A committee of the whole meeting was held in council chambers Monday night to discuss the progress of the Station House and to decide on an appropriate course of action for the legacy project. The historical building is currently being upgraded for the use of the The Hope Visitor Centre & Museum Complex and is structurally sound, according to the District. There is potential to engage other stakeholders in the future, and to procure other key community businesses and organizations to make use of the space in the building, once
renovations have been finalized. This will leave the building open to further community engagement, and the possibility for the eligibility of meatier community grants toward the improvement of the interior of the building down the line according to Mayor Wilfried Vicktor. For the time being, council moved that staff prepare and issue a design/build Request For Proposal (RFP) including conceptual drawings to repair the exterior of the Station House building up to the amount of $217,000. “It has been decided that the heating system within the Station House be brought up to service; and the Director of Operations confirm if Kerkhoff Engineering has the capability

in-house to provide conceptual architectural drawings, and if so to provide a cost estimate for said drawings,” said Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) John Fortoloczky. A public consultation will be planned at the Station House sometime in August to inform the community on the latest updates and to gather input on what the public is interested in seeing happen with the future development of the Station House. “I'm glad council is moving forward with the completion of the exterior, so we can make good use of the weather — our top priority is the exterior envelope completion at this time,” said Vicktor.

X. Y. (Xuyun) Zeng is taking over as the new editor of The Hope Standard. He brings a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from the University of Toronto, earning highest honours and a spot on the Dean's List. He most recently worked up in the Bulkley Valley, writing for two newspapers including the Smithers Interior News and Houston Today newspapers, where he wrote stories ranging from sports to town council. Some highlights include covering the Nor-Am and Canadian ski cross nationals in Smithers, the closure of the sole grocery store in Houston and the challenges the Village of Telkwa had while applying for grants to build a new water tower. “In practising my craft in three northern communities, I've learned that towns just 15 minutes from each other can face different challenges and have different perspectives to certain issues, and I'm hoping to get a sense of what Hope is like as soon as possible,” said Zeng.

Funding to help B.C. parents

The B.C. government announced $1.5 million in new funding on Thursday for a “life-changing” program that helps parents deal with kids who have behavioural problems. The “Confident Parents Thriving Children” program is a free series of telephone workshops launched last year by the B.C. division of the Canadian Mental Health Association. So far, it has helped more than 1,000 families across the province, helping primary caregivers of kids ages three to 12 to deal with behaviour issues such as aggression, anti-social behaviour, defiance and substance abuse. “It is very positive. It is clear — it truly is lifechanging,” said Paula Littlejohn, a mother of two from Victoria. She was referred to the program last year by her doctor to get help dealing with her son, William, who has a severe learning disability and ADHD. Littlejohn said getting her son ready for school or bedtime was a huge struggle, but she learned ways to give mild consequences for negative behaviour and support for positive behaviour. “I have a more positive relationship (with my son). William is able to use those skills with me.” The mental health association reported that four out of five parents who took part in the program said they saw an improvement in their child’s behaviour and reported feeling more confident in their parenting and coping skills. Bev Gutray, the CEO for the association’s B.C. arm,

Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux, left, and Paula Littlejohn, announced more funding last Thursday for a B.C.-wide program for kids dealing with aggression and behaviour issues.
said this program is particularly effective because it focuses on early intervention and prevention. “We will see the benefits from this program years from now,” she said. “Parents are committed to the health of their children. They are signing up for the full 14 weeks and that tells us how motivated parents are.” She said she hopes the government will eventually grant the funding every year, especially with 200 families already on the wait list. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said her ministry will monitor the success of the program over time. “It’s one of the things we’re doing in our cross-government mental health strategy,” Cadieux said. “We don’t know yet about next year, but certainly this is a program we believe has great potential.”

LNG to delay A consortium led by Shell Canada with support of the Haisla Nation to build a liquefied natural gas export facility near Kitimat is the latest LNG investment to delay proceeding. LNG Canada announced Monday it would delay indefinitely its decision to proceed beyond 2016. The group started engineering work in 2014, supported by Shell, Korea Gas, Mitsubishi of Japan and PetroChina as venture partners. The latest delay in piping northeast B.C. gas to the coast for export is a blow to the Peace region, where exports to the U.S. have been replaced by new domestic sources of gas. Oil production increases in the Middle East have driven down the world price of oil, taking gas with it as producers multiply. LNG Canada CEO Andy Calitz said the partnership remains a "promising opportunity." and will continue site preparation. It has "important commercial and engineering contracts in place to build the project" and an agreement with TransCanada to construct pipelines to the B.C. Coast. When the joint venture was announced in 2014, Calitz said there are three key factors in deciding whether to commit to the Kitimat project. They are shifts in the gas price in Asia, the supply and cost of labour to build the plant and pipelines, and construction of gas pipelines.

YOUR VACCINATION CENTRE Shingles is a painful viral condition that affects people who have had chickenpox in their youth. Evidently, if you are over 40, chances are pretty good you have had chickenpox or were exposed to it. There is a shingles vaccine that can reduce your chances of getting shingles by half. Talk to your doctor. Our pharmacists also have good information about this vaccine. Are you protecting your eyes as well as your skin this summer? The ultraviolet radiation that affects your skin can affect your eyes as well. As with skin exposure, the
effects are cumulative and can cause problems like cataracts. Protect your eyes with sun glasses that block 99% of both UV-A and UV-B rays. Read the labels when buying sunglasses. It could save your sight. The importance of eating a good breakfast every day can’t be stressed enough and it’s particularly important for schoolaged children. It’s been proven that children perform better in school if they start the day with a good breakfast. Recognizing this, many schools have a Breakfast for Learning program to ensure
kids eat something before school starts. Many don’t get this at home. That ¿ne print on non-prescription medication contains valuable safety and dosing information. Often the tiny print is ignored because it’s so small but it should be heeded. Before you buy, talk about it to a pharmacist. We can determine whether the medication is right for your medical condition and is compatible with the medications you are already taking. We are happy to share our drug knowledge with you.

Concerts in the Park (CITP) started off with a bang on Saturday, July 9 at Memorial Park, featuring the electric stylings of Gerald Charlie & The Black Owl Blues Band. Gerald Charlie has been a staple of blues music in the Fraser Valley for many years. A favourite of Hope & District Arts Council's Concerts in The Park series, Gerald Charlie, returned to kick off the season. The Hope & District Arts Council (HDAC) is proud to present this free event series from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday of the summer, ending with a two day festival on Aug 20 and 21, from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Concerts in the Park brings a wide range of musicians to the bandstand at the northwest corner of the park. From blues to rock to jazz to folk to pop music, there is something for everyone at this family-friendly, community event. Concerts in the Park began in 2006, and has featured both local musicians/bands, as well as those from the Lower Mainland and even as far away as Australia. This year HDAC has sought out a mix of performers from the Hope region and the Lower Mainland to bring something new to the event and to present a wider range of music that appeals to as broad an audience as possible. This event was made possible through the generous support of BC Gaming, District of Hope, various local businesses and the volunteers who have donated their time to organize, promote, and produce the event.

Opinion
Concerns remain with assisted suicide On June 17, Canada’s Parliament passed Bill C-14, the new law to regulate assisted suicide and euthanasia in Canada. This has been a very difficult, complex, and emotional experience for all Parliamentarians and Canadians. I’d like to provide you with a brief history on the process and what will happen now. On Feb. 6, 2015, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that it will be legal to assist an individual with suicide and euthanasia under strict conditions. The SCC instructed Parliament to create legislation by June 2016 that included safeguards, within a strict enforcement regime that would permit a competent adult, who is suffering from a “grievous and irremediable medical condition,” to receive assistance from a physician to end their life. In January, I was appointed to the Special Joint Committee on Physician-Assisted Dying. The committee was tasked with consulting Canadians and providing recommendations for new legislation. I met with many LangleyAldergrove residents, hosted town hall meetings and travelled to consult with Canadians. Unfortunately, the committee report fell far short of what was necessary to protect vulnerable Canadians and the Charter-protected conscience rights of health professionals. I was one of the MPs who wrote a dissenting report that raised numerous concerns and proposed meaningful safeguards. Our dissenting report received broad support from Canadians. The government then introduced Bill C-14, which addressed some concerns, trying to reach a balance between safeguards and autonomy. I was again part of the legislative process, where amendments were proposed. Few amendments were accepted in the House of Commons and the Senate. An important safeguard that was maintained in C-14 is that an individual who requests as-
Thursday, July 14, 2016 The Hope Standard
Photo corner
sisted suicide or euthanasia must be in a condition of health where “natural death has become reasonably foreseeable.” This safeguard in C-14 has the objective “to recognize the significant and continuing public health issue of suicide, to guard against death being seen as a solution to all forms of suffering, and to counter negative perceptions about the quality of life of persons who are elderly, ill, or disabled.” C-14 has now become the law in Canada. It requires that additional studies be done on access to assisted suicide and euthanasia through advance directives, for minors, and for those with a mental illness. One of the biggest concerns remains: C-14 requires that an individual requesting assisted suicide or euthanasia must be informed of health care options that would help alleviate their suffering, including palliative care. Unfortunately, C-14 fails to require that palliative care is provided to any person that needs and requests it. Palliative care is presently not available to 70 to 83 per cent of Canadians that need it. Canada desperately needs to create a national palliative care strategy and for palliative care to become a core health care service in Canada. C-14 fails to protect the conscience rights of Canadian health care professionals or institutions. Seventy per cent of Canadian physicians have indicated they do not want to provide assisted suicide. Canada already has a critical shortage of physicians and health care providers. As a result, I have introduced Bill C-268 to protect the conscience rights of all health care professions against being forced to participate in assisted suicide. The debate on C-268 will begin in the Fall 2017 session of Parliament. SUBMITTED PHOTO

The great campground crisis explained B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher Wealthy foreigners snapping up the best properties at premium prices, and then in some cases leaving them vacant except for prime times. Occupancy permits trading on classified websites, even rumours of resellers working the passing traffic like rock concert scalpers. The B.C. Liberal government maintains the problem is primarily a lack of supply, and vows to build more. It’s B.C.’s other real estate crisis, campsite spaces. And mostly it is a summer-time media invention. An urban radio station poll last week asked if there is something wrong with BC Parks’ online campsite reservation service, and
more than 80 per cent of participants agreed there was. They’re likely misinformed about what is wrong, especially if they’re going by the exaggerated or flat-out false information they’ve heard as this issue was inflated into a national story. It got going just before the Canada Day long weekend, when popular campsites are always booked solid. Reports claimed European tourists were buying package tours that included BC Parks campground reservations, for which they were paying twice the selling price. In our 24-hour, social media gossip swamp, this kind of thing gets out of hand quickly. A Salmon Arm company, Canadian Camping Adventures, was named in news reports as working with European travel agencies, buying reserved camp spots for $18 to $38 a night

and reselling them for $70. NDP and Green Party politicians jumped on the bandwagon, shocked that the people’s parks would be exploited like this. One problem: they’re not. The Salmon Arm couple who built the tour business said the $70 figure comes from adding up all the hotel rooms, camp bookings and activities on the route and dividing by the number of days. The tours are designed around activities and private RV camping facilities, with BC Parks campgrounds often midweek stops along the way. The business was besieged by threatening phone and email messages, and had to take its Facebook page down after it was inundated with abuse. The environment ministry pulled together its latest statistics on use of the BC Parks online reservation system. Commercial tour

operators account for less than one per cent of bookings, and many of their customers are from within B.C. In fact, three quarters of all provincial campground reservations are from British Columbians, 14 per cent are Albertans, 2.8 per cent are from elsewhere in Canada and 3.6 per cent are from the U.S. The entire continent of Europe accounts for 6.6 per cent of bookings. Considering that the B.C. government spends gobs of money on its “Super, Natural B.C.” ad campaign to market our great wilderness to the world, perhaps opposition critics could reacquaint themselves with reality before leaping for cheap media hits. The reservation system shows plenty of spaces, even at the most popular BC Parks campsites. Weekends are scarcer, and holidays like the upcoming B.C. Day week-

end are snapped up as soon as the 90-day window for booking campgrounds comes around. One trick used by savvy B.C. campers when a long weekend approaches is to book a maximum two-week stay starting on their first day of eligibility, 90 days away. The second week stretches beyond the limit to the high-demand week that is not yet available for booking. Then they cancel the first week, get a refund for it, and hold onto the coveted long weekend spot. Environment Minister Mary Polak says creating more campsites in B.C. parks is the ultimate answer. Of course that will attract protests about paving paradise to put up a parking lot. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Letters Mayor refutes Station House cost allegations is taken and a decision is arrived at it is my duty to make sure that the directions contained within that motion are carried out. My personal opinion at that point is irrelevant, as a collective decision has been arrived at and must be carried out. Important additional points of clarification include: • Council does not have funds to hire an architect to the amount of $100,000110,000 • The parking lot and exit road issue has been discussed at the council table and a great deal of this work will be done by communi-
ty-minded volunteers with contributed equipment. -The Ministry of Transportation and Highways has been very cooperative and forthright in their dealings with us and our administrator has worked hard to make sure that all potential highway expansion or realignment issues will not jeopardize the future use of the site. • Council started this project on a shoestring budget and had adopted a phased approach for completion of the Station House project. The emergence of a few unexpected challenges and the presence of a Rural Dividends Grant which
council was contemplating applying for caused the majority of District council to pause the project for further discussion. It is important to note that a grant application was completed by administration as directed by council but the majority of council felt that the amount was outside of their comfort zone to complete the project in this way and it was not submitted for this reason. • The Kinder Morgan monies of $500,000 have been discussed but I have always made sure that I as Mayor have mentioned that the monies will only be received if the pipeline project goes ahead. The monies

Green Party is the real underdog If there ever was a political organization in Canada’s history that was totally dedicated to its cause, it is the Green Party. The Greens are not only David versus Goliath, but they face their enemies on an uphill slope. The Green movement began in 1968 right here in British Columbia, and has grown into a worldwide political organization, that has just elected its first government in Austria. It also has strong political support in Germany, the U.K., and has elected members in Canada federally, and provincially in Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and B.C. The Green Party bases its political agenda on
six key principles, social justice, participatory democracy, ecological wisdom, respect for diversity, non-violence, and sustainability. It’s because of these six principles that separates the Greens from every other political party in the world. Not only do the Greens take their battle to Goliath on uneven ground, but they do it with one hand tied behind their backs. Unlike the two main B.C. parties, the Greens do not accept political donations from corporations or trade unions. For example, the Clark government(Liberals) accepts approximately $10 million a year from corporations, the NDP about $4 million from unions, while the

Greens who only accept donations from grassroot individuals trail the pack at about $400,000 per year. Not only are the Greens inhibited by lack of financial parity with the other parties, they are also placed on a lower priority by mainstream media, and are not given an equal footing in their uphill, one handed battle, against the Goliath Parties of Canadian democracy. It’s frustrating for Greens, who not only don’t have the financial moxie to compete with the behemoths, but are also discredited by them and the media, as an one issue party. This critique of the Green’s is entirely off base, and is only an attempt to discredit them. In reality the Greens, who consider themselves as fiscal conservatives, have an entire policy platform (Vision Green) that is constantly raided by the mainstream parties. But there is one other
thing about Greens that make them stand out and above the crowd, their unrelenting determination. Because, unlike their counterparts, they are anything but self-centred, and are focused on future generations. In fact, because they realize their chance of financial reward is minimal, you will never find a Green candidate that is in it for the money. In fact, most of the Green candidates that run for office, would happily take a considerable pay cut from their career jobs, just to preserve the Earth, if they ever got elected. To be a Green candidate your skin needs to be thicker, and your message has to be unrelenting. As the Greens are not given the same recognition as the other Party’s, whose favour is sought out by mainstream media for their advertising contracts. But, the biggest challenge, as well as oppor-
tunity for the Green Party, is the politically unengaged electorate, who’s lackadaisical attitude towards our Westminster democracy is taken advantage of by the mainstream political parties, who actively seek to keep them suppressed. In fact, it’s when this block of voters become engaged, is when the Greens have had their greatest success. So the next time you get an invitation to a Green rally, meeting, or protest, ask yourselves why are these people doing this? I can guarantee you it’s not for the money, not for the recognition, but probably for an issue that’s near and dear to them, and critical for the planet. An issue at the end of the day, if concluded in their favour, will probably make everyone’s day brighter, and Canada, and the world a better place to live. Art Green

In response to a letter in the Letters page in your June 30 paper written by Ms. Kimberly Hogg, I wish to set the record straight on a number of topics. First it is important to note that a decision of council is a majority vote. The Mayor’s role is to facilitate discussion of our six-person council, provide his own feedback and add to the discussion, get a motion on the floor of the council table and see that clear direction to our administration staff is given by a majority vote. Individual opinions of Mayor and council are always welcomed during the discussion but once a vote

Fundraising for a bus to improve seniors’ lives Erin Knutson Hope Standard
The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation and the Auxiliary of the Fraser Canyon Hospital and Fraser Hope Lodge are raising funds to go toward a bus replacement for the Adult Treatment program at Fraser Hope Lodge and only require $12,000 to reach their goal, out of a total of $100,000. The bus is a lifeline for clients, that would otherwise not have the
opportunity, or the same accessibility to go on outings for personal or therapeutic reasons. “The impact is profound, and I see it in the faces and spirits of the residents that go each week — they are filled with anticipation before they go, and when they come back they are flushed with excitement over what they saw, ate, heard, experienced — they just come back so energized, and with stories to tell, and I hear their laughter and voic-
es as they go by my office,” said Sylta Hellner. The Adult Day Program operates Monday to Friday and supports older adults in their desire to remain in the community. The services they provide include health and personal care, as well as therapeutic activities. “We are very excited to be working with the auxiliary on raising the funds for this much needed bus that will be used for the ADP at Fraser Canyon Lodge,” said

It gets me outta here, and on the road — I love being on the road, just the driving itself. I used to do a
lot of driving, but then I had to give it up,” said Fraser Hope Lodge Resident Nick Yadernuk. “I just love the sensation of being on the road, the bump of the wheels under me, and all the beauty of the world out the windows — we live in such a beautiful place, don't you think?”

What is passion? Special to The Standard
Passion has been a word in the English lexicon for many years. Originally it was a word associated with suffering, as in the Passion of the Christ; a suffering that passes all human understanding. He chose to suffer for humankind. Today the word is more associated with an undertaking that brings great joy and satisfaction. When we think of someone who is engaged in their passion we think of a person who is enthusiastic and committed to the activities that give them great satisfaction. Sadly the word has also been hijacked by marketers. Now companies are passionate about everything from furniture to flooring. I know that there are people who are passionate about furniture. But I don’t think they work at warehouse big-box companies. I have a friend who makes one-off pieces, by hand. From selecting the woods, to designing the product, to finishing it, my friend is excited about what he is creating. Passion goes further than a career. It becomes an aspect of the whole person. It becomes more than what you do. It becomes part of who you are. Working as a case manager for the past 20 years I have seen thousands of clients. It is amazing how people become engaged with their passion. With this passion they are able to achieve their personal goals. They are excited and full of life. Their passion becomes the engine to drive the vehicle of their career. Passion is not always about a specific career or vocation. It can also be about the way you do things. A person may work in a large Information Technology organization but their real passion is about how they collaborate with others. The it interests them but what really excites them is watching an idea grow and blossom through the cooperation of colleagues bringing their specialties to the team. Passion is also something that can live outside your employment. There are people fighting for social rights and freedoms. There are people dedicated to maintain the environment of saving creatures or opposing the consumption of meat. These people are driven to make the world a bet-
ter place. They aren’t necessarily interested in that issue as an occupation because they can give their energy to it when they not at work. This could be true of most
any pursuit whether for justice or recreation, people can find themselves deeply engaged in something they love doing with little need to make a living at it. However,
there are some in society who not only get to do what they love but they also get paid handsomely to do it. Actors are passionate about their work. When we think of film
stars, we don’t think of them as doing a job. But they get paid, very well, to carry out a task. For those who have made it to the silver screen, most have achieved an amazing
dream. Many seek difficult roles and struggle to create their character. That is hard work. This is no different in most any field. People who are passionate about
their work are constantly trying to deepen their knowledge or push their body to the limits. They are excited about trying to meet the next challenge.

Investing wisely in your portfolio Canadians have many options when it comes to managing their investment portfolios. Most opt for full-service investments firms while others choose discount brokerages or robo advisor services. Those choosing to go it alone should make sure they fully understand their options before proceeding. I recently received an email from an elderly gentleman who was very concerned about his situation. He’d been working with another advisor but was so disappointed with the quality of advice that he pulled his portfolio and decided to fly solo. Investing quickly became his full time job and, where he was once enjoying his retirement, he was instead burdened with the task of monitoring his investments and sifting through some rather misleading information. In his quest for knowledge, he read articles on various websites and subscribed to a number of newsletter writers. Unfortunately, many of these sources are obscure day traders, whose intentions appear to be more about accumulating
kerages are not all the same and these knowledgeable investors are better able to assess the choices. The full service model also suits sophisticated investors and tends to attract those who don’t have time to manage their portfolios. Their time is money better spent elsewhere. Time is just as important for investors who prefer to spend it in activities that enhance their quality of life. Both groups want the freedom of personal guidance accompanied by professional research, analysis and reporting. They also want those things that discount houses cut, in order to offer lower fees, but which directly affect financial health - tax and estate planning, education funding, insurance for personal and business goals, and new issue opportunities. Deciding to change the way you invest should receive the same scrutiny as an investment purchase. Whatever you decide, it must be the right move. In these markets, it’s important to remain updated and know where you stand.
subscription fees than providing valuable or correct information. As a result of being influenced by these subscription sites, this man’s entire investing outlook changed. A once conservative investor, he ventured into very risky territory, investing in untested futures strategies and various venture situations. And he saw his portfolio drop further. Using a discount brokerage is analogous to any do-ityourself undertaking; some people have the aptitude, skills and knowledge while others do not. The key question to consider is whether it’s the right move for you, and it’s important to examine all aspects of the issue. For sophisticated investors with the time and energy required to manage their portfolios, a discount brokerage might make sense. These individuals are knowledgeable, confident in their skills, and able to separate the wheat from the chaff in analyzing data. They know their comfort zone of risk and have the discipline to stay within it. Discount bro-

tour is the safety briefing. Once the raft is on the river, she feels very safe. “There’s a rope you have to hang onto,” she said. “My son sits on one side, my son-in-law on the other, and they’ve got their hands in my pockets to make sure I don’t fall over. I sit at the back of the raft because it’s a lot rougher in the front.” In all her years rafting, she says, only one person has fallen in. She was quickly rescued. Fandrich says the perception of risk is a big part of the thrill. “You’re on powerful moving water, and you have no control over the river. It’s exciting,” he said. “And there is an element of risk. But it’s a very very safe activity. We’ve taken well over a quarter of a million people down the river, and we’ve never had a serious injury.” For Hazel and her family, it’s a blast. “It’s exciting! It’s lots of fun, you get soaking wet,” Hazel said. “The scenery’s lovely, and we’ve seen eagles, an otter, a bear, and fish – lots of fish.” At the end of each run, Hazel is the toast of her rafting party – family, friends, and even strangers.

History was made last weekend when daring Hazel Amos, at 94, achieved the record as the oldest person to ever raft the Thompson. Just, who is this daredevil, one might ask? The 94-year-old from Surrey, B.C. laughs at the notion, even though she became the oldest person ever to run the Thompson River with Kumsheen Rafting Resort. She’s done it many times before, so she knew what she was getting into. “Oh, you’re quite safe,” she said. “You just have to hang on.” Hazel’s son Bob and daughter Margaret took a Kumsheen rafting trip in 1974, and in subsequent years they recruited Hazel to come along with them. They have been back about 20 times since. In 2012, Bob and Margaret suggested they should all take a river run to celebrate Hazel’s 90th birthday. They had no trouble convincing Hazel. Bernie Fandrich remembers the 90th birthday trip well. He is the founder of Kumsheen, and the Fandrich family still owns and operates the resort, located northeast of Vancouver near Lytton. He has guided many of Hazel’s trips over the years. “Hazel was sure she was the oldest person we’ve guided down the river,” he said. “We told her no, we’ve had a 93-year-old on one of our trips.” Hazel clearly took that as a challenge. They haven’t missed a year since then, and this summer Hazel set the record. “Margaret has said to me, we don’t have to go every year, because we know we’re going when I’m 94,” she said. “I told her if she didn’t want to drive me, I’d take the bus.” She hasn’t had to travel alone. They bring a group of family and friends with them, and one year they had 17 people in their party. As for danger, Hazel says the scariest part of the

Sports Mountain Centre clears the road for easier hikes
SUBMITTED PHOTO
The Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning is renovating the access road and trails leading to the summits of Mount Hope and Wells Peak. Hikers can now drive eight kilometres up the forest service road, taking six km off their hikes. Program director Kelly Pearce advises that it is not suitable for two-wheel-drive vehicles. The Hope Standard
Thanks to an excavator operator and a crew of volunteer brush-clearers, the route to two popular alpine hikes has been made a lot safer and simpler. The project, led by the Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning, has shaved three kilometres — each way — off the hikes to the summits of Mount Wells and Mount Hope. Both peaks are accessed via the forest service road, which starts just east of the junction of Highways 3 and 5. “The road bed was really eroded,” said Kelly Pearce, program director of Hope Mountain Centre. “There were some big, nasty boulders and some trees down — as well as saplings in the road bed, which had been cut back by a crew of eight volunteers a couple of weeks earlier.” Traditionally, hikers could drive eight km up the road before parking at a landing and heading onto the trails. “There was a really bad section at kilometre 5, so that would mean hiking an extra three kilometres each way on an ugly logging road,” said Pearce. “That would make it a
lot less likely to get hiked. “Mount Hope is such an iconic peak, it seemed almost immoral to not be able to hike it. These are two important trails.” Keith Lasser, of Tri-West Contracting used an excavator with a variety of bucket styles and put a day and a half of work into the road renovation, aided by a few volunteers. The Cascade Lower Canyon Community Forest, a three-way partnership of Yale First Nation, the District of Hope and the Fraser Valley Regional District, provided the project funding, said Pearce. “Keith improved six kilometres of road and rebuilt the water bars from kilometre 1 to 6, so water won’t run down the road,” added Pearce. “There used to be one log bridge but now you can basically drive through the creek.” He stressed that it’s strictly a fourwheel-drive road, though ATVs and motorcycles could also make it through. “Two-wheel-drives could do damage, spinning their tires and tearing up the road,” he said. Drivers with wide or shiny vehicles may want to wait a while, to give volunteers time to clip back the scratchy alder and willow branches
that crowd in from the sides in some sections. If you’ve got a “bush buggy” the road is yours, starting now. “From the trailhead, Mount Hope is four kilometres, one way, with a 670-metre elevation gain,” said Pearce. For a person of average physical fitness, set aside six hours for a day hike. “Wells Peak is two-and-a-half kilometres one way, with a 680-metre elevation gain,” he said. “Both have similarly spectacular views, though Mount Hope has the view of Hope. “Mount Hope is a fairly welldefined trail, while Wells Peak is a scramble up an open scree slope to the peak. You can hike them right into October, depending on where the snow line lies. “People can definitely camp overnight,” added Pearce. “There are two tarns (alpine ponds) on Mount Hope that you can filter water from. “In a nice weather window, it’s an amazing thing to see the sun set and rise from the top of Mount Hope,” said Pearce, who has camped there, tentless. “And you know, Hope looks really beautiful at night — like a glittering jewel.”

Chapman, William James Lloyd 1945-2016

His wishes were that his Mother and three of his brothers, Todd, Deano and Vern, who cared while he battled cancer, and all his musician family & great friends attend the celebration of his life, which was held June 25, 2016 at the Friendship House - Agassiz, BC. Billy requested a jam session for all to enjoy. His ashes were scattered at his former house in Ruby Creek, also at the gate into SKawahlook #1 and the remainder of his ashes were scattered at his grand mother Ritchie’s grave in Clearwater. All his wishes have been taken care of July 8, 2016. Will miss our music practices. I miss you. (a mother should never live longer than her children) Love Mom
