Firefighters from Hope and Yale work tirelessly to quell a raging fire The united front of over twenty volunteer firefighters from Hope and Yale fought bravely side-by-side to subdue a blaze that broke out late Saturday evening. Canyon Carpets and its neighbour Jay’s Appliance and Repair, along with three residential suites were destroyed by the sweeping inferno.
Devastating blaze decimates two Hope establishments Erin Knutson Hope Standard
Two local businesses were decimated late Saturday night after a blaze that began around 9:30 p.m. erupted, savagely destroying Canyon Carpets and three residential apartments within the structure on Wallace Street, before moving onto neighbouring business Jay’s Appliance and Repair. “The town has been awesome — the response has been overwhelming,” said Canyon Carpet business
owner Suzy Shaw, on the emotional journey of her and her husband Jim. It would have been the 25th anniversary of the store’s grand opening on June 1st, according to the Shaw’s who demonstrated a level of stoicism in the face of their devastating loss. “People have shown overwhelming support. There are not enough good things that I can say about the support that people have shown us — we’ve been offered buildings,” she said.
Safety was the prime concern for the Shaw’s who worried for the tenants in the three apartments in the building and their neighbour Jay Thomm from Jay’s Appliance. “We lost a lot of personal things in the fire, but we’re moving forward and we’re going to keep positive — we’ve got a lot of customers,” said Shaw. “Jim and I would like to thank everybody involved.” Any contributions for the recovery of the fire will be channeled toward the care of the tenants who
lost their homes and for Jay Thomm at the request of the Shaw’s. The united efforts of over twenty volunteer firefighters in an amalgamation of Hope and Yale firefighting crews and with limited resources, were able to subdue further damage to nearby structures which crews were able to protect from the blaze. “The cause will likely go undetermined, it’s not suspicious,” said Fire Chief Tom DeSorcy from the District of Hope.

“People say we tried this before, we did this in the 80’s and we didn’t receive good representation. We felt neglected by our MLA and so we want someone who is closer to us and that means probably someone from Chilliwack,” said Throness. Other reasons for the strong opposition included geographic and economic concerns. Hope is geographically part of the valley rather than the interior, and its geographic interests are aligned with the valley according to the MLA.
The Hope area is part of the economy of the valley, and the main economic business from Hope runs west toward Chilliwack as opposed to east toward Princeton or Merritt. There are many Hope residents who work in Chilliwack and the other way around. “It’s just a completely different character issue and I think the Commission should think about more than just numbers — they’re trying to get the numbers fairly even throughout, which is a perfectly valid goal,
but they need to look at the cultural and economic characteristics of the riding,” Throness told The Hope Standard. On the decision of the Commission, Throness predicted the outcome could be positive. “I have some optimism that Hope might be included in the riding — the Commission is an independent body and the decision will probably be in September, but I’m feeling cautiously optimistic that the wishes of the people of Hope will be listened to.”

an extra 1,000 surgeries province-wide in an effort to reduce wait times. The extra money will be targeted for patients who have waited longer than 40 weeks for surgery, Health Minister Terry Lake said Monday. Orthopedic surgeries, cataracts, hernias, plastic surgeries and ear, nose and throat procedures will be eligible for accelerated treatment. Lake said the money will open up extra operating room time in hospitals across the province, and in some cases it will be used to contract private clinics to perform extra day surgeries. "Patients want to have their surgeries done," Lake told reporters. "If the quality is there and if it reduces wait lists and it's paid for and administered by the public system, I think British Columbians would agree with that approach." Just one per cent of surgeries in B.C. were performed by private clinics using public funds in 2013. It's not yet clear how much that might increase but Island Health said in April it's seeking a private clinic operator to provide up to 4,000 day surgeries a year, or about 10 per cent of the region's annual total. Further cash infusions for surgery increases are expected in the fall and early next year. Along with the promised short-term relief,
the province is also pursuing longer-range measures to make the surgical system more efficient. Many family doctors often refer to the same heavily booked surgeon due to reputation or preference, while other surgeons are sometimes idle. Lake said one alternative may be to instead shift to a pool of surgeons where patients get assigned to the first one available. Similarly, patients who face a long wait to get into their local hospital may be urged to instead get their surgery performed at another hospital an hour or so down the road where OR time is going unused. "For patients, it's not as convenient perhaps," Lake said. "But it is an opportunity to have their surgery done faster." More recruitment and training of anaesthetists and surgical nurses is also part of the longrange plan. B.C. has increased the numbers of surgeries it performs over the years, but demand has risen faster. Lake pointed to soaring demand for procedures such as hip replacements over the last 15 years as patients realize what recent medical advancements now offer them. Each year there are more seniors who are typically living longer
lives. "We know these surgeries are becoming the expectation for people who want to live a good quality of life and that is the demand we want to meet." More than 50 of the province's nearly 300 operating rooms are not regularly staffed, according to a health ministry discussion paper on surgical reform. It said operating rooms are generally idle because health authorities have insufficient funds to run them, but in some cases they're shuttered because of a lack of specialized staff such as anaesthestists or insufficient local demand. According to the provincial surgical wait time website, the typical patient is waiting 45 weeks for knee replacement surgery and up to 10 per cent of them wait 77 weeks or longer. B.C.'s target is to complete knee surgeries within 26 weeks. Fraser Health engineered its own surgery surge earlier this year, reallocating a budget surplus to perform seven per cent more surgeries to reduce wait lists. It's not yet known if Fraser will be charged financial penalties under the province's pay-forperformance system for several hundred surgery waits that in late 2014 threatened to extend longer than a year.

Blaze doesn’t conquer spirits in Hope From 1
“We arrived on the scene and decided it was dangerous and went on the defensive posture.” There was a large fuel load with paints and carpeting which is petroleum based, according to DeSorcy. The combination helped fuel the fire and escalate the speed and intensity of the blaze. “My team reacted — they’re the best and they did an excellent job,” said DeSorcy of the heroic efforts of the volunteer fire department. No one was injured in the fire and the cause remains unknown at this time.
“It’s sad to see the loss of two buildings in our community that housed two active businesses and three residential apartments,” said Mayor Wilfried Vicktor. A crew was still on site Sunday morning and throughout the day to oversee remaining hotspots. “Thoughts and prayers go out to those involved and a special thanks to the fire personnel who worked tirelessly to contain the blaze to the smallest area possible,” said Vicktor. Canyon Carpets re-opened Wednesday June, 3rd and is currently operating out of 326 Wallace Street next to the Blue Moose from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
A special thanks goes out to Wes Bergmann for his help with the facilitation of the temporary location. Supplies and samples should all be available by the weekend. “Thanks to everyone for your support throughout this time and we will continue business as usual” the Shaw’s imparted to The Hope Standard.

Hope referenced for split from Chilliwack riding The controversial debate regarding the future of the Chilliwack-Hope riding is wide reaching Black Press
The proposed change in Langley provincial electoral boundaries has prompted a response from Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA and deputy premier Rich Coleman, as well as from the Greater Langley Chamber of Commerce. Interestingly enough, few other Langley residents bothered to comment on the proposed boundaries, which would split Coleman's existing riding into two, and add large areas of Abbotsford to each of the two ridings. They would be divided by Highway 1, according to the commission's original proposal. The proposed shifts are due to population growth, as the commission's mandate is to create ridings that are roughly equal in population, except for several large, farflung northern ridings.

north of 72 Avenue and south of Highway 1, as far east as 208 Street; and the area east of 216 Street and west of 232 Street, south of 56 Avenue. This would include all of Murrayville. "I do know that people in Aldergrove do have a common community with people in Abbotsford," he said in the submission. "In fact, 264 Street is probably the best line to use to move population from Langley into Abbotsford, with the least disruption to Langley overall." He had told Black Press in April that he was concerned about the lack of common interests between people in South Langley near the Surrey border and those in Abbotsford. He also noted that the proposed ridings divide both Langley and Abbotsford. In addition to his comments about the Langley ridings, Coleman also proposed that the ridings further east in the Fraser Valley respect municipal boundaries as much as possible, and that Hope be included in a Chilliwack-Hope riding. The Langley chamber also spoke against the proposed new boundaries. President Kristine Simpson said in a letter to the commission that "proposed east-west divisions impose significant challenges on elected officials representing multiple municipalities." She noted that the two Langleys are members of Metro Vancouver, while Abbotsford is part of the Fraser Valley Regional District. The two Langleys are part of TransLink as well — Abbotsford is not. Simpson said the chamber recommends electoral boundaries with more focus on a north/south 9AM-9PM FRIDAY, JUNE 5 • 9 alignment.

Legislature.
According to the Electoral Boundaries Commission website, there were only four other comments from Langley. That contrasts with hundreds of comments from Hope residents, who are concerned that their area will be split away from an existing riding in Chilliwack and attached to a riding including Merritt and several other interior communities. Coleman proposed to the commission on May 26 that Abbotsford not be included in any Langley ridings. Instead, he is suggesting that the area east of 264 Street, which includes urban Aldergrove, be attached to two Abbotsford ridings. The portion north of Highway 1 should be added to Abbotsford West, while south of Highway 1, he suggests inclusion in Abbotsford South. He also recommends that two portions of his existing riding go to the new Langley riding — an area of Willoughby

The first health clinic in the Fraser Valley that is geared toward gay and bisexual men opened this week in Abbotsford. The centre will run every Monday from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Abbotsford public health unit, 34194 Marshall Rd. The service is a partnership between Fraser Health and Health Initiative for Men (HIM) and is the fifth such clinic to open in the Lower Mainland. The two agencies conducted an anonymous health survey, starting in March, of gay and bisexual men living in communities east of Surrey. Dr. Michelle Murti, medical health officer with Fraser Health, said the survey indicated that one-quarter of respondents did not have a family doctor and one-third indicated they had not informed their doctor that they were sexually involved with men. "There's still a lot of stigma associated with it," Murti said. She said the health centre will be staffed each week by one or two
nurses and will provide counselling, free condoms, testing for HIV/ AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, and information about sexual health in a safe and welcoming environment. Murti said the clinic will also create a "bit of a community" for gay and bisexual men that could lead to other programs and services, such as yoga and wellness classes. The first two health centres opened in Vancouver in 2009 and 2011, and Murti said about one-third of the clients were from the Fraser Valley from as far away as Hope and Chilliwack. Clinics in New Westminster and Surrey opened last year and have been well-received, Murti said. She said hours for the Abbotsford clinic could increase, depending on need. The service is offered on a drop-in basis or by appointment at 604-488-1001 (ext. 227) or through the Abbotsford location at 778988-1946 (only during clinic hours).

Highway 16 records destroyed, ex-staffer says The B.C. NDP is calling for an investigation of missing records they have been seeking on community meetings along Highway 16 in northern B.C. NDP MLAs produced letters from a former assistant to Transportation Minister Todd Stone, who says a supervisor deleted emails from his computer to keep them from being considered for a freedom of information (FOI) request. A history of missing and murdered women along the remote highway from Prince George to Prince Rupert led to a series of community meetings last year. Opposition critics have been demanding records from the meetings, and calling for additional bus service along the highway to keep vulnerable people from hitch-hiking. Former executive assistant Tim Duncan wrote to B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Dunham Thursday, saying his supervisor told him to delete a dozen of his emails in November 2014 after an FOI request came to the ministry. “When I hesitated, he took away my keyboard, deleted the emails and returned the keyboard stating, ‘It’s done. Now you don’t have to worry about it any more’,” Duncan wrote to Denham. Confronted with the letter in question period Thursday, Premier Christy Clark said records should not be deleted once an FOI request is made. Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk said not every email is considered a government record. Stone said he intends to have a “frank” discussion with his ministerial assistant George Gretes about the accusation that Gretes deleted the emails. In an email to NDP leader John Horgan’s office, Duncan acknowledged he had no evidence of the incident or the content of the deleted messages. He said he blew the whistle on the Highway 16 incident because his own father was murdered in a domestic incident in 2010, and he believes the families of missing and murdered people “deserve better.” Duncan was appointed to his job in October 2014. He told the NDP he left “the cesspool that is the B.C. government in March” and reported to Denham that he believes abuse of the FOI process is “widespread and most likely systemic within the Clark government.” Black Press
Is B.C. a Third World backwater? B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher We might call ourselves Super, Natural or even The Best Place on Earth, but how is B.C. viewed around the world? Ever since U.S. billionaires and their environmental clients decided more than a decade ago to supervise our society, the impression that British Columbia is a primitive colonial backwater in need of “saving” has only been reinforced. In late April, the province and coastal aboriginal leaders announced completion of marine planning areas for Haida Gwaii and the North and Central Coast. U.S. activists knew about the announcement weeks before the legislature press gallery did, and a documentary crew was sent up to advance the narrative of the saving of the "Great Bear Rainforest.” Within minutes of the announcement, the World Wildlife Fund website trumpeted the
creation of the “Great Bear Sea,” continuing the penchant of outsiders for renaming large parts of B.C. to fit their marketing strategies. Unlike the “Great Bear Rainforest” land use deal of 2007, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace were not represented. Instead, Tides Canada CEO Ross McMillan sat beaming in the audience. McMillan’s role in directing U.S. foundation money to B.C. has prompted him to declare himself “a principal architect of the Great Bear Rainforest project,” although in the early years he and his staff (currently 24 people) stayed behind the scenes while Sierra, Greenpeace et al took the credit. At the event, two aboriginal leaders gave a nod to the real funder of the ongoing effort to “save” the B.C. coast, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Gordon Moore is a cofounder of Intel Corp., maker of most of the world’s computer processor chips, now spending his vast fortune on the Amazon basin, B.C. and other “threatened” places.

Other Silicon Valley and Seattle billionaires helped finance the original effort, and a strategy document surfaced in 2008 describing their plan to de-market the Alberta oilsands by creating a blockade against energy exports on our Pacific coast. That campaign has featured a fake cancer study and grossly exaggerated greenhouse gas claims compared to U.S. coal and oil production. The effort has since expanded to natural gas, with false horror stories about “fracking” finding a receptive global audience. Last week I wrote about the plan by British manufacturing conglomerate Reckitt Benckiser to buy up farms in the B.C. Interior and replant them with trees. Contrary to my description, “RB Trees for Change” isn’t participating in the dodgy European carbon credit market. They’re just doing it for global marketing purposes, covering pioneer-cleared farms of our colonial backwater with forest for 100 years so they can advertise their soaps and cold pills as carbon neutral.

Another 10,000 hectares of B.C. “saved” from destruction by benevolent foreign interests! Back to reality. B.C.’s Auditor General issued a report last week calling on the province to do more to prevent the “cumulative effects” of industrial development. A familiar example of this is the struggle to maintain caribou herds in northern B.C. The B.C. government mustered a response from the multiple ministries that have worked on this since 2010. Among other things, they noted that 90 per cent of B.C.’s vast area is now covered by regional land use plans created to manage cumulative impacts. A whopping 37 per cent of B.C. is designated as parks and protected areas for environmental and cultural values. Maybe that’s still not good enough, but it’s better than anything I can find in Europe or the U.S. That’s particularly true of California, home of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, a pipeline spill, heavy oil refining and gridlocked freeways.

Political myths debunked "NDP governments are poor money managers" etc. etc. Facts prove that this is all hogwash. Even the Federal Finance Department has stated on countless occasions, that the best run financial records from across Canada have proven to be Provincial NDP administrations. We are not just talking about Tommy Douglas’ governments in Saskatchewan, where he perfected financial "miracles" after inheriting horrendous messes from the Conservatives. We are also talking about more recent governments in Manitoba, British Columbia and YES, even in Ontario. These media outlets did a wonderful job of clouding the NDP record in Ontario from the 1990's. They misrepresented and distorted everything that happened to the point that many ill-informed pundits still
refer to the " financial mess" of the Ontario NDP government. The facts state these misrepresentations are simply untrue. In a so-called "democratic" society where less than half of the people get out to vote (17% in Chilliwack in the last municipal), it is apparently easy to manipulate the electorate into believing anything. Half of the people are too lazy to bother to vote. The other half can be brainwashed by distorted facts, simple lies and manipulated facts. A case in point is the last provincial election in British Columbia, where Adrian Dix was destroyed by outright lies and distortions. The people fell for this crap. Instead of being poor money-managers, the NDP across Canada has proven itself to be the very best financial manager that this country has ever seen.

My question is how come? Lately our news is telling us that Hydro #1 in Ontario, has charged ridiculously high prices to over 100,000 of their customers. Our present head honcho in Ottawa has a legacy for building prisons. It might be that he knew what was going on in his own neck of the woods. If that is the case, how come he is not acting on his information. Yukon Eric Holopainen Hope, B.C.
Lucky Christ Church Reverend Daniel Westin from Sweden is in the Hope area for the next three months. The reverend will be continuing with regular service at the Christ Church Anglican Church. He has three children with him and they are scheduled to be here until July 1st. Daniel is holding service every Sunday and is available to parishioners upon request. Mrs. Westin is currently hard at work as she embarks on a studious journey in Agggassiz (you could say the minister is dutiful-
ly preaching his wife through college.) This coming Sunday there will be a special hat party for everyone. Regular service will commence and a zany British inspired garden party will start at 10 a.m. The padre will be there in his finest, along with members of the congregation to enjoy some scones, a few extraordinary hats and whimsical fashions. Everyone is welcome to come on down for a good time. Dick Gardner Hope, B.C.
A heartfelt thank you To our brave police officers, firefighters, EMT, doctors and parents — you are our heros. Every day someone needs you guys. You stand there with your honour day-after-day. We don’t know what to say except thank you to all of you for looking out for us and for saving our lives on a daily basis in both little and big ways. We couldn’t have done it without you. The police help us if we are in danger, our parents are there to help us
when something is wrong. Firefighters put out fires whenever there is a fire, as we have recently seen with the devastation that occured on Wallace Street to Canyon Carpets and Jay’s Appliance and Repair. EMT, you help us when someone is injured and needs immediate care. And to the doctor’s who take care of us when we are very sick and in lots of pain — we say thank you. Ionela Garrett Hope, B.C.

I'm waiting for the day when some of our media outlets report the truth and stop being lackies for corporations that have a direct interest in seeing to it that the NDP is not elected. As a local city councillor for years in Ontario, the very first thing that we learned was that "Conflict of Interest Legislation" prevented us from participation on issues that could directly benefit us financially. Yet, you now have many, many examples where conflict of interests arise that benefit media outlets in their "reporting" of "fair" political happenings. It is long overdue that the voter becomes more aware of the corrupted reporting of NDP affairs and comes to realize that these myths about the NDP are just that — myths.

There are several major disconcertingpolitical myths in Canada concerning the New Democratic Party. In my 45 years living in Canada, I have been amazed at the proliferation of inaccurate myths directed at the NDP, both provincially and federally. What is even more amazing is the fact that very few pundits or political writers have taken it upon themselves to expose these myths. Much like the United States, we know that most media outlets, whether they be radio, TV or newspapers, are controlled by a handful of large corporate outlets. Although many editors will claim that they simply report the news; it is obvious that this is far from the truth. Why is it that the same, tired old myths of "NDP’rs cannot even run the corner grocery store,’ or "whenever NDP governments get elected, the economy takes a dive,” and

Nestled in the evergreens of Memorial Park 68 participants and 18 volunteers excitedly took part in this year’s 10th Annual Hike for Hospice on Saturday, May 23rd. Registrations and pledges trickled in as enthusiastic and loyal supporters braved the low rain clouds and mild wind while enjoying their McDonald’s coffee and muffins. Guest of Honour Madison Marshall, Miss Teen Fraser Valley 2015, welcomed the morning’s line-up: talented young singer-songwriter Holly Cherniwchan performed acoustic renditions of her original tunes, Kim Richardson led the warm-up and Mayor Wilfried Vicktor continued the annual ribbon-cutting tradition. Adorned in purple t-shirts to commemorate Fraser Canyon Hospice Society’s 20th Anniversary, participants begin their 2 or 5km routes with a pedometer from Chilliwack Division of Family Practice’s Walk with your Doc Team of Hope Medical Clinic. Along the way, they were greeted with smiles and water from Hope Fire Department and Envision Credit Union before making their way back to
the park to anxiously receive a door prize. With an effort that brought in over $800 in pledges, Mike Steer once again reigned as Top Fundraiser and happily received one night’s accommodation plus dinner and breakfast for two from Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa. At this time, Fraser Valley Regional District Electoral Area B Director Dennis Adamson also presented the Society with a cheque to sponsor five children to attend this September’s Camp Skylark - the society’s weekend-long bereavement camp for 25 children between the ages of 7-12 who have lost a loved one. On average, over 100 palliative patient, family caregiver and bereavement clients from Agassiz to Boston Bar annually access the ociety’s volunteer support programs, patient comfort services and complimentary therapies.

Helicopters are required for this work. The contractor has obtained the necessary permits and permissions and is in compliance with Transport Canada requirements. Conductor ends will need to be joined with the use of an implosive connector that is a metallic sleeve with a small charge in it for each conductor. Using safe and controlled methods, the sleeves are detonated which compresses (welds) the conductor ends together. This split-second process will create several flashes with smoke and very loud bangs. Traffic control measures will be in place as needed. Work hours will conform to municipal bylaws.

The Christ Church Anglican Church is proudly hosting its Hats Affair for all extraordinary hat lovers in Hope. “We look forward to having people wear their finest headwear, whether it be the biggest hat of the bunch, the smartest hat, or just the most hilarious version,” said Reverend Daniel Westin. “Think of dressing the part too whether it be polka dots, vintage or something futuristic.” When deciding on the proper clothing for this outrageously attired event, think of Jackie Kennedy, Queen Elizabeth or Carmen Miranda and what a travesty it would have been had they not had their jaw dropping outfits at all times. Bring your best and brightest hats along with your finest ensemble to Christ Church on Sunday, June 7th at 10 a.m. for a great socializing opportunity involving scones with jam and a traditional tea, while participating in a classic hat showing of an extremely British tradition.

Chief’s coach set to increase international visibility by heading to the city of angels Eric Welsh Black Press
Chilliwack Chiefs coach Jason Tatarnic will look to increase his team’s international footprint when he holds an evaluation camp in Los Angeles, CA. Tatarnic heads south in late July (24-26), setting up shop in the Toyota Centre, home of the National Hockey League’s Anaheim Ducks. “We know California is a hot-bed for good hockey players right now, and we want to establish our identity more down there,” he said. “When California kids are looking to play hockey, we want them thinking about the Chilliwack Chiefs.” Tatarnic’s 2014-15 roster included two Cali kids. Forward Luke McColgan was there from training camp, and goaltender David Jacobson arrived after Christmas. Both were important players, but the bulk of the American imports came from Connecticut and Vermont. “Last year we did well in the east, and this year we did well in the east, but you can never rest on just one area when you recruit,” Tatarnic noted. “You want to expand your recruiting area and to us, California’s right Pictured above, California kid David Jacobson (goalie) defends his post during the playoffs. in our backyard.

work to promote it. “The camp will be a success if we find one or two kids,” Tatarnic said. “They have some really good players, and some hidden players too, diamonds in the rough. Some of them might just need an opportunity to play somewhere.” The team got positive results from an appearance in Rubber Magazine, a popular publication read by players and parents involved with California’s ice and inline hockey communities. The team has posters up at the Toyota Centre and a link on the arena’s ‘camps and clinics’ page. “We’ve contacted all the minor hockey associations down there to spread the word to their members,” Tatarnic added. Chilliwack’s not the only BCHL team interested in California. The Salmon Arm Silverbacks had a camp just outside of LA. “They’re pretty aggressive, doing camps in California and Colorado,” Tatarnic said. “Every team’s different in the way they approach things. Our next thing is to establish one in Boston, and we’ve already selected the dates and started making contacts for next year.” “Colorado’s getting bigger,” he added. “Texas is growing and the new one that’s realFILE PHOTO/ BLACK PRESS ly coming up is southern Florida. Even Ohio and Wisconsin, there’s a lot of growth happening there.” The Chiefs have just released a new recruitment video which can be viewed on the team’s website at chilliwackchiefs.net or on YouTube (search Chilliwack Chiefs recruitment video.)

The family is sad to say that, after a brief battle with cancer, Brian has left us, hopefully to a better place. Many thanks to the kind and wonderful staff at Fraser Canyon Hospital for their care of Brian these last few weeks, it was appreciated. Brian was born in Edmonton, but moved to Hope as a young child in 1966. Brian grew up here and had a unique love of the town. He loved sports and in his teens and twenties you would often find him at the baseball diamond with his group of friends. He moved around to Edmonton, Kelowna and New West but always found his way home to Hope. A train accident in 2008 resulted with him loosing his legs, but you would often see him wheeling around Hope, rain or shine. He will be missed by his mother Florence Hagerman, his daughter Jenna (Jeff) Carter, his siblings Sharon Lundgren, George Gaine, Cliff (Kelly) Gaine, and Sandy (Mark) Willey, and numerous nephews, nieces, aunts, uncles and cousins. Memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, June 6, 2015 at the Chapel of Hope, 1270 Ryder St, Hope BC. In lieu of flowers, donations are encouraged to the Hope Hospice Society.

A guide to information & services for Hope & area adults
improves quality of living
T
he Hope Healing and Health Chiropractic and Related Services facility promises to deliver a balanced health care model for the maintenance, prevention and immediate relief from muscular-skeleton issues for seniors and all ages in the Hope area. Heading up the facility is Dr. Shawn A. Eldridge who provides chiropractic care and a full range of services including exercise therapy, kinesiotaping, orthotic therapy, custom bracing, traction therapy and instrument and manual soft tissue therapies to a majority of seniors in Hope. Eldridge emphasizes first assessing and addressing the issues of his clients and dealing with them in a proactive and preventative manner. Part of his extensive diagnostic and treatment process includes discussing nutritional needs, lifestyle changes, exercise and regular sessions to effectively treat his patients differing needs. “A lot of issues that my senior patients have is with mobility, so what I do is all about enhancing mobility and improving pain and loss of function,” Eldridge told The Hope Standard. As people age they tend to develop osteoarthritis and suffer from hip and knee pain.
“It’s about improving mobility and keeping people active” It’s up to the patient to take the tools from an assessment and utilize them to make a plausible and successful course of action for improving longevity and quality of living as well as feeling better. “I’m addressing the motion of the joints, tension and flexibility — I can build custom braces for knees and other joints while addressing alignment issues and orthotics,” said Eldridge of the extensive and integrated services he provides. After evaluating his patients by ascertaining a thorough history and disclosing their pain level and mobility, Eldridge is able to formulate a plan of management which involves setting health goals, whether that be reducing inflammation, or providing sound dietary advice with an exercise regime that involves strength training exercises designed to target pain.

Chiropractic care
“Osteoarthritis is defined by the deterioration of the joints, it is a gradual thing that happens to everyone as they age and it’s simply a manner of discerning how much it affects the quality of a person’s life.” Mobility is everything to ensure a healthy and active lifestyle among seniors. Often when people feel pain they have a tendency not to move, but Eldridge emphasizes the necessity of movement to help with pain management, resolution and prevention.

embrace life to a chiropractic certification, the highly credentialed doctor was adamant that he could treat anyone of any age with immediate issues, or help them to sort out preventative goals. Starting out as a personal trainer, and going through the co-op program at University helped Eldridge to work in different areas of kinesiology which helped him to determine his career path.
“Preventative medicine is what I hope to achieve in the long run with my patients.”
Healthy mobility is key for longevity
The Hope doctor is all about staying in motion. “Movement is medicine — usually the tendency is for people to stop moving when they feel pain, but the majority of cases I treat involve movement therapy,” he said.“When I recognize the problem, my goal is to treat it so the patient can feel better. I want to ensure that I’m providing a preventative model of care.” The accomplished doctor began his practice here in 2009 and enjoys providing a facility that offers a plethora of services to help keep people healthy and feeling good. “I hope to make a difference in people’s lives and take them from a point where they have a lack of mobility and optimize their quality of life. I’m fascinated with the human body and human movement. It’s about improving somebody’s life or taking an athlete and helping them to maximize their performance.”

ldridge recommends supplements and additional supports that are related to muscle and joint care as well as Omega 3 fish oils that support the healthy function of bones and joints. The value of chiropractic care is immeasurable according to Eldridge, who carefully discussed the nature of the complex workings of the nervous system and how they are connected to the muscular skeleton elements in the body. “After four to six visits there can be a dramatic effect and the majority of my patients often get better, but if something is acute or chronic it may take some time.” he said. “I try to keep my patients comfortable and encourage them to visit sooner while guiding them further through their health needs and goals.” After nine years of intense study in kinesiology at the University of Windsor and then on

Manor Inspires a little independence
T
he monthly cost in comparison to its living arrangement contemporaries in the mid thousand range, offers a more financially feasible solution to seniors trying to make ends meet on a tight budget. The majority of seniors in the Hope area are living on a reduced income and finding suitable housing arrangements can be challenging for the modern senior, especially if they are alone. “Though the model is based on an independent system, the facility also provides extra support for those who qualify, whether it’s home support or a doctor’s visit,” said Arrowsmith. There are eight staff on site including Arrowsmith who glowingly mentioned the non-paid board of directors who help facilitate maintenance of the Manor by offering their time, skills and services free of charge. “There is always something to do,” she said, speaking of the Manor and the seniors as if they were her family. The first resident came to live at the Manor in 1972, after the conception of the Mount Hope Senior Citizen’s Housing Society in 1965 and it’s been successfully housing citizens aged 65 and up for over four decades. The respectful and calm atmosphere at the Manor allows local seniors to live independently, while giving them the added benefit of the support of peers and staff. The vacancy rate at the Manor is often varied, whether it be from the passing of a resident, or a resident moving onto a different arrangement which is usually overseen by the family, but can also be put into motion by staff if they’ve noticed changes in a resident’s daily coping mechanisms. “Sometimes, we may just say to a resident how are you dealing
with this and usually they know if it’s time to consider an alternative arrangement.” People are free to come and go as they see fit and are encouraged to partake in the myriad of different activities available to them such as a good game of bingo, a bean bag toss, or playing on the resident piano in the spacious and bright open kitchenentertainment concept the facility features. “We try to bring in entertainment and encourage our residents to get out and socialize, though it’s not mandatory.” Finding extra income can be tough and the seniors Arrowsmith works with are often subsisting on a total income of $1400 a month, which has to cover personal expenses, medications and taxes, leaving very little wiggle room for much else. It’s about providing a quality of life for their residents and ensuring they are comfortable and have the opportunity to get out into the community and enjoy activities amongst themselves, like a few green thumbs in residence who plant gardens and nurture the onsite greenhouse.“On average there is a turnaround of three to four residents every couple of years,” said Arrowsmith. “It’s hard to get residents at times and we have two vacancies right now and we’re still trying to accommodate all of our expenditures.”The selection process for potential new seniors is an important part of securing the right type of resident and ensuring that the person is a good fit for independent living within their model. “There is an interview and application process, the potential candidate is assessed for things like being able to walk up a flight of stairs and the level of their independence,” she said. “They are reassessed every six months and if their condition has changed to the point where the Manor can no longer provide an adequate living arrangement for them they will help the resident find appropriate lodgings, suitable to the individuals needs. The Manor has to be innovative in terms of maintenance and often it will secure its own board members to do a building job or to help maintain the property.
“The seniors here work together and look out for one another and we offer home care support to our residents and a health worker if needed, for example, if that resident needs help with medications, bathing or even getting their hair washed,” she said. There are also safety checks that happen at bed time to ensure the well-being of residents.The staff operate on a base salary of $10.25 an hour and work from their hearts as they care and interact with the seniors. The head cook Mark often works tirelessly along with housekeeping staff who understand the needs and requests of the residents. “They can be particular at times,” said Arrowsmith of how the seniors like things kept and disclosed that a measure of patience was a necessary tool for successfully navigating the waters of the Manor. The average age of the resident is 82 and includes a rich and varied personality type, but they all seem to get along relatively well and in a cheerful manner according to Arrowsmith who spoke fondly of the different gardening projects her seniors have undertaken. “It’s about providing the best quality of life — the best you can.”
