Program manager Naydeen Spencer talks about the services Trails Crossing Friendship Centre will provide at the grand opening last Thursday.

Friendship centre has new location Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

Trails Crossing Friendship Centre now has an office in Hope.

The centre officially opened its new location on Wallace Street last Thursday with an open house celebration.

“It’s a huge feeling of accomplishment,” said centre president Bonnie Milward. “It’s fantastic to be able to be more visible and accessible for community members.”

Trails Crossing is a non-profit organization that provides support and resources to the Aboriginal and Metis community and their families

Over the years, members have participated in numerous community events, including National Aboriginal Day in Memorial Park.

A new vendor’s market is in the works for downtown Hope.

The Hope Mountain Market committee is currently trying to organize a market in Memorial Park every Saturday from June to September.

“I think so many peo-

“Basically the goal is to give local business people somewhere they can sell their products in a casual outdoor setting.

The juried market will feature a variety of goods from local artisans, crafters, farmers, and home-based businesses. Brown said the committee will select 15-20 vendors per market.

The Hope & District Chamber of Commerce identified a farmer’s market as a priority last October and Stephanie Hooker from Free Rein Associates spent several months researching different options before the committee was formed.

Several items have been stolen from a storage container at Fraser Canyon Hospital.

Hope RCMP believe the theft of a Mighty Quip trash/water pump, Mighty Quip portable generator, Mitsubishi portable generator, and Mighty Quip diesel generator occurred sometime between midnight and 3 p.m. on April 18. The estimated value of the items is $10,000.

“This was a fairly significant theft and we are hoping that someone has information that can lead us to the suspect or suspects in this case,” said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck.

KERRIE-ANN SCHOENIT / THE STANDARD

Sasquatch peeks out from behind a tree at the Yale Historic Site, where he will be visiting from May 12 to Sept. 30 for an exhibit.

Bigfoot. Yeti. Sasquatch.

This hairy ape-like man is known by many names around the world and is a local legend in the Fraser Canyon. Yale Historic Site examines the mystery in a new exhibit running May 12 to Sept. 30.

“It’s open to interpretation,” said site supervisor Deb Zervini. “It is B.C. folklore. People know, whether they believe it or not, that it is a local legend and people just have fun with it.”

The exhibit by Christopher L. Murphy consists of plaster casts of footprints, hair samples, models, sculptures and replicas, artwork, detailed charts and scientific posters.

“It’s something different and unique,” said Zervini. “We like to bring new things every year to keep people interested.”

Murphy will be exhibiting his collection in conjunction with the debut of his new book Sasquatch in British Columbia: A Chronology of Incidents and Important Events, which was written with local sasquatch researcher Thomas Steenburg. Both authors will be in attendance on Saturday to provide short talks along with David Hancock of Hancock House Publishers.

The exhibit opens at noon and admission is by donation on May 12. There will be a fundraiser barbecue for the Yale and District Historical Society, sasquatch T-shirts on sale by Sasquatch Sign Co., and an appearance by Bigfoot.

Yale Historic Site is also launching Sasquatch Kids Fan Club this weekend, which provides children with a photo and free admission to the site for the rest of the season with the purchase of a regular entrance ticket. Children will also be entered to win prizes throughout the season.

B.C. pushes school calendar change Tom Fletcher Black Press

School districts will be able to determine their own calendar and offer online classes to students in any grade under recently presented amendments to the School Act. Education Minister George Abbott said the changes are designed to increase flexibility for schools and students.

The ministry will continue to require a minimum number of instructional hours, but school boards will be able to design their own calendars.

Abbott said the standard school calendar is a relic of an agrarian society where children did farm work in summer. A twomonth summer break can result in setbacks for student learning, especially those who are struggling to keep up,

he said.

Abbott cited Kanaka Creek elementary school in Maple Ridge, which uses a modified calendar with shorter breaks through the year instead of the standard S e p t e m b e r - t o - Ju n e model. That has been popular with students, parents and teachers, and academic results have been encouraging, Abbott said.

“What we now have is a pretty strong case that children learn better when they don’t have a long summer break, that a shorter period when they’re away from school is better,” Abbott said.

Online courses are currently only allowed for grades nine and up. The amendments allow the option for any course in elementary or middle school.

Abbott said that change is not designed to encourage home

schooling, but rather to offer options to students that aren’t available in smaller schools.

Online learning has taken off in B.C., from

5,000 students using it five years ago to about 30,000 today, he said.

School districts will have to holds consultations with the

public and staff before changing the school calendar, and the ministry has to approve changes before they can take effect.

Save time, save money.

The B.C. government is attempting to restore limits on third-party election spending that were struck down by a judge before the 2009 vote.

Attorney General Shirley Bond has introduced amendments that would put limits on spending by unions, business groups and other non-party advertisers in the 40 days before the official start of an election campaign. A previous 60-day limit was challenged by seven public sector unions, led by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, and rejected by a B.C. Supreme Court judge as an unjustified restriction on freedom of speech.

Premier Christy Clark said some spending limit on the pre-campaign period is justified, since the province went to scheduled elections in 2005. Current rules restrict party and non-party spending

during a formal 28-day election campaign, but contain no limits on spending before that period.

The government intends to submit the proposed 40-day restriction to the B.C. Supreme Court before it takes effect. If a judge approves, the new restrictions would apply for the election set for May 2013.

NDP justice critic Leonard Krog said the latest effort will likely be challenged again and rejected again. If the B.C. Liberals want to reform election spending, they should ban corporate and union donations to political parties as the NDP and B.C. Conservative parties have advocated, Krog said.

In 2008, the B.C. Liberal government passed amendments to the B.C. Elections Act limiting spending by non-party advocacy groups to no more than $150,000 in the 60 days before the official 28day election campaign. Registered political parties were restricted to spending $2.2 million during that time.

Workshop about chronic conditions The physiotherapy department at Fraser Canyon Hospital has been quietly running a Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions workshop for adults in Hope.

This free six-week program launched in June 2011 and is designed to help participants who live with ongoing health conditions such as arthritis, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, stroke, or any other chronic health problem take control of their health.

Facilitated by a rehab assistant and a volunteer from the community, the workshop teaches strategies to control pain, deal with fatigue and frustration, get more active, handle stress and eat well to live well. Group members take part in goal setting and problem solv-

ing each week, and all participants receive a copy of the book Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions to take home.

“It was a very comprehensive course covering all aspects of daily living for those individuals with chronic health conditions,” said J’nia Fowler, a Hope resident who recently attended the workshop.

“The group format was both comfortable and fun. I recommend it to everyone who may be in need of healthy strategies to manage their conditions and lives.”

Participants have reported greater self-confidence, more energy, less pain and fatigue, and better communication with their families and physicians. Self-management programs are available at no cost

province-wide through the University of Victoria. In addition, an online version allows people in remote areas to access the program.

UVic also provides free training to become a workshop leader.

Peer leaders often have a close understanding of the challenges involved, either through managing their own chronic condition or as a caregiver for a loved one.

The next workshop in Hope starts on May 22 and runs for six weeks from 12:30-3 p.m. Training for peer leaders will be offered May 24, 25, 31 and June 1 at Fraser Canyon Hospital.

Salmon inquiry weighs risk

Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Cohen Inquiry into the Fraser River’s troubled sockeye salmon stocks is shifting gears to consider last-minute arguments about controversial proposed reforms to the federal Fisheries Act. Participants at the inquiry have been given until May 14 to table their submissions on the impact of the changes that critics say will gut the law that protects fish habitat.

“What commission counsel has done is said if something wasn’t in your final submissions that this new bill impacts, you’re welcome to make another submission and we’ll look at those,” inquiry spokesperson Carla Shore said.

The Conservative government’s budget implementation bill includes the contentious amendments to the Fisheries Act. If passed, the clause protecting fish habitat by banning “harmful alteration, disruption and destruction” of fish habitat will be removed and replaced with one that outlaws “serious harm” to stocks fished by commercial, recreational or aboriginal users. Federal officials have described it as a more practical approach that focuses more on real threats

to productive fisheries and less on blanket protection of riparian ecosystems.

Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr, who chairs a coalition of conservation groups with standing at the inquiry, said he and other participants will definitely file their concerns.

“It raises the threshold for what is considered to be serious harm to fish,” he said. “Without a doubt we all think this really does strike at the heart of what Cohen should be considering. It has huge implications to our ability to protect salmon.”

Orr said he’s concerned the changes could mean that penalties would only be triggered if fish are killed or there is permanent harm to habitat.

Justice Bruce Cohen wrapped up commission hearings in late December and had been preparing his findings on how to reverse a long-term decline of sockeye, although a recent extension now gives him until the end of September to deliver them.

Ottawa says the changes won’t alter the ban on the dumping of chemicals or other dangerous pollutants into any water way.

Officials also say there are provisions to establish ecologically sensitive areas where higher levels of protection can be required.

Opinion

What’s in a name?

Marc Dalton, Maple Ridge-Mission MLA, thinks his party, the B.C. Liberals, should change its name.

He says the name – in place since the provincial Liberals formed in 1991 (and the one voters have elected to govern three consecutive terms) – is confusing to some centre-right voters, now that the B.C. Conservatives have surged to solid third-party status.

He says those who are federal Conservatives will have a hard time voting B.C. Liberal next time.

Last month, the NDP won two B.C. byelections, in ChilliwackHope and Port Moody-Coquitlam. The Liberals came second in both, the Conservatives third.

The Liberals fear more vote splitting in the May 2013 provincial election. But changing the party’s name won’t prevent that. Doing so would seem even more confusing to voters, which may be the point.

It’s easy to see why the Liberals would want to rebrand the party, distance itself from past scandals and failures, and try to reverse falling popularity. But whatever the Liberals come up with – the B.C. Alliance Party is being floated about – it’s still the same cast of characters who brought you the B.C. Rail and HST fiascoes. Whether or not Kevin Falcon and other cabinet ministers run again isn’t going to change that. And changing the party’s name, to something more progressive, won’t erase the past, or fool many.

B.C. doesn’t need a new centre-right party – it already has two.

The B.C. Conservatives beat the Liberals to the punch. Trying to decide between the two is what’s confusing.

Are the Liberals about families or business? A tiger can’t change its stripes. Changing the party’s name is just painting over them.

As long as the B.C. Conservatives are around, the right will be split. And that’s what the NDP is counting on.

Oil tanker debate sinks to a new low B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The B.C. NDP has ramped up its opposition to the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline.

First the party formalized objections already expressed by NDP MLAs who have spoken at hearings held by the federal review panel along the B.C. coast. Leader Adrian Dix sent an 11-page letter to the panel, then launched an attack on the B.C. Liberal government in the legislature that emphasized the letter’s top objection.

Why doesn’t Premier Christy Clark stand up to Ottawa and protest the abandonment of the long-standing “moratorium and exclusion zone” on oil tankers off B.C.’s north coast, Dix and NDP energy critic Rob Fleming demanded.

Clark’s answer was the same

OFFICE HOURS Mon.-Wed. & Fri. 9 a.m. - 5 p.m.

one given for many years by federal and provincial governments. The 1972 federal “moratorium” was directed at offshore oil drilling, not tankers bound for B.C. A separate Canada-U.S. agreement in 1998 calls for U.S. tankers to avoid B.C.’s Inside Passage as they transport Alaska crude oil to refineries in Washington state and further south.

I asked Fleming for documentation that shows tankers are banned from B.C.’s north coast. He said it is “fragmented,” which means he doesn’t have any. Nor does the NDP’s heavily footnoted letter to the federal panel offer any source for this assertion.

This argument flared up in 2006 after Methanex Corp. shut down its Kitimat methanol plant.

Instead of shipping methanol out, a practice that was never questioned, it started bringing tankers into the Kitimat port loaded with a liquid natural gas by-product called condensate.

From there it is sent by rail to Alberta to dilute oil sands crude.

This process led to Enbridge’s proposed double pipeline that would send condensate east and diluted crude west.

The Dogwood Initiative, one

There are legitimate arguments against the Northern Gateway proposal. This hippyfantasy tanker moratorium isn’t one of them. of the multiple U.S.-funded groups that now dominate B.C.’s environmental lobby, rose to protest these early condensate shipments, saying they violate a moratorium on tankers. Wrong, said Don Rodden, superintendent of environmental response for the Canadian Coast Guard

Pacific Region. The 1972 moratorium “wouldn’t apply to vessels coming into Canadian ports like Kitimat,” Rodden told the Globe and Mail at the time.

The Coast Guard would be the agency legally required to enforce such a tanker ban, if one existed.

As I’ve mentioned before, there are legitimate arguments against the Northern Gateway proposal. This hippy-fantasy tanker moratorium isn’t one of them.

Then there is the hypocrisy and pro-U.S. bias that is so clearly evident in the manipulated B.C. debate.

The Northern Gateway pipeline would generate as many as 350 tanker trips each year to and from Kitimat. More than twice that many tankers already sail each year through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, past the Gulf and San Juan Islands.

Many are heading to refinery complexes at March Point and Cherry Point in Washington.

These supertankers can be seen sailing past Victoria most days.

Strangely, this U.S. crude traffic excites no protests.

Some of the smaller tankers come in to fill up from the TransMountain pipeline in Burnaby, whose operator is preparing a bid for expansion. This attracts protests organized by people opposed to Alberta “tar sands” oil.

Where do urban protesters think we get the gasoline and diesel fuel sold at B.C. filling stations? Do they think it’s all made at the little Chevron refinery in Burnaby, the last remnant of refining capacity in southern B.C.?

We could use a serious debate about how B.C. handles petroleum. Instead, we see factually inaccurate claims promoted by U.S. interests to attack Canadian crude only.

Our opposition politicians and media mostly just go along for the ride. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Letters

Voice from ‘decade of darkness’ Re: Harper reckless with tax dollars, Letters (April 25) I am writing to respond to the recent letter to the editor from Liberal MP John McKay regarding Canada’s military equipment purchases.

The last thing any Liberal MP has any credibility on is military procurement.

The Chretien-Martin governments, of which John McKay was a member, gave us used submarines that weren’t seaworthy, left us without a replacement

for our maritime helicopters and had our Canadian Forces rely on Russian rental aircraft and crews to move our equipment and personnel. They even sent our troops into a war zone in the desert of Afghanistan in forest green fatigues. It is no wonder that former chief of defence staff Gen. Rick Hillier has referred to the time that the Liberals were in office as the “decade of darkness” for our military.

By abandoning the established pro-

curement process that would have given our military the equipment they needed, John McKay’s Liberal Party put lives at risk and cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.

In spite of Liberal and NDP opposition, our Conservative government will continue standing up for our men and women in uniform. We will ensure that they have the equipment they need to do the job that we ask of them and that will give them the best chance of

returning home safely to their families.

We will also make sure that we follow the recommendations of the auditor general when we do so.

The men and women who put their lives in harm’s way deserve the support of Canadians, and their government.

As long as there is a Conservative government in Ottawa, they can be assured they will have it.

Mark Strahl Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP

Pot only a gateway drug if illegal It is good that a Lower Mainland coalition of eight mayors are asking for the decriminalization of marijuana.

While there are those who oppose this move on the grounds that pot is a gateway drug to more dangerous drugs, here is my opinion as to why

they are both right and wrong.

If pot were a gateway drug then a large percentage of those over 50 would be either dead from overdose, criminally supporting a habit or just totally wasted each day from their addictions. That is my argument against the ‘gateway’ concept.

On the other hand with pot as an illegal substance the only way to obtain it is through the criminal element. The pusher, like any good salesperson, will try to upsell you to a more addictive and higher profit product, because the pusher’s only interest is making money. That

then is my view supporting the idea that yes, pot is a gateway drug, but only if it is illegal.

I hope the mayor’s initiative will spread to other mayors, MLAs, premiers and MPs throughout the country bringing an end to the madness.

Third industrial revolution on its way There was a interesting article in the April 21 issue of The Economist magazine.

The article covered the first two industrial revolutions, and made the prediction that we are now entering a third industrial revolution that will have a major impact on world economies.

The first revolution started in Britain with the mechanization of the textile industry. Cloth was no longer made by hand.

The second revolution started in the U.S. when Henry Ford invented the production line and ushered in the age of mass produc-

tion.

Now a third revolution is underway. The electronic digital assembly line will practically eliminate the production line as we know it and result in all labour being run by computers, from the processing of raw materials to the final production of finished articles. The need for specialized raw material will go up.

This will result in the elimination of the need to send raw materials to places such as China and the production of manufactured items at the place where they are

needed. Cheap labour and shipping costs will gradually be reduced or eliminated.

A lot of the world container traffic will no longer be required. China will manufacture to satisfy its own needs, as will most countries.

However, a well-educated and professional work force will be needed to get the production processes set up, and the West will start setting this up on a worldwide basis. We must get ready for another round of world prosperity, led by the West.

Eric J. Bysouth

Legislation won’t curb puppy mills The private member’s bill introduced by MLA Jane Thornthwaite will not help to curb puppy mills.

The bottom line for these operations is simple economics. Their sales market is pet stores. If you eliminate the market, production will stop.

It is evident that this bill won’t meet the intent when it is reported that the bill is

supported by PIJAC Canada. The Pet Industries Joint Advisory Council of Canada is an association of pet store owners.

I applaud Ms. Thornthwaite for her interest in curbing puppy mills, but suggest that she should work on the details more thoroughly. Seek input from the governing body for ethical breeders — the Canadian Kennel Club. Their code of ethics is stricter

Streamlining environmental assessments

I’d like to applaud the recent move to a “one project, one review” policy for environmental assessments. Having the federal and provincial governments carrying out environmental reviews that duplicate each other’s assessment processes is costly, senseless and unnecessary.

Duplicate review processes have been known to take as long as a decade before approvals are granted. Not only is this a job-killer, one that seriously stunts economic growth, it also robs communities of the investment and prosperity they long to see.

A “one project, one review” approach balances important environmental values with other values.

It meets all environmental requirements. And it does not diminish environmental protections or safeguards in any way. Nothing is being lost by this overdue streamlining, but much is definitely being gained.

Donald Leung

than what she’s asking for.

As long as the public are uneducated that the “cute little doggy in the window” at the pet store that is from a puppy mill, they will continue buy them. And as long as pet stores can continue to sell them, the puppy mills will always have a place to move their merchandise.

Too much severance Wow, Chris Olsen making $12,500 annually is given a $67,000 severance payment after a one-year gig as press secretary for the Christy Clark government.

This in a world where the typical severance is one month for each year served. But no money for raises for any of the people who actually contribute to the running of the province.

Go ahead, Ms. Clark.

Change the name of the party. That will definitely save your bacon.

The B.C. government has followed through on its promise to regulate motorcycle helmets, with restrictions on the horsepower available to new riders coming in the next year.

Justice Minister Shirley Bond has announced that the new helmet regulation takes effect June 1, requiring riders to wear helmets that meet Canadian and international safety standards. Many of the minimal-coverage “beanie” helmets favoured by macho bikers will soon be eligible for a $138 ticket.

Regulations will also require passengers to have their feet on foot pegs or floorboards while riding.

Children who can’t reach the foot pegs will no longer be allowed as passengers, and drivers will be subject to tickets for that as well.

Bond said restrictions will be developed by next spring that will set a limit on the horsepower of mo-

torcycles used by new riders. The new rule will be an extension of the graduated licence restrictions for all new drivers.

The power restrictions were sought by Denise Lodge, who began lobbying for changes after her son Corey died in a crash in 2005. His accident on Highway 1 on Vancouver Island came the day after getting a learner’s permit and buying a modified, high-speed motorcycle.

“I kept saying, if only he didn’t have such a powerful bike,” said Lodge, struggling to maintain her composure as she spoke at a news conference in Victoria. “If he only had the training. If only he had experience.”

Lodge soon learned of motorcycle power restrictions in place in European countries, and began seeking similar regulations for B.C. Bond said she plans to have consultations on power limits complete by this fall, and new rules in place before motorcycle riding season next year.

Naturopathic clinic opens in Hope Kerrie-Ann Schoenit Hope Standard

KERRIE-ANN SCHOENIT / THE STANDARD

Shannon Feely has opened a new naturopathic clinic in Hope.

Shannon Feely is hoping to fill a void in the community.

The former Hope resident has opened a new naturopathic clinic to provide residents with more health care options and guidance.

“The overall goal is to improve quality of life,” said Feely, who also runs a practice in Vancouver that primarily focuses on pediatric health.

“I am by no means trying to replace the medical doctor. I’m a pretty conservative naturopath and I would say the most powerful medicine is using conventional plus alternative together.”

Feely relies on a variety of treatments to address chronic and acute health conditions, including herbal medicine, acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, clinical nutrition, massage, hydrotherapy, homeopathy, laboratory testing, and lifestyle counselling. She also uses a holistic approach with each patient to determine the root cause of an illness and manage symptoms.

“You really can improve your daily life by a large degree just by making a few simple changes,” she said.

Feely said natural medicine can help with digestive problems, premenstrual syndrome, low energy/fatigue, children’s respiratory issues, allergies, asthma, cold/flu prevention, ear infections and skin conditions.

Feely was inspired to become a naturopath by a breast cancer survivor that she met several years ago while working as an environmental planner.

“I always wanted to help people,” she said. “This

multi-faceted approach made so much sense to me.”

Feely trained at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine in Toronto before moving to England, where she spent two years running a naturopathic practice in London while teaching students at the College of Naturopathic Medicine.

She also served as the director of nutrition, managing the college’s nutrition program and student clinic.

Feely is currently working in Hope every third Thursday at the Hope Chiropractic Care Centre.

Naturopathic doctor visits are covered under most extended medical plans.

The relay continues along Old Hope Princeton Way to Third Avenue, where Dryden HamblyForman from Hope will carry the medal to the fire hall at the corner of Fort Street. The relay then makes its way to Wallace Street and up to Fourth Avenue, before Tom Romano takes over. The local resident was injured in a logging accident in 1994 and has served on the Board of Spinal Cord Injury BC since 1999.

He remains very active in community disability issues, with particular interest in advocating for increased architectural accessibility.

The relay then progresses to Sixth Avenue, where Amber Klewachuck of Hope carries the medal along Sixth Avenue from Commission Street to Park Street, and to the Park Street Manor. From there, the relay continues down Park Street to Fourth Avenue at the corner of Memorial Park. The final medal bearer of the day is Barbara Sharrers of Hope, who was chosen by the Rick Hansen Relay Committee to be recognized as a difference maker and lead the relay onto the park stage.

Sharrers was in charge of all the paperwork and office tasks that kept Otters Swim Club running for 18 years. After retiring from her work at the Hope Health Unit, she joined the Fraser Canyon Hospice Society, volunteering at the local flu and baby clinics, and became an active member of the Friends of the Hope Library. In 2000, Sharrers became a board member of the hospice society, where she has now served almost nine years as secretary.

The relay kicks off on Friday at C.E. Barry School with medal bearer Alexa Wyatt of Hope, who will lead the way along Fifth Avenue to Coquihalla Street. Hannah Chisholm then continues along Coquihalla Street to Sixth Avenue, and Coquihalla Elementary School. She is on Coquihalla’s leadership team, reading challenge

Medal bearer Peter Flynn of Hope leads the relay from Coquihalla Elementary School to Stuart Street via Sixth Avenue, and along Fifth Avenue. He was in a car accident in late 1982 that crushed his T12 vertebrae and was taken to the old Shaughnessy Hospital, where he was in a Stryker frame for four weeks. He was later put in a body cast, released and graduated to a body frame. Now, 29 years later he is in good health and is a teacher at Coquihalla Elementary School.

Hannah Evans of Hope will carry the medal along Fifth Avenue to Hope Secondary School. She was chosen to represent the school “not because she is wheelchair bound, but because despite the adversity she has had to face the last few years, she has remained incredibly positive.”

After a 10-minute stop, a medal bearer from Chilliwack and Janet Henderson of Hope lead the relay along Fourth Avenue to King Street.

From there, the relay continues to Hemlock Avenue, Water Avenue and the entrance of Telte Yet Campsite. The route then takes medal bearers along Water Avenue to the junction with Old Hope Princeton Way. Jacob Alan Baerg of Yale will travel on a long-

board skateboard along Flood Hope Road to Silver Creek Elementary School. In 2007, Baerg and his brother Will along with three other friends used their skills and love of longboarding to raise awareness about global warming.

Taya Nodecker of Hope will then lead the relay from Silver Creek Elementary to Flood Hope Road via School Road. She was chosen to represent the school because of the long journey she’s endured since breaking both bones in her right arm in August 2010. She has undergone numerous surgeries to set her bones in place with pins, deal with an infection in her arm, and treat Volkmann’s Ischemic Contracture, which left her with little nerve and muscle control. During a follow up appointment last November, doctor’s discovered that Nodecker had once again broken her arm. The bones were considered “dead” and a bone graft was needed.

Continuing along Flood Hope Road to Peter Street is medal bearer Kate Zabell of Sunshine Valley, who is a committed volunteer in the community. The relay travels to Flood Roads, over the CN Railway tracks, and along Old Yale Road before ending up at the Fraser River. From there, it crosses the water with Fraser River Raft Expeditions to the Chawathil Reserve.

A family of Canadian geese make their way along the Fraser River last Wednesday near Wardle Street.

The B.C. River Forecast Centre is predicting a higher risk of flooding on the lower Fraser this year because of heavier-than-usual snowpacks across central and northern B.C. that have been slow to melt.

Mothers have been around as long as people. And as long as there are children, there will be a mother nearby wiping their noses, kissing their boo-boos, and making sure they eat their veggies. (Or, at least, we hope so!) So let’s celebrate the women who, for better or worse, have shaped our lives into what they are today!

It’s said that necessity is the mother of invention, but did you know that mothers have their own inventions?

Taking libraries on the road With music booming out of their modern re-think of the traditional “bookmobile,” and a snack bar featuring a cake shaped like a 2012 Nissan Cube, the Fraser Valley Regional Library has unveiled its latest program, Library Live and on Tour.

Smitty Miller, the FVRL community development librarian, described how she will drive the vehicle that inspired the cake around the library region – an area that stretches from North Delta to Boston Bar – promoting adult literacy. With the mobile library she plans to connect with community members in seniors homes, transition houses, soup kitchens and other non-traditional places.

“I want to reach people who don’t think of, or normally go to, the library,” she said.

The Cube, dubbed LiLi, has an eye-catching paint job, enhanced au-

dio donated by Clarion, two laptop computers with internet connectivity, XBox Kinect games and an assortment of other gadgets. Abbotsford’s 360 Fabrication donated $20,000 worth of design and equipment, from a 36-inch LCD screen installation to an “aooga” car horn.

Miller said she will give away books, use the computer system to sign up new library users, promote computer skills and literacy skills, and even clear up library fines.

In the work she has done in her role, she has found that fines stop borrowers for years.

“That’s a big obstacle to the library, and I can take care of fines,” she said.

She and LiLi are out to shatter stereotypes about libraries, librarians and library users.

Lucky numbers pay off for local Keno player Hope resident Kirsten Aven wonders if karma played a role in helping her win $100,000 in a Keno draw.

The 53-year-old Dutchie’s Bakery clerk learned of her good fortune right after purchasing her ticket and checking her numbers at Lakeway Market on May 1 at about 10:30 a.m.

“I usually go to the gas station to get gas, coffee and doggy treats,” said Aven, adding that once inside she opted to buy a $2 Keno ticket. “I decided to combine my favorite numbers, a mix of birth dates and my favourite numbers, on one ticket for two draws.”

Kirsten Aven with the $100,000 cheque she received from the B.C. Lottery Corporation.

As is the case with any big win, the lottery terminal froze when the clerk checked the ticket and Aven needed to speak to a B.C. Lottery Corporation representative. She wasn’t sure how much she had won, but was soon told she was $100,000 richer.

“I stood there and my eyes started to well up,” said Aven. “The clerk even told me it couldn’t have happened to a nicer woman… it’s karma!”

Aven and her husband plan to use their winnings to celebrate, purchase a new car, do some home renovations and pay off some bills.

Get ready for the arrival of spring expressed in vibrant musical colours by the members of Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus and their special guests.

“The season finale is going to be an eclectic evening featuring beloved pieces,” said CSO music director Paula DeWit. Three special guests will be gracing the main stage of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre with the members of the CSO and chorus on Saturday, May 26.

“We are very fortunate to have as our guest conductor, Maestro Les Dala, associate conductor of the Vancouver Opera.”

He will be leading the popular symphony through a mesmerizing musical evening of guest artists and a tribute to the Queen’s 60th jubilee.

The concert will open with three movements of the Pastoral Symphony, Beethoven’s 6th Symphony. It’s an ode to pastoral country life.

“Neophytes can’t help but love this gorgeous piece of music.”

Young Artist Contest winner Alexis VandeWeg will be performing her winning solo piece, the wonderful Beethoven Tempest Sonata (Op. 31 No. 2) third movement on piano, with the orchestra.

“Bernard Blary, our principal flute arranged an incredible orchestra part to complement the brilliant Beethoven Sonata,” DeWit said.

The second half will have a totally different feel to it.

“We will celebrate A Night at the Proms and will be joined by award-winning accordion virtuoso Jelena Milojevich.”

Milojevich is a celebrated solo accordion player who debuted at Carnegie hall and went on to perform and collaborate with some of the best in the world.

Her performances have been described as “an explosion of cosmic sensuality” and she has been praised for her “brilliant virtuosity.”

Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus present Annual Spring Grand Concert on May 26 at 7:30 p.m. in the main theatre of the Cultural Centre. Tickets are $25.

A story in the May 3 edition of The Hope Standard incorrectly stated that the Aid for Neema project had raised enough money to pay for a $20,000 shipping container to Kenya.

The three women involved in the initiative are still trying to raise enough money to send the shipping container, which will stay in Neema to provide safe food storage for orphanage and school.

Canadians are living longer and costs for the Old Age Security (OAS) are rising.

On April 1, 2023 the Government of Canada plans to start raising the age of eligibility for OAS and the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) from 65 to 67.*

What does this mean for you?

54 or older as of March 31, 2012

You may still obtain OAS/GIS at age 65

53 or younger as of March 31, 2012

The age of eligibility for OAS/GIS will change gradually between 2023 and 2029

Starting in July 2013, Canadians who are eligible for, but not yet receiving OAS will have the flexibility to delay receiving it in exchange for a higher monthly amount at a later date.

The number of working-age Canadians for every senior is decreasing** 6 5

The number of working-age Canadians per senior is decreasing, placing additional pressure on the OAS program.
