telling the whole story
Local animator and current winner of the prestigious 2015 Leo Award for Best Direction in an animated program or series, Daniel De Serranno was humble, gracious and kind as he spoke about his journey to Hope. “I got stuck here, which is funny,” 47-year-old De Serranno told The Hope Standard. The Southern Ontario native was living in Toronto and working in the fashion district when he went to visit a friend in Vancouver, upon his employer advising him to come back in a few weeks (as there was no work at the time) — so being a typical Canadian, he jumped on a Greyhound bus. After arriving in Vancouver, a cheque he was expecting from his employer bounced, leaving him without funds and in need of a job. De Serranno found work as an animator with various companies in places like Port Coquitlam as a freelancer, before scoring a coveted position at Nerd Corps Entertainment/ DHX Media in Vancouver and never returned to Ontario. “From there, I just did the work over the years — I’ve worked in Toronto, and I worked in Asia on and off for over ten years, as well as China — that was pretty cool.” Fostering a lifelong love SUBMITTED PHOTO of drawing he attended the famous Sheridan College for Daniel DeSerranno accepts best director in an animated series or program at the animation and cultivated his 2015 Leo Awards with his wife Lily by his side. talent.

A new baby in the family? Congratulations! Just a reminder to keep the child on his back in the crib, don’t use blankets and pillows and dress the baby in a one-piece sleeper. Also keep soft toys and
other objects out of the sleep area and don’t let anyone smoke around the baby. New babies should sleep in an area near where the parents sleep but NOT with the parents. All these suggestions will minimize SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Even though electronic cigarettes are not legal for sale in Canada, some people still use them. One of the problems with these devices is that there is no regulations about what they contain besides the liquid nicotine. E-cigarettes are relatively new so there is a lack of long-
term scienti¿c evidence to support their safety. There still is concern that their use will lead to nicotine addiction.

Literacy empowerment Story contributed by Read Right Society
StoryARTS is Read Right Society’s new summer storytelling program that encourages learners and the greater community to engage the world of information and ideas, courageously and creatively. “Listening to and telling tales hones our literacy and imaginative skills. Through the art of storytelling, we improve our ability to listen, speak, imagine, connect thought and create,” said Shayna Jones, storyteller. Literacy empowers us. Literacy gives us the tools we need to engage our community and the world at large with our eyes wide open. Reading, writing and numeracy skills are essential components of this aim. However, there is more. Creative expression fills the gaps and breathes life into the “literacy tool box.” StoryARTS is a small group, drop-in workshop dedicated to nurturing and sustaining the development of storytellers. Participants will explore their own stories of transformation and discovery and learn to share them publicly. “As humans we have a lot of joy, sadness, laughter and experiences to share with each other and learn from. Storytelling has been around since the beginning of time and with new technology it’s been largely overlooked,” said Betsie Kopola-Hoshowski, Read Right Society’s summer student. “I’m excited to resurrect the tradition of storytelling and create a platform for people to listen and share with each other.”StoryARTS is held at Read Right Society’s Lounge on Tuesdays from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and Thursdays from 3 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, contact Betsie Kopola-Hoshowski at 604-860-0510 or literacysupports@readrightsociety.com

The Hope and District Arts Council is proud to present their upcoming Free Summer Concerts in the Park for the 2015 summer season. For all music and outdoors lovers the concerts will be held at the Bandshell in Memorial Park most Saturdays from July 4th through to August 22nd at 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. Upon the need to bring music and culture to the area of Hope, the concerts were established with the help of funding from a multitude of contributors including the Province, the District of Hope, FVRD, the B.C. Arts Council, ArtsBC, Pharmasave, Buy & Save, Envision and MNP. Hard working volunteers have spent countless hours striving for perfection with limited resources, while a plethora of local talent have allowed for the township of Hope to enjoy a lot of culture on a limited budget. “It offers the opportunity for the community to experience a variety of live musical performances. It’s good for seniors or people who are not able to travel to places like Chilliwack to see a show,” said Diane Ferguson, Hope & District Arts Council, Executive Director. It’s a good opportunity — it’s good for the town and for tourism. The uniqueness of the free concerts is that it allows a myriad of local talent to showcase the beauty of their work in an extraordinary setting (home,) according to Ferguson, who proudly admits that there are a lot of amazing homegrown musicians. The council also tries to bring in performers from outside the community when possible. Gerald Charlie and Black Owl Blues Band from Lake Erroch are slated as the first group to be featured on Saturday, July 4th and will be singing their trademark bluesy sound, following a traditional First Nations welcome to start off the Free Summer Concerts in the Park in an honorable and commemorative fashion. For all interested parties and for more information, please contact 604-869-3400 or hopearts@telus.net and come on down to enjoy an entertaining afternoon. Donations will be collected to help support the concerts for future summer days to come.

Published by Black Press Limited at 540 Wallace St., Hope, BC V0X 1L0
Trudeau might need a little more incubation time An email arrived in the Saanich News editor’s inbox on Tuesday morning from none other than Liberal leader Justin Trudeau. It read as follows: “hey. really quick... big announcement coming. on in 2 mins. it’s time for real change. gotta go. J.” The email, crafted to look like a buddy’s drunk text on a Saturday night, was sent to thousands of people across the country to bolster some lastminute webcast viewing of Trudeau’s campaign-style speech in Ottawa. The highlight of that speech, other than watching 200 Liberal MP-hopefuls fatigue their smiling muscles behind Trudeau’s podium, included a promise to reform Canada’s electoral system within 18 months of taking power. A bold plan, indeed ... except for the fact that the federal NDP have been advocating for proportional representation since 2004, and the Greens have had it on their books since the mid-1990s. The latest polling numbers (still four months out from the election) show that if the election was held today, the NDP could garner 29.1 per cent of the vote, while the Conservatives would hold onto a minority government with 30 per cent of the vote. The same poll suggests the Liberals would again be in third place with 94 seats in the House of Commons. Trudeau has a long road to climb to achieve Mulcair’s momentum, and the calculated release of the Liberals’ major announcements may yet be enough to turn the tide. But one mistake Trudeau needs to avoid is assuming that the Liberals belong in government or official opposition. Times have changed since Chrétien and his cronies stretched their dynasty from coast to coast to coast. Trudeau’s team followed up with another uncomfortably friendly email after his speech: “Busy day. Just back from the kids’ end of year school show, and found some more time to write.” Thanks, buddy! Wanna grab a bite after the game? Trudeau’s campaign team would do well to release the leader from his manicured campaign rollout so he can engage with everyday Canadians about real issues in an unscripted setting. People want to hear what each potential prime minister really thinks, but if that means reading poorly written text messages from Trudeau, they might just end up checking out. Black Press
Environment debate warms up federal election By Tom Fletcher Black Press
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to the West Coast Monday to unveil his party's environmental platform for the Oct. 19 federal election, promising to ban crude oil tankers from B.C.'s North Coast an impose an undefined price on carbon emissions after consulting the provinces. If he forms the next government, Trudeau would invite premiers to join him at the next United Nations climate change conference in Paris next December, and then meet them again within 90 days to come up with a national plan to regulate fossil fuel emissions. "Central to this will be the creation of national emissions-reduction targets, informed by the best economic and scientific analysis," the party's 12page summary says, adding that the Conservative government's emission reduction targets are "inadequate and meaningless without a solid plan to achieve them."

Conservative Natural Resources Minister Greg Rickford and Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq replied with a statement warning that the Liberal plan "will increase the costs of everything including gas, groceries, electricity." Rickford and Aglukkaq said Trudeau's promise to end fossil fuel subsidies would remove Ottawa's support for development of liquefied natural gas export facilities in B.C. In February, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced increased capital cost tax credits for the LNG industry, similar to capital investment incentives offered by B.C. NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has promised a national cap-and trade plan for carbon emissions, which would impose extra costs based on higher emissions and reward industries that are able to reduce them.

Petition strongly refudiated devious mind bent on sowing fear and discord. It not only aims to destroy the fair-play reputation we have built over the years, it also blatantly tramples on the integrity of our volunteer firefighters by suggesting they might retaliate. For more than 25 years, we have been privileged to share our time and resources through numerous community projects and so developed a growing respect for other volunteers, especially for our firefighters and search and rescue members, who can always be relied upon to give their best in service to the community. This good working relationship has grown into friendships in some cases, and if we have, however inadvertently, offended any of them — we are sure they would be in touch to clear up any misgivings before they can start to fester. Rest assured we continue to be available for all who come with the best intentions for the good of the community, knowing that by working together we can eradicate the foul-mouth gossips and through mutual respect of the other’s opinion build a better community.

A petition is going around town about our fire department. Some names on the list want drastic action; however, I feel our department is good, it just needs help and some changes. My thoughts are that we need more firefighters in training. Socializing
with a beer after a fire is always good.

It was rewarding to see that many people desire to do their best to support the many children who have benefitted from Childrens' Wish subsidies. In my opinion, this is one of the very best charitable foundations in Canada.

I was asked to man the children's wish booth. This major convention for trucking firms from across western Canada was held at the Tradex Centre. At their concluding dinner, they asked for substantial contributions for Childrens' wish and raised over $23,000. I am grateful for the generosity from the trucking community.

After the Wallace Street fire in May — and it is common after any calamitous event that many voices could be heard giving opinions and speculations as to cause and effect, as people get swept up in a wave of sensationalism. After a day or two the idle gossip dies down and thereafter it’s only the die-hard gossips, the real expert manure manipulators that keep stirring the pot. Most of us return to our regular life’s activities, possibly with a mental note about what, if anything, we may have learned from that experience. About ten days ago we were handed a hand-written draft for a petition seeking insight into the fire department management policies, clearly directed at the District Hall management team with no mention of the firefighters corps. As requested, we proceeded to properly type-set this item and then provide the client with approximately 60 copies. For us this was very much a daily routine — after all, we are a print shop — and we were totally unprepared for the violent reaction that burst upon us last Friday, maliciously alleging that our involvement in this petition has grievously offended all district staff, but especially the volunteer firefighters, so much so that we must expect to get boycotted by the letter. We totally repudiate this vicious insinuation, which can only have been thought up by a

SUDOKU JULY 2
In a small community it is always important that we work together to resolve concerns in a respectful manner and follow the proper channels to ensure that we do not alienate or polarize individuals or groups against one another. For those of us who would like to see the Fire Department grow in size and the community have more fire department volunteers, I would respectfully suggest that you do as I did and speak with the Chief about your interest in becoming involved in assisting the department. Another worthwhile point is that your new Dis-
trict Council has worked hard with our CAO John Fortoloczky to identify specific goals and timelines of these goals for all District departments. These goals are the result of much work and appropriate public consultation and I look forward to the short and long term results of these initiatives. In conclusion, I would like to give a personal message to all the Firefighters in the District — in an emergency, you have our back and Council has your back in this peculiar and unfortunate circumstance.

The Giveaway Child is a poignant story following the life of Hope author Greg Carson, who was tragically separated from his brothers at birth. Carson was raised by a family member after his parents divorced and he found himself surrounded by a series of unfortunate events, including a not so congenial stepfather and the mistreatment he suffered at the hands of his parents. As a result of his less than ideal childhood, Carson spent a lifetime feeling that he was a bit of an enigma. “I always felt different, something wasn’t quite right, but I

couldn’t quite place it,” he told The Hope Standard. Carson’s first memories were of his “shadow friends,” which he later realized were a subconscious manifestation tying him to his brothers. “The feeling of loneliness, even with family and friends, followed me,” he said. “There was always the knowing that something was missing, but I couldn’t place what it was.” After years involving lies of omission and the disconcerting realization that his father had kept the truth from him, Carson grew up and lived an unsettled adult life, always searching for something he couldn’t understand.
The dyslexic authour felt an incompleteness that haunted him, until finally, at the fateful age of 70 he discovered the shocking news that he had been born a triplet.

Fear Not—there is help for children and youth with anxiety Dr. David Smith
Medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health Everyone has times of feeling anxious, scared or fearful. In fact, without our body's innate ability to sense and respond to pending danger, we would never have survived as a species. These days anxiety disorders, however, are
like a car alarm repeatedly sounding when there is no real threat. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental health concern for children in B.C., affecting an estimated 10 to 12 per cent of all children, impacting their day-to-day life, their friendships, their school performance, their physical health and their sense of well-being. My colleagues and I in the mental health field are concerned that in this modern, fast-paced,
wired world, anxiety disorders in children are greatly increasing. We are seeing more children than ever before who are constrained and made miserable by their fears when they should be feeling safe, secure, confident and happy. Anxious feelings include a rapid heartbeat, difficulty catching one's breath, a sense of doom, sweaty palms, an upset stomach or stomach ache, even nausea and vomiting.

Focusing on the feelings can cause them to intensify, a vicious cycle. Anxious symptoms become a true anxiety disorder when the anxiety leads to avoidance of the situation that is causing the anxiety — like a child avoiding school or social situations. An unresolved anxiety disorder can often lead to depression, substance use problems in future years. Anxiety, however, exists on a spectrum. A certain amount of anxiety is normal and beneficial. It keeps our children safe and conscientious; it motivates them to perform well. Children who tend to have anxiety are often model students: intelligent, diligent, analytical, sensitive, alert, creative and imaginative. Too little anxiety and a child or teenager may take foolish risks or lack motivation to succeed. But too much anxiety and children become so constricted by fear that they may be unable to leave their parent's side, leave the house, go to school, make friends or participate in normal life. The good news is that anxiety can be very successfully treated. Regular exercise and reliable routines in children are often all it takes to quell mild cases. Mild and moderate anxiety is very responsive to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which is a process of addressing the unhelpful thoughts and actions that underlie anxiety. Thought stopping, talking back to negative thoughts, not believing everything you think, relaxation techniques like calming breathing, mindfulness meditation, and gradual safe exposure to the things you fear are all examples of types of CBT. All children — and adults, too — could benefit from learning simple CBT techniques to turn off their body car alarms that are sounding unnecessarily. In more long term or severe cases of anxiety — such as panic disorders, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive-compulsive Disorder — treatment may be a period of anti-anxiety medication plus teaching the child age-appropriate CBT techniques, an approach called "pills plus skills."

Bruce Jenner, the man who became a national hero during the 1976 Olympics and also when he won a gold medal and broke a world record in the men’s decathlon event had a different kind of victory this month: he finally revealed himself to the world as a woman. The cover and photo spread showing his new identity in the July edition of Vanity Fair magazine titled “Call me Caitlyn” hit the Internet along with a request to be referred to with female pronouns rather than male. The media quickly honored her wishes. A Twitter page for Caitlyn was set up the same day and broke Barack Obama’s record for the shortest time to reach one million followers, achieving the mark in four hours and three minutes. Not everyone reacted with kudos or acceptance though. Some were disgusted with the gender change and others by all the exposure this story is getting. For the former I’d like to explore the reactions. For the latter, I chalk that up to Bruce Jenner being a member of the most famous reality TV family, the Kardashians, of which millions are tired of hearing about.

If you are worried about your child or teenager's anxiety, there are many places to get help. Many online resources as well as books, some written for specific age groups, are available to give in depth information about anxiety and step-by-step instructions for specific CBT techniques. Anxiety BC (anxietybc.ca ) is a great place to start and it has detailed pages for adults and youth. Other sites include mindcheck.ca, and keltymentalhealth.ca. If you feel your child is needing professional help, see your family doctor or contact the MCFD Child andYouth Mental Health office in
your community. Dr. David Smith is an adolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health. This series of columns on common child and youth mental health issues is a project of the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substances Use Collaborative. The Collaborative involves multiple individuals, organizations and ministries all working together to increase the number of children, youth, and their families receiving timely access to mental health services and support in the Interior Health and Vancouver Island Regions. The Collaborative is jointly funded by Doctors of BC and the government of BC.
