departments do not know what the

My letter in you Oct. 16 edition regarding the pipeline safety was unfortunately directed to Lisa Clement rather than Greg Toth. Just in case Mr. Toth is not aware of my assertion that blocking valves alone do not prevent an oil spill, I’ll repeat it for his benefit. If there is a line rupture, the valves have to be gradually closed to prevent a pressure spike. So a large amount of oil will be spilled unless the oil can be diverted to a surge tank. I hope Mr. Toth can assure us that surge tanks are a park of every valve

Remembering the fallen Here’s a poem I wrote for Remembrance Day: Remembrance Day to me is something I don’t want my children to see, The war, the worry, the death that is to be, The loss of a loved one who no more you will see.

In my case a brother I hardly knew, At six years old he was a hero to me and someone to look up to, At that age his loss made me angry and sore, But I was too young to understand that he just did his part in

the Second World War. As for my kids, all I wish is someday they’ll understand what war is about and on Nov. 11, Think of a man they never did see, That’s my big brother and their Uncle Rollie. John Black

Tips should not be expected I went into one of your local spirits stores on Saturday. When I went to pay for my good, there was a jar on the counter for tips. I thought that was odd but if someone gets 20 cents change and wants to drop it in the jar, fine. That is their choice, BUT, when I went to pay for my purchase using my debit card, the terminal asked me about leav-

ing a tip. Tips are for people who provide a service. They work hard for their tips. I was at a retail store. I do not tip at the grocery store, I do not tip at the gas station. Why would I be asked or even expected, to tip at any retail store? They sell alcohol...so what. It is not a bar or lounge. I did not sit inside and drink

my purchase, it was not served to me nor did the clerk go to get my purchase. They merely sat at the cash register and waited for me to pay. Where is there a tip warranted? I found this extremely rude and consider it a cash grab for money with no service. I will never step foot in that store again. Theresa Carter

who carry out these acts have no fear because of the soft punishments handed out by the courts? When capital punishment was on the books for murder, would-be murderers would have thought hard and long before

carrying out their crimes. Instead of putting murderers in jail for a few years, to later be released and re-offend, serious consideration should be given to the reintroduction of capital punishment. Jay Nauss

DISTRICT OF HOPE

What is your background or political experience?

What are the most pressing issues facing Hope?

If elected, what would be your main priority as councillor?

Why should people vote for you?

I have worked in the political field for the past five years starting with door knocking and handing out brochures. This past election I helped run our office.

I feel the lack of living wage businesses is our biggest priority. Without developing a business park and bringing in jobs we will not attract families or keep our youth here.

My highest priority would be seeking companies that may be interested in moving to Hope, as I feel growing our town is the most important issue.

People should vote for me as I am hard working and dedicated to helping everyone. Hope is my town and I would love to make it a more viable place to live.

I have 17 years experience in the non-profit sector as executive director for Hope and Area Transition Society. I have formed relationships within various ministries as a result of my position. I hold a MBA with a speciality in leadership. I have sat on various provincial and regional committees and I know the local issues. I have three years experience in municipal politics.

Pressing issues facing Hope is economic development, diversifying the tax base, increased federal and provincial downloading of costs and how to manage this. Gaining public input on topics that will impact on the rate payer and ensuring that various methods of communication are initiated.

My main priority as councillor would be to continue the current momentum that has been started by current council, to keep the vision of Hope being the best place to work, live and play.

I am level-headed and make decisions based on the facts that are presented to me. The learning curve over the past three years has been huge, it is only now that I am feeling like I can truly see some of the projects come to fruition. I truly love this community and want what is best for the taxpayers.

I have no political experience. I have run a successful business in Hope and Chilliwack for the past 34 years. My business experience has taught me the skills I need in overseeing the operations of a municipality including planning, managing, and operating budgets, working with staff, and setting priorities for present and future activities.

The most pressing issues facing Hope are a shrinking tax base with increasing taxes, little economic activity, a need to be more business friendly, and making Hope attractive as an ideal place to live and raise a family.

My main priority as councillor is to change the direction of council from being led to taking a strong leadership role in all aspects of governing.

People should vote for me because of my vision for Hope, which is economic development, aiding businesses coming to town, getting budgets under control by reviewing all expenditures, working together in an open manner, and promoting Hope as a great place to live.

Democracy: A system of government by the whole population or the eligible members of the state, typically though elected representatives (Websters Dictionary).

What is your background or political experience?

What are the most pressing issues facing Hope?

If elected, what would be your main priority as councillor?

Why should people vote for you?

I have 14 years in the oil and gas industry before moving to Hope five years ago. I have worked construction the last two years and I am currently exploring the entrepreneurial arena. I am a life coach and photographer working here in Hope and around the Fraser Valley.

There are a number of big issues facing Hope today. We are poised on the cusp of huge change and that is a scary but exciting place to be. What will it look like and how will it affect our lives? Also facing Hope in midst of this huge change is an aging infrastructure that needs to be dealt with.

If elected to Hope my main priority on council would be to re-establish the downtown core as a vibrant, energetic and beautiful hub of our town. To deal with the problems plaguing our town head on with passion, clarity and transparency. To use my experience and skills in the most positive way for Hope.

I have an undeniable passion for this town. I truly want to give back to this amazing place for forever altering my life. I believe I have a unique skill set, I am a positive presence, an honest person and will work hard for you and this town. That is why people of Hope should vote for me.

I offer several years of experience serving on council, as well as serving as a volunteer in our community for almost 20 years on various boards, such as Park Street Manor, Hope Brigade Days, Chamber of Commerce, as well as being a liaison for many community boards. Some examples: Hope Community Services, Hope Ratepayers, and Fraser Valley Regional Library, just to name a few.

We need sustainable jobs, light industry (like Nestle Waters for example) with good track records to expand and consider Hope as a solution. We have a great corridor for moving goods and highways surrounding us make us a great choice for warehouse operations. We could also use more services for our seniors. We must continue to support transportation for folks.

I would help the new council to transition and continue to be an advocate for citizens of Hope. I would bring some new policies to the table, encourage a business friendly District Hall, help staff with tools to welcome the public, and work for a common goal with council. My main priority would be to bring positive changes to benefit our community.

I will do my best to be honest, transparent and forward thinking. I love Hope and I have experience to offer, which helps when making difficult decisions. I do not “rubber stamp” decisions. I am committed to do my part for you. I am not afraid to speak on your behalf, I will continue to be a strong voice for transparency.

I have been on council for the past two terms. I am married with two great kids. I manage Lordco Parts and have lived in Hope for 12 years. Board chair Community Futures Sun Country. Involved in: Hope Lions Club, Fire Department, Hope Motorsports Group, Scouting, Brigade Days. My entire family is very involved in the community.

Infrastructure upgrades are the most pressing. This includes roads, water and sewer, buildings and parks. Continuation of a long term upgrade and replacement plan is needed in order to protect the community’s assets.

I will work hard to advance the community vision. We will be updating the OCP in 2015, involving the community, and that will be one of the guiding documents. I will push for realistic budgets containing expenditures that are needed and wanted.

I have the experience from the last two terms that will provide consistency, information and understanding to a mainly new council. I am a good listener and I take action. I am involved. I put my heart and soul into Hope council.

My family and I moved to Hope four years ago, bought our first house and want to raise our young family here. I am operations manager for a growing multi-million dollar trailer manufacturing plant. I gained valuable insight and experience by attending the council meetings this last year and am a member of the Hope Ratepayers Association.

Firstly, spending taxpayer money in a fiscally responsible manner should keep the property tax rate comparable to the cost of living index. We need to address our aging infrastructure and promote economic growth to improve our tax base. Good paying jobs, a low property tax and the beauty of our area will encourage people to move to Hope.

Review all expenditures, set priorities based on smart choices for daily operational requirements and capital projects, paying down the debt and securing a sensible short and long term fiscal vision is the key. Achieving resort municipal status and promoting economic development by supporting AdvantageHOPE will greatly enhance our chances of attracting people to live in our wonderful community.

As a councillor I will stand up and ask thoughtful, insightful questions so I am best able to make well-informed decisions in the best interest of you, the taxpayer moving our community forward. Having attended council meetings for the last year gives me a leg up of valuable experience if elected to council. Thank you for your support.

HEATHER STEWIN Council candidate

What is your background or political experience?

What are the most pressing issues facing Hope?

If elected, what would be your main priority as councillor?

Why should people vote for you?

I have no current political background but hope to change that. I am actively involved in different things around the community like Hope Fire Department, Hope Motorsports Group, and Hope Adult Hockey League. I run a heavy duty mechanic shop with four employees. I am 25 years of age with lots of follow through.

Liveable jobs to sustain a comfortable lifestyle and jobs that are year-round, not just summer jobs. I represent a generation that is slowly declining in this community and it’s a concern that not enough young families are wanting to stay or move here. Infrastructure in some areas is on the decline and needs to be attended to more.

My main priority if voted in is to try to get the most bang for the taxpayers buck on anything we do. A lot of people see this community waste money where they don’t see fit but if it is grant money or taxpayers money we as council and the district need to better communicate with the taxpayers of Hope.

Vote for me because I am a young and determined individual that stands my ground on what I believe. I am good to work with. And I have an absolute love and focus in this community that I would like to get everyone together to have the same love and passion I do and feel for this beautiful place we call home.

I’ve grown in Hope for the last 17 years. I’m 22 years old and I’m married. I come from a Christian home that values trust and accountability. I’m young, I represent a different generation of thinking. I’ve grown up around contractors, carpenters, mechanics, and tow truck drivers, the back bone of Hope.

Each voting member is entitled to a say in every decision the council and the mayor make. I want to offer to the town of Hope the confidence to stand up to the giants in our community and to say “NO” or to say “YES.”

I’m married and it will be my duty as a father to create a healthy, safe and positive environment. I would like to see our rec centre packed Sunday to Saturday, offering all kinds of affordable programs to our community. My dream is to see young teenagers hanging out with adults, helping our older generation.

I want to put the unity back into community, I want to better our town and be held accountable to my actions. I want more businesses so that residents pay lower taxes and more jobs are around. I want to one day help develop a transit system that links us with the big cities.

I owned and operated Panago Pizza in Hope for 17 years. Received several awards for my service to this community locally, provincially and nationally. I was a member of the Chamber of Commerce in Hope and held the position of vice president.

As with most successful business endeavours the most pressing issues are QSC – Quality Service and Cleanliness. If we want to sell this town to people who live here, and visit here we need to focus on the quality of our town, provide a level of excellence in service and clean it up.

My main priority as councillor for the community would be to build the relationships between the people of Hope and it’s governing body. Through communication and a strong presence in person and in social media I hope to be a bridge over troubled waters.

I am asking for your support on Nov. 15 to be elected as a councillor for the District of Hope. A vote for me on November 15 will be a vote for transformation and communication. I do not have a personal agenda or an ax to grind. I simply believe that I have something to offer to bring hope back into Hope.

Business management and marketing with no political experience.

We need to bring new business to Hope, but not at the expense of existing business. We need to look at taxes and spending, remembering that we are all on a budget. It’s great having new ideas and projects but we need to take care of what we have (roads need work). People need to know and understand what’s going on in our community.

We need to identify and deal with the issues that are the most important and have the most impact on all residents of Hope.

I am a hard working family man with good values, I listen, I believe in what’s best for all, I finish what I start, and I love this town.

I’m involved in real estate with my father and two brothers where we conduct frequent meetings. I also have a background in logic and reasoning, whilst using the scientific method. I studied these subjects in depth, and they are important in how we communicate with each other. I come from a large family, and I’m the kitchen supervisor at Triple O’s Restaurant.

The most pressing issues are losing our businesses, and young people moving away.

I would push for bright signs advertising Hope and who we are. I would push for industries in manufacturing/warehousing to expand the borders of our town.

I am a young man with a fresh perspective. I have pragmatic ideas with practical solutions. I represent the young people who are told they will never buy real estate. We will find a way, and we will be the architects of a new way.

One of the major fundraisers that keeps volunteer safety personnel operating on local mountains occurs Nov. 15-16 in Abbotsford.

CSP volunteers on the slopes in locales such as Hemlock, Manning and Seymour, where they are often the first responders to anyone who has a mishap while skiing inbounds. Any off-the-trail emergencies are handled by search and rescue teams. CSP funds its own first aid and avalanche training, and members pay to be a part of the organization. All proceeds from the swap support CSP. Public consignment drop-off happens Nov. 14 from 7-9 p.m., and the show is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 15, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

HOPE, BC

The annual Canadian Ski Patrol’s (CSP) Winter Extreme Ski Show and Swap sees about 10,000 pieces of ski and snowboard equipment valued at approximately $1 million on consignment at the Abbotsford Ag-Rec building, selling for significant savings over new. “You can completely outfit yourself or your family members for under $100,” said Denis Dion, swap manager. “Everything from boots to boards will be on hand, and each piece is safety inspected. Any helmets for sale are brand new. We have extreme selection and extreme pricing.” Nearly 95 per cent of the equipment is still new – just last year’s models. “We don’t know exactly how much we’ll be getting until the vendors show up,” he added. The swap has been running since the late 1970s, said Dion, who took on the event chair position in 1994. From its humble beginnings in a church basement, the swap grew and needed more space. They went from the basement to an auditorium, then Tradex and now the AgRec building. Between the Abbotsford event, and a similar one in Vancouver, these fundraisers generate enough money – about $100,000 – to keep

Author Harvey Chute returns to the Fraser Canyon this Saturday for a special reading from his latest novel. Set in Fort Yale in 1863, “Stone & Silt” is a historic fiction set in the gold rush era. The main character is 16-year-old Nikaia Wales, who discovers a hidden cache of gold. When police find a corpse nearby, her father becomes a suspect and she desperately searches for clues to save her father. In her quest to find the killer, she learns about the power of family, friendship and young love. The reading and discussion, which takes place at 2 p.m. inside St. John the Divine Church at Yale Historic Site, will be followed by refreshments and a book signing at the Creighton House Museum. Copies of “Stone & Silt” will be available for $12.50, with all proceeds going to the Yale and District Historical Society. Chute grew up in Lytton, a town rich in native culture

How to Improve Life for Rural Canadians Canada Post became a Crown Corporation to improve network services. The Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association (CPAA) wants to ensure this multi-billion dollar public network remains viable and able to serve the public. We have found a way to make this sustainable. A recent study shows that nearly half of post offices outside of Canada’s big cities are in communities with no bank or credit union. In those communities that still have a bank or a credit union, many residents have to contend with limited, part-time banking hours. Our survey of Canada’s 3,300 rural post offices: “Why Post Offices should offer banking services” is available for free download at: http://bit.ly/CPAA_Survey. Offering financial services in post offices would create a new revenue stream for Canada Post. Equally important, it would benefit numerous communities in Canada whose residents, in order to get to a bank or credit union, are forced to travel long distances. That costs time and money and stifles economic development. Many other countries similar to Canada, such as the United Kingdom, France, Switzerland, Japan, Italy and New Zealand, have very successful banking services right in their post offices. We, at CPAA, believe that our study is significant because of the value of this public asset. Canada Post is uniquely positioned to offer financial services throughout rural Canada. When Canada Post can make more money and offer more services to Canadians who need them, we have a perfect opportunity. Let’s not lose it. Please Support Rural Canada. Write to Lisa Raitt, the Minister in charge of Canada Post, and ask her to make this happen. Her letter of suggestion can be found at: http://bit.ly/Letter_LisaRaitt. CPAA represents over 8,700 employees of Canada Post who work in over 3,300 rural post offices across Canada. These offices make up over 50% of all postal outlets. Our membership, consisting of 95% women, serves communities in every province.

Sports Early start for senior girls’ soccer season Barry Stewart Hope Standard

You know you’ve got motivated players when they ask the coach if they can start practicing six months before their season starts. Hope Secondary’s senior girls’ soccer coach, Jeremy Smith, has been running informal practices on Mondays and Fridays for three weeks, with a core group of about a dozen keeners showing up. “They are not mandatory,” said Smith, now in his third year as coach. “The girls are the ones that pushed for it. This is the first year that we’ve done it this way. “The biggest thing we’re working on is to get them to work as a team: making solid passes on the ground, controlling the ball and finding open spaces.” A handful of young men usually help out with the warm-ups and drills, then play against the girls during the scrimmages. Last Friday, it was Jeremiah Steberl and Yvon McKay helping Smith in a 3-on-10 game. “We only let the guys have three touches on the ball before they have to pass or shoot,” added Smith. “The girls get as many as they want.” The group has been fairly lucky with the weather so far — and with the school’s basketball program taking up much of the available gym time, the group may have to get creative when the weather turns foul. With the closing of C.E. Barry School in June due to seismic hazards, they don’t have the option of using that school’s gym space. Smith said that he held a meeting in October, to gauge the level of interest for the spring season and it was well attended. “We could get as many as 25 players, like last year,” he said. “I didn’t do any cuts last year — but we had a first team, that got more playing time than the second team.” On Oct. 28, 18 girls went to the Canada-Japan women’s exhibition match at BC Place. Five parents went along as drivers. “I got a good deal on the tickets,” said Smith, “only $24 each for first, second and third-row seats in the corner, on the end line. It was a good game… but Japan scored the winner with five seconds left. “On the way down, we stopped at Soccer Express in Coquitlam, to get some ideas on uniforms that we’ll have to fund raise for.” If plans come together, the girls will have their names printed on the jerseys, with perhaps a slogan along the lower back, said the coach. They have plenty of time to get funding together before the season kicks off in April. *****

In other soccer news, the Valley Choppers men’s team posted their first win of the season last Saturday, in an evening game on Chilliwack Secondary’s artificial turf field. Jeremy Smith is in his third year with the team, playing in the centre midfield. It took most of the first half to crack through the Tribesmen’s defence but Smith got his first goal of the season with a low shot across the face of the net. Brenden Gillespie scored another for the Choppers, then Hope’s Zane MacDonald launched across from the left corner and Smith leapt to knock it home with a two-footed strike. HSS grad of 2006, Kyle Kjemhus — the team’s goal-keeper since 2007 — earned his first shutout of the season in the 3-0 win. The Choppers’ next game is this Saturday at 2 p.m. at Fairfield Island Park, versus Old Settler, a team they tied in their first outing.
