Storytime in the Park kicks off the summer season
PATTIE DESJARDINS / THE STANDARD
Readers of all ages crack open “Fly Guys Amazing Tricks” by author Tedd Arnold at Memorial Park on Tuesday, July 7th to celebrate the beginning of Storytime in the Park for the 2015 summer season. Kristan Enns (left to right) and her children Atticus and Aria Enns, along with her niece Sucilea McGraw, read along with this week’s book. The program is sponsored in partnership with the Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL,) the District of Hope and a host of local businesses and contributors.
Alzheimer’s Society of BC expands Erin Knutson Hope Standard
The Alzheimer’s Society of B.C. officially introduced its new Surrey Resource Centre and its one-of-a-kind First Link framework model to the local community. The Resource Centre is part of The Alzheimer’s Society’s massive expansion plans that will provide an extensive range of services to the South and East Fraser
region; this includes, Delta, White Rock, Surrey, Cloverdale, Langley, Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack and Hope. The First Link program is an innovative service that connects individuals suffering from dementia, as well as their friends and family to the Society for further information provision, so the opportunity to exercise the basic human need for a bet-
ter life is met to its fullest. “First Link provides early access to on-going, reliable support services and education essential for people to live well with dementia,” said Maria Howard's, CEO of the Alzheimer’ Society of B.C. in a press release statement. “The new Surrey regional Resource Centre will enable us to deliver First Link support services more effectively to places
like Hope.” The announcement by the Ministry of Health in November 2014, solidified its commitment to a $ 4 million grant to the expansion of the First Link program and the Surrey Resource Centre. Existing services were successfully built-on as a result of the funding. “The more people that understand Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias,
the better prepared they are to manage it at all stages of the disease,” said Howard. “We’re very happy to bring First Link to the South and East Fraser region and will provide ongoing connection, information and touch points throughout the journey for individuals with dementia and their family and friends.

Emil Anderson Maintenance of Rosedale was the successful bidder in a $3.7 million rehabilitation project to resurface 10 kilometres of the Trans Canada Highway through Boston Bar from Anderson Creek Bridge to Green Canyon. The work consists of extricating existing pavement and repairing all damaged areas, then repaving over the road surface. “This is an important project for Boston Bar and area residents,” Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness said. “It will result in a smoother driving surface, less dust, and a higher level of safety for everyone who uses the highway.” The project is part of the government’s new initiative B.C. on the Move, which is a 10-year plan dedicated to the improvement of the province’s transportation network. The resurfacing of Highway 1 through Boston Bar is expected to be completed by fall 2015. The plan was created by government officials after an extensive information retrieval strategy that involved a sophisticated engagement process in fall 2014. The engagement utilized information gathered from a public survey that received more than 12,500 responses from B.C. priorities residents. Ministry staff consulted with the entire province, First Nations, transportation authorities, local municipalities and interested stakeholders to ascertain local and regional priorities. Over the next three years, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure will invest about $2.5 billion to improve British Columbia’s transportation network. The actions prioritized in B.C. on the Move are expected to grow the economy, improve safety, maintain and replace aging infrastructure and support trade for B.C.’s expanding resource sectors through Canada’s Asia-Pacific Gateway.

Multi-Vehicle Crash Shuts Down Hwy 1 Westbound from Hope to Herrling Island Submitted by
Cpl. Ronda Rempel of BC RCMP Traffic Services
RCMP Fraser Valley Traffic Services were called to the bottom of the hill on Highway 1 at Herrling Island on Monday, July 13th at approximately 8 a.m., for a report of a broken down van in the left shoulder. As this was a road safety hazard, a member arrived on scene to assist the driver and mitigate any chance of a collision. All occupants of the van were out of the vehicle. Preliminary information suggests a westbound vehicle, travelling in the fast lane braked suddenly to avoid colliding with the stopped police car, which at the time had all of its emergency lights flashing. This abrupt stop caused a second vehicle, also in the fast lane to hit the first vehicle that in turn struck the
police car from behind. A third vehicle then hit the second vehicle. Within moments, a commercial truck took evasive action to avoid the first four vehicles, flipped on its side spilling its load of lumber all over the roadway. A fifth vehicle then hit the truck or the debris and came to a stop. A sixth and final vehicle, a large moving van flipped after the driver panicked in an effort to avoid the collision. The van luckily did not make contact with the other vehicles. “There is limited information on the vehicles, number of occupants or extent of injuries at this time,” said Cpl. Rempel of BC RCMP Traffic Services. “We can confirm at least one occupant with minor injuries was transported via ambulance to a local area hospital.” Fraser Valley Traffic Services is man-
aging this chaotic scene with support from Hope RCMP, Department of Highways, BC Ambulance Service, Hope Fire Rescue and local area tow trucks. There are several contributing factors; such as location, weather affecting the road condition and speed being looked at as potential causes of this multi-vehicle collision. Cpl. Rempel reminds drivers to slow down, keep your distance and be prepared to make a sudden stop at any time. You never know what obstacle you may be presented with and when you travel at a slower speed — you have more time to react. At the time of this release, both westbound lanes remain closed in order to clean up the debris and for Fraser Valley Traffic Services to continue their investigation. Further updates about the road closure can be found at drivebc.ca.

Recent campaigning by officials has been met with little success, as a new attempt to create awareness around road safety issues was brought to the table in Operation Shield Submitted by
Cpl. Ronda Rempel of BC RCMP Traffic Services
Imagine standing on the side of Highway 1 as a Semi-Truck blows by you within feet, travelling over 100 Km/hr. This is what roadside workers experience everyday while doing their job to protect British Columbians and improve B.C. roads. RCMP Traffic Services members from Port Mann, Fraser Valley and Greater Vancouver IRSU participated in Operation Shield an enforcement operation to remind drivers of the Slow Down, Move Over legislation. This effort was initiated after several near misses reported over the last few months from the field and even a few crashes. Luckily no one was seriously injured or killed. The legislation was amended in January of this year to include all official vehicles. If you see red, blue or yellow flashing lights, you must slow down and move over when safe. A driver must slow to 70 km/hr when travelling in a speed
zone 80 km/hr or greater. If the speed limit is less than 80 km/ hr, you must slow to 40 km/hr. “Making a safe lane change to move over is easy if you are looking ahead and paying attention,” said Cpl. Rempel of BC RCMP Traffic Services. During Operation Shield, officers issued over 30 violation tickets and a $173 fine with 3 penalty points. Officers observed numerous trucks failing to slow down to the 70 km/hr and move over. With the sheer weight of these vehicles, a crash would most likely be fatal for the officer and the driver who was stopped. “Drivers of passenger vehicles were also guilty of the same offence, some passing the fully marked police vehicle at speeds greater than 100 km/hr,” she said. Over a ten year period, 235 roadside workers have been injured and 15 have been killed. “We are reminding motorists to slow down and move over for all official vehicles — roadside workers need B.C. drivers to be the protectors now.

Parents question School Board At a recent adhoc meeting of Fraser-Cascade School District No. 78, the Board was met with heated frustrations, as parents concerned with the lack of adherence to a policy regarding cross boundary bussing came to the forefront of discussion for the Harrison Hot Springs/ Kent area. Policy 7700 (Section 1) states that ineligible students (students not atttending current route schools) may ride the bus, provided there is space available on the bus and that no extra stops are required. According to parents in attendance, the Board has reverted to policy (7000,) which negates policy 7700. Policy 7000 ca-
ters to students who attend the catchment area school only. The policy directly states that parents whose children transfer to a non-catchment school are responsible for transportation to and from school. Burnt out parents from the Harrison Hot Springs and Kent area voiced strong opinions, regarding the dismissal of an already established policy and called for further resolution and accountability on behalf of the Board. “We want the Board to stick to their policy that’s all,” said concerned parent Michelle Mailhot and owner of two Subway restaurants in the Agassiz area. “I have to make two trips a day,
when there is an empty bus riding in front of me — it’s ridiculous.” The Board stood firmly by their resolve to stick to policy 7000, until the proper protocol could be established to revise current policies which are in conflict with one another. The transportation driver, caught in the crossfire of the situation maintained that it was his duty to follow direction from the Board. “We will reconvene on August 25th, when we are better able to establish the appropriate steps to be taken to rectify the situation,” Super Intendent of School District No. 78, Dr. Karen Nelson told The Hope Standard.

Lena is learning the ropes of both establishments and discovering the business aspects that go into running an art gallery/ studio, while getting her hands dirty. “I spend half of my time at the Art Gallery office and the other half at the Art Machine (where she teaches three different classes,)” Lena told The Hope Standard. I’m learning a lot of valuable stuff at the office as well —it’s important to learn both sides of the business.” The Chilliwack native who hopes to teach art in a high school setting one day, tried her hand in fine

Lena is passionate about working in a dark room setting and told The Hope Standard that working with analogue (film) gives the artist a different perspective photographically and perhaps an edge as well. “It makes me look at light differently — you have to spend more time with each image, you have to think about the image more and you can’t just adjust a red eye, or remove a pimple with photoshop and be onto the next image,” she said.

Assessing the costs of climate change The threat to human health from climate change is so great that it could undermine the last 50 years of gains in development and global health. This statement headlines a landmark report by a new Commission at the University College London Institute for Global Health. The report was published last month in the prestigious journal The Lancet. “Climate change has the potential to reverse the health gains from economic development that have been made in recent decades, not just through the direct effects on health from a changing and more unstable climate but through indirect means such as increased migration and reduced social stability,” said Commission co-Chair Professor Anthony Costello. “However, our analysis clearly shows that by tackling climate change we can also benefit health, and tackling climate change in fact represents one of the greatest opportunities to benefit human health for generations to come.” The report outlined the direct health impacts of climate change which come from the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, especially heat waves, floods, droughts and storms. Indirect impacts come from changes in infectious disease patterns, air pollution, food insecurity and malnutrition, involuntary migration, displacement and conflicts. According to the World Health Organization, the health effects of climate change will be felt in air quality, sufficient availability of safe drinking water, enough food, and secure shelter. WHO estimates that between 2030 and 2050, climate change could cause approximately 250,000 additional deaths per year from malnutrition, malaria, diarrhea, and heat stress. A dollar figure on health costs is around $2 billion to $4 billion a year by 2030 and those with the least ability to cope (largely in developing countries) will need the greatest help to respond to their health challenges. Extreme high temperatures contribute directly to deaths from cardiovascular and respiratory disease, particularly among elderly people. High temperatures like those seen recently also raise the levels of ozone and other air pollutants especially from wildfires that exacerbate cardiovascular and respiratory disease. Pollen and other allergen levels are also higher in extreme heat and can trigger asthma which affects some 300 million people a year. The report’s authors and WHO independently agree that reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through lowering pollution and choosing sustainable energy give us at least a shot at protecting health and maintaining the status quo. “Climate Change is a medical emergency,” said co-Chair Professor Hugh Montgomery at the UCL Institute for Human Health and Performance. “It thus demands an emergency response, using the technologies available right now..” Black Press
Is B.C. LNG industry real? Yes Tom Fletcher Black Press
The B.C. legislature is back in session this week, a rare summer sitting to approve a 25year project agreement for the first large-scale liquefied natural gas project in northern B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong released the lengthy legal agreement prior to the debate, saying this step should remove any doubt that an international investment group led by Petronas of Malaysia intends to go ahead. With billions invested in upstream resources and buyers waiting at home, the Pacific Northwest LNG group includes Chinese state corporation Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Petroleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei. The most contentious issue is the government’s intention to protect the investors from “discriminatory” tax and regulations for the life of the project. The government insists these sorts of longterm cost certainty agreements are common-
place, and don’t affect provincial and federal taxes or environmental regulations unless they single out LNG operations. Future governments can raise corporate tax rates, carbon tax or enter into a cap and trade system. Ottawa can scrap capital cost allowances that were recently extended to LNG producers, which is significant because Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has indicated he would get rid of what he calls subsidies to fossil fuels. Both the province and Ottawa allow capital cost write-offs against corporate tax, to attract investment. B.C. attracted a lot of gas drilling rigs from Alberta with tax breaks for deep drilling. The B.C. government invited comparisons with Western Australia LNG producers, and NDP researchers did just that. They noted that Australia’s Gorgon and North West Shelf LNG projects have written provisions that local employment and local suppliers will get preference. Those are absent in B.C., along with apprenticeship guarantees for LNG.

“There was hard bargaining by the companies, and certainly the premier went into this negotiation in a very weak position, having to deliver on her extravagant and grandiose promises from the election,” NDP critic Bruce Ralston said. “The companies did well. Whether the citizens of British Columbia did well is certainly an open question.” Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver painted himself into a corner, having spent the last two years dismissing the B.C. LNG industry as a fantasy that will never come to pass, strictly on economic grounds. He has since branded the Petronas deal, a template for any future projects, a “generational sellout.” Another big player with gas well investments in northeast B.C. is Shell, with a proposal for Kitimat. Its prospects have improved since it took over British Gas Group, which had its own LNG intentions here. Another group led by Altagas remains on track to ship LNG from its Douglas Channel site before the end of the decade.

It’s important to remember that without LNG exports, B.C.’s natural gas industry will shrink rapidly after 50 years of increasingly significant revenues from sales to the U.S. Leaving aside all the political positioning around the province’s largest private investment to date, if this doesn’t go ahead we will all feel the effects. De Jong had a blunt response when asked what the province gets in return for all its guarantees of low tax environment: “Their money.” At peak construction, Pacific Northwest LNG will need as many as 4,500 workers, with 500 or more operations jobs depending on how far it expands. The finance ministry forecasts that once Pacific Northwest LNG is up and running, it represents $9 billion in revenues to the province over 10 years, including gas royalties and taxes. That’s more than taxpayers can expect from the entire forest industry. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Before you write a letter complaining of anonymous petitions please note, everyone who signed the petition gave their name and address; therefore, it was hardly an anonymous petition taking a snipe at anyone. The problem must be dire, if so many people have signed. Perhaps you should spend your time checking the facts, before taking a “swipe” at the concerned citizens of Hope. P.M. Crystal Hope B.C.
Searching for opinions on the road I went on a search of opinions of what the Canadians think of the shape Canada is in. My trip started right here in Hope, B.C. and went to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario and back to Hope B.C. My first day took me to a campground in Moxie Lake a few miles west of Cranbrook B.C. The people there did not seem to have a care in the World, they were really enjoying their holiday’s. On the second day I went through Calgary, as always seemed to be busy getting ready for their yearly “Stampede,” then I ended up in Edmonton, Alberta. Edmonton was very, very busy, construction wise, but even so their hostels were feeding and bedding homeless people to their capacity. Continuing east on Yellowhead Highway, major cities like Lloydminister and Saskatoon were being
overwhelmed by the people using the food banks and hostels. In most small towns where I stopped to refuel my van, I was sure to find the food bank timetable on their notice boards. Most farmers were complaining about the high cost of feed for their animals and the lack of rain this late in the year. When it comes to Manitoba, I decided not to check on Winterpeg for personal reasons, bad things have a tendency of happening to me, during visits to this city. Although I have to say that Manitoba has the best highway as far as the Trans Canada highway is concerned. There is also a lack of passing lane available, during designated passing zones — which makes it hard to pass when the speed limit is only 90 km/h. Ontario also has a problem with the growing
need for food banks and for hostels. My former hometown, the Soo has been changing tremendously since I left, and that has been about 40 years ago. You can shoot a cannon down main street after 6 o’clock, without worrying about hitting anyone. Last but not least, I wavered from my idea of speaking to Canadians about the shape Canada is in today. In my opinion, we better start to worry bout the situation in Greece to avoid, what is happening there presently. With a forthcoming, general election, it is time to wake up our politicians from their doldrums before its too late.
the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter called to say they had heard of the bear cub rescue and were ready and willing to send someone down to pick up the cubs and transport them to the wildlife shelter. The shelter was informed that the bear cubs had already been killed. We also know, having spoken to operators of the wildlife shelters in B.C., that many of them receive government funding and that even they are therefore obligated to tow your unethical line. We want you to know that we are citizens of this province who are outraged at your policies and practices. We are disappointed that you would condone the slaughter of these two cubs and the castigation of Officer Casavant. You should be commending Officer Casavant for his forward-thinking, progressive, compassionate refusal to carry out your anthropocentric policies. We salute Officer Casavant for his courage to stand up for what is right and we believe he should not only be immediately reinstated to his job (with back pay), but that you should promote him to be your consultant and advisor on the humane, sane and compassionate treatment and stewardship of our wildlife brethren.

Yukon Eric Holopainen Hope, BC
CO suspended for saving cubs We are writing with regard to the issue of Conservation Officer Bryce Casavant being, who was suspended without pay for saving the lives of two bear cubs in Port Hardy, B.C. We are ashamed at how wildlife issues are managed in this province. We have witnessed too many deaths of wildlife animals at the hands of conservation officers who are acting in accordance with the policies set out by our provincial government. We want you to know that this on-going slaughter is not missed or ignored by us or many other residents of this province. It is entirely anthropocentric, inhumane and short-sighted to believe that we have the right to exterminate other animals in the name of convenience and economy. Every year hundreds of healthy bears, bear cubs, coyotes, coyote pups, cougars, wolves and so on are killed in our province by this government. We have spoken personally and at length with many conservation officers and have heard all of the justifications and rationales. We are tired of hearing how these animals are a threat to human safety. It is we humans that are the biggest threat. In fact, here in Kamloops a few years ago two rescued bear cubs were taken to our Wildlife Park and were slaughtered upon their arrival due to government policy. Minutes after their extermination,

I as an endorser of the petition being circulated in Hope, wish to state in an emphatic manner, that at no time was the petition talking about our fire personnel. Did you read the petition? If so, where did it have any reference to our volunteers? We all know that the fire personnel give up a great deal to help protect us, and the amount of compensation they receive is totally inadequate for the task they perform. However, these are individuals who have volunteered, for which, I at least, am truly grateful. The petition has nothing to do with these individuals. If you had read the petition, which presumably you did, you would have understood that it was aimed at the management. Since when does a small district like ours, require a fully salaried fire chief, when the rest of the members are volunteers? I understand the position of fire chief is extremely important, but in a district this size a part-time fire chief, and a part-time assistant would

The Art Machine comes to life From 5
The 25 year-old bases her projects on inspiration she takes from real life and has broached First Nations issues and created a personal documentary style photo essay on the life of a thrift store shopper, taken from her own love of all things thrift store. “It’s great to raise issues, issues about the community, something to draw attention to — perhaps a detail that people have missed.” The observational and experimental artist, gravitates toward mixed mediums and changing things up. “I love observing people,” she said. Lena will complete her internship on August, 22nd and hopes to finish her final year strong, as she contines on to complete her PDP (teacher certification.) She imparted a few words on the solidity of the Art Gallery and the Art Machine. “I like how everyone contributes — Diane is kind of the backbone, but everyone pitches in, whether it’s someone cleaning up, or someone volunteering here or there. Everything is made possible by everyone contributing,” said Lena. “It wouldn’t exist without the volunteers.” Part II What the new intern at The Hope Arts Gallery and The Art Machine told The Hope Standard in a one-on-one interview.

JULY 16 CROSSWORD PUZZLE
HS: What kind of class is this (in reference to an earlier children’s art class at the Art Machine)? LW: We take on kids from the rec centre for the summer for an hour every Monday morning — today we made fishing rods and they decorated little fish, and their little fishing rods. It was supercool, as you saw things got pretty hectic at the end when the kids started
start, at a community program. HS: Does art enhance a child’s development in any way? LW: For sure — I think it builds character, because working together is part of it and finding out how they learn, what kind of art they like to make, what kind of colours they like to use, it all plays into their identity and it helps
ERIN KNUTSON/THE STANDARD
Lena Wacyshen (right) and a student enjoy making crafts at the Art Machine
playing with their fishing rods, but, when they were actually making them, they were a little more calm, a little more into it. HS: Art, what does it bring to kids? LW: I think it makes them cooperate better for sure, and it definitely helps with their dexterity — some kids are more rough with it and others are more tender about it and go carefully, which I think is really good. The program really creates a sense of community, because the kids are working together and they also know how things work, and they can take the classes with us later and get a start in the arts —that’s how I got my

them to find it. HS: What level is this particular class on? LW: It’s a rudimentary level — we do small crafts that you can complete within an hour, but within a class there is a wide spectrum, some kids are scribbly about it, and some kids are into the fine details and want to make things perfect, so it’s totally individual for what kids want and can do. HS: What do you enjoy about teaching kids? LW: I like how fun they are, how imaginative they are — things can get kind of crazy sometimes, but it’s kind of fun to watch, it’s fun to watch kids squirm around and have a good
time with each other and it’s also really cool to see what they come up with, because they’re not as concerned about making things pretty and proper — things can be crazy and colourful, they have a sense of wonder and adventure with it, which is pretty fun to watch. HS: Do you recommend it to kids who are a bit standoffish about art, or maybe scared to try? LW: Yeah, for sure, especially the simple crafts, it’s not like we’re taking on a big painting where they have to finish it, it’s a simple one-hour craft that anyone can do and have fun with. HS: Does it improve your student’s confidence level? LW: I think so, because when they see something when it’s done at the end, they can feel good about making it and that makes them feel a bit more confident about what they’ve made. It doesn’t seem like they compare their work to each other and having fun develops your sense of identity and your confidence as well, so that’s really important. HS: What do you hope the kids will get out of the art experience? LW: We’d love it, if it sparks an interest in the arts and they come to a painting class or a pottery class — that would be super awesome. Exploring things and finding out who you are when you’re young is important. Explore everything you can and we have this great program here, so you might as well take advantage of it.

BC Parks rangers James Godfrey (left) and Owen Catherall work with Hope Mountain Centre volunteers Ben Ten Cate Brouwer and Ray Daws to install new signs along the Hope-Nicola Valley Trail near the Othello Tunnels. Open to hikers, mountain bikes and horses, the trail was once part of an 1876 cattle route used by Merritt ranchers to bring their cattle to Hope via the Coldwater and Coquihalla valleys, following a similar route to Highway-5. The trail passes through beautiful stands of old-growth forest and offers dramatic viewpoints. New signs and trail improvements were funded by the BC Parks Enhancement Fund and AdvantageHOPE with project coordination by Hope Mountain Centre.

Reader’s of the Week! Young readers across Hope are building their cognitive muscles
PHOTO BY DEB IRELAND
The Build It! Summer Reading Club 2015 is proud to present the Hope Library Reader’s of the Week— yes, there are two this week: Jessica Dobson, aged four, is a voracious reader and lists Cinderella as her top recommendation for a good book to get lost in this summer. On her reasons for choosing the classic fairytaile, the young page turner had one thing to say:
WATER IS LIFE Canad da’s pipeline companies respect how important water is to all our lives, and to future generations. When pipelines cross rivers and stream ms, special carre is taken taken.

“It had a pretty blue princess dress.” The Club is also proud to present Kaitlyn Brown, aged six, as the Hope Library Reader of the Week. Kaitlyn chose Nate the Great as her top pick for summer reading and had one thing to say about her choice of literature: “There were lots of cats!”

A PASSION FOR CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM
Northwest Harvest
The long way home Erin Knutson and Cindy Murphy Hope Standard
In 2012, Kate MacEachern, then a Corporal in Armoured Corps was on medical leave due to a serious injury and forgot to call her grandmother, in fact, she forgot for several days. The response MacEachern received from her grandmother when she finally called was this: “I was starting to think you put on those army boots and walked clear across the world to save someone.” Those words, as innocuous as they appeared at the time, inspired The Long Way Home, Corporal MacEachern’s self-assigned mission to raise awareness of the burden and stigma endured by those struggling with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD.) Kate is no stranger to those struggles. As a member of the mounted troop in the Lord Strathcona’s Horse Regiment, she suffered lifethreatening injuries —not only was the road to physical recovery long, arduous and fraught with setbacks, but she continued and continues to this day to suffer from PTSD. “When I got off the phone with my Nanny, something clicked — the thoughts I had about desperately wanting to help others struggling with injuries, plus the comment about walking across the world in my army boots sparked something profound in me — I wondered, could she be onto something?” said MacEachern. The advent of The Long Way Home was born in 2012, as MacEachern began a 19-day walk, traversing a trail spanning 576 kilometres from Gagetown, NB to Antigonish, NS. In 2012, after obtaining a medical release from the military, Kate walked a staggering 1876 kilometres from Cape Breton, NS, to Ottawa, ON. Success from the careful navigation of her prior strenuous and resourceful journeys, led MacEachern to a repeat walk that started on May 1st, 2015. Bravely shouldering her bag, MacEachern packed up her rucksack and then hit the road again in an attempt to raise awareness for the condition. “It’s difficult for people to understand the nature of invisible injuries like PTSD — the ruck symbolizes the weight carried by those who bat-
tle it,” she said. This will be her longest and hardest trek. MacEachern began her westward journey after a reception at Government House with the Honourable Vaughn Solomon Schofield, Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan and the journey will come to end in Chilliwack during the B.C. for the Wounded Warriors Weekend on July 24th. “Many don’t realize the emotion that goes into these marches – out on the road, there is a constant struggle to stay focused and not let emotion take over, it’s about having a strong mind, strong body connection. It’s a lonely journey in many ways, physically and psychologically,” said MacEachern. The Long Way Home is coming to Hope on July 22nd to present funds at the Canadian Legion Hall. All proceeds will be donated to PTSD and to facilitate the pairing of service dogs with those surviving PTSD through an organization called Paws for veterans. “Having an animal gives people a feeling of responsibility and a reason to get out of bed in the morning — in my opinion, no one should live alone,” said Branch No 228 Legion member Ian Williams. Williams told The Hope Standard that PTSD is starting to get the attention it deserves, as many veterans come home suffering from various degrees of the debilitating psychological illness, which is caused from distressing trauma sustained on duty. “They didn’t understand what it was three decades ago, but now it’s being recognized as a legitimate illness,” he said. “It’s prevalent, very prevalent.” What used to be treated with a “suck it up” attitude is now being acknowledged for its severity and its relevance to a new generation of sufferer’s — people coming out of places like Afghanistan. The Royal Canadian Legion Branch No 228 and the District of Hope first responders wish to invite the citizens of Hope to come out on July 22nd at 5 p.m. to line Wallace Street from 6th Ave to 3rd Ave to greet Kate MacEachern, as she ends her walk in the name of PTSD.

MUCK YOU.
When it comes to young people, early identification and treatment of mental health or substance use issues can be critical. In my series of articles I have been recommending three main actions for parents who know or suspect their son or daughter is experiencing mental health difficulties: 1. Consult one or more of the informative BC websites and organizations available to you. You can connect with other youth and parents with lived experience through the FORCE at forcesociety.com or through the Kelty Mental Health Resource Centre at keltymentalhealth.ca or toll free at 1 800 665 1822. Other helpful sites are anxietybc.ca, mindcheck.ca, or cmha.bc.ca. 2. Talk to your family doctor — in recent years many general practitioners in B.C. have taken extra training in child and youth mental health diagnosis, treatment and management. 3. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 to find the Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) office nearest to you. You can also access the Child and Youth Mental Health and Substance Use service map at: www.health.gov.bc.ca/ healthy-minds/cymhsu-servicesmap. html In this column, I want to focus on MCFD's Child and Youth Mental Health (CYMH) Services, which are offered in more than 80 locations across the province, and in particular their new intake process. The process streamlines and standardizes mental health screening and initial assessments for those under 19 years of age for quicker access to mental health resources. Many families who've never connected with MCFD previously are surprised to learn that community-based CYMH services have been provided under the umbrella of MCFD for close to two decades. While family doctor visits, emergency room services, or hospital admissions all fall under the health system, if your child
MUCK YOUR FRIENDS. IT’S FOR CHARITY.

At that time the following options will be considered as next steps: • Is an urgent response (such as hospital admission) required? • Do you need some more information, parenting resources, and/or validation and support? • Would a referral to another community service be better suited for your child’s and family’s concerns? • Or is it appropriate to proceed to the full intake interview to understand more about potential mental health challenges? If it is the latter, the intake clinician will continue with a more in-depth intake interview and screening process. All the while, the clinician will talk with you about the best way to meet your child's
needs, whether it is an urgent response, referral to others or acceptance into CYMH services. Those services may include anything from assessment, diagnosis and treatment by a specialist psychiatrist like me, or work with other mental health practitioners such as a nurse or clinical counsellor, especially for specific help like cognitive-behavioural therapy, or group therapy, among many options. At the end of that first intake meeting you are then provided with a copy of a brief plan for initial supports and services -- all in a couple of hours. While there may still be waitlists for specific treatments or specialized services, the intake process is greatly simplified. As one parent recently noted about the new intake system: "I was pleasantly surprised at how easy and welcoming this experience has been — I am grateful to the clinician for making us feel so comfortable and at ease while talking about some really tough issues concerning my daughter." This new process is expected to be fully available at all offices by the end of 2015 and will support approximately 80 per cent of BC children and youth seeking assessment through MCFD. For the smaller number of children or youth whose symptoms or concerns are much more severe or complex, the CYMH office may arrange alternative options for the first intake. This can include outreach, where a CYMH team-member would meet the child and family at home or in the community rather than having on the family to come to them. 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, jointly funded by Doctors of BC and the government of BC. The Collaborative recently received a national award from the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Canadian Psychiatric Association.
Self-first isn’t selfish
MUCK EVERYONE.
CHILLIWACK, BC Saturday, October 3
needs further assessment and treatment or ongoing community-based therapy, you may be referred to MCFD’s Child and Youth Mental Health Services. Psychiatrists, like me, work both with the health authority and MCFD services, depending on whether we see your child in the hospital or in the community through the CYMH clinic. Over the past 18 months the MCFD began a new intake screening and initial assessment process. Previously, access to services took anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. Now, under the new streamlined intake, the process typically takes a few hours. It works very much like a walk-in-medical clinic. If you feel your child needs help, all you do is show up to the office closest to you with your child during the intake hours. (Teens can show up on their own without parents, if preferred.) See #3 at the beginning of this column for how to find your nearest clinic. The administrative assistant will give you a form to fill out that asks for basic information, including symptoms and concerns. After the information is entered into the system, an intake clinician will review it and meet with you privately to engage in a brief pre-screening interview.
I’ve developed a bad habit of putting other people’s needs ahead of my own. Actually, I’ve had this habit my entire life, but lately it’s been getting worse. I know. What mother doesn’t do that? The smart ones, that’s who. There’s a great analogy about being in an emergency on an airplane and placing the oxygen mask on yourself first so you’re able to help those around you. It makes perfect sense. But do I typically help myself before others? Not usually. And I’m especially not doing it now. I’m writing this article in the wee hours of the morning, not because I’ve woken up early or stayed up late, but because I didn’t go to bed at all. I’ve been
pulling a lot of all-nighters recently and only getting three to five hours of sleep the rest of the time. That lack of sleep is catching up with me. I’m more forgetful, less productive and absolutely exhausted. And when it comes time for column writing, I often feel empty, like I have nothing to offer. “You need some me-time,” my 12-year-old daughter, Daisy said yesterday. I agree. I do. For many months I’ve been putting myself on the back burner while concentrating on helping other people. I haven’t been taking care of myself physically or mentally, and nodding off at the computer while in an upright position has become a common occurrence. This time last year I was do-
ing far better. Despite being extremely busy, I still managed to hike daily, eat healthy and get plenty of sleep. I was also making time to do things I enjoyed. I felt happier and more creative then; I want to feel like that again. But with work, volunteering and family obligations, where do I find the time? “Just do it Mom,” Daisy said. “Go away for a day and only do things for yourself to get used to it. After that, put yourself on the schedule like you did before. We’ll all be fine.” I knew she was right. I also knew my family would benefit if I followed her advice. We are far more effective at helping others when we are at our best, so I’m going to make taking care of myself a top priority again.Spending at least 10 min-
utes a day to write in a gratitude journal will be part of that plan. Every time I get into the daily routine of reminding myself of the things in life I’m thankful for, I become a more focused and positive thinker. And that mindset always helps me realize that I should be as loving and respectful to myself as I am with the people I cherish. It also helps me understand that putting myself first isn’t selfish or bad like I grew up believing it was, it’s actually vital to the way I want to live the second half of my life. By becoming stronger and healthier, I will have much more to give my family, my friends and the world in general. Lori Welbourne is an anecdotal columnist and can be found at LorieWelbourne.com

Glen FLORENCE Sunrise: July 11, 1949 Sunset: July 2, 2015 Glen was hospitalized on June 8, 2015 at Fraser Canyon Hospital and transferred to Abbotsford Regional Hospital the following day. He was diabetic which compromised his recovery and he suffered extensively. During his health crisis he was on life support however improved enough to be transferred to Chilliwack General Hospital. Unfortunately, his health continued to deteriorate and it was his wish to go off all medications and on palliative care at Chilliwack Cascade Hospice. His final wish was to have one last cigarette.
