Council Briefs

Next Meeting: Monday April 27, 2015 7:00 p.m. in the District of Hope Council Chambers

March 23, 2015 Council Meeting Delegations: Ms. Marianne Brueckert of the Purple Lights Committee was in attendance to discuss planned activities for the Purple Light Nights Campaign – October 1 – 31, 2015.

Ms. Brueckert stated that the Purple Lights Campaign is going to start earlier this year than in the past. It is an awareness campaign on domestic violence, trying to find ways to engage the community and create a greater awareness of this issue.

Ms. Julie Ballinger thanked Council for the information included on the District page of the Hope Standard regarding rodent control in yards.

She mentioned that each year it is getting more difficult to manage the rat problem, and the District does not have mitigating measures to deal with rats. Residents put food out at low levels and they transfer the food to other properties. Also, birds fly and drop food which spreads the problem.

The Chief Administrative Officer advised that staff can look at what other communities are doing.

Ms. Lydia Koot of the Hope Mountain Black Bear Committee and Conservation Officer, Mr. Kyle Ackles were in attendance to discuss a possible solid waste/wildlife attractant bylaw. Ms. Koot provided Council with information on what the

Hope Black Bear Committee does, including brochures, door hangers, garbage can stickers and fruit gleaning information. Conservation Officer Ackles stressed the importance of education people on how to co-exist with wildlife. He noted that there are some portions of the BE Wildlife Act that allow for infractions to be enforced via tickets, particularly where there is an attractant to dangerous animals.

Council noted that they will consider bylaw options for future changes or implementation to address bear concerns. It was noted that the District could include information with utility and/or tax notice billings.

Staff Reports: • Council adopted the Council – Administration Staffing Communication Policy.

• Council endorsed Mr. Hondo Stroyan, Mr. Peter Robb, and Mr. Maurice Wutzke, for election to the AdvantageHOPE Board of Directors.

• Council declassified a resolution from the March

9, 2015 In-Camera meeting directing staff that the Hope Golf and Country Club new lease and sublicence not be finalized until a parallel non-legal process with Rod MacDonnell is attempted to resolve land use issues and bring Mr. MacDonnell into compliance with District bylaws.

• Council resolved to include the surplus funds currently in the 2015 Budget to an Unallocated Capital Account to be used for 2015 capital projects that may be required throughout the year. Further, these funds may be reallocated by resolution by Council and in the event the funds remain unallocated in 2015, then they should be transferred to the Future Capital Expenditures Reserve Account at year end.

Correspondence: Council received a memorandum from the Chief Administrative Officer regarding Economic Development – Readiness Assessment.

March Committee of the Whole Meetings: Council approved minutes of several Committee of the Whole meetings which were held in the month of March for the purpose of 2015 budget deliberations. The 2015 – 2019 Financial Plan Bylaw will go to Council on April 13th for Council’s consideration.

April 13, 2015 Council Meeting Delegations: Mr. Scott Misumi, former Director of Community Development was presented with a plaque and certificate in recognition of his 22 years of service to the District of Hope.

Ms. Jessica Morrison, Environmental Services Coordinator, Fraser Valley Regional District, was in attendance to speak to a Solid Waste Management Plan Implementation Report.

Ms. Morrison explained that the four stages of implementation are: regional capacity, organics, advanced materials recovery facility and regional cooperation. It will take two – three years to engage the plan with business and industry. There is currently a three year outlook to unfold the full plan.

Council expressed an interest in finding out the cost implications.

Ms. Brenna Ayliffe and Ms. Catherine Wiebe representing Fraser Health, were in attendance to explain the Live 5-2-1-0 Campaign which is an initiative focusing on child activity and healthy eating.

Premier Christy Clark met Friday with the finance ministers of China, India, the U.S. and other G20 countries to tell them about the success of B.C.’s carbon tax on fuels.

Clark said in a phone interview from Washington D.C. she was invited there by the World Bank, whose president Jim Yong Kim co-chaired the meeting along with United Nations Secretary General Ban KiMoon.

Countries around the world are looking for greenhouse gas reduction strategies before the next UN climate conference in Paris next December, and Clark said there was a keen interest in B.C.’s unique experience.

B.C.’s carbon tax was introduced in 2008, and is currently set at $30 per tonne of carbon dioxide emissions.

That translates to about seven cents a litre on gasoline and similar taxes on coal, natural gas and other fuels.

Metro Vancouver is bracing for protests in regional parks such as Colony Farm and Surrey Bend after negotiating a deal with Kinder Morgan granting its crews access to plan the route of the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline expansion.

Regional district staff outline the agreements in a briefing note that will be before Metro mayors at a meeting Friday.

It sets out 10 Metro-owned properties – including portions of newly created Surrey Bend Regional Park, Colony Farm Regional Park and the closed Coquitlam Landfill – where Trans Mountain crews have until Nov. 30 to conduct non-intrusive supervised visual surveys on foot.

Metro has forbidden the use of vehicles, machines or any digging or sampling, and it has reserved the right to terminate access on 24 hours notice, but regional district staff have still flagged the visits as a potential source of conflict with anti-pipeline protesters.

"Once the licence agreements are ratified and Trans Mountain accesses the properties, there is

a high likelihood of stakeholder inquiries and media interest," according to the briefing note.

"Conflict in the form of public protest and civil disobedience are considered real possibilities."

If that prediction proves accurate, the two regional parks may be ground zero for a replay of the confrontations that took place last November on Burnaby Mountain, where more than 100 protesters were arrested.

More recently, protesters rallied against the project near the proposed route in Fort Langley on April 11.

The regional district has not formally adopted a position on the pipeline twinning and stresses the access agreements do not constitute any form of approval.

It also addressed public concern that Kinder Morgan may assemble pipeline components in Colony Farm park for a tunnel under the Fraser River, a possibility that has already sparked protests.

Metro Vancouver says it has not consented to any use of its lands for construction staging or temporary work space, nor has Trans Mountain made such a request.

Metro is an intervenor in the National Energy Board review of the project and has filed numerous questions to Kinder Morgan.

Regional district officials are expected to report back next month with their assessment of impacts on regional assets, infrastructure and the environment.

Friday's meeting will also see Metro mayors meet and question NEB chair Peter Watson and Canada Coast Guard assistant commissioner Roger Girouard, who is likely to face more questions about spill preparedness in the wake of the April 8 spill of bunker fuel oil in Vancouver harbour.

For his part, NEB chair Watson, who is on a cross-country outreach tour, wants the mayors' advice on how the agency can improve oversight of pipelines and provide cities more information they don't already have.

Mayors are also to discuss a call by Burnaby for changes to the NEB public hearing process for the Kinder Morgan project.

Mayors from seven B.C. municipalities, including Burnaby and Vancouver, have already issued a declaration of non-confidence in the NEB review.

Opinion Published at Hope, Boston Bar, Yale and surrounding area by Black Press

What happened to government for the public good?

The B.C. provincial government is at war with its own citizens. These days, when it comes to environmental protection, protests, blockades and civil disobedience comprise the last remaining communication tools available. Since the B.C. government dumbed-down, environmental protection laws several years ago, threats to health, safety and living conditions of citizens across the province have been mounting.

The record is clear: tax-paying citizens don’t have a chance. Look at Shawnigan Lake, where 5 million tonnes of contaminated soil is to be dumped in a quarry that is located in its watershed source of drinking water for 7,000 people.

Take the Kinder Morgan pipeline project to twin a pipeline containing bitumen from the tar sands through inhabited areas of Greater Vancouver. Consider the Northern Gateway Pipeline, denounced by First Nations groups, the Union of BC Municipalities, and environmentalists alike. Case in point is the 2014 Mount Polley mine disaster, where slurry containing arsenic, selenium and other heavy metals flooded Polley Lake and lakes/creeks downstream.

Now, residents of the Nicola Valley near Merritt are being inundated with sewage sludge (the untreatable left-overs of waste water treatment plants, containing fecal coliform, heavy metals, and other noxious substances) from all over B.C. Private companies are being contracted by municipalities (Abbotsford for example) and districts (the Regional District of the Central Okanagan for example) to dispose of their sewer sludge.

Under the revised provincial Organic Matter Recycling Regulation, a private contractor can operate in secrecy with no requirement to let people nearby know what it proposes to do, give notice, post its plans publicly or consult.

Nor is there a licensing procedure, whereby government issues a permit for a private contractor to apply sludge to agricultural land. All the contractor has to do is to file an “Application Plan”, and 30 days later the trucks of sludge can start arriving.

The “Application Plan” does not have to include any information about people residing close-by; apparently, the effects the noxious operation will have on them is unimportant. And with staff cutbacks, there is no routine government monitoring of the operation. Somebody has to complain, and then (maybe) an investigator will be sent to visit the site. This means the contractor is free to dispose greater quantities of sludge, and the sludge can have higher concentrations of fecal coliform and heavy metals than the (practically un-vetted) plan described in the first place.

Wolf cull ends for this year with 84 killed B.C. VIEWS Tom Fletcher The B.C. government has killed 11 wolves in the South Selkirk Mountains and another 73 in the South Peace region in the first year of a five-year plan to protect dwindling caribou herds.

The South Selkirk program left seven to 10 wolves alive because they were not targeting caribou, and their movements continue to be tracked. That mountain caribou herd is down to 14, compared to 18 last year and 46 in 2009.

The South Peace herds have also seen significant losses from wolves, with 37 per cent of adult mortalities confirmed

as wolf kills. Four herds in the region, the Quintette, Moberly, Scott and Kennedy-Siding, were targeted in the wolf removal program.

The 700-member Graham herd, the largest in the South Peace, is being left without protection as a control group.

The program to shoot wolves from the air was a last resort after targeted hunting and trapping of wolves proved inadequate, sometimes splitting up wolf packs and increasing predation of caribou.

The South Selkirk herd has been subject to intensive protection efforts on both sides of the Canada-U.S. border. In 2007 the province banned logging and roadbuilding in its 2.2 millionhectare B.C. range and restricted off-road recreatioin to reduce

human disturbance.

In the Peace region, restrictions were approved in 2012 to protect 498,000 hectares of high elevation winter range.

The modern program began in 2003, after decades of managed hunting and other wolf control measures.

For the first part of the 20th century, B.C. offered a bounty on wolves that ended in 1955.

Beginning in 1950, baits laced with poison were used in bait stations and later dropped onto frozen lakes and rivers, which killed other species as well as wolves.

Letters Re: Conservatives’ dereliction of duty Here is the truth about our Conservative Government’s economic record. Since our election in 2006, our Conservative Government has reduced taxes over 180 times. Maclean’s magazine said, “Finance Minister Joe Oliver can accurately claim that federal taxes are at their ‘lowest level in 50 years’” (April 20, 2015).

The Parliamentary Budget Officer, after analyzing our tax relief initiatives, concluded that the changes “have been progressive overall and most greatly impact low- and middle-income earners.”

According to a study published by the New York Times last spring, Canada’s middle class is the wealthiest in the world. With the highest after-tax income, Canadian middle-class families surpassed their American counterparts after years of trailing behind.

Families in all income groups have seen increases of about 10% or more in their take-home pay since 2006.

What’s more, we have made notable progress in the fight against poverty. Since the previous Liberal government, there are 1.4 million fewer Canadians living in poverty including 225,000 fewer children. The number of Canadians living below the low income cut-off is at its lowest level in history, and Canada currently has one of the lowest poverty rates among seniors in the world.

If Canadians want to know about the Liberal's high tax plan, they should listen to what Toronto area Liberal MP, Chrystia Freeland says about raising taxes. After all, she was recruited by Justin Trudeau to run for the Liberals because of her economic views.

She supports a job-killing carbon tax. On Hardball with Chris Matthews she said, “amen to raising taxes” (MSNBC, April 18, 2011).

In 2008, facing the greatest period of global economic instability in a generation, our Conservative Government responded by fostering the best job creation record in the G7. Since the depth of the global recession, 1.2 million net new jobs have been created. These are overwhelmingly full-time, private sector jobs in high-wage industries.

While Toronto Liberal MPs like Chrystia Freeland plot to raise your taxes for their big government schemes, our Government will continue to focus on creating jobs, growth and economic prosperity for the people of British Columbia.,

It is reckless, dangerous, and ineffective.

It is reckless because it turns CSIS into a ‘secret police’ force with little oversight or accountability.

It is dangerous because it opens the door for violations of our Charter Rights freedoms, including censorship of free expression online.

It is ineffective because it will lead to dragnet surveillance and information sharing on innocent Canadians that even Stephen Harper has admitted to be ineffective. To make matters worse the government is trying to push this law through parliament in record time.

Before Canadians knew what was in Bill C-51, 17% opposed it. Three weeks later, they

found out, and now 50% oppose it.

The more Canadians learn about what’s in this bill, the less they like it.

If this bill passes, your sensitive private information would be shared between no fewer than 17 government agencies and even handed to foreign governments; including sensitive type of information.

This type of information can reveal everything from your financial status, to your medical history, your sexual orientation and even your religious and political beliefs. Victims of these privacy breaches wouldn’t even be informed. This means the government could spy on anyone, at anytime, and we wouldn’t even know when we’ve been a victim.

Do we really want the government to

ESL profitable for B.C. Language instruction in B.C., or English as a Second Language (ESL) schools for international students, is directly responsible for one billion dollars in economic activity every year.

It is the province’s fourth largest export industry and employs 24,000 British Columbians.

Add in the economic activity that international students generate when they eat in B.C. restaurants, travel all over the province, and the “Home Stay” income received by thousands of B.C. families.

That figure balloons to more than three billion dollars in economic activity for B.C. For thousands of homestay parents, the homestay income helps to pay mortgages and put food on the table, and the relationships that grow from homestays make our world a little smaller.

Thousands of students who visit B.C. to learn English and then go back to their home countries are walking, talking advertisements that entice others to visit our province – effectively mini ambassadors we send all over the world!

It is important that all of us in B.C., from the provincial government to Mayor Gregor Robertson, and all of us as citizens, support the “International ESL Tourism” industry as it benefits our economy.

It also serves to encourage bright young people from all over the world to consider coming to B.C. to lend a hand.

A resource we will come to cherish as our baby boomers retire, and we need an extra hand, and some extra man-woman power to man the helm in years to come!

These new spying powers are highly unpopular: 71% of Canadians don’t want to trade their privacy rights to give spy agencies more power.

Over 110,000 people have already spoken out.

The government has admitted Bill C-51 is fundamentally flawed, so they must withdraw the legislation, go back to the drawing board and start over.

Controversial findings could outweigh conventional medicine From 1

An undiagnosed epidemic of Lyme disease in North America is presenting itself in the form of other illnesses and is correlative to the onset of Lyme disease, based on results of Murakami’s work.

Current environmental conditions are providing a healthy breeding ground for the ticks, who do not traditionally survive in sub-zero temperatures.

An influx of warm weather during winter months is allowing the pests to flourish and go undetected by their hosts.

This has been denied by the proper authorities as stated by Murakami and may also be linked to dwindling moose populations.

“I once had a patient who suffered from severe depression — the medical community said she was a mental case, but I insisted on doing the tests and we found that her symptoms were the result of Lyme disease (which is contracted through the implantation of a tick),” he said.

“The leading cause of death in Lyme disease is suicide — the depression is that bad.”

Conservative in his approach toward marijuana, Murakami was dead against the use of pot smoking, but became interested in the benefits of cannabidiol paste, as it didn’t possess the psychotic effects traditionally induced by marijuana usage.

When he discovered he had a brain tumor, Murakami used the paste to treat it, after researching a case where cannabidiol dissolved a Glioma tumor. This resulted in its disappearance.

“I thought this was an impossibility, until I saw the MRI reports showing the absolute resolution of the tumor in four months,” he said.

Other anecdotal cases of cannabidiol treating chronic infections, which have been resistant to standard antibiotics have been cited in his preliminary research; suggesting, the possibility that cannabidiol has an antibiotic effect.

Research, which is in its initial stages and involves testing cannabidiol on live spirochetes (infectious bacteria,) has stood up to preliminary triERIN KNUTSON / THE STANDARD als and provided solid evidence in favour of the continuation with further testing protocol.

“I made them better and I was condemned for it,” said Murakami of the Dr. Ernie Murakami presents his findings to a group at the Fraser Canyon Hospital in Hope B.C. on Thursday, April 16th. His reception of his work by the medical profession and by UBC, where he extensive research suggests a correlation between diabetes and Lyme disease.

discussed the secret behind his interesting relay style of cycling, running, walking, rollerblading, longboarding, wheelchair cycling and even using a scooter to go the distance.

“I asked kids around the country how I should complete my journey, and aside from a pogo stick and a jump rope, I pretty much used them all,” said O’Brien. The relay style journey is all about the kids — he originally set up the foundation to help school drop out rates and facilitate the

continued and successful trajectory of school kids across Canada to achieve higher learning.

Passing the baton from school-to-school and engaging kids during his trip, is all about making them part of the success of his tour.

“It’s about the kids — they get to pass the relay baton and complete the journey with me,” he said. It’s about keeping them in school, keeping them motivated and telling them to never, ever, give up.

Opinion Without a trace, the truth about Fido

A10 Hope Standard Thursday, April 23, 2015

Lori Welbourne Submitted

Anyone who reads my column every week is aware that our dog Charlie went missing a month ago. What people might not realize is that more than a few dogs in West Kelowna have vanished, and they’ve all been small to medium sized purebreds or purebred mixes.

After viewing the six pets on the handouts circulated by the other owners and I, many people thought there was a criminal dog-ring in town, while others attributed the sudden disappearances to wildlife

attacks. We fully admit that we don’t know what happened to ours.

What we do know, however, is that there has been no evidence that would confirm the latter, and we’ve all looked high and low for it.

We’ve also learned that dog flipping – the business of stealing dogs and selling them – is happening all over, including right here in the Okanagan.

Before Charlie went missing, the idea of my pets being nabbed had never crossed my mind. Wildlife and traffic were my big concerns when it came to their safety; never

did I consider they might be dog-napped. But after talking to almost every owner who’s lost a dog in the Okanagan recently and finding out just how many people suspect their pet was stolen, or know that they were, I started to investigate.

One of the missing West Kelowna dogs from our handouts is Shylo, a Chihuahua Pomeranian, whose owners live in Glenrosa, like I do. Three days before his mysterious disappearance an unknown middleaged woman with short red hair had approached Shylo on their porch where he was sitting in the sun. She was holding a bowl of water and quickly fled when she discovered he was not alone. His family can’t help but wonder if she is the reason he vanished.

“It there’d been coyotes or any animals, Shylo would have been barking like mad and jumping up at the door,” her owner, Chakara, said. “And there would have been pee, poop, blood or fur left behind.” But after looking all over their area and finding nothing, they started their search with posting ads, then going door to door and putting up flyers – which would end up getting torn down like many of ours were. Eight months later they still have no idea what happened to him.

Other cases have been more obvious, with people actually seeing their pets being stolen, paying a reward to get them back, or tracking them down at drug dealers’ houses to rescue them. Sometimes dog theft happens for ransom, but there are several other reasons as well. Selling to people wanting to pay less for certain breeds who don’t care about the right paperwork or adequate background checks is a common one. Not having a clue what happened to our pets makes things more difficult because

the search for a lost dog is very different from a stolen one. But thieves prefer we don’t know, which is why they’ll leave the gate of a fenced yard open so we think the pooch has merely gotten loose, or why they’ll lurk around waiting for opportunities to snatch a dog by itself.

This past Sunday, some of the other owners and I participated in a large search party along with many supportive friends and strangers to look for our pets and inform the public about lost and stolen dogs.

We wanted to encourage them to take notice of unfamiliar people and suspicious behaviour in their neighborhoods and to report anything questionable.

We also urged them to keep their own pets safe by keeping them leashed, not leaving them unattended in front of a store or in an unlocked house, not leaving them alone in a car if possible, and installing locks on fenced yards.

Bobbie, one of the dogs on our flyers, gave us all hope when she arrived home the day before our search party. After surviving 14 days

on the lam, the short-legged little Dachshund came home on her own, skinnier and smelling like a horse among other things.

Farms are an ideal spot for a frightened lost dog to hide out, but so are many typical backyards.

Please check your property to see if you’ve got an animal fugitive like Bobbie in your midst, and if you do, don’t chase or scare them away.

If they’re skittish, take a picture and call dog control or the pet’s owner as soon as possible.

And that same advice extends to anyone trying to help an elusive dog seen alone in public. Lying down and encouraging them to come to you works far better than standing tall or even crouching.

And if you haven’t done it already, register, microchip and GPS your pets if you can. The cost is minimal compared to the heartache and financial expenditures we’ve all endured. None of us would wish this experience on anyone.

$3.4 million highway project for Hope

News Highway 1 users will welcome a $3.4 million repaving project between Bridal Veil Falls and Hope. The project is designed to improve the safety conditions along a 37.5 kilometre stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway.

Included in the ambitious project is the removal of rough

sections of pavement, as well as increasing the asphalt strength which will provide a more stable highway for today’s high volumes of commercial traffic and heavier loads along B.C.’s most important and travelled transportation corridor.

“This multi-million dollar investment acknowledges the importance of keeping Highway 1 in top condition.”

The rehabilitation of provincial highways, bridges and side roads is a priority of B.C. on the Move, a 10-year transportation plan that outlines critical investments and improvements throughout the province that will vastly improve the daily lives of British Columbians.

Singer, songwriter and guitarist Mat Duffus is slated to perform live at Hope Legion 228 on Saturday, May 2nd from 7 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

The prolific talent delivers top ten music of all types in a zany and interactive-audience style setting, along with a magic show, comedy and extensive involvement from all in attendance.

Mat provides a unique experience, which features popular music from a multitude of decades, including the 1940’s onward. Expect to hear some classics and some originals at all desired sound volume levels.

“We have performed a number of times at the Osoyoos, Oliver, Penticton, Princeton and Peachland Legions —and I liken my performance to that of a rubber chicken,” Mat told The Hope Standard.

After being inspired by his dad at an early age and a cool stereo system, Matt picked up a guitar, started strumming and never looked back.

“I like to get people involved, I like to engage the crowd and let them borrow my guitar,” he said.

‘Transformation’ is the title of the upcoming exhibition to be featured in the Back Room of Hope Arts Gallery. Local artist Jenny Wolpert will be displaying her unique painting, photography and pottery.

Wolpert’s work explores the wildworld of nature with an emphasis on birds — the impetus for her substantive body of new and accomplished pieces.

“In paintings, I transform nature encounters from three dimension to two and in that translation of states, the artwork is imbued with my wonder in each experience,” said Wolpert. “Pottery that’s another story.”

Wolpert describes pottery as a transformation which occurs in the artist, paralleling the reformation of the clay.

“It is the artist that is transformed as much as the wet, sticky, malleable clay when it becomes a useful vessel or decorative form,” she said.

“I am attracted to clay spinning

on the wheel as much as children love mud puddles, and I often return home from the Art Machine Studio looking like I have found my own puddle.”

Utilizing clay mediums which include both wheel thrown and hand built vessels, a number of her pieces are embellished with a stylistic and signature pine needle weaving.

Using a multitude of mediums, Wolpert has created a brave new world in a remarkable series of digital collages and new vignettes.

“Disparate elements carrying their own aesthetics and history join to illustrate a moment in time, place and imagination,” according to a press release statement.

Transformation will be showing from May 1st to May 28th at the Hope Arts Gallery on 348 Fort Street.

All interested parties are invited to attend the opening reception on Saturday, May 2nd from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Refreshments will be served throughout the engagement.

Understanding self-harm — “why is my child doing this?”

Dr. David Smith Submitted

"Why would my daughter do this?"

That is what bewildered parents plead to me and other mental health professionals in BC too often these days. The youth — often but not always— is a female between ages 10 and 19 who is being treated for one of a variety of forms of self harm.

Self-harm exists along a spectrum anywhere from self-injuries such as cutting herself with a sharp object, repeatedly hitting herself, or burning herself, or sometimes even poisoning herself with medications or noxious substances.

In the last five years, children and youth rates for hospitalization and ER visits for self-harm have soared.

This past November a special Canadian study on self-harm found that since 2009 self-harm hospitalization

rates for girls have increased by more than 110 per cent and ER visits by 98 per cent. While hospitalization rates for self harm were four times more common among girls, rates among boys had also increased substantially in the study.

What is going on?

While good research about self harm is just emerging, my mental health colleagues and I believe some reasons may be worth further investigation : feelings of disconnection among youth from loved ones and from themselves; youth feeling insignificant and unworthy; the dominant 24/7 online culture that magnifies bullying and social pressure and ramps up stress; and the normalization of self harm that youth find via the Internet. As well, self-harm, rather than being hidden or dismissed as in the past, is now being more rec-

On line the timall e!

ognized.

At the heart of most self harm is usually psychological pain and a disordered way of coping with unbearable feelings or an inability to regulate emotional responses under stressful situations (somewhat similar to various addictions or eating disorders).

Youth will often tell me that only way to relieve their emotional pain is by hurting themselves. Sometimes it is the lack of feeling that compels them to self harm. Youth will say they feel empty, numb, as if they don't exist: "Feeling the pain feels better than feeling nothing at all." For others, it gives a sense of control , that rather than being the victim of others inflicting pain on them, they are the ones controlling their own pain.

While self-harm occurs among BC youth from all sectors of society, it is more common among youth who are socially or economically disadvantaged; who have past trauma, neglect or abuse; who have other diagnosed mental health conditions or other illnesses; and who have uncertainty about their sexual orientation or who have recently come out in the youth LGBQT community.

Chilliwack & Area’s Hottest Listings...

While self-injury such as cutting and burning is usually distinct from direct suicidal behaviour, youth who self-harm in these ways are many times more likely than the general population to eventually complete suicide. So it is very important that the youth gets effective help.

I am particularly concerned that self harm in the form of ingesting poison — taking high doses of over -the- counter medication, prescription medication or ingesting a noxious substance —often represents a true suicide attempt in youth. Parents and health professionals must take poisoning actions very seriously and ensure the youth gets appropriate, urgent help through emergency services.

In non-urgent self-harm situations, the first step is to see your family doctor or contact the Child and Youth Mental Health program provided by the Ministry of Children and Family Development in your region. Call Service BC at 1-800-661-8773 for the MCFD office nearest to you.

Good information and support can be found through links at the Canadian Mental Health Association (cmha.ca ), the Kelty Mental Health

Resource Centre (keltyresources.ca) and heretohelp.bc.ca. As well , an excellent resource is the website for the National Interdisciplinary Network on Self-Harm , led by Dr. Mary Kay Nixon, a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist in Victoria (insync-group.ca).

Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying issues that are causing the pain and teaching the youth more effective coping skills and stress reduction techniques. Cognitive behavioural therapy, group therapy, and dialectic behavioural therapy can be very helpful for these skills. Medications may be given if co-existing depression, anxiety or psychosis are part of the underlying issues. Adults — parents, relatives, teachers, coaches, mentors— have a very important role in helping to support the youth to increase the youth's feelings of connection. Teaching youth healthy ways to express feelings of pain and anger, and new ways to cope with life's stresses can also help youth leave self harm behind.

Dr. David Smith is a specialist in adolescent and adult psychiatrist and the medical director of the Okanagan Psychiatric services for Interior Health.

B.C. Lions T-Dre Player (above) promotes a sense of team work with a group of school children at Silver Creek Elementary School on Monday, April 20th. Player is set to attend the 5-2-1-0 Community Play Boxes Event hosted at Memorial Park on Saturday, May 2nd.

5-2-1-0 inspires Play Boxes Hope Standard

The B.C. Lions will be in attendance at the 5-2-1-0 Community Play Boxes event, which will be held at Memorial Park on Saturday, May 2nd from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The health- conscious game playing sessions, hosted in partnership with the Fraser Valley Regional District Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services and Fraser Health Authority are premiering in Hope as a first of its kind.

“It’s about collectively taking responsibility for the health and welfare of our community,” said Milly Marshall, manager of Recreation, Culture and Airpark Services.

According to Marshall, there is not enough fundamental physical development instruction happening at the early level, resulting in the inability of

local children to develop necessary skills for healthy living.

Hope and its surrounding areas are reported to be the second lowest in the province in terms of physical well-being and developmental scores (EDI).

“It’s very important to get the message out,” she said.

Locations for the Play Boxes are slated at Memorial Park and the 6th Avenue ball field.

The inception of 5-21-0, originated with a need to bring physical activity to children and to help educate, while promoting the necessity of healthy change.

Play Boxes are to be set up at the specified points and will house play equipment at zero cost to help inspire children to engage in physical activities, while sticking to the 5-2-1-0 motto.

The motto promotes the daily consumption of 5 fruits or vegetables,

no more than 2 hours of screen time, 1 hour of activity and the use of 0 sweetened beverages per day.

“It’s about making the healthy choice — the preferred choice,” said Marshall.

Parents and members of the community are encouraged to access the boxes and jump in whole-heartedly with their children for some much needed play time.

This could be a combination of soccer, rope-jumping, hula hooping, basketball or the time honored tradition of football.

Draw prizes will be available, along with information and registration booths from homegrown community sports organizations.

There will be no shortage of games, activities and action-adventure for thrill-seeking families of all ages.

The people of the Yale School Communi-

ty Centre and the Almer Carlson Pool in Boston Bar will have access to a Play Box and are encouraged to come on down and get into the game with their peers in Hope.

The Recreation Centre will also be hosting Move for Health Day, on Wednesday, May 6th.

Members of the community are invited for free entry to the facility, a children’s obstacle course, a Tai Chi demonstration for the morning Aquafit patrons, senior health and living information, as well as 20 per cent off of facility passes.

The day will also commence with the arrival of the much anticipated Plyometric space and its brand new TRX program.

For more information please contact Mandy Arbuckle at aarbuckle@fvrd.bc.ca, or 604-869-2304 at the Recreation Centre.

Patricia’s quest for a van continues Erin Knutson Hope Standard

Patricia Cawley continues her quest for a new van in the community of Hope. With help from dear friends and supporters, Patricia is making headway in the effort and campaign to secure her dream of transportation by facilitating a life that is met with accessibility, dignity and a little

bit of freedom.

At the Owl Street Cafe fundraiser a few weeks back, a total of $6, 700 in funds were raised toward Patricia’s dream of a better quality of life.

A garage and bake sale will be commencing at the picturesque Victorian house on Old Hope Princeton way, across from the Home Restaurant at 10:00 a.m. to

2:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 2nd.

“We are so thankful to our community and our friends for all the donations toward the garage and bake sale, including hot dog and pop sale items — it’s going to be a fun event,” said Coordinator Corinna Yorke. We are taking donations right up to the sale. Thank you to everyone for your support.”

An oldie but a goodie for the good old hockey game Barry Stewart Hope Standard

At 37 years of age, former Hope Minor Hockey player Jeff Hoggan is the oldest skater in the American Hockey League. When you’re lucky and healthy enough to stay in the game for that length of time, people around the league have taken pretty good stock of your contribution to the game.

Hoggan seems to have made a positive impression, as a majority of players, coaches and media have nominated him as the recipient of this year’s Fred T. Hunt award. He demonstrated the “AHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of sportsmanship, determination and dedication to hockey.”

The award was started in 1978, honouring Hunt, who was an AHL player and manager, working mainly with the AHL Buffalo Bisons and the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres. Past recipients included the current Anaheim Ducks coach, Bruce Boudreau (1988) and long-time NHL players Randy Cunnyworth (2000) and Mike Keane (2007), who spent some of their careers in the AHL. “It’s great to see the other guys on the award,” said Hoggan via telephone last Thursday. “Just to be associated with them is pretty cool.

“Mark Cullen, my room-mate for my first two years of pro is on there, Jordan Sigalet, a fellow BC boy and teammate in Providence, Rhode Island — and Nathan Dempsey, a teammate on the Boston Bruins.”

Hoggan has NHL experience on his résumé as well, with 107 games for the St. Louis Blues, Boston Bruins and Phoenix Coyotes, where he was coached by some guy named Wayne Gretzky. He is in his third year as captain of the Grand Rapids Griffins, the farm team of the Detroit Red Wings.

Hoggan skated in all 76 league games for the Griffins this season, recording 14 goals, 17 assists, and only 39 penalty minutes.

“Hoggan has reached double digits in goals in eight of his nine full AHL seasons while surpassing 60 minutes in penalties just twice,” said the league’s press release. “The 37-year-old native of Hope, B.C., is renowned for his work ethic, competitiveness and preparation, as well as for the culture he has helped to develop and MARK NEWMAN/ GRAND RAPIDS GRIFFINS the leadership he has provided in the Griffins’ locker room, mentoring more than a dozen Hope Minor Hockey product, Jeff Hoggan (#10) celebrates a goal with his Grand Rapids Griffins teammates.
