A Nepalese woman and child, reflect the warm spirit of an earthquake ravaged country Local resident Shelley Empey, recalls her firsthand account of the tragedy in Nepal that started on April 25th, and was recently revisited with quake number two on May 12th. Her impressions of the Nepalese were of a loving group of people, who, though struggling with losing homes and loved ones remained bright and hopeful.
The long trek out of Nepal, one Hopite’s journey home Shelley Empey and Erin Knutson Hope Standard
A twelve day Adventure Trek with Earthbound Expeditions to celebrate her 50th birthday and that of her sister-in-law Deanna Empey, left Hope resident Shelley Empey amidst the survivors and chaos of the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal on April 25th, which was tragically followed by a second earthquake, rated at 7.3 in magnitude on May 12th.
“We were greeted with a heartfelt namaste from the owner of Earthbound Expeditions, Rajan Simkhada — a former guide himself, who has a passion for his country and the people of Nepal,” said Shelley of her arrival to the ancient country. Simkhada had done a lot of work with schools and orphanages in Nepal, according to Shelley who recalls him speaking of Nepal as one of the poorest countries in the world, largely in part, due to the lack of stability in govern-
ment over the past decade. The former guide was also adamant about the positive aspects of Nepal, which he also described as a developing nation, rich in many natural resources and in spirit. “He reminded us with a grin, to keep our expectations low and encouraged us to get out there and explore — after all we signed up for an "Adventure Trek.” The adventure bound Empey sister duo, toured a few UNESCO world heritage sights, including the ancient
city of Bahktapur, built between 1200 A.D. and 1500 A.D., which was destroyed by the ensuing earthquake. The pair rafted down the Trissuli river and camped over night on the riverbank. The Trissuli is comparative to the Thompson River — it’s a large river with nice floating sections and big holes, and rapids sections. Upon finishing a five day trek that started just outside the city of Pokhara up to Poon Hill, 3210 metres in elevation, where the Em-
pey’s watched the day break over the majestic Annapurna Range, a couple in their group had decided to get married in Pokhara. “On the morning of the earthquake, we had just taken the bride to go shopping for a sari. Deanna and I were inside of our hotel room on the third floor getting ready, when we felt the first tremors,” recalls Shelley, as her sister-in-law said "We're having an earthquake! What do we do?” Continued on 4

is the driving force supporting victim services, the program that places staff along side the volunteers. In this case it is my program manager Marianne BrueckertPreston. Marianne started with the Hope /Boston Bar RCMP Victim Service Program on January 29th, 1992. Yes, that is an impressive 23 years of dedication. When Marianne first came to Hope she hit the ground running. She had the responsibility of starting up our program, while creating and delivering a professional service that eventually established an exemplary reputation within our police station, including other professionals in the justice community. In 1992, after introducing a somewhat unproven entity, there were many new and unexpected growing pains working along side the police. We need to remember — this was really new to our town. Marianne weathered this transition, laying the groundwork with such a high standard of work ethics, professionalism and integrity, that today we are an integral part working along side our police counterparts. There have been many struggles over the years to ensure that police victim services sur-
vived the ever-changing status due to the political climate. Marianne led us (four solid volunteers) by adapting as needed, with minimal financial resources and with a huge heart. Marianne has been an original in terms of putting herself forward for the care of our clients, victims and survivors. She consistently ensures that in their time of need, every degree of aide is provided to ease their suffering. Marianne has delivered consistently with an overabundance of patience, caring, and is an incredible compassionate listener with the ability to address the most important immediate needs of a victim or survivor. The two things of note that drive Marianne is to ensure there is access to victim services programs for all victims and survivors and that the cracks these people may fall through are filled. She has established herself as a competent and admired professional by all those who have worked with her. In point, when we were looking at the very real scenario of losing our positions to be outsourced, the Crown Counsel and other community partners were rallying to put letters together in sup-
port of our continued employment. This is a true testament to the degree of confidence other professionals have regarding our program. To say that made our day is truly an understatement. Quite simply Marianne has been a mentor to me over the years, offering both support and encouragement in both my professional and personal life. Other Information about Applicant: Consistently, Marianne has been a solid contributor to, but does not end with the following: the Upper Fraser Valley Training committee; the Police Victim Services Symposium Committee, the Violence Against Women In Relationships, High Risk Domestic Violence Protocols, Purple Lights Campaign and too many various other groups, committees and initiatives through the years to list. Her passion “of right” is what continues to drive her to sustain participation in all of the above. Over the years Marianne has received heartfelt appreciation from people who were assisted through very difficult times. I do want to share with you a personal thank you from a family and a recent testimony from one of our members re-
garding Marianne. Marianne, I wish I could put into words my tremendous gratitude for your support and kind works, as we worked through the court process. I am positive that I would not have been able to hold myself together during pre-lim, had it not been for your friendly face in the court room and your words of encouragement both before and afterward. I don’t know how it is that you do what you do, but I do know that you are excellent at your job, and I can’t tell you enough how much J and I appreciate all that you’ve done. Thank you just doesn’t seem to be enough but thank you, thank you, thank you. Someone “upstairs” sure was looking out for me when they sent me your way. You truly made all the difference. My (our) sincerest thanks. M and J (names omitted for confidentiality.) Email dated March 21, 2014. Re: Performance of Hope Victim Services, Marianne Brueckert.

There has been an increase in gluten-intolerance during the past few years and more people seem to be adopting a gluten-free diet to reduce the symptoms mentioned
above. However, these symptoms can be caused by other medical problems. Check with your doctor to determine the real cause of the problems. During the past ¿ve years, the number of teens using tanning parlours has dropped signi¿cantly. Perhaps it’s due to fact that the World Health Organization in 2009 openly declared that tanning devices caused cancer. As well, several well-designed studies have shown that indoor tanning increases the risk of skin cancer. The idea of a poly-pill has been
around for about a decade. It’s a pill that combines 3-6 drugs into one pill. It contains an cholesterollowering drug, ASA, one or two blood pressure-lowering drugs. It’s designed to reduce the risk of heart attacks and second heart attacks. This idea is not a reality yet. There are a number of research studies being done around the world but no polypill is forthcoming. We have access to the latest in drug research from around the world. When a new drug becomes available, you can be sure we will know all about it.

Celiac’s disease is a clinical condition where gluten (a protein found in wheat and other grains) damages the surface of the intestinal walls so it can’t absorb nutrients from food. Symptoms include diarrhea, bloating, weight loss, fatigue, cramps and irritability. Eliminating all foods containing gluten proteins will relieve symptoms if the problem is truly celiac’s disease.

Opinion Published by Black Press Limited at 540 Wallace St., Hope, BC V0X 1L0
Belt tightened a notch on pot prescriptions Doctors who prescribe medical marijuana to their patients are being directed by their regulatory body to follow a new professional standard that may reduce legal access to the drug. The standard approved May 1st by the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons sets out detailed requirements doctors should follow if they authorize a patient to receive pot from a federally licensed commercial producer. Except in rare cases, it says, patients under age 25 shouldn't get pot at all, nor should those with psychosis or substance abuse disorders, cardiovascular or respiratory illnesses, or those who are pregnant or breast feeding. The new rules, should sway, non-medical pursuits, while protecting potential pot smoking candidates from recreational use in the name of medicine. Medical marijuana should only be prescribed with the consent of a doctor who has an ongoing "treating relationship" with the patient. Doctors of B.C. president Dr. Bill Cavers said he hopes that condition weeds out seedy pot authorizations from physicians who specialize in them, sometimes online via Skype. "I don't think it's appropriate for a person to walk into a clinic for the first time ever and then walk out with a doctor's signature with no follow-up or ongoing therapeutic relationship," he said. "Any physician providing a signature or access to marijuana for medical usage should know their patients." The tightening of policy will promote a medical consciousness in association with the use of medical marijuana, and hopefully, set the precedent that marijuana usage will only be approved for qualifying conditions, using the strictest of medical sensibilities and guidelines. Cavers acknowledged approval will be "more difficult" for would-be medical pot users who don't have a family doctor, but he said some walk-in clinics do offer ongoing care for patients. He said he supports the new standard. "There need to be guidelines otherwise it's a free-for-all with a substance that we know has had some deleterious effects in some people." Cavers said the federal government has put added responsibility on doctors by requiring an authorization that amounts to a prescription for pot instead of the old system of merely confirming a patient had an eligible condition. He said most B.C. doctors don't want to prescribe pot without much more evidence of its benefits and how it can be safely and effectively used – as with any other pharmaceutical. Black Press
Is the Orange Tsunami headed West? B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Albertans have always laughed about their long-standing reputation as a reckless, immature society. The classic bumper sticker, now available as a T-shirt or coffee cup in several variations, states: “Please God, give us one more oil boom, we promise not to p--- it away this time.” Now they’ve thrown out the government that finally tried to stop blowing money like a roughneck fresh out of the bush. Jim Prentice had the gall to propose raising income taxes for high wage earners, doing away with former Alberta treasurer Stockwell Day’s signature flat tax. In response, voters have abruptly replaced the 44-year Progressive Conservative dynasty with an upstart NDP that wants to tax the rich and corpora-
tions even more. Facing an oil slump, layoffs and a huge structural deficit in Alberta’s lavish public service, NDP premier-elect Rachel Notley is committed to a 50-per-cent increase in the minimum wage and another “review” of resource royalties. One headline in a national paper summed it up: “Go home, Alberta. You’re drunk.” In the sober days after the election, a few truths emerge. Alberta hasn’t been a fiscally conservative, small-government place for a long time. Among other things, it has ratcheted up teacher and nurse wages across the country. Alberta is broke, again, and even the NDP is afraid to resort to a sales tax. The minimum wage hike is a pet policy of Canada’s labour federations, which somehow remain convinced that poverty can be eliminated by state order. On the positive side, Notley has promised to end corporate and union donations to political parties, as has already been done federally. B.C. should be next, but the gravy

train of business donations is too tempting for our nominally Liberal government. Here at the B.C. legislature, an NDP staffer passed out cans of Orange Crush to celebrate. NDP leader John Horgan pronounced himself “ecstatic,” and hastened to assure reporters that Notley is “as competent as she sounds.” Notley now has to sort through a caucus that includes typical NDP place-holders, college students and union staff running in fainthope constituencies. Soon after the result, the party pulled down its website platform and candidate biographies, as Notley began phoning energy companies to reassure them Alberta will be “AOK” on her watch. Horgan likes to describe the “capital flight” from new NDP governments as if it’s just a show put on by big business. Plummeting stock prices and relocation of corporate offices are all staged, according to the party line, nothing to do with actual investment conditions created by NDP poli-

cies. This fiction is all Horgan dares to say publicly, because it’s what his party base devoutly believes. Besides, they’re only branch offices of multinational oil companies like Shell, Horgan said. He used his favourite Tommy Douglas quote, about the bad news of a big oil company leaving. “The good news is, the oil is staying here.” B.C.’s natural gas might be staying here too. Horgan insists he supports a natural gas export industry, but his party seems more concerned with an ascending Green Party, and an urban base that believes you can run a resource economy on windmills and solar panels. Notley supports twinning the TransMountain pipeline, while Horgan continues to insist he has no opinion on the project Adrian Dix so memorably opposed. The Alberta NDP has a steep learning curve ahead. The B.C. NDP has a couple of years to see if the appearance of a like-minded Alberta government is a boost for them, or a cautionary tale for voters.

Blue Fin tuna are in serious danger of becoming extinct. If over fishing isn’t curbed soon, the oceans could be in dire straits, leaving tuna lovers everywhere in search of a new source of protein. Please stop catching Blue Fish tuna, we need to preserve and protect our precious sea creatures and ensure that future generations will know the beauty of all the blue fishies in the sea.

Crusading Victoria paramedic needs our help needs our help I began a fundraising campaign for Lisa Jennings in November of 2014. At that time we were able to get her through the winter months, thanks to the generosity of many people who donated. During that period, Lisa also managed to get on EI for six weeks; however, the benefits have long since run out! I find it unbelievable that after another five months have gone by, Lisa is still without the proper financial support to help her through
her PTSD, which gripped her after 24 years on the job. She had to apply for welfare this week and shared with me what a humiliating experience that was! The ironic part of her going to welfare is that she will be receiving a whopping $610 per month to cover her living expenses, medical bills, etc. How unrealistic is that! As many of you will have noticed in the recent articles on Lisa, she has found solace and strength in her predicament by reaching out to
others in her field that are suffering from work-related PTSD and is focussing at a "grass roots" level to bring about change to the legislation. Her goal is to ensure that no other first responder ever has to go through the indignities and tribulations that she has had and continues to suffer and endure. Please join me in sharing her story on gofundme so that we can generate enough financial support for her (no amount is too small) to "sur-

After all, it is only the slow moving wheel of bureaucracy that is holding her Worksafe benefits back at this point, because she has certainly met all the criteria.

The fairness factor To teach her students a valuable lesson, a friend of mine asks them to divide $20. Students get to keep the money only if they can agree on how to share it. The only rule is that they are not allowed to split it equally. As a result, most don’t get any money. Lesson? Fairness is a very powerful and important principle for most people. As a result of last week’s federal budget, dealing with the Canada Revenue Agency just got fairer. Lack of fairness is at the heart of many of the complaints we hear about tax authorities. For example, it feels unfair to get a letter from the taxman using language that makes you feel guilty of a crime you didn’t commit. It certainly doesn’t seem fair that the language in many tax bulletins is beyond confusing. And the ultimate in unfairness is not being able to rely on the government’s own tax compliance advice. Several years ago, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business made 145 “secret shopper” calls to the CRA and found that 20 per cent of the time agency staff gave incomplete or incorrect answers to standard questions from small business owners. More recently, it was reported that the CRA’s own study found its agents provided wrong advice even more often than 25 per cent of the time. Bad tax advice can be a big problem if you are audited. We know of businesses who have been assessed tens of thousands of dollars for the “mistake” of following bad government advice. The stress of these situations cannot be overstated. We dealt with one case where an owner was assessed $93,000 for following advice in a government tax bulletin for her industry. She told us that paying the tax bill would cost her house or her businesses. The obvious unfairness of cases like those led CFIB to advocate for changes to tax administration policies, both provincially and federally. The B.C. government was an early leader in this area in 2005 when then-revenue minister Rick Thorpe introduced a Taxpayer Fairness and Service Code that committed to respect written tax advice — even if it was wrong. Relationships work best with fairness and salable advice. Laura Jones

The purpose of the PMP is to describe the vegetation management program in the FTSACA chart area in the Fraser Timber Supply Area. Vegetation control methods in this plan include aerial foliar spray, ground foliar spray (including backpack and power nozzle), stem injection (hack and squirt), basal bark sprays, manual girdling, power saw, stem bending and pulling and mechanical site preparation. These treatments will take place within the Fraser Timber Supply Area that contains Crown land designated as forest land within the Chilliwack Forest District extending from the Nesakwatch River drainage on the Canada / US border in the south to the Nahatlatch River drainage in the north. It extends from the Pitt River in the west to the Skagit River in the east. Since the FTSACA chart areas are spread throughout the Chilliwack Forest District, nearby towns include Boston Bar and Hope and the communities of the Fraser Valley. There are numerous dwellings scattered throughout the plan area. Proposed herbicides to be used include Vision, VisionMax, Vantage, Weed-Master (glyphosate), Release MSO, Garlon RTU, Garlon XRT (triclopyr) and Sylgard 309 (siloxylated polyether). This Pest Management Plan will be in effect for a period of five years from the date of approval (approximately 2015 to 2020).
A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant at the address above within 30 days of the publication of this notice.

Legendary author and charming resident of Yale, W.P. Kinsella, is gracious, insightful and blunt about his life and work. The 79-year-old author spoke candidly about the release of his newest book, ‘The essential W.P. Kinsella,’ which was distributed by his longtime publisher Tachyon. It’s an anthology, based on a prolific and comprehensive body of work and embodies the best of his writing. Kinsella is best known for his 1982 novel ‘Shoeless Joe,’ which was later adapted into a screenplay for none other than Kevin Costner in the colossal hit movie Field of Dreams. On his success, he describes it as moderate in comparison to his contemporaries in Stephen King, and even Danielle Steele, who have a tendency to write for the masses, but might be lacking in the substance of more interesting writers.

DIXON,
William It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden and tragic passing of William Peter Edward (Bill) Dixon on Friday, May 1, 2015 at the age of 33. Left behind to cherish his memory is his wife Tami (nee Kendall) and their two-yearold son Frazier. Bill is survived by his mother Edith Gazzola, stepfather Clark Carter, brother Jeremy Dixon (Raquel), step brother Timothy Carter, father-in-law Alan Kendall (Cathy), brother-in-law Sid Kendall (Jodi), aunt Judy MacNeill (Rodger), uncle Michael Gazzola (Pam), aunt Patricia Zimmer (Robert), aunt Mary Ellen Beamin (Charlie), aunt LeaAnn Russell, aunt Debra Dunsmore (Mic). He will also be missed by nieces, nephews, cousins and numerous lifelong friends. Bill was predeceased by his father Michael Dixon, grandparents Edward Dixon (Dorothy), Ruth Dixon, Peter and Mary Gazzola, uncle Peter Gazzola and mother-in-law Noreen Kendall. Bill was born in Hope, BC on May 18, 1981, and growing up he spent time in Hope, Vancouver and Yale. He graduated from Hope Senior Secondary in 2000, and lived in Lone Butte before moving to Kamloops, where he enrolled in welding at Thompson Rivers University. While in Kamloops, Bill met his wife Tami and they began their life together; they married on a sun swept Mexican beach in January 2012, surrounded by their closest friends and family members. Bill took great pride in his family. Though he spent years working in camps in Alberta, he was hired by Highland Valley Copper in February and was so excited to finally be back home full-time. His passing was shocking and terribly unfair, we take solace in knowing he was with friends and doing something he loved. Bill is loved so deeply by everyone he knew, he will be greatly missed. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday May 16th at 2pm at the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour St., Kamloops, BC, with Pastor Don Maione officiating. In lieu of flowers, a family trust account has been set up at TD Canada Trust in support of Tami and Frazier. Donations can be made at any branch quoting Transit #91460 and Account #6316630. Online condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com. 05/15H_OD14
